Jesus in Judea
Authors: Beutler Johannes
Published: August 2015

Jesus’ mission in Judea (Jn 3:22–36) finds little attention paid to the geographical setting of this mission. Connected with this lack of interest is the question regarding a ‘Jew’ with whom the disciples of John the Baptist are reported to be in controversy according to John 3:25. A look at the geographical structure of Jesus’ mission in John 2:13–4:54 may throw new light on these issues. Apparently, the mission of Jesus in this section of the Fourth Gospel follows a geographical scheme similar to the one outlined in Acts 1:8: the disciples are to be the witnesses of Jesus in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and until the end of the earth. Different from this outline, Jesus’ mission, according to John, leads him to Galilee. All God’s people are to hear his preaching and come to faith before the great controversies with the leaders of the Jewish people in John 5–10. If a mission of Jesus in Judea forms part of his mission to Israel, the Ἰουδαῖος of John 3:25 should be understood rather as a ‘Judean’.Jesus in Judea. Daar is tot onlangs nie veel aandag aan die geografiese agtergrond van Jesus se sending in Judea geskenk nie. Saam met hierdie gebrek aan belangstelling is die vraagstuk ten opsigte van die sogenaamde ‘Jood’ wat volgens Johannes 3:25 in ’n argument met die dissipels van Johannes die Doper betrokke was. ’n Blik op die geografiese agtergrond van Jesus se sending volgens Johannes 2:13–4:54 kan meer lig op hierdie kwessies werp. Jesus se sending, soos in die Vierde Evangelie beskryf, volg klaarblyklik dieselfde geografiese struktuur soos dit in Handelinge 1:8 voorkom: die dissipels sal Jesus se getuies in Jerusalem, die hele Judea en Samaria, en tot aan die uithoeke van die aarde wees. Volgens Johannes lei Jesus se sending Hom egter na Galilea waar al God se volgelinge na sy leringe luister en tot geloof kom voor die verskeie konfrontasies met die Joodse leiers sou plaasvind soos in Johannes 5–10 beskryf. Indien Jesus se sending in Judea deel vorm van sy sending in Israel, kan die Ἰουδαῖος, soos inJohannes 3:25 beskryf, eerder as ‘Judeër’ verstaan word.

Whilst lead poisoning in raptors, scavenging birds and waterfowl is well studied and common knowledge, there is surprisingly little literature detailing the risk to mammalian scavengers and captive carnivores fed hunted meat. This case report describes the death of two captive cheetahs (Acinonyx jubatus jubatus) following acute onset of nervous symptoms. Clinical signs included hyper-excitability, seizures, arched back, tail held abnormally high and hyper-salivation. Necropsy findings included bullets or a bullet in their stomachs. Kidney and liver lead levels from one cheetah (15.6 ppm and 17 ppm respectively) were consistent with a diagnosis of lead poisoning; liver from the second cheetah was not available for testing. Both animals were routinely fed hunted antelope or game birds. This is the first report of oral lead poisoning in captive large carnivores, although these are unlikely to be the first cases. Without awareness of the risks of feeding hunted game, lead exposure will continue to be an underdiagnosed reality in the rehabilitation of endangered carnivores.
Serum canine pancreatic-specific lipase concentrations in dogs with naturally occurring Babesia rossi infection
Authors: Köster Liza S. , Steiner Jörg M. , Suchodolski Jan S. , Schoeman Johan P.
Published: August 2015

Babesia rossi is the cause of a highly virulent multisystemic disease with a variable outcome, which is a reliable model of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). The objective of this study was to determine the concentration of canine pancreatic-specific lipase (cPL) in a population of dogs with naturally acquired B. rossi infection. In addition, the associations between serum cPL and death and SIRS status were examined. An observational study recruited 87 dogs diagnosed with B. rossi infection and serum cPL concentrations were measured daily until discharge or death. The median concentration of serum cPL was 124.0 µg/L (interquartile range: 51.0 µg/L – 475.5 µg/L) on admission (n = 87) and 145.5 µg/L (62.3 µg/L – 434.0 µg/L) on day two of hospitalisation (n = 40). Twenty-four dogs (28%) had a serum cPL concentration within the diagnostic range for pancreatitis ( 400 µg/L) at admission with 13 dogs (32.5%) presenting as such on the second day of hospitalisation. The median concentration of serum cPL in dogs with SIRS was 158 µg/L (interquartile range: 52.5 µg/L – 571.5 µg/L; n = 53), which was significantly higher than in those without SIRS (75 µg/L; 50.3 µg/L – 131.8 µg/L; n = 32) (P = 0.018). This study demonstrated that an unexpectedly high number of dogs diagnosed with naturally acquired canine babesiosis had a serum cPL concentration within the diagnostic range for acute pancreatitis and a significantly higher serum cPL concentration was found in dogs that were classified as having SIRS.
Spinal tumors: Trends from Northern India
Authors: Arora Rajnish , Kumar Raj
Published: August 2015

