This study aims to provide empirical evidence on earnings management practices on manufacturing companies listed in Indonesian Stock Market before and after IFRS convergence (2007-2011). Accrual earnings management (the level of discretionary accruals) and real earnings management (abnormal cash flow from operation, abnormal production costs, and abnormal discretionary expenses) are observed to analyze earnings management practices. Data was retrieved using the purposive sampling method and tested with paired sample t-test and correlation test. The results empirically showed that there was no difference between accrual earnings management before and after the IFRS convergence. Additionally, real earnings management also showed that there was no difference between before and after the IFRS convergence. Other results also showed that there was no relationship between management interchangeable accrual earnings and real earnings management after convergence of IFRS. The implications of this research provided information to the users of financial statements, especially shareholders and investors to increase the awareness of the opportunities of accrual earnings management and real earnings management through manipulation of the cash flow, sales and production cost by management.

"UM VOTO QUALQUER"? O PAPEL DO MINISTRO RELATOR NA DELIBERAÇÃO NO SUPREMO TRIBUNAL FEDERAL
Authors: Afonso da Silva Virgílio
Published: October 2016

No Supremo Tribunal Federal, o papel do ministro relator não foi ainda objeto de estudo mais detido. A percepção mais difundida é a de que o ministro relator, por ser o ministro que mais se ocupa do caso, teria papel preponderante. Estatísticas mostram que o relator costuma ser seguido na esmagadora maioria das decisões do STF. Mas, para além dos números, pouco se sabe qual é a influência do relator e de seu voto no processo de deliberação nos casos mais polêmicos, que chamam mais a atenção tanto da comunidade jurídica quanto do grande público e da imprensa. Na medida em que nesses casos - ao contrário do que ocorre normalmente - todos os ministros costumam levar seus votos prontos para a sessão de julgamento, é possível supor que o papel e o grau de influência do relator seja diferente do usual. Este artigo é parte dos resultados de uma pesquisa que pretende compreender o que os próprios ministros do STF pensam da prática deliberativa e decisória desse tribunal.

Published: October 2016

La degradación de los recursos naturales genera la necesidad de recuperarlos mediante estrategias de restauración ecológica, para lo cual, es necesario identificar de manera sencilla las zonas a restaurar y priorizar las actividades a realizar. El objetivo de este trabajo fue utilizar la evaluación multicriterio para identificar las áreas prioritarias que necesitan ser restauradas en la región Chignahuapan-Zacatlán, Puebla; así como determinar mediante teledetección los sitios de referencia para las zonas identificadas para su restauración. Se utilizó el Proceso Analítico Jerarquizado en un entorno de sistemas de información geográfica para definir prioridades de atención. Para esto, se consideraron 12 criterios ambientales y se incorporó el conocimiento de 21 expertos en restauración ecológica a través de matrices de comparación pareada. Los sitios de referencia se determinaron mediante la clasificación supervisada de imágenes de satélite y la exclusión de las áreas con algún tipo de perturbación. Los resultados indican que cerca de 80% de la superficie se clasificó con algún nivel de prioridad a restauración. A pesar de esto, solamente 0.8% se clasificó con prioridad máxima a restaurar. Por otro lado, la superficie con potencial para servir de referencia es de 4753 ha. Además, se generaron mapas de las zonas que necesitan atención prioritaria en restauración ecológica y de los sitios de referencia; lo anterior favorece una planificación eficaz de las áreas a restaurar.

Authors: Polit’ko Valentin Aleksandrovich , Kantarzhi Igor’ Grigor’evich
Published: October 2016

Safety and reliability factors, assumed in Russian and international standards, as well as the main provisions of design of offshore oil and gas structures are considered in the article. The reasons for structures destruction are classified. The analysis showed that the main design provisions and methodology of calculations related to provision of safe and reliable operation of offshore oil and gas structures by different standards are not fundamentally different: the required degree of reliability of the structure is set depending on the social and economic consequences of possible hydrodynamic accidents; calculations are based on the limit states design method using partial safety factors; etc. However, the factors accounting the degree of the structure reliability, partial safety coefficients and load combinations coefficients differ in different standards and methodologies.

