Araignées et gestion des milieux : l'exemple de la Réserve naturelle nationale du Marais de Lavours (Ain)
Authors: Villepoux Olivier , Michaud Alice
Published: April 2017

Cet article de synthèse retrace l'étude des araignées de la Réserve naturelle nationale du Marais de Lavours depuis les premiers inventaires de 1986 jusqu'à ces dernières années. Les principaux résultats acquis sont récapitulés, en les présentant dans une optique d'apport au gestionnaire de cette aire protégée. Les relations avec la gestion des milieux, qui furent une constante préoccupation lors des études successives, sont soulignées. Ainsi, le rôle majeur tenu par la cladiaie dense vis-à-vis du peuplement aranéologique du marais est montré et une explication en est donnée. L'importance de zones refuges lors d'opérations de gestion de parcelles modifiant temporairement la structure de la végétation est mise en évidence. L'impact de deux modes de gestion des cariçaies à Carex elata est étudié et la validité d'une gestion par brûlage dirigé adapté est proposée. Les peuplements d'araignées de divers habitats du marais, notamment forestiers, sont inventoriés et analysés. L'importance de la prise en considération de la canopée forestière et des cavités d'arbres est indiquée. Enfin, la richesse globale de l'aranéofaune du site est illustrée par une liste à jour des espèces trouvées à Lavours.
Impact du sanglier (Sus scrofa) et de la corneille noire (Corvus corone) sur les prairies et l'avifaune nicheuse de la Réserve naturelle nationale du Marais de Lavours (Ain)
Authors: Darinot Fabrice
Published: April 2017

La Réserve naturelle nationale du Marais de Lavours a réalisé une étude des dégâts de sangliers (Sus scrofa) sur ses 225 ha de prairies hygrophiles et sur les nichées d'oiseaux au sol. Le labour des prairies en fin d'été peut atteindre un quart de leur surface totale, avec des intensités variables. Les expériences de nids postiches ont révélé un taux global de prédation variant de 82 % à 94 % selon les années, dû à parts égales aux corneilles noires (Corvus corone) et aux sangliers. Ces taux d'attaque sont à mettre en perspective avec la densité de sangliers restant dans la réserve naturelle en fin de saison de chasse, qui est probablement trop importante, en dépit des efforts mis en œuvre par les chasseurs et la réserve naturelle pour réguler la population de sangliers. L'impact des corneilles noires sur les couvées est tout aussi alarmant et plaide également pour une régulation de l'espèce. En réalité, les densités trop fortes de ces deux espèces ne sont que le résultat d'une agriculture céréalière tournée vers le maïs, qui leur offre une ressource alimentaire en excès.
Analyse des principales méthodes de bio-évaluation basées sur les macroinvertébrés benthiques
Authors: Beauger Aude , Lair Nicole
Published: April 2017

Les premières analyses permettant d'estimer la qualité des eaux continentales datent du début du XXe siècle, mais il faudra attendre les années 1960, avec l'augmentation de la demande en eau et la prise de conscience des pollutions, pour que des organismes d'État soient créés et que des méthodes standardisées d'évaluation, dont celles basées sur les macroinvertébrés benthiques, soient mises en place (Angleterre, 1960 ; France, 1964), puis améliorées. Actuellement nous disposons de quatre catégories de méthodes : deux d'entre elles sont dérivées du Trent Biotic Index (1964) et du Chandler's Biotic Index (1970), auxquelles se sont ajoutées des méthodes prédictives (1988) et des méthodes rapides de bio-évaluation (1989), basées sur l'expérience acquise. L'examen critique des différentes méthodes de bio-évaluation a permis de constater d'importantes disparités : dimension de la station et modes d'échantillonnage, niveau de détermination des taxons, critères d'évaluation de la qualité (notes et méthodes prédictives), etc. En outre, dans la majorité des cas, le fonctionnement physique du milieu (géomorphologie fluviale) est totalement ignoré. Ce manque de coordination sera-t-il corrigé par le «Blueprint to safeguard Europe's water» (plan de sauvegarde de l'eau en Europe), proposé en novembre 2012 par la DCE ?
Impacts anthropiques et hydroclimatiques sur l'évolution des peuplements de macroinvertébrés du Rhône au cours des trente dernières années
Authors: Fruget Jean-François , Dessaix Jeanne
Published: April 2017

