De la mémoire comme fatalité à la mémoire comme maîtresse de vie. Une réflexion théologique sur l’Afrique

Résumé - L’avenir se construit sur la mémoire des réussites comme des échecs de l’histoire humaine. Voilà pourquoi les réalités douloureuses de l’Afrique telles que l’esclavagisme, la colonisation, et les nouvelles formes de servitude, constituant la mémoire africaine, devraient servir de repères pour qu’elles ne se répètent plus jamais. En ce sens, la mémoire est un gage de refondation de la société africaine pour engendrer un nouveau mode d’exister. « La peine m’a instruit, le passé m’a formé », dit-on.
Pilot scale demonstration of novel co2 co-polymerisation catalysts in the pu polyol market

The European polymer industry is under increasing pressure to produce innovative products at lower cost to compete with overseas imports. Econic Technologies has invented a catalyst that enables replacing up to 40% of petrochemical feedstock in the production of polyurethane polyols, an important polymer segment, with low cost waste CO2, resulting in high performance product. 
Econic Technologies is spun out of Imperial College London, where the technology was invented, now grown to a family of patent-protected catalysts whose unique characteristic is high reactive activity and selectivity for polymers under low pressures. The catalysts enable the maximum theoretical uptake of CO2 with far superior reaction rates than their competitors under industry relevant conditions.
The Econic catalyst creates novel value-add polyol building blocks for polyurethanes whilst offering significant feedstock savings: CO2 costs $100/Tonne whereas PO costs $1900/tonne. When competitive technologies require expensive new plant facilities to meet stringent process conditions Econic’s catalyst can be deployed by a low cost retrofit. 
The technology is proven in the lab (TRL6) and client-site demonstration (TRL7) has commenced on small scale. The Phase I feasibility study has established that early adopting market leading polyol producers are keen to deploy the technology but they still need to persuade their downstream customers, the polyurethane producers. This will crucially be assisted by demonstrator applications which Phase II will now develop. 
Over the first five years after Phase II completion, Econic generates EUR180m catalyst sale revenues. Polyol producers will benefit by increased profit margins to the tune of EUR380m over the same period. Catalyst toll manufacturers will generate turnover of EUR30m+ and carbon capture plants will be able to sell EUR18m worth of CO2. Total expected qualified job creation from the project exceeds 100 over the first five commercial years.
Water resources and land use planning systems in Portugal—Exploring better synergies through Ria de Aveiro

The paper discusses the relevance of a stronger articulation between land use and water resources systems to enhance the success of the Water Framework Directive. Using article 11 of the WFD, this paper assess (i) how the Spatial Planning and Urban Development Law as well as the Portuguese Water Law converge to promote better integration of water resources into spatial planning, (ii) how their prospects are developed at the regional basis, namely through the Regional Spatial Development Plan and River Basin Management Plan, and (iii) how these are prepared to inform other planning instruments at the local level. It shows through a spatial analysis of the regional land-use plan and the river basin plan as applied over the Ria de Aveiro estuary area, the conflicts and opportunities for stronger synergies. The paper concludes with a critical analysis of the integration of the spatial planning and water resources planning systems in Portugal, and reveals new insights and challenges for more productive synergies between these systems.
Models of noncommutative differential geometries

Quantum spacetime is the idea that spacetime coordinates are not classical variables but elements of a noncommutative 'co-ordinate algebra' much as in quantum theory. The first convincing models of (flat) quantum spacetime appeared in the 1990's, typically on the basis of quantum symmetry using the then-new theory of quantum groups. The thinking is that such noncommutativity should arise from quantum gravity effects and allows us to model these in an effective description without full knowledge of quantum gravity itself (this not being known). Such flat quantum spacetimes are an area of existing strength for EU science. The project proposes a new generation of quantum spacetime models no longer tied to quantum symmetry. Instead the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship will train an experienced Researcher coming from theoretical physics in new highly algebraic tools which are not easily accessible to physicists and which amount to a mathematical theory of 'noncommutative Riemannian geometry' including quantum differentials, quantum metrics, and quantum-Levi Civita connections and quantum curvature. The realisation of the project will validate and enrich the mathematical formalism and also promises a next generation of physical effects related to the conjunction of both gravity and quantum noncommutativy, which will stimulate original and creative approaches to quantum gravity across several EU institutes. It will also greatly enhance the competitiveness of the Researcher in complementing her knowledge of theoretical physics by mathematics (noncommutative differential geometry) which will put her in a seminal position for subsequent work. The quality and ambition of the research objectives, the possibilities of interdisciplinary collaborations and the international recognition of the Supervisor will further enhance the action and the Researcher's career.
Muse-based game design