Introduction and Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 111 patients with spinal tumors operated over a period of 9 years to observe the relative frequency of different lesions, their clinical profile, functional outcome and prognostic factors. 30/111 (27%) were extradural, 40/111 (36.1%) were intradural extramedullary (IDEM) and 41/111 (36.9%) were intramedullary spinal cord tumors (IMSCTs). Mean age at surgery was 30.81 years (range 1-73 years). The average preoperative duration of symptoms was 16.17 months (15 days to 15 years). Major diagnoses were ependymomas and astrocytomas in IMSCT group, schwanommas and neurofibromas in IDEM group, and metastasis, lymphoma in extradural group. The common clinical features were motor weakness in 78/111 (70.27%), sensory loss in 55/111 (49.54%), pain 46/111 (41.44%), and sphincter involvement in 47/111 (42.43%) cases. Results: Totally, 88/111 (79.27%) patients had improvement in their functional status, 17/111 (15.31%) remained same, and 6/111 (5.4%) were worse at time of their last follow-up. The mean follow-up was 15.64 months (1.5 m−10 years). Totally, 59 out of 79 patients, who were dependent initially, were ambulatory with or without the aid. Most common complication was persistent pain in 10/111 (9%) patients and nonimprovement of bladder/bowel symptoms in 7/111 (6.3%). One patient died 3 months after surgery. Conclusions: (1) Congenital malformative tumors like epidermoids/dermoids (unrelated to spina bifida) occur more frequently, whereas the incidence of spinal meningioma is less in developing countries than western populations. (2) The incidence of intramedullary tumors approaches to that of IDEM tumors. Intramedullary tumors present at a younger age in developing countries. (3) Rare histological variants like primitive neuroectodermal tumors should also be considered for histological differential diagnosis of spinal tumors. (4) Preoperative neurologic status is the most important factor related to outcome in spinal tumors.
Treatment of arteriovenous malformation with high-flow fistula and bilateral transverse-sigmoid sinuses stenosis resulting diffuse cortical vein engorgement and symptoms resembling carotid-cavernous fistula

Published: August 2015

Patients harboring arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) may present with focal neurological deficit, seizures, hemorrhage or be completely asymptomatic. This diversity in manifestation of AVM is related to the individual characteristics of AVMs such as size, location, configuration of feeding arteries, and drainage veins. Treating the AVMs with high-flow fistula and downstream sinuses occlusion is challenging. The authors reported their experience of treating this kind of AVM. The high venous pressure caused diffuse cortical venous regurgitation and engorgement of left superior ophthalmic vein and symptoms resembling carotid-venous fistula. To avoid possible reflux of embolization materials to cortical veins and facilitate surgical treatment, the bilateral transverse sinuses were re-canalized first. The venous pressure was measured through left transverse sinus, and it decreased significantly from 50 mmHg to 20 mmHg after bilateral sinus stenting. The AVM was then embolized and excised uneventfully.
Giant hydatid cyst in the posterior fossa of a child

Published: August 2015

The hydatid cyst (HC) is endemic in Mediterranean region including Syria. The central nervous system is involved in 2-3% of cases. HC in cerebellum is very rare. We report a case that presented as an emergency for high intracranial pressure and deteriorating Glascow coma scale. Close monitoring and precise surgical management using Dowling's technique resulted in very good outcome with full recovery. We highlight the need for very careful surgical treatment because cyst rupture and secondary hydatidosis due to spillage of the cyst contents can dramatically worsen the outcome. HC should be taken into consideration in countries where hydatid infestation is endemic.
The unusual angiographic course of intracranial pseudoaneurysms
Authors: Zanaty Mario , Chalouhi Nohra , Jabbour Pascal , Starke Robert , Hasan David
Published: August 2015

Although rare, traumatic intracranial pseudoaneurysms remain one of the most difficult vascular lesions to diagnose and treat. A 55-year-old male patient underwent endoscopic endonasal transphenoidal resection for a pituitary macroadenoma. The operation was complicated by an arterial bleed. The initial angiogram revealed pseudoaneurysm of the anterior choroidal artery. Although the pseudoaneurysm completely disappeared on the second angiogram, it was surprisingly found to have enlarged on the third angiogram. The lesion was successfully treated with flow-diversion using a pipeline embolization device. The present case demonstrates that the natural history of iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms may be unpredictable and misleading. Traumatic pseudoaneurysms should, therefore, be carefully followed when conservative treatment is elected or when the lesion seems to have spontaneously regressed. Flow-diversion seems to be a reasonable treatment option.
Spinal neural fibrolipoma: A case report and review of the literature

