Dos espaços de identidade aos espaços de visibilidade
Authors: Simão Mário Pires
Published: May 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar movimentos de visibilidade de jovens de origem popular, residentes em favelas cariocas a partir do seu espaço vivido. Parte-se da argumentação que estes têm construído estratégias para enfrentar a invisibilidade política, corpórea e conceitual que historicamente condicionam suas vidas. Discutimos as conseqüências do ordenamento moderno para a noção de juventude. Há uma cronobiologia que sustenta a construção de tipologias com o objetivo de homogeneizar estes sujeitos. Contudo, a juventude é uma categoria em disputa política. Assinala-se a invisibilidade de jovens oriundos de determinadas favelas da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, destacando-se que existem diferentes modos de ser e estar jovem e, especialmente estes jovens têm suas vidas marcadas pela desigualdade e pela distinção territorial de direitos.  Em busca da visibilidade destes sujeitos, construímos uma análise sobre estes no espaço da vida, reunindo informações sobre trajetórias de vida e práticas culturais a partir de entrevistas e grupos focais com jovens situados entre 15 e 29 anos moradores de favelas cariocas. Ao final apontamos alguns movimentos de visibilização destes jovens, tais como: as novas representações estéticas que fazem de si e do espaço da favela em que vivem e as estratégias de comunicação e de construção de redes a partir das ferramentas da tecnologia digital.

RuO4-mediated oxidation of secondary amines 2. imines as main reaction intermediates
Authors: Florea Cristina , Hîrtopeanu Anca , Stavarache Cristina , Petride Horia
Published: May 2017

Oxidation by RuO4 (generated in situ from RuO2 and NaIO4) of secondary amines such as Bn?NH?CH2R (1; R=H, Me) gave complex reaction mixtures, but mainly amides. In the presence of cyanide, the leading products were ?-aminonitriles. Comparison of the oxidation products of 1 with those from the corresponding imines PhCH=N?CH2R and Bn?N=CH?R showed that formation of the indicated imines is the first main step in the oxidation of 1. A detailed mechanism is proposed.

The FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra of 4-[(4-acetylphenyl)amino]-2- -methylidene-4-oxobutanoic acid were recorded. The vibrational wave numbers were computed by DFT quantum chemical calculations and the vibrational assignments were realized using the potential energy distribution. The theoretically predicted geometrical parameters were in agreement with the XRD data. Determination and visualization of molecule sites prone to electrophilic attacks were performed by mapping the average local ionization energies (ALIE) to the electron density surface. Furthermore, determination of possible reactive centres of title molecule was realized by calculation of the Fukui functions. Intramolecular non-covalent interactions were also determined and visualized. In addition, prediction of molecule sites possibly prone to autoxidation was performed by calculation of the bond dissociation energies (BDE), while the stability of the title molecule in water was assessed by calculation of radial distribution functions (RDF) obtained after molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The docked title ligand compound forms a stable complex with insulin receptor kinase and gives a binding affinity of ?10.2 kcal* mol-1.

Published: May 2017

Backrgound/Aim. Researchers in the field of dentistry have been conducting research into modelling and defining dental arches equitations. Nowadays, when 3D digital modelling is commonly utilized in dentistry, the approach to modelling, analysis and synthesis has changed. Clinical researches are related to aesthetic and functional analysis. The aim of this study was to increase repeatability and accuracy of defining and determining the coordinate system of the jaw as well as to defining mathematical criteria for monitoring and evaluating orthodontic treatment. Methods. In this study, we used the plaster models of the jaw, optical scanner with structured light, 3D digital models, computer aided design (CAD) engineering tools adjusting the coordinate system, spline fitting of 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th degrees. Results. Splines of 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th degrees were fitted from the initial state (K0) in all 10 successive controls (K1, K2, K3,?, K10). All splines were fitted through 12 points, from the right to the left side of the jaw: 6-5-4-3-2-1-1-2-3-4-5-6. Tabular and graphic presentations of the maximum and average deviation of dental arch fitting curves in successive controls were given. Conclusion. The parameters of the maximum and average errors of fitting curves converge the dental arch values that are lower than the accuracy of the used optical scanners. The average error of fitting provides a general picture of the entire dental arch at each stage of treatment. Maximum error fitting points at a specified tooth where the largest deviation.

