Beerbohm Tree and "The New Drama"
Authors: Paulus Gretchen
Published: June 2013

Nineteen fifty-six was an important anniversary year in the history of the modern theatre. Not only was it the year of Shaw's centennial, but it also marked the half-century which has elapsed since the death of Ibsen. We are accustomed to think of Ibsen and Shaw together. In 1891 Shaw officially proclaimed himself the quintessential Ibsenite, and by 1892 had begun his own career as playwright. During this same decade, he and William Archer were leading the great fight to establish Ibsen's plays on the English stage. The word "new" became a catchword of the time: Archer, dramatic critic for the World, was the leading representative of the so-called "new criticism"; Shaw became a conspicuous practitioner of "the new drama"; Ibsen was generally regarded as the patron, if not the originator, of "the new woman" and "the new morality."

Influence of Maternal and Child Lifestyle-Related Characteristics on the Socioeconomic Inequality in Overweight and Obesity among 5-year-old Children; The “Be Active, Eat Right” Study
Authors: Veldhuis Lydian , Vogel Ineke , Van Rossem Lenie , Renders Carry , HiraSing Remy , Mackenbach Johan , Raat Hein
Published: June 2013

It is unclear whether the socioeconomic inequality in prevalence of overweight and obesity is already present among very young children. This study investigates the association between overweight and socioeconomic status (SES, with maternal educational level as an indicator of SES) among 5-year-old children. This cross-sectional study uses baseline data from 5-year-olds of Dutch ethnicity (n = 5,582) and their mothers collected for the “Be active, eat right” study. Compared to children of mothers with the highest educational level, for children of mothers with the lowest educational level the odds ratio (adjusted for demographic characteristics) for having overweight was 2.10 (95% confidence interval: 1.57–2.82), and for having obesity was 4.18 (95% confidence interval: 2.32–7.55). Addition of maternal and child lifestyle-related characteristics decreased the odds ratios for overweight and obesity by 26.4% and 42.1%, respectively. The results show that an inverse SES-overweight/obesity association is already present at elementary school entry, and that watching TV by mother and child, the child consuming breakfast and, especially maternal weight status, are contributing factors in this association. These results should be taken into account when developing policies to reduce inequalities in (childhood) health.
A Hamiltonian Replica Exchange Molecular Dynamics (MD) Method for the Study of Folding, Based on the Analysis of the Stabilization Determinants of Proteins
Authors: Meli Massimiliano , Colombo Giorgio
Published: June 2013

Herein, we present a novel Hamiltonian replica exchange protocol for classical molecular dynamics simulations of protein folding/unfolding. The scheme starts from the analysis of the energy-networks responsible for the stabilization of the folded conformation, by means of the energy-decomposition approach. In this framework, the compact energetic map of the native state is generated by a preliminary short molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the protein in explicit solvent. This map is simplified by means of an eigenvalue decomposition. The highest components of the eigenvector associated with the lowest eigenvalue indicate which sites, named “hot spots”, are likely to be responsible for the stability and correct folding of the protein. In the Hamiltonian replica exchange protocol, we use modified force-field parameters to treat the interparticle non-bonded potentials of the hot spots within the protein and between protein and solvent atoms, leaving unperturbed those relative to all other residues, as well as solvent-solvent interactions. We show that it is possible to reversibly simulate the folding/unfolding behavior of two test proteins, namely Villin HeadPiece HP35 (35 residues) and Protein A (62 residues), using a limited number of replicas. We next discuss possible implications for the study of folding mechanisms via all atom simulations.
Effect of GABA, a Bacterial Metabolite, on Pseudomonas fluorescens Surface Properties and Cytotoxicity

Published: June 2013

Different bacterial species and, particularly Pseudomonas fluorescens, can produce gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and express GABA-binding proteins. In this study, we investigated the effect of GABA on the virulence and biofilm formation activity of different strains of P. fluorescens. Exposure of a psychotropic strain of P. fluorescens (MF37) to GABA (10−5 M) increased its necrotic-like activity on eukaryotic (glial) cells, but reduced its apoptotic effect. Conversely, muscimol and bicuculline, the selective agonist and antagonist of eukaryote GABAA receptors, respectively, were ineffective. P. fluorescens MF37 did not produce biosurfactants, and its caseinase, esterase, amylase, hemolytic activity or pyoverdine productions were unchanged. In contrast, the effect of GABA was associated to rearrangements of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) structure, particularly in the lipid A region. The surface hydrophobicity of MF37 was marginally modified, and GABA reduced its biofilm formation activity on PVC, but not on glass, although the initial adhesion was increased. Five other P. fluorescens strains were studied, and only one, MFP05, a strain isolated from human skin, showed structural differences of biofilm maturation after exposure to GABA. These results reveal that GABA can regulate the LPS structure and cytotoxicity of P. fluorescens, but that this property is specific to some strains.
The Intercomparison of X-Band SAR Images from COSMO‑SkyMed and TerraSAR-X Satellites: Case Studies
Authors: Pettinato Simone , Santi Emanuele , Paloscia Simonetta , Pampaloni Paolo , Fontanelli Giacomo
Published: June 2013

