Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Diagnosed and Treated Early, in Prejaundice Phase
Authors: Denes M. , Borz Cristian , Torok A. , Jimborean O. , Marian D.
Published: November 2014

Hilar cholangiocarcinoma, Klatskin tumor or proximal bile duct cancer, is a tumor growing in the right hepatic duct, left hepatic duct or at their confluence. It is a relatively rare but devastating disease. The tight stricture of the biliary ducts and the development of obstructive jaundice are the main characteristics of the disease. In the early phase, symptoms are nonspecific and jaundice is not present, leading to delayed diagnosis and denying the possibility of curative treatment. We present the case of a 74 years old woman who was referred to us with ambiguous symptomatology and without jaundice. The ultrasound and CT scan showed dilation of the left biliary tree, without increase of the cholestatic enzymes. Magnetic resonance cholangiography depicted a tumor in the left hepatic duct (3X3 cm.) with enlargement of the bile ducts above. The surgical treatment consisted of left hepatectomy and hilar lymph nodes dissection. The pathology findings showed a cholangiocarcinoma with a few hilar nodes involvement. Our approach was potentially curative. Unfortunately these situations are seldom because in the majority of cases the patients have obstructive jaundice at presentation and the tumors are unresectable. We consider that a magnetic resonance cholangiography made when we suspect a bile duct tumor, leads us to an early diagnosis and gives us the possibility of a potential curative surgical treatment.
Rare Case of Immature Gastric Teratoma
Authors: Ivascu M. , Bembea M. , Jurca Claudia , Moldovan Corina , Buicu F.
Published: November 2014

Introduction

Teratomas are rare and complex tumors with components from more than one of the three germ cell layers. Teratomas range from benign, well-differentiated (mature) cystic lesions to those that are solid and malignant (immature). The incidence of all teratomas is estimated at 1:10,000-1:20,000 newborns. Gastric teratomas represent only 1-2% of all teratomas.

Case presentation We report a case of gastric teratoma of a 2 month-old boy who presented with abdominal distension. Diagnosis was established by physical examination, ultrasonography and computed tomography. The tumor measured 13/10/5.5 cm and weighted 390 grams and was surgically excised. Histological examination revealed an immature gastric teratoma. We also reviewed existing clinical and genetic data on gastric teratomas. Association of gastric teratomas with other congenital anomalies or tumors is very rare. Reported cases include: Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (involved:11p15, IGF2), Hodgkin disease (developed 3 yrs. post-resection) and focal neuroblastoma. Recent theories include extraembryonic cells; also have been hypothesized to originate from pluripotent cells present in the gastric wall.

Conclusion Gastric teratomas are extremely rare tumors. Complete resection induce a good outcome.
New Perspectives in the Management of Aortic Intramural Hematoma – a literature review
Authors: Pal Kinga , Rat Nora , Jako Beata , Bajka B. , Benedek I.
Published: November 2014

Aortic intramural hematoma frequently appear in elderly hypertensive patients who suffered a vasa vasorum rupture into the media, presenting clinical symptoms similar to aortic dissection. The current available data suggest a similar treatment strategy as in aortic dissection, although intramural hematoma is a different pathophysiological entity. The issue of the vulnerable contact of the intraaortic plaque, which is prone to rupture and to trigger the formation of an intramural hematoma, has not been elucidated so far. We present a brief literature review regarding complex plaque analysis, which opens a new area in identification of vulnerable patients with intramural hematoma, important for management of these patients and optimization of their treatment in order to avoid complications.
Species diversity of macrofungi on fallows in the buffer zones of the landscape parks in Łódzkie province
Authors: Adamczyk Jolanta
Published: November 2014

This study presents the species structure of macrofungi in different plant communities formed on fallows as a result of secondary succession. The mycological observations were carried out in 2012 and 2013 in the buffer zones of all landscape parks in the Łódzkie province, i.e. Bolimów LP, Spała LP, Sulejów LP, Warta-Widawka LP, Łódź Hills LP, Przedbórz LP and Załęcze LP. The botanical research identified fallows representing 7 types of plant communities. In total 46 macromycetes species were found on the fallows. The diversity of macrofungi depended on the type of plant community. The highest number of fungi species was found in the communities with an admixture of trees (Pinus sylvestris, Betula pendula), while the lowest was collected on fallows almost completely covered by Cirsium arvense and Solidago canadensis. Considering the trophic classification of macrofungi found on fallows, most species were saprotrophic and mycorrhizal. Wood inhabiting saprotrophs were represented by only two species.
The docile body – Reflecting the school
Authors: Bánovčanová Zuzana , Masaryková Dana
Published: November 2014

