An assessment of the efficacy and peak catch rates of emergence tents for measuring bee nesting
Authors: Pane Alexander M. , Harmon‐Threatt Alexandra N.
Published: June 2017

Premise of the study:

Emergence tents are a new tool used to understand nesting ecology of ground nesting bee species. However, many questions remain about how to use tents effectively. We assessed (a) variance in tent capture rates over time, (b) the effects of site characteristics on proportion of tents capturing bees, and (c) the effect of soil characteristics on nest site choice.

Methods:

Emergence tents were placed out for one week in May, June, and August and checked daily. Soil, bee, and floral characteristics were recorded.

Results:

Across all sites and months the average number of tents capturing bees was less than 20% during one week of sampling, but this varied between sites. Tent captures decreased after 48 h deployment, but accumulation differed seasonally, with slower accumulation of total bees caught in May than in June or August. Although capture rates were not affected by bee or floral abundance, soil moisture beneath a tent influenced where bees were captured.

Discussion:

Effective use of emergence tents may require adjusting the length of deployment depending on season and will require a minimum of 48 h installation to help maximize efficacy. The overall low capture rates demonstrate the need to optimize emergence tent use.
Evaluation of quantum dot conjugated antibodies for immunofluorescent labelling of cellular targets
Authors: Francis Jennifer E , Mason David , Lévy Raphaël
Published: June 2017

Semiconductor quantum dots (Qdots) have been utilised as probes in fluorescence microscopy and provide an alternative to fluorescent dyes and fluorescent proteins due to their brightness, photostability, and the possibility to excite different Qdots with a single wavelength. In spite of these attractive properties, their implemenation by biologists has been somewhat limited and only a few Qdot conjugates are commercially available for the labelling of cellular targets. Although many protocols have been reported for the specific labelling of proteins with Qdots, the majority of these relied on Qdot-conjugated antibodies synthesised specifically by the authors (and therefore not widely available), which limits the scope of applications and complicates replication. Here, the specificity of a commercially available, Qdot-conjugated secondary antibody (Qdot-Ab) was tested against several primary IgG antibodies. The antigens were labelled simultaneously with a fluorescent dye coupled to a secondary antibody (Dye-Ab) and the Qdot-Ab. Although, the Dye-Ab labelled all of the intended target proteins, the Qdot-Ab was found bound to only some of the protein targets in the cytosol and could not reach the nucleus, even after extensive cell permeabilisation.

Published: June 2017

The sacral and memorial architecture of Lithuanian manors is unique part of the heritage of Lithuanian manors. The manor residencies of Lithuania abound in a variety of sacred and memorial objects: churches, chapels, mausoleums, the graveyard of tombstones and other memorials or monuments. The structure of the cemetery consists of the layout of the territory, the markers outlining the boundaries of the cemetery, greenery and the nature of the surface of the land, buildings and other objects. The aim of this research is to describe relationship of the sacral and memorial spaces with their surrounding environment, representative part of manor residencies and to present the spatial structure of the cemetery, outlining markers, greenery and other elements of architectural composition of cemeteries.

THE SITUATION WITH USE OF WOOD CONSTRUCTIONS IN CONTEMPORARY LATVIAN ARCHITECTURE / MEDINIŲ KONSTRUKCIJŲ PANAUDOJIMAS ŠIUOLAIKINĖJE LATVIJOS ARCHITEKTŪROJE
Authors: Viluma Antra
Published: June 2017

Wood is a historic building material used throughout the Baltic States. Latvia’s forests cover 52% of the country and there are more than 30 producers of timber constructions materials, but during the last two decades the use wood in Latvian architecture has declined when compared to other countries in Europe. In particular – Latvian architects avoid the use of timber in public and multi-unit apartment buildings. Wood is a sustainable and technically appropriate building material for many types of buildings including complex construction, but in Latvian architecture it is used more in facades as a finishing material. This study analyses buildings built during the last few decades, conducted a number of interviews and found that the percentage of wooden buildings in the total building volume in Latvia is less than 5% in both apartment buildings and public sector buildings. Restrictive legislation and negative stereotypes were mentioned as reasons as to why architects avoid the use of wood. For the survey results seven Latvian Museum of Contemporary Art competition projects were analysed as well.
Mediena yra tradicinė statybos medžiaga, naudojama visose Baltijos šalyse. 53 proc. Latvijos teritorijos dengia miškai, šalyje yra daugiau nei 30 medienos perdirbimo įmonių. Bet pastaraisiais dviem dešimtmečiais medienos panaudojimas Latvijos architektūroje sumažėjo, ypač lyginant su kitomis Europos šalimis. Latvijos architektai vengia naudoti medieną viešiesiems pastatams ir daugiabučiams namams. Mediena yra tvari ir techniškai tinkama statybos medžiaga skirtingiems pastatams, taip pat ir daugiafunkciams, tačiau Latvijos architektūroje ji dažniau naudojama fasadų apdailai. Šiame tyrime nagrinėjami per pastaruosius keletą dešimtmečių pastatyti statiniai, o atlikus daug apklausų nustatyta, kad mediniai pastatai tesudaro mažiau nei 5 proc. bendros viešųjų ir gyvenamųjų statinių statybų Latvijoje apimties. Ribojantys reglamentai ir neigiami stereotipai buvo paminėti kaip pagrindinės priežastys, dėl kurių architektai vengia naudoti medieną. Tyrimo rezultatai buvo gauti išanalizavus septynis Latvijos šiuolaikinio meno muziejaus rengto konkurso projektus.
BETWEEN ARTISTIC AND SCIENTIFIC VISUAL RECONSTRUCTION: CASE STUDY OF VILNIUS UPPER CASTLE / TARP MENINĖS IR MOKSLINĖS VAIZDINĖS REKONSTRUKCIJOS: VILNIAUS AUKŠTUTINĖS PILIES ATVEJIS
Authors: Povilaitytė-Leliugienė Edita
Published: June 2017

