Tightly Coupled Integration of GPS Ambiguity Fixed Precise Point Positioning and MEMS-INS through a Troposphere-Constrained Adaptive Kalman Filter
Authors: Han Houzeng , Xu Tianhe , Wang Jian
Published: July 2016

Precise Point Positioning (PPP) makes use of the undifferenced pseudorange and carrier phase measurements with ionospheric-free (IF) combinations to achieve centimeter-level positioning accuracy. Conventionally, the IF ambiguities are estimated as float values. To improve the PPP positioning accuracy and shorten the convergence time, the integer phase clock model with between-satellites single-difference (BSSD) operation is used to recover the integer property. However, the continuity and availability of stand-alone PPP is largely restricted by the observation environment. The positioning performance will be significantly degraded when GPS operates under challenging environments, if less than five satellites are present. A commonly used approach is integrating a low cost inertial sensor to improve the positioning performance and robustness. In this study, a tightly coupled (TC) algorithm is implemented by integrating PPP with inertial navigation system (INS) using an Extended Kalman filter (EKF). The navigation states, inertial sensor errors and GPS error states are estimated together. The troposphere constrained approach, which utilizes external tropospheric delay as virtual observation, is applied to further improve the ambiguity-fixed height positioning accuracy, and an improved adaptive filtering strategy is implemented to improve the covariance modelling considering the realistic noise effect. A field vehicular test with a geodetic GPS receiver and a low cost inertial sensor was conducted to validate the improvement on positioning performance with the proposed approach. The results show that the positioning accuracy has been improved with inertial aiding. Centimeter-level positioning accuracy is achievable during the test, and the PPP/INS TC integration achieves a fast re-convergence after signal outages. For troposphere constrained solutions, a significant improvement for the height component has been obtained. The overall positioning accuracies of the height component are improved by 30.36%, 16.95% and 24.07% for three different convergence times, i.e., 60, 50 and 30 min, respectively. It shows that the ambiguity-fixed horizontal positioning accuracy has been significantly improved. When compared with the conventional PPP solution, it can be seen that position accuracies are improved by 19.51%, 61.11% and 23.53% for the north, east and height components, respectively, after one hour convergence through the troposphere constraint fixed PPP/INS with adaptive covariance model.
A Novel Strategy to Eliminate the Influence of Water Adsorption on Quartz Surfaces on Piezoelectric Dynamometers
Authors: Jia Zhenyuan , Jin Lei , Liu Wei , Ren Zongjin
Published: July 2016

Piezoelectric dynamometers are out of use in high humidity. Experimental results showed that piezoelectric coefficients measured by the force-induced charges method initially fluctuated in a small range and then was unstable, and they could not be measured at high relative humidity (RH). The traditional shielding method-insulation paste was not quiet convenient, and it even added the weight of piezoelectric dynamometers. In this paper, a novel strategy that eliminates the influence of water adsorption with quartz surfaces on piezoelectric dynamometers was proposed. First, a water-quartz model was developed to analyze the origin of the RH effect. In the model, water vapor, which was adsorbed by the quartz sheet side surface, was considered. Second, equivalent sheet resistor of the side surface was researched, while the relationship of the three R’s (Roughness, RH, and Resistor) was respectively discussed based on the adsorption mechanism. Finally, fluorination technology was skillfully adapted to each surface of quartz sheets to shield the water vapor. The experiment verified the fluorination strategy and made piezoelectric dynamometers work in high humidity up to 90%RH successfully. The results showed that the presented model above was reasonable. In addition, these observations also drew some useful insights to change the structure of piezoelectric dynamometers and improve the properties.

Published: July 2016

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of increasing the duration of the recovery periods separating serial bouts of small sided games (SSG) of football on technical skills (TS). Twelve semi-professional footballers (mean ± SD; age 21 ± 3 years; VO2peak 64 ± 7 mL∙min∙kg−1; playing experience 15 ± 3 years) completed two SSG sessions, consisting of 3 vs. 3 players and 6 bouts of 2 min, separated by either 30 s recovery (REC-30) or 120 s recovery (REC-120). Sixteen TS, including passing, possession, and defensive related variables, and exercise intensity (heart rate, rating of perceived exertion, time motion descriptors) during the bouts were measured. Repeated measures ANOVA were used to determine differences between-conditions, for TS. The number of successful tackles was significantly higher, and the average time each team maintained possession was significantly lower in REC-120 compared to REC-30. There were no significant differences for all other TS variables, or exercise intensity measures between REC-30 and REC-120. Overall, a four-fold increase in the duration of recovery separating SSG bouts did not alter the technical skill execution of players. The experience and skill level of the players, combined with an apparent regulation of effort through pacing, may have assisted in the maintenance of technical skill execution.
A Behavioral Model of Managerial Perspectives Regarding Technology Acceptance in Building Energy Management Systems
Authors: Chin Jacky , Lin Shu-Chiang
Published: July 2016

