Self-Organization at Aqueous Colloid-Membrane Interfaces and an Optical Method to Measure the Kinetics of Exclusion Zone Formation
Authors: Jabs Harry , Rubik Beverly
Published: November 2014

Exclusion zone (EZ) formation at water-membrane interfaces was studied via bright- and dark-field microscopy. Various aqueous colloids including suspensions of charged microspheres, silicon dioxide particles, and raw whole milk were studied with Nafion® hydrophilic membranes. Interfacial formations observed included EZs and more complex patterns including striations, double layers, banding, dendritic aggregates of particles, and double-stranded structures resembling Birkeland current filaments in cold plasmas. A complex three-dimensional dynamic structure and continuous flow patterns persist in and around EZs, maintaining movement of the colloidal particles even after EZs are fully formed, for which a schematic is proposed. Since radiant energy is critical for EZ formation, we hypothesize that these interfacial phenomena are non-equilibrium dissipative structures that self-organize and self-maintain due to ongoing dynamic processes that may involve hydrodynamic interactions. Another experimental approach undertaken involved the construction of a microscope flow cell to measure the kinetics of EZ formation using sequential microphotography analyzed with macro-programmed ImageJ software to investigate effects of different types of conditioned water. No significant difference was found between spring water and the same water treated by a magnetic vortexer. A significant difference was found for municipal tap water compared to electrolyzed alkaline tap water from the same source.
Using Multilevel Analysis to Examine the Relationship between Upper Secondary Students Internet Safety Awareness, Social Background and Academic Aspirations
Authors: Hatlevik Ove , Tømte Karoline
Published: November 2014

Since 2009, most Norwegian students in upper secondary have had access to their own personal computer at school. Hence, with the increased access to technology, the importance of online connectedness has increased for adolescents’ social interaction and communication. It is, therefore, important to identify and understand the concept of Internet safety among upper secondary school students. A total of 4216 students from 238 classrooms in 23 upper secondary schools completed an Internet safety assessment. The aim of the study was to operationalize and measure Internet safety in a school context, and to further examine the factors predicting students’ Internet safety awareness and responsibility. Our analysis revealed substantial variation in Internet safety awareness between schools, classrooms and students. Overall, the findings indicate that students’ social backgrounds are determining for their development and understanding of Internet safety awareness.
Surface Water Quality Monitoring Site Optimization for Poyang Lake, the Largest Freshwater Lake in China
Authors: Wang Hua , Wu Mengan , Deng Yanqing , Tang Chunyan , Yang Rui
Published: November 2014

In this paper, we propose a coupled method to optimize the surface water quality monitoring sites for a huge freshwater lake based on field investigations, mathematical analysis, and numerical simulation tests. Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, was selected as the research area. Based on the field investigated water quality data in the 5 years from 2008 to 2012, the water quality inter-annual variation coefficients at all the present sites and the water quality correlation coefficients between adjacent sites were calculated and analyzed to present an optimization scheme. A 2-D unsteady water quality model was established to get the corresponding water quality data at the optimized monitoring sites, which were needed for the rationality test on the optimized monitoring network. We found that: (1) the water quality of Piaoshan (No. 10) fluctuated most distinguishably and the inter-annual variation coefficient of NH3-N and TP could reach 99.77% and 73.92%, respectively. The four studied indexes were all closely related at Piaoshan (No. 10) and Tangyin (No. 11), and the correlation coefficients of COD and NH3-N could reach 0.91 and 0.94 separately. (2) It was suggested that the present site No. 10 be removed to avoid repeatability, and it was suggested that the three sites of Changling, Huzhong, and Nanjiang be added to improve the representativeness of the monitoring sites. (3) According to the rationality analysis, the 21 optimized water quality monitoring sites could scientifically replace the primary network, and the new monitoring network could better reflect the water quality of the whole lake.
Rapid, Time-Division Multiplexed, Direct Absorption- and Wavelength Modulation-Spectroscopy
Authors: Klein Alexander , Witzel Oliver , Ebert Volker
Published: November 2014

We present a tunable diode laser spectrometer with a novel, rapid time multiplexed direct absorption- and wavelength modulation-spectroscopy operation mode. The new technique allows enhancing the precision and dynamic range of a tunable diode laser absorption spectrometer without sacrificing accuracy. The spectroscopic technique combines the benefits of absolute concentration measurements using calibration-free direct tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (dTDLAS) with the enhanced noise rejection of wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS). In this work we demonstrate for the first time a 125 Hz time division multiplexed (TDM-dTDLAS-WMS) spectroscopic scheme by alternating the modulation of a DFB-laser between a triangle-ramp (dTDLAS) and an additional 20 kHz sinusoidal modulation (WMS). The absolute concentration measurement via the dTDLAS-technique allows one to simultaneously calibrate the normalized 2f/1f-signal of the WMS-technique. A dTDLAS/WMS-spectrometer at 1.37 µm for H2O detection was built for experimental validation of the multiplexing scheme over a concentration range from 50 to 3000 ppmV (0.1 MPa, 293 K). A precision of 190 ppbV was achieved with an absorption length of 12.7 cm and an averaging time of two seconds. Our results show a five-fold improvement in precision over the entire concentration range and a significantly decreased averaging time of the spectrometer.
Investigation into Alternative Sample Preparation Techniques for the Determination of Heavy Metals in Stationary Source Emission Samples Collected on Quartz Filters
Authors: Goddard Sharon , Brown Richard
Published: November 2014