The analysis of experimental data collected by X-band SAR of COSMO-SkyMed (CSK®) and TerraSAR-X (TSX) images on the same surface types has shown significant differences in the signal level of the two sensors. In order to investigate the possibility of combining data from the two instruments, a study was carried out by comparing images collected with similar orbital and sensor parameters (e.g., incidence angle, polarization, look angle) at approximately the same date on two Italian agricultural test sites. Several homogenous agricultural fields within the observed area common to the two sensors were selected. Some forest plots have also been considered and used as a reference target). Direct comparisons were then performed between CSK and TSX images in different acquisition modes. The analysis carried out on the agricultural fields showed that, in general, the backscattering coefficient is higher in TSX Stripmap images with respect to CSK-Himage (about 3 dB), while CSK-Ping Pong data showed values lower than TSX of about 4.8 dB. Finally, a difference in backscattering of about 2.5 dB was pointed out between CSK-Himage and Ping-Pong images on agricultural fields. These results, achieved on bare soils, have also been compared with simulations performed by using the Advanced Integral Equation Model (AIEM).
A Review of the Modelling of Thermally Interacting Multiple Boreholes
Authors: Koohi-Fayegh Seama , Rosen Marc
Published: June 2013

Much attention is now focused on utilizing ground heat pumps for heating and cooling buildings, as well as water heating, refrigeration and other thermal tasks. Modeling such systems is important for understanding, designing and optimizing their performance and characteristics. Several heat transfer models exist for ground heat exchangers. In this review article, challenges of modelling heat transfer in vertical heat exchangers are described, some analytical and numerical models are reviewed and compared, recent related developments are described and the importance of modelling these systems is discussed from a variety of aspects, such as sustainability of geothermal systems or their potential impacts on the ecosystems nearby.
Reduction of Streptolysin O (SLO) Pore-Forming Activity Enhances Inflammasome Activation
Authors: Keyel Peter , Roth Robyn , Yokoyama Wayne , Heuser John , Salter Russell
Published: June 2013

Pore-forming toxins are utilized by bacterial and mammalian cells to exert pathogenic effects and induce cell lysis. In addition to rapid plasma membrane repair, macrophages respond to pore-forming toxins through activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome, leading to IL-1β secretion and pyroptosis. The structural determinants of pore-forming toxins required for NLRP3 activation remain unknown. Here, we demonstrate using streptolysin O (SLO) that pore-formation controls IL-1β secretion and direct toxicity. An SLO mutant incapable of pore-formation did not promote direct killing, pyroptosis or IL-1β production. This indicated that pore formation is necessary for inflammasome activation. However, a partially active mutant (SLO N402C) that was less toxic to macrophages than wild-type SLO, even at concentrations that directly lysed an equivalent number of red blood cells, enhanced IL-1β production but did not alter pyroptosis. This suggests that direct lysis may attenuate immune responses by preventing macrophages from successfully repairing their plasma membrane and elaborating more robust cytokine production. We suggest that mutagenesis of pore-forming toxins represents a strategy to enhance adjuvant activity.
Remote Sensing Analysis of Lake Dynamics in Semi-Arid Regions: Implication for Water Resource Management. Lake Manyara, East African Rift, Northern Tanzania
Authors: Deus Dorothea , Gloaguen Richard
Published: June 2013

We show here that a remote sensing (RS) approach is a cost-efficient and accurate method to study water resource dynamics in semi-arid areas. We use a MODIS surface reflectance dataset and a Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (MNDWI) to map the variability of Lake Manyara’s water surface area using a histogram segmentation technique. The results indicate that Lake Manyara’s water surface coverage has been decreasing from 520.25 km2 to 30.5 km2 in 2000 and 2011 respectively. We observe that the lake water surface and the lake water balance displayed a similar pattern from 2006 to 2009, probably initiated by heavy rainfall and low temperature in 2006. Lake water surface area appears to have an inverse relationship with MODIS evapotranspiration (ET) and MODIS land surface temperature (LST). We imply that recent fluctuations of Lake Manyara’s surface water area are a direct consequence of global and regional climate fluctuations. We therefore conclude that, by means of RS it is possible to provide timely and up-to-date water resource information to managers and hence enable optimized and operational decisions for sustainable management and conservation. We suggest that the method employed in this research should be applied to monitor water resource dynamics provided that remotely sensed datasets are available.
Enhancement of efficiency in organic photovoltaic devices containing self-complementary hydrogen-bonding domains
Authors: Kumar Rohan J , Subbiah Jegadesan , Holmes Andrew B
Published: June 2013