Laser hemorrhoidoplasty versus Milligan-Morgan hemorrhoidectomy - short term outcome
Authors: Maloku Halit , Lazovic Ranko , Terziqi Hasime
Published: May 2017

Background/Aim. According to the ?vascular? theory, arterial inflow into the upper hemorrhoidal artery leads to venous dilatation of the hemorrhoidal plexus. Laser hemorrhoidoplasty (LHP) is a new treatment applied to outpatients in whom the hemorrhoid arterial blood flow is coagulated (nourishes by hemorrhoidal plexus) by laser. The aim of this study was to compare two groups of patients treated by two different methods: by laser (LHP) and with open surgical procedure ? the Milligan Morgan (MM) method. Methods. This study included 200 patients with grade 3 hemorrhoidal disease older than 18 years, divided into two groups: 100 patients treated with the LHP, while the other 100 patients with the MM hemorrhoidectomy. Parameters used to compare two applied surgical methods were: duration of hospitalization, postoperative pain, the presence of bleeding and time needed to return to normal life. Results. The results reveal a statistically significant difference between these two methods. The level of postoperative pain was lower in the group of patients treated with the LHP compared to the group of patients treated with the MM method (p < 0.0001). The group treated with the LHP manifested less bleeding in comparison with the group treated with the open surgical method (MM). Length of hospitalization and duration of surgery were significantly shorter in the group treated with the LHP method than in the group treated by the MM method. Conclusion. According to our results, it is clear that the LHP method has many advantages over the MM hemorrhoidectomy in patients with grade 3 hemorrhoidal disease.
PCAOB Inspection Reports and Shareholder Ratification of the Auditor
Authors: Son Myungsoo , Song Hakjoon , Park Youngkyun
Published: May 2017

We examine the effect of unfavorable PCAOB inspection reports, which contain audit deficiencies related to GAAS and/or GAAP violations, on shareholder voting for the auditor ratification. We further investigate whether shareholders likely vote against ratification for the auditors receiving deficiency reports in a weak corporate governance environment. Overall, we do not find evidence that shareholders vote against auditor ratifications when their auditors receive unfavorable inspection reports. However, we find some evidence that shareholders cast their votes against the ratifications of auditors receiving unfavorable inspection reports when the corporate governance is weak, as proxied by CEO duality and a low level of board diligence. Our results suggest that shareholders seem not to incorporate inspection reports as a potential proxy for auditor quality in their vote decisions on auditor ratification.

The Effect of CEO IT Expertise on the Information Environment: Evidence from Earnings Forecasts and Announcements
Authors: Haislip Jacob Z. , Richardson Vernon J.
Published: May 2017

Firms depend on information technology to provide high-quality internal information, but prior research suggests that IT is underutilized. Prior research suggests that when CEOs have experience with IT, then IT is more likely to be accepted throughout their firms. We take these arguments a step further by asserting that CEOs with IT expertise are more likely to encourage the utilization of IT throughout the firm, thus improving the information environment that is revealed through numerous outputs of the firm. We first investigate whether firms that employ CEOs with IT expertise make forecasts that are more accurate, even if they already use an enterprise system (Dorantes, Li, Peters, and Richardson 2013). Overall, we find that CEOs with IT expertise do make forecasts that are more accurate. We also find that firms with IT-expertise CEOs announce earnings on a timelier basis than firms with non-IT-expertise CEOs.

Two-dimensional laser-induced thermal ablation modeling with integrated melt flow and vapor dynamics
Authors: Sawyer Carolyn , Iyer Kaushik , Zhu Xun , Kelly Michael , Luke Darren , Amdahl David
Published: May 2017

A new detailed, physics-based computational framework for the direct prediction of material ablation under nanosecond pulsed laser irradiation is presented. The framework, named directed energy illumination and visualization (DEIVI), integrates two-dimensional (axisymmetric) models for the following physical processes within a single framework for the first time: (i) coupling of the laser irradiation with the solid, (ii) transient heat conduction in the condensed (solid and melt) phases including melt front tracking, (iii) flow of the melt layer under the action of recoil pressure, (iv) vaporization of the melt and development of recoil pressure, and (v) dynamics of the vapor/gas. The solution for transient heat conduction and melt interface tracking using the enthalpy method is similar to the development by Ho et al. [J. Appl. Phys. 78, 4696–4709 (1995)]; however, they did not model the flow of the melt layer and modeled one-dimensional heat flow in the solid. To model the melt flow, DEIVI solves the incompressible, viscous Navier–Stokes equations that include a pressure correction solver, treatment of spatial derivatives using upwind or hybrid schemes, and a staggered grid. The compressive interface capturing scheme for arbitrary mesh volume of fluid method [O. Ubbink, Ph.D. thesis, University of London (1997)] is implemented for tracking the melt/vapor interfaces. The recoil pressure is applied by setting a fixed-pressure boundary condition in grid cells located at the melt-vapor interface. Surface tension is also included in order to ensure realistic surface morphology behavior at the melt-vapor interface. The vaporization process is treated using a quasiequilibrium convection-dominated approach combined with Knudsen-type jump conditions [S. I. Anisimov, Sov. Phys. JETP 27, 182–183 (1968) and C. J. Knight, AIAA J. 17, 519–523 (1979)] to obtain the input conditions for solving the two-dimensional (axisymmetric) gasdynamics equations for the vapor. An operator splitting procedure is used to solve the Euler equations using a Lax–Wendroff or Colella and Woodward [J. Comput. Phys. 54, 174–201 (1984).] piecewise parabolic scheme. This paper presents key aspects of the integrated framework as well as verification analyses performed to ensure the accuracy of individual modules.
Niemiecka polityka socjalna a kryzys migracyjny
Authors: Zygadlewicz Maciej
Published: May 2017