L'évolution des peuplements de macroinvertébrés au cours des trente dernières années montre les effets potentiels des facteurs hydroclimatiques et thermiques sur la structure et le fonctionnement des peuplements à une échelle régionale. En dehors de particularités locales, on observe au cours du temps une tendance vers une uniformisation des peuplements à l'échelle du Rhône liée à l'influence des espèces invasives, des crues de l'automne 2002 et du réchauffement des eaux suite à la canicule de 2003.
L'herbier bryophytique de Noël-Antoine Aunier (1781-1859) au lycée Ampère de Lyon

The bryological herbarium of Noël-Antoine Aunier (1781-1859) at the lycée Ampère (Lyon, France)

An herbarium kept at the lycée Ampère was attributed with doubts to Aunier, one of the founders of the Société linnéenne de Lyon. A reappraisal of this herbarium confirms it was gathered by Noël-Antoine Aunier. Although the preservation is good, several collects are missing. Despite this, the herbarium has an interest in contributing to the establishment of the yet undone Rhône department bryophyte catalog.

PROCEDIMENTOS DE MANUTENÇÃO PADRÃO PARA ATIVIDADES E SERVIÇOS EM ELETRICIDADE E SEU PAPEL NA PREVENÇÃO DE ACIDENTES DO TRABALHO.
Authors: Albuquerque Daniel Ferreira , Neto Odilon Carreiro de Almeida
Published: April 2017

O presente trabalho tem o objetivo de analisar os procedimentos padrões de segurança em relação a serviços com eletricidade com o escopo de reduzir o alto índice de acidentes de trabalho. Quando há um ambiente de trabalho que envolve eletricidade direta ou indiretamente ou ainda em sua proximidade é necessário adotar medidas para que o risco não se torne um acidente. Os serviços que envolvem eletricidade são potenciais causadores de riscos ao trabalhador, o qual está sujeito quando opera com eletricidade, mesmo que se trate de instalação elétrica de baixa tensão. O contato com o corpo e as partes energizadas de uma instalação elétrica de baixa tensão produz o chamado “choque elétrico”, e se for de alta tensão, têm-se o “arco elétrico” que precede de contato, e em geral, leva à morte. Nesta conjuntura, a Norma Brasileira NR-10 tem o condão de adequar os procedimentos de trabalho, a formalização dos papéis e responsabilidades dos profissionais envolvidos, e a prática das medidas de controle dos riscos. Assim, este trabalho tem a finalidade de realizar uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a Norma Regulamentadora NR-10 e analisar e aplicar procedimentos padrões relacionando com o atual cenário de segurança no trabalho.

Published: April 2017

Objective.

To examine the clinical correlates and survival in patients with antifibrillarin antibodies (AFA) in a large international study population consisting of well-characterized systemic sclerosis (SSc) cohorts from Canada, Australia, and the United States.

Methods.

Baseline clinical data from the prospective cohorts (Canadian Scleroderma Research Group, the Australian Scleroderma Cohort Study, and the American Genetics versus Environment in Scleroderma Outcome Study) were investigated. Clinical variables were harmonized and sera were tested for AFA using a commercially available SSc profile line immunoassay, regardless of the immunofluorescence staining pattern. Association of demographic and clinical features with AFA was investigated by logistic or linear regression. Further, a survival analysis was performed by Cox regression analysis.

Results.

A total of 1506 patients with SSc with complete serological profiles were included in the study. Fifty-two patients (3.5%) had antibodies detected against fibrillarin. Patients of African descent and Native North American ethnicity were more likely to be AFA-positive compared with other ethnicities. After adjustment for demographic factors, diffuse involvement, and intestinal bacterial overgrowth requiring antibiotics, gastrointestinal reflux disease showed a trend for association with AFA. Further, AFA positivity was associated with shorter survival independently of demographic factors and disease type (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.11–2.79, p = 0.016).