The paper deals with corporeality in the school environment from a historical perspective. The body has tended to appear and disappear in the discourse and scientific disciplines and has permeated education. This permeation can be viewed traditionally within Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological theory of the “lived body” but also in school discipline. Discipline is typically used to organise the school and is unquestionably associated with the body and corporeality. In this article, we therefore rely on Foucault’s theories. Docile bodies are typically found in schools and classrooms and are shaped by the institution so that they are easy to manage and control. In part, we demonstrate this using handwriting in schools as an example.
Context, Context, Context: Athanasius’ Biblical Interpretation in Contra Arianos
Authors: Fairbairn Donald
Published: November 2014

This article examines Athanasius’ argument in his work Contra Arianos, focusing on the reasons for the order in which he addresses the biblical texts he considers. While the choice of which texts to discuss is dictated by the need to consider those texts that were evidently important in the Arians’ own exegetical arguments, the order in which Athanasius discusses them derives from his desire to begin with biblical texts that clearly describe the whole sweep of biblical redemption. Texts such as Philippians 2:5-11 and Hebrews 1-2 describe in some detail the movements of humiliation and exaltation which the Son undergoes as he becomes man, and thus these texts demonstrate the need to apply any given assertion about the Son either to his eternal existence as God or to his temporal existence as man. In such texts, the literary context-the subject of the passage itself-explicitly describes the broader redemptive context. As a result, these texts constitute the starting point from which to develop interpretive principles applicable to other biblical texts in which the redemptive context is not as obvious. The article concludes with reflection on the significance of Athanasius’ starting point: the story of redemption begins not with the Gospels or even with Genesis 1, but with the eternal relationship of Father to Son, a relationship we were created to share and redeemed that we might share it anew.
The Christology of the Martyrdom of Polycarp: Martyrdom as Both Imitation of Christ and Election by Christ
Authors: Hartog Paul
Published: November 2014

The Martyrdom of Polycarp narrates a martyrdom ‘according to the Gospel’. Numerous facets of the text echo the passion materials of the Gospels, and Polycarp is directly said to imitate Christ. Various scholars have discussed the imitatio Christi theme within the work. Such an approach focuses upon Christ as an exemplar of suffering to be imitated, through specific events of similar suffering. But the Christology of the Martyrdom of Polycarp is far richer than this focus alone. Jesus Christ is also the Son, Savior, eternal high priest, teacher, elector, king, and alternative to Caesar. As the sovereign , he actively coordinates events and chooses martyrs from among his servants.

Published: November 2014

The problem of the preparedness formation of future teachers of vocational training to the professional adaptation under conditions of globalization processes in society is considered. The analysis of scientific and educational literature devoted to the study of occupational adaptation and preparedness formation of specialists to it is carried out. Different approaches to the interpretation of the term “adaptation” of the various sciences positions as in in our country and foreign scientific literature are analyzed. It is determined that the professional adaptation is the process of joining a young vocational education teacher in a new social environment in the system of interpersonal relations of particular staff, during which it is taking place the standards of thinking and behavior production in terms of values system and behavioral norms of the staff; readiness for occupational adaptation as one of the essential parameters of professional and social maturity of a person is the particular bound, which characterizes the internal readiness of a man to the qualitative changes.

Published: November 2014

The article deals with the experience of the use of the system of internal monitoring of the quality of higher education in UK Universities. There has been analyzed the existing model of the system of higher education monitoring at the level of a higher education institution within the scope of the British higher education model, discovered by a famous American education philosopher P. Monroe. There has been characterized the new document “The UK Quality Code for Higher Education”, which regulates the internal procedures of providing and monitoring the quality of UK universities. There have been provided the data of the comparative analysis of the trends of the internal monitoring of the Higher education quality of some UK universities. The monitoring trends, inherent in all higher education institutions, are the reports of external examiners, feedback of the students, reports of the institutional checkups. Other internal monitoring trends depend on the status, mission of an academic institution and are related to the polling of employers, higher education institutions’ alumni, analysis of the reports of the experts of the new curricula evaluation boards, etc. There has been analyzed the cyclic model of higher education monitoring in UK universities.

Advanced Training of Labour Force: The Usa Experience
Authors: Sushentsev Artem
Published: November 2014

The importance of professional development of labor force directly in the workplace has been proved. It’s revealed that this is due not only to questions of advanced training, but also to the improvement of the situation on the labor market of unskilled groups of citizen. The current labor market recognizes the value and importance of people. Along with this a key and fundamental is stability and predictability in the workplace. It is proved that in the center of each production system are people and their collective beliefs and behavior of production culture. An important point here has their adaptation to the new and conditions of work. The requirements of the labor market to the production staff in terms of different employers have been defined. It is revealed that the professional development of labor force according to labor market requirements is not isolated events, but the use of various programs (including program TWI “J”), continuous implementation of “lean tools”, vehicles, methods, ways of staff thinking.

