Remarques sur la question du signifiant et de l’énonciation depuis Lacan
Authors: Danon-Boileau Laurent
Published: November 2018

Le propos de cette note est de dégager deux thèmes dans la réflexion de Lacan sur le langage et de souligner leur lien avec les dimensions intrinsèques du fait de linguistique : le vocabulaire et la syntaxe. Il est aussi de montrer que ces dimensions sont aujourd’hui opérantes dans la réflexion psychanalytique même si la référence directe à Lacan semble faire l’objet d’un relatif refoulement.
Face à l’adversité… Et pour le plaisir, travailler ensemble ?
Authors: Braun-Guedel Béatrice
Published: November 2018

L’auteur évoque une expérience, avec ses richesses et ses limites, d’association entre psychanalystes d’obédiences diverses, lacaniens pour la plupart et y compris, qui fonctionne bien depuis dix ans grâce à un objectif commun qui transcende les différences : maintenir sur la ville une pensée qui tienne compte de l’inconscient et de l’unicité de chaque sujet, à une époque où ces notions tendent à disparaître de l’abord du psychisme humain. Elle tente de donner quelques pistes pour penser ce succès.

Authors: Troian Géraldine
Published: November 2018

L’auteure propose un aperçu des caractéristiques de la psychanalyse au Brésil avec ses différentes sociétés, en analysant principalement trois d’entre elles : São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro et Porto Alegre. Elle souligne le contexte social et les influences théoriques qui ont marqué la pratique analytique dans le pays.
Sur la trace du maternel
Authors: Lorenzon Schaffa Sandra , Menezes Luís Carlos
Published: November 2018

Les auteurs présentent l’analyse d’une femme qui développe un intense transfert amoureux marqué de forte dépendance à l’analyste, sur le fond d’une profonde dépression narcissique. Des sentiments religieux souvent érotisés comme vécus mystiques ont pu être entendus dans le transfert comme quête du maternel à l’état de trace. Le travail a permis l’élaboration sublimatoire du pulsionnel mobilisé dans le transfert et une relance du psychique permettant la reconstitution d´un tissu imaginaire porteur d´un gain narcissique.
Corps et infini : notes pour une théorie de la génitalité
Authors: Nosek Leopold , Cabrera Francisca Maria
Published: November 2018

L’auteur propose une relecture du concept de génitalité et compare l’inconscient à l’infini tel qu’il est conçu par Levinas. La psychanalyse acquiert par là une dimension éthique découlant de la réception d’autrui. Dans le parcours analytique, le sens se construit sous l’égide de la génitalité qui est le seul mode de la sexualité dans lequel le désir ne prétend pas à l’appréhension de l’altérité. Comment accueillir chaque patient à chaque fois ? Lorsqu’il ouvre la porte à l’étranger, l’être éthique assume de façon quotidienne la disposition au trauma, à la frayeur et à l’étonnement.
Euphémie Lacoste. Veuve noire ou veuve joyeuse ?
Authors: Tsikounas Myriam
Published: November 2018

La femme qui tue son mari est non seulement une criminelle, mais une veuve. Au xix e  siècle, jugée exclusivement, aux assises, par des hommes, elle suscite, dans les comptes rendus judiciaires publiés dans La Gazette des Tribunaux comme dans la presse généraliste, des commentaires qui laissent sourdre les normes de l’époque. L’objectif est ici de comprendre pour quelles raisons, en juillet 1844, au Palais de justice d’Auch, Euphémie Lacoste, accusée d’avoir commandité l’empoisonnement de son époux, quitta libre le tribunal, contrairement à Marie Lafarge, qui, selon les tribunaliers, avait été son modèle quatre ans plus tôt.
La veuve tueuse
Authors: de Baecque Antoine
Published: November 2018

