Les Amours tragiques de Pyrame et Thisbé : le théâtre du monde à l’heure de la fiction
Authors: Zanin Enrica
Published: March 2019

Comment rendre sensible pour le spectateur moderne la polysémie propre à la scène du XVI e et du XVII e siècle ? L’image dramatique y a une valeur analogique que l’analyse des Amours tragiques de Pyrame et Thisbé met en lumière. Cette pluralité de signifiance est perdue pour le spectateur d’aujourd’hui, qui ne regarde pas l’image scénique comme un défi d’interprétation, mais qui assiste à une fiction. L’analyse des mises en scène contemporaines montre des voies inédites de recréation de la polysémie, par le déplacement du théâtre du monde vers le théâtre de l’intériorité.
L’athéisme à la croisée des chemins Dévots et libertins : Pascal et Cyrano, Leibniz et Bayle
Authors: Gros Jean-Michel
Published: March 2019

À travers l’exemple de deux couples comprenant chacun un esprit libertin et un apologiste – Cyrano et Pascal, Bayle et Leibniz –, on a voulu montrer que c’est le plus souvent à travers les contaminations réciproques des positions antagonistes que celles-ci s’exacerbent et que les limites de l’inacceptable sont franchies de part et d’autre. Cyrano et Pascal, sans s’être lus, utilisent les mêmes thèmes : le divertissement, la cironalité universelle, l’immortalité de l’âme, et surtout le pari et le « Dieu caché ». Chacun tire évidemment ces thèmes vers des conclusions diamétralement opposées : le sarcasme libertin oblige Pascal à dramatiser le vieux topos apologétique du pari tout en cherchant à le rationaliser alors que la dérision libertine semble miner par avance cette tentative énergique de convertir l’athée dans un monde où un dieu « sot ou malicieux » joue à « cligne musette ». Leibniz, quant à lui, tente par un discours métaphysique – la Théodicée  – de faire barrage aux terribles questions des grands articles sur le mal du Dictionnaire historique et critique de Bayle. Mais il ne comprend pas, quelle que soit la rigueur de son argumentation, que ces articles n’attendent aucune réponse : ils mettent seulement en scène l’inanité de toute tentative de mettre la raison au service d’un discours, celui de la théologie ou de la métaphysique apologétique, qui lui impose comme point de départ un dogme qu’elle ne peut interroger, ce qui va à l’encontre du principe même de tout usage de la rationalité philosophique.
Affirmation de vérité, revendication de véracité : formes et enjeux d’une coexistence dans les récits historiques de la seconde moitié du XVI e siècle en France
Authors: Guerrier Olivier
Published: March 2019

À partir notamment de l’examen d’un certain nombre de paratextes d’ouvrages d’histoire ou de mémoires de la seconde moitié du XVI e siècle en France, on s’interrogera sur le sens de la revendication de véracité qui vient y doubler le souci de vérité. « Courage de la vérité », certes, mais volonté également de faire œuvre de témoignage, à une époque où le statut de ce dernier se modifie, conduisant plus largement à la question du « régime de vérité » ici en jeu.
Le parrèsiaste contre le courtisan : enjeux discursifs de l’écriture de l’histoire à la Renaissance
Authors: Desbois-Ientile Adeline
Published: March 2019

L’historiographie subit à la Renaissance de profondes transformations, dont cet article entend montrer qu’elles entraînent l’émergence de deux figures d’historien, pensées dans leur opposition : le parrèsiaste et le courtisan. Si tous affirment dire la vérité, d’un bout à l’autre du siècle, ce qui change en effet est la revendication, à partir des années 1560, d’un parler libre et hardi. La parrêsia devient dès lors aussi bien un ethos qu’un instrument de la rationalité critique de l’historien.
Alètheia et parrêsia dans Le Réveille-Matin des François et dans l’historiographie protestante de l’après Saint-Barthélemy
Authors: Bernard Mathilde
Published: March 2019

Comment parler franc et fort tout en gardant la neutralité qui fait l’ ethos de l’historien ? Cette contradiction guide la parole des protestants après la Saint-Barthélemy. Il s’agit pour eux de dénoncer une monarchie coupable, de mener le combat partisan dicté par leur foi, tout en s’inscrivant dans la droite ligne de l’historien guidé par le seul souci de vérité. Le paradoxe n’est qu’apparent cependant puisque cette vérité est dictée par Dieu et que Dieu impose une parole de parrèsiaste.
Du barbare au sauvage : la vérité historique chez Rousseau
Authors: Rustighi Lorenzo
Published: March 2019

