Quel regard porter sur les magistrats ayant siégé dans les juridictions d’exception sous l’Occupation ?
Authors: Jean Jean-Paul
Published: December 2018

L’auteur explique par le fait générationnel les appréciations portées par les magistrats sur le comportement de leurs aînés durant les années noires. À la Libération, une pratique modérée de l’Épuration ne sanctionne pas, par exemple, la simple participation d’un magistrat aux juridictions d’exception. Aujourd’hui, le jugement est moins indulgent comme en témoigne le refus de mettre sur le même plan les magistrats cités à l’ordre de la Nation par Pétain et les autres. Ce changement s’explique par un corps moins endogène que jadis et dont la représentativité sociologique est plus large.
La cour martiale de l’Isère (30 août-6 octobre 1944)
Authors: Bruttmann Tal , Courtecuisse Claire
Published: December 2018

La cour martiale de l’Isère fait partie du bref épisode que l’on appelle « épuration sauvage » ou « épuration extrajudiciaire ». Créée en attendant la mise en place des cours de justice (ordonnance du 26 juin 1944), dans un climat d’affrontement et de débats, elle n’en a pas moins joué un rôle modérateur. Le nombre d’exécutions capitales qu’elle prononce n’est pas plus élevé que celui de la cour de justice de la Libération dans ce département.
La cour de justice de Lyon, section du Rhône (septembre 1944-juillet 1949)
Authors: Sansico Virginie
Published: December 2018

Créée le 29 septembre 1944, la cour de justice de Lyon accélère la répression de la Collaboration dans le souci de freiner l’épuration extralégale. Tout en limitant les excès commis lors de la Libération, elle parvient à combiner, durant ses cinq ans d’activité, fermeté et équité en tenant à distance la pression de l’opinion et la colère de certains mouvements de la Résistance.

Photorefractive Keratectomy and LASIK for the Correction of Hyperopia: 2-year Follow-up
Authors: Spadea Leopoldo , Sabetti Lelio , D'Alessandri Laura , Balestrazzi Emilio
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) and LASIK in the correction of hyperopia.

METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 100 eyes of 56 patients with a mean hyperopia of +2.85±1.1 diopters (D) undergoing PRK and 100 eyes of 50 patients with a mean hyperopia of +4.49±1.2 D undergoing LASIK. A Zeiss Meditec MEL 70 G scan laser was used.

RESULTS: After 24-month follow-up in the PRK group (100 eyes), the mean manifest refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE) was +0.34±0.92 D (36% ±0.5 D). Mean uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was 0.87 ±0.1; 8 (8%) eyes gained 1 line, 80 (80%) eyes had no loss or gain of lines, 10 (10%) eyes lost 1 line, and 2 (2%) eyes lost 2 lines. In the LASIK group (100 eyes), at 24-month follow-up, the mean MRSE was +0.29±0.66 D (70% ±0.5 D). Mean UCVA was 0.89±0.1; 6 (6%) eyes gained 2 lines, 10 (10%) eyes gained 1 line, 78 (78%) eyes had no loss or gain of lines, and 6 (6%) eyes lost 1 line.

CONCLUSIONS: Photorefractive keratectomy and LASIK were both effective and safe in the correction of hyperopia. However, PRK manifested an initial temporary myopic overshoot followed by a hyperopic regression over 24-month follow-up (P<.01) whereas LASIK was associated with a faster refractive stability.

A New Formula for Intraocular Lens Power Calculation After Refractive Corneal Surgery
Authors: Camellin Massimo , Calossi Antonio
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: When calculating the power of an intraocular lens (IOL) with conventional methods in eyes that have previously undergone refractive surgery, in most cases the power is inaccurate. To minimize these errors, a new IOL power calculation formula was developed.

METHODS: A theoretical formula empirically adjusted two variables: 1) the corneal power and 2) the anterior chamber depth (ACD). From the average curvature of the entrance pupil area, weighted according to the Stiles-Crawford effect, the corneal power is calculated by using a relative keratometric index that is a function of the actual corneal curvature, type of keratorefractive surgery, and induced refractive change. Anterior chamber depth is a function of the preoperative ACD, lens thickness, axial length, and the ACD constant. We used our formula in 20 eyes that previously underwent refractive surgery (photorefractive keratectomy [n=6], laser subepithelial keratomileusis [n=3], laser in situ keratomileusis [n=6], and radial keratotomy [n=5]) and compared our results to other formulas.