Published: October 2016

In the recent years there appeared a tendency of widening the use of composite reinforced concrete structures in Russian construction practice, which keeps current the further investigations of their stress-strain state. In order to estimate the stress-strain state of composite reinforced concrete structures different methods are used: both analytical and experimental. In spite of material and labour costs field tests give the most correct indexes of the behavior of structures in actual operating conditions. The experimental investigations of composite reinforced concrete floors of civil buildings having considerable slenderness allow exploring new qualitative data of their stress-strain state. The authors offer the analysis of experimental investigations of composite reinforced concrete structures, in particular, composite reinforced concrete floor. They described geometrical and physical parameters of a test piece, the methods of measurements and tests, the experiment’s results are analyzed. The charts of flexure, stress blocks and distribution of moments are offered. The authors also give the results of numerical experiments and comparisons of stress-strain state of composite reinforced concrete floor with the results of field tests and their analysis.

Authors: Rodionova Svetlana Vladimirovna
Published: October 2016

N the conditions of economical instability accompanying the change of technological modes and generation of «economy of knowledge” the stable competitive advantages of organization may be formed only on an innovative basis. Implementation of innovations in equipment and technology is accompanied, and sometimes even reasoned, by organizational innovations, which are the basis of organizational development of modern enterprises. Although there is a sufficient number of investigations in the field, the problems of justification of the criteria and estimation of organizational innovations’ efficiency don’t have a generally accepted solution, which takes into account the specific character of this type of innovations.In the article the methods of efficiency estimation for organizational innovation on an enterprise are developed. The methods are based on multicriteria optimization of efficiency indicators of organizational communications, which are changing at implementing innovations. The communicational approach is justified, which is the basis for organizational innovations implementation in an enterprise as a social-econoomic system, the key criteria are identified and the algorithm for efficiency estimation for organizational innovations in frames of the communicative approach is developed. Application of the suggested methodological approach contributes to the reasoned planning and implementation of organizational innovations into an enterprise activity.

Planning and implementation of innovations on the microlevel of management and on the higher levels is a process of innovative projects portfolio implementation. Project management is aimed at some goal; therefore, defining the mission and aims of implementation is of primary importance. These are the part of the notion of development strategy of an enterprise. Creating a strategy for big construction holding companies is complicated by the necessity to account for different factors effecting each business-block and subsidiary companies. The authors specify an algorithm of development and implementation of the activity strategy of a big construction enterprise. A special importance of the correspondence of organizational management structure to the implemented strategy is shown. The innovative character of organizational structure change is justified. The authors offer methods to optimize the organizational management structure based on communication approach with the use of the elements graph theory. The offered methodological provisions are tested on the example of the Russian JSC “RZhDstroy”.

Published: October 2016

Introduction. Recent studies have shown a growing correlation between
violence and mental illness, but there is a higher risk of violent crimes
only in certain cases of mental disorders. This study presents
sociodemographic and psychiatric characteristics of homicide offenders in
Serbia, in the Province of Vojvodina in a 10-year period (1996-2005).
Material and Methods. The obtained data are based on performed forensic and
psychiatric expert investigations of 154 homicide offenders in preceding
period, considering sociodemographic data, personal history and current
psychiatric status. Data were analyzed using the statistical John?s Macintosh
programe. Results. The male offenders were in the great majority (92%) as
well as a low level of education (87%). A positive history of criminal acts
was found in 24% of the subjects. Minority of subjects (21%) consumed alcohol
on a daily basis. At the time of committing the crimes, 57% of homicide
offenders were under the influence of alcohol, and just 2% of other
psychoactive substances. Among the offenders who had previously received
psychiatric treatment (31.2%), the most frequent diagnosis was alcohol
addiction (25%) and anxiety disorders (22.9%). During the psychiatric
examination 70.8% of the subjects were diagnosed with mental disorder:
personality disorders (41%), alcohol addiction (84%), neurotic disorders
(65%), schizophrenic psychosis (5.2%), affective disorders (3.2%), paranoid
psychosis (2.6%), organic disorders (19%), psychoactive drug addiction (13%)
and mental retardation (0.6%). Emotionally unstable personality disorder was
dominant among personality disorders (55.6%). Diminished mental competency
was established in 77.9% of subjects at the time of the homicide, being
rather sever in most of them. All those diagnosed to have a psychotic
disorder were mentally incompetent. Conclusion. Emotionally unstable
disorders were the most common among the offenders who underwent forensic
evaluation. A relatively low presence of psychotic disorders imposes the need
for destigmatization particularly of the patients suffering from major mental
illnesses.