Authors: Ahmed Naser , Parvin Rukhsana , Azad Md Abul Kalam
Published: November 2014

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is usually associated with polycythemia. It is assumed that systemic inflammatory components of COPD can interfere with erythropoietin and can result in anemia of chronic disease which will impair the functional capacity of these patients and also increase morbidity and mortality. Objective: To evaluate anemia status in COPD patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in clinically stable 50 COPD patients in the outpatient department of Medicine in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka during the period of July to December 2011. The demographic characteristics, smoking habit, duration of disease, types and severity of anemia, BMI and results of 6-minute walk test were recorded. Results: Out of 50 COPD patients, 76% were male and 24% were female. Among them 32% patients were anemic, 20% were polycythemic and 48% patients had normal hemoglobin. Among the anemic patients with COPD, 87% were male and 13% were female,75% were mildly anemic and 4% moderately anemic, 62.5% had normocytic and 37.5% had microcytic anemia. Conclusion: Anemia in COPD patients is often overlooked and underestimated. Clinicians should be aware of the presence of anemia in patients with COPD so that appropriate treatment could be initiated to improve the quality of life and prognosis DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jemc.v4i3.20943 J Enam Med Col 2014; 4(3): 151-155
Interreligious Dialogue, Comparative Theology and the Alterity of Hindu Thought
Authors: Barua Ankur
Published: November 2014

A key question at the heart of contemporary debates over interreligious dialogue is whether the Christian partner in such conversations should view her interlocutors through the lens of Christian descriptions or whether any such imaging amounts to a form of Christian imperialism. We look at the responses to this question from certain contemporary forms of ‘particularism’ which regard religious universes as densely knit, and sometimes incommensurable, systems of meanings, so that they usually deny the significance, or even the possibility, of modes of bible preaching such as apologetics. While these concerns over the alterity of other religious traditions are often viewed as specifically postmodern, two Scotsmen in British India, J. N. Farquhar (1861–1929) and A. G. Hogg (1875–1954), struggled exactly a hundred years ago with a version of this question vis-à-vis the religious universe of Vedāntic Hinduism and responded to it in a manner that has striking resemblances to ‘particularism’. We shall argue that Hogg can be seen as an early practitioner of a form of ‘comparative theology’ which emerges in his case, on the one hand, through a textual engagement with specific problems thrown up in interreligious spaces but, on the other hand, also seeks to present a reasoned defence of Christian doctrinal statements. We shall note a crucial difference between his comparative theological encounters and contemporary practitioners of the same – while the latter are usually wary of speaking of any ‘common ground’ in interreligious encounters, Hogg regarded the presuppositions of the Christian faith as the basis of such encounters. The writings of both groups of theologians are structured by certain ‘dilemmas of difference’ that we explore.
Mapping Global Atmospheric CO2 Concentration at High Spatiotemporal Resolution
Authors: Jing Yingying , Shi Jiancheng , Wang Tianxing , Sussmann Ralf
Published: November 2014

Satellite measurements of the spatiotemporal distributions of atmospheric CO2 concentrations are a key component for better understanding global carbon cycle characteristics. Currently, several satellite instruments such as the Greenhouse gases Observing SATellite (GOSAT), SCanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric CHartographY (SCIAMACHY), and Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 can be used to measure CO2 column-averaged dry air mole fractions. However, because of cloud effects, a single satellite can only provide limited CO2 data, resulting in significant uncertainty in the characterization of the spatiotemporal distribution of atmospheric CO2 concentrations. In this study, a new physical data fusion technique is proposed to combine the GOSAT and SCIAMACHY measurements. On the basis of the fused dataset, a gap-filling method developed by modeling the spatial correlation structures of CO2 concentrations is presented with the goal of generating global land CO2 distribution maps with high spatiotemporal resolution. The results show that, compared with the single satellite dataset (i.e., GOSAT or SCIAMACHY), the global spatial coverage of the fused dataset is significantly increased (reaching up to approximately 20%), and the temporal resolution is improved by two or three times. The spatial coverage and monthly variations of the generated global CO2 distributions are also investigated. Comparisons with ground-based Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) measurements reveal that CO2 distributions based on the gap-filling method show good agreement with TCCON records despite some biases. These results demonstrate that the fused dataset as well as the gap-filling method are rather effective to generate global CO2 distribution with high accuracies and high spatiotemporal resolution.
Tribute to Professor Anthony J. McMichael
Authors: Swaminathan Ashwin , Lucas Robyn , Harley David
Published: November 2014

Emeritus Professor A. J. “Tony” McMichael (1942–2014) was an internationally renowned and pioneering Australian academic and advocate in epidemiology, who was passionate about understanding the influences of the environment on human health. In an illustrious career spanning more than four decades, he made significant contributions to the scientific community and policy discourse—including ground-breaking research related to the health of children. McMichael was a prolific academic writer with over 300 peer-reviewed papers; 160 book chapters and two sole-authored books. However, his outstanding talent was for integrating complex and seemingly unrelated strands from the environmental and health sciences into a cohesive narrative—and highlighting its relevance to lay persons, scientists and governments alike. He was instrumental in validating this nascent field of research and inspiring many others to follow his lead.
The Application of Discontinuous Galerkin Methods in Conjugate Heat Transfer Simulations of Gas Turbines
Authors: Hao Zeng-Rong , Gu Chun-Wei , Ren Xiao-Dong
Published: November 2014

