Quantifying the Response Time of a Lake–Groundwater Interacting System to Climatic Perturbation
Authors: Gong Yicheng , Liu Ganming , Schwartz Franklin
Published: November 2015

Response time, describing how quickly a disturbed system would reach a new equilibrium, has been helpful to hydrogeologists in characterizing and understanding the hydrogeological systems. This study examined the complex response times associated with lake–groundwater perturbed by climate. Simulated hydraulic heads and lake stage values derived from a 3-D, MODFLOW-based model were used to calculate the response times for a closed, groundwater-fed lake system. Although obviously coupled, the response times of the lake and groundwater systems were different from one another. Typically, the adjustments in hydraulic heads occurred more rapidly than lake stage. Response times for groundwaters close to the lake were controlled by the lake because of the slow transient response in stage. However, the influence of the lake declined toward the basin boundaries. This behavior occurred because critical parameters controlling the response-time behavior of the groundwater system (e.g., recharge rate) differed from those controlling the response-time behavior of the lake (e.g., bed leakance). An improved understanding of lake–groundwater behaviors have the potential to evaluate how lakes function as systems for recording paleoclimates.
Easy access to heterobimetallic complexes for medical imaging applications via microwave-enhanced cycloaddition
Authors: Desbois Nicolas , Pacquelet Sandrine , Dubois Adrien , Michelin Clément , Gros Claude P
Published: November 2015

The Cu(I)-catalysed Huisgen cycloaddition, known as “click” reaction, has been applied to the synthesis of a range of triazole-linked porphyrin/corrole to DOTA/NOTA derivatives. Microwave irradiation significantly accelerates the reaction. The synthesis of heterobimetallic complexes was easily achieved in up to 60% isolated yield. Heterobimetallic complexes were easily prepared as potential MRI/PET (SPECT) bimodal contrast agents incorporating one metal (Mn, Gd) for the enhancement of contrast for MRI applications and one “cold” metal (Cu, Ga, In) for future radionuclear imaging applications. Preliminary relaxivity measurements showed that the reported complexes are promising contrast agents (CA) in MRI.

Authors: Wan Jie-Ping , Jing Yanfeng
Published: November 2015

Copper catalysis has been known as a powerful tool for its ubiquitous application in organic synthesis. One of the fundamental utilities of copper catalysis is in the C–N bond formation by using carbon sources and nitrogen functional groups such as amides. In this review, the recent progress in the amidation reactions employing copper-catalyzed C–H amidation is summarized.
De la France à Barcelone. Une version catalane de « l’ordonnance perdue » de Charles VII sur les gens d’armes (1445)
Authors: Péquignot Stéphane
Published: November 2015

Le 3 avril 1445, les consuls de Perpignan adressent aux conseillers de Barcelone la copie de plusieurs lettres contenant des informations remarquablement précises sur la situation en France. Ils joignent la copie en catalan d’une ordonnance de Charles VII sur « les gens d’armes que le roi veut tenir et loger en son royaume » (éditée en annexes). Les raisons et les modalités complexes de la transmission de cette pièce justificative exceptionnelle font l’objet d’une première partie de l’enquête. La « copie de l’ordonnance » est ensuite examinée d’un point de vue formel, puis confrontée aux autres dispositions législatives contemporaines sur les gens de guerre en France et aux témoignages des chroniques. À l’issue de ce travail d’identification, la copie de Barcelone s’avère une version catalane de la fameuse « ordonnance perdue » sur les gens de guerre de Charles VII, une étape décisive dans le processus de création des compagnies d’ordonnance. La découverte permet notamment de préciser les listes des capitaines et les entités géographiques alors retenues pour le logement des gens d’armes. Elle conduit aussi à nuancer le caractère fondateur prêté à l’ordonnance. Il s’agit certes d’un projet de réforme générale et de contrôle des gens d’armes conçu pour l’ensemble des territoires sous domination royale, à l’exception du Languedoc, mais de nombreuses questions importantes sont laissées en suspens, une place est ménagée pour les adaptations et les négociations ultérieures sur le terrain, ce qui rendra ensuite nécessaire la confection d’autres ordonnances.
La transmission du traumatisme dans les groupes victimes de génocides
Authors: Waintrater Régine
Published: November 2015

Les questions de transmission émergent toujours dans les moments critiques de l’histoire. Les groupes ayant connu la violence extrême sont confrontés, davantage que d’autres, à la nécessité de s’en donner une représentation : nécessité au niveau du groupe tout entier, mais surtout nécessité au sein de la famille. La transmission d’une histoire traumatique se fait sur des modes très variés, et opère souvent à bas bruit, ce qui en rend les effets difficiles à déceler. À travers le récit de la cure d’un fils d’enfant caché, nous examinerons la façon dont le traumatisme se transmet aux générations suivantes, et les stratégies psychiques mises en place par le sujet pour traiter ses effets aliénants sur le psychisme individuel et familial, notamment à travers le concept de famille survivante.
Passage de la culture et transformation des liens dans le cadre d’une migration
Authors: Drweski Philippe
Published: November 2015