RESULTS: Mean postoperative spherical equivalent refraction was +0.26 diopters (D) (standard deviation [SD] 0.73, range: -1.25 to +1.58 D) using our formula, +2.76 D (SD 1.03, range: +0.94 to +4.47 D) using the SRK II, +1.44 D (SD 0.97, range: +0.05 to +4.01 D) with Binkhorst, 1.83 D (SD 1.00, range: -0.26 to +4.21 D) with Holladay I, and -2.04 D (SD 2.19, range: -7.29 to +1.62 D) with Rosa's method. With our formula, 60% of absolute refractive prediction errors were within 0.50 D, 80% within 1.00 D, and 93% within 1.50 D.

CONCLUSIONS: In this first series of patients, we obtained encouraging results. With a greater number of cases, all statistical adjustments related to the different types of surgery should be improved. [J Refract Surg. 2006;22:187-199.]
Devoción y poder en la Corona de Castilla a través del patronazgo de la reina María de Aragón (1420-1445)
Authors: Pelaz Flores Diana
Published: December 2018

La demostración de la religiosidad personal y el apoyo a la promoción de instituciones eclesiásticas son dos de las tareas principales que las reinas medievales deben desarrollar para mostrarse como mujeres piadosas. La elección personal que realiza la reina a la hora de beneficiar a determinados centros religiosos revela la particular percepción de su promotora respecto al tejido eclesiástico del reino, entendido desde el punto de vista político, y al mismo tiempo pone de manifiesto la imagen espiritual que la reina intenta transmitir de sí misma. Este artículo abordará el patronato de la reina María de Aragón, primera esposa de Juan II de Castilla, analizando la importancia religiosa, pero también política, que tienen sus decisiones al respecto.
Dos copistas en el siglo X: Gómez de Cardeña y Gómez de Albelda
Authors: Cuenca Muñoz Paloma
Published: December 2018

Durante la primera mitad del siglo X se realiza en el monasterio de San Pedro de Cardeña un códice que contiene los Moralia in Iob de san Gregorio y en San Martín del Albelda se copia la obra de san Ildefonso De virginitate perpetua. Ambos manuscritos están realizado por un copista llamado Gómez. La crítica ha planteado en algunos trabajos la posibilidad de que ambos copistas fueran el mismo, sin embargo, el presente trabajo expone mediante un análisis paleográfico la mayor probabilidad de que se trate de dos copistas diferentes.

Published: December 2018

Overweight and obesity is a situation where a person has stacked too much fat that might affect negatively his/her health. Many people skip doing exercises due to several facts related to the encouragement, health-awareness, and time ar-rangement. Diverse aerobic video games have been proposed to help users in do-ing exercises. However, we observe some limitations in existing games. For in-stance, they don’t give correct scores while wearing Arabic traditional suits, they don’t consider showing immersive realistic scenes, and they don’t stimulate users to do exercises and keeping them encouraged to play more. We propose in this paper an aerobic video game that displays real scenes of aerobic coaches and keeps the user notified about doing exercises. It is a kind of serious games that allows users to learn aerobic movements and practice with aerobic coaches. It contains several exercises in which each can be played on normal screen or in fully immersive virtual reality (VR). While the user is playing, he/she can see the playing score with the estimated amount of burned calories. It stores the time when the user plays to remind him/her about doing exercises again. The profound user studies demonstrated the usability and effectiveness of the proposed game.

L’objectif du présent texte est de montrer, à travers l’analyse des entretiens et des dessins de 26 enfants de petite et grande section, comment les enfants d’école maternelle découvrent les normes scolaires, se les approprient et les (ré)interprètent. Les dessins ont été utilisés donc comme support du discours, il s’agira ici d’analyser le discours faits sur les images dessinées. Pour ce faire, la démarche adoptée pour le travail de terrain a suivi une orientation ethnographique et l’analyse du contenu des entretiens a été réalisée à la lumière des concepts de la sociologie de l’enfance et de la sociologie clinique.
Compétences émergentes dans la pratique des professeurs des écoles débutants. Une approche psychophénoménologique.
Authors: Boutrais Magali
Published: December 2018

