Le lien armée-nation dans les musées militaires français rénovés
Authors: Mary Julien
Published: January 2017

En France, les musées du ministère de la Défense sont aujourd’hui structurellement contraints de s’ouvrir aux publics civils, a fortiori scolaires. Ces conservatoires muséaux, où la nation n’avait jusqu’à présent sa place qu’à la marge d’expositions essentiellement centrées sur la fabrique identitaire de la composante muséalisée – Infanterie, Légion étrangère, etc. –, sont désormais lancés à la reconquête d’un lien armée-nation particulièrement mis à l’épreuve du XXe siècle. Soumis à des contingences résultant de leur plus large ouverture et impliquant en retour une relative démilitarisation de leurs discours et modes de fonctionnement, ces musées continuent néanmoins à entretenir d’étroits rapports avec l’institution militaire et, surtout, à présenter des expositions dont les enjeux paraissent encore difficilement accessibles aux publics non militaires. En transition, ces musées d’arme peuvent cependant s’inspirer du musée-phare du ministère de la Défense, le musée de l’Armée, dont l’actuelle rénovation tente de faire tenir ensemble lectures militaires des guerres et didactiques civiles de l’histoire.
Compensation en droit privé turc
Authors: Murat Develioğlu Hüseyin
Published: January 2017

Le mécanisme de la compensation change d’un pays à l’autre. Certains pays – comme la France – prévoient un système automatique, tandis que les autres – comme la Turquie – exigent la déclaration du compensant pour que la compensation produise ses effets. La première condition de la compensation, en droit turc, est la réciprocité des créances ; en effet, le compensant et le compensé doivent être à la fois créancier et débiteur l’un de l’autre. Deuxièmement, la compensation présuppose l’identité des prestations du compensant et du compensé. Troisièmement, la dette du compensé doit être exigible ; pourtant le fait que celle du compensant soit exécutable suffit pour que la déclaration de compensation soit efficace. Enfin, les créances réciproques doivent être compensables ; cela veut dire qu’il n’y a aucune règle – comme l’article 144 CO ou l’article 200 LP – qui empêche que la dette d’une des parties soit éteinte par la voie de la compensation. Si les quatre conditions prévues sont réunies, les deux dettes sont éteintes jusqu’à concurrence du montant de la plus faible, suivant la déclaration de la compensation.
Les caractéristiques classiquement attribuées à la Common Law
Authors: Morissette Yves-marie
Published: January 2017

Ce texte s’attache à dégager plusieurs des traits les plus distinctifs de la tradition de common law. Il souligne d’abord sous quatre aspects principaux l’importance que revêtent ses racines historiques : le rôle primordial des tribunaux royaux dans sa genèse de 1066 jusqu’au XIXème siècle, la lente émergence de l’equity, la place longtemps secondaire de la loi et l’apparition tardive d’une «science du droit » . En seconde partie, l’auteur décrit le rayonnement actuel de cette tradition, le cadre institutionnel et procédural caractéristique des systèmes de common law, la place prépondérante qu’y occupe aujourd’hui la loi, certains signes de convergence avec la tradition civiliste (qu’illustre la notion de bonne foi dans le droit des contrats) et le ferment qu’y constituent aujourd’hui les travaux savants (legal scholarship).
Le droit de résistance à l’oppression en droit constitutionnel comparé
Authors: Fragkou Roxani
Published: January 2017

Érigée en droit naturel par l’article 2 de la Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen de 1789, «la résistance à l’oppression » – ce phénomène qui imprègne de façon durable l’histoire et les valeurs des deux Révolutions du XVIIIe siècle en traversant l’histoire de la pensée juridique – ne s’est jamais vue accorder une valeur effective ni par la doctrine, ni par la jurisprudence. Cela dit, il n’empêche que le droit de résistance, agissant dans ce cas comme «une arme de dissuasion » , possède une valeur pragmatique, plutôt morale et pédagogique que juridique. Tel un vrai «droit de vigilance démocratique » , destiné à garder toujours «éclairée » la conscience démocratique des citoyens. La présente étude aspire à ébaucher une réponse à la question de savoir si et dans quelle mesure le droit de résistance, en tant que droit d’ordre constitutionnel, constitue la limite ultime à l’abolition de la Constitution, lorsque toute autre garantie constitutionnelle, préventive ou répressive, s’est avérée insuffisante et inapte à assurer la sauvegarde de l’ordre constitutionnel établi. Mission qui ne sera sûrement pas facilitée par la nature ambivalente de ce droit de résister à l’oppression, un droit toujours oscillant entre portée juridique et valeur politico-morale symbolique.
Prendre le droit soviétique au sérieux
Authors: Lara Philippe de
Published: January 2017