The article tells the history of reconstruction images of the Vilnius Upper Castle. The rapid decay of the defences constructions in 19th century have encouraged not only the first heritage protection practices but also artistic inspirations to visually recreate the majestic spirit of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Artists, architects, art critics, and later archaeologists, investigated first construction forms by analysing the remains of architectural elements and by referring to iconographic, archaeological data and analogues. Images, schemes and models from the second half of 20th century had a particularly large influence on today’s’ understanding of historic visualisation of architectural forms of the castle. The purpose of this article is to examine the origin of reconstructive images and the grounds of the visual playback of architectural forms.
Straipsnyje atskleidžiama Vilniaus Aukštutinės pilies rekonstrukcinių vaizdų istorija. XIX amžius, prasidėjęs sparčiu gynybinio komplekso nykimu, paskatino ne tik pirmąsias paveldosaugines praktikas, bet ir menines inspiracijas atvaizduose atkurti didingą Lietuvos Didžiosios Kunigaikštystės dvasią. Menininkai, architektai, menotyrininkai, vėliau archeologai nagrinėdami pilies architektūrinių elementų liekanas bei remdamiesi ikonografija, archeologiniais duomenimis, analogijomis tyrė ir analizavo pirmines statinių formas. Ypač XX a. antrosios pusės piešiniai / brėžiniai, maketai suformavo ir šiandieninį pilies istorinio vaizdo suvokimą. Straipsnyje siekiama išnagrinėti rekonstrukcinių vaizdų kilmę ir atskleisti, kuo grįstas architektūrinių formų vizualinis atkūrimas.
USING NATURAL SHAPE STATISTICS OF URBAN FORM TO MODEL SOCIAL CAPITAL / SOCIALINIO KAPITALO MODELIAVIMAS TAIKANT PASTATŲ FORMOS STATISTINĘ ANALIZĘ
Authors: Ivaškevičius Marius
Published: June 2017

The social aspect is an important but often overlooked part of sustainable development philosophy. In hoping to popularise and show the importance of social sustainable development, this study tries to find a relation between the social environment and urban form. Research in the social capital field provided the methodology to acquire social computational data. The relation between human actions and the environment is noted in many theories, and used in some practices. Human cognition is computationally predictable with natural shape analysis and machine learning methods. In the analysis of shape, a topological skeleton is a proven method to acquire statistical data that correlates with data collected from human experiments. In this study, the analysis of urban form with respect to human cognition was used to acquire computational data for a machine learning model of social capital in counties in the USA Tvarios plėtros teorijoje socialinė aplinka yra pripažinta kaip svarbus veiksnys, tačiau trūksta praktinės metodikos. Ryšio tarp urbanistinės formos ir socialinės aplinkos radimas aktualizuotų ir padėtų populiarinti socialinę tvarią plėtrą. Aplinkos įtaka žmonių tarpusavio elgesiui yra ne kartą aptartas reiškinys, tačiau praktikoje retai taikomas. Ankstesniuose socialinio kapitalo tyrimuose pateikiamos metodologijos ir statistiniai duomenys esamos situacijos analizei atlikti. Kaip žmonės suvokia formas, yra nuspėjama taikant statistinę formos analizę ir dirbtinio intelekto metodologiją – sistemos mokymąsi. Klasifikuojant formas topologinio skeleto metodologija gaunami rezultatai koreliuoja su duomenimis, surinktais per eksperimentą, kuriame žmonės klasifikuoja formas. Taikant žinomas formos analizės metodologijas, atspindinčias suvokimą, buvo surinkti duomenys modeliuoti socialinį kapitalą su sisteminio mokymosi modeliu. Sisteminis mokymasis yra dirbtinio intelekto sritis, kurioje remiantis pateiktais duomenimis automatiškai sukalibruojama kompleksinė matematinė formulė. Modeliuojant socialinį kapitalą su formos skeleto statistiniais duomenimis, geriausi rezultatai pasiekti taikant neuroniniais tinklais pagristą sisteminį mokymąsi.
The Origin of B-type Runaway Stars: Non-LTE Abundances as a Diagnostic
Authors: McEvoy Catherine M. , Dufton Philip L. , Smoker Jonathan V. , Lambert David L. , Keenan Francis P. , Schneider Fabian R. N. , de Wit Willem-Jan
Published: June 2017