Conclusion.

In this large multinational SSc cohort, AFA was associated with Native American ethnicity and was an independent predictor of mortality.
Measuring Physical Activity in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Activity Diary Versus Accelerometer
Authors: Armbrust Wineke , Bos G.J.F. Joyce , Geertzen Jan H.B. , Sauer Pieter J.J. , Dijkstra Pieter U. , Lelieveld Otto T.H.M.
Published: April 2017

Objective.

(1) To determine convergent validity of an activity diary (AD) and accelerometer (Actical brand/Phillips-Respironics) in measuring physical activity (PA) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). (2) To determine how many days give reliable results. (3) To analyze effects of correcting accelerometer data for non-wear.

Methods.

Patients with JIA (8–13 yrs) were recruited from 3 Dutch pediatric rheumatology centers. PA was assessed for 7 days with an AD and accelerometer, and was expressed as mean min/day of rest, light PA (LPA), moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA), and PA level (PAL). To analyze convergent validity, intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) were calculated and paired sample Student t tests were performed. The required number of days to achieve reliable results was calculated using the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula.

Results.

Convergent validity between AD and accelerometer was moderate for rest and PAL (ICC 0.41). ICC for LPA and MVPA were < 0.24. AD overestimated PAL and MVPA compared with the accelerometer. Wearing the accelerometer 7–19 days gave reliable PA estimates on group and individual levels. For the AD, 13–36 days were needed. Adjusting accelerometer data for non-wear resulted in a clinically relevant higher mean number of min/day spent in LPA (effect size 1.12), but not in MVPA (effect size 0.44).

Conclusion.

Convergent validity between AD and accelerometer is moderate to poor. In children with JIA, 1-week assessment with an accelerometer is sufficient to measure PA (all levels) reliably. On an individual level and for clinical use, 3 weeks are required. Additional use of AD enables correction for non-wear of accelerometer data.
Submaximal Exercise Capacity in Juvenile Dermatomyositis after Longterm Disease: The Contribution of Muscle, Lung, and Heart Involvement
Authors: Berntsen Kristin Schjander , Tollisen Anita , Schwartz Thomas , Kirkhus Eva , Aaløkken Trond Mogens , Lund May Brit , Flatø Berit , Sjaastad Ivar , Sanner Helga
Published: April 2017

Objective.

To compare submaximal exercise capacity in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) with controls, and analyze contributions of muscle, heart, and lung impairment in patients.

Methods.

Fifty-nine patients with JDM, with a mean 16.9 years after symptom onset, and 59 sex- and age-matched controls completed a 6-min walk test (6MWT) and a timed up and go (TUG) test. Muscle function, disease activity/damage, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were assessed by validated tools; heart function by echocardiography and electrocardiography; and lung function by spirometry, DLCO, and body plethysmography. A thoracic high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the thighs were completed in patients.

Results.

The 6MWT distance (6MWD) was 592 ± 81 m in patients versus 649 ± 79 m in controls (p < 0.001), and 563 ± 75 m in active versus 622 ± 76 m in inactive JDM (p = 0.004). The TUG time was 13.1 ± 2.1 s in patients versus 12.3 ± 2.0 s in controls (p = 0.034), and 13.7 ± 2.2 s in active versus 12.5 ± 1.8 s in inactive JDM (p = 0.028). No statistically significant difference was found between inactive JDM and controls in either test. In patients, the Childhood Myositis Assessment Score influenced the 6MWD and TUG time the most, followed by a low DLCO and HRCT pathology in the 6MWT and forced vital capacity in the TUG test. Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 physical component summary correlated strongly with both tests.

Conclusion.

Submaximal exercise capacity was reduced in patients with JDM, particularly those with active disease. This reduction was associated with muscle and lung dysfunction and poorer HRQOL.
The Relationship Between Cardiac Conduction Times, Cardiovascular Risk Factors, and Inflammation in Patients with Early Arthritis
Authors: Turk Samina A. , Heslinga Sjoerd C. , Dekker Jill , Britsemmer Linda , van der Lugt Véronique , Lems Willem F. , van Schaardenburg Dirkjan , Nurmohamed Michael T.
Published: April 2017

Objective.

