Digues maritimes et fluviales de protection contre les submersions - 2e colloque national - Digues 2013
Author: ROYET Paul
Publisher: Lavoisier
ISBN: 2746295369
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 730
Book Description
Au regard du Code de l’environnement, les digues, considérées comme ouvrages hydrauliques, ne doivent pas rompre de façon dangereuse pour les populations. En tant que moyen de prévention du risque d’inondation ou de submersion, les performances et les limites de ces digues doivent être connues avec précision. Les digues de protection constituent donc une question politique mise en évidence par plusieurs événements récents (Xynthia 2010, la NouvelleOrléans 2005, Rhône aval 2003, Gard 2002, Aude 1999). Cet ouvrage rassemble les contributions présentées lors du 2e colloque national Digues maritimes et fluviales de protection contre les submersions (Digues2013), organisé par l’Irstea et Promosciences, les 12, 13 et 14 juin 2013 au Centre des Congrès d’AixenProvence, avec le soutien du MEDDE, du CFBR, et de la Région ProvenceAlpesCôte d’Azur. Il s’adresse aux maîtres d’ouvrages, gestionnaires, concepteurs, constructeurs, enseignants et chercheurs, services de contrôle, organismes financeurs, agissant dans les domaines d’activités liés, directement ou indirectement, à la sûreté des digues maritimes et fluviales.

L'autorité religieuse et ses limites en terres d'islam
Author:
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004244565
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
Reprenant à nouveaux frais la question de l'autorité religieuse, ce livre présente différents cas d'étude en Asie centrale, à travers l'Empire ottoman, dans les Balkans et en Turquie. Sont examinés les rapports complexes qu'entretiennent, avec le pouvoir politique, cheikhs soufis, oulémas, sheikh ul-islâm, hégoumènes, ou encore clergé latin à l'époque prémoderne. Les XXe et XXIe siècles sont analysés du point de vue des transformations de l'autorité religieuse, certes fragmentée mais vigoureuse, en particulier chez les réformistes musulmans bosniaques et les Bektashis albanais, également parmi les Alévis d'Anatolie ou bien dans le soufisme féminin à Istanbul. Il apparaît que l'autorité religieuse dépasse le seul cadre des autorités traditionnelles et se heurte sans cesse à des limites théologiques, politiques, sociales ou institutionnelles. Ont contribué/contributors include: Elisabetta Borromeo, Xavier Bougarel, Rachida Chih, Nathalie Clayer, Jérôme Cler, Benoît Fliche, Anna Neubauer, Alexandre Papas, Nicolas Vatin, Gilles Veinstein. Reconsidering the question of religious authority, L'autorité religieuse et ses limites en terres d'islam offers various case studies located in Central Asia, throughout the Ottoman Empire, in the Balkans and in Turkey. The present volume discusses the complex relationships between political power and religious authorities, such as Sufi shaykhs, ulamas, sheikh ul-islâm, hegumens, and the latin clergy in the premodern period. The 20th and 21th centuries are analysed from the perspective of the transformation of religious authority - certainly fragmented but vigorous - among the Bosnian Muslim Reformists, the Albanian Bektashis, the Alevis of Anatolia, and in female Sufism in Istanbul. It appears that religious authority is not limited to traditional authorities and is continuously confronted with limits, whether theological, political, social or institutional.

Linguistic Perspectives on the Construction of Meaning and Knowledge
Author: Elke Diedrichsen
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527540421
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
This book is an exploration of the dimensions of meaning in language from several important perspectives that are of major interest to scholars today, bringing together studies from the realms of linguistic pragmatics, semantics, ontological knowledge engineering, and computational linguistics. Situated within modern functional-cognitive constructional-ontological and computational paradigms, the analyses here are supported by authentic language data, including corpus data, from a rich set of languages. Context and situation play an important but complex role in meaning elaboration. The role of context and situation is elusive and has proved difficult to elucidate with respect to meaning and knowledge representation. This volume provides evidence of the nature of the, often rapid, emergence of meaning in the digital world of the internet, social media, and Internet memes. The use of computational avatars and the rise of human language technologies, including big data and digital corpora, have made the construction of meaning and human language understanding essential to the work of linguists, cognitive scientists and computer scientists who are increasingly working together in collaborative teams to share insights.

Law of the Sea, Environmental Law and Settlement of Disputes
Author: Tafsir Malick Ndiaye
Publisher: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers
ISBN: 9004161562
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1237
Book Description
This volume covers a variety of topics in the fields of the law of the sea and the protection of the environment. The particular focus of the volume is on the role and function of judicial, quasi-judicial and administrative institutions in the prevention and settlement of disputes in both of these areas. This includes an overview and insightful analysis of the cases of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea during its first decade. Further substantive issues range from the allocation of shared marine resources, maritime boundary delimitation and issues of maritime security to the prevention of marine pollution as well as a coverage of the compliance and enforcement mechanisms of international environmental law. The views from both scholars' and practitioners' perspectives presented in this volume will offer readers a number of outstanding intellectual synergies to reflect on the development of international law. It can provide both scholars and policy-makers alike with new insights on how to address pressing problems in international law, including ideas for improved institutional design. The work has been compiled in honour of Thomas A. Mensah and comprises 59 essays from leading scholars and practitioners in international law.

On 22 to 28 July 2018 the International Academy of Comparative Law organized its 20th General Congress in Fukuoka Japan.

This book gathers a selection of the general contributions to the 20th General Congress dealing with current issues in Comparative Law. This is a premiere for the Academy. It seemed important for the Executive Committee to have access to the general contributions offered during the General Congress which certainly deserve the same attention as the General Reports.

Ce livre rassemble une sélection des contributions générales du 20ème Congrès général qui traitent des questions actuelles du droit comparé. Il s’agit d’une première pour l’Académie. Il est apparu important pour le Bureau de pouvoir avoir accès aux contributions générales offertes pendant le Congrès général et qui méritent assurément la même attention que les rapports généraux.
