Evolution of dry season low cloud cover over the Atlantic coast of Central Africa from diurnal to interannual scale
2022
Despite its bioclimatic importance, few studies have focused on the stratiform low-level cloud cover ofthe dry season (June-September) of the Atlantic coast of Central Africa. Using in-situ data documenting theperiod 1971-2019, we show that this cloud cover is underestimated by SAFNWC satellite observations andCMIP6 models. We identify three types of days: clear, cloudy at night and totally cloudy, the latterbeing more frequent on the coast and inland, to the windward of the Cristal and Chaillu Mountains. Onan interannual scale, temperature anomalies in the South Tropical Atlantic, the equatorial Pacific and theCongo Basin, by modulating the meridional and zonal circulation cells, influence…
Graphic hyperboles and critical dystopia in Miguel Brieva's drawings
2020
Dorothée CHOUITEM, Louis IMPERIALE, Joanna WILK-RACIĘSKA (coord); International audience; Dans les dessins de Miguel Brieva (Séville, 1974), l’humour participe assurément d’un exercice de déconstruction. Critique, moqueur, destructeur, son geste graphique se complait dans la propension à l’exagération, à l’hyperbole et au « superlatif ». L’intention est de mettre au jour les nouvelles formes de violence de la période présente de l’hypercapitalisme. La félicité n’étant guère questionneuse, c’est le dessin, en tant qu’outil de monstration, qui sera chargé de présenter les contreparties de nos jouissances acquises. Les images auront ici pour ambition de participer au renversement des insoutena…
Les détournements de la symbolique républicaine par la caricature (1871-1910)
2013
Les années 1871 à 1910 forment, pour la Troisième République, une période longue et disparate quant au statut de ce régime, nécessitant de rappeler quelques éléments qui, s’ils sont des évidences, n’en sont pas moins déterminants quant à la symbolique républicaine et la caricature, qui nous occupent ici. La Troisième République se trouve dans l’obligation de se démarquer de la Commune de 1871 juste après laquelle elle est instaurée, en même temps qu’elle doit dans un premier temps combattre l...

Ethnographies of the contemporary is the name chosen for this new magazine, in which we will try to explain phenomena of permanence and change through the priority recourse to ethnographic practice. The magazine takes up some of the talks held on the occasion of the permanent Ethnographies of the contemporary seminar, conceived and coordinated by the writer, which is based at the Antonio Pasqualino International Puppet Museum in Palermo. The Permanent Seminar was established on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Association for the Conservation of Popular Traditions, responding to one of the main wishes of its founders: that the Museum could become a place and…
Home is behind. L’esilio, il viaggio e il ritorno tra Tolkien e Virgilio
2016
Il contributo mira a esaminare le relazioni vigenti tra le opere tolkieniane e l’Eneide di Virgilio, con particolare riferimento al motivo mitico del viaggio. Dal confronto ragionato tra l’epos latino e la mitopoiesi di Tolkien si intende sviluppare un’analisi dei temi principali riguardanti i motivi del viaggio e dell’esilio: il fardello del potere e dell’eletto del fato (Enea fato profugus e Aragorn Re Ramingo), con attenzione a Enea, spossato dai labores e asservito al volere dei fata, e al ritorno di Aragorn come Re. Ciò si lega direttamente al tema dell’esilio e del ritorno: Virgilio rappresenta i Troiani giunti nel Lazio come eredi dell’italico Dardano tornati a casa; in Tolkien, il m…

Analysis of cloudiness and solar radiation diurnal cycles for a better understanding of the forests greenness mean annual cycle in Central Africa.
2016
To better understand the Central Africa forests sensitivity toclimate variability, we jointly analyse the mean annual cycles of greenness, rainfall, cloudiness and solarradiation for the target region 0-5°N/12-19°E using high resolution satellite data. Our results demonstrate theimportance of the diurnal scale for understanding the mean annual cycles of rainfall, cloudiness and solarradiation and the way they shape those of forest greenness. They also suggest that whereas the March-Mayrainy season appears optimal for greenness especially because of favorable light conditions, water availabilityis the main controlling factor in December-January the main dry season and in February at the star…
Cycles diurnes de rayonnement solaire et forets en Afrique Centrale.
2018
The sunlightconditions prevailing in Central Africa, and their potential impact on forests traits and functioning, have neverbeen fully explored. Using satellite estimates documenting mostly the period 2005-2013, and accounting forscale interactions between the diurnal and annual cycles, we demonstrate that the seasonality of sunlight levelsstrongly vary across Central Africa forests. Gabon stands out with a main dry season strongly light-deficient,cool and moist. An original map of terra firme forest types developed by CIRAD shows that most of theevergreen forests of Central Africa develop in Gabon. We postulate that despite a mean annual precipitationamount below 2000 mm/yr, the Gabonese …
Early Spondyloarthritis Clinic: Organizational Improvements in the Patient Journey
2022
Spondyloarthritis are chronic inflammatory diseases affecting spine, peripheral joints and enthesis, as well as extra-articular sites (bowel, eyes, skin). Diagnosis of spondyloarthritis often is slow and requires a multidisciplinary approach. The “Early SpA Clinic” project aimed at improving the patient care and journeys, by solving some organizational issues existing in Rheumatology Clinics. The “Early SpA Clinic” involved 19 Italian Rheumatology Centers using in-depth organizational analyses to identify areas for improvement. From the results of the analyses, some organizational solutions were suggested, and their impact measured at the end of the project through specific KPI. With the im…