OBJECTIVE To characterize the epidemiological, clinical, and echocardiographic features of dogs and cats with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and determine their survival times.

DESIGN Retrospective case series.

ANIMALS 15 dogs and 16 cats with a diagnosis of TOF as determined via echocardiography.

PROCEDURES Medical records of dogs and cats were reviewed to extract information on signalment, clinical status at the time of TOF diagnosis, echocardiographic findings, and any outcome data.

RESULTS The most common canine breeds were terrier types (n = 7). Most animals (28/31 [90%]) had clinical signs of TOF at the time of diagnosis, including cyanosis (16/31 [52%]). Pulmonic stenosis was characterized by a variable systolic Doppler-derived pressure gradient (median [range], 108 mm Hg [26 to 255 mm Hg]). Most ventricular septal defects were large, with a median (range) ratio of the diameter of the ventricular septal defect to that of the aorta of 0.60 (0.18 to 1.15). Median age at cardiac-related death was 23.4 months, with no significant difference between dogs and cats. Median survival time from TOF diagnosis to cardiac-related death was briefer for animals with no or low-grade heart murmur (3.4 months) than for those with higher-grade heart murmur (16.4 months). After adjustment for age and sex, having a lack of or a low- to mild-grade systolic heart murmur was significantly associated with a briefer survival time.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE With a few exceptions, cardiac-related death occurred predominantly in young adult dogs and cats with TOF, and most animals had severe clinical signs at the time of TOF diagnosis.
The Local Explanatory Model: A Study of Assumed Causes of Tuberculosis in Rural Nepal
Authors: Engelbrektsson Ulla-Britt , Subedi Madhusudan
Published: October 2016

Tuberculosis (TB) constitutes one of the major public health problems in Nepal. Our theoretical framework, in this paper, is to explore people's understanding of the culturally constructed reality, the local explanatory model, for causes of Tuberculosis. The ethnographic data were collected from 'Solubang' village of Pyuthan district in 2005 and 2012/13. The finding shows that assumed and suggested cause(s) of TB are multiple but most often within a framework of great uncertainty. Compared to 2005, people were better aware of the need for timely treatment in 2012/13. The arrival of the biomedical anti-TB medicines has changed the situation for the better and is widely recognized but perception on causes of TB and its prevalence have not changed drastically, and mortality rates have not decreased at the speed hoped for.
Gender Perspective to Vedic Education: Current Practices in Nepal
Authors: Timilsina Rajendra Raj
Published: October 2016

Vedic civilization has seen changes in its history- from Satya Yug to current Kali Yug. There were equal rights and duties of both men and women at the beginning. Interpretations of Veda, brought out of the Puranas and externalities made the status unequal. Sanatan Dharma, which is still mainstream of Hinduism, has been challenged by reformist Arya Samaj. As a result, there are interpretive differences as well as practices. Such differences can be seen in contemporary Nepal for the last 130 years. Continuing the differences, classicism has been reviving in the education. This revival also commenced with the same dualism. In this qualitative approach of exploration, two different gurukuls of girls have been observed and analyzed from the field for the purpose of exploring the recent practices. The observation was based on respective scriptures as well as experts' interviews. These data have analyzed the confronting practices on gender in Veda and rooted ideas in contemporary Nepal.