Cet article analyse le rapport entre discours vrai et récit historique chez Rousseau, à travers sa neutralisation de la tradition historico-politique nobiliaire. En se focalisant sur le rôle méthodologique de la fiction, l’auteur montre la manière dont Rousseau construit une historiographie des « causes morales », qui déplace l’intérêt des coutumes comme habitus aux mœurs comme tendances collectives. L’objectif est de démontrer l’incapacité de l’histoire rousseauiste à être un acte parrèsiastique .
La genèse stratifiée du répertoire de la Comédie-Française entre 1680 et 1730
Authors: Harvey Sara
Published: March 2019

Cet article interroge la constitution stratifiée du répertoire de la Comédie-Française de 1680 à 1730 à travers l’étude statistique du fonds primitif et des créations saisonnières. L’objectif initial est de rendre lisible la manière dont s’organise la programmation en continu et le processus de conservation des pièces jusqu’en 1793. Cette enquête nous invite également à analyser comment l’image du répertoire est traversée par un faisceau de variables qui nous obligent à confronter facteurs qualitatifs et lecture quantitative. De cette lecture ressort un point de tension irrésolu entre les besoins du spectacle vivant et la mission institutionnelle du premier théâtre français.
Histoire des représentations des comédies-ballets de Molière depuis leur création jusqu’en 1700 : le témoignage des registres de la compagnie
Authors: Powell John S.
Published: March 2019

Les registres financiers de la Comédie-Française fournissent des détails précieux sur la représentation musicale des comédies-ballets de Molière sur la scène publique. Dans de nombreux cas, les registres donnent des détails sur les chanteurs, danseurs, violons, hautbois, théorbe, et clavecin utilisés dans divers spectacles. Sur une période de 40 ans, cette information révèle que la présence de la musique et de la danse a augmenté pendant les années 1660, a culminé pendant 1670-1673, est tombée brusquement au cours de 1673-1674, a à nouveau augmenté en 1675 pour les productions de pièces à machines, et s’est finalement stabilisée avec la création d’un orchestre de théâtre permanent.
La naissance de Sīdī Molière : le premier répertoire arabo-moliéresque au xix e siècle
Authors: Trabelsi Ons
Published: March 2019

Dès ses débuts, durant la deuxième moitié du XIX e siècle, le théâtre arabe moderne est associé à Molière et à un discours prônant le renouvellement et la modernité. Molière est interprété, traduit et retraduit. L’importance de ses comédies sur les scènes du théâtre arabe moderne permet de le considérer comme un auteur classique du répertoire arabe et comme l’auteur le plus joué depuis l’importation du théâtre occidental. Cet article présente une vue d’ensemble sur la démarche d’appropriation et de création d’un modèle à partir des premières adaptations et des représentations des troupes naissantes de la deuxième moitié du XIX e  siècle, et observe la démarche de l’adaptation/traduction qui tend à construire un répertoire arabo-moliéresque.
L’éclipse de la merveille
Authors: Veret Elsa
Published: March 2019

L’entrée de la merveille dans le lexique métapoétique du français se produit sous l’influence des textes poétiques et des discours prescriptifs italiens dès la Renaissance. Nous établissons l’histoire de ce terme polysémique, qui est au cœur d’un réseau de significations allant de l’admiration au sublime, en l’ancrant dans son héritage antique et en retraçant les usages discursifs qui en ont été faits au cours du XVII e siècle. À la lumière d’une histoire culturelle de la notion et d’une analyse linguistique, nous tentons d’expliquer sa progressive opacification.
Narratio / narration ? La rhétorique et la langue française
Authors: Noille Christine
Published: March 2019

Quand les concepts rhétoriques ont été traduits du latin dans la langue française de l’époque moderne, les opérations de transfert culturel n’ont pas été explicitées dans un certain nombre de cas, ceux où le terme latin a trouvé un équivalent francisé, nous obligeant aujourd’hui à un exercice inverse de reconceptualisation à l’intérieur même de notre langue. Que voulait dire narration en contexte rhétorique ? C’est à cette archéologie que nous nous livrons dans cet article, en distinguant quatre étapes, lesquelles sont autant de protocoles de séquençage du dispositif narratif qui l’éloignent de l’acception narratologique : identifier et délimiter la narration, la fonctionnaliser, la décomposer et l’amplifier.
La traduction du latin mouere par faire impression : une anti-rhétorique ?
Authors: Goyet Francis
Published: March 2019