To investigate the prevalence of conduction disorders in patients with early arthritis and the relationship with inflammation and traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors.

Methods.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a 2-fold higher risk of sudden cardiac death, possibly owing to conduction disorders. This increased risk might already be present at the clinical onset of arthritis. Therefore, we assessed electrocardiography, blood pressure, 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28), lipid profile, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) level in 480 patients with early arthritis at baseline and after 1 year.

Results.

The prevalence of conduction disorders was 12.5%. Conduction times at baseline were not associated with DAS28, ESR, or CRP levels and did not change during antirheumatic treatment. Baseline and the improvement in DAS28 (European League Against Rheumatism response), ESR, and CRP were significantly associated with heart rate, lipid profile, and blood pressure. Elevated total cholesterol and blood pressure were associated with an increased QRS time. The change in heart rate differed 7.3 bpm between patients with the least versus largest DAS improvement.

Conclusion.

The prevalence of conduction disorders in patients with early arthritis was 12.5%, which is similar to the general population and was not associated with changes in inflammation markers. However, a high cholesterol was associated with a prolonged QRS time. Therefore, the emphasis of CV risk management in arthritis should not be only on treatment of disease activity but also on traditional CV risk factors. The relationship between the improvement in disease activity and heart rate is remarkable because this could imply a 10-year CV mortality risk difference of 24%.
Patients with Early Rheumatoid Arthritis in the 2000s Have Equal Disability and Pain Despite Less Disease Activity Compared with the 1990s: Data from the BARFOT Study over 8 Years
Authors: Andersson Maria L.E. , Forslind Kristina , Hafström Ingiäld
Published: April 2017

Objective.

To compare outcomes over the first 8 years in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) recruited in the 1990s and the 2000s, with a special focus on functional disability and its possible predictors.

Methods.

Data were acquired from 1938 patients with early RA (American College of Rheumatology 1987 criteria) included in the BARFOT study, who had completed the 8-year followup. The patients were divided into 2 cohorts: cohort 1 (n = 928, 68% women) included from 1992 to 1999 and cohort 2 (n = 1010, 70% women) included from 2000 to 2006. Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28), visual analog scale pain, and radiographs of hands and feet scored by the van der Heijde modified Sharp method were assessed during the 8 years. Longitudinal data analyses were performed using a generalized linear model.

Results.

Despite more active medical treatment during the 2000s, the courses of HAQ and pain showed no difference between the cohorts during followup, in either women or in men, with significantly higher levels in women compared with men. However, as expected, disease activity decreased more over time in cohort 2 compared with cohort 1, for both sexes, and women in cohort 2 had less radiographic progression compared with cohort 1. HAQ was associated with DAS28, pain, radiological scores, and sex in both cohorts, and in cohort 2 also with age and smoking.

Conclusion.

Patients included in the 2000s had lower disease activity, but not less activity limitation and pain over 8 years of followup despite more active treatment. Pain, aging, and smoking might explain why patients included in the 2000s still had the same disability levels as those included in the 1990s.
Subclinical Cardiac Dysfunction in Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis: A Speckle-tracking Case-control Study
Authors: Guerra Federico , Gelardi Chiara , Capucci Alessandro , Gabrielli Armando , Danieli Maria Giovanna
Published: April 2017

Objective.

Subclinical heart disease occurs in up to 50% of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) and is difficult to detect through conventional imaging. We investigated the usefulness of global longitudinal strain (GLS) measurement to detect a subclinical systolic ventricular dysfunction in patients with IIM.

Methods.

We enrolled 28 patients with IIM and 28 matched controls in a 1:1 fashion. Standard variables for the left ventricle (LV) and right ventricle (RV) systolic and diastolic function were measured and compared between cases and controls, along with speckle-tracking GLS of the LV and RV. A possible correlation between GLS and muscle strength, disease activity, cardiovascular risk factors, and other organ systems involvement was searched.

