Chorégraphie dans l’ enactment
Authors: Feldman Michael , Hacker Anne-Lise
Published: March 2018

Dans l’exploration de l’interaction entre le patient et l’analyste, on s’est beaucoup intéressé à la notion de « mises en acte » de l’analyste en réaction aux pressions internes et projections inconscientes du patient. Bien entendu, les communications aussi bien conscientes qu’inconscientes de l’analyste suscitent inévitablement des réponses de toutes sortes chez le patient. Cet article traite du processus presque continu de l’influence réciproque – une forme de chorégraphie – entre les deux participants. Certains aspects de la dynamique inconsciente sous-jacente, que cette « chorégraphie » reflète parfois, sont examinés ici.
Interaction des émotions dans la séance analytique
Authors: Levine Howard B. , Hacker Anne-Lise
Published: March 2018

Le travail du processus analytique implique davantage qu’une « cure par la parole ». En plus des communications sémantiques, fondées sur le langage, des facteurs non-verbaux – les émotions, les actions et l’inter-affectivité – entrent en jeu. Ils interviennent inconsciemment – à la fois individuellement, entre les deux participants et en eux – et on ne peut les repérer que de façon intermittente dans un sens provisoire, le plus souvent rétrospectivement. À travers le matériel clinique détaillé qu’il présente, cet article tente de mettre en évidence quelques-uns des marqueurs de surface d’un mouvement lent, labyrinthique qui a suivi son cours pendant de nombreuses années, impliquant à la fois l’analyste et le patient et ayant amené l’analyste à formuler sa compréhension supposée d’une action d’un patient et de la mise en acte associée à celle-ci, à savoir la diminution du nombre des séances hebdomadaires. Le récit sous-jacent à cette formulation comprend l’impact d’expériences et d’événements émotionnels dans la vie de l’analyste qui semblent liés à – et salutaire pour – son travail avec ce patient.
Séances
Authors: Press Jacques
Published: March 2018

L’auteur examine la dialectique complexe s’établissant entre le parcours personnel de l’analyste, sa rencontre avec les patients et la construction de son appareil théorique. Dans son cas, ce parcours lui a permis de prendre en compte l’importance de l’au-delà du principe de plaisir dans la pratique analytique et psychosomatique et l’a conduit à étendre la notion de fonction maternelle de l’analyste (Marty) en la reliant à celle de préoccupation maternelle primaire (Winnicott).
Le silence du psychanalyste
Authors: Sechaud Évelyne
Published: March 2018

Le silence de l’analyste est considéré selon un triple point de vue : comme un refus permettant l’instauration du cadre ; comme un mode de pensée spécifique de l’analyste ; comme lieu de traitement des mouvements pulsionnels.
La Séance unique
Authors: Korff-Sausse Simone
Published: March 2018

Chaque séance est unique. L’auteur voudrait montrer la pertinence de cette idée sur le plan théorique et la justifier dans la clinique. Au-delà des différents cas de figures, elle correspond au modèle psychanalytique privilégiant le hic et nunc , ce qui implique une attitude « sans mémoire », ainsi que la « tolérance à l’inconnu » (W.R. Bion). Si on soustrait la séance de son contexte, d’autres liens associatifs vont apparaître, en réseau, non seulement entre les séances d’un patient, mais aussi entre toutes les séances d’une journée de l’analyste, ou encore entre les séances des différents patients de tel analyste, considérés comme un groupe.

Séance de psychodrame, séance de psychanalyse : similitudes et différences
Authors: Zilkha Nathalie , Ladame François
Published: March 2018

À partir des spécificités du psychodrame que sont le passage par la figuration et le jeu, la mobilisation du corps, la perception, le groupe des cothérapeutes, les auteurs mettent en regard la séance de psychodrame psychanalytique et la séance de psychanalyse. Au-delà des différentes pratiques liées au dispositif de la séance de psychodrame, ils se demandent si, fondamentalement, ces deux séances ne se ressemblent pas plus qu’elles ne diffèrent.
A Conversation about Global Lives in Global History: South Korean overseas travelers and Angolan and Mozambican laborers in East Germany during the Cold War
Authors: C. Schenck Marcia , Kim Jiyoon
Published: March 2018