Published: October 2016

A new superelastic Ti‐23Hf‐3Mo‐4Sn biomedical alloy displaying a particularly large recovery strain was synthesized and characterized in this study. Its native passive film is very thick (18 nm) and contains very protective TiO2, Ti2O3, HfO2, MoO2, and SnO2 oxides (XPS analysis). This alloy revealed nobler electrochemical behavior, more favorable values of the corrosion parameters and open circuit potentials in simulated body fluid in comparison with commercially pure titanium (CP‐Ti) and Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy taken as reference biomaterials in this study. This is due to the favorable influence of the alloying elements Hf, Sn, Mo, which enhance the protective properties of the native passive film on alloy surface. Impedance spectra showed a passive film with two layers, an inner, capacitive, barrier, dense layer and an outer, less insulating, porous layer that confer both high corrosion resistance and bioactivity to the alloy. In vitro tests were carried out in order to evaluate the response of Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVECs) to Ti‐23Hf‐3Mo‐4Sn alloy in terms of cell viability, cell proliferation, phenotypic marker expression and nitric oxide release. The results indicate a similar level of cytocompatibility with HUVEC cells cultured on Ti‐23Hf‐3Mo‐4Sn substrate and those cultured on the conventional CP‐Ti and Ti‐6Al‐4V metallic materials.
Flexible, Penetrating Brain Probes Enabled by Advances in Polymer Microfabrication
Authors: Weltman Ahuva , Yoo James , Meng Ellis
Published: October 2016

The acquisition of high-fidelity, long-term neural recordings in vivo is critically important to advance neuroscience and brain–machine interfaces. For decades, rigid materials such as metal microwires and micromachined silicon shanks were used as invasive electrophysiological interfaces to neurons, providing either single or multiple electrode recording sites. Extensive research has revealed that such rigid interfaces suffer from gradual recording quality degradation, in part stemming from tissue damage and the ensuing immune response arising from mechanical mismatch between the probe and brain. The development of “soft” neural probes constructed from polymer shanks has been enabled by advancements in microfabrication; this alternative has the potential to mitigate mismatch-related side effects and thus improve the quality of recordings. This review examines soft neural probe materials and their associated microfabrication techniques, the resulting soft neural probes, and their implementation including custom implantation and electrical packaging strategies. The use of soft materials necessitates careful consideration of surgical placement, often requiring the use of additional surgical shuttles or biodegradable coatings that impart temporary stiffness. Investigation of surgical implantation mechanics and histological evidence to support the use of soft probes will be presented. The review concludes with a critical discussion of the remaining technical challenges and future outlook.

Published: October 2016

This study aimed to determine thresholds for percentage of body fat (BF%) corresponding to the cut-off values for overweight/obesity as recommended by the International Obesity Task Force (IOTF), using two bioelectrical impedance analyzers (BIA), and described the likelihood of increased cardiometabolic risk in our cohort deﬁned by the IOTF and BF% status. Participants included 1165 children and adolescents (54.9% girls) from Bogotá (Colombia). Body mass index (BMI) was calculated from height and weight. BF% of each youth was assessed ﬁrst using the Tanita BC-418® followed by a Tanita BF-689®. The sensitivity and speciﬁcity of both devices and their ability to correctly classify children as overweight/obesity (≥2 standard deviation), as deﬁned by IOTF, was investigated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) by sex and age groups (9–11, 12–14, and 13–17 years old); Area under curve (AUC) values were also reported. For girls, the optimal BF% threshold for classifying into overweight/obesity was found to be between 25.2 and 28.5 (AUC = 0.91–0.97) and 23.9 to 26.6 (AUC = 0.90–0.99) for Tanita BC-418® and Tanita BF-689®, respectively. For boys, the optimal threshold was between 16.5 and 21.1 (AUC = 0.93–0.96) and 15.8 to 20.6 (AUC = 0.92–0.94) by Tanita BC-418® and Tanita BF-689®, respectively. All AUC values for ROC curves were statistically signiﬁcant and there were no differences between AUC values measured by both BIA devices. The BF% values associated with the IOTF-recommended BMI cut-off for overweight/obesity may require age- and sex-speciﬁc threshold values in Colombian children and adolescents aged 9–17 years and could be used as a surrogate method to identify individuals at risk of excess adiposity.
Total Water Intake from Beverages and Foods Is Associated with Energy Intake and Eating Behaviors in Korean Adults
Authors: Lee Kyung , Shin Dayeon , Song Won
Published: October 2016