Self-complementary hydrogen-bonding domains were incorporated as the electron deficient unit in “push–pull”, p-type small molecules for organic photovoltaic active layers. Such compounds were found to enhance the fill factor, compared with similar non-self-organized compounds reported in the literature, leading to higher device efficiencies. Evidence is presented that the ability of these molecules to form one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains and subsequently exhibit hierarchical self-assembly into nanostructured domains can be correlated with improved device efficiency.
Theory and Research in Audiology Education: Understanding and Representing Complexity through Informed Methodological Decisions
Authors: Ng Stella L.
Published: June 2013

Background:The discipline of audiology has the opportunity to embark on research in education from an informed perspective, learning from professions that began this journey decades ago. The goal of this article is to position our discipline as a new member in the academic field
of health professional education (HPE), with much to learn and contribute.Purpose:In this article, I discuss the need for theory in informing HPE research. I also stress the importance of balancing our research goals by selecting appropriate methodologies for relevant research questions,
to ensure that we respect the complexity of social processes inherent in HPE.Data Collection and Analysis:Examples of relevant research questions are used to illustrate the need to consider alternative methodologies and to rethink the traditional hierarchy of evidence. I also provide
an example of the thought processes and decisions that informed the design of an educational research study using a constructivist grounded theory methodology.Conclusions:As audiology enters the scholarly field of HPE, we need to arm ourselves with some of the knowledge and perspective
that informs the field. Thus, we need to broaden our conceptions of what we consider to be appropriate styles of academic writing, relevant research questions, and valid evidence. Also, if we are to embark on qualitative inquiry into audiology education (or other audiology topics), we need
to ensure that we conduct this research with an adequate understanding of the theories and methodologies informing such approaches. We must strive to conduct high quality, rigorous qualitative research more often than uninformed, generic qualitative research. These goals are imperative to
the advancement of the theoretical landscape of audiology education and evolving the place of audiology in the field of HPE.
Exploring the Utility of Measures of Critical Thinking Dispositions and Professional Behavior Development in an Audiology Education Program
Authors: Ng Stella L. , Bartlett Doreen J. , Lucy S. Deborah
Published: June 2013

Background:Discussions about professional behaviors are growing increasingly prevalent across health professions, especially as a central component to education programs. A strong critical thinking disposition, paired with critical consciousness, may provide future health professionals
with a foundation for solving challenging practice problems through the application of sound technical skill and scientific knowledge without sacrificing sensitive, empathic, client-centered practice. In this article, we describe an approach to monitoring student development of critical thinking
dispositions and key professional behaviors as a way to inform faculty members' and clinical supervisors' support of students and ongoing curriculum development.Purpose:We designed this exploratory study to describe the trajectory of change for a cohort of audiology students' critical
thinking dispositions (measured by the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory: [CCTDI]) and professional behaviors (using the Comprehensive Professional Behaviors Development Log—Audiology [CPBDL-A]) in an audiology program. Implications for the CCTDI and CPBDL-A in audiology
entry-to-practice curricula and professional development will be discussed.Research Design:This exploratory study involved a cohort of audiology students, studied over a two-year period, using a one-group repeated measures design.Study Sample:Eighteen audiology students (two
male and 16 female), began the study. At the third and final data collection point, 15 students completed the CCTDI, and nine students completed the CPBDL-A.Data Collection and Analysis:The CCTDI and CPBDL-A were each completed at three time points: at the beginning, at the middle,
and near the end of the audiology education program. Data are presented descriptively in box plots to examine the trends of development for each critical thinking disposition dimension and each key professional behavior as well as for an overall critical thinking disposition score.Results:For
the CCTDI, there was a general downward trend from time point 1 to time point 2 and a general upward trend from time point 2 to time point 3. Students demonstrated upward trends from the initial to final time point for their self-assessed development of professional behaviors as indicated
on the CPBDL-A.Conclusions:The CCTDI and CPBDL-A can be used by audiology education programs as mechanisms for inspiring, fostering, and monitoring the development of critical thinking dispositions and key professional behaviors in students. Feedback and mentoring about dispositions
and behaviors in conjunction with completion of these measures is recommended for inspiring and fostering these key professional attributes.
Applying Experiential Learning to Audiology Curricula
Authors: Stiles Derek J.
Published: June 2013