Le droit soviétique n’était à proprement parler ni du droit au sens courant ni le simple paravent d’un pouvoir arbitraire, mais plutôt un droit «de type nouveau » , caractérisé par une tension structurelle entre dépérissement du droit et édification d’un droit socialiste. Sa fonction était de rendre compatible le contrôle intégral de la vie sociale par le parti et le besoin d’une régulation juridique de l’économie et de la société. La vie quotidienne (ici les contrats entre entreprises) n’était ni absorbé par le pouvoir idéologique ni dotée d’une dynamique indépendante. Cette analyse éclaire la question de la longue durée, faite de changements et de continuités, du régime soviétique. L’article est basé sur le droit comparé occidental de l’URSS et discute en annexe l’oeuvre de Harold Berman (1918-2007), un important représentant de la théorie «réaliste » du droit aux États-Unis.
« L’homme et la femme » : question d’interprétation. Comparaison franco-espagnole du mariage entre personnes de même sexe
Authors: Bousta Rhita
Published: January 2017

Au-delà de leur apparente uniformité, les réformes ouvrant le mariage aux couples de même sexe comportent des différences résultant de cultures juridiques distinctes. En comparant la loi espagnole de 2005 avec la récente réforme française de 2013, cet article met en évidence la disparité de contextes constitutionnels dans lesquels les législateurs de ces deux États étaient placés. Il en résulte en outre une divergence implicite dans l’interprétation de l’expression «l’homme et la femme » : en Espagne, celle-ci désigne deux titulaires distincts du droit de se marier tandis que le législateur français semble encore l’entendre comme les deux composantes du couple. Subsistant à la fois dans le Code civil et dans la Constitution espagnols, cette expression a en revanche été supprimée du Code civil français.
A novel method for heterocyclic amide–thioamide transformations
Authors: Fathalla Walid , Ali Ibrahim A I , Pazdera Pavel
Published: January 2017

In this paper, we introduce a novel and convenient method for the transformation of heterocyclic amides into heteocyclic thioamides. A two-step approach was applied for this transformation: Firstly, we applied a chlorination of the heterocyclic amides to afford the corresponding chloroheterocycles. Secondly, the chloroherocycles and N-cyclohexyl dithiocarbamate cyclohexylammonium salt were heated in chloroform for 12 h at 61 °C to afford heteocyclic thioamides in excellent yields.

Authors: Lima Batista Maia Verônica Lourdes , Campelo Lago Eliana , Viana Ramos Carmen , Astrês Fernandes Márcia , Leite Monteiro Alves Eucário
Published: January 2017

Background: Mental disorders of the elderly constitute a public health problem due to their high prevalence, shortage of specialized services offered in Brazil, difficulties of access by the population and deficiency in the training of professionals of the Family Health Strategy for the identification, receptiveness and psychosocial assistance to the elderly.

Objectives: To analyze the training of professionals of the Family Health Strategy on psychosocial care for the elderly in the context of the Psychosocial Care Network – RAPS (Rede de Atenção Psicossocial), and to discuss how professional training influences the care provided to the elderly.

Methodology: Descriptive, qualitative study carried out with 31 professionals, 13 physicians and 18 nurses, who work at the Family Health Strategy of the city of Picos, Piauí, Brazil. The data were collected in January 2016, through a semi-structured interview guide, processed by the IRAMUTEQ software and analyzed by means of the Descending Hierarchical Classification.

Results: The results were presented in three segments, namely: 1. The practice of professionals from the Family Health Strategy in psychosocial care in the family context; 2. Training of specialized professionals, in the attention to the elderly, in the Family Health Strategy; 3. The Psychosocial Attention Network in the care of elderly users of alcohol and other drugs;

Conclusion: Health professionals have difficulties in dealing with the elderly with mental disorders in basic care. In order to facilitate access to specialized health services and to develop actions for social reintegration, prevention and harm reduction, it is necessary to implement a policy of ongoing training and education for health professionals to improve care for the elderly.