Motywacja: Europejski kryzys migracyjny jest obecnie jednym z głównych problemów społeczno-politycznych Europy. Wojny domowe, które rozpoczęły się w Syrii i Libii w 2011 roku, spowodowały napływ imigrantów do Europy. Sytuacja ta nasiliła się szczególnie w 2015 roku, zmuszając rządy państw europejskich do stworzenia warunków bytowych dla przybywających uchodźców. Docelowo bardzo duża część imigrantów dotarła aż do Republiki Federalnej Niemiec. Chęć ukazania jednej z przyczyn obrania akurat takiego kierunku migracji była głównym motywem wyboru tematu niniejszego artykułu.Cel: Celem artykułu jest analiza związków między niemiecką polityką socjalną a powstaniem kryzysu migracyjnego w tym państwie. Badanie zostało przeprowadzone za pomocą oceny mierników ilościowych. Analizie zostały poddane dane Eurostat oraz Federalnego Urzędu Statystycznego Niemiec dotyczące wniosków o azyl oraz przepływów migracyjnych, jak również ustawy Deutscher Bundestagu dotyczące świadczeń socjalnych dla uchodźców.Wyniki: Przeprowadzona analiza wykazała zależności między polityką socjalną prowadzoną przez rząd niemiecki a napływem imigrantów do tego państwa. Wysokie świadczenia socjalne dla uchodźców stanowiły jeden z głównych czynników przyciągających migrantów.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate effects of administration of a 4.7-mg deslorelin acetate implant on egg laying in healthy cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus).

ANIMALS 52 cockatiels.

PROCEDURES 26 breeding pairs (a female and its respective male in each pair) were selected on the basis of their history of egg laying. Female birds were sedated and received a 4.7-mg deslorelin acetate implant (n = 13) or placebo implant (13) in the subcutaneous tissues between the scapulae. Male and female birds of each breeding pair were placed in separate but adjacent cages. Birds were exposed to 16 hours of light and 8 hours of darkness. A nest box was placed in cages of female birds to stimulate reproductive activity. Egg production and quality were monitored daily for 365 days.

RESULTS Deslorelin acetate implants significantly suppressed egg laying in cockatiels, compared with effects for the placebo implants. Eleven of 13 placeboimplanted birds laid eggs between 12 and 42 days after implantation. None of the deslorelin-implanted birds laid eggs within 180 days after implantation, and only 5 of 13 deslorelin-implanted birds laid an egg during the study period (first egg laid between 192 and 230 days after implantation). No differences in egg quality or number of eggs per clutch were observed between the 2 groups.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Insertion of a 4.7-mg deslorelin acetate implant suppressed egg laying in healthy cockatiels for at least 180 days. Studies are necessary to evaluate effects of a deslorelin acetate implant in other avian species or in association with reproductive disorders.
Metafiction Meets Migration: Art From the Archives in Rabee Jaber's Amerika
Authors: Wrisley David Joseph
Published: May 2017

The subject of this article is Rabee Jaber’s novel Amerika (2009) recounting the migration of a group of Syro-Lebanese to the United States on the eve of the First World War. It demonstrates how metafictional techniques—ironic narrator figures, flashbacks, dream-like scenes—allow Jaber to address the fine, yet shifting, line between fiction and history in the accounts of Arab migrations to the Americas. The article explores the creative rewriting of an essential intertext for Jaber, Kafka’s Amerika (The Man Who Disappeared) and asserts that the novel’s reflective uncertainty pervades both the way that a historical past can be represented and the way that the past is presented to a contemporary Lebanese audience. The article concludes by suggesting that the contrast between the two main characters, Martā Ḥaddād and Alī Jābir, is not only indicative of distinct kinds of migration, but, more abstractly, points to contrasting ideas about reading and writing the past.