In my quest to become a better professor, I have been searching for the instructional paradigms that best facilitate the educational process between me and my students. To support this endeavor, I opted to study learning diversity. The results of my investigation led me to reflect upon
whether my teaching strategies inadvertently engaged only a subset of my students. I believe that was the case. In this article, I will describe the experiential learning model, how I used it to measure my students' learning styles, and how I used the model to make my teaching more holistic.
Standardized Patients in Audiology: A Proposal for a New Method of Evaluating Clinical Competence
Authors: Dinsmore Brooke Freeman , Bohnert Carrie , Preminger Jill E.
Published: June 2013

Background:While accrediting organizations require AuD programs to provide evidence that their students are able to demonstrate knowledge and competencies in specific content areas, there are no generally accepted mechanisms for the assessment and the measurement of these proficiencies.
We propose that AuD programs consider developing standardized patient (SP) cases in order to develop consistent summative assessment programs within and across universities.Purpose:The purpose of this article is to provide a framework for establishing SP programs to evaluate competencies
in AuD students by detailing the history of SP cases and their use, developing a rationale for this method of assessment, and outlining the steps for writing and implementing SP cases.Research Design:Literature review.Results:SPs have been used to assess clinical competence in
medical students for over 50 yr. The prevalence of SP assessment in allied health professions (e.g., dentistry, psychology, pharmacy) has increased over the last two decades but has only gained a limited following in audiology. SP assessment has been implemented in medical education using
the Objective Structured Clinical Examination, a multistation, timed exam that uses fictional cases to assess students' clinical abilities. To date, only one published report has been completed that evaluates the use of SPs to assess clinical abilities in audiology students. This article expands
upon the work of English et al (2007) and their efforts to use SPs to evaluate counseling abilities. To this end, we describe the steps necessary to write a case, procedures to determine performance requirements, and the need to develop remediation plans. As an example, we include a case that
we have developed in order to evaluate vestibular assessment and patient communication skills.Conclusions:Utilizing SP assessment in audiology education would provide useful means to evaluate competence in a uniform way. Future research is necessary to develop reliable and valid cases
that may be implemented across programs. This article aims to serve as a call to audiology programs to begin developing and reporting these cases. Once these are established we can begin to use SP cases for summative assessment.
Demand for Audiology Services: 30-Yr Projections and Impact on Academic Programs
Authors: Windmill Ian M. , Freeman Barry A.
Published: June 2013

Background:Significant growth in the U.S. population over the next 30 yr will likely increase the demand for hearing-care services. In addition, increased accessibility to hearing-care services may be realized due to increased insurance coverage associated with health-care reform
efforts. In order to meet this demand, the supply of audiologists will have to keep pace. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has developed a Physician Supply Model to predict the necessary number of physicians needed in the future to meet demand. This model is adopted for predicting
whether the supply of audiologists will be adequate over the next 30 yr.Purpose:To apply the Physician Supply Model to the audiology profession and then determine if the predicted supply of audiologists will meet the demand for audiologists over the next 30 yr.Data Collection and
Analysis:The Physician Supply Model was modified to account for variables unique to the profession of audiology, and the future supply of audiologists is predicted. The predicted demand for audiology was developed based on changes in population demographics over the next 30 yr. The results
of the demand calculations and the supply calculations were compared.Results:The current growth rate for audiologists was determined by examining the difference between the number of graduates entering the field and the number leaving. One of the unexpected variables is that the past
attrition of graduates, that is, the number of persons who voluntarily leave audiology at some point after graduation, is approximately 40%. The attrition rate combined with the retirement rate results in more persons exiting the profession than entering. Lowering the attrition rate to 20%
will result in a positive growth rate. However, even with an attrition rate of 0%, the supply of audiologists will not meet demand.Conclusions:To meet demand, the number of persons entering the field will have to increase by 50% beginning immediately. In addition, the attrition rate
will have to be lowered to 20%. Any combination of increased graduation rate and lowered attrition will improve the opportunities to meet demand. Additional strategies could include increasing the capacity of current practitioners or allowing internationally trained audiologists to practice
in the United States.
Academic Programs, Class Sizes, and Obstacles to Growth in Audiology
Authors: Windmill Ian M.
Published: June 2013