Game design and user experience (UX) design both centre on the design of experiences. But whereas it is par for the course for end-user perspectives to be included during early design stages in UX, there is little methodological support or research into how to incorporate player perspectives into early stages of game design. In this paper, we introduce muse-based game design, an experimental empathic design approach foregrounding a dialogic artist -- muse relationship between a game designer and player. Following a user research stage focused on learning about the player, the designer forms idiosyncratic design constraints inspired by and relating to the player, which are then used to inspire ideation. To understand the consequences, advantages, and disadvantages of this approach, we discuss findings from two years of application of this style of game design in a Master's-level class of game design students at the IT University of Copenhagen.
A kinetic model describes metabolic response to perturbations and distribution of flux control in the benzenoid network of<i>Petunia hybrida</i>

In recent years there has been much interest in the genetic enhancement of plant metabolism; however, attempts at genetic modification are often unsuccessful due to an incomplete understanding of network dynamics and their regulatory properties. Kinetic modeling of plant metabolic networks can provide predictive information on network control and response to genetic perturbations, which allow estimation of flux at any concentration of intermediate or enzyme in the system. In this research, a kinetic model of the benzenoid network was developed to simulate whole network responses to different concentrations of supplied phenylalanine (Phe) in petunia flowers and capture flux redistributions caused by genetic manipulations. Kinetic parameters were obtained by network decomposition and non-linear least squares optimization of data from petunia flowers supplied with either 75 or 150 mm(2)H(5)-Phe. A single set of kinetic parameters simultaneously accommodated labeling and pool size data obtained for all endogenous and emitted volatiles at the two concentrations of supplied (2)H(5)-Phe. The generated kinetic model was validated using flowers from transgenic petunia plants in which benzyl CoA:benzyl alcohol/phenylethanol benzoyltransferase (BPBT) was down-regulated via RNAi. The determined in vivo kinetic parameters were used for metabolic control analysis, in which flux control coefficients were calculated for fluxes around the key branch point at Phe and revealed that phenylacetaldehyde synthase activity is the primary controlling factor for the phenylacetaldehyde branch of the benzenoid network. In contrast, control of flux through the beta-oxidative and non-beta-oxidative pathways is highly distributed.
Comparative Economic Analysis of Hybrid Rice v/s Conventional Rice Production in District Badin Sindh Province Pakistan

Pakistan grows high quality rice including Fine and Course grain varieties, coarse grain varieties are early maturing while fine grain varieties are late maturing. Both fine and coarse grain varieties have Hybrid and Conventional Rice varieties which are high quality rice to fulfill domestic demand and also for exports. The study was design to compare the economic analysis of Hybrid and Conventional Rice production, major objectives of the study were to asses’ financial gain from Hybrid Rice comparing with Conventional Rice and Taluka Golarchi was selected for the present study where both on Hybrid and Conventional Rice varieties are grown, primary data on Hybrid and Conventional Rice was collected from the farmers through personal interviews with the help of specially designed questionnaire. A simple random sampling technique was used to collect the data. Cobb-Douglas production function was used for yield analysis. Total costs per acre of Hybrid Rice were 62010.87 Rs/Acre which were more than Conventional Rice was 56972.09 Rs/Acre. Major differences in hybrid rice production cost are related to higher seed prices, slightly higher land management costs. On an average higher yield (79.41monds per acre) was obtained from Hybrid Rice while Conventional Rice yield (59.74monds per acre) was less then Hybrid Rice. There was 14.14% increase in Hybrid Rice yield comparing with conventional Rice which gives additional income to poor farmers, Price gained per mounds was almost the same in both activities. High profit was observed in Hybrid Rice and low profit was obtained in conventional Rice. Most of the farmers focused to grow Hybrid Rice due to high yield.

Steering Economic and Social Cohesion in the CADSES Space: Valuing Migration as a Development Tool

Although immigration is frequently considered as a factor contributing to development, it often lacks appropriate support services. Immigrant's home investments rely on individual inventiveness or informal networks, while national social systems fail to deal with cross-border movements. Poland, Slovakia and Hungary are the new EU border countries and Romania, the former Yugoslav countries and Albania have high immigration rates. Immigration flows to Greece and Italy are increasing and becoming a major challenge. Suitable tools have to be introduced to cope with this situation. The MIGRAVALUE project aims at launching a model for the active management of immigration as a key tool for the integrated economic and social development of host countries and countries of origin. It involves partners from the EU as well as EU neighbouring countries, representing a broad network of public and private stakeholders, including businesses and immigrants. It shall enhance the spatial cohesion of the involved regions by pointing out the financial and human capital of immigrants. Two main objectives of the project are to further the scope of the ongoing MIGRALINK project which is focused on productive returns. MIGRAVALUE will activate sustainable systems to channel migrants' remittances to foster local development in their countries of origin. Moreover, the social dimension of development by establishing co-operative and transnational welfare programs will be addressed. The activities of the project reflect this integrated, yet twofold approach on economic and social perspectives and also provide analyses and a modelling component.