En étudiant les conditions de préparation, d’écriture, de fabrication et de tournage du film de François Truffaut, La Mariée était en noir , il s’agit de pointer chez l’auteur du film, l’écrivain adapté (William Irish) et la principale actrice du film (Jeanne Moreau), les marques multiformes du veuvage. Irish comme veuf perpétuel fétichiste du noir ; Truffaut cherchant toutes les manières de faire le deuil de ses histoires d’amour ou de ses passions cinéphiles ; Moreau, enfin, portant le veuvage, via les costumes noirs et blancs de Pierre Cardin, de son époux de fiction assassiné à la sortie même de l’église où ils se sont mariés ; et aidant chacun de ses personnages/futures victimes à mourir en cinéma. « La veuve est vierge », avoue François Truffaut dans une lettre à Alfred Hitchcock : ce paradoxe agit le film et toutes ses interprétations.
Parler d’un homme, exister comme femme
Authors: Verlaine Julie
Published: November 2018

Les droits de la veuve d’un artiste plasticien, qui touchent notamment la conservation et l’authentification des œuvres, leur vente ou leur don, font d’elle une actrice incontournable dans la valorisation posthume de l’œuvre ; mais également marginalisée, dans un champ artistique en pleine professionnalisation, et oubliée par une histoire de l’art davantage préoccupée de création et de patrimoine. L’étude des cas de Sonia Delaunay, Nina Kandinsky, Jeanne Kosnick-Kloss et Nelly van Doesburg, qui ont en commun d’avoir chacune été la compagne d’un artiste abstrait décédé avant 1945, permet de montrer à la fois leur importante (quoique inégale) présence médiatique et leur capacité à faire valoir lors de leurs interventions publiques leurs propres efforts pour promouvoir et patrimonialiser l’œuvre de leur conjoint défunt.
Nocturne au musée Grévin : réinventer la visite du musée de cire
Authors: Ehrhart Liliane
Published: November 2018

En vue d’engager une réflexion sur la place du musée Grévin dans le paysage culturel parisien et l’imaginaire de la fin du xx e  siècle, cet article prend comme point de départ « L’enlèvement de Louis XVII au musée Grévin » (1981), un texte inédit de l’écrivain Hervé Guibert. À travers le prisme d’un spectacle fantasmé, calqué sur la scénographie originale de l’institution, Guibert invite à poser un regard critique sur cette institution complexe et singulière fondée à la fin du xix e  siècle. L’analyse de ce texte rédigé près de cent ans après l’ouverture du musée Grévin permet d’interroger ses effets sur l’imaginaire des visiteurs, d’approcher la manière dont sont appréhendés les doubles de cire et la représentation de l’histoire de France, ainsi que de mettre en lumière ses contradictions scénographiques à l’époque.
La Commune de 1871 : un sphinx face à ses images
Authors: Fournier Eric
Published: November 2018

« Crépuscule », « sphinx » ou « aurore » : ces métaphores si imagées sont souvent mobilisées pour saisir la Commune de 1871. Les images de l’événement apparaissent comme un résumé des différents affrontements mémoriels, soulignant, avec sans doute plus de force que l’écrit, un de leurs principal enjeu : l’effacement – ou non – des révolutionnaires eux-mêmes des représentations de cette révolution. Face à la Damnatio mémoriae des images versaillaises, celles des vaincus répliquent en mêlant la mémoire des morts aux combats des vivants. Aux monstres et aux effacements versaillais, s’opposent les spectres mobilisateurs des vaincus. Mais, un renouvellement du regard s’opère à partir du centenaire, en 1971. Alors que l’on proclame la « Commune vivante », les images s’animent, et les communards revivent.
Autoimmune Liver Diseases in Children
Authors: Mataya Leslie , Patel Namrata , Azzam Ruba K.
Published: November 2018

Autoimmune liver disease remains difficult to diagnose, and distinguishing the various causes is difficult as well. In children, it can present with wide variation, including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and the “overlap syndrome” of AIH/PSC, also known as autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis. These liver disorders are thought to be immune-mediated, but their etiology remains unclear. They are not secondary to inherited or acquired diseases and they are not associated with any drugs, so they can only be diagnosed if these other diseases or conditions are excluded. Because there is considerable commonality in the clinical presentation of these diseases but differences in their management, appropriate treatment may be delayed, increasing the risk for liver transplantation. Further education for general pediatricians and trainees is needed. This article reviews the differences between AIH and PSC, as well as the newly recognized overlap syndrome of both of these diseases.