Background:Over the past 25 yr, the number of academic programs in audiology has been cut by half, yet there continue to be calls for further reductions in the number of programs. Reducing the number of programs potentially affects the number of graduates and therefore could
impact the availability of audiologists in the future. There is a question as to whether academic programs in audiology could accommodate more students.Purpose:To examine the impact of closure of programs on the number of graduates and to identify obstacles to programs growing class
sizes.Data Collection and Analysis:An analysis of audiology class sizes over time based on data available from the Council of Academic Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders, and a comparison of audiology class sizes with other health professions, to identify trends that affect
growth in program size.Results:The key obstacles to growth of academic programs are (1) the availability of sufficient clinical experiences to meet the licensure and certification requirements and (2) financial resources to expand didactic and clinical teaching needs associated with
larger class sizes.Conclusions:(1) Certification regulations and licensure laws should be revised to eliminate requirements that directly impact on academic programs or students prior to graduation. (2) The profession should undertake the effort designed to change Medicare regulations
to allow alternative supervision models. (3) Academic programs need freedom to be creative in their approaches to teaching and financing programs. (4) A concerted and coordinated effort needs to be undertaken to increase the number of persons interested in audiology as a career.
Recent Findings on the Mechanisms Involved in Tenofovir Resistance
Authors: Iyidogan Pinar , Anderson Karen S
Published: June 2013

Since its approval for clinical use in 2001, tenofovir (TFV) has become one of the most frequently prescribed nucleotide analogues used in combination with other antiretroviral agents against HIV-1 infection. Although reverse transcriptase inhibitors (RTIs) including TFV have been shown to be highly potent with reasonable safety profiles in the clinic, drug resistance hinders the effectiveness of current therapies and even causes treatment failure. Therefore, understanding the resistance mechanisms of RT and exploring the potential antiviral synergy between the different RTIs in combination therapies against the resistance mechanisms would greatly improve the long-term efficacy of existing and future regimens. We have studied the pyrophosphorolytic removal of TFV, a major resistance mechanism that RT utilizes, from two different viral sequences and observed interesting outcomes associated with the sequence context. Furthermore, addition of efavirenz, a non-nucleoside RTI, inhibits this removal process confirming the synergistic antiviral effects. This article highlights our recently published work on the viral sequence context contributing to the study of anti-HIV drug resistance in conjunction with the benefits of combining various RTIs that may have been neglected previously.
Hiv-1 Drug Resistance in Treatment-Naive, Chronically Infected Patients in Jamaica
Authors: Barrow Geoffrey J , Hylton-Kong Tina , Rodriguez Nayra , Yamamura Yasuhiro , Figueroa J Peter
Published: June 2013

Background

HIV-1 drug resistance in treatment-naive patients has a significant impact on the individual patient as well as implications for the wider population. These effects are amplified in the context of resource-limited settings, which are rapidly expanding access to antiretroviral therapy.

Methods

This cross-sectional survey at a single treatment site in Kingston, Jamaica was designed to identify the prevalence of HIV-1 drug-resistant mutations in chronically infected, treatment-naive patients. Mutations were identified using the Stanford HIV database algorithm and the World Health Organization (WHO) HIV Drug Resistance (HIVDR) surveillance mutations.

Results

The inclusion of 103 cases in the study resulted in 79 (76.6%) amplifiable samples. Genotype analysis revealed that 12.6% (95% CI 5.3, 19.9) were identified as having clinically significant mutations, while 10.1% (95% CI 3.5, 16.7) had WHO HIVDR surveillance mutations.

Conclusions

According to the WHO standard, this study population has a moderate level of HIVDR in treatment-naive patients and strongly implies the need to introduce HIVDR surveillance in Jamaica.
Les syndicats du spectacle et le placement dans l'entre-deux-guerres
Authors: Cardon Vincent , Grégoire Mathieu
Published: June 2013