In this contribution to global mobile lives and scales in global history, Korean cultural studies researcher Jiyoon Kim, University of Tokyo, and German historian Marcia C. Schenck, Princeton University, draw on their respective dissertation research. Experimenting with a conversation style, we discuss the issue of scale in global history and elaborate on what working with subjects who move transnationally through a Cold-War-influenced world means for our projects on, in Schenck’s case, Angolan and Mozambican labor and education migrants to East Germany in the late 1970s and 1980s. As for Kim, she studies South Korean youth travelers and tour participants who journeyed abroad before and after the full liberalization of overseas travel in 1989. Shedding light on two different sides of the iron curtain, the chronological overlap produced similar insights into the “hot cold war” and the importance of the state in relation to mobility. In explicitly discussing global mobile lives of non-elite actors as a methodological approach to the writing of global history, we engage with issues of scale, units, archives, collaboration and the relationship between history and the present for and in which the historian is writing

Le corps du poète dans la poésie arabe médiévale, d’après l’œuvre d’Ibn Ḫafāǧa
Authors: Foulon Brigitte
Published: March 2018

L’œuvre poétique d’Ibn Ḫafāǧa installe une figure du poète que nous aborderons ici uniquement à travers les manifestations du corps. Cette construction intra-discursive participe de l’« ethos auctorial » (Amossy, 2006), image verbale que le locuteur construit de lui-même dans tout discours en général, et dans le discours littéraire en particulier. Si l’objectif visé par cette construction est d’établir une figure exemplaire du poète, cette exemplarité est tributaire des genres cultivés par la tradition poétique arabe et du code transmis par cette dernière. En outre, elle se doit d’être conforme aux normes culturelles en vigueur dans un milieu particulier et restreint, celui des élites politiques et culturelles d’al-Andalus, et en un temps donné, la fin des Taïfas et l’État almoravide. Nous serons amenée à constater que les valeurs véhiculées par cette figure peuvent, à ce titre, s’écarter significativement de celles prévalant, quant au comportement et aux attitudes corporelles, dans d’autres milieux de la société arabo-musulmane.Notre étude se développera essentiellement à partir de 2 axes, dans une approche phénoménologique :– Le corps mis en scène : les âges de la vie, le corps dans l’espace et en mouvement…– Le corps, siège et miroir des émotions : traductions poétiques des réactions physiques aux affects : chagrin, passion, angoisse, émotion esthétique (ṭarab).
الخلافات الزوجية بالمغرب الأدنى خلال العصرين الفاطمي والزيري
Authors: محمود خالد حسين
Published: March 2018

The Study focuses on the stress and dispute relation that
characterized married life of some Eastern Maghribi families during
the Fatimid and Zirid eras. These disputes reflected the role of both
man and woman with the domination of maleness, through battery and
assault. The reasons behind disputes varied due to the general
circumstances of the society under study, but mainly to the material
problems. Different factors were cited behind the various responses of
couples towards disputes and assault. The study explains the role of
relatives, Sheikhs, judges, and men of law in reducing divisiveness,
though their efforts could not rectify all the disputes, which
sometimes continued insoluble till the marital bond was torn apart by
resorting to divorce.
Disséquer l’âme
Authors: Koetschet Pauline
Published: March 2018

Dans cet article, nous cherchons à mieux comprendre comment l’intégrité du corps vivant et mort est abordée par les médecins écrivant en arabe au ixe et xe siècle. L’intégrité du corps est mise en jeu dans deux situations particulières: la protection des cadavres contre la décomposition, et les expériences de dissection et de vivisection. Nous nous intéressons d’abord aux soins prodigués aux cadavres. De nombreux ouvrages juridiques contiennent un chapitre expliquant comment laver les cadavres, mais aussi parfois comment les protéger contre la décomposition. Mais la question fut loin d’intéresser autant les médecins, à l’exception notable d’Abū Bakr al-Rāzī. Il mentionne le problème de la décomposition des cadavres dans le Livre à al-Manṣūr, mais aussi dans l’Épître sur la momie, un traité encore jamais publié ni étudié. Dans un second temps, nous montrons comment les expériences menées sur les corps morts et vivants dans les textes arabes médicaux doivent être comprises dans le contexte d’un vaste débat épistémologique portant sur le rôle de l’expérience, voire de l’expérimentation, dans la méthodologie médicale. Dans la troisième partie, nous comparons les positions prises par al-Rāzī et al-Fārābī face aux expérimentations de Galien sur le cœur et le cerveau. La question de savoir si la vivisection peut aider à comprendre les fonctions des parties du corps revêtit une importance cruciale pour les médecins et les philosophes qui tentèrent de répondre à la question de la localisation de l’âme rationnelle, l’un des débats médico-philosophiques majeurs de la période antique et médiévale.
Communication et éducation au développement durable dans une université française
Authors: Bouzid Dalel , Zizi Amine , Rioux Liliane
Published: March 2018