Cet article traite de la question du passage et de la transformation psychique dans le cadre d’un changement d’environnement culturel en prenant le cas particulier d’une population expatriée française en Chine. Nous explorons ici deux hypothèses. La première est que la culture joue un rôle psychique bien avant la phase œdipienne et que l’environnement culturel occupe une place essentielle dans le sentiment du moi du sujet. Cette hypothèse nous amène à reconnaître le rôle central du corps dans l’intégration de la culture. Notre seconde hypothèse est que cette intégration transforme les liens intersubjectifs. Nous pensons que quelle que soit la qualité de cette intégration, il va y avoir une répercussion sur l’intersubjectivité. Ainsi le lien se structurera plus ou moins autour de la culture d’origine ou à travers l’expérience commune vécue.
Passages et transmissions. La contagion émotionnelle ou la contamination dans un groupe de patientes ayant des troubles du comportement alimentaire
Authors: Choupas Armelle
Published: November 2015

Le groupe permet de reconnaître et traiter des souffrances très primitives et des conflictualités archaïques à la limite du corporel et du groupal. Ces souffrances auraient des effets de contamination pour les personnes mais aussi les groupes. Cette contamination s’opère au niveau de la psyché primaire qui préexiste à l’ancrage corporel et qui est le lieu où se situe le lien inconscient commun le plus profond des membres du groupe. L’affect désorganise la capacité de penser, et circule par les liens archaïques des identifications affectives, sans représentations et grâce à la capacité de co-éprouver des autres membres du groupe. Il est contagieux. Cette contagion par l’affect est possible par une défaillance protectrice et une transmission par identification. Dans un groupe d’adolescentes souffrant de troubles du comportement alimentaire, ces passages et transmissions sont observés et le travail de lien de la contenance groupale mis à l’épreuve.
L’intervention du psychanalyste. Crise groupale et « malaise actuel » dans l’institution
Authors: Nicolle Olivier
Published: November 2015

On aborde ici l’intervention demandée d’un psychanalyste, étranger à l’institution, au sein même d’un groupe institutionnel en « crise ». Des éléments structurant ces dispositifs en instaurant une position psychanalytique sont précisés. La notion de « crise » dans l’institution, est également envisagée : d’une part, comme modalité d’une mise en œuvre de l’impensé de la geste fondatrice, d’autre part, comme émergence du « négatif groupal » qui, dans tout groupe, constitue le revers refoulé et/ou dénié des investissements actuels du groupe, et de sa tâche primaire, la rendant possible. À travers une histoire clinique groupale, on montre la différenciation conceptuelle et méthodologique entre le mode « critique » du fonctionnement groupal et le « malaise actuel », au prisme duquel la souffrance en institution est souvent cantonnée, alors que ses racines sont autres que les mouvements primitifs (régression, désintrication pulsionnelle, clivage, projection, idéalisations, démonisations, etc.) caractérisant la « crise » groupale institutionnelle, dont la jouissance n’est pas non plus absente.
Mise en chantier des notions d’enveloppe(s) psychique(s) et de moi-peau individuelles et groupales
Authors: Vollon Clarisse , Gimenez Guy
Published: November 2015

Cet article est un travail préliminaire qui a pour objectif d’introduire une étude plus globale sur la qualité et la dynamique des enveloppes psychiques en situation de groupe à visée thérapeutique. Dans un premier temps, nous allons revenir sur les termes de Moi-peau et d’enveloppes psychiques en présentant les différents apports épistémologiques ayant contribué à leurs définitions. Cette démarche va nous permettre d’observer qu’il existe plusieurs types de Moi-peau mais surtout une multitude d’enveloppes psychiques que nous nous proposons ici de répertorier pour la première fois. Dans un second temps, cette démarche va nous permettre d’aborder les notions de Moi-peau et d’enveloppes psychiques groupales. Cela nous va nous amener à envisager provisoirement les enveloppes psychiques groupales à partir de ce que nous nommons la « qualité groupale » de certaines enveloppes psychiques individuelles.
Une médiation « conte » en maison de retraite : effets d’un dispositif de groupe chez la personne âgée
Authors: Aubert Sonia
Published: November 2015

