Authors: Ristic Vladimir , Maljanovic Mirsad , Mihajlov Ivan , Milankov Vukadin , Harhaji Vladimir
Published: October 2016

Introduction. The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between
meniscal injuries with injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament, as well as
risk factors for those associated injuries. Material and Methods. This study
included 496 operated patients. Almost half of patients with meniscal injury
were between the ages of 21 and 30 years. Results. Meniscal injuries were
diagnosed in 187 patients (38%). These patients were significantly older than
the patients without meniscal injury. Meniscal injuries were significantly
more frequent in patients who played sports recreationally than in
professional athletes. The patients with meniscal injury underwent surgery
almost four months later than the patients with preserved menisci. Meniscal
injuries occurred significantly more frequently by non - contact mechanism,
as a result of landing and sudden changes of direction and rhythm of running.
Conclusion. Male patients hurt the medial meniscus more often, ?bucket
handle? type of lesion being much more frequent than on the lateral meniscus.
The increase of body mass index is exactly proportional to the increase in
the incidence of meniscal injuries.
Multiple gastric erosions diagnosed by means of capsule endoscopy in a dog
Authors: Hardy Brian T. , Gentile-Solomon Jessica , Solomon Jeffrey A.
Published: October 2016

CASE DESCRIPTION A 6-year-old spayed female Golden Retriever was evaluated for a 2-week history of progressive hyporexia, signs of abdominal pain, and weight loss.

CLINICAL FINDINGS Physical examination findings included mild signs of pain on palpation of the cranial part of the abdomen and a body condition score of 4 (scale, 1 to 9). A CBC revealed mild microcytosis and hypochromasia; results of serum biochemical analysis were within the respective reference ranges, and abdominal ultrasonography revealed no abnormalities. Capsule endoscopy was performed, and numerous gastric erosions and hemorrhages were detected, with rare dilated lacteals in the proximal aspect of the small intestine.

TREATMENT AND OUTCOME Treatment was initiated with omeprazole and sucralfate for 6 weeks, and the dog was transitioned to a novel protein diet. Capsule endoscopy was repeated at the end of the initial treatment course and revealed overall improvement, with a few small erosions remaining; medical treatment was continued for an additional 2 weeks. At last follow-up 9 months after treatment ended, the dog was clinically normal.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE Capsule endoscopy was useful for initial detection and subsequent reevaluation of gastrointestinal lesions in this patient without a need for sedation or anesthesia. Information obtained in the follow-up evaluation was valuable in identifying a need to extend the duration of medical treatment.
Objective assessment of the compensatory effect of clinical hind limb lameness in horses: 37 cases (2011–2014)
Authors: Maliye Sylvia , Marshall John F.
Published: October 2016

OBJECTIVE To characterize and describe the compensatory load redistribution that results from unilateral hind limb lameness in horses.

DESIGN Retrospective case series.

ANIMALS 37 client-owned horses.

PROCEDURES Medical records were reviewed to identify horses with unilateral hind limb lameness that responded positively (by objective assessment) to diagnostic local anesthesia during lameness evaluation and that were evaluated before and after diagnostic local anesthesia with an inertial sensor-based lameness diagnosis system. Horses were grouped as having hind limb lameness only, hind limb and ipsilateral forelimb lameness, or hind limb and contralateral forelimb lameness. Measures of head and pelvic movement asymmetry before (baseline) and after diagnostic local anesthesia were compared. The effect of group on baseline pelvic movement asymmetry variables was analyzed statistically.

RESULTS Maximum pelvic height significantly decreased from the baseline value after diagnostic local anesthesia in each of the 3 lameness groups and in all horses combined. Minimum pelvic height significantly decreased after the procedure in all groups except the hind limb and contralateral forelimb lameness group. Head movement asymmetry was significantly decreased after diagnostic local anesthesia for horses with hind limb and ipsilateral forelimb lameness and for all horses combined, but not for those with hind limb lameness only or those with hind limb and contralateral forelimb lameness.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Results supported that hind limb lameness can cause compensatory load redistribution evidenced as ipsilateral forelimb lameness. In this population of horses, contralateral forelimb lameness was not compensatory and likely reflected true lameness. Further studies are needed to investigate the source of the contralateral forelimb lameness in such horses.
Red blood cell distribution width is a survival predictor beyond anemia and Nt-ProBNP in stable optimally medicated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction outpatients
Authors: Sargento Luis , Simões Andre Vicente , Longo Susana , Lousada Nuno , Palma dos Reis Roberto
Published: October 2016

BACKGROUND: RDW is an automatic value obtained with the blood count, and represents the erythrocytes dimension variation.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate in optimally medicated outpatients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) the RDW prognostic value regarding survival in a multivariable model including anemia and Nt-ProBNP.

