  • Identification and Quantification of Stilbenes in Some Tunisian Red Wines Using UPLC-MS and HPLC-DAD

The wines of each variety were evaporated, concentrated, and then subjected to fractionation and purification using XAD16 and DOWEX column chromatography. In addition to resveratrol, seven stilbenes were identified by UPLC- MS. The stilbenes derived were shown to be piceatannol, piceid, α-viniferin, e-viniferin, hopeaphenol and isohopeaphenol. From the point of view of the presence of resveratrol derivatives, one wine, Sidi Zahia, was the richest qualitatively.

There are more support and potential now for cooperation and reconciliation than ever before. The international community now has a real chance to create a better and more secure tomorrow. Finland faces a historic choice. As a nation, we now find ourselves in the fortunate position of not being forced by any outsiders into making it. We really are the shapers of our own destiny.

  • Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation
    Images of the Past: Nostalgias in Modern Tunisia Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By David M. Bond, M.A. Graduate Program in Near Eastern Languages and Cultures The Ohio State University 2017 Dissertation Committee: Sabra J. Webber, Advisor Johanna Sellman Philip Armstrong Copyrighted by David Bond 2017 Abstract The construction of stories about identity, origins, history and community is central in the process of national identity formation: to mould a national identity – a sense of unity with others belonging to the same nation – it is necessary to have an understanding of oneself as located in a temporally extended narrative which can be remembered and recalled. Amid the “memory boom” of recent decades, “memory” is used to cover a variety of social practices, sometimes at the expense of the nuance and texture of history and politics. The result can be an elision of the ways in which memories are constructed through acts of manipulation and the play of power. This dissertation examines practices and practitioners of nostalgia in a particular context, that of Tunisia and the Mediterranean region during the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Using a variety of historical and ethnographical sources I show how multifaceted nostalgia was a feature of the colonial situation in Tunisia notably in the period after the First World War. In the postcolonial period I explore continuities with the colonial period and the uses of nostalgia as a means of contestation when other possibilities are limited.

  • Mandela's Vision for a Better World
    Mandela’s vision for a better world LONDON, UNDER EMBARGO UNTIL 18 JULY 09:00 (UTC+1) Tuesday 18th July 2017, International Nelson Mandela Day, 09:00 (UTC+1) The Elders, an international group of ex-world leaders founded by Nelson Mandela, releases a short documentary celebrating their ten years of work across the globe. The film features never-before seen footage of Nelson Mandela, President Carter and Richard Branson meeting in 2007 to set the agenda of their work. The film’s launch coincides with both Nelson Mandela’s birthday and International Nelson Mandela Day. Tuesday 18th July 2017 marks a significant milestone for The Elders as they celebrate ten years since Nelson Mandela founded the group, brought together for peace, justice and human rights. The group will gather in Cape Town to celebrate a decade of accomplishments with a screening of the documentary, and to launch their latest campaign, Walk Together; which aims to show solidarity with those who are most downtrodden and vulnerable in today’s world. "We have nothing to lose, we have our careers behind us. So we should be free to raise our voices and steer people in the right direction.”- Kofi Annan, Chair of The Elders, former UN Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Laureate. The film begins with footage from The Elders’ first meeting in 2007, and includes unseen footage of Nelson Mandela with accompanying interviews from President and Nobel Peace Laureate, Jimmy Carter; Co-Founder of The Elders, Graça Machel; and first female President of Ireland, Mary Robinson. The documentary celebrates their work across the world, providing insight into the delicate negotiations that have gone on to address conflicts and geopolitical tensions in Iran, the Korean Peninsula, Cyprus and Israel/Palestine, and the group’s public advocacy on issues such as climate change, child marriage, equality for girls and women, and refugees and migration.

  • Bugs, Tariffs and Colonies the Political Economy of Wine Trade 1860-1970 Giulia Meloni and Johan Swinnen
    Bugs, Tariffs and Colonies The Political economy of Wine Trade 1860-1970 Giulia Meloni and Johan Swinnen Commentator : Ugo Gragnolati How to drive a country thirsty Other than by attempting the debellation of Phylloxera, France coped with wine shortage through trade policies. The combination of these policies explains much of the wine trade in 1860-1970. 1/11 Trade policies ● 1870-1900: Import wine from Spain and Italy, but with growing tariffs from 1890. ● 1875-1900: Import raisins from Greece, but with growing tariffs from 1890. ● 1880-1930: Stimulate wine production in North Africa, but with growing tariffs on Tunisia and Morocco from 1880 and non-tariff measures also on Algeria from 1930. 2/11 Change of trade partners 3/11 Turning point By 1880 grafting and hybridization produced solid outcomes. By 1900, French domestic production had recovered, with two consequences: ● Increasing supply led wine prices to fall between 1880-1905. ● French domestic producers lobbied for protectionism. 4/11 World wars and aftermath 5/11 Question 1: Effect of wine export on locals Did the expansion of vine plantations in North Africa occur on new plots of land or did it substitute other cultivations? 6/11 Question 2: Battling Phylloxera Apparently, the spread of Phylloxera in North Africa was less dramatic than it was in France. Is this an example of laggard’s advantage? 7/11 Question 3: Knowledge transfer Did winemakers in North Africa employ and train the local labor force, or did they import most of it from France? What accounts do we possibly have of knowledge transfer? 8/11 Question 4: Quality and Tunisian export According to the 1890 trade agreement, Tunisian wine exported to France had to be kept below 11°.

    Jimmy Carter Former President of the United States, Nobel Peace Laureate and veteran peace negotiator; dedicated to advancing peace, democracy and health worldwide. • 39th President of the United States of America 1977-1981 • Nobel Peace Laureate 2002 • Founder of the Carter Center • Author of 28 books, including “A Call to Action: Women, Religion, Violence and Power” (2014) "We need to form partnerships with people and organisations already there, doing outstanding work." Work with The Elders A forthright and principled advocate for human rights and democracy, President Carter has been a member of The Elders since its founding in 2007. In October that year he joined The Elders’ mission to Sudan, highlighting the continuing atrocities and the displacement of millions of people in Darfur. He returned to Khartoum in May 2012 as part of a two-stage visit to the region to encourage dialogue between Sudan and South Sudan. In November 2008, after a group of Elders was denied entry to Zimbabwe, President Carter expressed deep disappointment at the years of corruption, mismanagement and oppression by Zimbabwe’s leadership and called on the international community to respond urgently to the escalating humanitarian crisis in the country. He joined The Elders’ delegations to the Middle East in August 2009 and October 2010, travelling to Israel, the West Bank, Egypt, Jordan and Syria to support efforts to advance an Arab-Israeli peace.

They are adhering less and less to the Mediterranean Diet, despite the fact that it is the basis of their identity and one of the major assets of the region. Pressures on natural resources and the emergence of new private actors are compounding the complexity of diet-related issues. THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET > Already the subject of widespread sociocultural and scientific debate and research, the Mediterranean Diet merits reconsideration from the political point of view FOR SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL given the growing awareness of the strategic dimension of agriculture and the crucial role played by food production in the stability and development of societies. DEVELOPMENT This diet, whose health-promoting virtues are widely recognised and which UNESCO has now listed as part of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity, is now raising questions in the fields of environmental responsibility and political action to promote greater regional cooperation. Cie© & This report has been produced under the direction of the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM), which is an intergovernmental organisation for training, research and cooperation in the fields of agriculture, food and sustainable rural development in the Mediterranean region.