Cette recherche est à situer dans le cadre de l’axe Enseignement et Durabilité environnementale et sociale de la démarche Responsabilité sociale des universités (RSU) mise en œuvre dans les universités françaises. Elle soulève tout particulièrement la question de la spécificité de la communication en développement durable à l’université et se propose de repérer : le degré de connaissance que les étudiants ont des actions en développement durable menées dans le cadre de leur université, les variables communicationnelles influant sur ce degré de connaissance et les variables classiquement connues pour influer sur l’adoption de comportements pro-environnementaux qui permettent de prédire cette reconnaissance. 102 étudiants, dont 67 femmes, âgés de 18 à 26 ans (M =22,36 ; ET =1.89) ont répondu à un questionnaire en quatre parties : un questionnaire cernant le degré de reconnaissance des actions en développement durable menées à l’université, au cours des six derniers mois ; une échelle d’attachement au lieu ; une échelle d’attitudes environnementales ; et un questionnaire de valeurs. Les résultats montrent que l’association de plusieurs supports de communication ne favorise pas la reconnaissance des actions menées. De plus, le message oral semble brouiller l’information en augmentant le pourcentage d’erreurs. L’analyse de régression multiple que nous avons ensuite menée pointe que l’attachement à l’université, la visibilité de l’action en développement durable et la valeur Altruisme constituent des facteurs explicatifs de la reconnaissance des actions en développement durable dans le cadre universitaire (R = .56 ; F(6, 95) = 10.55 ; p < .001).
Chaîne de l’eau du réseau public dans quelques quartiers précaires du sixième arrondissement de Cotonou-Bénin
Authors: Hounsounou Espérance Olive , Agassounon Djikpo Tchibozo Micheline , Ayi-Fanou Lucie , Agbossou Euloge
Published: March 2018

La population des quartiers précaires de Cotonou aspire à l’eau potable de la Société Nationale des Eaux du Bénin (SONEB) à domicile ; mais les ressources nécessaires n’étant souvent pas disponibles pour y répondre, les opérations de collecte, de transport et de stockage de cette eau se multiplient dans les ménages. L’objectif de l’article est de mettre en évidence les risques de contamination de cette eau le long de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. Une enquête domiciliaire a été faite dans 190 concessions (2 ménages par concession) sur les conditions de collecte, de transport et de stockage de l’eau dans les quartiers précaires du sixième arrondissement de Cotonou. La méthode d’entretien direct suivie des observations a été faite. Les résultats montrent que 91,6 % des enquêtés pratiquent le stockage de l’eau du réseau public ; 82,6 % a recours aux abonnés-revendeurs privés ou aux points publics de vente (kiosque à eau). L’eau est prise au robinet ou à partir des barils sans couverture. À propos des mesures de protection, 68,9 % des récipients de transport sont non couverts alors qu’au niveau des ménages, 89,5 % est couvert durant le stockage. Les sceaux plastiques (70,0 %) et les bassines (2,1 %) sont plus entretenus que les bidons (20,5 %) et les jarres (1,6 %). S’agissant des conditions d’usage, la durée de stockage varie de un jour à sept jours, et les gobelets de consommation sont exposés à toute contamination extérieure. In fine, ces diverses manipulations de l’eau constituent autant de potentiels facteurs de sa contamination et des maladies hydriques.
Corpus de référentiels d’aide à la décision pour la résilience de la production vivrière aux risques climatiques dans la région Maritime au Togo
Authors: Sanou Komi , Badolo Mathieu
Published: March 2018

La résilience des secteurs économiques face aux risques et mutations climatiques constitue un enjeu majeur de développement en Afrique de l’Ouest. Une information scientifique robuste est essentielle pour formuler et mettre en œuvre des stratégies de résilience efficientes et performantes. Pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest, et singulièrement pour le secteur agricole, rendre disponible une telle information est l’un des défis scientifiques majeurs dans l’élaboration des stratégies de résilience. Au Togo, l’agriculture est l’un des secteurs économiques particulièrement concernés par les questions d’amélioration de la résilience face aux risques climatiques et de catastrophes. À défaut, le développement de ce secteur pourrait être lourdement handicapé par les changements climatiques qui vont altérer les régimes des précipitations et accroître la fréquence et l’intensité des événements climatiques extrêmes. Cet article propose un corpus de référentiels d’aide à la décision pour une amélioration de la gouvernance et des processus de résilience du secteur vivrier dans la région Maritime du Togo. Les référentiels reportés se fondent sur le modèle « ClimProspect » qui est basé sur la méthode du jugement d’expert et couplé avec l’approche participative. Cette dernière a consisté en une collecte de données qualitative au moyen de groupes de villageois. Les résultats ont permis d’identifier des référentiels d’impacts, de vulnérabilités (V1, V2, V3 et V4), de suivi de la vulnérabilité et des chemins de résilience, capables de promouvoir, des espaces de concertation des acteurs intervenant dans la production agricole pour définir et mettre en œuvre des chemins innovants de résilience de ce secteur de développement.
Quelle place pour les données issues des sciences humaines et sociales dans le développement de services climatiques régionaux ?
Authors: Gauquelin Chloë , Lutoff Céline , La Branche Stéphane
Published: March 2018