The performance of modern heavy-duty gas turbines is greatly determined by the accurate numerical predictions of thermal loading on the hot-end components. The purpose of this paper is: (1) to present an approach applying a novel numerical technique—the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method—to conjugate heat transfer (CHT) simulations, develop the engineering-oriented numerical platform, and validate the feasibility of the methodology and tool preliminarily; and (2) to utilize the constructed platform to investigate the aerothermodynamic features of a typical transonic turbine vane with convection cooling. Fluid dynamic and solid heat conductive equations are discretized into explicit DG formulations. A centroid-expanded Taylor basis is adopted for various types of elements. The Bassi-Rebay method is used in the computation of gradients. A coupled strategy based on a data exchange process via numerical flux on interface quadrature points is simply devised. Additionally, various turbulence Reynolds-Averaged-Navier-Stokes (RANS) models and the local-variable-based transition model γ-Reθ are assimilated into the integral framework, combining sophisticated modelling with the innovative algorithm. Numerical tests exhibit good consistency between computational and analytical or experimental results, demonstrating that the presented approach and tool can handle well general CHT simulations. Application and analysis in the turbine vane, focusing on features around where there in cluster exist shock, separation and transition, illustrate the effects of Bradshaw’s shear stress limitation and separation-induced-transition modelling. The general overestimation of heat transfer intensity behind shock is conjectured to be associated with compressibility effects on transition modeling. This work presents an unconventional formulation in CHT problems and achieves its engineering applications in gas turbines.
Goniolactone C, a Styryl Lactone Derivative, Inhibits PDGF-BB-Induced Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Migration and Proliferation via PDGFR/ERK Signaling
Authors: Sun Lan , Zhao Rui , Lan Xi , Chen Ruoyun , Wang Si , Du Guanhua
Published: November 2014

Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and its downstream effector, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) MAP kinase, initiate a multitude of biological effects, including vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) proliferation and migration, which are critical events in the initiation and development of restenosis following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). Styryl lactones are natural products that have been demonstrated to possess anti-proliferative activities. Goniolactone C is a styryl lactone derivative that was first extracted from Goniothalamus cheliensis Hu. In the present study, we investigated the effects of goniolactone C on VSMC migration and proliferation. We found that goniolactone C preferentially interacted with cellular systems that rely on PDGF signaling but not those that rely on epidermal growth factor (EGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) signaling. Goniolactone C strongly inhibited PDGF-BB-induced VSMC migration and proliferation. goniolactone C-mediated inhibition of VSMC proliferation was associated with cell cycle arrest, while goniolactone C-mediated inhibition of VSMC migration was associated with the suppression of adhesion molecule expression. In addition, goniolactone C directly inhibited PDGFR-β kinase activity, thereby blocking the downstream effector of PDGF-BB. Thus, the results of the present study suggest a novel adjunctive pharmacological strategy that may be used to prevent angioplasty-related restenosis.
Special Issue: Redox Active Natural Products and Their Interaction with Cellular Signalling Pathways
Authors: Jacob Claus
Published: November 2014

During the last decade, research into natural products has experienced a certain renaissance. The urgent need for more and more effective antibiotics in medicine, the demand for ecologically friendly plant protectants in agriculture, “natural” cosmetics and the issue of a sustainable and healthy nutrition in an ageing society have fuelled research into Nature’s treasure chest of “green gold”. Here, redox active secondary metabolites from plants, fungi, bacteria and other (micro-)organisms often have been at the forefront of the most interesting developments. These agents provide powerful means to interfere with many, probably most cellular signaling pathways in humans, animals and lower organisms, and therefore can be used to protect, i.e., in form of antioxidants, and to frighten off or even kill, i.e., in form of repellants, antibiotics, fungicides and selective, often catalytic “sensor/effector” anticancer agents. Interestingly, whilst natural product research dates back many decades, in some cases even centuries, and compounds such as allicin and various flavonoids have been investigated thoroughly in the past, it has only recently become possible to investigate their precise interactions and mode(s) of action inside living cells. Here, fluorescent staining and labelling on the one side, and appropriate detection, either qualitatively under the microscope or quantitatively in flow cytometers and plate readers, on the other, enable researchers to obtain the various pieces of information necessary to construct a fairly complete puzzle of how such compounds act and interact in living cells. Complemented by the more traditional activity assays and Western Blots, and increasingly joined by techniques such as proteomics, chemogenetic screening and mRNA profiling, these cell based bioanalytical techniques form a powerful platform for “intracellular diagnostics”. In the case of redox active compounds, especially of Reactive Sulfur Species (RSS), such techniques have recently unraveled concepts such as the “cellular thiolstat”, yet considerably more research is required in order to gain a full understanding of why and how such compounds act—often selectively—in different organisms.
Analysis of the Influencing Factors on Resettled Farmer’s Satisfaction under the Policy of the Balance between Urban Construction Land Increasing and Rural Construction Land Decreasing: A Case Study of China’s Xinjin County in Chengdu City
Authors: Shui Wei , Bai Jianping , Zhang Su , Chen Yiping
Published: November 2014