Data communication apparatus, data transmission method, and computer system

Provided is a data communication apparatus which includes a transmission interval calculator configured to calculate an effective transfer speed of the data based on a difference between an actual arrival time at which response data to transmission data transmitted to the other data communication apparatus has arrived and a predictive arrival time calculated by multiplying the number of relay devices passed until the response data from the other data communication apparatus arrives at the data communication apparatus by a transfer delay time necessary to pass through one relay device and a buffer size of the relay device on a communication path of the data, and calculate a transmission interval of transmission data based on the effective transfer speed and a transmission controller configured to perform transmission control of transmission data based on the transmission interval. Thus, congestion control is efficiently implemented in an interconnection network configured as a regular network.
Outlive: a disruptive non-invasive ultrasound therapy to treat all patients affected with aortic stenosis.

Aortic stenosis (AS) is a life-threatening disease caused by the narrowing of the opening of the aortic valve which is the “gateway” from the heart to the body. With age, the aortic valve calcifies and stiffens, leading to poor blood perfusion. It causes heart failure and sudden death. The only medical response to date consists in replacing the aortic valve. It is provided to very sick patients at high risk of sudden death, who represents 25% of all AS patients (6 million in Europe and US). All other affected patients remain untreated. It is an immense unmet medical need.
In this context, French medtech Cardiawave has developed a revolutionary solution: Valvosoft, a very innovative real-time image guided medical device for the non-invasive treatment of all AS patients. The device delivers focused high-intensity ultrasounds which repair the aortic valve function. Unlike the current medical solutions, Valvosoft is a non-invasive treatment with low risks, complications and costs. It is a game-changer for patients, physicians and health care establishments because it dramatically changes the way of treating AS throughout the world. It should become a new gold standard: every AS patients will benefit from Valvosoft.
Prize-winner of many contests, Cardiawave was created thanks to the combined expertise of an entrepreneur, the Institut Langevin, world leader in ultrasound imaging & therapy and cardiologists from HEGP hospital.
The OUTLIVE project will allow Cardiawave to refine current go-to-market strategy and develop an investor ready business plan following CE-mark. Valvosoft clinical safety and efficacy will be demonstrated and reliable trust relation with early-adopters will be established. OUTLIVE will accelerate the scalable Valvosoft commercialisation and enable Cardiawave to become the future leader in non-invasive therapy with expected cumulative revenues exceeding €1.1bn by 2030 and more than 100 new European jobs created.
Blood lipid levels associate with childhood asthma, airway obstruction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and aeroallergen sensitization

Studies of children's blood lipid profiles in relation to asthma are few, and the results are ambiguous.We sought to examine whether the lipid profile is associated with concurrent asthma, altered lung function, and allergic sensitization in children.High-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were measured at ages 5 to 7 years in the Copenhagen Prospective Studies on Asthma in Childhood2000 at-risk birth cohort. Asthma and allergic rhinitis were diagnosed based on predefined algorithms at age 7 years along with assessments of lung function, bronchial responsiveness, fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (Feno), and allergic sensitization. Associations between lipid levels and clinical outcomes were adjusted for sex, passive smoking, and body mass index.High levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were associated with concurrent asthma (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.93; 95% CI, 1.06-3.55; P = .03) and airway obstruction: 50% of forced expiratory flow (aβ coefficient, -0.13 L/s; 95% CI, -0.24 to -0.03 L/s; P = .01) and specific airway resistance (aβ coefficient, 0.06 kPa/s; 95% CI, 0.00-0.11 kPa/s; P = .05). High levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were associated with improved specific airway resistance (aβ coefficient, -0.11 kPa/s; 95% CI, -0.21 to -0.02; P = .02), decreased bronchial responsiveness (aβ coefficient, 0.53 log-μmol; 95% CI, 0.00-1.60 log-μmol; P = .05), decreased risk of aeroallergen sensitization (aOR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.01-0.70; P = .01), and a trend of reduced Feno levels (aβ coefficient, -0.22 log-ppb; 95% CI, -0.50 to 0.01 log-ppb; P = .06). High triglyceride levels were associated with aeroallergen sensitization (aOR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.14-3.56; P = .02) and a trend of increased Feno levels (aβ coefficient, 0.14 log-ppb; 95% CI, -0.02 to 0.30 log-ppb; P = .08).The blood lipid profile is associated with asthma, airway obstruction, bronchial responsiveness, and aeroallergen sensitization in 7-year-old children. These findings suggest that asthma and allergy are systemic disorders with commonalities with other chronic inflammatory disorders.
Forest Managers' Perceptions of the Foremost Forestry Issues and Functions in Turkey