La notion de service climatique, en voie d’émergence dans la recherche sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) et les politiques publiques, renvoie à un ensemble de services visant à venir en aide à la décision en matière d’atténuation et d’adaptation aux changements climatiques. Pour alimenter ces services et les adapter à un territoire spécifique, il est nécessaire de disposer de données régionales provenant à la fois des sciences naturelles et des sciences sociales. Cet article s’interroge sur la production et la gestion de données SHS dans une optique d’intégration dans ces services. Les SHS peuvent produire des données « climato-dépendantes » sur les perceptions de l’aléa climatique, sur les impacts, la vulnérabilité et les actions d’adaptation et d’atténuation, replaçant la question climatique dans son contexte socio-économique. Cet article présente les résultats issus d’une recension de littérature et de 47 entretiens semi-directifs avec des scientifiques en France.
Place et rôle des plantes dans l’imaginaire de Maryse Condé : le cas de Tituba sorcière de Salem
Authors: Chali Jean-Georges
Published: March 2018

La question des représentations et de la symbolique des plantes dans la littérature caribéenne est d’une importance capitale. Il s’agit de comprendre comment le rapport au lieu, et à l’espace impacte l’imaginaire populaire ainsi que le processus scripturaire chez les écrivains porte-paroles de cette pensée et du discours vernaculaire. Il y a lieu de parler d’alchimie du verbe et de transfert de la parole dans le discours romanesque et ou poétique. L’espace forestier, le biotope sont les ingrédients d’analyse du discours littéraire qui faciliteront une lecture nouvelle du texte littéraire et de la poïétique. Cette analyse doit déboucher nécessairement sur ce que nous devrions appeler une géophiliosophie et une "géographie".
Demands–abilities fit, work beliefs, meaningful work and engagement in nature-based jobs
Authors: De Crom Nellie , Rothmann S.
Published: March 2018

Orientation: Meaningful work and personal engagement are important dimensions of flourishing of employees, especially when individuals work in challenging jobs.Research purpose: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between demands–abilities fit, work beliefs, meaningful work and engagement in individuals in nature-based jobs.Motivation for the study: Individuals working in nature often work under challenging circumstances without the necessary resources. A research gap exists regarding the effects of demands–abilities fit and work beliefs on meaningful work. It is also not clear how these antecedents and meaningful work will impact the engagement of individuals working in nature.Research approach, design and method: A cross-sectional survey was used with a convenience sample of 161 nature-based employees. Data were collected using a structured online questionnaire consisting of items from the demands–abilities fit scale, work–life questionnaire, work and meaning Inventory, work engagement scale and a biographical questionnaire.Main findings: Work beliefs (calling, career and job) and demands–abilities fit predicted a large percentage of the variance in meaning making. Work beliefs (calling and job) and demands–abilities fit also predicted a large percentage of the variance in greater good motivations. Demands–abilities fit and a calling work orientation indirectly affected work engagement via meaningful work. The scales which measured calling and job orientations showed insufficient discriminant validity in relation to the scales which measured positive meaning and work engagement.Practical and managerial implications: Managers should consider implementing interventions to affect the demands–abilities fit (through human resource management interventions) and work beliefs of individuals working in nature (through job crafting). Promoting perceptions of meaningful work might contribute to higher personal engagement.Contribution or value-add: This study contributes to scientific knowledge regarding the effects of meaningful work and its antecedents on personal engagement.

Severe floods increase the risk of leptospirosis outbreaks in endemic areas. This study determines the spatial-temporal distribution of leptospirosis in relation to environmental factors after a major flooding event in Kelantan, Malaysia. We conducted an observational ecological study involving incident leptospirosis cases, from the 3 months before, during, and three months after flood, in reference to the severe 2014 Kelantan flooding event. Geographical information system was used to determine the spatial distribution while climatic factors that influenced the cases were also analyzed. A total of 1,229 leptospirosis cases were notified within the three study periods where incidence doubled in the postflood period. Twelve of 66 subdistricts recorded incidence rates of over 100 per 100,000 population in the postflood period, in comparison with only four subdistricts in the preflooding period. Average nearest neighborhood analysis indicated that the cases were more clustered in the postflood period as compared with the preflood period, with observed mean distance of 1,139 meters and 1,666 meters, respectively (both at P < 0.01). Global Moran’s I was higher in the postflood period (0.19; P < 0.01) as compared with the preflood period (0.06; P < 0.01). Geographic weighted regression showed that living close to water bodies increased the risk of contracting the disease. Postflooding hotspots were concentrated in areas where garbage cleanup occurred and the incidence was significantly associated with temperature, humidity, rainfall, and river levels. Postflooding leptospirosis outbreak was associated with several factors. Understanding the spatial distribution and associated factors of leptospirosis can help improve future disease outbreak management after the floods.