Results.

Standard variables of systolic and diastolic dysfunction were similar between patients and controls. GLS was significantly lower in patients when compared with controls for both LV (−18.7 ± 4.2% vs −21.2 ± 2.1%, p = 0.006) and RV (−19.3 ± 6.3% vs −22.5 ± 3.8%, p = 0.033). Patients with IIM had a 4.9-fold increased risk for impaired left GLS [relative risk (RR) 4.9, 95% CI 1.5–15.8, p = 0.006], which involved usually basal and mid-segments of the anterior, anterior-septal, and lateral wall. Patients with IIM had a 3.4-fold increased risk for impaired right GLS (RR 3.4, 95% CI 1.1–11.7, p = 0.04) with the basal segment of the free RV wall most frequently involved. Muscle strength, disease activity, damage and duration, other organ system involvement, and previous treatment were not associated with reduced GLS.

Conclusion.

Subclinical systolic impairment is common in patients with IIM without overt LV dysfunction. In this context, GLS is a potentially useful variable.
The Use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Axial Spondyloarthritis: Time to Bridge the Gap Between Radiologists and Rheumatologists
Authors: Bennett Alexander N. , Marzo-Ortega Helena , Kaur-Papadakis Daljit , Rehman Amer
Published: April 2017

Objective.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is involved in the assessment of axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA); however, anecdotal evidence suggests diverse practice among radiologists. The objective of this study was to describe current practice in the use of MRI for assessment of axSpA by UK radiologists.

Methods.

Six hundred ninety-nine UK radiologists were invited to complete an online survey. Availability of MR scanners, familiarity with axSpA disease-specific lesions, and MRI protocols and definitions of positive sacroiliac joint (SIJ) or spinal MRI were assessed.

Results.

Two-hundred sixty-nine radiologists (38%) from 131/180 (73%) acute UK National Health Service trusts/health boards responded. MRI waiting times < 2 months were reported by 90% of radiologists. Twenty-nine radiologists (11%) used contrast as standard, 256 (91%) used T1 and short-tau inversion recovery, and 172 (64%) also used T2 sequences. Five percent scanned only SIJ, 33% scanned SIJ and lumbar spine, 29% scanned SIJ and thoracolumbar spine, and 30% scanned SIJ and the whole spine. Mean scan time was 34 min. Eighteen percent did not use the subchondral bone marrow edema of the SIJ to help diagnose axSpA and 18% did not use the inflammatory vertebral corner lesions to assist diagnosis. Awareness of axSpA was reported by 75% of radiologists, and awareness of definitions for positive MRI of SIJ and spine by 31% and 25%, respectively.

Conclusion.

These data highlight the need for better rheumatology-radiology collaboration on the identification of diagnostic axSpA MRI lesions and support the need for a consensus on the most appropriate MRI protocols for the assessment of axSpA.
Serum Levels of Interleukin 33 and Soluble ST2 Are Associated with the Extent of Disease Activity and Cutaneous Manifestations in Patients with Active Adult-onset Still’s Disease
Authors: Han Jae Ho , Suh Chang-Hee , Jung Ju-Yang , Ahn Mi-Hyun , Kwon Ji Eun , Yim Hyunee , Kim Hyoun-Ah
Published: April 2017

Objective.

Interleukin 33 (IL-33), a member of the IL-1 family and a ligand of the orphan receptor ST2, plays key roles in innate and adaptive immunity. We examined the associations between IL-33/ST2 levels and clinical manifestations of patients with active adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD).

Methods.

Blood samples were collected from 40 patients with active AOSD, 28 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and 27 healthy controls (HC). The serum levels of IL-33 and soluble ST2 were determined using ELISA. Expression levels of IL-33 and ST2 in biopsy specimens obtained from 34 AOSD patients with rash were immunohistochemically investigated.

Results.