Water is essential for the proper functioning of the body. Even though a recommendation exists for adequate water intake for Koreans, studies identifying actual water intake from all beverages and foods consumed daily in the Korean population are limited. Thus, we estimated total water intake from both beverages and foods and its association with energy intake and eating behaviors in Korean adults. We used a nationally representative sample of 25,122 Korean adults aged ≥19 years, from the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2008–2012. We performed multiple regression analyses, adjusting for sociodemographic and health-related variables to investigate the contribution of overall energy and dietary intakes and eating behaviors to total water intake. The mean total water intake excluding plain water was 1071 g (398 g from beverages and 673 g from foods) and the estimated plain water intake was 1.3 L. Among Korean adults, 82% consumed beverages (excluding plain water) and these beverages contributed to 10% of daily energy intake and 32% of total water intake from beverages and foods. For every 100 kcal/day in energy intake, water intake consumed through beverages and foods increased by 18 g and 31 g, respectively. Water intake from beverages and foods was positively associated with energy from fat and dietary calcium, but inversely associated with energy density and energy from carbohydrates. When there was a 5% increase in energy intake from snacks and eating outside the home, there was an increase in water intake from beverages of 13 g and 2 g, respectively. Increased daily energy intake, the number of eating episodes, and energy intake from snacks and eating outside the home predicted higher water intake from beverages and foods. Our results provide evidence suggesting that various factors, including sociodemographic status, dietary intakes, and eating behaviors, could be important contributors to the water intake of Korean adults. Findings from this cross-sectional analysis may provide insight into strategies for promoting adequate water intake among Koreans.
An Exploration of the Metal Dependent Selectivity of a Metalloporphyrins Coated Quartz Microbalances Array
Authors: Catini Alexandro , Kumar Raj , Capuano Rosamaria , Martinelli Eugenio , Paolesse Roberto , Di Natale Corrado
Published: October 2016

Several studies in the last two decades have demonstrated that metalloporphyrins coated quartz microbalances can be fruitfully used in many diverse applications, spanning from medical diagnosis to environmental control. This large versatility is due to the combination of the ﬂexibility of metalloporphyrins molecular design with the independence of the quartz microbalance signal from the interaction mechanisms. The nature of the metal atom in the metalloporphyrins is often indicated as one of the most effective tools to design differently selective sensors. However, the properties of sensors are also strongly affected by the characteristics of the transducer. In this paper, the role of the metal atom is investigated studying the response, to various volatile compounds, of six quartz microbalance sensors that are based on the same porphyrin but with different metals. Results show that, since quartz microbalances (QMB) transducers can sense all the interactions between porphyrin and volatile compounds, the metal ion does not completely determine the sensor behaviour. Rather, the sensors based on the same molecular ring but with different metal ions show a non-negligible common behaviour. However, even if limited, the different metals still confer peculiar properties to the sensors and might drive the sensor array identiﬁcation of the pool of tested volatile compounds.
Redox Dynamics and Oxygen Reduction Rates of Inﬁltrating Urban Stormwater beneath Low Impact Development (LID)
Authors: Danfoura Mays , Gurdak Jason
Published: October 2016

Low impact development (LID) best management practices (BMPs) collect, inﬁltrate, and treat stormwater runoff, and increase recharge to aquifers. Understanding the controls on reduction/oxidation (redox) conditions within LID BMPs is important for groundwater management because outﬂow from some LID BMPs can recharge aquifers and affect groundwater quality. Here we evaluate redox conditions of urban stormwater runoff in a LID inﬁltration trench in San Francisco, California, and quantify the relation between water saturation (%) and temperature (◦C) and resulting dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations, redox dynamics, and O2 reduction rates. The DO ﬂuctuations ha ve an inverse response to the duration of saturation of the trench. Anoxic (<0.5 mg/L) conditions often occurred within hours of stormwater events and persisted from a few hours to two days, which indicate that microbial respiration can be a limiting factor for DO. Temperature of stormwater runoff was not a statistically signiﬁcant control on DO. The estimated O2 reduction rate is 0.003mg·L-1·min-1, which is two to ﬁve orders of magnitude higher than in groundwater from previous studies. Higher rates of O2 reduction are a function of the more toxic and organic-rich stormwater runoff that drives faster microbial O2 reduction. Our ﬁndings have important implications for the design of inﬁltration trenches and other LID BMPs to achieve desired redox conditions for inﬁltrating stormwater toward minimizing groundwater contamination.
MicroRNA-509-3p Inhibits Cancer Cell Proliferation and Migration via Upregulation of XIAP in Gastric Cancer Cells