Âge d’or pour salles obscures. La représentation du Second Empire dans Nana de Jean Renoir et Si Paris nous était conté… de Sacha Guitry
Authors: Geslot Jean-Charles
Published: January 2017

Sacha Guitry et Jean Renoir ont tous les deux abordé dans leur œuvre la période du second Empire. Au-delà de leurs différences stylistiques, on retrouve chez ces deux réalisateurs de la même génération un même regard sur cette période mythifiée, et une même façon d’utiliser pour cela le média cinématographique, lequel permet, notamment par la liberté qu’il laisse dans le traitement des temporalités, la transformation de cette époque un en véritable âge d’or de la fête et de la douceur de vivre.
L’enracinement du mythe des « Trente Glorieuses » par les manuels scolaires (1979-2011)
Authors: Pawin Rémy
Published: January 2017

L’article s’intéresse à l’une des modalités de construction de l’âge d’or dans les médias et tente de mieux comprendre comment les manuels scolaires ont enraciné le mythe des « Trente Glorieuses ». Dans les manuels d’histoire du secondaire, la locution forgée par Fourastié en 1979 apparaît dès 1983 et est consacrée par tous les éditeurs dès 1989. Le récit transmis n’a guère de nuance et la dramaturgie historique prend tout son sens par contraste : l’âge d’or des « Glorieuses » prend la suite du drame des guerres mondiales et s’achève avec la « crise », en 1975.
Les yéyés, une seconde jeunesse : les sixties françaises revues par la télévision des années 1980
Authors: Orillard Audrey
Published: January 2017

Les scopitones fournissent, avec leurs représentations lisses de la jeunesse yéyé, un imaginaire propice à la consolidation du mythe de l’âge d’or des années 1960, dont se saisit la télévision à partir des années 1980. La rediffusion des scopitones permet de détailler les caractéristiques de la fabrique médiatique de l’âge d’or, qui sont la motivation économique et le caractère intermédiatique qui sous-tendent le développement du sentiment nostalgique, et les retombées symboliques de ce dispositif pour le média télévisuel.
Nostalgie sur le web : mise en scène d’un âge d’or de la variété populaire à l’ère de la postradio

Published: January 2017

On s’intéresse aux modalités par lesquelles le site internet de la station de radio Nostalgie , en tant que prolongement numérique, exacerbe sa dimension commémorative en mettant en scène une idéalisation du passé entre permanence et modernité. Dans un cadre sémio-pragmatique, on montre que l’âge d’or que l’on s’accorde à définir par son figement, son balisage, sa dépréciation du présent et son emprisonnement dans le passé, est scénographié dans une abolition des frontières (spatiales, temporelles et sensibles) et une co-construction qui redynamisent son objet et le media initial de diffusion.
“We Don’t Need Another Hero!” the Importance of Celebrities in the Post-truth Era
Authors: Podjed Dan
Published: January 2017

The article presents and compares the rise of two self-made politicians, Donald Trump in the US and Ivan Kramberger of Slovenia. Their presidential candidacies were based of their fame and fortune, rather than on the basis of their political experience. The author notes that the self-promotion strategies, utilised by Trump and Kramberger, are not used only politicians, but also by other outstanding individuals who take care of their own popularity with pseudo-events, spread through the media and online networks.

Avtor ugotavlja, da podobnih strategij samouprizarjanja kot Trump in Kramberger ne uporabljajo le politiki, temveč tudi drugi izstopajoči posamezniki, ki skrbijo za lastno priljubljenost s psevdo-dogodki, ki jih širijo po medijih in spletnih omrežjih.
Paths of Glory. How Marginal People Force the Nation’s Attention on Themselves
Authors: Čolović Ivan
Published: January 2017

A time of political crises and wars can offer people from the margins an opportunity to surface and attract public attention. Such examples of promotion were numerous in Yugoslavia during the 1990s, when war raged in the former country and marginalised individuals rose to fame. One way was by participating in the war. Many criminals took this path and became war heroes or, if nothing more, at least known among the people. Another way open to ambitious individuals was politics, where they could serve political elites and their leaders. During the war it soon became evident that even the world of sport, especially the world of sports fans or supporters, can be well-suited for the promotion of people from the lowest social depths.