Monitoring stationary source emissions for heavy metals generally requires the use of quartz filters to collect samples because of the high temperature and high moisture sampling environment. The documentary standard method sample preparation technique in Europe, EN 14385, uses digestion in hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid (HF/HNO3) followed by complexing with boric acid (H3BO3) prior to analysis. However, the use of this method presents a number of problems, including significant instrumental drift during analysis caused by the matrix components, often leading to instrument breakdown and downtime for repairs, as well as posing significant health and safety risks. The aim of this work was to develop an alternative sample preparation technique for emissions samples on quartz filters. The alternative techniques considered were: (i) acid digestion in a fluoroboric acid (HBF4) and HNO3 mixture and (ii) acid extraction in an aqua regia (AR) mixture (HCl and HNO3). Assessment of the effectiveness of these options included determination of interferences and signal drift, as well as validating the different methods by measurement of matrix certified reference materials (CRMs), and comparing the results obtained from real test samples and sample blanks to determine limits of detection. The results showed that the HBF4/HNO3 mixture provides the most viable alternative to the documentary standard preparation technique.
Magnetic Resonance Sensors
Authors: Morris Robert , Newton Michael
Published: November 2014

Magnetic Resonance finds countless applications, from spectroscopy to imaging, routinely in almost all research and medical institutions across the globe. It is also becoming more frequently used for specific applications in which the whole instrument and system is designed for a dedicated application. With beginnings in borehole logging for the petro-chemical industry Magnetic Resonance sensors have been applied to fields as varied as online process monitoring for food manufacture and medical point of care diagnostics. This great diversity is seeing exciting developments in magnetic resonance sensing technology published in application specific journals where they are often not seen by the wider sensor community. It is clear that there is enormous interest in magnetic resonance sensors which represents a significant growth area. The aim of this special edition of Sensors was to address the wide distribution of relevant articles by providing a forum to disseminate cutting edge research in this field in a single open source publication.[...]
Un exemple de bourg rural : Arbois en Comté de Bourgogne [Étude historique et archéologique]
Authors: Bonnet Pascale
Published: November 2014

Un exemple de bourg rural : Arbois en Comté de Bourgogne.

Situé au pied du premier plateau du Jura, Arbois fait partie d'un type de peuplement original : le bourg rural créé par un seigneur, sur un terroir occupé et exploité. Un acte de donation de 966 mentionne une pièce de vigne « en Corcelles », situé à proximité d'Arbois. Mais ce n'est qu'en 1053 que par un acte de fondation de maladrerie on découvre Arbois avec des foires et des marchés, un prieur, des bourgeois et des manants. Possessions directes des comtes de Bourgogne, créé par ces seigneurs, le bourg apparaît et se développe tout au long des XIe et XIIe siècles. Les comtes vont pourvoir aux besoins économiques et sociaux du bourg en mettant en place des nouvelles structures, à proximité des habitats existants. Au XIIe siècle, le château où séjourne à plusieurs reprises l'empereur Frédéric Barberousse, des moulins témoins de l'importance de la population, une commanderie de l'Ordre de Saint-Jean. Au XIIIe siècle, le bourg est entouré d'une enceinte en pierre, de maisons-fortes urbaines qui commandent les points faibles de la fortification, et d'un important équipement économique, halles, boucheries, pressoirs, caves. Arbois illustre remarquablement ce processus de création et d'organisation de l'espace urbain au profit de son économie marchande.
Découverte de l'effigie de l'abbé Grégoire créateur du cloître de Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa
Authors: Cazes Daniel , Durliat Marcel
Published: November 2014

The discovery of the effigy of Abbot Gregory, builder of the cloister of Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa.