METHODS: 233 consecutive outpatients, LVEF <40%, clinically stable were followed-up for 3-years in an HF Unit. End-point was all-cause death. The RDW categorized according to the tertiles (T1 = <13.9; T2 14-15.2; T3> = 15.3). Anemia classified according to the WHO criteria. Cox survival model adjusted for clinical profile, optimal therapeutic, renal function, Nt-ProBNP, etiology, atrial fibrillation, and anemia.

RESULTS: (1) The 3-years death rate was 33.5%, and increased with the RDW tertiles (17.3%; 25%; 61.1%; p < 0.001). (2) The ROC curve for death associated with RDW (AUC 0.73; p < 0.001); (3) The adjusted death risk increased with the tertiles (Hazard-ratio ‘[HR] = 1.61; IC 95% 1.09–2.39; p = 0.017). RDW> = 15.3 had greater adjusted death risk than T1 (HR = 2.18; 95% CI 0.99–4.8; p = 0.05) and T1+T2 (HR = 1.54; 95% CI 1.13–2.09; p = 0.006).

CONCLUSION: RDW determined in optimally medicated outpatients with HFrEF, during dry-state, is a strong, cheap, and independent predictor of long-term survival.

Comparison of Huntington’s disease CAG Repeat Length Stability in Human Motor Cortex and Cingulate Gyrus
Authors: Geraerts Fiona C.A. , Snell Russell G. , Faull Richard L.M. , Williams Liam , Jacobsen Jessie C. , Reid Suzanne J.
Published: October 2016

Huntington’s disease is caused by expansion of the CAG repeat in Huntingtin. This repeat has shown tissue-specific instability in mouse models and in a small number of post-mortem human samples. We used small-pool PCR to generate a modified instability index to quantify CAG instability within two brain regions from six human samples where cell loss has been associated with motor and mood symptoms: the motor cortex and cingulate gyrus. The expanded allele demonstrated instability in both regions, with minimal instability in the unexpanded allele. Region-specific differences were not observed, suggesting symptomatology may not be determined by repeat length instability.

HPLC Separation of Diastereomers: Chiral Molecular Tools Useful for the Preparation of Enantiopure Compounds and Simultaneous Determination of Their Absolute Configurations
Authors: Harada Nobuyuki
Published: October 2016

To obtain enantiopure compounds, the so-called chiral high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method, i.e., HPLC using a chiral stationary phase, is very useful, as reviewed in the present Special Issue. On the other hand, normal HPLC (on silica gel) separation of diastereomers is also useful for the preparation of enantiopure compounds and also for the simultaneous determination of their absolute configurations (ACs). The author and coworkers have developed some chiral molecular tools, e.g., camphorsultam dichlorophthalic acid (CSDP acid), 2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid (MαNP acid), and others suitable for this purpose. For example, a racemic alcohol is esterified with (S)-(+)-MαNP acid, yielding diastereomeric esters, which are easily separable by HPLC on silica gel. The ACs of the obtained enantiopure MαNP esters can be determined by the 1H-NMR diamagnetic anisotropy method. In addition, MαNP or CSDP esters have a high probability of giving single crystals suitable for X-ray crystallography. From the X-ray Oak Ridge thermal ellipsoid plot (ORTEP) drawing, the AC of the alcohol part can be unambiguously determined because the AC of the acid part is already known. The hydrolysis of MαNP or CSDP esters yields enantiopure alcohols with the established ACs. The mechanism and application examples of these methods are explained.

Published: October 2016

Acetaminophen (APAP)-induced acute liver failure (ALF) is a serious health problem in developed countries. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), the current therapy for APAP-induced ALF, is not always effective, and liver transplantation is often needed. Opuntia spp. fruits are an important source of nutrients and contain high levels of bioactive compounds, including antioxidants. The aim of this study was to evaluate the hepatoprotective effect of Opuntia robusta and Opuntia streptacantha extracts against APAP-induced ALF. In addition, we analyzed the antioxidant activities of these extracts. Fruit extracts (800mg/kg/day, orally) were given prophylactically to male Wistar rats before intoxication with APAP (500 mg/kg, intraperitoneally). Rat hepatocyte cultures were exposed to 20mmol/LAPAP, and necrosis was assessed by LDH leakage. Opuntia robusta had signiﬁcantly higher levels of antioxidants than Opuntia streptacantha. Both extracts signiﬁcantly attenuated APAP-induced injury markers AST, ALT and ALP and improved liver histology. The Opuntia extracts reversed APAP-induced depletion of liver GSH and glycogen stores. In cultured hepatocytes, Opuntia extracts signiﬁcantly reduced leakage of LDH and cell necrosis, both prophylactically and therapeutically. Both extracts appeared to be superior to NAC when used therapeutically. We conclude that Opuntia extracts are hepatoprotective and can be used as a nutraceutical to prevent ALF.
Research on High Sensitive D-Shaped FBG Hydrogen Sensors in Power Transformer Oil
Authors: Luo Ying-Ting , Wang Hong-Bin , Ma Guo-Ming , Song Hong-Tu , Li Chengrong , Jiang Jun
Published: October 2016