IL-33 levels of patients with AOSD were higher than those of patients with RA and HC. Soluble ST2 levels of patients with AOSD were higher than those of HC, but not of patients with RA. Serum IL-33 levels correlated with systemic score, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, ferritin levels, and aspartate transaminase levels. However, serum soluble ST2 levels correlated only with ferritin levels. The numbers of inflammatory cells expressing IL-33 and ST2 were elevated in skin lesions of patients with AOSD compared to HC, but did not differ from those of the skin lesions of eczema or psoriasis.

Conclusion.

We found significantly higher serum IL-33 and soluble ST2 levels in patients with active AOSD. Results indicate that the IL-33/ST2 signaling pathway may play a role in the pathogenesis of the acute inflammation and skin manifestations associated with AOSD.

Cet article propose une approche neuroergonomique et sa mise en œuvre visant la caractérisation de la motricité en situation quotidienne, chez des personnes souffrant de troubles neurologiques. Sont plus particulièrement étudiées, dans le cas spécifique de la maladie de Parkinson, les activités de marche considérées ici comme des activités complexes et situées. Nous proposons, dans ce cadre, une méthodologie d’évaluation écologique intégrant observations ethnographiques, recueil de l’expérience subjective et enregistrements physiologiques et bio­mécaniques (éléctromyographie, accéléromètrie,..) déployée dans le cas d’une femme de 54 ans, dont la maladie est diagnostiquée depuis 10 ans. Les données permettent 1) d’identifier des phases motrices significatives relatives à l’expérience corporelle vécue dans la dynamique des prises médicamenteuses, 2) d’enrichir des catégories de configurations de marche émergeant dans un couplage individu/environnement, 3) de caractériser des situations de vulnérabilités spécifiques. Nous discutons ces résultats et le potentiel de cette approche neuroergonomique au regard de la cohérence et de la complémentarité des différents niveaux de données, des applications cliniques, en lien avec les enjeux actuels de l’éducation thérapeutique, de la formation des professionnels de santé et de la médecine personnalisée.
Pain management in patients with long-bone fractures in a district hospital in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Authors: Awolola Adeleye M. , Campbell Laura , Ross Andrew
Published: April 2017

Background: This study reviewed pain severity and assessment as recalled by patients with longbone fractures. The focus was on the intervals between admission, pain assessment and analgesic provision, as delay of analgesia for acute pain can result in complex chronic pain syndromes.Aim: The aims were to explore patients’ recollection of pain severity and assessment in an emergency department (ED) and whether analgesia prescribed in the ED correlated with pain severity.' Setting: The study site was a district hospital ED in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.Methods: This exploratory study considered aspects of pain in adults with long-bone fracture who were admitted to an ED and later referred to an orthopaedic unit. Data collection took place in the orthopaedic unit where participants were requested to recall their pain severity (using a visual analogue scale) whilst in the ED.Results: Ninety-three patients participated, most of whom were African males. Over 60% recalled their pain severity in the ED as 5 or greater on a visual analogue perception scale. No formal tool was used to assess or record pain in the ED, and there was no association between recalled pain severity and type of analgesia prescribed.Conclusion: The majority of patients were assessed for pain in the ED. Analgesia given to most patients was inadequate for the degree of pain they experienced. A pain assessment protocol should be developed for doctors and nurses to serve as a guideline in assessing patients with long-bone fractures and prescribing appropriate analgesia.

Канонический ансамбль частиц, блуждающих без самопересечений
Authors: Alkhimov Valerii Ivanovich
Published: April 2017

Рассматривается ансамбль не взаимодействующих между собой частиц, случайно блуждающих в $d$-мерном евклидовом пространстве $\mathbb R^d$. Отдельные перемещения каждой частицы подчинены одному и тому же распределению, но после завершения каждого такого перемещения ее положение фиксируется "меткой" - областью в виде шара диаметра $r_0$, недоступной для последующих посещений этой частицей. В результате в пространстве $\mathbb R^d$ получен соответствующий ансамбль "меченых" траекторий, в каждой из которых расстояние между центрами любой пары указанных шаров больше $r_0$. Изложен метод вычисления асимптотики плотности вероятности $W_n(\mathbf r)$ расстояния $r$ между центрами начального и конечного шаров траектории, состоящей из $n$ отдельных перемещений некоторой частицы ансамбля. Помимо расстояния $r$, случайной величиной в рассматриваемой модели является и число $n$ - модуль траектории, что обусловливает необходимость определения распределения для $n$, в качестве которого используется каноническое распределение, полученное при наиболее вероятном распределении частиц в ансамбле по модулям их траекторий. Усреднение плотности $W_n(\mathbf r)$ по каноническому распределению модуля $n$ позволяет найти асимптотику плотности вероятности расстояния $r$ между концами траекторий частиц канонического ансамбля, блуждающих без самопересечений в $\mathbb R^d$, когда $2\leq d<4$.