Published: August 2015

Neural fibrolipoma is characterized by infiltration of the epineurium by adipose and fibrous tissue. Intradural spinal cases are extremely rare. We report an unusual case of spinal neural fibrolipoma. A 31-year-old pregnant woman presented due to weakness of right leg (muscle strength 2/5). Magnetic resonance (MR) evaluation of the spine revealed an extramedullary intradural mass at the T1-T4 level. MR findings were suggesting a dermoid cyst or a lipoma. Subtotal surgical excision of the tumor was done. Histopathological examination showed enlarged nerve bundles infiltrated by fibroadipose tissue. Thus, the diagnosis of neural fibrolipoma was established. One month after surgery, lumbar MR showed residual tumor tissue, but successful decompression of the spinal cord. Six months after surgery, the neurological examination, muscle strength 4/5 evaluated. Neural fibrolipoma is characterized by infiltration of the epineurium by adipose and fibrous tissue. The tissue grows between and around nerve bundles thereby causing enlargement of the affected nerve. Neural fibrolipoma is a benign lesion with no effective therapy. Surgical excision usually causes severe damage of the involved nerve. Although spinal cases are extremely rare, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of extramedullary intradural masses.
"Giant" terminal myelocystocele: A rare variant of spinal dysraphism
Authors: Bansal Sumit , Mahapatra Ashok
Published: August 2015

Terminal myelocystocele (TMC) is a rare form of spinal dysraphism. They constitute approximately 5% of skin covered lumbosacral masses. The TMC is composed of a low-lying conus medullaris with cystic dilatation of caudal central canal and a surrounding meningocele that extends from the conus to the skin. A 2-year-old female child presented with a large lumbosacral mass and weakness of both lower limbs since birth. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a giant TMC. The child was operated on successfully. This is an interesting and rare case of "giant" TMC with partial sacral agenesis.
O elefante na sala de aula: usos de sites nos livros didáticos de História do PNLD 2012
Authors: Delgado Andréa Ferreira , Maynard Dilton
Published: August 2015

O artigo propõe a análise dos usos da internet nas coleções da área de História aprovadas pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) 2012, que avaliou livros destinados ao Ensino Médio. Discutem-se os significados da web na sociedade contemporânea, especialmente a imersão cotidiana dos jovens no ciberespaço, e a emergência de novos desafios para o historiador e para o professor de História. Torna-se necessário investigar as novas relações com o passado e com o presente impostas pela produção, a conservação e o acesso de fontes históricas por meio da internet. Da mesma forma, as transformações no processo de aprendizagem pelo uso das tecnologias digitais devem constituir objeto das pesquisas em educação. Antes disso, entretanto, o “elefante está na sala de aula” por meio dos livros didáticos que incorporam, de diferentes formas, as páginas eletrônicas. Compreende-se, portanto, a importância da avaliação dos usos da internet no Livro do Aluno e no Manual do Professor. Para tanto, apresenta-se a metodologia de avaliação desenvolvida no PNLD 2012 e discutem-se os resultados da análise das coleções aprovadas. Traça-se um panorama das coleções, considerando os aspectos quantitativos – número de sites – quanto os qualitativos, referentes à acessibilidade, tipo de linguagem, interatividade, apresentação de referências nas imagens e fontes utilizadas nos endereços eletrônicos indicados. Privilegia-se, contudo, a problematização dos agenciamentos da internet e as orientações fornecidas ao professor por meio do Manual do Professor. Pretende-se, assim, colaborar na reflexão teórica e metodológica necessária para explorar as potencialidades da internet como ferramenta no ensino e na aprendizagem da História.

Authors: Ramos Cinthia Leticia , Faria José Henrique de
Published: August 2015

Sendo as organizações permeadas por relações complexas e contraditórias desencadeadas por mecanismos de poder, ideologia e controle, interessa analisar no presente artigo de que forma estas relações se manifestam no discurso de Gestão por Competência, mediante análise crítica do modelo corporativo implantado em uma Indústria Multinacional, aqui denominada Indústria ALFA, a partir de duas categorias de Análise: Poder e Ideologia. As fontes dos dados empíricos são os documentos institucionais da Indústria ALFA que definem e orientam os procedimentos da Gestão por Competência. A técnica de coleta e análise dos dados será a Análise de Conteúdo segundo a proposta de Bardin e Franco. O enfoque que orienta o problema de pesquisa se dará em torno do sujeito coletivo e sua relação estabelecida com o conjunto de regras e comportamentos ideológicos impostos pela organização o qual se materializa através da submissão, da alienação e da servidão voluntária nas organizações. A base conceitual que dará suporte para sustentação desta investigação levará em consideração uma concepção teórica crítica das formas de poder e controle nas organizações concretas.
A integração da América Latina na educação bolivariana da Venezuela: concreticidade e formação a partir do sul
Authors: Villetti Zuck Débora , Guimarães Nogueira Francis Mary
Published: August 2015

