Using narrative devices such as allusions and free associations, multivalent expressions, and irony, the author of Esther wrote a story that is about a Jewish woman, Esther, during the time of the Persian exile of Yehudites, and the Persian king, Ahasuerus, who was in power at the time. At various junctures, the author also used secret writing, or we could say that he conveys mixed messages: one is a surface message, but another, often conflicting message lies beneath the surface. For instance, the outer portrayal of the king as one of the main protagonists is an ironic strategy used by the author to highlight the king’s impotent, indecisive, “antihero” status. He may wield authority—as symbolized by his twice-delegated signet ring—but he remains powerless. Among all the concealments in the story, the concealment of God stands out as the most prominent and influential example.A growing number of scholars regard the book of Esther as a “comic diversion,” the function and intention of which are to entertain the reader. However, Grossman is more convinced by Mikhail Bakhtin’s approach, and he labels his application of this approach to the reading of Esther as “theological carnivalesque.” Bakhtin viewed the carnival (or the carnivalesque genre) as a challenge by the masses to the governing establishment and to accepted social conventions. He described the carnival as an eruption of ever-present but suppressed popular sentiments. The connection between the story of Esther and Bakhtin’s characterization of the carnivalesque in narrative is evident especially in the book of Esther’s use of the motifs of “reversal” and “transformation.” For example, the young girl Esther is transformed from an exiled Jewess into a queen in one of the turnabouts that characterize the narrative. Many more examples are provided in this analysis of one of the Bible’s most fascinating books.

L’évolution de la structure des protéines lors de leur passage en phase gazeuse est encore méconnue. Dans le cadre de ce mémoire, nous avons utilisé le marquage covalent pour modifier les chaînes latérales d’un type d’acide aminé ciblé afin d’en apprendre davantage sur son rôle structural lors du passage en phase gazeuse. Nous avons étudié l’impact du marquage des lysines sur le comportement en phase gazeuse d’une protéine modèle, le cytochrome C en utilisant le dépliement induit par collision couplé à la mobilité ionique. Différents marqueurs ont été utilisés et leurs effets sont comparés. Ces tests sont accompagnés de l’élaboration d’un protocole efficace, d’une étude de l’impact du marquage sur la structure de la protéine en solution et d’une étude sur les sites de marquage et leur réactivité respectives. Nos résultats montrent que le marquage des lysines par des groupement -Ac entraîne l’adoption de conformation plus compactes, ce qui met en évidence leur rôle structurel en phase gazeuse. La comparaison de l’impact des groupements -Ac avec celui de groupements plus volumineux portant un deux ou trois phényls révèle deux effets dépendants du groupement lié. Une augmentation de l’impact du marqueur sur la structure pour les marqueurs plus volumineux et une augmentation de la section efficace de collision de la protéine marquée. Ces résultats ouvrent la voix à de nombreuses perspectives utilisant la même technique mais en variant la protéine cible ou les marqueurs utilisés afin d’améliorer notre compréhension des phénomènes en jeu.

Studies on new solutions in the field of high-voltage insulating materials are presented in this book. Most of these works concern liquid insulation, especially biodegradable ester fluids; however, in a few cases, gaseous and solid insulation are also considered. Both fundamental research as well as research related to industrial applications are described. In addition, experimental techniques aimed at possibly finding new ways of analysing the experimental data are proposed to test dielectrics.

Applied biocatalysis and biotransformation, that is, the use of enzymes and whole-cell systems in manufacturing processes for synthetic purposes, has been experiencing a clear boom in recent years, which has led to the start of the so-called “fourth wave”. In fact, the latest advances in bioinformatics, system biology, process intensification, and, in particular, enzyme-directed evolution (encouraged by the 2018 Nobel Prize awarded to F. Arnold), are widening the range of the efficacy of biocatalysts and accelerating the rate at which new enzymes are becoming available, even for activities not previously known. European scientists have been very actively involved in different aspects of this field. Nine contributions dealing with different aspects of applied biocatalysis developed by European researchers are gathered in this Special Issue

Biocatalysis is very appealing to the industry because it allows, in principle, the synthesis of products not accessible by chemical synthesis. Enzymes are very effective, as are precise biocatalysts, as they are enantioselective, with mild reaction conditions and green chemistry. Biocatalysis is currently widely used in the pharmaceutical industry, food industry, cosmetic industry, and textile industry. This includes enzyme production, biocatalytic process development, biotransformation, enzyme engineering, immobilization, the synthesis of fine chemicals and the recycling of biocatalysts. One of the most challenging problems in biocatalysis applications is process optimization. This Special Issue shows that an optimized biocatalysis process can provide an environmentally friendly, clean, highly efficient, low cost, and renewable process for the synthesis and production of valuable products. With further development and improvements, more biocatalysis processes may be applied in the future.