Čas političnih kriz in vojn ljudem z družbenega dna nudi priložnost, da pridejo na površje in pritegnejo pozornost javnosti. V devetdesetih letih 20. stoletja je bilo v nekdanji Jugoslaviji veliko takšnih primerov samopromocije. Na območju je divjala vojna, med njo pa so prišli na dan mnogi dotlej marginalizirani posamezniki. Eden od načinov, da so zasloveli, je s sodelovanjem v bitkah. Mnogi kriminalci so izbrali to pot in postali prepoznani kot vojni junaki. Druga pot, ki je bila odprta za nekatere ambiciozne posameznike, je politika, v kateri so lahko služili političnim elitam in njihovim voditeljem. Med vojno na območju Jugoslavije pa je postalo jasno še, da sta tudi svetova kulture in športa lahko učinkovita za nagovarjanje ljudi iz najnižjih družbenih globin.

Recently, oral history accounts—the memories of ordinary people, life stories, living strategies, daily life, and so on—have been gaining status as historical accounts. Online comment sections of news media can be regarded as a subsection of the literature dedicated to memories; the comments represent opinions expressed at a fixed time on a fixed topic. This article discusses vernacular history and historical knowledge based on comments written to a news item published in the daily newspaper Eesti Päevaleht on February 9th, 2005 announcing that the social science award had gone to Indrek Jääts for his study on early collective farms in the Oisu region.

Published: January 2017

Bioremediation of hazardous substances from environment is a major human and environmental health concern but can be managed by the microorganism due to their variety of properties that can effectively change the complexity. Microorganisms convey endogenous genetic, biochemical and physiological assets that make them superlative proxies for pollutant remediation in habitat. But, the crucial step is to degrade the complex ring structured pollutants. Interestingly, the integration of genomics and proteomics technologies that allow us to use or alter the genes and proteins of interest in a given microorganism towards a cell-free bioremediation approach. Resultantly, efforts have been finished by developing the genetically modified (Gm) microbes for the remediation of ecological contaminants. Gm microorganisms mediated bioremediation can affect the solubility, bioavailability and mobility of complex hazardous.
Contribution of Earthworm to Bioremediation as a Living Machine
Authors: Yadav Shweta
Published: January 2017

The literature regarding the benefits of earthworms is fairly ancient. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher, referred to them as ‘intestines of earth' because of their habit of ingesting and ejecting the soil. In the subtropical regions of Egypt and India, the success of the ancient civilization of the Nile and the Indus Valley was partly due to the fertile soils created by the activity of the earthworms and by the continual renewal of the land by the alluvium process. During the Cleopatra era (69-30 BC), the earthworm was declared a sacred animal in the ancient Egypt. Later Darwin remarked the earthworms have played more roles throughout the history of the world than any other animal. Besides to contribute in physical structure and nutritive value of the soil by burrowing and feeding they can also be a potential pollution hazard. They are useful tool in environment monitoring and are good indicators of condition of soils. This chapter reviews soil contamination that influences earthworms and how they cope-up in contaminated environment.
Bioremediation of Agricultural, Municipal, and Industrial Wastes
Authors: Garg Shivani
Published: January 2017

Growth of agriculture and manufacturing industries has resulted in increased a wide range of complex and hazardous compounds to the environment. Excess growth of hazardous waste has led to reduce availability of clean water and disturbances of soil thus limiting crop production. Waste generated from different sources like Industrial, domestic and agricultural etc. having different kinds of chemical compound i.e. organic or inorganic. Traditional methods are not able to deal with some of these chemical compounds. Bioremediation process is good option in such environmental problems. Bioremediation provides a technique for cleaning up pollution by enhancing the natural biodegradation processes. It treats such waste with the help of microorganism. Number of microbes including aerobes, anaerobic and fungi are involved in bioremediation process. Specific types of microbes are used to treat specific type of chemical contaminant. The chapter include all the techniques of bioremediation used to treat different kinds of contaminant.
Advancement in Bioremediation of Pharmaceutical and Personal Care Products
Authors: Agnihotri Vasudha
Published: January 2017

Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are regularly used by human being for their day to day life. These products contains various chemical compounds which are regularly added in our surface and ground water sources either through untreated or partially treated domestic and industrial wastes or through agricultural runoffs etc. These are present at the concentration of µg liter-1, and at such low concentration also these have shown harmful affect to living being. A lot of studies have been carried out for studying their effects on animal biodiversity, which can directly or indirectly affect human being also. So their removal from waste water is essential. Various technologies are being tested for removing these compounds from polluted water; bioremediation is also one of them. Present chapter will briefly give the description of various PPCPs present in waste water, their impact and removal technologies available for their removal with special emphasis on bio remediation.
Circulating and Exosome-Packaged Hepatitis C Single-Stranded RNA Induce Monocyte Differentiation via TLR7/8 to Polarized Macrophages and Fibrocytes
Authors: Saha Banishree , Kodys Karen , Adejumo Adeyinka , Szabo Gyongyi
Published: January 2017