Cette réflexion questionne les réaménagements psychiques à l’œuvre lors du processus du vieillissement, en prenant en compte à la fois l’aspect désorganisateur de ceux-ci et le pôle créateur et réparateur. Dans ce cadre, nous abordons la pratique des médiations artistiques groupales (au sein d’un Établissement hébergeant des personnes âgées dépendantes) s’appuyant sur le conte comme support narratif et identificatoire afin de soutenir ou relancer les processus de pensée et de créativité. La dynamique de groupe des résidants venant dans l’ici et maintenant des échanges s’articuler à la médiation, en soutenant l’expression d’une (inter)subjectivité. La fonction contenante de ce type de dispositif nous paraissait être une aide pour accéder à un espace transitionnel et les aider à symboliser leurs conflits actuels et antérieurs. De plus, cette médiation, a, de par son contenu, un fort potentiel identificatoire, de mise en récit, d’historicisation, et d’articulation des processus primaires et secondaires.
La sensation de présence comme condition nécessaire de la validité comportementale des simulateurs de conduite
Authors: Deniaud Christophe , Mestre Daniel
Published: November 2015

L’utilisation d’un simulateur de conduite pour la recherche en facteurs humains présente de nombreux avantages, tels que le contrôle expérimental de plusieurs variables indépendantes, une réduction des coûts, la sécurité et la facilité dans l’acquisition et la collecte de données. Cependant, la littérature décrit aussi des inconvénients associés à l’usage d’un simulateur comme : le mal du simulateur, la reproduction encore imprécise des sensations physiques, et surtout, la difficulté à établir la validité écologique des résultats obtenus. En dépit des progrès importants réalisés ces 40 dernières années pour retranscrire le plus fidèlement possible l’expérience sensorielle et motrice caractérisant l’activité de conduite, un manque de réalisme semble toujours persister. Plus précisément, il s’agit d’un manque de validité psychologique qui peut s’appréhender comme la mesure selon laquelle les risques et les récompenses inhérents à la simulation correspondent aux risques et aux récompenses inhérents à la conduite réelle. Dans cet article, nous proposons d’aborder la validité comportementale sous l’angle de la validité psychologique au travers du concept de présence. Ce concept considéré comme la capacité des individus à adopter des comportements similaires à ceux observés dans la vie quotidienne nous apparaît intéressant à utiliser pour interroger la validité comportementale à l’aide de mesures subjectives et objectives possiblement corrélables. Cette approche est novatrice puisqu’elle nous permet de s’affranchir d’une méthode d’évaluation de la validité usuellement pratiquée mais coûteuse et complexe à mettre en place, à savoir celle de comparer des résultats provenant de la simulation avec ceux de la situation réelle. Cela permet ainsi de proposer une approche méthodologique, sur la question de la validité des simulateurs, qui est moins contraignante et moins coûteuse dans sa réalisation.
L’utilisation conjointe de l’observation et l’auto-confrontation à travers l’étude d’une vente à domicile
Authors: Saint-Dizier de Almeida Valérie
Published: November 2015

L’article a une visée méthodologique. Il traite de deux méthodes qui visent l’identification de l’expertise humaine : l’observation et les verbalisations en auto-confrontation. Ces méthodes développées au cours du xx e   siècle sont toujours d’actualité. Dans la littérature, on revendique leur utilisation conjointe. Dans les années 1980-1990 leur confrontation avait notamment pour but d’identifier les excès de rationalisation suscités par la méthode des verbalisations en auto-confrontation. Dans les années 2000 pour l’étude des activités professionnelles qui s’inscrivent dans le champ des relations de service, leur confrontation vise la correction d’erreurs provenant de l’analyse des comportements langagiers. S’il est donc courant de combiner ces deux méthodes, à notre connaissance, il n’existe pas de travaux rendant compte précisément de leur complémentarité et de leurs apports respectifs. L’article propose de décrire, à partir d’une étude de cas (une vente à domicile), l’emploi de ces deux méthodes dans un même processus d’investigation. Nous précisons la façon dont les méthodes ont été utilisées et comment l’analyse des données a été effectuée. Nous montrons qu’utilisées conjointement ces méthodes permettent d’améliorer la compréhension de l’activité et de réduire des biais d’interprétation des données. Leurs apports respectifs et leurs limites sont précisés.
Food securitization and urban agriculture in Hanoi (Vietnam)
Authors: Pulliat Gwenn
Published: November 2015

Based on a qualitative study of Hanoi underprivileged households’ livelihoods, this article addresses the role of urban and periurban agriculture in the food securitization process. It begins by showing that the spatial dynamics occurring in the emerging metropolis induce strong competition for the various uses of land. The urbanization process is based on a tremendous land-seizure policy, and officials seem to regard farmland as a land reserve instead of as a source of food. However, as a source of cheap, diversified, and safe food, and as a component of households’ livelihoods, urban agriculture plays a specific role in food-securitization strategies, especially for low-income households by reducing their food vulnerability in both short- and long-term; hence, it is a factor of resilience. Because the urbanization process that jeopardizes access to land seems particularly damaging for those households, urban planning is reconsidered from a spatial justice perspective. The food securitization approach, focusing on actors’ strategies, indicates how urban planning generates rising inequalities in the emerging metropolis. This study proposes that the current pattern of urban development induces spatial injustice in access to urban resources and land, thereby increasing inequalities in urban dwellers’ ability to manage their food security situation.
Cidades médias, novos espaços produtivos e reestruturação do espaço urbano em Uberaba-MG
Authors: Gomes Maria Terezinha Serafim
Published: November 2015