Notre recherche vise à comprendre comment se construit le « je » professionnel des professeurs des écoles débutants, de leur point de vue, en utilisant l’approche psychophénoménologique et l’entretien d’explicitation (Vermersch, 1994). Cette approche épistémologique couplée à la technique de l’entretien d’explicitation prend en compte la subjectivité des acteurs pour documenter le déroulement des actions dans une situation passée. Les données qualitatives recueillies auprès de six professeurs des écoles sont composées d’entretiens d’explicitation et d’entretiens semi-directifs. L’analyse de ce corpus, orientée vers la compréhension de l’activité des enseignants, met en lumière les prises d’information et prises de décision effectuées en classe, lors d’interactions avec les élèves. Les compétences mises en œuvre par les enseignants débutants en situation ainsi que les valeurs sous-jacentes résultent de l’analyse de ces données. Cet article présente les compétences émergentes en construction chez les professeurs des écoles. Les liens entre ces compétences émergentes et les items de la compétence 4 du Référentiel des compétences professionnelles des métiers du professorat et de l’éducation (2013) permettent de questionner les enjeux de la formation des futurs professeurs des écoles.

L’histoire de l’éducation au sein des sciences de l’éducation : un champ de recherche passerelle ?
Authors: Wagnon Sylvain
Published: December 2018

L’histoire de l’éducation est une passerelle possible entre histoire et sciences de l’éducation. Comment concevoir une histoire de l’éducation à la fois discipline de recherche historique et science auxiliaire de l’action pédagogique ? De par son objet d’étude, l’histoire de l’éducation est un lieu propice pour faire émerger des approches et des démarches qui mêlent rigueur historique et démarche praxéologique. C’est aussi un espace privilégié pour articuler les interactions entre le passé et le présent. À partir de l’explicitation de quelques positionnements théoriques et méthodologiques actuelles, nous analyserons l’émergence d’une histoire de l’éducation renouvelée par l’histoire matérielle et des pratiques.
Vaccination Policy in Italy: An Update
Authors: Crenna Stefano , Osculati Antonio , Visonà Silvia D.
Published: December 2018

The effective control of vaccine-preventable diseases generally requires indefinite maintenance of extremely high rates of timely vaccination. Therefore, vaccine hesitancy is of paramount importance and needs to be addressed. In Italy, regulations about vaccinations are controversial and, to some extent, inconsistent. Even though the childhood vaccinations are mandatory by law (Italian Law n. 891/1939, n. 292/1963, n.51/1966 and n. 165/1991), the limited deterrent effectiveness of the sanctioning system, and the changes introduced by the Italian Constitutional Law n. 3/2001 (devolution of almost all the competences and responsibilities in health matters to the Regions and the Autonomous Provinces), were the fertile ground in which new vaccine policies were generated and developed, radically different from the existing ones: many Regions, based on what was decided in 2005 - on an experimental basis - by the State-Regions Conference, decided to abolish the vaccination obligation and/or to stop the imposition of administrative sanctions on non-compliant parents. In addition, since then, there is a worrying tendency to decline vaccinations due to the parents’ mistrust in pharmaceutical companies and health policies. Therefore, recently, the Italian government decided to deploy an emergency ordinance (Italian Decree Law n. 73/2017). In this article, the authors are going to illustrate the current situation in Italy concerning vaccination policy, from a legislative and social point of view.

The visual acuity loss enables the brain to access new pathways in the quest to overcome the visual limitation and this is wellknown as neuroplasticity which have mechanisms to cortical reorganization. In this review, we related the evidences about the neuroplasticity as well as cortical anatomical differences and functional repercussions in visual impairments. We performed a systematic review of PUBMED database, without date or status publication restrictions. The findings demonstrate that the visual impairment produce a compensatory sensorial effect, in which non-visual areas are related to both cross (visual congenital) and multimodal (late blind) neuroplasticity.