Dissolved hydrogen is a symbol gas decomposed by power transformer oil for electrical faults such as overheat or partial discharges. A novel D-shaped fiber Bragg grating (D-FBG) sensor is herein proposed and was fabricated with magnetron sputtering to measure the dissolved hydrogen concentration in power transformer oil in this paper. Different from the RI (refractive index)-based effect, D-FBG in this case is sensitive to curvature caused by stress from sensing coating, leading to Bragg wavelength shifts accordingly. The relationship between the D-FBG wavelength shift and dissolved hydrogen concentration in oil was measured experimentally in the laboratory. The detected sensitivity could be as high as 1.96 μL/L at every 1-pm wavelength shift. The results proved that a simple, polished FBG-based hydrogen sensor provides a linear measuring characteristic in the range of low hydrogen concentrations in transformer oil. Moreover, the stable hydrogen sensing performance was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis.
NEW PHOTOMETRICALLY VARIABLE MAGNETIC CHEMICALLY PECULIAR STARS IN THE ASAS-3 ARCHIVE
Authors: Hümmerich Stefan , Paunzen Ernst , Bernhard Klaus
Published: October 2016

The magnetic Ap or CP2 stars are natural atomic and magnetic laboratories. Strictly periodic changes are observed in the spectra and brightness of these stars, which allow the derivation of rotational periods. Related to this group of objects are the He-weak (CP4) and He-rich stars, some of which also undergo brightness changes due to rotational modulation. Increasing the sample size of known rotational periods among CP2/4 stars is important and will contribute to our understanding of these objects and their evolution in time. We have compiled an extensive target list of CP2/4 stars from the General Catalog of Ap, HgMn, and Am stars, including several early-type (spectral types B/A) variables of undetermined type from the International Variable Star Index. We investigated our sample stars using publicly available observations from the ASAS-3 archive. Our previous efforts in this respect led to the discovery of 323 variable stars. Using a refined analysis approach, we were able to identify another 360 stars exhibiting photometric variability in ASAS-3 data. Summary data, folded light curves and, if available, information from the literature are presented for our final sample, which is composed of 334 bona-fide

Canum Venaticorum (ACV) variables, 23 ACV candidates, and 3 eclipsing binary systems. Interesting and unusual objects are discussed in detail. In particular, we call attention to HD 66051 (V414 Pup), which is an eclipsing binary system showing obvious rotational modulation of the light curve due to the presence of an ACV variable in the system.

Kepler has discovered hundreds of systems with multiple transiting exoplanets which hold tremendous potential both individually and collectively for understanding the formation and evolution of planetary systems. Many of these systems consist of multiple small planets with periods less than ∼50 days known as Systems with Tightly spaced Inner Planets, or STIPs. One especially intriguing STIP, Kepler-80 (KOI-500), contains five transiting planets: f, d, e, b, and c with periods of 1.0, 3.1, 4.6, 7.1, and 9.5 days, respectively. We provide measurements of transit times and a transit timing variation (TTV) dynamical analysis. We find that TTVs cannot reliably detect eccentricities for this system, though mass estimates are not affected. Restricting the eccentricity to a reasonable range, we infer masses for the outer four planets (d, e, b, and c) to be

,

,

, and

Earth masses, respectively. The similar masses but different radii are consistent with terrestrial compositions for d and e and ∼2% H/He envelopes for b and c. We confirm that the outer four planets are in a rare dynamical configuration with four interconnected three-body resonances that are librating with few degree amplitudes. We present a formation model that can reproduce the observed configuration by starting with a multi-resonant chain and introducing dissipation. Overall, the information-rich Kepler-80 planets provide an important perspective into exoplanetary systems.
3D MHD MODELING OF TWISTED CORONAL LOOPS
Authors: Reale F. , Orlando S. , Guarrasi M. , Mignone A. , Peres G. , Hood A. W. , Priest E. R.
Published: October 2016

We perform MHD modeling of a single bright coronal loop to include the interaction with a non-uniform magnetic field. The field is stressed by random footpoint rotation in the central region and its energy is dissipated into heating by growing currents through anomalous magnetic diffusivity that switches on in the corona above a current density threshold. We model an entire single magnetic flux tube in the solar atmosphere extending from the high-β chromosphere to the low-β corona through the steep transition region. The magnetic field expands from the chromosphere to the corona. The maximum resolution is ∼30 km. We obtain an overall evolution typical of loop models and realistic loop emission in the EUV and X-ray bands. The plasma confined in the flux tube is heated to active region temperatures (∼3 MK) after ∼2/3 hr. Upflows from the chromosphere up to ∼100 km s−1 fill the core of the flux tube to densities above 109 cm−3. More heating is released in the low corona than the high corona and is finely structured both in space and time.