Monocytes and macrophages (MΦs) play a central role in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The tissue microenvironment triggers monocyte differentiation into MΦs, with polarization ranging within the spectrum of M1 (classical) to M2 (alternative) activation. Recently, we demonstrated that HCV infection leads to monocyte differentiation into polarized MΦs that mediate stellate cell activation via TGF-β. In this study, we aimed to identify the viral factor(s) that mediate monocyte-to-MΦ differentiation. We performed coculture experiments using healthy monocytes with exosome-packaged HCV, cell-free HCV, or HCV ssRNA. Coculture of monocytes with exosome-packaged HCV, cell-free HCV, or HCV ssRNA induced differentiation into MΦs with high M2 surface marker expression and production of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. The HCV ssRNA–induced monocyte activation and differentiation into MΦs could be prevented by TLR7 or TLR8 knockdown. Furthermore, TLR7 or TLR8 stimulation, independent of HCV, caused monocyte differentiation and M2 MΦ polarization. In vivo, in chronic HCV–infected patients, we found increased expression of TLR7/8 in circulating monocytes that was associated with increased intracellular expression of procollagen. Furthermore, knockdown of TLR8 completely attenuated collagen expression in monocytes exposed to HCV, and knockdown of TLR7 partially attenuated this expression, suggesting roles for TLR7/8 in induction of fibrocytes in HCV infection. We identified TLR7/8 as mediators of monocyte differentiation and M2 MΦ polarization during HCV infection. Further, we demonstrated that HCV ssRNA and other TLR7/8 ligands promote MΦ polarization and generation of circulating fibrocytes.
Response to Tendon Vibration Questions the Underlying Rationale of Proprioceptive Training
Authors: Lubetzky Anat Vilnai , McCoy Sarah Westcott , Price Robert , Kartin Deborah
Published: January 2017

Context:

Proprioceptive training on compliant surfaces is used to rehabilitate and prevent ankle sprains. The ability to improve proprioceptive function via such training has been questioned. Achilles tendon vibration is used in motor-control research as a form of proprioceptive stimulus. Using measures of postural steadiness with nonlinear measures to elucidate control mechanisms, tendon vibration can be applied to investigate the underlying rationale of proprioceptive training.

Objective:

To test whether the effect of vibration on young adults' postural control depended on the support surface.

Design:

Descriptive laboratory study.

Setting:

Research laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants:

Thirty healthy adults and 10 adults with chronic ankle instability (CAI; age range = 18−40 years).

Intervention(s):

With eyes open, participants stood in bilateral stance on a rigid plate (floor), memory foam, and a Both Sides Up (BOSU) ball covering a force platform. We applied bilateral Achilles tendon vibration for the middle 20 seconds in a series of 60-second trials and analyzed participants' responses from previbration to vibration (pre-vib) and from vibration to postvibration (vib-post).

Main Outcome Measure(s):

We calculated anterior-posterior excursion of the center of pressure and complexity index derived from the area under multiscale entropy curves.

Results:

The excursion response to vibration differed by surface, as indicated by a significant interaction of P < .001 for the healthy group at both time points and for the CAI group vib-post. Although both groups demonstrated increased excursion from pre-vib and from vib-post, a decrease was observed on the BOSU. The complexity response to vibration differed by surface for the healthy group (pre-vib, P < .001). The pattern for the CAI group was similar but not significant. Complexity changes vib-post were the same on all surfaces for both groups.

Conclusions:

Participants reacted less to ankle vibration when standing on the BOSU as compared with the floor, suggesting that proprioceptive training may not be occurring. Different balance-training paradigms to target proprioception, including tendon vibration, should be explored.
Indicator mineral signatures of the Halfmile Lake Zn-Pb-Cu volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit, Bathurst, New Brunswick: part 2 - till data
Authors: McClenaghan M B , Budulan G , Parkhill M A , Layton-Matthews D , Crabtree D
Published: January 2017