A mediapark in Brussels? The media industry and its regional dynamics
Authors: Komorowski Marlen , Wiard Victor , Derinöz Sabri , Picone Ike , Domingo David , Patriarche Geoffroy
Published: November 2018

This synopsis analyses from a media cluster perspective the characteristics of the media industry in Brussels and assesses the implications for the major policy intervention of the Brussels Capital Region in this industry: the mediapark.brussels, a 10-year urban and property development project at Reyers around the existing site of the public broadcasting companies VRT and RTBF. Our research results shed light on several clustering configurations in the Brussels media industry, highlight the diversity of the media workforce, and offer an overview of different models and activities of worker communities. The current policy framework for the mediapark.brussels project is outlined. The insights gained are used to assess the possible strategies for the project, considering that in Belgium, the media are a competence of the Communities and not of the Government of the Brussels Capital Region. We discuss the tension that manifests itself in the development of mediapark.brussels: tension between an urban and a cultural development, tension between local and international perspective, and tension between a wide-spectrum and a specialised media cluster.

How Cost of Poor Quality Factors Into Continuous Improvement Models
Authors: Galli Brian J.
Published: November 2018

This article aims to investigate the patterns of the relationship between the cost of poor quality (COPQ) and the process of continuous improvement. Methods of qualitative research are used to conduct the detailed inquiry between both variables from every critical angle. Comprehensive secondary analysis, which is comprised of a structured and unstructured literature review, is performed for this purpose. The findings of the study reveal that the cost of poor quality directly relates to the process of incremental improvement. Each business is faced with certain redundancies and other issues that cause the actual cost of a process to exceed the optimally reduced cost. The management of each organization should focus on a system that consistently identifies any loopholes, which would be followed by a method to eliminate or minimize them. These cost reductions incrementally result in the improvement of company processes. In the end, the evidence proves the research hypothesis.
Talk Around Digital Texts
Authors: Adams Jonathon
Published: November 2018

Digital, web-based texts as a resource for the classroom present new ways of making meaning as learners draw on a wide range of communicative resources such as gaze and gesture to access and read them. This study employed a multimodal interaction analysis framework to examine an English language class of Japanese university students explaining online video stories face-to-face in a university in Japan. The findings identified a gap in the digital literacy skills the teacher assumed the learners possessed and the actual digital literacy skills required for successful completion of the classroom activity. The findings challenge the assumption that young learners are ‘digital natives', being capable of using technology for the specific purposes required in the class task. Implications for the planning and implementation of digital media for talk in language classroom tasks are discussed.
Visualising the Social Media Conversations of a National Information Technology Professional Association
Authors: Palmer Stuart
Published: November 2018

Social media systems are important for professional associations (PAs), providing new ways for them to interact with their members and stakeholders. Evaluation of the impact of social media is not straightforward. Here text analytics, specifically multidimensional scaling visualisation, is proposed as an approach for the characterisation of the large scale ‘conversations' occurring between an information and communication technology PA and its stakeholders via the Twitter social media system. In the case presented, there was found to be a significant level of congruence between the corresponding visualisations of tweets from the PA, and tweets to/about the PA, although differences were also observed. The new method proposed and piloted here offers a way for organisations to conceptualise, identify, capture and visualise the large-scale, ephemeral, text conversations about themselves on Twitter, and to assist them with key strategic uses of social media.