In 1868, Louis de Bonnefoy, in his work Épigraphie roussillonnaise, described a sculpture from the cloister of Saint- Michel-de-Cuxa that represented the abbot Gregory († 1146). A sketch that Bonnefoy had made of the sculpture was rediscovered only in this Century and published in 1952. This sketch led to the identification of the sculpted plaque, untraced since 1868, among the objects presented at the Salon des Antiquaires de Toulouse in November of 1986. For stylisticreasons, the plaque may be dated ca. 1150 and attributed to the atelier responsible for the tribune sculpture of Cuxa ; it was probably conceived as a memorial to Abbot Gregory, who had the cloister built. The plaque, which is of great historical importance, was acquired by the Conseil général des Pyrénées-Orientales, and is supposed to be reinstalled in its place of origin.
Pénélope, la meilleure des Achéennes
Authors: Dingremont François
Published: November 2014

Cet article a comme point de départ un constat unanimement partagé par les commentateurs de l’Odyssée, à savoir la complexité de la figure de Pénélope. Nous essaierons de voir sur quoi repose cette complexité. S’agit-il d’un statut social ou narratif faisant d’elle la victime de tiraillements ou d’une astuce utilisée par le poète pour maîtriser la relation avec son auditoire ? L’apparente opacité de Pénélope est pour nous avant tout l’expression d’un jeu poétique, elle permet à l’aède de garder une parfaite maîtrise sur le fi l de l’intrigue. Plus le jeu de la reine paraîtra insaisissable, plus l’intrigue sera subtile. Cette course vers une construction toujours plus astucieuse de la trame narrative pourrait donner une indication quant aux conditions dans lesquelles a lieu la performance épique. La toujours plus grande insaisissabilité de la figure de Pénélope pourrait être, en effet, le résultat de la compétition entre les aèdes, car surenchérir sur l’opacité du jeu de la reine peut apparaître comme le meilleur moyen pour le poète de se distinguer de ses concurrents en abondant dans la difficulté. La question sera donc de savoir si Pénélope ne serait pas un des enjeux du jeu poétique.
Urnes étrusques avec représentation d’Ulysse et les Sirènes
Authors: Cousin Catherine
Published: November 2014

Among the themes figured on the Etruscan urns, the adventure of Ulysses and Sirens holds an important place, particularly in Volterra. Yet only the Sirens are well attested in Greece, and the Odyssean episode is rarely figured. We have to wait until the third quarter of the fourth century BC, to find it represented in Italy, on a Paestan crater (Berlin 4532), and especially on the Hellenistic Etruscan urns which constitute its main medium. The basic scheme of this series (twenty-three urns in Volterra and one in Perugia) seems rather homogeneous. This paper considers whether it deviates from previous representations or whether it seems to be inspired by cartoons that might have circulated throughout the Hellenistic world, whether it is unique or whether it is found in other themes. A careful study of variations in detail within the series enables us to draw conclusions about the presence of different workshops and the evolution of the theme.
“Salire, no, discendere agli dèi”: la navigazione mitologica in Alla cieca di Claudio Magris
Authors: Prosenc Šegula Irena
Published: November 2014

L’article analyse la désagrégation de l’identité et la rupture de la voix narrative dans le roman Alla cieca (2005) de Claudio Magris. En faisant appel à la métaphore de la navigation, le narrateur triestin explore les différentes problématiques de la narration, en particulier celle autobiographique. Il réfléchit en outre sur l’identité multiple du moi moderne et sur la force destructrice de l’Histoire, dont l’oppression se perpétue à travers les siècles, même dans des époques récentes. Les nombreuses questions traitées dans le roman sont liées entre elles par la présence constante du mythe des Argonautes, qui se manifeste à travers les fréquents rappels intertextuels aux Argonautiques d’Apollonios de Rhodes et aux Argonautiques orphiques, source, cette dernière, dont le titre n’est jamais mentionné de façon explicite, contrairement au poème hellénistique. Plus marginalement, la réfl exion de Magris se porte sur Ulysse qui est mis en parallèle, en tant que fi gure de navigateur par excellence, avec Jason.
L’adamantino dono di Ermes. L’harpe di Perseo: uno strumento divino al servizio dell’eroe
Authors: Giuman Marco
Published: November 2014

Tra gli oggetti magici ottenuti da Perseo prima della sua impresa contro Medusa, lo strumento utilizzato per decollare l’orrendo mostro gorgonico occupa un posto particolare. Inizialmente marginale, al punto da non essere annoverata come un dono divino, la semplice spada eroica che caratterizza l’iconografi a del danaide nel corso dell’età arcaica si viene articolando in forme illustrative sempre più complesse – dapprima una falce, poi una singolare daga falcata – che concorrono a rimarcare in una prospettiva ctonia e magica il senso profondo della decollazione di Medusa. L’obiettivo di questo contributo è quello di seguire, per quanto possibile, il processo evolutivo che caratterizza l’arma imbracciata da Perseo, tentando di focalizzare in senso diacronico e funzionale le chiavi esegetiche che sono alla base della sua trasformazione.
Les πτερόεντα πέδιλα de Persée
Authors: Cursaru Gabriela
Published: November 2014

Perseus’ πτερόεντα πέδιλα

A close analysis of the various versions of the tales recounting the exploits of Perseus allows to distinguish the role played by its accessories, especially πτερόεντα πέδιλα, their symbolic connotations and the new light they cast upon Hermes’ πέδιλα/ σάνδαλα.

