Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The issue of material support for the missionary activities of the Society of Jesus in New France remained one of the most painful throughout its history of the XVII-XVIII centuries. According to many researchers, it was the financial and economic activities of the order in the missionary territories that served as one of the main reasons (and reasons) for its prohibition in the second half of the XVIII century. During the previous century, especially the first half of it, most of the difficulties and problems faced by Jesuit missionaries in Canada were caused by insufficient, or even completely absent, material base of their activities. The participation of Jesuit missionaries in North America in the fur trade has been the subject of intense debate since their appearance in New France and up to the present day. It seems that the representatives of the order were indeed involved in the fur trade, which was caused by the need for material support for their main, missionary, activities. Throughout the period under review, furs continued to be, first of all, the main monetary equivalent in the colony, along with gifts of various kinds, and in this form were used by Jesuit missionaries, as well as by other persons and organizations on its territory and even more so beyond its borders, in the native environment.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