Till and bedrock samples were collected in 2007 and 2008 around the Halfmile Lake Zn-Pb-Cu VMS deposit, Bathurst Mining Camp, as part of the Geological Survey of Canada's Targeted Geoscience Initiative-3 (TGI-3) (2005-2010). This report describes one component of
the study, which examined the indicator minerals in till samples around the deposit. The Halfmile Lake VMS deposit is capped by a preglacial gossan that formed by chemical weathering and oxidation during the late Pliocene. The mineralogical and geochemical signatures of the glacial dispersal train
down-ice (east) of the deposit reflect this gossan, including secondary minerals goethite, beudantite, and jarosite in the till. Chalcopyrite, pyrite, gold, and cinnabar are also present in the till down-ice of the deposit. The Zn-spinel gahnite, which is known to be an indicator of VMS
mineralization, is also present in the local till; however, its bedrock source is not yet known.
Small cancellation in acylindrically hyperbolic groups
Authors: Hull Michael
Published: January 2017

We generalize a version of small cancellation theory to the class of acylindrically hyperbolic groups. This class contains many groups which admit some natural action on a hyperbolic space, including non-elementary hyperbolic and relatively hyperbolic groups, mapping class groups, and groups of outer automorphisms of free groups. Several applications of this small cancellation theory are given, including to Frattini subgroups and Kazhdan constants, the construction of various “exotic” quotients, and to approximating acylindrically hyperbolic groups in the topology of marked group presentations.

Published: January 2017

The main purpose of this paper is to propose and test a model to assess the degree of conditions favorability in the adoption of agile methods to develop software where traditional methods predominate. In order to achieve this aim, a survey was applied on software developers of a Brazilian public retail bank. Two different statistical techniques were used in order to assess the quantitative data from the closed questions in the survey. The first, exploratory factorial analysis validated the structure of perspectives related to the agile model of the proposed assessment. The second, frequency distribution analysis to categorize the answers. Qualitative data from the survey opened question were analyzed with the technique of qualitative thematic content analysis. As a result, the paper proposes a model to assess the degree of favorability conditions in the adoption of Agile practices within the context of the proposed study.
Applicability of an assessment model for healthcare information systems in a public hospital
Authors: Morais Rinaldo Macedo de , Somera Silvio Cesar , Goes Wilson Moraes , Costa André Lucirton
Published: January 2017

Assessment processes are essential to guarantee quality and continuous improvement of software in healthcare, as they measure software attributes in their lifecycle, verify the degree of alignment between the software and its objectives and identify unpredicted events. This article analyses the use of an assessment model based on software metrics for three healthcare information systems from a public hospital that provides secondary and tertiary care in the region of Ribeirão Preto. Compliance with the metrics was investigated using questionnaires in guided interviews of the system analysts responsible for the applications. The outcomes indicate that most of the procedures specified in the model can be adopted to assess the systems that serves the organization, particularly in the attributes of compatibility, reliability, safety, portability and usability.

METHOD. Unsafe driving events triggered g-forces leading to capture of video clips. The program included 3 mo of monitoring without intervention, 3 mo of intervention (weekly written progress reports, a DVD of unsafe driving events, and weekly telephone contacts), and 3 mo of postintervention monitoring.

RESULTS. Mean total unsafe driving events per 1,000 miles were reduced from baseline by 38% for 9 of 12 participants during the intervention and by 55% for 7 participants during postintervention monitoring. Mean total unsafe driving severity scores per 1,000 miles were reduced from baseline by 43% during the intervention and by 56% during postintervention monitoring.

CONCLUSION. Preliminary results suggest that driving safety among older drivers with cognitive impairment can be improved using a behavior modification approach aimed at problem behaviors detected in their natural driving environment.

Occupational therapists are constantly searching for engaging, high-technology interactive tasks that provide immediate feedback to evaluate and train clients with visual scanning deficits. This study examined the relationship between two tools: the VISION COACH™ interactive light board and the Functional Object Detection© (FOD) Advanced driving simulator scenario. Fifty-four healthy drivers, ages 21–66 yr, were divided into three age groups. Participants performed braking response and visual target (E) detection tasks of the FOD Advanced driving scenario, followed by two sets of three trials using the VISION COACH Full Field 60 task. Results showed no significant effect of age on FOD Advanced performance but a significant effect of age on VISION COACH performance. Correlations showed that participants’ performance on both braking and E detection tasks were significantly positively correlated with performance on the VISION COACH (.37 < r < .40, p < .01). These tools provide new options for therapists.