The Building Energy Management System (BEMS), a well-known system that has been implemented in some energy corporations, has become attractive to many companies seeking to better monitor their energy consumption efficiency. This study investigated the external factors that influence acceptance of the BEMS from managerial perspectives. An extended model based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was created to evaluate the implementation of the BEMS in the manufacturing industries. A structural equation modeling (SEM) approach was used to analyze the model by adopting compatibility, features, technology complexity, and perceived risk as the external variables, and integrating the five dimensions of perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, attitude, user satisfaction, and behavioral intention. The analysis results indicated that the external factors positively influenced users’ behavioral intention to use the BEMS through expected satisfaction, perceived ease of use, and perceived usefulness. Suggestions for BEMS developers are provided as well.
The Role of Paradigm Analysis in the Development of Policies for a Resource Efficient Economy
Authors: Vanner Robin , Bicket Martha
Published: July 2016

Policy makers are often called upon to navigate between scientists’ urgent calls for long-term concerted action to reduce the environmental impacts due to resource use, and the public’s concerns over policies that threaten lifestyles or jobs. Against these political challenges, resource efficiency policy making is often a changeable and even chaotic process, which has fallen short of the political ambitions set by democratically elected governments. This article examines the importance of paradigms in understanding how the public collectively responds to new policy proposals, such as those developed within the project DYNAmic policy MiXes for absolute decoupling of environmental impact of EU resource use from economic growth (DYNAMIX). The resulting proposed approach provides a framework to understand how different concerns and worldviews converge within public discourse, potentially resulting in paradigm change. Thus an alternative perspective on how resource efficiency policy can be development is proposed, which envisages early policies to lay the ground for future far-reaching policies, by altering the underlying paradigm context in which the public receive and respond to policy. The article concludes by arguing that paradigm change is more likely if the policy is conceived, framed, designed, analyzed, presented, and evaluated from the worldview or paradigm pathway that it seeks to create (i.e., the destination paradigm).

Authors: Kim Kyunam , Jung Jung-Kyu , Choi Jae
Published: July 2016

The characteristics of the smart city industry and its effects on the national economy of Korea are investigated using input-output analysis. The definition and industrial classification of a smart city are established using the Delphi technique for experts in various fields, from information and communication technologies (ICT) to governmental policies for urban matters. The results of the analysis, including the production, value added and employment induction effects, show that the smart city industry has intermediate characteristics between ICT and urban construction industries, indicating that acquisition of the competitive edge of both the ICT and construction industries is the key to the success of the smart city industry. The crucial industries related to the smart city industry are identified based on an analysis of the forward and backward linkage effects, the results of which suggest the importance of the relevant service industries. The economic effects on the national economy induced by the governmental program for smart city demonstration are estimated using input-output analysis results. Overall, the results of this study indicate that facilitation of the smart city industry plays a key role not only in the sustainable city, but also in the growth of the national economy.
Breathers in Hamiltonian PT -Symmetric Chains of Coupled Pendula under a Resonant Periodic Force
Authors: Chernyavsky Alexander , Pelinovsky Dmitry
Published: July 2016

We derive a Hamiltonian version of the PT -symmetric discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation that describes synchronized dynamics of coupled pendula driven by a periodic movement of their common strings. In the limit of weak coupling between the pendula, we classify the existence and spectral stability of breathers (time-periodic solutions localized in the lattice) supported near one pair of coupled pendula. Orbital stability or instability of breathers is proved in a subset of the existence region.
Massless Majorana-Like Charged Carriers in Two-Dimensional Semimetals
Authors: Grushevskaya Halina , Krylov George
Published: July 2016

The band structure of strongly correlated two-dimensional (2D) semimetal systems is found to be significantly affected by the spin-orbit coupling (SOC), resulting in SOC-induced Fermi surfaces. Dirac, Weyl and Majorana representations are used for the description of different semimetals, though the band structures of all these systems are very similar. We develop a theoretical approach to the band theory of two-dimensional semimetals within the Dirac–Hartree–Fock self-consistent field approximation. It reveals partially breaking symmetry of the Dirac cone affected by quasi-relativistic exchange interactions for 2D crystals with hexagonal symmetry. Fermi velocity becomes an operator within this approach, and elementary excitations have been calculated in the tight-binding approximation when taking into account the exchange interaction of π ( p z ) -electron with its three nearest π ( p z ) -electrons. These excitations are described by the massless Majorana equation instead of the Dirac one. The squared equation for this field is of the Klein–Gordon–Fock type. Such a feature of the band structure of 2D semimetals as the appearance of four pairs of nodes is shown to be described naturally within the developed formalism. Numerical simulation of band structure has been performed for the proposed 2D-model of graphene and a monolayer of Pb atoms.
A Sequence-Independent Strategy for Amplification and Characterisation of Episomal Badnavirus Sequences Reveals Three Previously Uncharacterised Yam Badnaviruses
Authors: Bömer Moritz , Turaki Aliyu , Silva Gonçalo , Kumar P. , Seal Susan
Published: July 2016