This paper aims to show that, despite the primacy of Perseus’ πτερόεντα πέδιλα in the Greek tradition, they inherit both the connotations of Hermes’ πέδιλα/ σάνδαλα

and those related to footwear of any kind (without any exclusive reference to Hermes), as they are described in the religious thought and archaic imagery : their links with places situated betwixt and between different levels of the world, particularly with the entries in the Otherworld/ Underworld.
Le trésor du dragon : pomme ou mouton ?
Authors: Petrilli Aurore
Published: November 2014

Dans les mythes, les choses inanimées sont loin de faire figure de seconds rôles. Elles sont souvent le ciment d’une histoire, le trait d’union entre les protagonistes. De natures très variées, certains objets ont pourtant des caractéristiques communes. La Grèce antique, terre pastorale, utilise volontiers des images de la vie courante empruntées à l’agriculture et à l’alimentation. Les deux objets mis en parallèle dans cet article en sont eux-mêmes issus : les pommes et les moutons (plus exactement leur toison). Paradoxalement d’un grand commun, ces agents catalyseurs du mythe recèlent pourtant des particularités et une ambiguïté intrinsèque qui commence dans leur désignation même. Le terme grec mêlon signifie à la fois pomme et mouton. À cela vient s’ajouter une symbolique tout particulière dont l’étude contribuera à mettre en évidence les facteurs de confusion entre ces pommes et ces moutons, et ce, à travers deux grands mythes grecs et les différents récits rapportés par les Anciens : le vol des pommes des Hespérides par Héraklès et la conquête de la Toison d’or par Jason.
Sous la peau de bête
Authors: Plichon Caroline
Published: November 2014

Cet article s’intéresse à la dépouille animale et à ses différentes fonctions, à la fois butin, témoignage de puissance, armure, élément de rituel ou déguisement. La peau de bête est un objet fascinant pour ce qu’il dit des liens entre monde humain et monde animal, et du rapport entre les qualités attribuées au guerrier – force, ruse, violence et sauvagerie – et celles prêtées par tout un système symbolique à l’animal. L’article s’attarde plus particulièrement sur l’interprétation à donner aux parures animales à la fois dans le chant X de l’Iliade, la Dolonie, et dans le Rhésos attribué à Euripide. De l’épopée à sa transposition dramaturgique, la parure animale, qui pouvait apparaître comme élément d’un rituel initiatique devient celui d’une mimesis, qui renvoie au rituel dramatique. Elle est en outre utilisée par le dramaturge pour questionner l’héroïsme et ses limites.
L’eroe affidato alle acque: valenze dell’arca dall’epica al mito
Authors: Sforza Ilaria
Published: November 2014

In questo articolo esaminiamo alcune occorrenze della larnax dai poemi omerici alla Biblioteca dello pseudo-Apollodoro. A partire da Simonide (543 PMG), questo contenitore appare legato al mito di Danae e Perseo abbandonati alle acque da Acrisio in una larnax. Il tentativo inutile di disfarsi dell’arca e del suo contenuto si riscontra in altri racconti, nei quali la larnax ha la funzione di nascondere e di proteggere un eroe o un dio. In conclusione, l’arca assume diversi significati nel mito greco, dove è quasi sempre legata alla sopravvivenza dell’eroe, come nel mito di Deucalione, il progenitore degli Elleni.
Tra mito e culto. Antropologia del vaso nei miti di fondazione dei culti dei Cabiri e dei Grandi Dei
Authors: Cruccas Emiliano
Published: November 2014

Entre mythe et culte. Anthropologie du vase dans les mythes de fondation des cultes des Cabires et des Grands Dieux

Le culte des Cabires et des Grands Dieux, diffusé dans tout le bassin Méditerranéen depuis l’Âge archaïque jusqu’à l’époque romaine, connut des diversifications régionales qui se déclinent à la fois dans l’organisation cultuelle et dans l’apparat mythologique propre à chaque sanctuaire. Pour ce qui est de ce dernier aspect, l’étude de quelques éléments physiques liés aux mythes de fondation des différents lieux de culte peut offrir des données intéressantes : les grands vases en métal et en terre-cuite semblent en particulier revêtir une grande importance. Leur lien avec la mythologie des Cabires et des Grands Dieux se reflète dans les sources littéraires et épigraphiques, mais est mis en évidence aussi par l’archéologie, qui semble souvent souligner le parallèle entre mythe et rite, rappelé à plusieurs reprises dans l’histoire des études sur la religion grecque. Des exemples concrets de ce cas sont offerts par les amphores des Dioscures Cabires, représentées dans quelques témoignages iconographiques liés au culte : l’hydrie de bronze d’Epitélès, qui est en relation avec la fondation des mystères des Grandes Déesses d’Andania, et le chaudron de Médée et Jason dans le rituel de la fusion des métaux à Lemnos. L’objectif de cette contribution est de mettre en évidence les lignes communes et les développements diachroniques de quelques objets du répertoire mythique du culte des Cabires dans les différents contextes géographiques de référence.
Nouvelles poétiques du corps amoureux en danse