O “espectro” da integração latino-americana ronda o continente e nossa inquietação moveu-se pelo desenrolar revelador que adquire na educação bolivariana da Venezuela, de 1999 a 2009. Dessa forma, este artigo propõe-se a identificar e analisar a categoria integração da América Latina expressa nos documentos oficiais e na base legal educacional venezuelana. A integração, concebida como cooperação, solidariedade e complementaridade, tem sido um instrumento importante na luta anti-imperialista, anticapitalista e, num mundo pluripolar, almejado pelo país. Compartilha-se o entendimento de que a educação não tem caráter autônomo nem hegemônico diante das relações sociais em que está “mergulhada”. Logo, expressa a categoria analítica nas orientações filosóficas do currículo, no caráter das Escolas Bolivarianas, nos objetivos e conteúdos do Liceu, na definição de Estado Docente e como uma das finalidades na LOE/2009, daí o interesse em perseguir sua concreticidade, pois orienta a formação do “homem novo” venezuelano e a construção do Socialismo do Século XXI.
Os desafios teórico-metodológicos do Ensino de Sociologia no Ensino Médio
Authors: Oliveira Amurabi
Published: August 2015

Com o processo de reintrodução da Sociologia na Educação Básica em 2008, muito tem se debatido sobre o Ensino desta ciência nas escolas. No entanto, devido à própriaausência de uma tradição da Sociologia no currículo escolar, a discussão ainda é incipiente e restrita a uma pequena comunidade de pesquisadores. Uma das questões relevantes que emergem ante a esse novo cenário é sobre quais os desafios para a prática docente do professor de Sociologia, nesse sentido, visa-se contribuir para essa discussão por meio de uma re# exão articulada em dois níveis: o primeiro remete aos desafios teóricos, o segundo aos desa! os metodológicos do Ensino de Sociologia. Para tanto, recorre-se principalmente à obra de Giddens para compreender a relação entre o conhecimento sociológico e o senso comum, questão, que em nosso entender, mostra-se de suma relevância para o Ensino da Sociologia na realidade escolar. Neste trabalho chama-se a atenção para o fato de que a proximidade com o senso comum abre um campo de possibilidades, mas também se constitui como um desa! o para o docente, considerando a “dupla hermenêutica” da Sociologia, o que se apresenta tanto no nívelteórico quanto metodológico.
Reconstruindo a cultura em cooperação mediado pela pedagogia para a infância do Movimento da Escola Moderna portuguesa
Authors: Folque Maria Assunção
Published: August 2015