The purpose of this study is to explore what are the influencing factors on resettled farmer’s satisfaction and occupancy under the policy of the balance between urban construction land increasing and rural construction land decreasing in Xinjin County, Chengdu City. Questionnaires, statistical analysis and logistic regressions were employed. The results indicate that the higher educated farmers will be more satisfied with the relocation areas. An increase in the number of public facilities and the associated maintenance costs will decrease the resettled farmer’s satisfaction. Farmers who have moved to new communities are more satisfied with infrastructure, supporting facilities and property management, especially the living environment. The main tasks completed by farmers are the tillage land and to do work for their new community. The positive factors that contribute to the famer’s satisfaction, include land-rights guarantees, compensation for land consolidation, sewage treatment and the living environment. In contrast, public facilities, commercial service networks and resettled area’s maintenance are negative factors for farmer’s satisfaction. Meanwhile, the key factors to promoting harmony between urban and rural construction are to establish relevant laws and regulations, reasonable operation and management mechanisms, farmer-rights protection mechanisms, and to protect famer household income, as well as to improve agricultural production and farmer’s non-agricultural employment opportunity.

Part I. Interpreting a geometric-figurative mosaic of the late Roman villa at Piazza Armerina.

The first part of this study shows, on the basis of the identification of the central figurative scene of a geometric mosaic floor, that one can find an astonishing complexity even in that type of geometric structure. The central figure, interpreted only superficially until now, turns out to be a well-planned composition, whose depth can only be perceived in relation with the whole network of all the mosaics (see part II).
Le processus de la décision dans le synoecisme de Thésée d’après L’éloge d’Hélène d’Isocrate (§ 32-37)
Authors: David Sylvie
Published: November 2014

Cet article étudie les différentes étapes qui conduisent Thésée à prendre la décision de réaliser le synoecisme et de doter la cité nouvellement formée d’un régime politique spécifique. Constatant les méfaits de la tyrannie, il instaure une démocratie du mérite en vertu de laquelle le peuple remet son pouvoir entre les mains de l’homme jugé le plus apte à gouverner, en l’occurrence Thésée lui-même. Dans ces conditions, monarchie – gouvernement d’un seul – et démocratie – pouvoir du peuple – ne sont pas antinomiques. La réflexion d’Isocrate vise cependant moins à prôner un type de régime qu’à stimuler les vertus civiques de ses concitoyens, par le rappel du dévouement exemplaire de Thésée à la cité en des temps mythiques.

Enigmatic Vintius.

The epigraphic evidence of the city of Vienna makes us know a still enigmatic indigenous deity : Vintius.

Worshipped by the city aristocracy as soon as the beginning of the Empire, it looks as if he were the tutelar god of the pagus of Diana, located around the banks of the Rhone and Fier rivers. The adjunction of the epithet Augustus

De moira aux Moirai, de l’épopée à la généalogie : approche historique et poétique de l’autorité de Zeus, maître du destin (Iliade, Odyssée, Théogonie)
Authors: Mackowiak Karin
Published: November 2014

From moira to Moirai, from épic to genealogy : historical and poetical approach on Zeus’ authority upon destiny (Iliad, Odyssey, Theogony).

The representations of destiny in Greek archaic literature need to be studied from a historian’s point of view which combines poetic creation and social evolutions as well as religious beliefs. Whereas Homer’s Iliad creates an epical moira playing a key role in the visualization of aristocratic merits, the Odyssey integrates the destiny in a cosmical function, in which Zeus, previously the origin and active source of the gift of moira, becomes, as cosmic sovereign, a rather passive guardian. In fine, the genealogy of the Moirai, an elaborate poetic conception with important discursives stakes, puts forward another mode of action, in which one can see Zeus’ unending role as dispenser of destiny, in accordance with the hesiodian principle of Dikè.
Extrañas ausencias: las fiestas marítimas en el calendario litúrgico griego
Authors: Romero Recio Mirella
Published: November 2014