Stand establishment and emergence from deep planting are important traits for winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars produced in the US Pacific Northwest. The objective of this research was to develop an adapted winter wheat cultivar with a long coleoptile and the ability to emerge well from deep planting conditions in the dryland (<300 mm annual precipitation) regions of Washington State. ‘Sequoia’ (Reg. No. CV‐1125, PI 678966) hard red winter wheat was developed and released by the Agricultural Research Center of Washington State University. Sequoia was tested under the population designations 2J040720, 3J040720, 2J061383, 3J061383, 4J061383, and 5J061383 and experimental designation WA8180, which were assigned through progressive generations of advancement. Sequoia is a tall cultivar adapted to the low‐precipitation, rainfed wheat production regions of Washington with excellent emergence from deep planting. Sequoia has high‐temperature, adult‐plant resistance to stripe rust, average grain protein, high grain volume weight, high yield potential, and excellent end‐use quality properties.

Enlarging genetic pools of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) germplasm is important for keeping diverse genetic resources available for barley improvement. 01Ab9663 (Reg. No. GP‐209; PI 677387) is a six‐rowed elite line from the cross 93Ab375//92Ab5189/M83. 93Ab375 was derived from the cross Russell/82Ab2322//‘Morex’, and 92Ab5189 was the result of the cross 83Ab5432/85SR40. 01Ab9663 was advanced via the bulk method from the F2 to F5 generations. 01Ab9663 exhibited a 126 and 105% yield advantage over ‘Morex’ and ‘Tradition’, respectively, within 37 locations years of testing in our irrigated trials. It showed on average 81.8% malt extract, significantly higher than all the checks from 21 trials. 01Ab9663 has a semidwarf stature with strong straw, a desirable trait for lodging resistance. These excellent character traits make 01Ab9663 a good choice for germplasm development of future malt and feed lines.

Published: May 2017

The freeze-thaw durability of shotcrete can be improved by adding an air-entraining agent in cold areas. The main focus of this paper is to investigate the changes in the internal pore structure of C25 ordinary shotcrete and shot­crete mixed with a RM-YQ air-entraining agent using computed tomography (CT) scanning technique during freeze-thaw cycles. The macroscopic tests were conducted, including mass loss, dynamic modulus of elasticity and ultrasonic wave velocity tests. Results were compared, and the freeze-thaw durability characteristics of shotcrete mixed with the air-entraining agent were revealed. Adding an air-entraining agent could reduce the number of pores largely that ranged mainly from 0.01 mm2 to 1.00 mm2 (excluding the pores or bubbles < 0.01 mm2 because of the precision of the CT scan­ning system), and could therefore improve the initial pore structure of the formed shotcrete. During first few freeze-thaw cycles, just few small pores formed. After cement mortar fragmentations appeared, the number of small pores (0.01 mm2 to 0.50 mm2) in ordinary shotcrete increased significantly. The pore structure deteriorated largely. However, this could be prevented effectively by adding an air-entraining agent. Therefore, the freeze–thaw durability of shotcrete was improved.
Mechanical properties and fibre density of steel fibrereinforced self-compacting concrete slabs by DIA and XCT approaches
Authors: PONIKIEWSKI Tomasz , KATZER Jacek
Published: May 2017

The aim of the research programme was to investigate flexural behaviour of steel fibre reinforced self-com­pacting concrete (SFRSCC). The specimens were in a form of slabs reinforced with steel fibres (of three lengths and two shapes) by volumes of 1.0% and 1.5%. Two methods of casting slabs were examined. The experimental tests per­formed on 80 specimens cut from slabs (1.2×1.2×0.15 m) involved tests of mechanical properties, digital image analysis (DIA), and X-ray computed tomography (XCT) procedures. Determination of distribution of fibres by DIA and XCT was required to assess relationships between mechanical properties and the casting methods. The tests were conducted according to RILEM TC 162-TDF (2002) and EN 14651:2005+A1:2007(E) recommendations. The study confirmed the technological problems associated with uneven distribution of steel fibres in SCC matrix. Based on the performed analy­sis, the flexural tensile strength of SFRSCC cannot be described with the formulas used for SFRC. Fibres are generally oriented parallel to the direction of concrete mixture flow in a mould. This phenomenon is influenced by fibre length and the location of concrete casting point (CCP). It was also demonstrated that the flexural behaviour of tested elements is influenced by CCP.
Effect of fly ash addition on the fracture toughness of plain concrete at third model of fracture
Authors: GOLEWSKI Grzegorz Ludwik
Published: May 2017