Neste artigo procurou-se contribuir para repensar o papel da escola infantil e do educador na sua relação com as crianças e com a sociedade recorrendo às teoria histórico-cultural e da atividade. Convocou-se o conceito de reconstrução cooperada da cultura, uma das finalidades do Movimento da Escola Moderna portuguesa, procurando explicitar e analisar o seu modelo pedagógico na educação de infância. Baseando-nos em pesquisas levadas a cabo quer por académicos, quer por educadores no seio deste movimento de professores, colocou-se o enfoque em elementos centrais desta pedagogia. Estes elementos, refletidos à luz do referencial teórico referido, procuram contribuir para aproximar a escola da cultura, compreendendo as instituições para a infância como espaço de revitalização cultural e social, onde o currículo decorre de uma gestão cooperada e os circuitos de comunicação revitalizam o encontro humano numa construção mútua de significados e de aprendizagens. A análise dos dados empíricos permite igualmente aprontar caminhos ainda por percorrer no sentido deuma resignificação das práticas educativas institucionais na infância.
A pedigree-based analysis of mitochondrial DNA diversity in a dog population on the example of German Hovawarts
Authors: Zielińska S. , Głażewska I.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. The purpose of the article is to illustrate the use of pedigree analysis to evaluate mtDNA diversity in a selected population of pedigree dogs, to describe the paths of mtDNA inheritance and to estimate the spread of potential pedigree errors or mutations that occurred in different generations of ancestors. Hovawart, old German breed, was used as an example. The number and frequencies of mtDNA haplotypes were calculated based on numbers of dam lines and their representatives. The scale of potential errors in calculations that can result from pedigree errors or from new mutations in ancestors from the 5th or 10th ancestral generation was evaluated. The analysis included 368 breeding bitches from four German kennel organizations. The bitches represented three dam lines, with the Ho1, Ho2 and HoU mtDNA haplotypes. Significant differences in the frequency of the haplotypes in the population, from 0.27 to 73.37 %, and among kennel organizations and regions of the country were recorded. Considerable differences in the scale of potential errors in calculations arising from mtDNA mutations or pedigree errors were noted between 0.27 and 28.69 %, depending on the number of representatives of the subline in which the error appeared and the generation taken into account in the simulations. The study revealed an interesting paradox: although the differences between the haplotypes are the result of events (mutations) from thousands of years ago, the number and the frequencies of the haplotypes in the population are the result of the modern history of the population and current breeding policy.
Natural variability in the surface ocean carbonate ion concentration
Authors: Lovenduski N. S. , Long M. C. , Lindsay K.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. We investigate variability in the surface ocean carbonate ion concentration ([CO32−]) on the basis of a long control simulation with a fully-coupled Earth System Model. The simulation is run with a prescribed, pre-industrial atmospheric CO2 concentration for 1000 years, permitting investigation of natural [CO32−] variability on interannual to multi-decadal timescales. We find high interannual variability in surface [CO32−] in the tropical Pacific and at the boundaries between the subtropical and subpolar gyres in the Northern Hemisphere, and relatively low interannual variability in the centers of the subtropical gyres and in the Southern Ocean. Statistical analysis of modeled [CO32−] variance and autocorrelation suggests that significant anthropogenic trends in the saturation state of aragonite (Ωaragonite) are already or nearly detectable at the sustained, open-ocean timeseries sites, whereas several decades of observations are required to detect anthropogenic trends in Ωaragonite in the tropical Pacific, North Pacific, and North Atlantic. The detection timescale for anthropogenic trends in pH is shorter than that for Ωaragonite, due to smaller noise-to-signal ratios and lower autocorrelation in pH. In the tropical Pacific, the leading mode of surface [CO32−] variability is primarily driven by variations in the vertical advection of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) in association with El Niño–Southern Oscillation. In the North Pacific, surface [CO32−] variability is caused by circulation-driven variations in surface DIC and strongly correlated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, with peak spectral power at 20–30 year periods. North Atlantic [CO32−] variability is also driven by variations in surface DIC, and exhibits weak correlations with both the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation. As the scientific community seeks to detect the anthropogenic influence on ocean carbonate chemistry, these results will aid the interpretation of trends calculated from spatially- and temporally-sparse observations.
Implementation of the Community Earth System Model (CESM1, version 1.2.1) as a new basemodel into version 2.50 of the MESSy framework
Authors: Baumgaertner A. J. G. , Jöckel P. , Kerkweg A. , Sander R. , Tost H.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. The Community Earth System Model (CESM1), maintained by the United States National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) is connected with the Modular Earth Submodel System (MESSy). For the MESSy user community, this offers many new possibilities. The option to use the CESM1(CAM) atmospheric dynamical cores, especially the spectral element (SE) core, as an alternative to the ECHAM5 spectral transform dynamical core will provide scientific and computational advances for atmospheric chemistry and climate modelling with MESSy. The SE dynamical core does not require polar filters since the grid is quasi-uniform. By advecting the surface pressure rather then the logarithm of surface pressure the SE core locally conserves energy and mass. Furthermore, it has the possibility to scale to up to 105 compute cores, which is useful for current and future computing architectures. The well-established finite volume core from CESM1(CAM) is also made available. This offers the possibility to compare three different atmospheric dynamical cores within MESSy. Additionally, the CESM1 land, river, sea ice, glaciers and ocean component models can be used in CESM1/MESSy simulations, allowing to use MESSy as a comprehensive Earth System Model. For CESM1/MESSy setups, the MESSy process and diagnostic submodels for atmospheric physics and chemistry are used together with one of the CESM1(CAM) dynamical cores; the generic (infrastructure) submodels support the atmospheric model component. The other CESM1 component models as well as the coupling between them use the original CESM1 infrastructure code and libraries, although in future developments these can also be replaced by the MESSy framework. Here, we describe the structure and capabilities of CESM1/MESSy, document the code changes in CESM1 and MESSy, and introduce several simulations as example applications of the system. The Supplements provide further comparisons with the ECHAM5/MESSy atmospheric chemistry (EMAC) model and document the technical aspects of the connection in detail.
3D Visualization of Cultural Heritage Artefacts with Virtual Reality devices