Nos últimos anos, as cidades médias brasileiras têm se firmado como polos atrativos, tanto para fluxos migratórios internos, como para novos investimentos empresariais, nos setores da indústria, do comércio, de serviços e imobiliário, fazendo surgir novos espaços produtivos. Essas cidades têm recebido novos empreendimentos voltados ao mercado de consumo, como hipermercados, shopping centers, lojas de franquias, concessionárias de veículos, hotéis e diversos estabelecimentos de prestação de serviços. A atração de novos empreendimentos econômicos tem levado, em muitos casos, a uma reestruturação do espaço urbano dessas cidades, produzindo novas centralidades urbanas. Elas vêm configurando-se como cidades emergentes, alavancando uma nova dinâmica econômica fora do espaço metropolitano e assumindo um papel relevante na rede urbana brasileira. Este trabalho tem como objetivo discutir as cidades médias e a constituição de novos espaços produtivos, bem como a reestruturação do espaço urbano, tendo como referência a cidade de Uberaba, na região do Triângulo Mineiro.
O mapa da fortificação da cidade de São Paulo por ocasião da Revolta Liberal de 1842. Contexto e usos atuais.
Authors: Kuvasney Eliane
Published: November 2015

Este trabalho parte da abordagem metodológica e analítica dos mapas existentes por meio de seus contextos, desenvolvida por Brian Harley (1932-1991). Nesse sentido, o mapa da capital da então Província de São Paulo, de 1842, foi produzido em virtude das ameaças de invasão da capital da província por um grupo – os liberais – que se opunha às decisões do grupo no poder naquele momento – os conservadores. O tenente José Jacques da Costa Ourique, recém empossado diretor do Gabinete Topográfico de São Paulo é chamado a confeccionar um mapa que desse conta de apresentar uma proposta de fortificação da cidade para o então Barão de Caxias, líder da empreitada militar situacionista. Outro enfoque observado é a descontextualização desse objetivo inicial do mapa – militar, de fortificação – ao observarmos seus usos na atualidade. Nas análises atuais observou-se sua constante negação (das barreiras, das linhas de fortificação, da artilharia), ou até sua supressão em algumas cópias.

CD134- and CD137-primed CD8 T cells mount powerful effector responses upon recall, but even without recall these dual-costimulated T cells respond to signal 3 cytokines such as IL-12. We searched for alternative signal 3 receptor pathways and found the IL-1 family member IL-36R. Although IL-36 alone did not stimulate effector CD8 T cells, in combination with IL-12, or more surprisingly IL-2, it induced striking and rapid TCR-independent IFN-γ synthesis. To understand how signal 3 responses functioned in dual-costimulated T cells we showed that IL-2 induced IL-36R gene expression in a JAK/STAT-dependent manner. These data help delineate a sequential stimulation process where IL-2 conditioning must precede IL-36 for IFN-γ synthesis. Importantly, this responsive state was transient and functioned only in effector T cells capable of aerobic glycolysis. Specifically, as the effector T cells metabolized glucose and consumed O2, they also retained potential to respond through IL-36R. This suggests that T cells use innate receptor pathways such as the IL-36R/axis when programmed for aerobic glycolysis. To explore a function for IL-36R in vivo, we showed that dual costimulation therapy reduced B16 melanoma tumor growth while increasing IL-36R gene expression. In summary, cytokine therapy to eliminate tumors may target effector T cells, even outside of TCR specificity, as long as the effectors are in the correct metabolic state.
Elephant movement patterns in relation to human inhabitants in and around the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park
Authors: Cook Robin M. , Henley Michelle D. , Parrini Francesca
Published: November 2015

The presence of humans and African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park can create situations of potential human–elephant conflict. Such conflict will likely be exacerbated as elephant and human populations increase, unless mitigation measures are put in place. In this study we analysed the movement patterns of 13 collared adult African elephants from the northern Kruger National Park over a period of eight years (2006–2014). We compared the occurrence and displacement rates of elephant bulls and cows around villages in the Limpopo National Park and northern border of the Kruger National Park across seasons and at different times of the day. Elephants occurred close to villages more often in the dry season than in the wet season, with bulls occurring more frequently around villages than cows. Both the bulls and the cows preferred to use areas close to villages from early evening to midnight, with the bulls moving closer to villages than the cows. These results suggest that elephants, especially the bulls, are moving through the studied villages in Mozambique and Zimbabwe at night and that these movements are most common during the drier months when resources are known to be scarce.Conservation implications: Elephants from the Kruger National Park are moving in close proximity to villages within the Great Limpopo Transfrontier Park. Resettlement of villages within and around the park should therefore be planned away from elephant seasonal routes to minimise conflict between humans and elephants.