Cet article a pour objet le rapport des syndicats du spectacle à la question du placement dans l’entre-deux-guerres, soit la période de leur histoire durant laquelle leur ambition de maîtrise du marché du travail a été la plus affirmée. Les questions du placement et des intermédiaires du marché du travail sont au cœur des préoccupations syndicales dès l’origine du syndicalisme artistique et la lutte contre les agents artistiques figure parmi ses mots d’ordre les plus anciens et les plus récurrents. S’ils obtiennent en 1928 l’intégration des agences au droit commun du placement, les syndicats ne parviennent pas à les faire interdire. En effet, toutes les tentatives de mise en place de dispositifs de placement gratuit (publiques via l’Agence officielle du spectacle, syndicales ou associatives) éprouvées dans les années 1920 et 1930, échouent. Les agents artistiques conservent donc, entre les deux guerres, une position d’intermédiaire puissant sur le marché du travail. L’impossible substitution d’un dispositif public ou syndical gratuit au placement privé payant tient à la structure de l’emploi artistique, discontinu, à employeurs multiples, mais également à celle du système de production culturelle auquel il est arrimé. Elle-même est discontinue et centrée sur Paris et rayonne ensuite vers la province. Il faut également prendre en compte les difficultés de définition de la qualification et de la professionnalité dans ces univers professionnels pour comprendre cette permanence de l’intermédiaire privé sur le marché du travail artistique.
Portrait d'un service public en intermédiaire : l'ANPE Spectacle de Paris
Authors: Sigalo Santos Luc
Published: June 2013

En prenant pour objet d’étude l’ANPE Spectacle de Paris, l’auteur examine dans cet article les enjeux propres à l’intervention d’un service public investi d’une mission d’intermédiation sur les marchés du travail artistique, dont les caractéristiques sont a priori éloignées des marchés du travail habituellement investis par l’agence. À partir d’une enquête socio-historique combinant archives administratives et entretiens, il met au jour l’équivocité des objectifs qui président à l’encadrement bureaucratique des positions d’agents artistiques privés d’une part, et à la restriction des conditions d’accès à cette agence spécialisée d’autre part.
Les associations professionnelles de marchands d'art après 1945 : lobbying et modernisation à Paris et à New York
Authors: Verlaine Julie
Published: June 2013

Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale sont créées, dans les deux capitales mondiales du marché de l’art que sont Paris et New York, des associations professionnelles regroupant les marchands d’art moderne et contemporain : le Comité professionnel des galeries d’art (1947) et l’Art Dealers Association of America (1962). Leurs archives reflètent les débats intenses qui agitent la profession des deux côtés de l’Atlantique autour des questions de compétitivité internationale et de reconnaissance du rôle du marché dans le monde de l’art. Ces associations, représentatives de la frange la plus ambitieuse des galeries, se spécialisent dans des actions de lobbying auprès des instances politiques et artistiques, tout en menant une réflexion normative sur la profession de marchand d’art et sa déontologie. Elles sont moins efficaces, en revanche, dans la codification des relations commerciales entre galeristes et artistes. L’histoire de ces structures intermédiaires collective livre une approche originale de la rivalité artistique entre Paris et New York, et permet de comprendre d’après quels modèles se développent depuis les années 1970 les multiples associations de marchands créées dans le monde occidental puis extra-occidental.

La traversée historique du Grand Paris
Authors: Bellanger Emmanuel
Published: June 2013

Le Grand Paris fut et demeure un territoire que l’imaginaire collectif associe à une histoire conflictuelle opposant la ville de Paris dominatrice et arrogante à ses banlieues jalouses de leur indépendance. Pourtant le Grand Paris est aussi l’histoire d’une solidarité oubliée. L’historien Emmanuel Bellanger nous narre comment cette entité, née au début du XIX e siècle, a su créer des projets communs profitant à tous et inventer une gestion partagée des territoires. La loi de réorganisation de la région parisienne du 10 juillet 1964, en redécoupant le maillage départemental de l’agglomération parisienne et en désolidarisant Paris de son environnement, a fait basculer ce territoire capitale dans l’éclatement et les rivalités.
Un « nouveau » Grand Paris ?
Authors: Epstein Renaud
Published: June 2013

Initié par Nicolas Sarkozy en 2007, le projet du Grand Paris visait à « permettre à la France de tenir son rang dans la compétition des territoires, en faisant de sa capitale une “ville monde” ouverte, dynamique, attractive, créatrice de richesses et d’emplois 1  ». À cette fin, diverses démarches ont été entreprises, visant à élaborer une vision prospective du devenir de la métropole francilienne, à réformer son organisation institutionnelle et à construire le Grand Paris Express, réseau de transport public reliant les principaux pôles économiques de la région, les aéroports, les gares TGV et le centre de Paris. Au lendemain du discours de Jean-Marc Ayrault sur le « nouveau Grand Paris », Mouvements a souhaité revenir sur ce projet, ses orientations et son processus d’élaboration, en invitant deux élus et un universitaire : Patrick Braouezec (Front de gauche), président de la communauté d’agglomération Plaine commune, Emmanuelle Cosse (Europe Ecologie – Les Verts) Vice-présidente du Conseil régional Ile-de-France, chargée du logement, de l’habitat, du renouvellement urbain et de l’action foncière, et Daniel Béhar, géographe, professeur à l’Institut d’urbanisme de Paris.