Published: August 2015

Abstract. Although 3D models are useful to preserve the information about historical artefacts, the potential of these digital contents are not fully accomplished until they are not used to interactively communicate their significance to non-specialists. Starting from this consideration, a new way to provide museum visitors with more information was investigated. The research is aimed at valorising and making more accessible the Egyptian funeral objects exhibited in the Sforza Castle in Milan. The results of the research will be used for the renewal of the current exhibition, at the Archaeological Museum in Milan, by making it more attractive. A 3D virtual interactive scenario regarding the “path of the dead”, an important ritual in ancient Egypt, was realized to augment the experience and the comprehension of the public through interactivity. Four important artefacts were considered for this scope: two ushabty, a wooden sarcophagus and a heart scarab. The scenario was realized by integrating low-cost Virtual Reality technologies, as the Oculus Rift DK2 and the Leap Motion controller, and implementing a specific software by using Unity. The 3D models were implemented by adding responsive points of interest in relation to important symbols or features of the artefact. This allows highlighting single parts of the artefact in order to better identify the hieroglyphs and provide their translation. The paper describes the process for optimizing the 3D models, the implementation of the interactive scenario and the results of some test that have been carried out in the lab.
Historic photos and TLS data fusion for the 3D reconstruction of a monastery altar ensemble
Authors: Hanke K. , Moser M. , Rampold R.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. The basis of the photogrammetric reconstruction of the altar at the monastery / church are 2 historic photos from around 1920’s as well as a 3D documentation of the church from terrestrial laser scanning. The point cloud from the laser scan was the starting point for an approximate computation of the interior and exterior orientation of that image that also contains parts of the altar area that still do exist. Using a projection of the recent geometry into the image allowed the analysis of changes of the altar ensemble since the time of image acquisition. Those parts that are still in situ are the origin for further action. Whether fragments and parts should be used further or newly positioned was decided in the next phase of reconstruction process. The focus of the first step of the workflow was at the outlines of the parts in the center of the altar. Using a monoplotting approach and assuming that the profiles are vertical and parallel to each other these object could be definitely compiled. Theses outlines also allowed an approximate determination of the interior and exterior orientation of the second historic photograph in which otherwise the complete connection to the recent altar area was missing. The side parts of the altar showed to be more complicated for reconstruction. The difference in depth of the varying edges could not be distinguished any more in the images. Such, the sequence and form of the different edges was adopted, scaled and transferred from the central part of the altar to the peripheral ones. Using this geometric information it was possible to define the necessary projection planes for the monoplotting restitution of the visible outlines. A concluding rigorous control was accomplished by back projection of the geometry into both historical images.

Published: August 2015

Abstract. Ancient architecture is an important cultural symbol of a nation, which has high historical, artistic and technology of cultural value. A building not only carries the creator of effort, but also the past with the future of the historical traditions and humanistic significance. It is not purely construction of artistic expression, even more the witness of the production and development of social groups. Therefore, it is not only the common cultural heritage of mankind, as more equally important to protect these ancient buildings for the promotion of spiritual civilization and local economic development. In recent years, China and other developing countries, which in the pursuit of rapid economic development, are also facing the problems of development and preservation, Especially influenced by the inherent "reform and innovation" traditional concepts, many ancient villages and buildings with rich cultural connotation are in a great danger. Xiang'an is one of the six administrative regions of Xiamen, The Tungyuan village and numerous surrounding villages which in Xiang'an retain a large number of ancient buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties, but it has not been given due attention, many ancient buildings are facing the crisis of disappearing. Changs ancient residential is one of typical Minnan architectural which located in Tungyuan village. its main feature is as follows: Cheng is before the rear is Cuo, Facing south, Three bays with double Hucuo , Red brick and White stone wall, Architectural form of Hard mountain type roof and Double cocked dovetail ridge.

Cultural Consumption of the Overseas Chinese Garden in the Process of Cross-cultural Communication
Authors: Zhai L.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. When referring to the tangible cultural heritage, people tend to concern more about the conservation and research of the entity of the tangible heritage than the cross-cultural communication of the cultural heritage which is also one of the most important components of the preservation of the cultural heritage. As an exotic new born of the cultural heritage, the entity born from the cross-cultural communication inherits the properties of the cultural heritage on the one hand, and on the other hand generates diversities as a result of the differences based on social, cultural and environment. And the business model is one of the most important reasons for the production of diversities. There’s no doubt that a good form of business model makes great significance to the cross-cultural communication. Therefore, the study of the business model of cultural heritage in the process of cross-cultural communication will not only contributes to the deeper understanding towards the phenomenon of the cultural heritage’s cross-cultural communication, but also leads to the introspection to the tangible cultural heritage itself. In this way, a new kind of conservative notion could take form, and the goal of protecting cultural heritage could be achieved. Thus the Chinese Garden is a typical representation of the cultural heritage which makes great sense in the cross-cultural communication. As a kind of tangible cultural heritage, the Chinese gardens are well preserved in different regions in China. While the spirits of the Chinese garden carry forward through the construction of the Chinese gardens abroad during the cross-cultural communication. As a new kind of form of the cross-cultural communication of the cultural heritage, on the one hand, the Chinese gardens overseas built ever since China's Reform and Opening express creatively of the materialist and the spirituality of the traditional Chinese Garden, and on the other hand, those Chinese gardens overseas face all kinds of tough issued such as investment, business model and management. The exploration of the reasons for these tough issues makes a great sense of the study towards the cross-cultural communication and preservation of the cultural heritage. In this paper, the development of the whole overseas gardens and the cultural consumption of the Chinese gardens in Europe is generalized, then two typical cases are selected from those two categories mentioned above. By way of field study and interviews, it shows different strategies towards cultural consumption and provides constructive advice for the survival and development of overseas Chinese gardens.
Development of Network-type Archaeological Investigation System