A new testing method and estimation of the fracture toughness in Mode III (antiplane shear) of concretes contain­ing: 0, 20 and 30% volume content of the class F fly ash (FA) was proposed. Fracture toughness tests were performed on axial torsional machine MTS 809 Axial/Torsional Test System using special device. The Device for the fracture toughness test at the Mode III fracture consisted of the cylindrical specimen with the formed initial crack, steel plates, and screws with washers securing the specimen in the press holders. The specimens applied for experiments were cylinders with dimensions of 150/300 mm, having an initial circumferential notch made in the half-height of cylinders. The specimens were subjected to pure torsion. The studies examined effect of FA additive on the parameter KIIIc. 20% FA additive causes a small increase of the KIIIc in comparison to the concrete without the FA, while 30% FA additive causes a significant decrease in fracture tough­ness. The fracture surfaces of the specimens analysed macroscopically were planar. Scanning microscopic observations (SEM) indicate that in the fracture surfaces multilevel cracks occur in the shape of semicircles.
Application of FWD data in developing dynamic modulus master curves of in-service asphalt layers
Authors: SOLATIFAR Nader , KAVUSSI Amir , ABBASGHORBANI Mojtaba , SIVILEVIČIUS Henrikas
Published: May 2017

This paper presents a simple method to determine dynamic modulus master curve of asphalt layers by con­ducting Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) for use in mechanistic-empirical rehabilitation. Ten new and rehabilitated in-service asphalt pavements with different physical characteristics were selected in Khuzestan and Kerman provinces in south of Iran. FWD testing was conducted on these pavements and core samples were taken. Witczak prediction model was used to predict dynamic modulus master curves from mix volumetric properties as well as the bitumen viscosity characteristics. Adjustments were made using FWD results and the in-situ dynamic modulus master curves were ob­tained. In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method, the results were compared with those obtained by us­ing the developed procedure of the state-of-the-practice, Mechanistic-Empirical Pavement Design Guide (MEPDG). Re­sults showed the proposed method has several advantages over MEPDG including: (1) simplicity in directly constructing in-situ dynamic modulus master curve; (2) developing in-situ master curve in the same trend with the main predicted one; (3) covering the large differences between in-situ and predicted master curve in high frequencies; and (4) the value obtained for the in-situ dynamic modulus is the same as the value measured by the FWD for a corresponding frequency.

« Getting the city on lock » : imaginaires géographiques et stratégies d’authentification dans le rap en France et aux États-Unis
Authors: Guillard Séverin
Published: May 2017

La question spatiale est depuis longtemps un élément central dans les analyses portant sur le rap. Perçu comme émergeant dans des contextes urbains particuliers, ce genre musical donnerait à voir un fort ancrage, les rappeurs cherchant souvent à «représenter» leur ville ou leur région. Mais du domaine des représentations à celui des pratiques, c’est l’étude des espaces de la production musicale qui s’ouvre à partir de cas d’études pris, ici, à Lille et à Atlanta, rapprochant images préalables du lieu et stratégies de carrière.
Sciences sociales et sociolinguistique : disciplines, alternatives, conversations et critiques
Authors: Duchêne Alexandre
Published: May 2017

Cette contribution examine deux défis centraux de la sociolinguistique, celui de se faire entendre au-delà de son inscription disciplinaire historique, et celui de sa capacité à faire sens des savoirs produits en dehors de son champ et nécessaires à la compréhension des phénomènes langagiers en société. Ces défis soulignent une tension au cœur même des logiques disciplinaires ; ces dernières permettent certes de produire un savoir légitime et probablement structurant, mais créent par ailleurs des carcans qui empêchent et conditionnent la production même de ce savoir. On examine ces défis sous l’angle des rapports complexes qu’entretient la sociolinguistique avec les sciences sociales. On montre comment les inscriptions disciplinaires de la sociolinguistique informent la production du savoir, ses limites et plus spécifiquement l’ambivalence du positionnement de la sociolinguistique face aux sciences sociales. On décrit des initiatives, des alternatives aux façonnements départementaux ou disciplinaires, qui sont emblématiques de zones de contacts productives entre les sciences du langage et les sciences sociales. Finalement on se penche sur l’effacement temporaire des logiques disciplinaires et sur la manière dont des rencontres intellectuelles nous invitent à étendre notre compréhension et du social et du linguistique.
Toward a neuro-cognitive model of socio-political discourse, and an application to the populist discourse of Donald Trump
Authors: Chilton Paul
Published: May 2017