Faire impression est une traduction classique pour le latin rhétorique mouere . Une enquête lexicographique fait remonter cette traduction aux années 1560, époque où imprimer en vient à signifier « persuader ». Pareille date donne une acuité particulière à la question que l’on peut se poser à la lecture des traités latins. De façon générale, le vocabulaire du mouere parle de mouvement, alors que celui de l’ imprimere parle de stabilité, d’une trace fortement empreinte, et qui demeure. En grec, le premier terme relève de la kinèsis et le second, de la tupôsis , autre terme très chargé ( cf. le mot d’ hypotypose ). La traduction par faire impression a donc quelque chose de contre-intuitif, surtout à une époque parfaitement informée des enjeux de la rhétorique latine. L’article suggère que, au moins chez Montaigne, le vocabulaire de l’impression est un rejet de la kinèsis en faveur de la tupôsis  : rejet de la foule qu’agite l’orateur, sur fond de rejet explicite de la rhétorique cicéronienne.
L’insinuation classique en question
Authors: Susini Laurent
Published: March 2019

Un « tournant insinuatif » marque la seconde moitié du XVII e siècle. Mais parallèlement au renouveau de la réflexion sur les différentes manières de s’insinuer, l’antique notion d’insinuation elle-même cherche alors à se redéfinir. Ces quelques décennies permettent ainsi de saisir, à travers la progressive percée du sème /implicite/, la transition de son ancien sens rhétorique au sens linguistique qui est globalement le nôtre aujourd’hui, et les enjeux profonds de cette évolution.
Le style puéril. Critique d’un défaut de jeunesse
Authors: Hache Sophie
Published: March 2019

Bien que les enjeux stylistiques du mot puéril soient assez discrets, on remarque sa présence en contexte métalinguistique dans les textes d’Ancien régime, en particulier dans des traités d’éloquence. Les contours du style puéril se révèlent alors par tâtonnements : vice du style par excès ou par défaut, opposé au froid ou confondu avec lui, identifié tantôt aux figures de l’amplification, tantôt à l’invention lexicale, il se voit surtout envisagé sous l’angle du ridicule et des excès dans le goût pour la nouveauté.
Qu’est-ce que le classicisme ? Étude comparée des vocabulaires critiques nationaux
Authors: Norman Larry F.
Published: March 2019

Cet article compare les usages en français et en anglais des termes classique et classicisme . Il examine l’évolution transnationale de ce vocable critique, notamment à la période romantique (de Staël), et son emploi aux XIX e et XX e siècles et dans la critique contemporaine. En interrogeant l’exception française présentée par le « Grand Siècle », il s’agit notamment ici de se pencher sur le problème des multiples traductions possibles en anglais ( classic, classical, neoclassical ) du mot classique .
Le génie de la langue entre les langues
Authors: Siouffi Gilles
Published: March 2019

Les termes génie de la langue et intraduisible datent tous deux du XVII e siècle et la conceptualisation du « génie de la langue » date d’un moment de grand développement des pratiques de traduction. Dans une optique onomasiologique, cet article se propose d’examiner comment l’expression nouvelle génie de la langue a été traduite dans différentes langues européennes à partir de sa première occurrence en français. Il pose ainsi la question de la traductibilité des nouvelles formes construites sur des bases latines et grecques, et des possibilités d’équivalence avec d’autres bases empruntées aux langues modernes. Dans une optique sémasiologique, il s’interroge sur la manière dont a été cernée concrètement la question de l’intraduisible dans les langues par le biais du concept de « génie de la langue ».
Total Hip Arthroplasty Templating: A Simple Method to Correct for Radiograph Magnification
Authors: Asnis Stanley E. , Heller Yonah Y.
Published: March 2019

Several factors can cause magnification errors when templating. Parallax, distance from the plate, and printing or monitoring the radiographs can lead to errors. Steel balls, 25.4 mm, underwent radiography on a standard radiograph plate in different positions from the center of the x-ray beam for evaluation of parallax and at different heights from the x-ray table for evaluation of the effects of distance on magnification. Difference in size between the center steel ball and the peripheral balls was less than 0.3 mm. As a metal ball was brought from table top to a 6-inch elevation, there was up to a 25% magnification. A simple correction factor can be calculated to correct magnification error. The diameter of the surgically removed femoral head divided by the diameter of the femoral head on the preoperative radiograph yields a correction factor. This factor multiplied by the template-determined lesser trochanter-to-center yields the length to be created during surgery. This adjusts for all causes of magnification. [

Early Warning Systems in Industry 4.0: A Bibliometric and Topic Analysis
Authors: Bertoncel Tine , Meško Maja
Published: March 2019