Forestry organization is both the main stakeholder in policy making and the application process, and an important policy instrument in reaching policy objectives. Thus, the managers of national forestry organizations play an important role in achieving the sustainable use and management of forest resources. The main aim of this paper is to determine Turkish forest managers’ perceptions of the main forestry issues and the factors that influence these perceptions. In this direction, the opinions of top-level managers of the Turkish Regional Forest Directorates toward forest functions, the problems that occur during the management process, and foremost issues to gain importance in the future were evaluated through a questionnaire. The study covers all 27 regional forest directorates, which conduct their activities all over the country under the General Directorate of Forestry. The results of the study show that forest managers recognize the importance of sociocultural and environmental-ecological functions of forest resources, similar to international trends. They also strongly emphasized some problems associated with national circumstances such as cadastral and ownership problems, deficiency in personnel motivation, and problems occurring in forest-society relations.
The genetic basis for glial differentiation in the developing zebrafish retina.

Glia far out number neurons in the brain and their defects are now known to be associated with many neurological diseases. Glial specification and physiological function are very well studied however, remarkably little is known about they way in which glia are positioned or shaped in order to perform their critical support functions.  The goal of the present study is to broaden the field of glial development by using new techniques to ask previously unattainable questions.  This central goal of this research project is carried out through an in-depth morphological, genetic and transcritpomic analyses of differentiating Müller Glia in the Zebrafish (Danio rerio) eye.  Results from these studies will provide and the first extensive profiling of a differentiating glial population.  Furthermore, the extensive data that will be generated in this proposal will provide a basis for many future studies on glial biology for both in the host laboratory and  for the experienced researcher during his career development. Ultimately, these and future studies will provide a foundation for identifying the molecular networks that underlie glial patterning in the brain that will no doubt be informative in the study of glial related neurological disease.
TWO-PHASE DATA TRANSFER PROTOCOL

A data communication arrangement permits efficient data transfer between a controller module (102) and multiple target modules (104) using a two-phase protocol. The controller module (102) and the target modules (104) can each reside in separate clock domains. Consistent with one example embodiment, a data communication arrangement includes a plurality of target modules (104), and a first XOR tree (110) arranged to provide a first data integrity-indicating signal (111) and to respond to a respective second data integrity­indicating signal (108) from each of the target modules (104). A second XOR tree (112) is arranged to provide a first data bus (114) and to respond to a respective second data bus (106) from each of the target modules (104). Also, a controller module (102) is used to determine availability of data on the first data bus (114) in response to the first data integrity-indicating signal (111).
Sources of financing knowledge-based economy: the case of formal, non-formal and informal education in Poland

Globalization, negative demographic trends, new sources of knowledge and volatile job market are the determining factors behind the change in approach to the education system in Poland. Formal, non-formal and informal education is the sine qua non of the implementation of a knowledge-based economy in Poland. This process, however, requires an in-depth analysis of the funding of education. So far there have been no Polish publications analyzing the funding of the three aforementioned forms of education. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to assess the possibilities to implement knowledge-based economy with regard to the current funding of formal, non-formal and informal education in Poland. The study involved the analysis of national and EU documents on subject and object oriented funding of educational tasks and procedures for determining the amount of funding allocated to these tasks. The analysis showed that the barrier inhibiting the implementation of knowledge-based economy is the lack of legal regulations enabling the implementation of new solutions for financing education in Poland. These solutions involve the effective joint funding from the state budget, local government budgets and private funds (provided by employers and learners). This requires urgent conceptual work and initiating implementation projects in the area of public finance in Poland.
PROCESSO PARA A OBTENÇÃO DE UMA COSTURA POR FUSÃO

O presente invento diz respeito a um processo para a obtenção de uma costura por fusão. A costura por fusão consiste na união de duas camadas de tecido por meio de um filme termofusível. O processo de termofusão obtém-se com a acção conjugada de pressão e temperatura. O resultado é uma costura que não ultrapassa em altura mais do que a altura dos tecidos que compõem a união e se apresentacompletamente rematada, não tendo por isso fios dos tecidos intervenientes ou da costura caso se tratasse de uma costura tradicional. Resolve-se pois o problema do desfiamento ou torção de costura feitas pelo método tradicional.