Precontrast T1 signal measurements of normal pituitary and microadenoma: A retrospective analysis through DCE MRI signal time curves
Authors: Kumar Ishan , Yadav Tanya , Verma Ashish , Shukla Ram C , Singh Surya K
Published: December 2018

Background: The dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE MRI) has currently become the most utilized technique for the detection of pituitary microadenoma. However, owing to differential enhancement of normal pituitary, high rate of false positivity remains a concern in its interpretation. Purpose: Our aim was to assess the utility of precontrast T1 signal intensity ratio (SIR) of the lesions suspected on DCE MRI, in prediction of presence of microadenoma. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed MRI of 23 patients referred for DCE MRI of pituitary (group 1, 15 patients with diagnosis of pituitary microadenoma; and group 2, patients not clinically labeled as microadenoma). STC were plotted and T1-SIR at t = 0 s was obtained at the suspicious zone of differential enhancement (SIR T) and normal pituitary (SIR P). SIR difference (SIR P − SIR T) and relative SIR difference (SIR P − SIR T/SIR P) were calculated for each patient and was compared between the two groups. Results: Mean T1 SIR is lower in patients with microadenoma than those without (P = 0.065). SIR difference and relative SIR difference was higher in patients with microadenoma (P = 0.003 and 0.005, respectively). Receiver-operated characteristic curve analysis demonstrated that a cut-off of 26 and 0.107 for SIR difference and relative SIR difference, respectively, could diagnose microadenoma with 100% specificity and reasonable sensitivities. Conclusion: The baseline precontrast T1 SIR evaluation of the lesion suspected to be microadenoma on DCE MRI, derived through STC curve, can increase diagnostic confidence in diagnosis of microadenoma.

Authors: John Reetu , Putta Tharani , Simon Betty , Eapen Anu , Jebasingh Felix , Thomas Nihal , Rajaratnam Simon
Published: December 2018

Context: The size and morphology of the adrenal glands are affected by several physiological and pathological conditions. Radiologists need to be aware of the normal thickness of adrenal gland to accurately assess patients with suspected adrenal pathology. However, there is limited data on the normal size of the adrenal glands. Moreover, this has not been studied in our population. Aims: To study the normal thickness of adrenal gland on computerized tomography (CT) in Indian adult population. Settings and Design: Retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital in Southern India. Subjects and Methods: Our study included 586 adults who underwent a CT abdominal angiogram over 15 months, and excluding patients with clinical or imaging evidence of adrenal disease. The measurements made included: the maximum thickness of the body, medial and lateral limbs, measured perpendicular to the long axis. Results: The median age was 51 (range: 18–85) years. The mean maximum thickness of the adrenal body, medial, and lateral limbs were 7.2 ± 1.8, 4.1 ± 1.1, and 4.3 ± 1.1 mm on the right side and 8.8 ± 1.9, 4.7 ± 1.1, and 4.9 ± 1.3 mm on the left. The cumulative thickness of the body and the limbs were 15.6 ± 3.7 mm and 18.4 ± 3.8 mm on the right and left sides, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in all the measurements between the right and left adrenal glands (all P values = 0.000) and between men and women, being larger in men (P value <0.05). Among our patients 27% had at least one adrenal gland body measuring ≥10 mm in thickness. Conclusions: Our study has defined the normal range of adrenal gland thickness in an Asian Indian adult population, which may be used as a baseline reference for future research and as a reference for radiological reporting.
Dealing with technical challenges in embolization of a rare aberrant left inferior bronchial artery arising from the left gastric artery in a patient with massive hemoptysis
Authors: Gangwani Gaurav , Yadav Ajit , Dhamija Amit , Gupta Arun
Published: December 2018

Bronchial artery embolization is an established intervention for management of recurrent massive hemoptysis in a majority of patients. The source of bleeding in a majority of cases is systemic arteries – orthotopic bronchial arteries, anomalous bronchial arteries, or nonbronchial systemic collaterals. We report a case of an aberrant left inferior bronchial artery arising from the left gastric artery (LGA) in a patient with massive hemoptysis. Such origin from infradiaphragmatic vessels and specially left gastric arteries is very rare and needs to be considered by interventional radiologists and pulmonologists in case with hemoptysis disproportionate to supply by orthotopic arteries. Technical challenges were present in the present case in the form of an aneurysm in the aberrant artery and nontarget hepatic and gastric branches arising from LGA. Appropriate selection of hardware and embolic agents was done to deal with the clinical situation.
Clinicoradiologicial aspects of secretory carcinoma breast: A rare pediatric breast malignancy
Authors: Bhayana Aanchal , Misra Ritu N , Bajaj Sunil K , Bankhar Himani
Published: December 2018