Published: October 2016

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most common cancer globally. Recently, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been suggested to be closely associated with tumorigenesis. Aberrant expression of miR-509-3p has been reported in cancer studies. However, the expression and mechanism of its function in
GC remain unclear. Here we showed that miR-509-3p was downregulated in GC specimens, which was associated with overall survival. Functional investigations demonstrated that the overexpression of miR-509-3p inhibited the migration and proliferation of the GC cells. Additionally, we identified
X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) as a direct target of miR-509-3p. Knockdown of XIAP significantly attenuated the ability of proliferation, migration, and invasion of GC cells. The data therefore suggest that miR-509-3p plays an important role in the development and progression
of GC, implicating possible applications in the clinic as a biomarker and a potential new target.

Published: October 2016

The detection of complex organic molecules (COMs) toward cold sources such as pre-stellar cores (with T < 10 K) has challenged our understanding of the formation processes of COMs in the interstellar medium. Recent modeling on COM chemistry at low temperatures has provided new insight into these processes predicting that COM formation depends strongly on parameters such as visual extinction and the level of CO freeze out. We report deep observations of COMs toward two positions in the L1544 pre-stellar core: the dense, highly extinguished continuum peak with A

V
 ≥ 30 mag within the inner 2700 au; and a low-density shell with average A

V
 ∼ 7.5–8 mag located at 4000 au from the core’s center and bright in CH3OH. Our observations show that CH3O, CH3OCH3, and CH3CHO are more abundant (by factors of ∼2–10) toward the low-density shell than toward the continuum peak. Other COMs such as CH3OCHO, c-C3H2O, HCCCHO, CH2CHCN, and HCCNC show slight enhancements (by factors ≤3), but the associated uncertainties are large. This suggests that COMs are actively formed and already present in the low-density shells of pre-stellar cores. The modeling of the chemistry of O-bearing COMs in L1544 indicates that these species are enhanced in this shell because (i) CO starts freezing out onto dust grains driving an active surface chemistry; (ii) the visual extinction is sufficiently high to prevent the UV photo-dissociation of COMs by the external interstellar radiation field; and (iii) the density is still moderate to prevent severe depletion of COMs onto grains.
CHROMOSPHERIC EMISSION OF PLANET CANDIDATE HOST STARS: A WAY TO IDENTIFY FALSE POSITIVES
Authors: Karoff Christoffer , Albrecht Simon , Bonanno Alfio , Knudsen Mads Faurschou
Published: October 2016

It has been hypothesized that the presence of closely orbiting giant planets is associated with enhanced chromospheric emission of their host stars. The main cause for such a relation would likely be enhanced dynamo action induced by the planet. We present measurements of chromospheric emission in 234 planet candidate systems from the Kepler mission. This ensemble includes 37 systems with giant-planet candidates, which show a clear emission enhancement. The enhancement, however, disappears when systems that are also identified as eclipsing binary candidates are removed from the ensemble. This suggests that a large fraction of the giant-planet candidate systems with chromospheric emission stronger than the Sun are not giant-planet systems, but false positives. Such false-positive systems could be tidally interacting binaries with strong chromospheric emission. This hypothesis is supported by an analysis of 188 eclipsing binary candidates that show increasing chromospheric emission as function of decreasing orbital period.