Histoplasma capsulatum is the causative agent of histoplasmosis and this fungus inhabits soils rich in phosphorus and nitrogen that are enriched with bird and bat manure. The replacement of organic matter in agroecosystems is necessary in the tropics, and the use of organic fertilizers has increased. Cases and outbreaks due to the presence of the fungus in these components have been reported. The Instituto Colombiano Agropecuario resolution 150 of 2003 contains the parameters set by the Colombian Technical Standard (NTC 5167) on the physicochemical and microbiological features of fertilizers, but it does not regulate the search for H. capsulatum. The aim of this study was to demonstrate H. capsulatum presence in organic fertilizers by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR). A total of 239 samples were collected: 201 (84.1%) corresponded to organic fertilizers, 30 (12.5%) to bird excrement, and 8 (3.4%) to cave soils. The Hc100 nested PCR had a detection limit of 0.1 pg/µL and a specificity of 100%. A total of 25 (10.5%) samples were positive and validated by sequencing. Seven of the positive samples represented locations where H. capsulatum was previously detected, suggesting the persistence of the fungus. No significant correlations were detected between the physicochemical and microbiological parameters with the presence of H. capsulatum by nested PCR, indicating the fungus existence in organic fertilizers that complied with the NTC 5167. The Hc100 nested PCR targeting H. capsulatum standardized in this work will improve the evaluation of organic fertilizers and ensure the prevention of outbreaks and cases due to manufacturing, marketing, and use of fertilizers contaminated with H. capsulatum.
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Practices Associated with Nutritional Status of Under-Five Children in Semi-Pastoral Communities Tanzania
Authors: Mshida Hoyce Amini , Kassim Neema , Mpolya Emmanuel , Kimanya Martin
Published: March 2018

Undernutrition among under-five children is a public health concern in developing countries and has been linked with poor water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices. This study aimed at assessing WASH practices and its association with nutritional status of under-five children in semi-pastoral communities of Arusha. The study was cross-sectional in design. Mother–child pairs from 310 households in four villages of Monduli and Longido were involved. Weight and height of children were measured using weighing scale and length/height board, respectively. Children’s age was recorded using clinic cards. Hemoglobin level of each child was tested using Hemo Cue® Hb 201 + photometer (HemoCue AB, Ängelholm, Sweden) machine. Structured questionnaire was used to gather information on WASH, child morbidity, demographic, and sociocultural characteristics. Prevalence of stunted, underweight, wasted, anemia, and diarrhea were 31.6%, 15.5%, 4.5% 61.2%, and 15.5%, respectively. Children with diarrhea 2 weeks preceding the survey (P = 0.004), children using surface water for domestic purposes (P < 0.001), and those with uneducated mothers (P = 0.001) had increased risk of being stunted and underweight. Children introduced to complementary foods before 6 months of age (P = 0.02) or belonging to polygamous families (P = 0.03) had increased risk of being stunted. Consumption of cow’s milk that is not boiled (P = 0.05) or being a boy (P = 0.03) was associated with underweight. Prevalence of undernutrition among under-five children in the population under study was alarming and it could be associated with poor WASH practices and other sociocultural factors. This study underlines the importance of incorporating WASH strategies in formulation of interventions targeting on promotion of nutrition and disease prevention in pastoral communities.
Modeling reactive ammonia uptake by secondary organic aerosol in CMAQ: application to the continental US
Authors: Zhu Shupeng , Horne Jeremy R. , Montoya-Aguilera Julia , Hinks Mallory L. , Nizkorodov Sergey A. , Dabdub Donald
Published: March 2018