Résumé Si la danse est « un art qui s’exerce à partir de si peu de chose : matière de soi, organisation d’une certaine relation au monde », comment alors donner corps au corps amoureux ? Comment les chorégraphes d’aujourd’hui abordent-ils cette expérience spécifique dans leur écriture, dans le travail commun avec les danseurs et à partir de quelles sources ? Quelles sont les kinésies qui fondent l’expérience amoureuse, comment y accéder, comment les mettre en scène ?
Éclipses du corps amoureux
Authors: Thiery Natacha
Published: November 2014

Résumé Quoique les rapports amoureux soient le point névralgique de La Maman et la Putain, Mes petites amoureuses et Une sale histoire , c’est la rencontre manquée entre les sexes qui s’y fait jour, tandis que la question du corps, comme celle du désir, s’y révèle problématique et paradoxale. Les corps sont occultés ou n’apparaissent que dans une intermittence, mis à distance par une parole insatiable ou un regard qui tient séparé. Le véritable corps amoureux tel que les films le dessinent est d’une part celui du cinéaste en tant que cinéphile, et d’autre part celui du spectateur.
L' idylle tragique du Laocoon
Authors: Cheval Olivier
Published: November 2014

Si le Laocoon est devenu l’emblème d’un problème majeur de l’histoire de l’esthétique, celui du partage entre les arts, l’horreur physique et morale représentée par la statuaire a aussi suscité, dès Lessing, une réflexion parallèle sur la nature pathétique de l’art grec et les limites plastiques d’une figuration de la souffrance. Cette question s’autonomise avec Schiller, puis, de Goethe à Eisenstein, c’est la composition de l’effet pathétique du groupe, pensé comme montage de corps, de gestes et de temporalités autour des notions d’impuissance et de compassion, qui devient le cœur de la description de la statuaire.
Ruines contemporaines
Authors: Somhegyi Zoltán
Published: November 2014

Au cours des dernières décennies, on a pu constater un intérêt grandissant pour les « ruines contemporaines », intérêt dont témoigne, par exemple, le succès des haikyo et des urbex . Mais qu’en est-il du statut esthétique de ces « ruines contemporaines » ? Si nous acceptons de définir les ruines non seulement par le fait qu’elles ne sont plus en usage, mais aussi par le fait qu’elles ont besoin de temps pour devenir esthétiquement intéressantes, nous ne pouvons pas appeler « ruines » ces lieux et ces bâtiments qui datent d’une période récente. Ce qui est intrigant est que, néanmoins, ces sites exercent souvent un grand pouvoir d’attraction, et que leur contemplation peut produire des impressions et des idées semblables à celles provoquées par les ruines classique.
Le genre et la mixité en formation d'éducateur(e) de jeunes enfants
Authors: Ndjapou François
Published: November 2014

Pour repérer les effets du genre et de la mixité en formation d’éducateur(e) de jeunes enfants, nous avons étudié la dynamique d’un groupe mixte d’étudiant(e)s dans le cadre d’un travail d’analyse de situations professionnelles. La centration, au départ, sur les stéréotypes de genre et sur la différence des sexes a induit des éléments de défense, de refoulement, d’exclusion, de séduction et de transgression. Sous les effets de l’expérience et de la culture professionnelle, il s’opère progressivement une évolution des représentations, passant du « sexe » comme différence au « sexe » comme diversité. Au cours du travail entre les étudiantes et les étudiants, la maturation de la dynamique de groupe les conduit à s’approprier peu à peu les enjeux professionnels en créant de nouvelles solidarités, de nouveaux liens, de nouvelles ressources collectives et professionnelles en faveur des actions auprès des jeunes enfants et des familles.
Homme et sage-femme : un choix, une pratique, une construction identitaire
Authors: Cottard Laura
Published: November 2014

Dans cet article, nous proposons une approche clinique psychosociologique de la construction identitaire des hommes sages-femmes. La position d’homme dans un « métier de femme » engendre une conflictualité sociale et psychique à chaque fois singulière parce qu’elle s’inscrit dans une histoire personnelle, familiale et sociale. L’orientation des hommes sages-femmes, souvent décrite comme relevant du « hasard », est réexaminée à l’aune de leur histoire. Chez certains d’entre eux, la recherche permet de mettre à jour l’existence d’une forme de souplesse au niveau des identités sexuées, d’identifications croisées entre féminin et masculin. Les processus à l’œuvre dans la rencontre avec le métier sont explorés à travers le cas d’un jeune homme qui affirme, lui aussi, être devenu sage-femme « par hasard ». L’analyse de son histoire permet de donner des contours à ce hasard.
Aspects du scientisme dans l'article « Émotion » (Paul Fraisse). Essai d'analyse rhétorique de cinq phrases introductives
Authors: Spoljar Philippe
Published: November 2014

L’analyse des phrases liminaires de l’article de P. Fraisse intitulé « Émotion » relève différentes stratégies rhétoriques qui donnent une illusion de rigueur et d’objectivité tout en construisant un artefact permis par la simplification réductrice du phénomène émotionnel. Suivant les procédés scientistes habituels, ce phénomène prétendument objectivé nourrit essentiellement la représentation d’un être humain « opératoire », à l’image d’un acteur social efficace, pouvant et devant résister au stress, au titre d’une normalité comportementale. Cet imaginaire théorique légitime une position idéologique qui porte un message social normatif d’adaptation, conforme à certaines attentes institutionnelles et organisationnelles.