Published: January 2017

Occupational therapy is a field with a long-standing history of recommending and implementing interventions designed to improve the quality of life of clients with disabilities. Often, the interventions are individualized to meet the needs of this diverse group of clients in dynamic settings. Identifying effective and efficient interventions for such a diverse group of clients and settings requires a flexible research approach. Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) allow practitioners and researchers to answer experimental questions within the context of rigorous research designs. The purpose of this article is to highlight the similarities between the mission of occupational therapy and SCEDs. Recommendations for designing single-case studies with the framework provided by the Single-Case Reporting Guideline in Behavioral Interventions are provided. In addition, common problems and proposed solutions, along with implications for practitioners and researchers, are provided.

This article is the second part of a systematic review of evidence for the effectiveness of cancer rehabilitation interventions within the scope of occupational therapy that address the activity and participation needs of adult cancer survivors. This article focuses on the use of multidisciplinary rehabilitation and interventions that address psychosocial outcomes, sexuality, and return to work. Strong evidence indicates that multidisciplinary rehabilitation benefits cancer survivors and that psychosocial strategies can reduce anxiety and depression. Moderate evidence indicates that interventions can support survivors in returning to the level of sexuality desired and help with return to work. Part 1 of the review also appears in this issue.

Published: January 2017

Federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) provide low- or no-cost primary care to medically underserved populations such as homeless or low-income people, migrant workers, and members of marginalized cultural groups. Occupational therapy services have the potential to help improve the health and functioning of FQHC patients. Using a FQHC serving American Indian/Alaska Native populations as a case example, we describe how occupational therapy is well suited to help meet the needs of medically underserved populations. We then examine options for integrating occupational therapy into this unique primary care setting, discuss related administrative and policy considerations, and propose possible solutions to identified barriers.

Abstract. Concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) emit a large number of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to the atmosphere. In this study, we conducted mobile laboratory measurements of VOCs, methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) downwind of dairy cattle, beef cattle, sheep and chicken CAFO facilities in northeastern Colorado using a hydronium ion time-of-flight chemical-ionization mass spectrometer (H3O+ ToF-CIMS) that can detect numerous VOCs. Regional measurements of CAFO emissions in northeastern Colorado were also performed using the NOAA WP-3D aircraft during the Shale Oil and Natural Gas Nexus (SONGNEX) campaign. Alcohols and carboxylic acids dominate VOC concentrations and the reactivity of the VOCs with hydroxyl (OH) radicals. Sulfur-containing and phenolic species provide the largest contributions to in the odor activity values and the nitrate radical (NO3) reactivity of VOC emissions, respectively. VOC compositions determined from mobile laboratory and aircraft measurements generally agree well with each other. The high time-resolution mobile measurements allow the separation of the sources of VOCs from different parts of the operations occurring within the facilities. We show that the emissions of ethanol concentrations are primarily associated with feed storage and handling. Based on mobile laboratory measurements, we apply a multivariate regression analysis using NH3 and ethanol as tracers to determine the relative importance of animal-related emissions (animal exhalation and waste) and feed-related emissions (feed storage and handling) for different VOC species. Feed storage and handling contribute significantly to emissions of alcohols, carbonyls, carboxylic acids and sulfur-containing species. Emissions of phenolic species and nitrogen-containing species are predominantly associated with animals and their waste.
Autonomous marine hyperspectral radiometers for determining solar irradiances and aerosol optical properties

Abstract. We have developed two hyperspectral radiometer systems which require no moving parts, shade rings or motorised tracking making them ideally suited for autonomous use in the inhospitable remote marine environment. Both systems are able to measure the direct and diffuse hyperspectral irradiance fields in the wavelength range 350–1050 nm at 6 nm (Spectrometer 1) or 3.5 nm (Spectrometer 2) resolution. Marine field-trials along a 100° transect (between 50° N and 50° S) of the Atlantic Ocean resulted in close agreement with existing commercially available instruments in measuring: (1) photosynthetically available radiation (PAR) with both spectrometers giving regression slopes close to unity (Spectrometer 1: 0.960; Spectrometer 2: 1.006) and R2 ~ 0.96; (2) irradiant energy, with R2 ~ 0.98 and a regression slope of 0.75 which can be accounted for by the difference in wavelength integration range and; (3) hyperspectral irradiance where the agreement on average was between 2–5 %. Two long duration land based field campaigns of up to 18 months allowed both spectrometers to be well calibrated. This was also invaluable for empirically correcting for the wider field-of-view (FOV) of the spectrometers in comparison with the current generation of sun photometers (~ 7.5° compared with ~ 1°). The need for this correction was also confirmed and independently quantified by atmospheric radiative transfer modelling and found to be a function of aerosol optical depth (AOD) and solar zenith angle. Once Spectrometer 2 was well calibrated and the FOV effect corrected for, the RMSE in retrievals of AOD when compared with a CIMEL sun photometer were reduced to ~ 0.02–0.03 with R2 > 0.95 at wavelengths 440, 500, 670 and 870 nm. Corrections for the FOV as well as ship motion were applied to the data from the marine field trials. This resulted in AOD500 nm ranging between 0.05 in the clear background marine aerosol regions to ~ 0.5 within the Saharan dust plume. The RMSE between the handheld Microtops sun photometer and Spectrometer 2 was between 0.047–0.057 with R2 > 0.94.