Abstract. Ammonium salts such as ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate constitute an
important fraction of the total fine particulate matter (PM2.5) mass.
While the conversion of inorganic gases into particulate-phase sulfate,
nitrate, and ammonium is now well understood, there is considerable
uncertainty over interactions between gas-phase ammonia and secondary organic
aerosols (SOAs). Observations have confirmed that ammonia can react with
carbonyl compounds in SOA, forming nitrogen-containing organic
compounds (NOCs). This chemistry consumes gas-phase NH3 and may
therefore affect the amount of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate in
particulate matter (PM) as well as particle acidity. In order to investigate
the importance of such reactions, a first-order loss rate for ammonia onto
SOA was implemented into the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model
based on the ammonia uptake coefficients reported in the literature.
Simulations over the continental US were performed for the winter and summer
of 2011 with a range of uptake coefficients (10−3–10−5).
Simulation results indicate that a significant reduction in gas-phase ammonia
may be possible due to its uptake onto SOA; domain-averaged ammonia
concentrations decrease by 31.3 % in the winter and 67.0 % in the summer
with the highest uptake coefficient (10−3). As a result, the
concentration of particulate matter is also significantly affected, with a
distinct spatial pattern over different seasons. PM concentrations decreased
during the winter, largely due to the reduction in ammonium nitrate
concentrations. On the other hand, PM concentrations increased during the
summer due to increased biogenic SOA (BIOSOA) production resulting from
enhanced acid-catalyzed uptake of isoprene-derived epoxides. Since ammonia
emissions are expected to increase in the future, it is important to include
NH3 + SOA chemistry in air quality models.
Thermodynamics of saline and fresh water mixing in estuaries
Authors: Zhang Zhilin , Savenije Hubert H. G.
Published: March 2018

Abstract. The mixing of saline and fresh water is a process of energy dissipation. The
freshwater flow that enters an estuary from the river contains potential
energy with respect to the saline ocean water. This potential energy is able
to perform work. Looking from the ocean to the river, there is a gradual
transition from saline to fresh water and an associated rise in the water
level in accordance with the increase in potential energy. Alluvial estuaries
are systems that are free to adjust dissipation processes to the energy
sources that drive them, primarily the kinetic energy of the tide and the
potential energy of the river flow and to a minor extent the energy in wind
and waves. Mixing is the process that dissipates the potential energy of the
fresh water. The maximum power (MP) concept assumes that this dissipation
takes place at maximum power, whereby the different mixing mechanisms of the
estuary jointly perform the work. In this paper, the power is maximized with
respect to the dispersion coefficient that reflects the combined mixing
processes. The resulting equation is an additional differential equation that
can be solved in combination with the advection–dispersion equation,
requiring only two boundary conditions for the salinity and the dispersion.
The new equation has been confronted with 52 salinity distributions observed
in 23 estuaries in different parts of the world and performs very well.

Abstract. The poorly known correction for the ongoing deformation of the solid Earth caused by glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) is a major uncertainty in determining the mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet from measurements of satellite gravimetry and to a lesser extent satellite altimetry. In the past decade, much progress has been made in consistently modeling ice sheet and solid Earth interactions; however, forward-modeling solutions of GIA in Antarctica remain uncertain due to the sparsity of constraints on the ice sheet evolution, as well as the Earth's rheological properties. An alternative approach towards estimating GIA is the joint inversion of multiple satellite data – namely, satellite gravimetry, satellite altimetry and GPS, which reflect, with different sensitivities, trends in recent glacial changes and GIA. Crucial to the success of this approach is the accuracy of the space-geodetic data sets. Here, we present reprocessed rates of surface-ice elevation change (Envisat/Ice, Cloud,and land Elevation Satellite, ICESat; 2003–2009), gravity field change (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, GRACE; 2003–2009) and bedrock uplift (GPS; 1995–2013). The data analysis is complemented by the forward modeling of viscoelastic response functions to disc load forcing, allowing us to relate GIA-induced surface displacements with gravity changes for different rheological parameters of the solid Earth. The data and modeling results presented here are available in the PANGAEA database (https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.875745). The data sets are the input streams for the joint inversion estimate of present-day ice-mass change and GIA, focusing on Antarctica. However, the methods, code and data provided in this paper can be used to solve other problems, such as volume balances of the Antarctic ice sheet, or can be applied to other geographical regions in the case of the viscoelastic response functions. This paper presents the first of two contributions summarizing the work carried out within a European Space Agency funded study: Regional glacial isostatic adjustment and CryoSat elevation rate corrections in Antarctica (REGINA).
Patterns and comparisons of human-induced changes in river flood impacts in cities
Authors: Clark Stephanie , Sharma Ashish , Sisson Scott A.
Published: March 2018