Este artículo pretende defender el carácter marino de algunas festividades griegas. El trabajo trata de incidir en una serie de elementos que podrían ayudar a entender mejor el calendario ritual griego, sobre todo el que estuvo en uso en la región del Ática. Esos elementos son : la antigüedad de las fiestas a las que se alude, la existencia de elementos asociados al mar en estas celebraciones y el vínculo de las deidades a las que están dedicadas con la navegación. El artículo plantea que es posible que a medida que el comercio prexis cedió su lugar al comercio emporíe y que los aristócratas se fueron desvinculando de la práctica comercial, los dioses también se fueron desmarcando de ese ámbito de actuación. Es por esta razón por la que, también a medida que la aristocracia se fue alejando de celebraciones asociadas a la navegación como actividad indisolublemente unida al comercio, se fue acercando más a la práctica marítima relacionada con la guerra, de ahí que, en un momento en el que la armada cobró mayor protagonismo, las divinidades retomaron su carácter marino en algunas fiestas y se incorporaron elementos que aludían a este ámbito.
Characterization of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid Langmuir–Blodgett monolayers and their use in metal–insulator–metal tunnel devices

Published: November 2014

The characterization of Langmuir–Blodgett thin films of 10,12-pentacosadiynoic acid (PDA) and their use in metal–insulator–metal (MIM) devices were studied. The Langmuir monolayer behavior of the PDA film was studied at the air/water interface using surface tension–area isotherms of polymeric and monomeric PDA. Langmuir–Blodgett (LB, vertical deposition) and Langmuir–Schaefer (LS, horizontal deposition) techniques were used to deposit the PDA film on various substrates (glass, quartz, silicon, and nickel-coated film on glass). The electrochemical, electrical and optical properties of the LB and LS PDA films were studied using cyclic voltammetry, current–voltage characteristics (I–V), and UV–vis and FTIR spectroscopies. Atomic force microscopy measurements were performed in order to analyze the surface morphology and roughness of the films. A MIM tunnel diode was fabricated using a PDA monolayer assembly as the insulating barrier, which was sandwiched between two nickel layers. The precise control of the thickness of the insulating monolayers proved critical for electron tunneling to take place in the MIM structure. The current–voltage characteristics of the MIM diode revealed tunneling behavior in the fabricated Ni–PDA LB film–Ni structures.

Sous l’artifice... la nature. La nature encore et toujours, nous échappe. Ni l’environnement ni le paysage ne peuvent totalement rendre compte de la crise contemporaine de la nature dans son rapport avec les sociétés et leurs cultures. Alors qu’elle s’artificialise, s’émiette et se dégrade la nature est doublement de retour : retour d’une nature physique dans des manifestations de plus en plus violentes et dévastatrices, retour d’une nature idéelle dans la pensée et la sensibilité, l’art et le rêve pour des paradis de plus en plus artificiels. Ce paradoxe de la nature doit être abordé de front. Si « la méthode est un discours de circonstance » (G. Bachelard), l’artificialisation accélérée de la nature doit être considérée comme processus dominant et principe fondateur d’un « discours de la méthode ».
Paysage et environnement en histoire : échapper au brouillage
Authors: Walter François
Published: November 2014

Ce texte a pour objectif de faire le point sur les grandes questions qui préoccupent les historiens lorsqu’ils abordent des thèmes liés au paysage et à l’environnement. D’une part, il s’agit d’exploiter la richesse heuristique des deux concepts pour les différencier mais aussi de comprendre ce qui les rapproche. Se posent en particulier la question du dualisme Nature et Culture et celle de l’opposition jugée factice entre les représentations et la réalité physique de l’environnement. En outre, le récit historique est toujours confronté à celui des origines comme si l’histoire était réductible à une opération de généalogie. Les choix épistémologiques qui en découlent servent à la partition du champ de recherche mais aussi à légitimer des positions de pouvoir. L’histoire environnementale est toute entière traversée par de tels enjeux qu’il s’agit impérativement de clarifier.

Published: November 2014

Cet article analyse le processus de cartographie de la radiation par des amateurs suite à la catastrophe nucléaire de Fukushima Daiichi le 11 mars 2011 et la crise informationnelle qui en a résulté. L’hypothèse défendue est que ces cartes ont été réalisées afin de soutenir un processus de « remédiation » de cet événement, au cours duquel des citoyens non-cartographes ont créé des données de radiation et des cartes afin de formuler une opinion sur le niveau et la localisation de la radiation nucléaire. L’analyse de ces cartes de radiation de type « mashup » met en avant trois temps dans cette action : tout d’abord, un travail collaboratif a eu lieu hors-ligne et en ligne pour obtenir les données de radiation afin d’alimenter les cartes ; celles-ci, une fois réalisées, ont servi à l’agrégation de données de différentes sources afin de se rapprocher d’une description en temps réel de la crise et de vérifier les annonces du gouvernement ; enfin, cette activité de mesure et de cartographie de la radiation est restée liée à la situation de crise après l’explosion, et n’a pas pris la forme d’une infrastructure pérenne permettant de fournir un référent commun pour la mesure de la radiation.
L'expression latérale du transfert
Authors: Denis Paul
Published: November 2014

L’expression latérale du transfert Les références au transfert latéral, rares dans lalittérature psychanalytique, ont été surtout l’objet d’auteurs françaiset de communications orales plus que de publications. De fait, il n’est pas decure psychanalytique où n’apparaissent des éléments de transfert latéral.La conduite de la cure implique de reconnaître et de ménager ces phénomènesde latéralisation qui sont des moyens d’aménager l’économie du transfert.L’absence de tout phénomène de latéralisation du transfert pourraitdéfinir le transfert passionnel. La notion de clivage du transfert, appliquéepar P. Greenacre aux analyses de formation, est transposable dans nombre desituations de la pratique clinique ordinaire.