This article is based on a literature search, using the keywords: Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, smart factory, early warning systems and decision making in the Web-of-Science (WoS) database. The authors conducted a bibliometric and topic analysis that covered the year of publication, country of publication and the frequency with which authors, institutions/organizations, journals and phrases appeared in the literature. Based on the research, it was found that research on EWS in Industry 4.0 mainly focused on predictive maintenance. Security threats, workplace safety and managerial early warning systems (MEWS) were also present in the literature on EWS, however to a much lesser degree. The article concludes by discussing the importance of this bibliometric study within the context of MEWS in Industry 4.0 and Industry 4.0 in general.
A Literature Review of User Satisfaction Models Towards Information System Success
Authors: Antonopoulou Maria , Kotsilieris Theodore
Published: March 2019

User satisfaction is considered an important aspect of information system success. The objective of this article is to present a literature review on the usefulness and importance of user satisfaction as a measure of the effectiveness of information systems in modern Information Society. At the same time, the article follows the evolution of user satisfaction models, to study the research efforts in light of its multidimensional nature. Towards this direction, several widely accepted user satisfaction models are considered and compared. As a result, it turns out that the most adequate model for the measurement of user satisfaction is the 3Q model. This model focuses on the system, information and service quality aspects of an information system and highlights the causal relationships among them in order to study user satisfaction. Moreover, the article investigates the functional applicability and assessment of the fundamental user satisfaction models in the e-commerce and e-governance domains.
Influence of Joint Orientation on the Behavior of Dam Foundation Resting on Jointed Rock Mass Under Earthquake Loading Condition
Authors: Halder Prasun , Kumar Saurabh , Manna Bappaditya , Sharma K. G
Published: March 2019

In this article, the effect of an intact rock foundation and foundations with different single rock joint inclinations (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°) on the dynamic response of the concrete gravity dam under strong earthquake ground motion is investigated. Discrete element analyses are carried out using UDEC to study the stress-deformation behavior of dam for two specific dynamic load combinations (LC), i.e. considering the dead weight of the dam having an empty reservoir with earthquake loading (LC-D) and considering the dead weight of the dam along with hydro-dynamic force with earthquake load (LC-E) as per IS: 6512. From the results, the compressive stresses are found maximum at the heel of the dam for LC-D and maximum at the toe for LC-E. The dam foundation with 60° joint inclination was found most critical in terms of possessing maximum compressive stresses among all other cases. Dam foundation with a horizontal (0°) set of joints exhibits maximum crest displacement and base sliding. Foundations with 60° and 90° joint sets are found to undergo lower base sliding compared to other joint sets.

Study of the Dynamic Characteristics of BWE Based on Products, Difference With a Two-Stage Supply Chain
Authors: Di Weiya , Ma Junhai , Zhan Xueli
Published: March 2019

In previous studies, many researchers have achieved significant success in reducing the negative effects brought about by the bullwhip effect. In this article, the authors have established a supply chain that consists of one supplier and two retailers and has adopted a Cournot-Bertrand mixed duopoly model that successfully combines a nonlinear complexity dynamic system with the bullwhip effect. In order to partition systems with various degrees of disorder and take appropriate methods to refrain systems from falling into a chaos state, numerical simulation methods are conducted to find the stability range, bifurcation range and the chaos range. This article focuses on three different ranges that the authors analyze about the bullwhip effect and inventory variability. In the end, some practical suggestions on behavioral science management are made.
A Symbolic Convergence Perspective for Examining Employee Knowledge Sharing Behaviors in Company-Hosted Virtual Communities
Authors: Wang Wei-Tsong , Hung Hui-Hsiang
Published: March 2019

This article investigates individual knowledge sharing behaviors (KSBs) in company-hosted virtual communities of practice (CVCs), where KSBs are guided mainly by the sense of virtual community (SVC) and the shared meanings that are formed via the recurring communicative patterns and emotional responses in the interpersonal communication processes. The symbolic convergence theory (SCT) addresses the significance of the shared meanings of a social group in facilitating the harmony among and the favorable behaviors of the members of the group. By adopting SCT, the authors examine the effects of SVC and shared-meaning-related factors on KSBs in CVCs. Data collected from 159 CVC participants were analyzed to examine the research model. The authors found that shared language and shared emotional connection significantly influence KSBs both directly and indirectly via SVC. The research findings highlight the importance of achieving shared meaning among individuals in CVCs to encourage interpersonal knowledge sharing via effective communication processes.
Do Hotel Responses Matter?
Authors: Liu Wenlong , Ji Rongrong
Published: March 2019

This article aims to examine how hotel responses to online reviews influence how potential consumers perceived the helpfulness of the online reviews. Response length and voice were employed to measure the hotel's response quality. 637 reviews with responses were used for empirical analysis. The study identified three different types of response voices: disputed voice, professional voice, and empathetic voice. The results show that both response length and response voice have significant effects on the helpfulness perceived by potential consumers. Moreover, they also have some interaction effects with star ratings, review length, and review image. This study suggests that hotels should strategically respond to both positive and negative online reviews so as to both create a positive interaction atmosphere and resolve consumer complaints. The findings of this study can, to some extent, help manage word of mouth reputations.
Studying Anemia of Chronic Disease and Iron Deficiency in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis by Iron Status and Circulating Hepcidin
Authors: Khalaf Warqaa , Al-Rubaie Haithem Ahmed , Shihab Sami
Published: March 2019