Članek obravnava izbrane probleme pri raziskovanju »izbrisanih« v Sloveniji. Sama tema je vplivala na način raziskave, ki je prešla na polje politično angažirane in sodelovalne antropologije. Uporabna antropologija, ki je vedno tudi vidik politične antropologije, na najrazličnejše načine vpliva na svet, v katerem preučujemo ljudi, in na ljudi, ki jih preučujemo. Najprej zaradi tega, ker nekatere fenomene postavimo v javnost, omogočamo komunikacijo med nami, raziskovalci, in neznanstveno skupnostjo. Poleg tega politično angažirani akcijski antropologi ne zbirajo le gradiva, temveč ga tudi ustvarjajo. Naposled to lahko pripelje do konkretnih sprememb glede na prejšnje stanje, kar se je dejansko zgodilo pri zakonskem položaju »izbrisanih«.

This article deals with some issues encountered while studying the phenomenon of people removed from the Slovenian register of permanent residents (known as the “erased”). The topic influenced the research, which  thus entered the domain of politically engaged and collaborative anthropology. Applied anthropology, which always represents a form of political anthropology, influences where we and the people we study live in a variety of ways. First of all, by making some issues public, communication between the general public and the researchers is enabled. Furthermore, politically engaged and activist anthropologists not only collect but also create data. In the end, all of this may result in some concrete changes in the existing status quo, which has been the case with the legislative status of the “erased.”
“They Have Accepted Us as Their Own”: Children of Slovenian Prisoners at the Sárvár Labor Camp in Foster Care with Farming Families in Vojvodina during the Second World War
Authors: Ravnik Mojca
Published: June 2013

Članek obravnava posebno poglavje v usodi primorskih kolonistov, ki so se po koncu 1. svetovne vojne naselili v kolonijah ob madžarsko-jugoslovanski (zdaj slovenski) meji v Prekmurju in ki jih je madžarska okupacijska oblast leta 1942 odgnala v internacijsko taborišče Sarvar na Madžarsko. Otroke je iz taborišča rešila Pravoslavna cerkev iz Novega Sada, ki je zanje organizirala rejništvo pri kmečkih družinah v Bački v Vojvodini. Članek temelji na gradivu, zbranem pri primorskih kolonistih v Prekmurju, in na podatkih iz literature, predvsem pa na pričevanju Jožeta Vidiča, ki je bil kot otrok pri rejnikih v vasi Sivac. V članku so predstavljeni rešitev otrok iz taborišč in njihova nastanitev v Bački, njihovo življenje in delo pri rejniških družinah, odnosi z družinskimi člani in vaščani. Tesne prijateljske vezi, podobne družinskim, se po vrnitvi otrok domov po koncu vojne niso prekinile.

The article focuses on a specific period in the lives of refugees from Primorska who, after the Firts World War, had established colonies in Prekmurje, then a part of Yugoslavia (now Slovenia) along the Hungarian-Yugoslav border. In 1942 the Hungarian occupational authorities moved them to the Sarvar Labor Camp in Hungary. Evacuated from there by the Orthodox Church of Novi Sad, many of their children were placed in foster care with farming families in Bačka in the province of Vojvodina. The article is based on data provided by the settlers who had returned to Prekmurje after the war, on literature, and particularly on eyewitness accounts by Jože Vidič. Vidič, himself a foster child reared in the Bačka village of Sivac. The article primarily examines the children’s rescue from the labor camp and their placing in Bačka; their life with foster families; and their relations with family members and villagers. Their mutual ties of friendship, not unlike those within the children’s primary families, were not severed after they had been returned to their original homes.

Themes of U.S. Wine Advertising and the Use of Geography and Place to Market Wine
Authors: Tiefenbacher John P.
Published: June 2013

Cet article décrit et traite du rôle de la géographie en matière de publicité pour le vin dans le célèbre magazine américain spécialisé en la matière : The Wine Spectator. L’analyse systématique du contenu visuel et textuel des 764 annonces publiées dans les 30 numéros (correspondant à deux ans de publication) démontre qu’environ 66 % d’entre elles présentaient des éléments géographiques, révélant clairement l’importance du lieu dans la production et la qualité de vin. L’approche qualitative basée sur une combinaison de méthodes a fait ressortir 8 messages identifiables et 11 thèmes distincts traités dans ces annonces. Le plus important d’entre eux étant l’importance du lieu et du paysage pour la qualité des vins. L’utilisation explicite de la notion de « terroir » n’est qu’un composant de la publicité vinicole actuelle et peut traduire l’évolution de la filière, passant de l’ère de la production de masse par les grandes entreprises vinicoles à la prolifération des plus petits producteurs intimement liés aux lieux et aux conditions de production. Cette étude jette les bases des recherches plus approfondies en vue de comparer les approches passées en matière d’annonces et l’importance relative de la géographie dans la publicité vinicole.