Published: October 2016

Purpose: The literature about Competitive Intelligence (CI), as an advanced process of information management orientated towards supporting strategic decision making, has focused on topics related to the definition of the concept and on analyzing its application and the results obtained by large firms and governments through case studies. The literature recognizes that fact that the evolution of this topic creates a need to delve deeper in its study while applying it to other types of organizations and studying the effects that Competitive Intelligence produces in greater depth. Therefore, this study's objective is to analyze the effects that the use of CI has on different financial and not financial variables within a sample of SMEs.Design/methodology: The work follows the classical research scheme with literature review, statement of hypotheses and application of quantitative empirical methodology, collecting information through questionnaires sent by email, for further processing and statistical testing using ANOVA models, which allow get results and conclusions.Findings: This study's contribution comes from providing a new way to focus on the effects of de CI in companies and goes further than most of the studies cases and big companies. Therefore, its contributions are to analyze the effect of the CI within a group of SMEs and, using an empiric methodology, to look for causal relationships through financial and non-financial variables and tests on the hypotheses. The results show that Competitive Intelligence improves SMEs' adaptation capacity to their environment, improves their innovation capacity and supports value creation in their businesses.Research limitations/implications: The lack in the literature from previous studies that focused on samples of SMEs makes it possible to provide guidance and to make comparisons with the work that we carried out here. The sample size (79 companies) makes it difficult to extrapolate results. In addition, in the future it would be more appropriate to identify and analyze variables of different business sectors.Originality/value: This work provides a step forward in measuring the effects generated by Competitive Intelligence in SMEs, making it possible to demonstrate that only case studies have been analyzed. It also incorporates an approach using financial and non-financial variables that can guide future research as well as companies that want to generate their own self-assessment systems.
Estratégias de incentivo a leitura
Authors: Furtado Cassia Cordeiro
Published: October 2016

Relato das atividades educativas e culturais realizadas nas Bibliotecas Farol da Educação da Secretaria de Educação do Estado do Maranhão, Brasil, que objetivavam desenvolver e incentivar a prática da leitura literária nos alunos da educação básica, através de atividades lúdicas. Entende-se por leitura não somente decifrar símbolos gráficos, mas essencialmente a compreensão e a utilização da informação para o desenvolvimento do conhecimento e como prática social e socializadora. Tem-se base no Manifesto IFLA/UNESCO (2000) que enfatiza ser objetivo da biblioteca escolar o desenvolvimento do hábito e o prazer da leitura, não só como complemento à aprendizagem formal realizada na sala de aula, mas também, trabalhando num contexto dinâmico e interativo, proporcionando o livre acesso aos livros de literatura, e a leitura prazerosa, sem avaliação futura, pelo simples prazer de descobrir o mundo dos sonhos e o imaginário. Considera-se que a biblioteca escolar, por não está inclusa nas exigências da legislação educacional, com relação a currículo, disciplinas, horas de aula etc, se enquadra como o ambiente ideal para o estímulo a prática da leitura, pelo simples prazer da interação com o livro de literatura. Para tanto, deve valer-se de estratégias inovadoras e atividades lúdicas com o texto literário infantil e juvenil. Dessa maneira, a biblioteca escolar assume com seu papel educacional e cultural nos novos paradigmas da Sociedade da Informação.
A viagem da biblionave

Published: October 2016

À descoberta na Biblionave foi um projecto de promoção da leitura que decorreu nas Bibliotecas Municipais do distrito de Castelo Branco, que teve o apoio da Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian. Iniciou em 2006 e terminou em 2009. O projecto teve dois objectivos principais: promover a leitura na Biblioteca Municipal e a cooperação entre as Bibliotecas. Os destinatários foram os leitores entre os oito e os treze anos de idade. O projecto baseou-se em quarenta livros infantis e juvenis de ficção e não ficção, dos quais os participantes deveriam ler até seis livros. As leituras deviam ser registadas no Diário de Leitura. Foram criadas estratégias para incentivar os participantes a ler, por exemplo, no interior do Diário de Leitura existia um mapa incompleto, que conforme o participante ia realizando as leituras ia-lhe sendo entregue autocolantes que permitiam completar o mapa. Num site criado no âmbito do projecto podia-se consultar a lista de livros, os autores, ler e ouvir excertos dos livros, deixar sugestões ou comentários e, também, acompanhar a evolução do projecto. Por cada livro existia também um marcador oferecido ao participante. No final todos os participantes receberam um Certificado de Participação e os vencedores, prémios. Durante a viagem da Biblionave pelas bibliotecas, cada biblioteca adaptou o projecto à sua realidade. A avaliação foi sendo feita localmente através de questionários. A viagem da Biblionave terminou em Setembro de 2009 com o regresso à base: Penamacor.
Grupos de leitura em espaço público