Secretory carcinoma (juvenile carcinoma) is one of the very rare breast malignancy reported to be prevalent in pediatric age group. We report imaging and clinicopathological features of secretory carcinoma breast with distant and axillary metastasis, in an 11-year-old girl, who presented with a painful lump in right breast. Ultrasound revealed a well-defined, partially microlobulated hypoechoic mass with skin and pectoralis muscle involvement and a suspicious morphology right axillary lymph node. Color Doppler revealed increased vascularity in both the breast mass and suspicious axillary node. Magnetic resonance imaging helped in better evaluation of pectoralis muscle involvement. Computed tomography (CT) neck, chest, and abdomen revealed multiple fibronodular opacities in bilateral lung fields. 18 Flouro-Deoxy-Glucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG PET-CT) showed a hypermetabolic retroareolar breast mass with multiple hypermetabolic bilateral lung nodules suggesting lung metastasis. The histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of secretory carcinoma. The patient was offered chemotherapy for 2 years and put on follow-up since then.
Publication and Discovery of Things in the Internet of Things
Authors: Ibrahim Naseem
Published: December 2018

A large number of IoT platforms have been introduced in the last few years. The major issue with available platforms is that they view Things as private property. But this view is short sighted. A Thing should be viewed as a service or a functionality provider. The Thing owner should be able to publish Thing information and make it public. On the other hand, Thing requesters should be able to discover available Things. Our research is concerned with introducing an architecture that supports the publication and discovery of Things. This architecture will enable Thing owners to publish Thing speciﬁcation and Thing requesters to ﬁnd Things that best matches their needs. The main contribution of this paper is an SOA Context-aware Architecture for the publication and discovery of Things. This paper formally deﬁnes an architecture for Things and queries. Also, this paper presents two XML languages that supports the publication and query of Things.

Published: December 2018

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN)-based Automatic Weather Stations (AWSs) perform automatic collection and transmission of weather data. These AWSs face challenges, which lower their performance. Hence, a need for regular monitoring to reduce down time. We propose condition monitoring, comprised of a data receiver, analyser, problem classifier and reporter and visualizer, to mine data relationships, identify possible causes of problems and perform reporting of AWS status. The data receiver uses an M/M/1/k queuing model. We use Successive Pairwise REcord Differences (SPREDs) algorithm to compare arrival rates and packet content so as to establish sensor, node and AWS level performance. We also perform a hybrid of Grubb outlier detection and correlations amongst related variables for data validation. Problems take on one of four states. One connection can receive data at a rate as low as 1ms, without loss while problem identification especially in high density network is improved.
Notas comparativas sobre o desenvolvimento de duas tradições sociológicas nacionais

Published: December 2018

Esse trabalho tem o objetivo de delinear algumas características da sociologia alemã da década de 1920 através de uma perspectiva comparativa que contrastará o sucesso da sociologia alemã com o fracasso da sociologia britânica. Utilizaremos para tanto as explicações e as categorias explicativas expostas no artigo Why do disciplines fail? The strange case of British sociology, de Reba N. Soffer (1982). Pretende-se aqui explorar de forma mais apurada a comparação proposta pela autora entre a sociologia britânica entre sua fundação em 1903 e a década de 1950 e a sociologia alemã, mais especificamente da década de 1920, que possui algumas características diferenciadas da geração dos pioneiros, mais utilizada pela autora como base de sua comparação.

Abstract. The estimation of land surface heat fluxes has significant meaning for energy and water cycle studies, especially for the Tibetan Plateau (TP), which has unique topography and strong land–atmosphere interactions. The land surface heating status also directly influences the movement of atmospheric circulation. However, for a long time, plateau-scale land surface heat flux information with high temporal resolution has been lacking, which greatly limits understanding of diurnal variations in land–atmosphere interactions. Based on geostationary and polar orbiting satellite data, a surface energy balance system (SEBS) was used in this paper to derive hourly land surface heat fluxes with a spatial resolution of 10 km. Six stations scattered through the TP and equipped for flux tower measurements were used to correct the energy imbalance problem existing in the measurements and to perform cross-validation. The results showed good agreement between derived fluxes and in situ measurements through 3738 validation samples. The RMSEs for net radiation flux, sensible heat flux, latent heat flux and soil heat flux were 76.63 W m−2, 60.29 W m−2, 64.65 W m−2 and 37.5 W m−2, respectively. The derived results were also found to be superior to GLDAS flux products (RMSEs for the surface energy balance components were 114.32 W m−2, 67.77 W m−2, 75.6 W m−2 and 40.05 W m−2, respectively). The diurnal and seasonal cycles of land surface energy balance components were clearly identified. Their spatial distribution was found to be consistent with the heterogeneous land surface status and general hydrometeorological conditions of the TP.