Cet article trouve sa source dans le fait que les processus socio-politiques ne sont pas « ex-nihilo » dans la société mais sont bien des processus intellectuels créés par des individus et existants parmi des individus. On a donc affaire avant tout à des processus verbaux dépendants de l’unique capacité linguistique humaine. Ils peuvent et doivent donc être étudiés par le biais d’outils tirés de la science cognitive et de la linguistique. Dans ce court article, j’expose deux théories de linguistique cognitive pouvant être appliquées à l’analyse du discours politico-social, j’entends par là la théorie de l’espace discursif (en anglais, DST) et la théorie des schémas. Dans le premier cas, il s’agit d’un modèle qui se focalise sur la façon dont les individus appréhendent une situation et sur la manière dont la connaissance est structurée par et au travers la langue – soit un modèle reflétant dans le même temps la théorie de la deixis de Buhler et la théorie française de l’énonciation. Le second modèle, basé sur le travail philosophique et scientifico-cognitif de Mark Johnson et George Lakoff, se focalise quant à lui sur les motifs à la fois pré-linguistiques et neuro-cognitifs structurant l’expérience et donc le sens linguistique lui-même. Dans un troisième temps, cet article démontre comment ces théories peuvent être mises en application à travers l’analyse du phénomène contemporain du discours populiste, en particulier celui de Donald Trump.
Pertinence de l’analyse grammaticale en linguistique variationnelle
Authors: Stark Elisabeth
Published: May 2017

Cette contribution vise à démontrer la pertinence d’une description grammaticale scrupuleuse des données rassemblées dans des corpus ainsi que de leur description quantitative/statistique pour mieux comprendre les causes de la variation observée. Partant du concept du « français de l’immédiat » établi dans les années 1990 en linguistique variationnelle germanophone par Peter Koch et Wulf Oesterreicher, nous démontrons cela à propos de deux phénomènes de variation souvent discutés dans ce contexte : d’abord l’omission du ne de négation, traditionnellement attribuée à certains groupes de locuteur du français ou à certaines situations de communication. Ensuite, nous dévoilerons une variante du « standard » comme factice de la grammaticographie normative (l’accord du participe passé avec avoir ), variante dont la corrélation observable avec le milieu socio-éducatif des locuteurs devient banale une fois compris sa non-existence dans la grammaire naturelle du français. Nous espérons ainsi contribuer à intensifier le dialogue entre la linguistique variationnelle et la recherche grammaticale, qui devraient mutuellement connaître et comprendre leurs méthodes, démarches analytiques et résultats respectifs.

Dans le sillage de la « sociolinguistique critique » la réflexion sur la position du chercheur et des enjeux politiques de la recherche ne cesse de travailler les nouvelles approches du langage. Le programme d’une sociolinguistique politique s’inscrit avant tout dans une approche anthropographique des pratiques langagières, constituée par une méthode anthropologique et des questions sociologiques. Il se poursuit par un engagement à tous les stades de la recherche, de la constitution des objets à l’interprétation scientifique, en passant par la co-construction des connaissances. L’activité cinématographique, de par son immédiateté et de son ouverture socio-politique en termes de diffusion, est proposée ici comme exemple d’une autre manière de faire de la sociolinguistique.
Depression in Family Caregivers of Mexican Descent: Exacerbated by Stress and Mitigated by Mutuality
Authors: Crist Janice D. , Pasvogel Alice , Szalacha Laura A. , Finley Brooke A.
Published: May 2017

Despite common assumptions that non-paid family caregivers of Mexican descent benefit spiritually from their roles according to cultural familistic norms, there is also evidence of caregiver stress resulting in depression. Depression has the potential to seriously affect caregivers' health and their ability to continue to provide care. The current study's purpose was to examine the relationships among depression, stress, and mutuality (i.e., the quality of the caregiver–care recipient relationship) (
N
= 74 caregivers of Mexican descent in the southwestern United States). Multiple regression models and exploratory mediational analyses indicated that the stress–depression relationship can be significantly mediated by mutuality. Results support culturally appropriate interventions to decrease caregiver stress and depression by promoting mutuality. In addition, with changing trends in outside work roles and mobility of caregivers of Mexican descent, policy should make services truly accessible to support caregiving families of Mexican descent.