Yam (Dioscorea spp.) plants are potentially hosts to a diverse range of badnavirus species (genus Badnavirus, family Caulimoviridae), but their detection is complicated by the existence of integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes. To date, only two badnavirus genomes have been characterised, namely, Dioscorea bacilliform AL virus (DBALV) and Dioscorea bacilliform SN virus (DBSNV). A further 10 tentative species in yam have been described based on their partial reverse transcriptase (RT)-ribonuclease H (RNaseH) sequences, generically referred to here as Dioscorea bacilliform viruses (DBVs). Further characterisation of DBV species is necessary to determine which represent episomal viruses and which are only present as integrated badnavirus sequences in some yam genomes. In this study, a sequence-independent multiply-primed rolling circle amplification (RCA) method was evaluated for selective amplification of episomal DBV genomes. This resulted in the identification and characterisation of nine complete genomic sequences (7.4–7.7 kbp) of existing and previously undescribed DBV phylogenetic groups from Dioscorea alata and Dioscorea rotundata accessions. These new yam badnavirus genomes expand our understanding of the diversity and genomic organisation of DBVs, and assist the development of improved diagnostic tools. Our findings also suggest that mixed badnavirus infections occur relatively often in West African yam germplasm.
A Truncated Nef Peptide from SIVcpz Inhibits the Production of HIV-1 Infectious Progeny
Authors: Sabino Cunha Marcela , Lima Sampaio Thatiane , Peterlin B. , Jesus da Costa Luciana
Published: July 2016

Nef proteins from all primate Lentiviruses, including the simian immunodeficiency virus of chimpanzees (SIVcpz), increase viral progeny infectivity. However, the function of Nef involved with the increase in viral infectivity is still not completely understood. Nonetheless, until now, studies investigating the functions of Nef from SIVcpz have been conducted in the context of the HIV-1 proviruses. In an attempt to investigate the role played by Nef during the replication cycle of an SIVcpz, a Nef-defective derivative was obtained from the SIVcpzWTGab2 clone by introducing a frame shift mutation at a unique restriction site within the nef sequence. This nef-deleted clone expresses an N-terminal 74-amino acid truncated peptide of Nef and was named SIVcpz-tNef. We found that the SIVcpz-tNef does not behave as a classic nef-deleted HIV-1 or simian immunodeficiency virus of macaques SIVmac. Markedly, SIVcpz-tNef progeny from both Hek-293T and Molt producer cells were completely non-infectious. Moreover, the loss in infectivity of SIVcpz-tNef correlated with the inhibition of Gag and GagPol processing. A marked accumulation of Gag and very low levels of reverse transcriptase were detected in viral lysates. Furthermore, these observations were reproduced once the tNef peptide was expressed in trans both in SIVcpzΔNef and HIV-1WT expressing cells, demonstrating that the truncated peptide is a dominant negative for viral processing and infectivity for both SIVcpz and HIV-1. We demonstrated that the truncated Nef peptide binds to GagPol outside the protease region and by doing so probably blocks processing of both GagPol and Gag precursors at a very early stage. This study demonstrates for the first time that naturally-occurring Nef peptides can potently block lentiviral processing and infectivity.

Grey areas for the self-sufficiency of young people. The inclusion of family solidarity in the funds for supporting young people

How are public and family solidarity expressed in concrete terms in the financial assistance schemes for vulnerable young people ? For those directly involved with public solidarity who are tasked with implementing the social policy for young people, this question relates to the extent and limits of family solidarity, i. e. of the support the young person may reasonably expect from their parent in varying social and economic configurations. An ethnographic study into two departmental funds for aid for young people reveals, firstly, the implicit familialisation of integration aid, taking the family rather than the individual as the basic unit of intervention and, moreover, the challenges encountered by those directly involved in this scheme when assessing self-sufficiency of the individual at stage of life characterised by fluctuating and ambiguous situations.