Глобальная неразрешимость нелинейной модели проводника в квазистационарном приближении
Authors: Korpusov Maxim Olegovich , Yushkov Egor Vladislavovich
Published: April 2017

Исследуются начально-краевые задачи для модельного дифференциального уравнения в ограниченных областях с квадратичной нелинейностью специального вида, характерной для теории проводников. Методом пробных функций показано, что нелинейность такого типа может приводить к глобальной во времени неразешимости, что с физической точки зрения означает электрический пробой проводника за конечное время. Для простейших пробных функций получены достаточные условия неразрешимости модельных задач, оценки для скорости и времени разрушения. На конкретных примерах демонстрируется возможность использования метода для одно-, двух- и трехмерных задач при классических и неклассических граничных условиях.

Abstract. The Maïdo high-altitude observatory located in Reunion Island (21° S, 55.5° E) is equipped with Lidar1200, an innovative Raman lidar designed to measure the water vapor mixing ratio in the troposphere and the lower stratosphere. The calibration methodology is based on a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) IWV (Integrated Water Vapor) dataset and lamp measurements. The mean relative standard error on the calibration coefficient is around 2.7 %. Two years of lidar water vapor measurements from November 2013 to October 2015 are now processed. By comparing CFH (Cryogenic Frost point Hygrometer) radiosonde profiles with the Raman lidar profiles, the ability of the lidar to provide accurate measurements is possible up to 22 km. The ability of measuring water vapor mixing ratios of a few ppmv in the lower stratosphere is demonstrated with a 48-hours integration time period, an absolute error lower than 0.8 ppmv and a relative error less than 20 %. This Raman lidar is dedicated to provide regular profiles of water vapor measurements with a high vertical resolution and low uncertainties to international networks; in the wider interest of research on stratosphere-troposphere exchange processes and on the long-term survey of water vapor in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere in the Southern Hemisphere. A strategy of data sampling and filtering is proposed to meet these objectives with regard to the altitude range requested. 10-min time integration and 65–90 m vertical resolution ensure a vertical profile reaching 10 km, but more than 2800 minutes and a vertical resolution of 150–1300 m are necessary to reach the lower stratosphere with an uncertainty less than 20 %.

Creating a web-based digital photographic archive: one hospital library’s experience
Authors: Marshall Caroline , Hobbs Janet
Published: April 2017

Background: Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is a nonprofit community hospital based in Los Angeles. Its history spans over 100 years, and its growth and development from the merging of 2 Jewish hospitals, Mount Sinai and Cedars of Lebanon, is also part of the history of Los Angeles. The medical library collects and maintains the hospital’s photographic archive, to which retiring physicians, nurses, and an active Community Relations Department have donated photographs over the years. The collection was growing rapidly, it was impossible to display all the materials, and much of the collection was inaccessible to patrons.Case Presentation: The authors decided to make the photographic collection more accessible to medical staff and researchers by purchasing a web-based digital archival package, Omeka. We decided what material should be digitized by analyzing archival reference requests and considering the institution’s plan to create a Timeline Wall documenting and celebrating the history of Cedars-Sinai.Conclusion: Within 8 months, we digitized and indexed over 500 photographs. The digital archive now allows patrons and researchers to access the history of the hospital and enables the library to process archival references more efficiently.