Cosmopolitismo y política de la traducción
Authors: Bielsa Esperanza , Aguilera Antonio
Published: May 2017

La traducción tiene una relevancia central en las teorías recientes sobre el cosmopolitismo que subrayan la interdependencia global y la interacción entre culturas y tradiciones distintas. En este contexto, es necesario formular una política de la traducción que cuestione algunos presupuestos idealistas sobre la traducción presentes en la literatura sociológica, que especifique la traducción como un acto fundamentalmente etnocéntrico y que proponga estrategias relevantes para enfrentarse a este etnocentrismo y para abrir la traducción a la diferencia del otro. Esta política consiste en la extensión de una ética de la traducción basada en la hospitalidad lingüística, de modo que permita plantear conflictos, asimetrías y desigualdades culturales a un nivel social más amplio y buscar respuestas políticas y normativas al respecto en una dirección cosmopolita. Desde esta perspectiva, también se aborda la relevancia de una política de la traducción como alternativa a una política de la identidad.
A Three Dimensional Finite Element Analysis of Mechanical Stresses in the Human Knee Joint: Problem of Cartilage Destruction
Authors: Trad Zahra , Barkaoui Abdelwahed , Chafra Moez
Published: May 2017

Knee malalignment is considered one of the key biomechanical factors that influence the progression of knee osteoarthritis. In this context, a three-dimensional Finite Element model of the knee joint is developed and used to investigate the effect of the frontal plane femoro-tibial angle as well as the body weight load on the stress distribution in the knee cartilage and menisci. Therefore, the knee joint model is obtained through CAD software. Bones, articular cartilage and menisci are considered linear, elastic and isotropic materials. Ligaments were modelled using connectors. Consequently, contact pressures and equivalent stress (von-Mises) are calculated in Abaqus software. This model was validated using experimental and numerical results obtained by other authors. Results of this work demonstrated that; compressive stress and contact pressure on the medial compartment of the knee joint were found to be larger compared to those in the lateral compartment when the femoro-tibial angle and the body weight load increased from 0° to 12° varus and 500 N to 1250 N, respectively, suggesting that these two parameters might be risk factors for developing medial compartment knee osteoarthritis.

Protein kinase C-ε (PKC-ε) at phagocytic cups mediates the membrane fusion necessary for efficient IgG-mediated phagocytosis. The C1B and pseudosubstrate (εPS) domains are necessary and sufficient for this concentration. C1B binds diacylglycerol; the docking partner for εPS is unknown. Liposome assays revealed that the εPS binds phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PI4P) and PI(3,5)P2. Wortmannin, but not LY294002, inhibits PKC-ε concentration at cups and significantly reduces the rate of phagocytosis. As Wortmannin inhibits PI4 kinase, we hypothesized that PI4P mediates the PKC-ε concentration at cups and the rate of phagocytosis. PKC-ε colocalizes with the trans-Golgi network (TGN) PI4P reporter, P4M, suggesting it is tethered at the TGN. Real-time imaging of GFP-PKC-ε–expressing macrophages revealed a loss of Golgi-associated PKC-ε during phagocytosis, consistent with a Golgi-to-phagosome translocation. Treatment with PIK93, a PI4 kinase inhibitor, reduces PKC-ε at both the TGN and the cup, decreases phagocytosis, and prevents the increase in capacitance that accompanies membrane fusion. Finally, expression of the Golgi-directed PI4P phosphatase, hSac1-K2A, recapitulates the PIK93 phenotype, confirming that Golgi-associated PI4P is critical for efficient phagocytosis. Together these data are consistent with a model in which PKC-ε is tethered to the TGN via an εPS-PI4P interaction. The TGN-associated pool of PKC-ε concentrates at the phagocytic cup where it mediates the membrane fusion necessary for phagocytosis. The novelty of these data lies in the demonstration that εPS binds PI4P and PI(3,5)P2 and that PI4P is necessary for PKC-ε localization at the TGN, its translocation to the phagocytic cup, and the membrane fusion required for efficient Fc [γ] receptor–mediated phagocytosis.
Challenges faced by women with disabilities in accessing sexual and reproductive health in Zimbabwe: The case of Chitungwiza town
Authors: Rugoho Tafadzwa , Maphosa France
Published: May 2017

Background: Women with disabilities in Zimbabwe face numerous challenges in accessing sexual and reproductive health. Cultural belief still regards them as not sexually active. The government has also failed to promote policies that facilitate access to sexual and reproductive services by women with disabilities.Objectives: The reseach objectives were to explore the challenges faced by women with disabilities in accessing sexual and reproductive health in Zimbabwe.Method: The data were gathered using in-depth interviews with 23 purposively selected respondents. Thirteen women had physical disabilities, five were visually impaired, three were deaf and two were stammering. The respondents with physical disabilities were using wheelchairs, walking frames, prosthesis, crutches and caliper shoes. The participants’ ages ranged from 18 to 45 years. All interviews were transcribed and translated verbatim into English, and passages were extracted from the transcripts. Key themes and concepts were identified and coded to offer a rich framework for analysis, comparisons and presentation of the data.Results: Negative perceptions of health personnel towards people with disabilities, disability-unfriendly infrastructure at health facilities and absence of trained personnel for people with disabilities (sign language) are some of the challenges involved.Conclusion: The government, in partnership with other stakeholders, should address challenges faced by women with disabilities when accessing sexual and reproductive health services. Non-government, private hospitals and profit-making organisations should join hands with government in funding health requirements for women with disabilities.