Abstract. A comprehensive chlorine heterogeneous chemistry is incorporated into the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model to evaluate the impact of chlorine-related heterogeneous reaction on diurnal and nocturnal nitrate formation and quantify the nitrate formation from gas-to-particle partitioning of HNO3 and from different heterogeneous pathways. The results show that these heterogeneous reactions increase the atmospheric Cl2 and ClNO2 level, leading to an increase of the nitrate concentration by ~ 10 % in the daytime. However, these reactions also lead to a decrease the nocturnal nitrate by ~ 20 %. Sensitivity analyses of uptake coefficients show that the empirical uptake coefficient for the O3 heterogeneous reaction with chlorinated particles may lead to the large uncertainties in the predicted Cl2 and nitrate concentrations. The N2O5 uptake coefficient with particulate Cl− concentration dependence performs better to capture the concentration of ClNO2 and nocturnal nitrate concentration. The reaction rate of OH and NO2 in daytime increases by ~ 15 % when the heterogeneous chlorine chemistry is incorporated, resulting more nitrate formation from HNO3 gas-to-particle partitioning. By contrast, the contribution of the heterogeneous reaction of N2O5 to nitrate concentrations decreases by about 27 % in the nighttime when its reactions with chloriated particles are considered. However, the generated gas-phase ClNO2 from the heterogeneous reaction of N2O5 and chlorine-containing particles further decompose to increase the nitrate by 6 %. In general, this study highlights the potential of significant underestimation of daytime and overestimation of nighttime nitrate concentrations for chemical transport models without proper chlorine chemistry in the gas and particle phases.
Impact of different estimations of the background-error covariance matrix on climate reconstructions based on data assimilation
Authors: Valler Veronika , Franke Jörg , Brönnimann Stefan
Published: December 2018

Abstract. Data assimilation has been adapted in paleoclimatology to reconstruct past climate states. A key component of the assimilation system is the background-error covariance matrix, which controls how the information from observations spreads into the model space. In ensemble-based approaches, the background-error covariance matrix can be estimated from the ensemble. Due to the usually limited ensemble size, the background-error covariance matrix is subject to the so-called sampling error. We test different methods to reduce the effect of sampling error in a published paleo data assimilation setup. For this purpose, we conduct a set of experiments, where we assimilate early instrumental data and proxy records stored in trees, to investigate the effect of 1) the applied localization function and localization length scale; 2) multiplicative and additive inflation techniques; 3) temporal localization of monthly data, which applies if several time steps are estimated together in the same assimilation window. We find that the estimation of the background-error covariance matrix can be improved by additive inflation where the background-error covariance matrix is not only calculated from the sample covariance, but blended with a climatological covariance matrix. Implementing a temporal localization for monthly resolved data also led to a better reconstruction.
Locality-based 3-D multiple-point statistics reconstruction using 2-D geological cross sections

Published: December 2018

Abstract. Multiple-point statistics (MPS) has shown promise in
representing complicated subsurface structures. For a practical
three-dimensional (3-D) application, however, one of the critical issues is
the difficulty in obtaining a credible 3-D training image. However,
bidimensional (2-D) training images are often available because established
workflows exist to derive 2-D sections from scattered boreholes and/or other
samples. In this work, we propose a locality-based MPS approach to
reconstruct 3-D geological models on the basis of such 2-D cross sections (3DRCS),
making 3-D training images unnecessary. Only several local
training subsections closer to the central uninformed node are used in the
MPS simulation. The main advantages of this partitioned search strategy are
the high computational efficiency and a relaxation of the stationarity
assumption. We embed this strategy into a standard MPS framework. Two
probability aggregation formulas and their combinations are used to assemble
the probability density functions (PDFs) from different subsections.
Moreover, a novel strategy is adopted to capture more stable PDFs, where the
distances between patterns and flexible neighborhoods are integrated on
multiple grids. A series of sensitivity analyses demonstrate the
stability of the proposed approach. Several hydrogeological 3-D application
examples illustrate the applicability of the 3DRCS approach in reproducing
complex geological features. The results, in comparison with previous MPS
methods, show better performance in portraying anisotropy characteristics
and in CPU cost.
Tumbas, materialidad y maternidad en los enterramientos de mujeres con Campaniforme: Dos casos de estudio del valle medio del Tajo