Authors: Mages Keith C. , Lohr Linda A.
Published: April 2017

Background: Anatomical subjects depicted in Eduard Pernkopf’s richly illustrated Topographische Anatomie des Menschen may be victims of the Nazi regime. Special collections librarians in the history of medicine can use this primary resource to initiate dialogs about ethics with medical students.Case Presentation: Reported here is the authors’ use of Pernkopf’s Atlas in an interactive medical humanities seminar designed for third-year medical students. Topical articles, illustrations, and interviews introduced students to Pernkopf, his Atlas, and the surrounding controversies. We aimed to illustrate how this controversial historical publication can successfully foster student discussion and ethical reflection.Conclusions: Pernkopf’s Atlas and our mix of contextual resources facilitated thoughtful discussions about history and ethics amongst the group. Anonymous course evaluations showed student interest in the subject matter, relevance to their studies, and appreciation of our special collection’s space and contents.

Will I be Able to Understand My Mentee? Examining the Potential Risk of the Dominant Culture Mentoring Marginalized Youth
Authors: Lindwall Jennifer
Published: April 2017

Most people would agree they want to live in a world where every child has what he or she needs to thrive and grow into a healthy and productive adult. It is estimated that 5,000 mentoring programs serve 3,000,000 youth in the United States alone (DuBois, Portillo, Rhodes, Silverthorn, & Valentine, 2011).  In many of these programs, a majority of the mentors are matched with a mentee who comes from a culture and community they know very little about. Many of the youth development programs that were founded and implemented by people of the perceived dominant culture represent their values and cultural experience. To look more deeply into this, my primary research included seven one-on-one interviews with experienced youth workers, most who currently work at a community or site-based mentoring program.  This article is a summary of their responses and reflections on the potential risks invovled in matching across culture and considers how we might work together to mitigate these risks for the youth we serve.

The Comprehension of English Relative Clauses by Arabic-Speaking EFL Learners
Authors: Khan Sofia Sabahat , Al-Namer Lubaba Abdul-Salam
Published: April 2017

This study investigates the extent to which 50 Arabic-speaking EFL learners comprehend English relative clauses (RCs). It also aims to test which relative pronoun among the seven pronouns we are investigating is the easiest to comprehend and which is the most problematic. Furthermore, it aims to measure whether the English proficiency level of the participants affects their performance on the test. Therefore, a multiple-choice test was administered in order to examine their comprehension of this complex syntactic structure.  The participants were asked to choose the correct answer out of four choices. The results demonstrate that Arabic-speaking EFL learners may not be fully aware of English relative clauses (total percentage= 48.5%). The t-test shows that the English proficiency level affected the participants’ performance on the test. Consequently, there is a significant difference between the answers of the advanced learners (ALs) (61.3%) and those of the intermediate learners (ILs) (35.6%). Moreover, the results reveal that the easiest relative pronoun to comprehend is the pronoun when, and the most difficult one is the pronoun whom. This study accounts for these difficulties and concludes with pedagogical implications and recommendations for further research.

O Jesus Ariano. O imaginário e as concepções historiográficas do Jesus Histórico na Alemanha Nazista.
Authors: Chevitarese André Leonardo , Justi Daniel Brasil
Published: April 2017

Este trabalho pretende discutir que os teólogos alemães, comprometidos com a ideologia nazista, inclusive através do juramento de lealdade que fizeram ao Führer, não optaram pelo “silêncio virtual” nem demonstraram “um interesse limitado” pelo Jesus histórico. Muito pelo contrário, eles não apenas potencializaram o “retrato” de Jesus como sendo um ariano, como também o popularizaram, por meio de seus escritos, de suas homilias e de suas experiências cotidianas. Deve-se ter atenção aqui: a consolidação desse novo retrato é anterior ao advento de Hitler, como se pode ler em um vasto conjunto de obras, tais como, por exemplo, as de Ernst Renan, Theodor Keim e Houston Stewart Chamberlain. No entanto, é com a ascenção de Hitler ao poder que a leitura do Jesus ariano ganhou uma dimensão até então não imaginada, já que ela culmina na efetiva colaboração de um expressivo número de teólogos cristãos com a política assassina do Estado nazista, culminando no holocausto judaico.