Optimum thermal annealing process operating condition for nanostructured porous silicon (nPSi) by using radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) was proposed. The nanostructured porous silicon (nPSi) layer samples prepared by electrochemical etching process (EC) of p-type silicon wafers under different operatingconditions, such as varyingetchingtime (Et), annealing temperature (AT), and annealing time (At). The electrical properties of nPSi show an enhancement with thermal treatment.Simulation result shows that the proposed model can be used in the experimental results in this operating condition with acceptable small error. This model can be used in nanotechnology based photonic devices and gas sensors.

Since few decades, the fabrications of metal oxide nanoparticles (MO-Nps) as well as their uses in various segments have been increased manifolds. An easy effort to produce an important category of MO-Nps as Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-Nps), with the assistance of mechano-solution method at various low temperatures, introducing Zinc acetate dihydrate and Sodium hydroxide into the molar solution of C19H42NBr complex (Cetrimonium bromide, CTAB) for much less than an hour was projected. The impact of this method performed at two different ranges of process temperatures was studied and the magnitude of the ZnO-Nps (like particle size, morphology and L/D dimensions) has been reported. On the top of this, the morphological study of these Nps has been presented. The characterization of the synthesized Nps was carried out with the help of SEM with EDS, XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy. The scanning electron microscopy has revealed the synthesis of peanut-shaped ZnO nanobunches (NBs) at two different ranges of temperature. An overall viable growth of the solitary nanoparticles constituting of ZnO-NBs has also been put forth. Hence, the effect of temperature on C19H42NBr complex (stabilizer) has been reported. In addition, a postulated model depicting the relationship of the temperature effect on the process parameters of ZnO-NBs has also been floated. The Gram +ve bacteria, Bacillus subtilis is a rod shaped bacteria which is commonly known as normal gut commensal in humans. Due to the emergence of anti-biotic resistant drugs, alternate medications are under primary considerations. A noteworthy experimentation was concerned with anti-bacterial activity of therapeutically viable Gram +ve bacteria, Bacillus subtilis and it was found that reported ZnO-NBs have become the promising entities for terminating the growth of these bacterias.

In this work, a green route for synthesis of Ag nanoparticles is presensted. For the synthesis of Ag nanoparticles, tulasi leaf extract (Ocimum leaf) in combination with microwave irradiation was used which yielded stable spherical Ag nanoparticle in the range of 5-50 nm. Surface morphology of nanoparticle was analyzed by XRD and TEM. UV-Vis analysis was also carried out to characterize the synthesized nanoparticles. The main feature of the process is that it is carried out in a very short span of time in comparison to other conventional physical, chemical and biological methods. Microwave assisted synthesis suppresses the enzymatic action to keep the process easy, fast and eco-friendly.
Staphylococcus aureus Formyl Peptide Receptor–like 1 Inhibitor (FLIPr) and Its Homologue FLIPr-like Are Potent FcγR Antagonists That Inhibit IgG-Mediated Effector Functions

To evade opsonophagocytosis, Staphylococcus aureus secretes various immunomodulatory molecules that interfere with effective opsonization by complement and/or IgG. Immune-evasion molecules targeting the phagocyte receptors for these opsonins have not been described. In this study, we demonstrate that S. aureus escapes from FcγR-mediated immunity by secreting a potent FcγR antagonist, FLIPr, or its homolog FLIPr-like. Both proteins were previously reported to function as formyl peptide receptor inhibitors. Binding of FLIPr was mainly restricted to FcγRII receptors, whereas FLIPr-like bound to different FcγR subclasses, and both competitively blocked IgG-ligand binding. They fully inhibited FcγR-mediated effector functions, including opsonophagocytosis and subsequent intracellular killing of S. aureus by neutrophils and Ab-dependent cellular cytotoxicity of tumor cells by both neutrophils and NK cells. In vivo, treatment of mice with FLIPr-like prevented the development of an immune complex–mediated FcγR-dependent Arthus reaction. This study reveals a novel immune-escape function for S. aureus–secreted proteins that may lead to the development of new therapeutic agents in FcγR-mediated diseases.