Les problèmes de l'apprentissage collégial en psychanalyse : narcissisme et curiosité
Authors: Poland Warren S.
Published: November 2014

Les problèmes de l’apprentissage collégial en psychanalyse : narcissisme et curiosité Les analystes ne réussissent pas à s’entendre et à separler entre eux avec suffisamment de respect et d’ouverture d’esprit. Unedes raisons examinées ici est l’interaction entre les forces du narcissisme,tournées vers le soi, et celles de la curiosité, dirigées versl’extérieur. Certaines limites à la communication collégiale sontstructurellement inhérentes à l’esprit humain (isolation des aspects del’expérience afin de concentrer l’attention sur eux, tendance de l’esprità développer une pensée à partir de catégories), d’autres liées à lapsychologie individuelle (vulnérabilité de l’estime de soi) ou en rapportavec la dynamique de groupe (les allégeances suscitées par les nouvellesidées, le développement d’écoles radicales, la concurrence entre écoles).Le présent texte traite également des influences culturelles et des façonsdiversement déterminées d’employer le langage.
L'événement et la temporalité. L'après-coup dans la cure.
Authors: Dreyfus-Asséo Sylvie
Published: November 2014

L’événement et la temporalité. L’après-coup dans la cure. Discussion La dissymétrie implique par elle-même la précession du contre-transfert dans la première rencontre. La description du cas Aurore en est l’exemplification. Tout autant que l’appel à l’autre pour que l’événement traumatique se transforme en après-coup, la fonction tiercéisante du dispositif de la cure, le cadre interne de l’analyste, le dégagement de l’emprise de l’objet omnipotent, pour l’analysant comme pour l’analyse, permettent l’ouverture du jeu interinstanciel. Quant à l’inconscient surgi du dehors, de quel « dehors » s’agit-il : l’événement peut-il être considéré comme l’avènement de la liaison ? À propos des traumas précoces : la problématique de l’après-coup en permet-elle l’abord, sans envisager les modalités de traitement des empiétements narcissiques du Moi ? Enfin, se pose la question de la fonction de l’interprétation comme élément constituant de la finalité de l’après-coup à travers la réappropriation interne du cadre par l’analyste lui-même.
L'après-coup.
Authors: Chervet Bernard
Published: November 2014

L’après-coup. La tentative d’inscrire ce qui tend à disparaître Le travail de l’après-coup est impliqué dans toutes les activités psychiques. Il se réalise en deux temps dans la passivité et l’intemporalité, et agit la dimension théorisante de la pensée. Il est mû par une régressivité extinctive et un impératif de retenue et de mentalisation. Le premier temps est une fabrique de retours à fonction antitraumatique ; le second, génératif, une fabrique de formations incidentes. La transposition entre l’extinctivité et la trace manquante ainsi que la fonction palliative des traces mnésiques expliquent son insaisissabilité et sa complexité. Une opération de meurtre est à son principe. Elle porte sur l’extinctivité et fonde le masochisme de fonctionnement. L’incertitude de son effectuation et la prégnance de sa surdétermination se conjuguent dans l’imprévisibilité de son résultat.
Transposition et après-coup
Authors: Beetschen André
Published: November 2014

Transposition et après-coup Le rapport de B. Chervet, en réévaluant la question de l’ « après-coup » dans la suite du remaniement, en 1920, de la théorie des pulsions, installe son procès dans une double perspective : d’une part, celle d’une extension métapsychologique qui lui donne une fonction générative ; d’autre part, celle d’une conception d’un traumatisme endogène lié à la « régressivité extinctive » de la pulsion, régressivité sans autre représentance qu’économique. Ce point de vue amène à discuter la notion de « transposition » (différente de celle de liaison) sur des qualités perceptives, au premier rang desquelles sont celles de la castration, avec la proposition faite de traiter le disparaître par la perception du manquant. L’ « impératif processuel » est également interrogé dans son lien au Surmoi ou sa nature téléologique : comment, à partir de la « trace manquante », anime-t-il la pensée théorisante, cet effet du procès d’après-coup ?
Comment traduit-on Nachträglichkeit en italien ?
Authors: Balsamo Maurizio
Published: November 2014