Abstract. In this study, information extracted from the first global urban fluvial flood risk data set (Aqueduct) is investigated and visualized to explore current and projected city-level flood impacts driven by urbanization and climate change. We use a novel adaption of the self-organizing map (SOM) method, an artificial neural network proficient at clustering, pattern extraction, and visualization of large, multi-dimensional data sets. Prevalent patterns of current relationships and anticipated changes over time in the nonlinearly-related environmental and social variables are presented, relating urban river flood impacts to socioeconomic development and changing hydrologic conditions. Comparisons are provided between 98 individual cities. Output visualizations compare baseline and changing trends of city-specific exposures of population and property to river flooding, revealing relationships between the cities based on their relative map placements. Cities experiencing high (or low) baseline flood impacts on population and/or property that are expected to improve (or worsen), as a result of anticipated climate change and development, are identified and compared. This paper condenses and conveys large amounts of information through visual communication to accelerate the understanding of relationships between local urban conditions and global processes.
ACTIVATION ENERGIES OF THERMO-OXIDIZED NITRILE RUBBER COMPOUNDS OF VARYING ACRYLONITRILE CONTENT
Authors: Pazur Richard J. , Mengistu T.
Published: March 2018

The thermo-oxidative behavior of carbon black–reinforced sulfur-cured nitrile rubber compounds with varying acrylonitrile (ACN) content (18–49 wt%) was investigated. Accelerated heat aging was carried out from 40 °C to 115 °C for various aging times. Ambient aging was also included. Samples were tested for hardness, 10% tensile stress, tensile strength, elongation at break, network chain density by equilibrium solvent swell, and toluene-soluble fraction. Diffusion-limited oxidation affected data at high temperatures and was eliminated for time-temperature superposition. Linear Arrhenius kinetic behavior was confirmed throughout the whole temperature range, and calculated activation energies varied from 75 to 93 kJ/mol. Activation energies calculated through the hardness data were found to increase steadily with ACN concentration, whereas the other test responses showed less direct correlation, likely because of the influence of the underlying NBR microstructure, which changes as a function of ACN content. The high-temperature thermo-oxidative process consists of both oxidative crosslinking and chain scission reactions. Sulfur reversion and alkyl radical recombination reactions are likely prevalent at low temperatures during the buildup of hydroperoxides up to 60 °C. The shelf life of nitrile rubbers strongly depends on their ACN level, with lower ACN nitriles being more susceptible to degradation, leading to shorter shelf lives, than higher ACN-containing nitriles.

Air pollution is a severe health issue having both morbidity and mortality effects to human beings. Pulp and paper milling characteristically emits many pollutants key among them Particulate Matter (PM) which is a lethal pollutant irrespective of the particulate diameter. Evidence shows that breathing air containing PM aggravates respiratory and cardiac mortality and morbidity, while precipitating adverse respiratory health outcomes such as asthma, lung function decline, lung cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This study sought to provide empirical evidence on health morbidity effects occasioned by PM10 of pulp and paper milling as a single source pollutant to a rural population in a developing country such as Kenya. This evidence includes prevalence of respiratory symptoms and relationship between exposure to pollutant and morbidity (sickness events). This was achieved through observational population-based cohort study. The study found positive association between PM10 concentration and prevalence of respiratory symptoms. The study found that a marginal increase of PM10 occasions a 12% increase in persistent cough prevalence. Similarly, common cold increased by 92% while wheezing increased by 22% all other factors remaining constant. the study concludes that Webuye environs exhibits high prevalence of respiratory diseases. Regarding morbidity effect of ambient air pollution, the study concludes that there is a positive significant relationship between chronic exposure to PM10 and respiratory symptoms.