Published: October 2016

Esta reflexão tem como grande propósito contribuir para o estudo e aprofundamento do fenómeno dos grupos de leitura de adultos em Portugal. Independentemente da nomenclatura adoptada – “Comunidades de Leitores”, “Clubes de leitura”, “Círculos de leitura” ou “Grupos de leitura” –, têm como princípios norteadores da sua actividade a difusão e promoção do livro e da leitura. Estes grupos emergiram no início deste século e por acção do, então denominado, Instituto Português do Livro e das Bibliotecas. Passada quase uma década a realidade é necessariamente diferente: acentua-se a importância e autonomia das bibliotecas públicas na concepção e desenvolvimento dos grupos de leitura. Intenta-se, aqui, efectuar um estudo comparado entre grupos de leitura desenvolvidos em bibliotecas públicas e em livrarias, entre 2007 e 2009 na área metropolitana do Porto. Está-se na presença de uma mesma realidade, que no fundo envolve duas vertentes – bibliotecas públicas e livrarias –, passíveis de evidenciar modelos, dinâmicas e objectivos diferenciados. Este diálogo é duplamente importante: permitirá fazer um ponto de situação e reflectir sobre o futuro dos grupos de leitura nas bibliotecas, equacionando a possibilidade de criação de sinergias com as livrarias. Atentar-se-á, assim, ao modo de funcionamento destes grupos de leitura atendendo, sobretudo, aos elementos constitutivos do modelo desenhado e desenvolvido por cada um dos referidos grupos. As questões que merecem maior acuidade prendem-se com: as condições de acolhimento/logística; a orgânica de funcionamento; o perfil do líder/orientador; o tipo de público, e particularidades distintivas.

Bibliotecas e leitura em ambiente prisional
Authors: Serrano Fernanda Maria Cunha Ferreira
Published: October 2016

Os estabelecimentos prisionais, outrora entendidos como um instrumento moralizador e preventivo e considerados actualmente como instrumentos de reinserção social dos indivíduos, vêem a biblioteca como uma das suas ferramentas essenciais, suportando as suas medidas reabilitativas. A biblioteca é vista como um elemento dinamizador da vida dos reclusos na prisão, capaz de motivar a alteração de hábitos e comportamentos, através da ocupação do tempo passado no estabelecimento. No entanto, as suas potencialidades estendem-se para além do campo da ocupação de tempos livres dos reclusos, na reinserção e ressocialização dos mesmos, potenciando um valioso investimento no futuro bem-estar e segurança da comunidade no exterior.Através da aparente normalidade da biblioteca, num ambiente informal, de lazer, os reclusos são estimulados a utilizarem a biblioteca. Os hábitos de leitura são fomentados e as necessidades dos utilizadores satisfeitas, procurando-se construir uma relação entre a biblioteca e o recluso que se estenda para além da leitura de lazer, suportando, as medidas reabilitativas do estabelecimento prisional.Perspectivam-se como espaços culturais, de convívio, de comunicação e interacção não só com o livro mas também de sociabilidade com os outros reclusos.Reflecte-se ainda sobre a presença de alguns constrangimentos que condicionam o desenvolvimento destes serviços, entre os quais, a inexistência de normas nacionais e a ausência de profissionalização.

Esta comunicação tem como principal objectivo dar a conhecer o plano de marketing para a promoção da leitura implementado na Biblioteca do Campo Arqueológico de Mértola (C.A.M.), especializada em história e arqueologia da Civilização Islâmica e recentemente aberta ao público. Pretende-se apresentar e reflectir sobre as diversas etapas do plano de marketing instituído, a saber: 1)diagnóstico interno e externo; 2)estabelecimento de objectivos; 3)estratégia de marketing; 4)marketing-mix; 5)orçamento; 6)controlo; 7)avaliação; 8)actualização do plano. A implementação do plano de marketing tem em vista não só a divulgação dos serviços e recursos desta unidade de informação, mas também a captação de novos utilizadores e, consequentemente, de potenciais leitores. Procede-se a uma clara aposta na disponibilização da informação, através do catálogo bibliográfico em linha e da promoção dos livros e de todos os recursos da biblioteca no site da instituição. Com estas estratégias, espera--se alargar o leque de utilizadores, dado este serviço de informação ser maioritariamente procurado por um público especializado e criar hábitos de leitura (em concreto através das iniciativas “Livro do Mês” e “Boletim Bibliográfico de Novidades”; lançamentos editoriais; conferências; etc.), potencializando a riqueza do vasto espólio bibliográfico do C.A.M., também direccionado para as áreas científicas do património e história local, a nosso ver não suficientemente explorado pelos leitores locais. É este o grande desafio que actualmente se coloca à equipa da Biblioteca do C.A.M. e no qual se está a investir, actualizando-se, desta forma, o plano de marketing. Em suma, trata-se, pois, de averiguar de que forma é que o marketing, enquanto ferramenta de gestão, conduz à promoção da leitura e esta, por sua vez, reforça o plano de marketing.
Pittura rupestre medievale
Authors: Piazza Simone
Published: October 2016