Les nouvelles retraitées bénéficiaires de l’AVPF : typologie des profils

Parmi les femmes parties à la retraite en 2005, 37 % ont validé au moins un trimestre au titre de l’assurance vieillesse des parents au foyer (AVPF). Ces femmes sont généralement mères de familles nombreuses avec une courte carrière professionnelle. L’élargissement de son champ en lien avec la politique familiale a permis au dispositif de se développer au sein des nouvelles générations de retraitées : la moitié des femmes ayant pris leur retraite en 2013 en bénéficient. Ainsi, aujourd’hui, les bénéficiaires forment un groupe plus hétérogène. Une classification non hiérarchique a été réalisée pour caractériser ces femmes parmi les nouvelles retraitées 2013. Trois profils type, représentant respectivement 26 %, 36 % et 38 % des bénéficiaires, se dégagent. Le premier profil concerne des mères d’un ou deux enfants ayant eu des carrières presque complètes ; elles partent à la retraite relativement tôt avec une pension plutôt élevée. À l’inverse, le deuxième profil rassemble des mères de familles nombreuses, assez éloignées du marché du travail ; elles bénéficient plus tardivement d’une faible pension de retraite. Le dernier profil, intermédiaire, est celui des mères de deux ou trois enfants, ayant connu des aléas de carrière importants ; même si certaines partent tôt à la retraite, le montant de la pension reste modeste.
ROLE OF COLLABORATION IN INNOVATION SUCCESS: DIFFERENCES FOR LARGE AND SMALL BUSINESSES
Authors: GONZÁLEZ-BENITO Óscar , MUÑOZ-GALLEGO Pablo A. , GARCÍA-ZAMORA Evelyn
Published: July 2016

This article analyses the role of collaboration in the contribution of innovation to business performance. Moreover, the analysis considers business size as a key control variable to understand the moderating role of collaboration in innovation success. A survey administered to Spanish firms from industrial, building, agriculture, and trade-service sectors measured two levels of innovation, incremental and radical, and two dimensions of collaboration, channel and consulting advice. The findings show that the probability of success increases when firms use collaboration to support innovation efforts. In addition, small businesses take more advantage of channel collaboration, whereas large businesses rely more on consulting advice-based collaboration. These findings suggest that the convenience of different collaboration approaches depend on business size. Also small and large firms differ on the way they might get additional advantages from alternative ways of collaboration. Therefore, the main contribution is the understanding of how innovation success depends on the interaction between the collaboration approach and business size.
OUTPUT-ONLY MODAL IDENTIFICATION OF TENSEGRITY STRUCTURES
Authors: Attig Miniar , Abdelghani Maher , Kahla Nabil ben
Published: July 2016

Tensegrity systems are a special class of spatial reticulated structures that are composed of struts in compression and cables in tension. In this paper, the performance of stochastic subspace algorithms for modal identification of complex tensegrity systems is investigated. A sub-class algorithm of the Stochastic Subspace Identification family: the Balanced Realization Algorithm is investigated for modal identification of a tripod simplex structure and a Geiger dome. The presented algorithm is combined with a stabilization diagram with combined criteria (frequency, damping and mode shapes). It is shown that although the studied structures present closely spaced modes, the Balanced Realization Algorithm performs well and guarantees separation between closely-spaced natural frequencies. Modal identification results are validated through comparisons of the correlations (empirical vs. model based) showing effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

Published: July 2016

This manuscript represents investigation of six different clay mixtures under variable drying conditions, namely: bright yellow clay (typical for Lithuania), brown clay (Lithuania Sergėnai district), mixture of different clays, white Spanish clay, clay mass which is resistant for thermal coldness (with synthetic cardigan) and Lithuanian coarse clay with granite additives. Drying process was provided imitating natural drying process and fast drying in drying oven at 110 C°. The main idea of this study – imitate clay and clay-straw buildings drying process and to determine which of used clay types had smallest volumetric and linear deformations. Volumetric and linear deformations for clay-straw buildings is one of the most important factors evaluating cracking in this type of buildings. To reach this purpose six tiles of different clay types were used. Before drying stage water content, plasticity, and liquid limits index, respectively was determined for all types of clay. All clay tiles volumetric and linear deformations before and after drying process were measured with specialized view analysis program in order not to damage samples’ form. According to the obtained results a clay type whith the smallest deforamations (volumetric and linear) was found. With the smallest volumetric and linear deformations clay-straw building is not only environmental friendly, sustainable and green, but it does not require a lot of maintenance during building life time.

Published: July 2016

Lithuania, as many other EU countries, encounters key challenges in three energy sector fields: energy independence, energy sector competitiveness and sustainable energy sector development. Such situation is determined by historical and political conditions, as well as by limited internal energy resources. In such context an importance of energy consumption efficiency pursuing country energy sector sustainability is highlighted. By implementing the long-term goals and tasks a country may seek to increase the efficiency of energy production, distribution and consumption, as well as to increase energy production from renewable and waste energy sources. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the efficiency of energy consumption, the factors influencing energy sector competitiveness and sustainability, and to assess the development soundness of the use of renewable energy sources in Lithuania. The paper discusses the main EU legal documents and their provisions regulating energy sector, analyze energy production and consumption efficiency data in Lithuania and reveal the economic effect of the use of renewable energy sources in Lithuania.
An Empirical Competence-Capability Model of Supply Chain Innovation
Authors: Mandal Santanu
Published: July 2016