Published: November 2015

Several recent studies have demonstrated that virulence in Entamoeba histolytica is triggered in the presence of both pathogenic and nonpathogenic bacteria species using in vitro and in vivo experimental animal models. In this study, we examined samples aspirated from abscess material obtained from patients who were clinically diagnosed with amebic liver abscess (ALA) or pyogenic liver abscess (PLA). To determine the diversity of bacterial species in the abscesses, we performed partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. In addition, the E. histolytica and Entamoeba dispar species were genotyped using tRNA-linked short tandem repeats as specific molecular markers. The association between clinical data and bacterial and parasite genotypes were examined through a correspondence analysis. The results showed the presence of numerous bacterial groups. These taxonomic groups constitute common members of the gut microbiota, although all of the detected bacterial species have a close phylogenetic relationship with bacterial pathogens. Furthermore, some patients clinically diagnosed with PLA and ALA were coinfected with E. dispar or E. histolytica, which suggests that the virulence of these parasites increased in the presence of bacteria. However, no specific bacterial groups were associated with this effect. Together, our results suggest a nonspecific mechanism of virulence modulation by bacteria in Entamoeba.

Abstract. We present 5 years of GOSAT XCH4 retrieved using the "proxy" approach. The Proxy XCH4 data are validated against ground-based TCCON observations and are found to be of high quality with a small bias of 4.8 ppb (∼ 0.27 %) and a single-sounding precision of 13.4 ppb (∼ 0.74 %). The station-to-station bias (ameasure of the relative accuracy) is found to be 4.2 ppb. For the first time the XCH4 / XCO2 ratio component of the Proxy retrieval is validated (bias of 0.014 ppb ppm−1 (∼ 0.30 %), single-sounding precision of 0.033 ppb ppm−1 (∼ 0.72 %)). The uncertainty relating to the model XCO2 component of the Proxy XCH4 is assessed through the use of an ensemble of XCO2 models. While each individual XCO2 model is found to agree well with the TCCON validation data (r = 0.94–0.97), it is not possible to select one model as the best from our comparisons. The median XCO2 value of the ensemble has a smaller scatter against TCCON (a standard deviation of 0.92 ppm) than any of the individual models whilst maintaining a small bias (0.15 ppm). This model median XCO2 is used to calculate the Proxy XCH4 with the maximum deviation of the ensemble from the median used as an estimate of the uncertainty. We compare this uncertainty to the a posteriori retrieval error (which is assumed to reduce with sqrt(N)) and find typically that the model XCO2 uncertainty becomes significant during summer months when the a posteriori error is at its lowest due to the increase in signal related to increased summertime reflected sunlight. We assess the significance of these model and retrieval uncertainties on flux inversion by comparing the GOSAT XCH4 against modelled XCH4 from TM5-4DVAR constrained by NOAA surface observations (MACC reanalysis scenario S1-NOAA). We find that for the majority of regions the differences are much larger than the estimated uncertainties. Our findings show that useful information will be provided to the inversions for the majority of regions in addition to that already provided by the assimilated surface measurements.
Characterization of extreme precipitation within atmospheric river events over California
Authors: Jeon S. ,   Prabhat, Byna S. , Gu J. , Collins W. D. , Wehner M. F.
Published: November 2015

Abstract. Atmospheric rivers (ARs) are large, spatially coherent weather systems with high concentrations of elevated water vapor. These systems often cause severe downpours and flooding over the western coastal United States – and with the availability of more atmospheric moisture in the future under global warming we expect ARs to play an important role as potential causes of extreme precipitation changes. Therefore, we aim to investigate changes in extreme precipitation properties correlated with AR events in a warmer climate, which are large-scale meteorological patterns affecting the weather and climate of California. We have recently developed the TECA (Toolkit for Extreme Climate Analysis) software for automatically identifying and tracking features in climate data sets. Specifically, we can now identify ARs that make landfall on the western coast of North America. Based on this detection procedure, we can investigate the impact of ARs by exploring the spatial extent of AR precipitation using climate model (CMIP5) simulations and characterize spatial patterns of dependence for future projections between AR precipitation extremes under climate change within the statistical framework. Our results show that AR events in the future RCP (Representative Concentration Pathway)8.5 scenario (2076–2100) tend to produce heavier rainfall with higher frequency and longer days than events from the historical run (1981–2005). We also find that the dependence between extreme precipitation events has a shorter spatial range, within localized areas in California, under the high future emissions scenario than under the historical run.
First record of the genus Pseudopilolabus Legalov, 2003 (Coleoptera: Attelabidae) in Dominican amber
Authors: Poinar Jr. G. , Brown A. E. , Legalov A. A.
Published: November 2015