Spesso poco note, talvolta ancora inedite, le testimonianze di pittura rupestre medievale del Lazio e della Campania settentrionale sono numerose, come dimostrano le quarantadue schede del catalogo, corrispondenti ai monumenti presi in esame. L’ampio raggio di indagine ha permesso di enucleare due differenti tipologie di ambienti: la cavità artificiale, in corrispondenza del substrato tufaceo, utilizzata il più delle volte per esigenze funzionali, e la grotta naturale, fin dalla preistoria associata all’universo del sacro. Particolare attenzione è stata rivolta ai fenomeni religiosi che hanno concorso allo sviluppo dei santuari, quali la devozione all’arcangelo Michele, l’eremitismo e la venerazione delle reliquie. Queste ultime sono la causa della sopravvivenza dei santuari ubicati all’interno delle catacombe, luoghi di culto che molto hanno in comune con l’universo rupestre. Quanto alle tematiche di ambito artistico, il ricco corpus di dipinti ha consentito di soffermarsi sul dialogo fra roccia e immagine, sui diversi contesti della produzione pittorica campano-laziale fra VI e XIII secolo, sui problemi conservativi.
La Colonne Trajane et les Forums impériaux
Authors: Galinier Martin
Published: October 2016

Inaugurée en 113 après J.-C., la colonne Trajane, seul élément intact du somptueux Forum de Trajan, est, depuis le XIXe siècle, au centre de débats quant à la lisibilité de ses deux cents mètres de bas-reliefs relatant les guerres daciques. Les qualificatifs à son endroit allant de « sommet de l'art romain » à « échec artistique », il a semblé nécessaire de faire le point historiographique sur ce monument, puis d’examiner la frise dans ses structures iconographiques (lecture horizontale, mais aussi lecture verticale appuyée sur un relevé photographique intégral), optiques (théorie de la vision antique) et idéologiques, puis de confronter ces analyses à l’environnement spatial et politique du monument. À partir des documents contemporains (textes, monnaies, archéologie, art, faits religieux, etc.), est proposée une synthèse qui dresse le portrait de Marcus Ulpius Trajanus, considéré par ses contemporains comme l’Optimus Princeps. Cette « Rhétorique de l’Excellence » s’appuyait sur des comparaisons délibérées avec les empereurs antérieurs (citations architecturales et statuaires aux Forums adjacents), établissait un lien privilégié avec Alexandre le Grand, César et Hercule, enfin affirmait la supériorité historique de Rome sur l’Empire : l’origine géographique des matériaux employés sur le Forum et leur disposition spatiale témoignaient ainsi de la maîtrise du monde et de la prospérité générale née des conquêtes. Trajan apparaît en définitive comme un Prince complexe, aussi soucieux de son image politique qu’Auguste et qui demeura pour les Romains son égal. « Plus heureux qu’Auguste, meilleur que Trajan », s’écriait le Sénat au 4è siècle lors de l’avènement d’un nouvel empereur…
Souverain et pontife
Authors: Bountry Philippe
Published: October 2016

Souverains et Pontifes, c’est-à-dire à la fois maîtres temporels d’un État s’étendant de Rome à Bologne au centre la péninsule italienne et chefs spirituels d’une Église qui s’affirme catholique, c’est-à-dire universelle, les papes de la Restauration – Pie VII, Léon XII, Pie VIII et Grégoire XVI – ont été, de la restitution des États de l’Église à la papauté en 1814 jusqu’à l’avènement du dernier « pape-roi », Pie IX en 1846, au centre d’un vaste et complexe dispositif institutionnel où quelques centaines d’acteurs - cardinaux, prélats et officiers de Curie - ont œuvré à la fois à l’administration civile de l’État ecclésiastique à l’été de la Saint-Martin de son destin historique et au gouvernement de l’Église romaine à l’aube de sa reconstitution. À partir d’une analyse institutionnelle des différents dicastères dont se compose la Curie et d’une étude prosopographique de son personnel (soit un ensemble de 805 biographies individuelles : 158 cardinaux de Curie, 288 prélats référendaires et 359 consulteurs de congrégations et officiers mineurs, ecclésiastiques et laïcs, en poste entre le 4 mai 1814 et le 1er juin 1846), le présent travail se propose de mieux connaître et comprendre, de l’intérieur, l’organisation et le fonctionnement de la Curie romaine ainsi que les lentes recompositions et les silencieuses mutations qui l’affectent à l’âge des restaurations politiques et des révolutions libérales, des concordats et des missions et de la réaffirmation intransigeante de la foi et de la discipline catholiques.
Vitruve et la tradition des traités d’architecture
Authors: Gros Pierre
Published: October 2016