Anemia of chronic disease (ACD) and iron deficiency anemia (IDA) are the two most important types of anemia in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Functional iron deficiency in ACD can be attributed to overexpression of the main iron regulatory hormone hepcidin leading to diversion of iron from the circulation into storage sites resulting in iron-restricted erythropoiesis. The aim is to investigate the role of circulating hepcidin and to uncover the frequency of IDA in RA. The study included 51 patients with RA. Complete blood counts, serum iron, total iron binding capacity, ferritin, and hepcidin- 25 were assessed. ACD was found in 37.3% of patients, IDA in 11.8%, and combined (ACD/IDA) in 17.6%. Serum hepcidin was higher in ACD than in control and the other groups (P ≤ 0.001). It was strongly and positively correlated with ferritin (P < 0.001), while hemoglobin, serum iron, and total iron binding capacity were negatively correlated with hepcidin (P = 0.016, 0.022 and <0.001, respectively). High serum hepcidin was significantly associated with ACD in RA. IDA alone or combined with ACD was encountered in about a third of patients.
MPL Y252H and MPL F126fs Mutations in Essential Thrombocythemia: Case Series and Review of Literature
Authors: Elsayed Ahmed G. , Ranavaya Aeesha , Jamil Muhammad Omer
Published: March 2019

Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a clonal bone marrow disease, characterized by increased production of platelets along with other clinical and bone marrow findings. Most patients with ET will have a somatic mutation in one of the known gene locations of JAK2, CALR , or MPL that can upregulate the JAK-STAT pathway. MPL mutation is present in 5% of cases with the most common mutations being W515L and W515K. In this report we describe 2 cases of patients with clinical and laboratory picture of ET. One patient carried MPLY252H mutation which is previously unreported in the adult population but has been shown to be a gain-of-function mutation. The other patient carried MPL F126fs mutation which is not known to be of clinical importance and has not been previously reported.
Technical contributions to territorial planning and the use of ecosystemic services in a hydrographic basin with a water deficit in the Atlantic Rainforest of Brazil
Authors: Figueira Douglas Leite , Valcarcel Ricardo , Baptista Marcelle Nardelli
Published: March 2019

The catchment basin of the Dois Rios River (R2R) (3159 km2) unites the climatic and environmental effects typical of areas located on the leeward side of mountain chains. It has a deficient water balance, with sparse and very specific wet areas. This study identifies delimitation areas, and characterizes and groups those basins and floodplains which show the greatest capacity for producing ecosystemic services related to maintaining the continuity of water resources in the R2R basin. Locations with higher pluviometric indices (1500 to 2800 mm/year) were selected and grouped into micro basins with the highest potential for capturing rainfall due to their being on the leeward side of the mountains in the region (with their slopes oriented to permit them to capture humidity and concave plane curvature). The 42 basins formed 4 groups, from which the 17 micro basins with the highest probability of providing ecosystemic services were chosen, belonging to Groups III and IV. Within these groups, the 498 floodplains with the highest potential for offering ecosystemic services (Group D) present the greatest capacity for water retention and sustainable effects (high average circularity index, higher altitudes and low occupation rates). The correct use of 0.0006% of the basin can guarantee the direct flow of the drainage for the entire basin. This strategy only requires renaturation measures, discipline with regard to the land uses and strict observance of the processes which generate ecosystemic services in the floodplains of these basins, resulting in relevant socio-environmental benefits for all socioeconomic segments within the R2R basin.
The geology and hydrogeology of buried bedrock valley aquifers on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia: an overview
Authors: Baechler Fred
Published: March 2019