Supply chain innovation has become the new pre-requisite for the survival of firms in developing capabilities and strategies for sustaining their operations and performance in the market. This study investigates the influence of supply and demand competence on supply chain innovation and its influence on a firm’s operational and relational performance. While the former competence refers to production and supply management related activities, the latter refers to distribution and demand management related activities. The current investigation further explores how well supply chain management processes are internally executed by the firm’s employees i.e. process compliance is observed as an enabler (moderator) on the relationship between supply chain competences and supply chain innovation. Further the model also explores the moderating influence of environmental uncertainty on the linkage between supply chain innovation and firm performance. The model is empirically validated based on perceptual data collected from 166 supply chain professionals through web based survey. Implications for both managers as well as practitioners are also provided.

The purpose of this literature review is to provide a better understanding of the antecedents of organisational creativity with a multi-level approach. Organisational creativity is a sum total of the creativity accounted for by the individual employees of the organisation, the cumulative creativity of a team or group and creativity arising out of different structural components of an organisation. Some of the antecedents identified from the literature include personality, intrinsic motivation, group cohesion, social inhibition, cognitive interference, leader member exchange, organisational culture and climate, amongst others at individual, group and organisational level. Based on the literature review, suggestions for future research and research propositions have been proposed.
THE EFFECTS OF CRACKING ON THE SURFACE POTENTIAL OF ICY GRAINS IN SATURN’S E-RING: LABORATORY STUDIES
Authors: Bu Caixia , Bahr David A. , Dukes Catherine A. , Baragiola Raúl A.
Published: July 2016

Within Saturn's E-ring, dust grains are coated by water vapor co-released with ice grains from the geyser-like eruptions of Enceladus. These ice-coated grains have intrinsic surface potential and interact synergistically with the ions and electrons of Saturn's magnetospheric plasmas. We perform laboratory experiments to investigate the effects of water-ice growth on the surface potential, using amorphous solid water (ASW) films. We estimate the growth of the surface potential to be ∼−2.5 mV (Earth) yr−1 and −112 mV yr−1 for E-ring grains at ∼4.5R
s and 3.95R
s outside Enceladus’s plume, respectively. In addition, our measurements show that the linear relationship between the surface potential and the film thickness, as described in previous studies, has an upper limit, where the film spontaneously cracks above a porosity-dependent critical thickness. Heating of the cracked films with (and without) deposited charge shows that significant positive (and negative) surface potentials are retained at temperatures above 110 K, contrary to the minimal values (roughly zero) for thin, transparent ASW films. The significant surface potentials observed on micron-scale cracked ice films after thermal cycling, −(5–20) V, are consistent with Cassini measurements, which indicate a negative charge of up to −5 V for E-ring dust particles at ∼5R
s. Therefore, the native grain surface potential resulting from water-vapor coating must be included in modeling studies of interactions between E-ring icy surfaces and Saturn's magnetospheric plasma.
TOWARD AN UNDERSTANDING OF GRB PROMPT EMISSION MECHANISM. I. THE ORIGIN OF SPECTRAL LAGS
Authors: Uhm Z. Lucas , Zhang Bing
Published: July 2016

Despite decades of investigations, the physical mechanism that powers the bright prompt γ-ray emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still not identified. One important observational clue that still has not been properly interpreted is the existence of time lags of broad light curve pulses in different energy bands, referred to as “spectral lags.” Here, we show that the traditional view invoking the high-latitude emission “curvature effect” of a relativistic jet cannot account for spectral lags. Rather, the observed spectral lags demand the sweep of a spectral peak across the observing energy band in a specific manner. The duration of the broad pulses and inferred typical Lorentz factor of GRBs require that the emission region be in an optically thin emission region far from the GRB central engine. We construct a simple physical model invoking synchrotron radiation from a rapidly expanding outflow. We show that the observed spectral lags appear naturally in our model light curves given that (1) the gamma-ray photon spectrum is curved (as observed), (2) the magnetic field strength in the emitting region decreases with radius as the region expands in space, and (3) the emission region itself undergoes rapid bulk acceleration as the prompt γ-rays are produced. These requirements are consistent with a Poynting-flux-dominated jet abruptly dissipating magnetic energy at a large distance from the engine.