Abstract. In order to fully constrain paleo-carbonate systems, proxies for two out of seven parameters, plus temperature and salinity, are required. The boron isotopic composition (δ11B) of planktonic foraminifera shells is a powerful tool for reconstructing changes in past surface ocean pH. As B(OH)4− is substituted into the biogenic calcite lattice in place of CO32−, and both borate and carbonate ions are more abundant at higher pH, it was suggested early on that B ∕ Ca ratios in biogenic calcite may serve as a proxy for [CO32−]. Although several recent studies have shown that a direct connection of B ∕ Ca to carbonate system parameters may be masked by other environmental factors in the field, there is ample evidence for a mechanistic relationship between B ∕ Ca and carbonate system parameters. Here, we focus on investigating the primary relationship to develop a mechanistic understanding of boron uptake. Differentiating between the effects of pH and [CO32−] is problematic, as they co-vary closely in natural systems, so the major control on boron incorporation remains unclear. To deconvolve the effects of pH and [CO32−] and to investigate their impact on the B ∕ Ca ratio and δ11B, we conducted culture experiments with the planktonic foraminifer Orbulina universa in manipulated culture media: constant pH (8.05), but changing [CO32−] (238, 286 and 534 µmol kg−1 CO32−) and at constant [CO32−] (276 ± 19.5 µmol kg−1) and varying pH (7.7, 7.9 and 8.05). Measurements of the isotopic composition of boron and the B ∕ Ca ratio were performed simultaneously using a femtosecond laser ablation system coupled to a MC-ICP-MS (multiple-collector inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer). Our results show that, as expected, δ11B is controlled by pH but it is also modulated by [CO32−]. On the other hand, the B ∕ Ca ratio is driven by [HCO3−], independently of pH. This suggests that B ∕ Ca ratios in foraminiferal calcite can possibly be used as a second, independent, proxy for complete paleo-carbonate system reconstructions. This is discussed in light of recent literature demonstrating that the primary relationship between B ∕ Ca and [HCO3−] can be obscured by other environmental parameters.

Abstract. Wetlands are the largest natural source of methane (CH4) emissions to the atmosphere, which vary along salinity and productivity gradients. Global change has the potential to reshape these gradients and therefore alter future contributions of wetlands to the global CH4 budget. Our study examined CH4 production along a natural salinity gradient in fully inundated coastal Alaska wetlands. In the laboratory, we incubated natural sediments to compare CH4 production rates between non-tidal freshwater and tidal brackish wetlands, and quantified the abundances of methanogens and sulfate-reducing bacteria in these ecosystems. We also simulated seawater intrusion and enhanced organic matter availability, which we predicted would have contrasting effects on coastal wetland CH4 production. Tidal brackish wetlands produced less CH4 than non-tidal freshwater wetlands probably due to high sulfate availability and generally higher abundances of sulfate-reducing bacteria, whereas non-tidal freshwater wetlands had significantly greater methanogen abundances. Seawater addition experiments with freshwater sediments, however, did not reduce CH4 production, perhaps because the 14-day incubation period was too short to elicit a shift in microbial communities. In contrast, increased organic matter enhanced CH4 production in 75 % of the incubations, but this response depended on the macrophyte species added, with half of the species treatments having no significant effect. Our study suggests that CH4 production in coastal wetlands, and therefore their overall contribution to the global CH4 cycle, will be sensitive to increased organic matter availability and potentially seawater intrusion. To better predict future wetland contributions to the global CH4 budget, future studies and modeling efforts should investigate how multiple global change mechanisms will interact to impact CH4 dynamics.