Buried bedrock valley aquifers are common across Canada, where multiple glaciations have buried both pre-glacial and Pleistocene valleys. These aquifers are becoming increasingly important as a supply of potable groundwater, for supporting aquatic habitat, and as part of strategies in adapting to a changing climate. However, in Canada, there are considerable knowledge gaps at national, regional, and local scales, such that many buried bedrock valleys remain unidentified or underexplored. Cape Breton Island provides a hydrogeological view into the roots of an ancient mountain range, now exhumed, glaciated, deglaciated, and tectonically inactive. Since the Cretaceous, a variety of geological processes have formed several buried bedrock valley aquifers over the island. These aquifers are important in providing municipal and commercial groundwater supplies, controlling mine dewatering, protection of salmonids, design and monitoring of waste disposal sites, and geotechnical investigations for infrastructure design. Of 150 sites assessed, 61% provided evidence of buried aquifers comprising unconsolidated sand and gravel of Cretaceous, Pleistocene, and Holocene ages. These sites provided the basis for five conceptual, 3-D hydrogeological block models. Three hydrogeological case studies provided further insight into the functioning of two of these models. Future studies should identify and characterize aquifers in high demand areas and/or those that support important riverine ecosystems. Research should focus on aquifer properties, groundwater-stream interaction, and the impact of changing climate with sea-level rise.
Ring-shaped morphological features and interpreted small seamounts between southern Quebec (Canada) and the New England seamounts (USA) and their possible association with the New England hotspot track
Authors: Marple Ronald T. , Hurd, Jr. James D. , Altamura Robert J.
Published: March 2019

Enhancements of recently available high-resolution multibeam echosounder data from the western Gulf of Maine and Atlantic continental margin and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and digital elevation model data from southeastern Quebec (Canada) and the northeastern United States have revealed numerous ring-shaped morphological features and interpreted small seamounts between the Monteregian Hills igneous province and the New England seamounts. The morphological features onshore are mainly ring-shaped depressions, several of which surround mapped igneous intrusions in the Monteregian Hills igneous province and White Mountain magma series. Most of the rings offshore are also depressions, although a few rings are curved ridges above the seafloor. The largest ring in the western Gulf of Maine is the 30-km-diameter Tillies ring that lies 20 km east of Cape Ann, MA. Several small (<3 km in diameter) round, flat-topped submerged hills that we interpret to be volcanic necks are also present beneath the western Gulf of Maine. The rings between Cape Cod and the continental slope are more subtle because of thicker sediments and poorer spatial resolution of the sonar data in this area. The southernmost ring-shaped features are located on the continental slope and upper continental rise and coincide with the northwestern end of the New England seamount chain. The concentration of these features between the Monteregian Hills igneous province and the New England seamounts suggests that they are igneous features that may be associated with the New England hotspot track.
Sedimentology and chemostratigraphy of Carboniferous red beds in the western Moncton Basin, Sussex area, New Brunswick, Canada: possible evidence for a middle Mabou Group unconformity
Authors: Islam M.M. Nazrul , Keighley David G.
Published: March 2019

The area around Penobsquis, east of Sussex, New Brunswick, Canada, is an important location of natural resources for the province. The McCully gas field produces from strata of the Mississippian Horton Group whereas younger strata of the Windsor Group are host to major potash and rocksalt deposits. Overlying these units are over 1 km of poorly understood red beds currently assigned to the Mississippian Mabou Group. To date, this latter unit lacks significant marker beds and has had no useful biostratigraphic recovery, despite recent extraction of close to 5 km of drill core. Research on this core broadly identifies siltstone and sandstone at the base of the Mabou Group that gradually coarsen up into conglomerate. The succession is considered the result of alluvial-fan progradation from the northeast. Within this succession, in several of the cores, is a single interval of localized, horizontally laminated to cross-stratified, bluish-grey sandstone, containing carbonaceous plant fragments and siltstone intraclasts. To assess the importance of this interval in the context of the red bed succession, a total of 131 samples of core from three boreholes have been analyzed using Inductively Coupled Plasma and spectroscopic techniques to determine chemostratigraphy. Study of various elemental ratios can delineate two packages, one that corresponds to the grey interval and overlying red beds, and the other to the underlying red beds. Changes in the elemental ratios are interpreted to mark a broader population of mineral species related to greater variation of provenance and diagenesis in the upper sediment package. The reduced horizons and rip-up clasts may have been produced by sediment reworking along a boundary that represents an unconformity (in core, a disconformity) at a stratigraphic level near to where one has been inferred by other workers.
Determination of Optimal Diagnostic Cut-Offs for the Naval Medical Research Center Scrub Typhus IgM ELISA in Chiang Rai, Thailand