Au cœur du Centre Pompidou, la Bibliothèque publique d'information. Immense réservoir de documents de toute nature - livres, journaux, photographies, disques, films - et sur tous les sujets, complété par une Salle d'Actualité consacrée à la présentation des dernières parutions, cette médiathèque d'un genre nouveau accueille chaque jour plusieurs milliers de personnes qui viennent y puiser librement, au gré de leurs désirs ou de leurs besoins. Cela méritait bien une enquête sociologique. Qui sont ces visiteurs, et diffèrent-ils vraiment de ceux que l'on rencontre ailleurs ? La levée des barrages matériels de prix, d'horaires, d'accès aux documents et aux œuvres entraîne-t-elle une réduction des inégalités de la fréquentation culturelle ? Qu'en est-il de la concurrence entre les média : dans une situation où tous sont proposés à égalité, profite-t-elle à l'image au détriment du texte ? Y a-t-il un effet direct de la manière d'offrir sur la manière de consommer, et suffit-il de proposer le mélange des documents et des sujets pour que les gens pratiquent le mélange des genres ? Les visiteurs ne se coulent que partiellement dans les moules prévus par les bibliothécaires, et cultivent alternativement le savoir-faire et l'imprévu. Les tactiques les plus personnelles valent parfois les stratégies les plus rationnelles. Sans compter les mille et une façons de s'approprier symboliquement ou matériellement des documents par définition inappropriables puisque propriété de tous et consultables seulement sur place ; et les mille et une façons de privatiser cet espace public qu'il faut bien se résoudre à partager avec d'autres.

Ce colloque, qui s’est tenu le 6 décembre 2001, est le troisième du genre organisé par l’Observatoire permanent de la lecture publique à Paris (OPLPP), structure de coopération regroupant une dizaine d’institutions concernées par la lecture et les bibliothèques à Paris. L’un des objectifs de l’oplpp est de mutualiser les réflexions des institutions membres et de les rendre publiques, par le biais de rencontres et, ce qui est une nouveauté, de publications. Dans un paysage documentaire en pleine mutation, les membres de l’oplpp s’interrogent sur les orientations de la future politique documentaire en Île-de-France. Diversité des collections, variété des publics sont deux des aspects qu’ils ont à prendre en compte afin de tisser un réseau documentaire parisien le plus efficace possible et de transcender les frontières institutionnelles. De nombreux projets de la Ville de Paris tels moderniser le réseau des bibliothèques de proximité, entretenir des liens avec la couronne parisienne, etc., sont analysés par les intervenants de ce colloque. Une comparaison avec les politiques documentaires des bibliothèques de grandes villes étrangères est également établie en vue de tirer le meilleur des exemples fournis par nos voisins.
Fana, templa, delubra. Corpus dei luoghi di culto dell'Italia antica (FTD) - 1
Authors: Gatti Sandra , Picuti Maria Romana
Published: October 2016

Sous la direction de John Scheid, Olivier de Cazanove, Filippo Coarelli et Adriana La Regina, l’étude des lieux de culte de l’Italie antique est un projet d’envergure qui se concrétise avec la publication de cette série de fascicules Fana, templa, delubra (FTD). Toutes sources, archéologiques et littéraires, entre le VIIe s. av. et le VIIe s. apr. J.-C. sont inventoriées par rapport à des lieux de culte précis. Le cadre général de ce corpus est celui des régions augustéennes, à l’intérieur de celles-ci, les unités de saisie sont les cités de l’époque romaine. Les religions de l’Italie antique ne peuvent pas être comprises comme des subdivisions locales d’une religion universelle, italique ou romaine ; elles formaient des microsystèmes homologues mais autonomes. Il convient donc d’étudier les témoignages sur la vie religieuse dans leurs contextes géographique, institutionnel et social.

Ce premier volume porte sur les cités antiques d’Aletrium, d’Anagnia, de Ferentinum et de Verulae, de la région augustéenne I - Latium/Campanie qui correspondent aux communes modernes d’Alatri, d’Anagni, de Ferentino et de Veroli. Les vestiges des lieux de culte témoignent des limites du territoire et nous aident à tisser sur la carte l’étendue de ces régions ainsi que celle de leurs voisines limitrophes.