Comme traduit-on Nachträglichkeit en italien ? La traduction de la Nachträglichkeit en italien montre, dans son indécision entre les termes anglais ou français, soit une incertitude métapsychologique, soit le rapport entre culture psychanalytique, influence et résistances aux autres cultures. Mais, à côté de ces difficultés, il y a aussi, dans le multilinguisme, une richesse et une pluralité de signifiés que la « langue unique » nous ferait inévitablement perdre.
Les figures du temps dans la vieillesse et la méthode de la diversion chez Montaigne
Authors: Canestri Jorge
Published: November 2014

Les figures du temps dans la vieillesse et la méthode de la diversion chez Montaigne La psychanalyse est porteuse d’une révolution équivalente à celle de la physique au XXe siècle pour ce qui est du concept de temps et de temporalité. L’après-coup freudien en offre un des exemples les plus parlants. Dans ces notes, l’auteur se limite à un aperçu du problème de la temporalité dans la vie humaine, avec une attention particulière pour la vieillesse. Le problème de la temporalité constitue un préalable nécessaire, à son avis, à la discussion de la question de l’après-coup.
Un après-coup à contretemps ?
Authors: Duparc François
Published: November 2014

Un après-coup à contretemps ? « être en avance sur son temps », « prendre son sens après coup », « avoir un temps de retard » sont des expressions qui traduisent bien les trois dimensions de la temporalité psychique : temps de l’évolution ou en strates, temps en boucle entre régression et après-coup, et figures du temps selon le rythme propre à chaque acteur de l’environnement familial du sujet. Ces trois dimensions sont nécessaires pour éviter un aplatissement de l’élaboration psychique dans la compulsion de répétition mortifère, et une fixation dans le cadre et le contre-transfert théorique. Ferenczi et Lacan sont deux exemples opposés de ces avatars, même si le premier était partisan d’une révision critique après coup de ses engagements techniques, ce que le second a esquivé dans un clivage en un ordre symbolique atemporel et des agirs de scansion parfois intempestifs.
Le féminin, un futur antérieur
Authors: Glas Jérôme
Published: November 2014

Le féminin, un futur antérieur L’auteur propose une réflexion sur l’intégration du féminin psychique en appui sur le narcissisme originaire, préforme nécessaire à l’intégration de ce dernier. La conceptualisation du narcissisme originaire, quant à elle, s’entend comme structure structurée disposée à fonctionner comme structure structurante, issue de l’identification modélique à l’objet et de sa ressaisie après-coup.
Au futur antérieur de l'impératif
Authors: Picco Michel
Published: November 2014

Au futur antérieur de l’impératif À partir de l’observation d’un jeune enfant anticipant par ses propos une position parentale, l’auteur s’interroge sur les mouvements d’après-coup qui mènent à l’organisation du Surmoi. L’utilisation du langage, le déploiement d’une chronologie des événements supportée par l’usage des temps composés, apparaît comme un procédé par lequel ce processus s’étaie et s’accomplit.
Crainte de l'effondrement, deuil gelé : temps arrêté
Authors: Ribas Denys
Published: November 2014

Crainte de l’effondrement, deuil gelé : temps arrêté L’auteur discute la compréhension de la crainte de l’effondrement comme un après-coup (J. André), préférant réserver ce qualificatif à son traitement par Winnicott pour préserver à cette configuration clinique son caractère de défense de survie. Il discute ensuite la compréhension du caractère conservateur des deux pulsions de vie et de mort par B. Chervet, soulignant l’intérêt de conserver l’asymétrie des deux pulsions et d’enraciner le processus dans la pulsionnalité du patient face à l’immobilisation d’un deuil traumatique.
L'après-coup et les deux topiques : à propos de M. Jourdain et de l'odeur des roses
Authors: Abella Adela
Published: November 2014

L’après-coup et les deux topiques : à propos de M. Jourdain et de l’odeur des roses La notion de Nachträglichkeit apparaît, dans l’opus freudien, intimement liée à la première topique. Or la question se pose : de quelle manière la réalité clinique à laquelle ce concept se réfère, est-elle approchée à partir de la deuxième topique ? La notion de fantasme inconscient, souvent mal comprise, ainsi que celle de « fait choisi » permettent de rendre compte autrement des processus de transformation et de re-signification propres à l’après-coup.
Un après-coup épistémologique : l'œuvre de Freud traversée par la théorie neuroscientifique de l' « Esquisse »
Authors: Bizzozero Vittorio
Published: November 2014

Un après-coup épistémologique : l’œuvre de Freud traversée par la théorie neuroscientifique de l’ « Esquisse » Les trois instances de la deuxième topique – Ça, Moi et Surmoi –, sont « travaillées » à partir de l’ « Esquisse » pour en faire des structures neurales, des configurations complexes qui gèrent le fonctionnement de l’individu. Cet après-coup épistémologique élargit les théorisations freudiennes en y introduisant un vecteur neuroscientifique.