In this diagnostic accuracy study, we evaluated data from 135 febrile patients from Chiang Rai, to determine the optimal optical density (OD) cutoffs for an in-house scrub typhus IgM ELISA. Receiver operating characteristic curves were generated using a panel of reference assays, including an IgM immunofluorescence assay (IFA), PCR, in vitro isolation, presence of an eschar, or a combination of these. Altogether, 33 patients (24.4%) were diagnosed as having scrub typhus. Correlation between positivity by IFA and increasing OD values peaked at a cutoff of 2.0, whereas there was little association between positivity by culture or eschar with increasing ELISA cutoffs—cutoffs of 3.0 and 4.0 were demonstrated to be optimal for the total absorbance of the OD at dilutions 1:100, 1:400, 1:1,600, and 1:6,400, for admission and convalescent samples, respectively. The optimal cutoff at a 1:100 dilution was found to be between 1.85 and 2.22 for admission samples and convalescent-phase samples, respectively. Sensitivities for the cutoffs varied from 57.1% to 90.0% depending on the reference test and sample timing, whereas specificities ranged from 85.2% to 99.0%. We therefore recommend a cutoff of around 2.0, depending on the sensitivity and specificity desired in clinical or epidemiological settings. The results demonstrate the ELISA to be a valuable diagnostic tool, suitable for use in resource-limited endemic regions, especially when used in combination with other diagnostic modalities such as the presence of an eschar.

Las estructuras de acogida están dotadas de capacidades que desencadenan pautas que determinan unidades de mutua pertenencia en los procesos sociales. Este artículo analiza si los personajes de la serie The Wire tienen la posibilidad de adscribirse a estructuras de acogida que orienten sus vidas. El resultado de la investigación evidencia que los personajes quedan reducidos a una pugna por la autoconservación. Las estructuras de acogida no son capaces de irrumpir sobre la precariedad de estos personajes, puesto que hay una inercia existencial que cruza todo el material humano y social, dotando a aquello que abarca de un carácter inestable. Ni siquiera la educación puede erigirse en una estructura de acogida al servicio de los personajes. En consecuencia, cada personaje verá en la justificación del tipo de vida que él mismo lleva antes un fenómeno deslocalizado que una opción de transacción entre las cosas que conoce del mundo y la realidad. También se ha llegado a la conclusión que la concreción de lo indeterminado que desarrolla toda obra artística condiciona a la totalidad del ser humano como una intersección con saltos vitales que alzan la existencia individual hasta una fase ontológica cuyas formas existenciales trascienden los parámetros de la expresividad artística.

Authors: Chandaruba Saneslaus Boniface
Published: March 2019

The main objective of the study was to assess the prospects and challenges of adopting Servant Leadership Philosophy (SLP) in a Tanzania public leadership context. A total of 278 respondents; 109 Members of Parliament (MPs), 90 Respondents from the General Public (RGPs) and 79 key informants selected from different constituencies and localities across the country using a non-probability approach of snowball sampling were involved. Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection and analysis were employed. The primary and secondary data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations and documentary review. The key findings revealed that there are many prospects in adopting the principles of SLP in addressing public leadership deficiencies and there are several challenges to be encountered in the due process of adopting this philosophy. Thus, the study recommends, among other things, enhancing the Public Leaders Code of Ethics Act of 1995 and other established ideals for public leaders in Tanzania by adopting the principles of SLP; training public leaders on SLP and including SLP in school curricula topics with a view of grooming patriotic and ethical leaders of the next generation.

Interactive whiteboard instruction technology provides interactive learning environment and serves as a motivational tool for the students. The study aims to investigate the effectiveness of interactive whiteboard (IAW) to teach early numeracy skills to the ASD students. The study has employed single-case design methodology and evaluated students for the effectiveness of using interactive whiteboard for teaching skills to the students through multiple probe design. A total of five baseline sessions were conducted on total four recruited students. During the intervention, data was obtained for at least three sessions from the date each student reached the acquisition criteria. The results showed that introduction of the intervention resulted in all participants meeting the established criteria. The early numeracy skills were generalized by all the four students to a different setting and with different materials. These results have supported the effectiveness of the interactive whiteboard, coupled with DTT to teach early numeracy skills to students with ASD. The study has concluded that interactive whiteboard with DTT was effective to teach early numeracy skills to the ASD students.

Cutter Load Distribution Analysis and Crown Shape Optimal Design of Complex Curved PDC Bit
Authors: Pei Ju
Published: March 2019

When drilling in hard rock formations, the wear of the complex curved PDC bit is extremely uneven. To solve this problem, a numerical simulation method was used to analyze the load distribution law of the cutters and the crown shape of the complex curved PDC bit was optimized. The simulation results showed that: 1) along the radial direction of the bit, the axial load on the cutters increased first and then decreased, while the radial load decreased first and then increased; 2) the axial load on the cutters was the largest at the nose and taper area of the bit, while the radial load on the cutters was the largest at the center and shoulder area of the bit; 3) the influence of the inner cone angle on the cutting load was mainly concentrated in the bit crown's inner cone area, while the influence of the outer arc radius on the cutting load was mainly concentrated in the bit crown nose and taper areas. Based on these conclusions, the crown shape of the complex curved PDC bit was optimized and a field test was carried out. The test results showed that, compared with the original complex curved PDC bit, the average bit life and drilling efficiency of the new designed bit was increased by 20% and 18%, respectively, especially in hard rock drilling. The average drilling efficiency of the new designed bit was increased by 50%.