Published: August 2015

Abstract. The Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011 is said to be a once-in-1000-year catastrophic quake. The Tsunami triggered by the earthquake destroyed broad coastal areas in northeast Japan. As recovery from the earthquake proceeds, the demand for new road construction, housing hill development, and residential construction is rapidly increasing. Culture plays a critical role in the district’s recovery. For that reason, before development, cultural properties in the corresponding districts must be urgently investigated. This is a must, although balancing cultural recovery with rapid economic recovery is no easy task. With this in mind, we have developed a new system focusing on speedy archaeological investigation and adequate documentation. The authors reexamined the existing investigation process to categorize tasks into two types: those that must be done only at archaeological sites (site A) and ones available at other places (site B). We then formulated a scheme where the tasks on both sites are performed simultaneously in parallel over the network. Experiments are ongoing. This presentation reports the process and issues of our research and development.
From the working group "Experimental Pathology" to the department "Pathology Unit" – historical development in retrospect
Authors: Kaup F.-J.
Published: August 2015

Abstract. The Pathology Unit of the German Primate Center started as the working group of Experimental Pathology in 1992. This small group with one veterinary pathologist and a technician was founded based on an idea of Prof. Dr. Kuhn, who wanted to strengthen the pathology research activities and to establish a centralized electron microscopy laboratory. Later on, experimental pathology, veterinary services and primate husbandry were integrated as the Department of Veterinary Medicine and Primate Husbandry but subsequently again separated. Prof. Dr. Franz-Josef Kaup, the head of the previously integrated department, remained in his capacity as the leader of the different units. Over the years, the research activities have changed from SIV-associated pathology to other infectious diseases. Today, the main research focus is on the pathogenesis of orthopoxvirus infection, primate pathology, neglected tropical diseases and nonhuman primates as models for chronic respiratory diseases. This paper gives an overview of the historical development and aspects of research activities.

The required free chlorine C × T (concentration times time) value for 5‐log virus inactivation was measured at a full‐scale water recycling plant through a suite of tracer, chlorine decay, and virusseeding tests on a baffled‐channel chlorine contactor. This plant produces fully nitrified, low‐turbidity filtered effluent. MS2 bacteriophage virus was seeded into the contactor at 106 pfu/mL, and inactivation of this virus, along with native coliform, were measured. A consistent MS2 inactivation rate >0.28 log‐L/mg‐min was observed for three different flows, consistent with other benchand pilot‐scale studies. At C × T values >22 mg‐min/L, the facility complied with California recycled water disinfection requirements by achieving >5.6‐log inactivation of MS2 and reducing 104 cfu/100 mL influent total coliform to <2.2 cfu/100 mL in the effluent. These results showed how complete nitrification and effective suspendedsolids removal allowed a full‐scale plant to realize favorable disinfection kinetics with free chlorine.
L’Esquive de Kechiche : de Shakespeare à Marivaux, analyse d’une adaptation cinématographique protéiforme
Authors: Sorin Cécile
Published: August 2015

L’Esquive, un film d’Abdellatif Kechiche, se construit à partir d’emprunts au théâtre. De nature et de modalité diverses, ceux-ci nécessitent la prise en compte des différentes occurrences et des procédés de transformation de textes premiers. Hamlet offre au réalisateur un modèle réflexif ainsi qu’un cadre culturel de valorisation des dialogues. Le Jeu de l’amour et du hasard de Marivaux est adapté et transposé dans un contexte radicalement différent. Cela suscite la mise en place de procédés de transposition diachroniques et synchroniques ainsi que des choix de mise en scène cloisonnant espace théâtral et cadre cinématographique. Appuyée sur les distinctions terminologiques opérées par Gérard Genette et Linda Hutcheon, l’analyse de L’Esquive permet de mettre en valeur la synergie liant le film aux textes premiers de même que le processus de création relatif à son interaction avec le spectateur.
Medium, figure : deux mots pour une conversation sur l’adaptation
Authors: Prince Éric
Published: August 2015

L’adaptation du théâtre au cinéma, tout comme celle qui opère entre n’importe quelsmedia, a souvent été étudiée sous l’angle de la matérialité propre à chaque moyen d’expression, à la lumière des limitations qu’implique cette dernière. Or, cet article emprunte une voie différente et propose une conception figurale dumediuminspirée du pragmatisme peircéen. Comment, aujourd’hui, poser la question « qu’est-ce que le cinéma ? ». Dans ce texte, nous aborderons d’abord les difficultés que soulève une telle interrogation, après quoi nous élaborerons une définition dumedium. Puis, nous exemplifierons sa contribution à l’épistémologie des études cinématographiques en nous penchant sur la comédie romantique américaine, genre des plus significatifs pour l’histoire du cinéma, qui continue la tradition théâtrale tout en rompant avec elle. Nous conclurons par un examen deNô, un film de Robert Lepage, adapté d’une pièce du même auteur.
Dogville : un récit en adaptation
Authors: Roy Lucie
Published: August 2015