Faire du Np ou l'art du plagiat
Authors: Noailly Michèle
Published: July 2016

La construction faire + du Np est un trait original de la syntaxe du français. Elle permet de décrire des comportements qui relèvent pour la plupart du plagiat : quand on fait du Proust , on essaie d'imiter la manière d'écrire de Proust, et quand on fait du Valls , on reproduit le mode d'action gouvernementale de Manuel Valls. En faisant précéder un Np de personne connue d'un déterminant partitif, on ne vise plus l'individu en tant que tel, mais, de façon élargie, l'action à laquelle se rattache sa notoriété. Le faire que l'on a dans cette configuration est proche de celui de faire l'aimable , faire le malin . Un déterminant possessif est possible dans les deux cas : faire son malin , faire son Obama . Dès lors, quelle différence d'interprétation, entre faire du Obama et faire son Obama  ? Dans le premier cas, on vise l'action politique d'Obama et, dans le second, plutôt ses manières d'être, son caractère. Mais la différence peut parfois être plus subtile : ainsi, pour un acteur, faire du Luchini ou faire son Luchini n'est-ce pas presque la même chose ?
Le nom propre métonymique : massif et/ou comptable ? Le cas du nom propre Zlatan en français et en suédois

L'intérêt se portera sur les constructions faire du Hollande / Sarkozy / Zlatan , etc. en français et göra en Zlatan / Bergman / Obama / Foppa , etc. (‘faire un Zlatan / Bergman / …’) en suédois. L'objet direct du verbe faire est un SN partitif dont la tête est un nom propre (Np), alors que l'objet de göra en suédois est un Np introduit par l'article indéfini au singulier. Dans les deux cas, le Np relève de la métonymie qualitative, dénotant un acte, un comportement ou une activité. On examinera si le fait que le Np se construise comme un N comptable en suédois et comme un massif en français influe sur son usage et son interprétation. La pluralisation et le genre du Np métonymique suédois seront également examinés.

CICE et Pacte de responsabilité : une évaluation selon la position dans le cycle
Authors: Ducoudré Bruno , Heyer Éric , Plane Mathieu
Published: July 2016

À la suite de la remise du Rapport Gallois fin 2012, pour faire face au chômage de masse, le gouvernement français a fait le choix de privilégier une politique d’offre, concrétisée par la mise en place du CICE et du Pacte de responsabilité. À partir du modèle macroéconomique de l’OFCE pour l’économie française e-mod.fr , nous évaluons les effets de ces mesures sur l’activité économique et l’emploi à l’horizon 2018, en prenant en compte la position dans le cycle de l’économie française – l’effet du chômage sur le taux de croissance des salaires est modélisé en fonction de la position dans le cycle – et en étudiant la sensibilité des résultats à la valeur de l’élasticité de substitution macroéconomique entre le capital et le travail considérée. Le Pacte et le CICE permettraient, hors effet du financement, de créer ou sauvegarder 530 000 emplois à l’horizon 2018 et auraient un effet positif sur l’activité économique (+1,2 point de PIB). Après prise en compte des effets du financement, les gains sur le PIB seraient nuls et le nombre d’emplois créés ou sauvegardés serait de l’ordre de 290 000, avec une fourchette allant de 190 000 à près de 420 000 selon la position dans le cycle et l’élasticité de substitution capital/travail.

Dans cet article, nous mesurons l’effet de l’intégration financière sur les gains liés à la diversification internationale des portefeuilles. Notre analyse des gains porte sur neuf marchés financiers, qui représentent plus de 70 % de la capitalisation boursière mondiale. Deux principaux résultats émergent de notre analyse. D’une part, l’extension asymétrique du modèle GARCH multivarié, avec corrélation conditionnelle dynamique, confirme que les gains sont statistiquement et économiquement significatifs pour tous les pays de l’échantillon, qu’ils varient significativement dans le temps et l’espace, et en fonction des marchés. D’autre part, l’accroissement de la volatilité sur les marchés s’est traduit, surtout depuis la crise des subprime , par une baisse des gains liés à la diversification internationale des portefeuilles. Ceci expliquerait la préférence pour les actifs domestiques plutôt qu’étrangers.

The Dialogic Body and the Humanist Woman in the Self-Portraiture of Catherine des Roches
Authors: Yandell Cathy
Published: July 2016

In her “Dialogue de Sincero et de Charite”, Catherine des Roches creates an equally intelligent and lettered character in Charite, who embodies both erudition and erotic desire. A reading of the “corporal [af]filiation” between mother and daughter indeed reveals the symbiotic attachment of mother and daughter in both literary and social spheres. Yet a more refined version of Catherine’s self-fashioning can be glimpsed in her Missives. Through a juxtaposition of these two characters, to varying degrees historical and fictional, the image of a dialogical body emerges in the Œuvres. What might be described as a hybrid self-portrait thus exposes a distinct vision that the epithet of “tresvertueuse et docte fille” obscures: in Charite, who both reflects and extends the first-person narrator of the poems and letters, Catherine des Roches inscribes a dialogic body that is at once learned and sensuous, resistant and engaged―in short, a new model for the humanist woman.
The Martyr Queen
Authors: Winn Colette H.
Published: July 2016