Abstract. A new weevil species (urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:2D5E9E4A-A250-4D0A-AF69-CF4753436686), Pseudopilolabus othnius Poinar, Brown and Legalov, sp. nov. (Coleoptera: Attelabidae), is described from Dominican amber. The new species is close to the extant P. viridanus (Gyllenhal, 1839) and P. splendens (Gyllenhal, 1839) but differs by having a bronzed body, narrower and more convex elytral intervals, long antennae reaching the middle of the pronotum, and weakly convex eyes; from P. rugiceps (Voss, 1925) it differs by having a smoother pronotum without transverse rugosity; from P. chiriquensis (Hamilton, 1994) it differs by having indistinctly protuberant humeri and the elytra nearly parallel from the humeri to the midpoint. The fossil weevil is the first record of the tribe Pilolabini (Attelabidae) from the West Indies and the first record of the Attelabidae from any amber source.
A simple two-dimensional parameterisation for Flux Footprint Prediction (FFP)
Authors: Kljun N. , Calanca P. , Rotach M. W. , Schmid H. P.
Published: November 2015

Abstract. Flux footprint models are often used for interpretation of flux tower measurements, to estimate position and size of surface source areas, and the relative contribution of passive scalar sources to measured fluxes. Accurate knowledge of footprints is of crucial importance for any upscaling exercises from single site flux measurements to local or regional scale. Hence, footprint models are ultimately also of considerable importance for improved greenhouse gas budgeting. With increasing numbers of flux towers within large monitoring networks such as FluxNet, ICOS (Integrated Carbon Observation System), NEON (National Ecological Observatory Network), or AmeriFlux, and with increasing temporal range of observations from such towers (of the order of decades) and availability of airborne flux measurements, there has been an increasing demand for reliable footprint estimation. Even though several sophisticated footprint models have been developed in recent years, most are still not suitable for application to long time series, due to their high computational demands. Existing fast footprint models, on the other hand, are based on surface layer theory and hence are of restricted validity for real-case applications. To remedy such shortcomings, we present the two-dimensional parameterisation for Flux Footprint Prediction (FFP), based on a novel scaling approach for the crosswind distribution of the flux footprint and on an improved version of the footprint parameterisation of Kljun et al. (2004b). Compared to the latter, FFP now provides not only the extent but also the width and shape of footprint estimates, and explicit consideration of the effects of the surface roughness length. The footprint parameterisation has been developed and evaluated using simulations of the backward Lagrangian stochastic particle dispersion model LPDM-B (Kljun et al., 2002). Like LPDM-B, the parameterisation is valid for a broad range of boundary layer conditions and measurement heights over the entire planetary boundary layer. Thus, it can provide footprint estimates for a wide range of real-case applications. The new footprint parameterisation requires input that can be easily determined from, for example, flux tower measurements or airborne flux data. FFP can be applied to data of long-term monitoring programmes as well as be used for quick footprint estimates in the field, or for designing new sites.
Large-scale hydrological modelling by using modified PUB recommendations: the India-HYPE case
Authors: Pechlivanidis I. G. , Arheimer B.
Published: November 2015

Abstract. The scientific initiative Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB) (2003–2012 by the IAHS) put considerable effort into improving the reliability of hydrological models to predict flow response in ungauged rivers. PUB's collective experience advanced hydrologic science and defined guidelines to make predictions in catchments without observed runoff data. At present, there is a raised interest in applying catchment models to large domains and large data samples in a multi-basin manner, to explore emerging spatial patterns or learn from comparative hydrology. However, such modelling involves additional sources of uncertainties caused by the inconsistency between input data sets, i.e. particularly regional and global databases. This may lead to inaccurate model parameterisation and erroneous process understanding. In order to bridge the gap between the best practices for flow predictions in single catchments and multi-basins at the large scale, we present a further developed and slightly modified version of the recommended best practices for PUB by Takeuchi et al. (2013). By using examples from a recent HYPE (Hydrological Predictions for the Environment) hydrological model set-up across 6000 subbasins for the Indian subcontinent, named India-HYPE v1.0, we explore the PUB recommendations, identify challenges and recommend ways to overcome them. We describe the work process related to (a) errors and inconsistencies in global databases, unknown human impacts, and poor data quality; (b) robust approaches to identify model parameters using a stepwise calibration approach, remote sensing data, expert knowledge, and catchment similarities; and (c) evaluation based on flow signatures and performance metrics, using both multiple criteria and multiple variables, and independent gauges for "blind tests". The results show that despite the strong physiographical gradient over the subcontinent, a single model can describe the spatial variability in dominant hydrological processes at the catchment scale. In addition, spatial model deficiencies are used to identify potential improvements of the model concept. Eventually, through simultaneous calibration using numerous gauges, the median Kling–Gupta efficiency for river flow increased from 0.14 to 0.64. We finally demonstrate the potential of multi-basin modelling for comparative hydrology using PUB, by grouping the 6000 subbasins based on similarities in flow signatures to gain insights into the spatial patterns of flow generating processes at the large scale.
Evidence of recent changes in the ice regime of lakes in the Canadian High Arctic from spaceborne satellite observations
Authors: Surdu C. M. , Duguay C. R. , Fernández Prieto D.
Published: November 2015