Les articles et essais qui composent cet ouvrage jalonnent plus de trente années de réflexion sur le De architectura de Vitruve, le seul traité sur l'art de bâtir qui ait échappé au naufrage de la littérature technique grecque et romaine. Dispersés dans diverses revues scientifiques ou actes de colloques, ils étaient, pour certains, devenus presque inaccessibles. Comme d'autre part ils abordent des questions de terminologie et de méthode qui ne sont pas directement traitées dans les introductions et commentaires rédigés par le même auteur pour les livres II, III, IV de la Collection des Universités de France (Paris, 1990, 1992, 1999) ou pour l'édition complète d'Einaudi (Turin, 1997), une nouvelle présentation globale s'avérait nécessaire. Un tel regroupement permet de suivre sur le long terme le cheminement d'une recherche qui, d'abord centrée sur la structure de l'ouvrage et les contraintes imposées par le genre théorique, n'a cessé de s'approfondir en s'efforçant de retrouver la logique parfois déconcertante qui a présidé à la définition des règles et à l'organisation des chapitres prescriptifs ou normatifs. Il apparaît ainsi, à la lecture de ces travaux, que le statut des développements consacrés par Vitruve à l'architecture dans le système d'énonciation à la fois complexe et imbriqué de son traité compte souvent davantage que le contenu même de ces développements, ou que du moins celui-ci ne saurait être ni compris ni évalué avec quelque efficacité sans une réflexion préliminaire sur celui-là. Si l'on devait retenir un seul enseignement de ces recherches, ce serait celui d'un mode de lecture et donc d'emploi qui, se défiant de toute exploitation directe d'un précepte technique ou proportionnel isolé de son contexte, se donne toujours pour tâche de le situer dans l'univers culturel de l'auteur latin et dans le réseau axiologique, explicite ou implicite, que cet héritier de la tradition hellénistique d'Asie Mineure considérait comme infrangible. Dans cette démarche, sa double compétence de latiniste et d'archéologue a permis à Pierre Gros des mises au point et des découvertes dont la communauté internationale des « vitruviens » et des historiens de l'architecture a salué la pertinence.
Rome et la Révolution française
Authors: Pelletier Gérard
Published: October 2016

Les sources vaticanes sur la Révolution française méritent une étude méthodique, tout comme le travail des théologiens romains, dans la réponse aux courants réformistes qui agitaient alors l'Église. L'enjeu est de comprendre les réactions du pape Pie VI Braschi et de sa Curie à la Constitution civile du clergé et aux développements de la Révolution. La Curie étudie en parallèle les événements de France et les actes du synode diocésain de Pistoie (1786). C'est une théologie romaine de l'Église qui se construit face au gallicanisme, au joséphisme et au jansénisme : la situation particulière de l'épiscopat français en exil permet au Saint-Siège de valoriser sa primauté de juridiction. Après une présentation de Pie VI et de son pontificat, le travail des congrégations particulières pour les affaires de France est suivi pas à pas, dans la préparation des brefs, dans les conséquences du schisme, de la Terreur, de la campagne d'Italie, jusqu'à la mort du pape à Valence (1799). Le « martyre » du pape prépare-t-il aux yeux du futur Grégoire XVI « le triomphe » de l'Église ?
Le juste marché
Authors: Martinat Monica
Published: October 2016

À travers une analyse minutieuse du fonctionnement du circuit d’échange du blé et des différents contextes qui servent à l’expliquer, l’auteur montre comment les autorités pontificales du XVIe et du XVIIe siècle bâtissent et gèrent un système commercial spécifique, dont la logique repose sur une conception particulière de l’économie et de la société. La théologie morale des scolastiques, avec l’élaboration de la notion centrale de « juste prix », constitue le cadre théorique fondamental pris en compte pour saisir la rationalité d’institutions qui, comme les Annones d’Ancien Régime, ont été trop vite et trop souvent assimilées à des simples entraves à la libre expression des forces de marché. Le modèle romain d’« économie morale » ici proposé apporte ainsi une contribution au débat général, tant des historiens que des anthropologues, concernant les caractéristiques des économies pré-classiques et les outils analytiques pertinents pour leur interprétation.
Des crises commerciales et de leur retour périodique
Authors: Juglar Clément
Published: October 2016

Au milieu des années 1850, l’économiste français Clément Juglar présenta l’une des premières expressions de l’idée de cycle économique. Il publia en 1862, Des crises et de leur retour périodique en France, en Angleterre et aux États-Unis. Il travailla le reste de sa vie à mieux fonder théoriquement et empiriquement ses premières intuitions sur le cycle d’une dizaine d’années (prospérité-crise-dépression) qui lui paraissait rythmer l’évolution économique moderne. En 1889 il publiait la deuxième édition, largement augmentée et remaniée, de son grand ouvrage sur les crises.