Ce corpus est publié sous deux formes distinctes et complémentaires : une publication papier chez l'éditeur italien Quasar (http://www.edizioniquasar.it/sku.php?id_libro=1709) et sa publication électronique sur ce portail.
Aspectos a considerar no acesso à leitura de fundos documentais de livro antigo
Authors: Rico Tânia
Published: October 2016

O presente trabalho insere-se no âmbito dos estudos de história do Livro Antigo, sendo o seu objecto de análise o estudo das colecções patrimoniais existentes nas Bibliotecas e o acesso à sua leitura. Estas colecções constituídas por diversas secções variadas na sua tipologia documental: Impressos, Manuscritos, Pergaminhos, Música, Cartografia, etc; apresentam várias variantes que condicionam o seu acesso e divulgação. É neste âmbito que esta comunicação visa propor alguns dos aspectos a considerar no acesso à leitura destes fundos documentais de Livro Antigo. Esta proposta apresentará soluções no âmbito da preservação e conservação documental, do estudo e organização do acervo documental, do seu tratamento técnico e da gestão das colecções e da divulgação/difusão da colecção patrimonial. Serão analisados os projectos e medidas existentes nesta área a nível nacional e internacional, que incidirão por exemplo em temáticas como a preservação do Livro Antigo, Bibliotecas Digitais, redes de cooperação e grupos de trabalho, etc. Abordar um caminho que forneça direcções a tomar no âmbito do acesso e da promoção da leitura de modo a tornar as colecções patrimoniais de Livro Antigo um “novo” ponto da investigação científica a nível nacional e internacional, e uma mais-valia no panorama do património cultural nacional e internacional.
Born digital
Authors: Silveira Teresa
Published: October 2016

Os Born Digital são a nova geração que nasceu e tem crescido fruto da Sociedade da Informação. A neurociência, mais especificamente a neurobiologia e a neuroplasticidade, têm mostrado que esta geração apresenta e desenvolve um perfil diferente, quer do ponto de vista das suas características sociais quer ao nível das suas aptidões e competências. Este artigo versa sobre o (s) contexto (s) que moldam este perfil bem como a sua influência na relação que esta geração tem com a leitura.Sabendo que a Sociedade da Informação assenta na conjuntura de rede onde a escrita e a capacidade de compreender mensagens são os canais que permitem a circulação da comunicação, emerge a cabal importância do saber ler e escrever. Assim, o problema aqui tratado relaciona-se com a capacidade da geração dos educadores, ou seja, a geração dos baby-boomers e daqueles que nasceram entre esta geração e a dos Nativos Digitais de reciclarem os seus saberes e adquirirem novas aptidões e competências, que permitam a criação e o desenvolvimento de ambientes e estratégias que estimulem os cérebros dos Born Digital no sentido de, por um lado, adquirem, eficazmente, competência leitora e por outro mudarem a sua relação com a leitura. Apresentam-se exemplos de promoção da leitura e da escrita assentes no ambiente desta geração e lançam-se desafios à geração dos educadores.

La promoción de la lectura en el contexto de las bibliotecas universitarias españolas
Authors: Herrera Morillas José Luís , Pérez Pulido Margarita
Published: October 2016

Tradicionalmente la biblioteca universitaria ha estado centrada en el apoyo a la docencia y a la investigación de la comunidad universitaria, sin embargo hoy asistimos a un movimiento a favor de reivindicar un mayor desarrollo de la función social de este tipo de bibliotecas, en este contexto se defiende que la biblioteca universitaria puede traspasar los límites del espacio académico para promover la lectura, el acceso a la información a través de ésta y la democratización del conocimiento, pues la preocupación por la cultura y el ocio de una comunidad también debe existir en una universidad que refleje y agregue valores a los servicios prestados a millares de personas que diariamente circulan por sus instalaciones. En el caso de España observamos un creciente eco en esta postura. El propósito de este trabajo consiste en comprobar el estado actual acerca de las actividades de promoción de la lectura en las bibliotecas universitarias españolas que se están llevando a cabo, a partir del análisis de la información que aparece en los sitios web de estas bibliotecas. Partimos de un estudio previo de bibliografía sobre el tema para seguidamente proceder a un análisis de sitios web. Este estudio permite mostrar una visión más exacta del grado de implicación de estas bibliotecas en la promoción de la lectura, el tipo de actividades, procedimientos para promocionarlas, etc. Las actividades que nos han parecido de mayor interés se describen de manera detallada y las proponemos como ejemplos de buenas prácticas.