Authors: Takale Adik M. , Chougule Nagesh K. , Selmokar Preetam H. , Gawari M.G.
Published: November 2018

The present work deals with the optimization of micro-WEDM process parameters for machining Ti49.4-Ni50.6 shape memory alloy (SMA) for orthopedic implant application. Effect of micro-WEDM parameters viz. Gap voltage, capacitance, wire feed and wire tension on the response variables such as material removal rate, surface roughness, kerf width and dimensional deviation is determined. As Ti-Ni SMA has fascinating properties and bio-compatibility, have been considered for present work. Nine experiments have been performed on micro-WEDM based on an orthogonal array of Taguchi method. Subsequently, the grey relational analysis (GRA) method is applied to determine an optimal set of process parameters. It is observed that optimized set of parameters A3B3C3D1 viz. 140 V gap voltage, 0.4 µF capacitance, wire feed 30 µm/sec and 30% of wire tension determined by using GRA offers maximum MRR and minimum SR, KW and DD. From the Analysis of Variance, it is seen that the process parameter capacitance is the most significant parameter for multi-response optimization with a percentage contribution of 77.91%. Young’s modulus also checked for biocompatibility. Also, SEM images are taken to confirm the results offering better surface quality. Heat treatment process like annealing is found to be the most suitable to recover shape memory effect of WEDMed samples.
Empirical Prediction Models for Strength Gain Properties of Fly Ash Based Concrete Subjected to Accelerated Curing
Authors: Sounthararajan Vallarasu Manoharan
Published: November 2018

Experimental investigations on the early age, strength gain properties of fly ash blended cement concretes containing low and high volume fly ash replacement were studied. Concrete mixes were prepared with two different fly ash contents and varying concrete ingredients with water to binder ratio (w/b), fine to coarse aggregate ratio (F/c) and accelerator dosage. Five different curing techniques, namely controlled humidity curing; hot air oven curing, steam curing, hot water curing and normal water curing were adopted for curing the fly ash based concretes. Test results showed evidence the influence of accelerating admixtures and accelerated curing for obtaining the high early strength properties in fly ash mixed concrete. Most notably a maximum 1 day compressive strength of 40.20 MPa and 34.60 MPa with low (25%) and high (50%) volume fly ash concretes were obtained respectively in this study. Experimental results clearly indicated that the improvements on the strength gain properties with the careful selection of mix ingredients; accelerator addition and accelerated curing in fly ash based concrete mixes. Also, significant improvements on the flexural strength, elastic modulus, dynamic modulus and the ultrasonic pulse velocity test were noticed.
Development of a hexagonal, mesh-based distribution method for community health centres
Authors: Zhou Yinan , Bai Ge , Luo Li
Published: November 2018

Community health centres (CHCs) are the health gatekeepers of the local population. Location and numbers of the CHCs affect fairness and effectiveness with regard to access to primary health care. In the past, the distribution of the CHCs was solely empiric-based. The goal of this study was to devise a method for CHC distribution based on the principle of improving equity as well as ensuring efficiency. We tested the effectiveness and operability of the method through a process of revision and simulation using Guangdong Province, China as sample district. A methodology based on literature review and expert consultation was repeatedly applied until an ideal result had been reached. A hexagonal, mesh-based method was developed and used to find a solution where the CHCs could be distributed where their location would be the most needed and total number suitable. Testing the effectiveness of the proposed plan, we found the proportion of area covered to be 52.8% and the proportion of the population covered 80.7%, which is 15.4% and 14.7%, respectively, better than before. It was concluded that the hexagonal mesh-based, distribution method can effectively define the location as well as the number or required CHCs, not only improving the accessibility for residents to primary health care services but also maximizing cost-effectiveness. Management of the city by grid is a new idea in urban management, which improves rationality of planning and also may be applied for many different purposes in addition to CHC localization.

Published: November 2018

Geographical variations in teen birth rates (TBR) still persist despite controlling for contextual factors. The aim of this research was to identify spatial patterns of TBR in Taiwan and to examine spatial relationships among different contextual factors. Using townships as the unit of analysis (N=359), this research used social and demographic variables for the years 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010 and conducted spatial modelling of TBR. Geographical maps of TBR were presented, and Local Indicator of Spatial Autocorrelations was used to identify TBR clustering. Comparisons were made between ordinary least-squares models and spatial lag models, in which township-level TBRs were regressed on other township-level contextual characteristics. Our study found that townships with a high TBR were mostly in eastern, central and some southern regions of Taiwan, while townships with a low TBR were in the vicinity of metropolitan areas. The significant spatial lag indicated that townships would have a higher expected prevalence rate if adjacent townships have had higher rates. Results also indicated that the percentage of aborigines and the percentage of college-educated people were consistently associated with TBR over the years. Interventions aimed at reducing TBR in Taiwan should consider the presence of spatial correlations and should incorporate neighbouring townships.