In order to ensure the ex-situ conservation of a species, knowing the behavior of the seed during storage is necessary, as it is influenced by several factors inherent to the seed and by characteristics of the environment, such as temperature and relative humidity. This study aimed to evaluate the physiological and biochemical alterations on Cedrela fissilis (pink cedar) seeds during storage under different environmental conditions. Seeds were stored at 20ºC in desiccators containing salts that established the relative humidity of 34%, 55%, 75%, and 93%. Analysis were performed on fresh seeds (without storage - time zero), which were used as control, and every two months through a period of eight months of storage. At each assessment, the following aspects were quantified: water content; lipid peroxidation; and the activities of catalase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. Germination and electrical conductivity tests were analysed. Seed vigor decreased on humidity at 20 °C. It correlated mainly with decrease of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and increase of lipid peroxidation.Keywords: Pink cedar; germination; vigor; enzymes, lipids. ResumoAlterações fisiológicas e bioquímicas durante o armazenamento de sementes de Cedrela fissilis Vellozo. Para garantir a conservação ex-situ de uma espécie, é necessário conhecer o comportamento das sementes durante o armazenamento, visto que este é influenciado por vários fatores inerentes à semente e às características do ambiente, tais como temperatura e umidade relativa. Este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar as alterações fisiológicas e bioquímicas em sementes de Cedrela fissilis (cedro rosa) durante o armazenamento sob diferentes condições ambientais. As sementes foram armazenadas a 20ºC em dessecadores contendo sais que estabeleceram as umidades relativas do ar de 34%, 55%, 75% e 93%. As análises foram realizadas em sementes frescas (sem armazenamento - tempo zero), usadas como controle, e a cada dois meses durante um período de oito meses de armazenamento. Em cada avaliação, foram quantificados: teor de água; peroxidação de lípidos; e as atividades das enzimas catalase e glicose-6-fosfato desidrogenase. Também, foi analisada a germinação e condutividade elétrica das sementes. O vigor das sementes diminuiu em todas as umidades a 20 °C, correlacionando-se, principalmente, com a diminuição na atividade de glicose-6-fosfato desidrogenase e com o aumento na peroxidação lipídica.Palavras-chave: Cedro rosa; germinação; vigor; enzimas, lipídios.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a deposição de serapilheira e nutrientes sob diferentes métodos de restauração florestal em áreas degradadas pela mineração de bauxita no município de Paragominas, Pará. Os métodos utilizados para restauração florestal foram: plantio de mudas arbóreas (PM) e indução da regeneração natural (RN), além disso, avaliou-se um fragmento florestal (FF) como referência. Foram instalados 30 coletores de serapilheira de 0,25 m² de abertura em cada ambiente. A serapilheira foi coletada, seca em estufa e quantificada mensalmente de agosto de 2014 a setembro de 2015. Posteriormente, todo material foi analisado quimicamente para obtenção das concentrações dos elementos N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu e Zn. Por meio dos valores das concentrações, foram obtidos os valores dos conteúdos. A deposição de serapilheira foi de 6,61±0,53, 10,75±0,86 e 11,83±1,00 Mg ha-1 ano-1 no PM, FF e RN respectivamente, diferindo estatisticamente entre si (p=0,0025). As concentrações de N, P, K, Mg e Ca foram superiores na área de PM na maioria dos meses de avaliação devido às adubações de pré-plantio. O S foi o elemento que mais variou entre as áreas de estudo. Com relação aos micronutrientes, o Cu, Fe, Zn e Mn tiveram as menores concentrações no FF e o Mn as maiores concentrações no ecossistema RN. Os conteúdos de N e K da serapilheira foram superiores nos ecossistemas RN, não diferindo do FF. A RN foi o método mais eficiente de restauração. A serapilheira é um bom indicador de restauração de áreas degradadas.

Published: March 2018

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência de combate aos incêndios florestais em unidades de conservação brasileiras no período de 2008 a 2012. Foram utilizados três parâmetros principais para se avaliar a eficiência de combate: a área queimada, em que se avaliou a eficiência, distribuindo os incêndios ocorridos por classes de tamanho, e se observou a área queimada média por incêndio; o tempo para o ataque e sua distribuição por classe de tempo, em que se avaliou a eficiência de mobilização dos combatentes em termos de média de tempo desde a detecção até o primeiro ataque por incêndio; e o tempo de combate, em que se avaliou o tempo médio de combate e sua distribuição por classe de tempo de combate. No período analisado, o Brasil apresentou uma baixa eficiência de combate. A área queimada média em unidades de conservação brasileiras, neste período, foi de 613,61 ha. O tempo médio para ataque e o tempo médio de combate foram, respectivamente, de 194,82 e 1.012,51 minutos. A principal dificuldade no estudo foi a falta de preenchimento completo dos Registros de Ocorrências de Incêndios (ROI).
Volatility Spillover Analysis Post Implementation of AEC 2015 Agreement: Empirical Study on ASEAN-5 Stock Market
Authors: Panjaitan Yunia , Saadah Siti
Published: March 2018

Efforts to improve financial integration that continue to be implemented after the implementation of the Asean Economic Community 2015 agreement, can encourage increased integration of capital markets in countries within the region. This study was conducted to investigate the spillover of volatility between stock markets that accompanied the ongoing efforts of financial integration carried out by ASEAN member countries. Investigation of volatility spillover is done by applying Exponential GARCH method on time series daily data of stock return of ASEAN-5 countries period September 2016 - December 20, 2017. If previous studies found significant spillover of volatility from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Philippines, the results of this study show that only Singapore's stock exchanges consistently have a significant impact on the Indonesian stock market. The turmoil in the Singapore stock market will be consistently transmitted to the Indonesian stock market. However, efforts to improve the financial integration carried out by ASEAN member countries have not consistently caused the turmoil in Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines stock exchange to be transmitted to the Indonesian stock market.