C’est l’édition de 1889 qui est proposée dans ce volume. L’ouvrage est accompagné de deux textes courts, synthèses des analyses que présenta Juglar d’abord au tournant 1860, puis une trentaine d’années plus tard : Les articles « crises commerciales » qu’il publia en 1863 dans le Dictionnaire général de la politique de M. Block (1863) et en 1891 dans le Nouveau dictionnaire de l’économie politique (L. Say et J. Chailley).
Les méthodes d’analyse d’enquêtes
Authors: Cibois Philippe
Published: October 2016

Malgré les progrès des outils informatiques, mener une enquête sociologique, c’est-à-dire interroger des personnes sur leurs opinions, leurs pratiques, leur situation, leur passé, etc., reste une opération souvent coûteuse en temps et en moyens. Et le risque est grand pour ceux qui s’y lancent d’être ensuite noyés sous la masse des données collectées. Heureusement, il existe des méthodes efficaces pour réaliser le dépouillement d'une enquête et ne pas se contenter des résultats superficiels livrés par le simple examen de la distribution des réponses. Cet ouvrage présente de façon pédagogique plusieurs méthodes avancées d’analyse statistique des données d’enquête, en particulier l'analyse factorielle des correspondances et la régression logistique, qui, en utilisant des logiciels désormais de plus en plus faciles d’utilisation, permettent d'exploiter en profondeur les données.
Libertés et libéralismes
Authors: Potier Jean-Pierre , Fournel Jean-Louis , Guilhaumou Jacques
Published: October 2016

Ce livre part du constat qu’il n’y a pas de réflexion sur le libéralisme sans pensée de la liberté mais que toute pensée de la liberté ne saurait être incluse dans les différentes formes de libéralismes. Les deux mots qui se trouvent au départ de cette interrogation renvoient à des réalités empiriques ou conceptuelles et à des chronologies a priori différentes. Liberté renvoie à une problématique millénaire, existant depuis que les hommes réfléchissent sur les formes possibles du vivre ensemble. Libéralisme se réfère davantage à un corps de doctrine qui trouve son origine dans une interprétation du rôle moteur de la liberté pour les échanges et les formes d’organisation de la société. Le pari de ce recueil d’études, transdisciplinaire par choix et par nécessité, est de confronter les deux notions dans leurs usages et leur histoire.

Ce livre propose ainsi une cartographie plus fine de ces concepts que celles qui sont proposées par la littérature analytique (que ce soit la catégorisation duale d’Isaiah Berlin opposant liberté positive et liberté négative ou l’opposition désormais figée entre libéralisme et républicanisme). L’un des résultats de l’entreprise est ainsi de fournir un principe d’explication de la diversité des libéralismes, que la littérature contemporaine s’emploie trop souvent à décrire, indépendamment des moments historiques de leur institutionnalisation.
Le moment idéologique
Authors: Citton Yves , Dumasy Lise
Published: October 2016

Que peut nous apporter aujourd’hui la lecture des Idéologues, ces penseurs qui ont reconfiguré le champ des savoirs au début du XIXe siècle ? La mise au jour d’un moment idéologique. Ce moment est celui qui voit une radicalité des Lumières se scinder entre divers branchements disciplinaires, entre diverses conceptions de la subjectivité et de l’émancipation. Le moment idéologique est un moment de passage, mais surtout de décantation. On y voit émerger, quoiqu’encore entremêlés et solidaires, ce que nous sommes habitués à distinguer : Lumières et romantisme, rationalisme et sentiment, radicalité et conservatisme, nécessité et volontarisme, colonialisme et soif d’altérité, science et littérature.

Les dix chapitres de cet ouvrage ont en commun de visiter ce moment idéologique à partir de questions concrètes, analysées sur des objets textuels précisément circonscrits : une fausse polémique, un cours d’histoire, une analogie hydraulique, des théories de l’imagination, des épisodes de réminiscence involontaire, un voyage à Alexandrie, un projet d’alphabet universel, une explication de l’amitié, une réécriture romanesque de la folle « science des idées ». C’est à partir de ces cas particuliers que prend forme une image d’ensemble du moment idéologique, où se révèlent à la fois la reconfiguration des champs du savoir et ce que cette reconfiguration a occulté : l’inséparabilité de ce qui devient alors, d’un côté, « la littérature » et, de l’autre, « les sciences » (de l’homme) – le moment idéologique nous faisant voir que ce sont les deux faces d’une même pièce.