Entre l’annonce de sa condamnation à mort le 19 novembre 1586 et son exécution le 8 février 1587, Mary Stuart a rédigé une dizaine de lettres à l’insu de ses gardes dans la prison de Fotheringhay. Pour quelles raisons a-t-elle consacré les dernières heures de sa vie à la rédaction de ces lettres ? Cette étude suggère que l’écriture épistolaire, dans laquelle nous reconnaissons ses savoirs humanistes, lui a fourni le moyen de brosser un portrait favorable d’elle-même et d’empêcher de la sorte ses ennemis de souiller sa mémoire. Comme nous ne savons pas si ces lettres sont parvenues aux personnes à qui elles étaient adressées, il est difficile de dire au juste l’impact qu’elles ont pu avoir sur l’image de la reine martyre qui est restée de Marie Stuart. C’est en effet cette image qui a séduit l’imagination des Catholiques et des écrivains de la fin du seizième siècle et qui, par leur intermédiaire, est parvenue jusqu’à nous.
Inhabiting Flower Worlds: The Botanical Art of Madeleine Françoise Basseporte
Authors: Meeker Natania , Szabari Antónia
Published: July 2016

In “Inhabiting Flower Worlds”, Meeker and Szabari examine the production and reception of botanical illustrations by Madeleine Françoise Basseporte (1701-1780). The article presents the relationship between image and artist as a form of visibility-in-invisibility – a chiasmic reversal of the invisibility-in-visibility of plants, long thought to conceal a hidden life. Basseporte’s oeuvre attests both to the marginalization of woman illustrators typical of the period and to the vivacity of a woman artist who achieved relative fame under unfavorable conditions.
« Peinte par elle-même? »
Authors: Hyde Melissa
Published: July 2016

This essay considers what portraits and self-portraits of several women artists can tell us about problems of authorship and artistic identity as well as relationships between female students and their teachers often represented on the paintings. These relationships, though not usually defined by the Oedipal dramas that feature so prominently in narratives of filiation about male artists, are no less complex, and in many cases are fraught with their own tensions and conflicts.
“Portrait of the Artist at Work”
Authors: Sofio Séverine
Published: July 2016

In this text, I study the practice of painted self-portraiture in late eighteenth-century France, with a focus on the social and material conditions that could lead artists to depict themselves. Then, I examine self-portraiture as practised by women in the context of the unprecedented process of feminisation the Parisian art world was then undergoing – one of the consequences of which was, precisely, the sudden vogue for images of women at their easels.
Modélisation systémique du secteur Lansad : pour une approche durable
Authors: Mompean Annick Rivens
Published: July 2016

On constate une recrudescence du recours à l’acronyme « Lansad » (langues pour les spécialistes d’autres disciplines), avec le montage de structures de ce type dans le paysage universitaire français. La référence croissante à cette appellation qui date pourtant de plus de 30 ans est-elle un signe de vitalité, d’une évolution des représentations par rapport à ce secteur si longtemps délaissé ? La structuration du secteur Lansad passe par une identification des éléments clés qui doivent être pris en compte pour sa définition. Nous proposons donc le recours à la modélisation comme un outil épistémologique permettant de construire par la recherche en didactique des langues ce secteur formatif et comme un outil conceptuel qui nous aide à penser et à définir le domaine de façon durable et stabilisée.
O currículo e a produção de sujeitos afrodescendentes em uma escola pública estadual de Campo Grande (MS) com alto IDEB
Authors: Backes José Licínio
Published: July 2016

O artigo objetiva refletir sobre o processo de construção dos sujeitos afrodescendentes por meio do currículo escolar. O currículo é visto como uma arena de significados que, além de lidar com conteúdos, produz sujeitos, identidades e diferenças. O artigo traz a análise, com base nos estudos étnico-raciais, de entrevistas realizadas com seis professores de uma escola pública estadual do Município de Campo Grande (MS) com alto IDEB, nos anos finais do ensino fundamental, em 2011. Concluímos que os professores entrevistados, por serem um produto da colonialidade, ainda veem a diferença como uma presença na escola a ser ignorada em nome da igualdade e tendem a não perceber relações racistas. Entretanto, a colonialidade está sendo questionada pela luta dos movimentos sociais, notadamente pelo movimento negro. Nas entrevistas com os professores, também observamos alguns sinais de descolonização quando, por exemplo, um professor, mesmo afirmando que não vê racismo, afirma que ensina que não se podem contar piadas que desqualificam alguma raça. Da mesma forma, os professores, quando faziam referência à existência da Lei 10.639/2003, sempre era no sentido de que ela contribui para diminuir o racismo na escola.
Tensões em Ventos do Apocalipse e em Fogo Morto
Authors: Rabello Rosana Baú
Published: July 2016