Three partially pre-stressed interior beam-column sub-assemblages (SI) and two partially pre-stressed exterior beam-column sub-assemblages (SE) made of reactive powder concrete as test specimens were numerically modeled using a finite element program. The objective of this study was to investigate the behavior of the SI and SE numerical models. The numerical model inputs were: material data, details of test specimen dimensions, and test specimen reinforcements. The numerical models were subjected to the same loads as those applied experimentally. The numerical modeling results were hysteretic and backbone curves and stress distribution contours. The numerical model outputs showed good similarity with the experimental results. The stress distribution contours of the numerical models correlated with the crack patterns in the joint zone of the test specimens. The behavior of the SI numerical models differed from the SE numerical models due to various stresses on the beam plastic joints and the joint zones.
A importância social, econômica e territorial do circuito inferior da economia urbana do eixo rodoviário Natal-Caicó, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasil / The social, economic and territorial importance of the urban economy lower circuit of the road axis Natal-Caicó, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil

Neste trabalho, objetivamos analisar a importância social, econômica e territorial das atividades não hegemônicas da economia urbana desenvolvidas no eixo rodoviário Natal-Caicó, estado do Rio Grande do Norte, Região Nordeste do Brasil. Nesse eixo, as cidades e a economia crescem alicerçadas, sobretudo, em atividades econômicas mantenedoras da pobreza estrutural produzida pela modernização do território, situação característica do processo de precarização do trabalho. Como resposta sistêmica, tem-se a segmentação da economia urbana, com o subsistema inferior cada vez mais dependente do superior, assim como mais permanente e receptor de trabalhadores. Por meio de reflexões sobre a teoria dos circuitos da economia urbana relacionadas com dados primários acerca das cidades do eixo Natal-Caicó, concluímos o trabalho sublinhando que, enquanto não predominar o mercado socialmente necessário, o circuito inferior é e será importante para viabilizar a sobrevivência da maioria dos trabalhadores e para explicitar a tensão ou a crise vivenciada no mercado de trabalho e na sociedade.Palavras–chave: Economia urbana, Mercado de trabalho, Pobreza.Abstract In this study, we aimed to analyse the social, economic and territorial importance of hegemonic urban economy activities developed on the road axis Natal-Caicó, State of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil. In this axis, the cities and the economy grow based on supporters of poverty basic economic activities produced by the territory modernisation, situation characteristic of the precarious work process. As a systemic response, there is the urban economics segmentation, with the lower subsystem increasingly dependent on top, as well as more permanent and receiver. Through reflections on the theory of circuits of urban economics related to primary data about the road axis Natal-Caicó cities, we conclude the work stressing that, while not predominate the socially necessary market, the lower circuit is and it will be essential to make possible the survival of the majority of workers and to clarify the tension or the crisis experienced in the labour market and society.Keywords: Urban economics, Labor market, Poverty.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir a produção do espaço urbano da cidade de Vitória (ES) por meio da construção imobiliária entre o final do século XIX e as primeiras décadas do século XX.  Vitória foi construída com a finalidade rentista e tal lógica se evidencia desde quando se utilizava o trabalho do escravo na construção de moradias na cidade. A prática do aluguel de escravos na atividade de construção elevou o preço do trabalho de construir e impediu o acesso deste trabalho especializado à população mais pobre, difundindo a produção doméstica entre os mais pobres e restringindo a construção por encomenda aos mais ricos.  Vitória seguiu crescendo de maneira desigual, com uma paisagem heterogênea marcada tanto pelo traçado irregular das moradias e das vias quanto pelas contradições de uma lógica rentista de se produzir a cidade. Desta forma, busca-se compreender a produção do espaço da capital capixaba considerando o trabalho, as formas de produção da construção civil e o processo de urbanização da cidade no período supracitado.Abstract This article aims to discuss the production of the urban space of the city of Vitória (ES) through real estate construction between the end of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth century. Vitória was built with the rentier purpose since when it was used the work of the slave in the construction of houses in the city. The practice of renting slaves in the construction activity has raised the price of labour to build and prevented the access of this specialised work to the more impoverished population, spreading the domestic production among the poorest and restricting the construction by order to the rich. Why, even after the end of slavery and the use of slave labour in construction, did Vitória continue to grow unevenly and excludable? The forms of production of the construction industry, real estate, and the process of urbanisation of the city are the references by which one seeks to understand the production of the space of the capital of Espírito Santo state.Keywords: space production; real estate construction; slavery; rental of real estate.