Abstract. Arctic lakes, through their ice cover phenology, are a key indicator of climatic changes that the high-latitude environment is experiencing. In the case of lakes in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago (CAA), many of which are ice covered more than ten months per year, warmer temperatures could result in ice regime shifts. Within the dominant polar-desert environment, small local warmer areas have been identified. These relatively small regions – polar oases – with longer growing seasons, greater biological production and diversity, are confined from the surrounding barren polar desert. The ice regimes of 11 lakes located in both polar-desert and polar-oasis environments, with surface areas between 4 and 542 km2, many of unknown bathymetry, were documented. In order to investigate the response of ice cover of lakes in the CAA to climate conditions during recent years, a 15-year time series (1997–2011) of RADARSAT-1/2 ScanSAR Wide Swath, ASAR Wide Swath and Landsat acquisitions were analysed. Results show that melt onset (MO) occurred earlier for all observed lakes. With the exception of Lower Murray Lake, all lakes experienced earlier summer-ice minimum and water-clear-of-ice dates (WCI), with greater changes being observed for polar-oasis lakes (9–24 days earlier WCI dates for lakes located in polar oases and 2–20 days earlier WCI dates for polar-desert lakes). Additionally, results suggest that some lakes may be transitioning from a perennial/multiyear to a seasonal ice regime, with only a few lakes maintaining a multiyear ice cover on occasional years. Aside Lake Hazen and Murray Lakes that preserved their ice cover during the summer of 2009, no residual ice was observed on any of the other lakes from 2007 to 2011.
The Haube Revolt: Conflict and Disagreement in the Moravian Community of Nazareth, Pennsylvania, 1815
Authors: Peucker Paul
Published: November 2015

In 1815 the Moravian women in Nazareth replaced their traditional Moravian bonnets and with more contemporary headgear. This article places these actions in the context of a changing Moravian Church during the early republic. The events of 1815 reveal how Moravians were becoming Americanized and how they developed different expectations regarding personal freedom versus church control. The Haube Revolt may be seen against the backdrop of a growing sense of American liberty and national pride, fed by the changing tide of the War of 1812.

Investigaciones previas han puesto de manifiesto la importancia del estudio del autoconcepto durante la adolescencia. El objetivo de este estudio consistió en analizar las diferencias de género y edad en las distintas dimensiones del autoconcepto en una muestra de 1414 estudiantes chilenos de entre 13 y 18 años. El autoconcepto fue evaluado mediante la versión breve del SDQII. Los resultados evidenciaron diferencias de género para las dimensiones Autoconcepto Verbal, Apariencia Física, Sinceridad/Veracidad y Autoestima en favor de las jóvenes, así como diferencias en el Autoconcepto Matemático, Habilidades Físicas, Estabilidad Emocional y Relación con los Padres en favor de los varones. También se observó una tendencia en los alumnos de mayor edad a puntuar más alto en Autoconcepto Académico General, Habilidades Físicas, Apariencia Física, Relaciones con el Sexo Opuesto y Autoestima, que sus iguales de menor edad. Este mismo patrón, pero a la inversa, se obtuvo para las dimensiones de Autoconcepto Matemático, Verbal y Estabilidad Emocional. Los resultados no replicaron la tendencia de los varones, reportada en estudios previos, a valorar más positivamente su físico y a poseer una autoestima más elevada que las mujeres, así como a percibir más negativamente sus relaciones paterno-filiales.

