Ce livre démontre comment certaines composantes de la communauté unioniste nord-irlandaise - notamment le Parti Unioniste et l’Ordre d’Orange - ont récemment lancé une véritable campagne culturelle destinée à repenser l’image identitaire du « peuple britannique d’Ulster » et à briser le carcan des mythes fondateurs de la communauté : le siège de Londonderry et la bataille de la Boyne. Cette nouvelle image identitaire se crée à partir de plusieurs récits qui permettent à la communauté de s’imaginer sur une échelle plus vaste en repoussant ses coordonnées spatiales et chronologiques. Ces récits évoquent l’héritage millénaire des Cruthin, habitants aborigènes de l’Ulster préhistorique, l’émigration presbytérienne vers l’Amérique, ainsi que les échanges linguistiques et culturels entre le Nord de l’Irlande et l’Écosse. Cette réécriture de l’histoire identitaire débouche sur un « désenclavement » de l’espace imaginaire de la communauté unioniste ; elle ouvre la voie vers une remise en question globale des versions nationalistes de l’histoire irlandaise.

L'ouvrage livre les résultats d'une recherche pluridisciplinaire sur le Tricastin antique, en moyenne vallée du Rhône, et sur la centuriation qui en a structuré les campagnes dès la fin de la République romaine. Cette centuriation est attestée par les documents cadastraux de la colonie d'Orange, sous le nom de Cadastre B, le moins lacunaire des trois plans épigraphiques identifiés par le chanoine Joseph Sautel et André Piganiol. L'ouvrage s'ouvre par une présentation géographique, géologique et pédologique du Tricastin, complétée par une présentation synthétique de son évolution historique avant et après la conquête romaine. Il se poursuit par une enquête sur le plan cadastral B de la colonie d'Orange et son insertion dans le dossier des documents cadastraux dont on rappelle le contexte historique. La recherche a porté sur les vestiges de cette centuriation, à la fois sous leur forme archéologique, révélés par les fouilles réalisées sur le tracé de la ligne TGV Méditerranée, et sous leur forme archéogéographique, en évaluant leur influence sur le tracé des voies, des cours d'eau rectifiés, des canaux et fossés de drainage et des limites parcellaires. La recherche a concerné aussi les formes de l'habitat gallo-romain, repéré par prospections aériennes, prospections au sol et fouilles archéologiques. L'ouvrage offre une synthèse détaillée sur l'évolution du système du peuplement durant l'Antiquité. Cette approche est étayée par une enquête sur les contrats de location renseignés par l'épigraphie du cadastre B d'Orange, par une étude de la mise en valeur des terres et par un bilan des connaissances sur le système de culture, éclairé, entre autres, par les témoignages archéologiques sur les établissements viticoles et la viticulture. L'ouvrage se clôt par une approche archéogéographique de l'évolution du paysage centurié, qui s'interroge sur les formes de pérennisation du cadre morphologique de la centuriation B et sur son impact sur le paysage actuel.

Given that the threat of water shortage is expanding across the globe, the evolution of advanced technologies that enable water purification and, thus, water re-use in an energy and resource efficient manner are of great importance. In this regard, nanomaterials have been playing a crucial role and offering new opportunities for the construction of permeable and selective membranes and adsorbents. Such features are of paramount importance, particularly given the limited available energy resources. In this book, several recent studies are introduced that deal with water treatment via nanomaterial-based technologies. Such state-of-the-art technologies have employed nanomaterials that are made of polymer, composite, ceramic, and carbon, etc., and are shaped in various dimensionalities and forms such as particle (0D), fiber (1D), and film (2D–3D). The nanostructured membranes and adsorbents as well as photocatalytic nanosystems capable of active photodecomposition of organic pollutants, e.g., dyes, are the main focal points of discussion.

Plants have served mankind as an important source of foods and medicines. While we all consume plants and their products for nutritional support, a majority of the world population also rely on botanical remedies to meet their health needs, either as their own “traditional medicine” or as “complementary and alternative medicine”. From a pharmaceutical point of view, many compounds obtained from plant sources have long been known to possess bio/pharmacological activities, and historically, plants have yielded many important drugs for human use, from morphine discovered in the early nineteenth century to the more recent paclitaxel and artemisinin. Today, we are witnessing a global resurgence in interest and use of plant-based therapies and botanical products, and natural products remain an important and viable source of lead compounds in many drug discovery programs.This Special Issue on “Plant Natural Products for Human Health” compiles a series of scientific reports to demonstrate the medicinal potentials of plant natural products. It covers a range of disease targets, such as diabetes, inflammation, cancer, neurological disease, cardiovascular disease, liver damage, bacterial, and fungus infection and malarial. These papers provide important insights into the current state of research on drug discovery and new techniques. It is hoped that this Special Issue will serve as a timely reference for researchers and scholars who are interested in the discovery of potentially useful molecules from plant sources for health-related applications.

Materials play a very important role in the technological development of a society. As a consequence, the continuous demand for more advanced and sophisticated applications is closely linked to the availability of innovative materials. Although aspects related to the study, the synthesis and the applications of materials are of interdisciplinary interest, in the last few years, great attention has been paid to the development of advanced materials for environmental preservation and sustainable energy technologies, such as gaseous pollutant monitoring, waste water treatment, catalysis, carbon dioxide valorization, green fuel production, energy saving, water adsorption and clean technologies. This Special Issue aims at covering the current design, synthesis and characterization of innovative advanced materials, as well as novel nanotechnologies able to offer promising solutions to the these pressing themes.