Published: May 2017

Urinary bladder carcinoma (UBC) is the ninth most common malignancy and the second most common urological malignancy after prostate cancer in men. Thoracic metastases occur in more than half of those with muscle-invasive disease, and these generally assume the form of multiple solid parenchymal lesions characteristic of hematogenous seeding of the lung. Unusual patterns of thoracic spread of UBC have also been described albeit sporadically in the form of case reports and series. The aim of our case series is to provide illustrations of several atypical patterns of thoracic involvement by UBC such as isolated mediastinal lymphadenopathy, cavitary lung metastases, malignant pleural effusion, endobronchial disease, and pulmonary tumor embolism. This review is meant to highlight the intersection of the fields of urological oncology and thoracic radiology in the care of patients with UBC.
Classification of Regular Parametrized
One-relation Operads
Authors: Bremner Murray , Dotsenko Vladimir
Published: May 2017

Jean-Louis Loday introduced a class of symmetric operads generated by one bilinear operation subject to one relation making each left-normed product of three elements equal to a linear combination of right-normed products: . Such an operad is called a parametrized one-relation operad. For a particular choice of parameters {xσ}, this operad is said to be regular if each of its components is the regular representation of the symmetric group; equivalently, the corresponding free algebra on a vector space V is, as a graded vector space, isomorphic to the tensor algebra of V. We classify, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, all regular parametrized one-relation operads. In fact, we prove that each such operad is isomorphic to one of the following ûve operads: the left-nilpotent operad defined by the relation ((a1a2)a3) = 0, the associative operad, the Leibniz operad, the dual Leibniz (Zinbiel) operad, and the Poisson operad. Our computationalmethods combine linear algebra over polynomial rings, representation theory of the symmetric group, and Gröbner bases for determinantal ideals and their radicals.

Sartre and Theology
Authors: Kirkpatrick Kate
Published: May 2017

Jean-Paul Sartre was one of the twentieth century’s most prominent atheists. But his philosophy was informed by theological writers and themes in ways that have not previously been acknowledged. In Sartre and Theology, Kirkpatrick examines Sartre’s philosophical formation and rarely discussed early work, demonstrating how, and which, theology shaped Sartre’s thinking. She also shows that Sartre’s philosophy – especially Being and Nothingness and Existentialism is A Humanism – contributed to several prominent twentieth-century theologies, examining Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, and Liberation theologians’s rebuttals and appropriations of Sartre.

For philosophers, this work opens up an unmined vein of influence on Sartre’s work which illuminates his conceptual divergences from the German phenomenological tradition. And for theologians, it offers insights into a theologically informed atheism which provoked responses from some of the twentieth-century’s greatest theologians – an atheism from which we can still learn much today.
Información sobre la quimioterapia paliativa en pacientes con cáncer avanzado: una revisión
Authors: Navarro Jiménez José Miguel , Cruzado Juan Antonio , Boya Cristia María Jesús
Published: May 2017

Introducción. La quimioterapia paliativa es el tratamiento específico de primera elección en la mayoría de los pacientes oncológicos con enfermedad avanzada y es esencial que los pacientes entiendan los objetivos del tratamiento y las expectativas se ajusten al proceso de la enfermedad. Objetivo: Hacer una revisión sistemática sobre las creencias y expectativas que tienen los pacientes que reciben quimioterapia paliativa. Método. Se realizaron búsquedas en PubMed desde el año 2000 hasta la actualidad. Artículos escritos en inglés y español. Un total de 20 artículos cumplieron los criterios de inclusión. Resultados: Alrededor de la mitad de los pacientes que reciben quimioterapia paliativa, tienen creencias erróneas sobre las expectativas y objetivos del tratamiento. Los pacientes que entienden los objetivos del tratamiento presentan menor probabilidad de recibir quimioterapia al final de la vida, menores síntomas de ansiedad y depresión, mayor sensación de control y deseo de cuidados paliativos que se asocian a mejor calidad de vida. Conclusión: un porcentaje significativo de pacientes oncológicos en fase avanzada, reciben quimioterapia paliativa sin conocer el objetivo del tratamiento con expectativas erróneas de curarse, lo que dificulta la participación en la toma de decisiones sobre su plan de cuidados.