Published: December 2018

El estudio de dos tumbas campaniformes de la provincia de Toledo se establece como punto de partida para valorar el conjunto de los enterramientos peninsulares de mujeres y la existencia de comportamientos identificativos de sexo. La mujer forma parte de los enterramientos campaniformes y toda la variedad de construcciones, asociaciones y rituales característicos del momento. Los ajuares asociados a ellas muestran heterogeneidad y manifiestan su relevancia social e integración dentro de la sociedad. Es esa socialización la que realmente sitúa los enterramientos femeninos en la misma categoría social que el resto de la población asociada a campaniforme.  Que uno de los enterramientos corresponda a una gestante nos permite reflexionar sobre la importancia de la maternidad en el III milenio a.C. y su causalidad en la muerte de mujeres en el pasado.

Mediante otras técnicas también podemos conocer su cronología o las condiciones paleoambientales en las que vivieron. En este trabajo abordamos algunos aspectos socioeconómicos de las sociedades asentadas en el Valle Medio del Tajo durante la Edad del Hierro, a través del estudio zooarqueológico de siete yacimientos inéditos.
Uncovering the Unheard: A Multimedia Performance and Installation Inspired by Ophelia’s Drowning in William Shakespeare’s Hamlet
Authors: Tulk Niki
Published: December 2018

Ophelia / Leaves was a performance, spoken word, and sonic/material art installation that reimagined Hamlet’s “to be or not to be” soliloquy from Act 3, Scene 1, as a portal into the psychic landscape of Ophelia. In developing this “cover” version of the thematic and textual essence of Hamlet, the work was reconvened theatrically according to one specific moment—that of Ophelia’s drowning. From inside the lines, “To be or not to be,” the questions arose: Are being and nonbeing even separate? Of what nature is Ophelia’s wound that speaks from the liminal space within this text? How might the language and experience of Ophelia’s trauma be discovered, and then rendered in performance? In this version of Hamlet, the cover version of the play was used to slip into the work undercover, to approach the process of theater-making as a secretive backdoor strategy in order to unearth content and questions that challenge what and whom the original work might actually be about.
Aldous Huxley's Late Turn to Bergson and Island as Bergsonian Utopia
Authors: Taylor Mark
Published: December 2018

Aldous Huxley's final novel, Island (1962), famously combines Eastern and Western thought. However, many readings of the novel compartmentalize the engagement with science in the novel as Western and its engagement with philosophy as Eastern, with the consequence that aspects of the novel rooted in Western philosophy are often overlooked. This article argues that, among Western writing, attention to Henri Bergson is particularly revealing with respect to Island. Both Bergson's philosophy of the function of the mind and his reflections on social evolution have major parallels within Huxley's novel. The reflection of Bergsonian ideas in Island marks the culmination of a long journey for Huxley: he had been familiar with Bergson for fifty years prior to its publication. This article traces Huxley's progress from initial coolness toward the then-modish Bergson to eventual acclamation, culminating in Island.
Hope, Utopia, and Everyday Life: Some Recent Developments
Authors: Cook Julia Anne
Published: December 2018

Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in hope in the disciplines of sociology and anthropology. Although expressions of hope on varying scales have been considered, this article focuses on recent scholarship addressing micro, often individual experiences of hoping. Such experiences of hope dovetail with a recent strand in utopian studies focusing on material and practice-based considerations and drawing utopian energies into everyday life. Working between these points of homology, this article considers the relationship between small-scale expressions of hope and utopian thinking. Literature addressing diverse subject matter is compared on the basis of its conceptualizations of hope. The outcome is twofold. First, common understandings of hope are identified in research addressing diverse topics. Second, Darren Webb's typology of modes of hope and their relationship to utopian thinking is expanded upon, and ultimately, a dichotomous understanding of modes of hope as either utopian or anti-/non-utopian is challenged.