As tensões dos momentos históricos de transformação e guerra envolvem os personagens dos romances Ventos do Apocalipse, de Paulina Chiziane (1999), e Fogo Morto, de José Lins do Rego (1990), transformando suas vidas e perspectivas em processos de movimento ou estaticidade dos personagens. Salientamos a importância da relação estreita entre história e literatura, não porque esta apenas realize o registro dos fatos e contextos, mas porque apresenta uma conjuntura singular das formas ideológicas, dos acirramentos das tensões, contradições e conflitos sociais, assim como permite exercitar um olhar que põe em relevo o senso de historicidade.
‘Já dancei congadas, folias e carnavais’: a festa na condição de resíduo e ato territorial no bairro patrimônio em Uberlândia-MG
Authors: Santos Rosselvelt José , Souza Júnior Carlos Roberto Bernardes de
Published: July 2016

Localizado no setor sul de Uberlândia-MG, o bairro Patrimônio revela especificidades socioterritoriais importantes dos negros da cidade. Fundado no final do século XIX, sua história é marcada pelas dificuldades enfrentadas pelos habitantes, tanto pela falta de equipamentos urbanos quanto pelo preconceito. Entre os modos de viver no/do lugar, destacam-se as festividades. No entremear de Folias de Reis, Carnavais e Ternos de Moçambique (Congadas), construíram lógicas pautadas nas relações de doação e troca com a vizinhança, (re)afirmando pactos sociais para a continuidade da vida. Na instalação de novos nexos, voltados para a produção de espaços revalorizados para as classes médias, são fabricadas tensões territoriais acerca de seus diferentes usos e apropriações. Os moradores do lugar reúnem alguns de seus resíduos, tendo em vista a ameaça de destituição dos seus territórios. A corporificação dessas festividades se manifesta na condição de atos territoriais, compreendidos como ações, sazonais ou não, que visam ao (re)estabelecimento das territorialidades, sejam essas oníricas ou concretas. As festas reinventadas reafirmam a existência dos sujeitos e permitem que se reinventem para darem continuidade a seu viver no/do lugar, nos contextos de mudança em que estão inseridos.
Algo de novo no front: um diálogo entre literatura e psicologia
Authors: Gonçalves Davi Silva , Santos Luísa Gonçalves
Published: July 2016

O contexto geral deste artigo concerne ao período histórico da primeira e da segunda grande guerra, tendo em vista os impactos destas dentro dos momentos nos quais se inseriam e suas consequências posteriores na experiência daqueles cujas vidas sofreriam interferência (direta ou indireta) daquilo que se passou dentro e fora dos campos de batalha. É neste sentido que propomos um paralelo entre o romance Nada de Novo no Front (Remarque, 2004) e talvez um dos diários que acabou por se tornar o mais mundialmente conhecido: O Diário de Anne Frank (Frank, 2007). É justamente a maneira tal qual esta confiança no corpo narrativo, nas palavras, na configuração textual acaba por resultar na própria reinserção, reconfiguração e ressignificação tanto de Anne Frank quanto de Erich Remarque enquanto sujeitos – dentro do contexto das duas guerras mundiais – que nossa análise identifica e discute.

Historiese teologie in ŉ veranderende konteks
Authors: Dreyer Wim A.
Published: July 2016

In this contribution, the author reflects on historical theology as theological discipline. After a short introduction to the precarious situation of church history as a theological discipline in South Africa and the question of faith and history, the contribution presents an analysis of Gerhard Ebeling’s 1947 publication on church history in which he proposed that church history should be understood as a history of Biblical interpretation. Based on some of the principles Ebeling delineated, the author proposes that historical theology could be applied to five areas of research: prolegomena, history of the church, history of missions, history of theology and church polity. The point is made that historical theology, when properly structured and presented, could play a major role in enriching the theological and ecclesial conversation and in assisting the church in the process of reformation and transformation.Keywords: Gerhard Ebeling; Hermeneutics; Church History
Combining Ricoeur and Bultmann on myth and demythologising
Authors: Malan Gert
Published: July 2016

A previous article investigated Ricoeur’s stance on myth and demythologising. The intersection of Ricoeur and Bultmann’s work in this field was noted and a future comparison was envisaged with a view to a possible merger. This study is a follow-up and proposes a way in which Ricoeur and Bultmann’s views on myth and demythologisation can be merged in order to gain a broader approach to the understanding of myth and the concept of demythologising. As Ricoeur’s understanding of myth was influenced by literary criticism, Bultmann’s definition of myth is viewed through the lens of literary criticism, before turning to a comparison with Ricoeur’s views. A comparison of their ideas on demythologisation follows. Sociology of knowledge forms the last lens through which a possible merger of their approaches is contemplated.Keywords: myth; demythologisation; Ricoeur; Bultmann; simbolic universe