A relação família e escola: a diversidade familiar compondo o contexto escolar
Authors: Palma Yáskara Arrial , Strey Marlene Neves
Published: November 2015

O presente artigo se propõe a compreender como está sendo exercida a relação entre a escola e as famílias homomaternais, ou seja, as constituídas por duas mulheres que se autoidentificam como lésbicas e suas crian-ças, sob a ótica das mães. O estudo qualita-tivo contou com onze mulheres que possu-em crianças em idade escolar. Foram utili-zadas entrevistas narrativas para coletar os dados trazidos pelas mães e após assinatura do TCLE, as entrevistas foram gravadas e transcritas. As narrações foram analisadas sob a ótica dos estudos feministas de gênero e também da Psicologia Social Sócio-Histórica. Os resultados apontaram que ain-da existe preconceito e estigmatizações con-tra quem está fora da norma heterossexual, porém podem ser identificados avanços na realidade escolar em entender o conceito de família de modo ampliado. Esses avanços podem indicar uma realidade brasileira tor-nando-se cada vez mais aberta para a ruptu-ra de padrões estereotipados de modos de ser e de viver.
A audição da criança na tomada de decisão dos magistrados
Authors: Melo Maria De Fátima , Sani Ana Isabel
Published: November 2015

Apresenta-se um estudo qualitativo que pretende analisar a importância que os magistrados atribuem à audição de crianças e jovens envolvidos em processos judiciais e a sua influência na tomada de decisão. Para o estudo constituiu-se uma amostra intencional de 12 magistrados com experiência profissional em Tribunais de Família e Menores, com idades entre os 43 e os 62 anos e de ambos sexos. A recolha de dados foi feita através de entrevista, tendo sido elaborado um guião semiestruturado e semidiretivo, previamente testado. As entrevistas duraram em média vinte minutos, sendo gravadas mediante consentimento informado e depois transcritas para análise de conteúdo. Os resultados revelam que a maior parte dos magistrados dá importância à audição das crianças, realçando os documentos nacionais e internacionais. A amostra admite que o critério primordial no qual baseiam a decisão judicial é o superior interesse da criança. Alguns elementos da amostra reconhecem que o que mais influencia a tomada de decisão é a opinião da criança e a perspetiva desta sobre as suas vivências quotidianas. Desta forma, é da responsabilidade dos magistrados a abertura necessária para que as vozes das crianças sejam valorizadas.
You Complete Me: Posthumous Works and Secondary Agency
Authors: Bacharach Sondra , Tollefsen Deborah
Published: November 2015

Many works are attributed to artists after their death, even when someone else has contributed substantively to the content of the work or when the work left by the artist is deemed incomplete by any standard of completion. Call these works posthumous works. These cases give rise to several interesting and related questions about the ontology of artworks and authorship: If the works are incomplete when the first artist dies, then can someone else complete them, or do they remain forever unfinished? Are works that are altered after the artist’s death new and distinct works? If they remain forever unfinished, then what is the unfinished works’ relation to the putatively "finished" work? If, on the other hand, they can be finished and are finished by someone other than the original artist (since the original artist is dead), then to whom to do we give credit: the deceased artist, the finishing artist, or both? Recent accounts of when an artwork is complete make posthumous works impossible. In this paper, we offer an explanation of how the unfinished work of the dead can be completed and why in these cases attributing the work to the dead is justified.

Emotional abuse is the most prevalent form of violence against Latinas. We examined dimensions and characteristics of Latino mothers’ and daughters’ exposure to emotional abuse and the associations between emotional abuse and heavy alcohol use and illicit drug illicit substance abuse. This 5-year longitudinal study included 112 Latino mothers and 121 Latino daughters. Analyses included: chi-square test and logistic regression. The proportion of women who reported being emotionally abused at Wave 2 but who did not report any emotional abuse during Wave 1 (5 years total) was 21.2% for daughters and 14.3% for mothers. Among emotionally abused women, 33.3% of mothers and 36.1% of daughters were abused by 2 or more people. Almost half of the mothers (48.0%) were emotionally abused by their son/daughter; 36.1% of daughters were emotionally abused by their mother. Mothers who abused drugs were more likely to be emotionally abused (OR = 3.86; 95% CI = 1.32, 11.34). Our findings suggest that attention should be given to emotional abuse and its potential for leading to substance abuse among Latinas.

Published: November 2015

Background: First start delays in the operating room have a downstream effect on operating room efficiency and patient satisfaction. In accordance with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, in February 2014, our institution adopted EPICTM as our electronic health record (EHR). The impact of the transition from paper to electronic documentation on operating room efficiency is not known. This study analyzed first start data as a measure of overall operative suite efficiency, looking at the initial impact and the learning curve to return to baseline parameters.Methods: A retrospective review of on time start data was reviewed for three months prior and 4 months after implementation of the EHR. A start was considered delayed if the patient arrived to the room after the 7:30 start time. Patients transported from the intensive care unit were excluded from analysis. Data was analyzed using control charts for the percentages and comparison of means using Dunnet’s methods. Confidence intervals were calculated at .05 and .01 for significance.Results: After EPIC implementation, there was an initial drop in on time starts from over 60% to 41% followed by gradual return to pre-implementation level within 4 months (p < .01).Conclusions: Implementation of an EHR produced decreased efficiency in on time first starts in the operative suite, but the learning curve was brief, returning to baseline values in 4 months. These findings can serve as a guide for other institutions that are undergoing transition from a paper to an electronic medical record.