Le film Dogville de Lars von Trier met à nu les grands enjeux de l’adaptation, à commencer sans doute par la notion d’adaptabilité des supports théâtraux et filmiques. Une vocation littéraire s’y exprime au surplus, par l’intervention d’une voix off qui participe de l’identité des personnages et qui explique la composition de l’intrigue. Cette voix invite à réfléchir sur la couture scénaristique qui tend à prendre ensemble les diverses matérialités du film. Présentant, tout au long, un univers fictif, Dogville se conclut par un retour à une réalité documentaire qui renforce le sens de l’oeuvre. Voilà chacune des propositions qui émailleront l’argumentation de notre article et qui y tiendront, de fait, lieu de parcours.
Souvenir et désir infantile. L’autobiographie à la manière du récit de rêve chez Salvador Dalí
Authors: Jacob Carmélie
Published: August 2015

Il n’y a pas que les tableaux, chez Dalí, qui se teintent d’onirisme : son autobiographie, qui tient principalement dans La Vie secrète de Salvador Dalí (1942) et le Journal d’un génie (1964), laisse transparaître du début à la fin une logique du rêve, où s’entrecroisent l’absurde et l’habituel. C’est sur cette construction que nous souhaitons nous pencher, afin d’y repérer les traces du souvenir et du désir, premières assises du rêve. Nous montrerons ainsi quels liens se tissent entre rêves et remémoration dans l’écriture du peintre, comment Gala Dalí agit en tant que figure onirique, et enfin, en quoi la prémonition vient influencer les fantasmes mégalomanes et mystiques daliniens.
Longitudinal analysis of Plasmodium sporozoite motility in the dermis reveals component of blood vessel recognition

Malaria infection starts with injection of Plasmodium sporozoites by an Anopheles mosquito into the skin of the mammalian host. How sporozoites locate and enter a blood vessel is a critical, but poorly understood process. In this study, we examine sporozoite motility and their interaction with dermal blood vessels, using intravital microscopy in mice. Our data suggest that sporozoites exhibit two types of motility: in regions far from blood vessels, they exhibit ‘avascular motility’, defined by high speed and less confinement, while in the vicinity of blood vessels their motility is more constrained. We find that curvature of sporozoite tracks engaging with vasculature optimizes contact with dermal capillaries. Imaging of sporozoites with mutations in key adhesive proteins highlight the importance of the sporozoite's gliding speed and its ability to modulate adhesive properties for successful exit from the inoculation site.

Published: August 2015

Objective: Most studies on spinal manipulation learning demonstrate the relevance of including motor learning strategies in chiropractic curricula. Two outcomes of practice are the production of movement in an efficient manner and the improved capability of learners to evaluate their own motor performance. The goals of this study were to evaluate if expertise is associated with increased spinal manipulation proficiency and if error detection skills of force application during a high-velocity low-amplitude spinal manipulation are related to expertise.

Methods: Three groups of students and 1 group of expert chiropractors completed 10 thoracic spine manipulations on an instrumented device with the specific goal of reaching a maximum peak force of 300 N after a brief period of practice. After each trial, participants were asked to give an estimate of their maximal peak force. Force-time profiles were analyzed to determine the biomechanical parameters of each participant and the participant's capacity to estimate his or her own performance.

Results: Significant between-group differences were found for each biomechanical parameter. No significant difference was found between groups for the error detection variables (p > .05). The lack of significant effects related to the error detection capabilities with expertise could be related to the specificity of the task and how the training process was structured.

Conclusion: This study confirms that improvements in biomechanical parameters of spinal manipulation are related to expertise. Feedback based on error detection could be implemented in chiropractic curricula to improve trainee abilities in detecting motor execution errors.
First satellite imaging of auroral pulsations by the Fast Auroral Imager on e‐POP

Published: August 2015

We report the first satellite imaging of auroral pulsations by the Fast Auroral Imager (FAI) on board the Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e‐POP) satellite. The near‐infrared camera of FAI is capable of providing up to two auroral images per second, ideal for investigation of pulsating auroras. The auroral pulsations were observed within the auroral bulge formed during a substorm interval on 19 February 2014. This first satellite view of these pulsations from FAI reveals that (1) several pulsating auroral channels (PACs) occur within the auroral bulge, (2) periods of the intensity pulsations span over one decade within the auroral bulge, and (3) there is no apparent trend of longer pulsation periods associated with higher latitudes for these PACs. Although PACs resemble in some respect stable pulsating auroras reported previously, they have several important differences in characteristics.