The Role of Monoamine Oxidase in Humans and Its Metabolism
Authors: Mirowska-Guzel Dagmara , Balkowiec-Iskra Ewa
Published: November 2014

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) isoenzymes A and B are mitochondrial-bound proteins that catalyze the oxidative deamination of dietary amines and monoamine transmitters. Others include: serotonin, epinephrine, 2-phenylethylamine, and dopamine. MAOs can potentially modulate all the processes involving bioactive amines, including regulation of mood, emotional behavior, and other brain function. MAO enzymatic activity plays a role in the pathophysiology of a wide range of mental and neurodegenerative disorders, including personality disorders, depressive syndromes, and Parkinson’s disease. Similarly, the byproducts of MAO-mediated reactions include some chemical species that can cause mitochondrial damage leading to neurotoxicity, and can affect the function of other organs such as the heart. In this article, genetic variations, anatomical distribution, and physiological functions of MAO-A and MAO-B are described.

Moclobemide—A Reversible Inhibitor of Monoamine Oxidase-A
Authors: Rybakowski Janusz K.
Published: November 2014

Moclobemide, a reversible inhibitor of monoamine oxidase-A, is now the main representative of the third generation of monoamine oxidase inhibitors. In this review, pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic data on moclobemide are presented. Moclobemide has been extensively evaluated clinically and showed efficacy in major unipolar and bipolar depression, dysthymia, depression in neurological disorders, social phobia, and panic disorder. Tolerability of moclobemide is good and its side effects are mild. The drug does not produce sexual dysfunctions and exerts favorable effects on cognitive functions. The data on moclobemide interactions show that the drug can be safely combined with most antipsychotic, antidepressant, and anxiolytic drugs as well as with most drugs used in somatic illnesses. Due to short elimination half-life and reversibility of monoamine oxidase-A inhibition, a change to an alternative anti-depressant can be done within 24 hours of stopping moclobemide, and moclobemide can be introduced within several days after discontinuation of previous antidepressant.

Revisiting the Role of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors in Pediatric Psychopharmacology
Authors: Pumariega Andres J. , Pradhan Basant K.
Published: November 2014

The concept of providing psychopharmacological treatment for children and youth remains controversial. This has especially been true regarding the use of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) due to their significant side effects and concern about dietary adherence by children, youth, and their families. However, some literature and clinical experience exists on their use in common pediatric psychiatric disorders. This article reviews this literature and a case series in the context of these concerns and raises questions about the reconsideration of these agents in the pediatric population.

A Clinical Overview of Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitors: Pharmacological Profile, Efficacy, Safety/Tolerability, and Strategies for Successful Outcomes in the Management of Major Depressive Disorders
Authors: Zajecka John M. , Zajecka Alexa M.
Published: November 2014

The discovery of monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) resulted in their widespread use as first- and second-line treatments for major depressive disorders (MDD) and anxiety for more than 30 years. Newer antidepressant modalities were developed to provide greater efficacy and address the safety concerns of medication and dietary interactions associated with conventional MAOIs. The newer antidepressant treatments, including augmentation, resulted in a significant reduction in the use of, and familiarity with, MAOIs. There is increasing evidence that MAOIs play an important role in the management of MDD, including large, community-based clinical trials in outpatients with MDD that used treatment with MAOIs as a third- or fourth-level treatment after failing to remit with other treatments. The MAOIs are still included among MDD treatment recommendations in internationally recognized guidelines. The introduction of reversible, or selective, MAOIs offers treatment options that reduce safety concerns regarding diet and medication interactions associated with conventional MAOIs, and dietary instructions are less restrictive. MAOIs can be used successfully with a basic review of the pharmacology, dosing strategies, possible side effects and management, safety issues, dietary and medication guidelines, and when to introduce MAOIs in the management of patients with MDD and related disorders.

Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor Therapy and the Catecholamine Hypothesis of Depression Revisited
Authors: Tobe Edward H.
Published: November 2014

The catecholamine hypothesis has guided mood disorder research, treatment, and marketing of drugs as if the hypothesis were fact. Joseph Schildkraut recognized the value of the indirect evidence supporting the correlation of biogenic amines to mood disorder, and also recognized “the significant effects which social and interpersonal factors have on the clinical response to antidepressant drugs.” This remark predicts placebo effect in the treatment of mood disorder. He recognized that depression does not represent a single homogeneous entity and this hypothesis is undoubtedly, at best, a reductionist over-simplification of a very complex biological state. This article reviews selected literature that emphasizes enzymology, cerebellum, mitochondria, intracellular environment, pharmacodynamics, and suppositions from treatment. Evidence from the literature shows that the concept of an enzymatically balanced, complex biological metabolism provides a useable concept for a nonhomogeneous mood disorder.

A hamartoma is a benign, focal malformation that resembles a neoplasm in the tissue of its origin. This is not a malignant tumor, and it grows at the same rate as the surrounding tissues. We report a case of a 27-year-old male patient who presented with mild dysphagia and foreign body sensation in the throat of 1-year duration. On examination, there was a mucosal fold on the medial wall of pyriform sinus lateral to aryepiglottic fold that was acting like a sump where food particles used to get collected. Patient underwent microlaryngeal excision of the mucosal fold, and histopathological examination revealed features of hamartoma.

Abstract. Recent studies have suggested that deserts, which are a long-neglected region in global carbon budgeting, have strong downward CO2 fluxes and might be a significant carbon sink. This finding, however, has been strongly challenged because neither the reliability of the flux measurements nor the exact location of the fixed carbon has been determined. This paper shows, with a full chain of evidence, that there is indeed strong carbon flux into saline/alkaline land in arid regions. Based on continuous measurement of net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) from 2002 to 2012 (except for 2003), the saline desert in western China was a carbon sink for 9 out of 10 years, and the average yearly NEE for the 10 years was −25.00 ± 12.70 g C m−2 year−1. Supporting evidence for the validity of these NEE estimates comes from the close agreement of NEE values obtained from the chamber and eddy-covariance methods. After ruling out the possibility of changes in C stored in plant biomass or soils, the C uptake was found to be leached downwards into the groundwater body in the process of groundwater fluctuation: rising groundwater absorbs soil dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and falling groundwater transports the DIC downward. Horizontal groundwater flow may send this DIC farther away and prevent it from being observed locally. This process has been called "passive leaching" of DIC, in comparison with the active DIC leaching that occurs during groundwater recharge. This passive leaching significantly expands the area where DIC leaching occurs and creates a literally "hidden" carbon sink process under the desert. This study tells us that when a downward CO2 flux is observed, but seems to have nowhere to go, it does not necessarily mean that the flux measurement is unreliable. By looking deeper and farther away, a place and a process may be found "hidden" underground.

Abstract. Most of the mathematical models developed for rare events are based on probabilistic models for extremes. Although the tools for statistical modeling of univariate and multivariate extremes are well developed, the extension of these tools to model spatial extremes includes an area of very active research nowadays. A natural approach to such a modeling is the theory of extreme spatial and the max-stable process, characterized by the extension of infinite dimensions of multivariate extreme value theory, and making it possible then to incorporate the existing correlation functions in geostatistics and therefore verify the extremal dependence by means of the extreme coefficient and the Madogram. This work describes the application of such processes in modeling the spatial maximum dependence of maximum monthly rainfall from the state of Paraná, based on historical series observed in weather stations. The proposed models consider the Euclidean space and a transformation referred to as space weather, which may explain the presence of directional effects resulting from synoptic weather patterns. This method is based on the theorem proposed for de Haan and on the models of Smith and Schlather. The isotropic and anisotropic behavior of these models is also verified via Monte Carlo simulation. Estimates are made through pairwise likelihood maximum and the models are compared using the Takeuchi Information Criterion. By modeling the dependence of spatial maxima, applied to maximum monthly rainfall data from the state of Paraná, it was possible to identify directional effects resulting from meteorological phenomena, which, in turn, are important for proper management of risks and environmental disasters in countries with its economy heavily dependent on agribusiness.
Variable population exposure and distributed travel speeds in least-cost tsunami evacuation modelling

Abstract. Evacuation of the population from a tsunami hazard zone is vital to reduce life-loss due to inundation. Geospatial least-cost distance modelling provides one approach to assessing tsunami evacuation potential. Previous models have generally used two static exposure scenarios and fixed travel speeds to represent population movement. Some analyses have assumed immediate departure or a common evacuation departure time for all exposed population. Here, a method is proposed to incorporate time-variable exposure, distributed travel speeds, and uncertain evacuation departure time into an existing anisotropic least-cost path distance framework. The method is demonstrated for hypothetical local-source tsunami evacuation in Napier City, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand. There is significant diurnal variation in pedestrian evacuation potential at the suburb level, although the total number of people unable to evacuate is stable across all scenarios. Whilst some fixed travel speeds approximate a distributed speed approach, others may overestimate evacuation potential. The impact of evacuation departure time is a significant contributor to total evacuation time. This method improves least-cost modelling of evacuation dynamics for evacuation planning, casualty modelling, and development of emergency response training scenarios. However, it requires detailed exposure data, which may preclude its use in many situations.
Leibniz, spinozismo e misticismo
Authors: Pinheiro Ulysses
Published: November 2014