Published: November 2018

In the Adriatic Sea, the European Union supported a cross-border cooperation research program, during which digital spatial data on shellfish production and relaying areas, regulated conditions on fishing activities, protected areas and restocking structures, administrative boundaries and sea bottom characteristics, were collated from digital repositories in various institutions and paper documents. A web-based geographical information system was developed to share data of the sea facing the Abruzzi region and to explore the spatial distribution of marine resources and maritime activities, thus focussing and facilitating fisheries management and providing a potential support to the regional planning of resource exploitation.

Rekenen op je ouders: High Dosage Tutoring als middel om ouderbetrokkenheid te stimuleren in Rotterdam-Zuid
Authors: Kielman Anne , Paulle Bowen , van Londen Monique
Published: November 2018

Parental involvement is especially urgent for youngsters in disadvantaged situations because it can mediate negative consequences of growing up poor. Via a randomized controlled trial 120 students (grade 6 and 7) attending three primary schools in a deprived neighbourhood (Pendrecht) were either assigned to a group receiving ‘High Dosage Tutoring’ (HDT) or to a control group. In pairs, for four hours per week, members of the treatment group received a year of personalized math-instruction during regular school hours from a tutor communicating every week with their parents. In this mixed-method cross-sectional study, surveys with parents (n = 84), home-interviews with parents of tutor-children (n = 7), a focus-group with tutors (n = 7) and an analysis of their contact-registration (203 notes) were conducted to research influences of HDT on parental involvement in the school and home environment. The sociological work of Lareau (2003) and Bourdieu (1984) implies that little should be expected from such an intervention. Indeed, we didn’t find quantitative differences in parental involvement between tutor and non-tutor parents. However, the qualitative data suggest that via different possible mechanisms HDT had positive effects on parental involvement at home. This article sheds light on the broader discussion about how school systems contribute to the reproduction of inequalities and how these inequalities can be mitigated.

Abstract. Light-absorbing particles (LAPs), mainly dust and black carbon, can significantly impact snowmelt and regional water availability over High Mountain Asia (HMA). In this study, for the first time, online aerosol-snow interactions enabled and a fully coupled chemistry Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-Chem) regional model is used to simulate LAP-induced radiative forcing on snow surfaces in HMA at relatively high spatial resolution (12 km, WRF-HR) than previous studies. Simulated macro- and micro-physical properties of the snowpack and LAP-induced snow darkening are evaluated against new spatially and temporally complete datasets of snow covered area, grain size, and impurities-induced albedo reduction over HMA. A WRF-Chem quasi-global simulation with the same configuration as WRF-HR but a coarser spatial resolution (1 degree, WRF-CR) is also used to illustrate the impact of spatial resolution on simulations of snow properties and aerosol distribution over HMA. Due to a more realistic representation of terrain slopes over HMA, the higher resolution model (WRF-HR) shows significantly better performance in simulating snow area cover, duration of snow cover, snow albedo and snow grain size over HMA, as well as an evidently better atmospheric aerosol loading and mean LAPs concentration in snow. However, the differences in albedo reduction from model and satellite retrievals is large during winter due to associated overestimation in simulated snow fraction. It is noteworthy that Himalayan snow cover have high magnitudes of LAP-induced snow albedo reduction (4–8 %) in summer (both from WRF-HR and satellite estimates), which, induces a snow-mediated radiative forcing of ∼ 30–50 W/m2. As a result, Himalayas (specifically western Himalayas) hold the most vulnerable glaciers and mountain snowpack to the LAP-induced snow darkening effect within HMA. In summary, coarse spatial resolution and absence of snow-aerosol interactions over Himalaya cryosphere will result in significant underestimation of aerosol effect on snow melting and regional hydroclimate.