O presente artigo examina o modo como Leibniz figurou as relações entre o pensa- mento filosófico e o pensamento místico, recorrendo para isso ao contraste entre suas teses e as de Spinoza. Trata-se de mostrar que a transcendência do fundamento da racionalidade levará Leibniz, de forma à primeira vista surpreendente, a uma valorização da totalidade do campo imanente da experiência humana como fonte de conhecimento. O erro do spinozis- mo, segundo Leibniz, consiste justamente em, ao tornar imanente o fundamento, perder de vista a especificidade cognitiva e ética da experiência.

LEI DE TERRAS, IMIGRAÇÃO E APROPRIAÇÃO TERRITORIAL NO PARANÁ DA SEGUNDA METADE DO SÉCULO XIX
Authors: Sanoto Alex Sander
Published: November 2014

Este artigo tem como interesse discutir o processo de apropriação das terras no Paraná durante o período que se estende entre 1854 e 1889. Mais detidamente, o objetivo é discutir aspectos relacionados à aplicação dos preceitos da Lei de Terras de 1850 para o caso específico da Província do Paraná. Num sentido mais geral, foram abordadas questões relativas ao processo de povoamento do território paranaense, tais como a imigração e o estabelecimento dos limites entre a propriedade pública e privada da terra. Para tanto, foram utilizados documentos produzidos pelo Estado, especialmente as Mensagens enviadas pelos presidentes da província à Assembleia Legislativa. Da mesma forma, também foi realizada análise da produção historiográfica que trata sobre o assunto e sobre o período.

Предложные фразы как предикаты в русском языке
(Prepositional phrases as predicates in Russian)
Authors: Lönngren Lennart
Published: November 2014

According to valency properties PPs can be divided into those with semantic and those with syntactic preposition. Amongst the latter (which here are referred to as PRPs) we must distinguish those which behave as predicates and those which don't, that is PRPs with and PRPs withoutvalency.The paper deals with PRPs functioning as predicates. These are treated as transforms of more underived constructions. Often the PRP functionsas part of the syntactic predicate, together with the copula or an empty verb. There are cases when it is not easy to decide whether the preposition is semantic or syntactic, or whether the verb is empty or not.

A comprehensive collection of Russian examples is now available at free disposal. The examples are ordered according to valency properties. The main division is based on the number of constituencies of the syntactic "atom", i.e. a predicate together with the actants it immediatelydominates. A secondary division takes into account the part-of-speech membership of the predicate. Finally, within each part-of-speech group the examples are classified according to syntactic transformation properties into underived and different types of derived structures.

“Писатель всегда платит за все валютой собственной жизни: за счастье, за творчество, за любовь, за увлечения...”: О романе Дины Рубиной На солнечной стороне улицы
Authors: Komarova Olga
Published: November 2014

The article deals with Dina Rubina's novel On the Sunny Side of the Street, published in 2006. The writer's name became known in Russia in the 70-ies when as a young girl she began publishing her first short stories in the liberal literary magazine Junost ́, and got her first recognition among the reading public as a promising story-teller.After her emigration to Israel in 1990 a new period in Dina Rubina's writing started. A new theme made itself apparent in her stories - the theme of Jews from the former Soviet Union discovering their new Motherland, their new experience of living under absolutely different geographical and social surroundings. She managed to create in her stories a gallery of characters almost recognizable in their uncertainty and fumbling attempts at survival. The stories she wrote then were a success with the public not only because of their plot but also because of a peculiar mixture of humour and sadness, and very vivid and convincing speech characteristics of the protagonists, they also witnessed about the awakening of patriotic feelings of the newcomers. Dina Rubina's artistic style seemed to combine the vividness of the psychological characterization and caleidoscopic variety of depicted situations.The novel On the Sunny Side of the Street is different both in the topic and in the artistic means used by the author. It is telling a story of two gifted persons, mother and daughter, and their different ways of using their talents.This particular story is shown on a wide background of different events taking place in Tashkent during some four decades after World War II with a picturesque variety of characters of different nationalities and beautiful scenery, tragic and comic signs of the Soviet time - all this helps to create a panoramic view of both the city and its inhabitants.The structure of the novel is complicated, the story is often interrupted by voices of former inhabitants of Tashkent telling about their impressions from the town or by the voice of the author telling of her own private experiences and even meetings with the main protagonist, Vera, who is a painter. This fact accounts for the author's masterful use of colourful details both in descriptions of the characters, their speech and the nature.This novel was rewarded with a special Radio-Booker prize in 2006, and with a very prestigious literary prize "Bol ́šaja kniga" in 2007. Dina Rubina has proved that she remains a very important part of Russian literary life.