There are two accepted mechanisms to explain the origin of runaway OB-type stars: the binary supernova (SN) scenario and the cluster ejection scenario. In the former, an SN explosion within a close binary ejects the secondary star, while in the latter close multibody interactions in a dense cluster cause one or more of the stars to be ejected from the region at high velocity. Both mechanisms have the potential to affect the surface composition of the runaway star. tlusty non-LTE model atmosphere calculations have been used to determine the atmospheric parameters and the C, N, Mg, and Si abundances for a sample of B-type runaways. These same analytical tools were used by Hunter et al. for their analysis of 50 B-type open-cluster Galactic stars (i.e., nonrunaways). Effective temperatures were deduced using the Si-ionization balance technique, surface gravities from Balmer line profiles, and microturbulent velocities derived using the Si spectrum. The runaways show no obvious abundance anomalies when compared with stars in the open clusters. The runaways do show a spread in composition that almost certainly reflects the Galactic abundance gradient and a range in the birthplaces of the runaways in the Galactic disk. Since the observed Galactic abundance gradients of C, N, Mg, and Si are of a similar magnitude, the abundance ratios (e.g., N/Mg) are as obtained essentially uniform across the sample.
Synchrotron Intensity Gradients as Tracers of Interstellar Magnetic Fields
Authors: Lazarian A. , Yuen Ka Ho , Lee Hyeseung , Cho J.
Published: June 2017

On the basis of the modern understanding of MHD turbulence, we propose a new way of using synchrotron radiation: using synchrotron intensity gradients (SIGs) for tracing astrophysical magnetic fields. We successfully test the new technique using synthetic data obtained with 3D MHD simulations and provide the demonstration of the practical utility of the technique by comparing the directions of magnetic fields that are obtained with PLANCK synchrotron intensity data to the directions obtained with PLANCK synchrotron polarization data. We demonstrate that the SIGs can reliably trace magnetic fields in the presence of noise and can provide detailed maps of magnetic field directions. We also show that the SIGs are relatively robust for tracing magnetic fields while the low spatial frequencies of the synchrotron image are removed. This makes the SIGs applicable to the tracing of magnetic fields using interferometric data with single-dish measurement absent. We discuss the synergy of using the SIGs together with synchrotron polarization in order to find the actual direction of the magnetic fields and quantify the effects of Faraday rotation as well as with other ways of studying astrophysical magnetic fields. We test our method in the presence of noise and the resolution effects. We stress the complementary nature of the studies using the SIG technique and those employing the recently introduced velocity gradient techniques that trace magnetic fields using spectroscopic data.
A literatura científica sobre os impactos causados pela instalação de parques eólicos: análise cienciométrica
Authors: Araújo Amanda Alves , De Moura Geraldo Jorge Barbosa
Published: June 2017

A energia eólica tem sido utilizada em grande escala no mundo por ser uma tecnologia de geração de energia elétrica renovável, competitiva e confiável. No entanto, estudos indicam que, como todo empreendimento de grande porte, gera significativos impactos negativos. O objetivo desse trabalho é conferir através de análises cienciométricas o padrão das pesquisas referentes aos impactos causados com a instalação de Parques Eólicos. As buscas bibliográficas foram realizadas através de palavras-chaves relacionadas à “Energia Eólica” e os “Impactos da Energia Eólica” lançadas no Google Acadêmico, Scielo e Portal Periódico Capes, principais navegadores científicos da internet. Os resultados alcançados dessa pesquisa apontam que um total de trinta e três artigos presentes na literatura científica foram registrados e analisados; evidenciando que embora a energia eólica apresente benefícios quando comparadas a outras fontes de energia, há uma variedade de impactos negativos proporcionados pela mesma que afetam os meios social, físico e faunístico. Esse trabalho contribui na compreensão do confronto de energia “limpa” versus os impactos provocados pela mesma.

Authors: Berlim Jéssica Bonafini , Tsunoda Denise Fukumi
Published: June 2017

A mineração de opinião também conhecida como análise de sentimentos é uma área em constante evolução responsável por analisar opiniões sobre uma determinada entidade, serviço ou produto. Este trabalho propõe-se a criar um protocolo para comparar diferentes ferramentas que realizam a mineração de opinião nas redes sociais. Com base na literatura de apoio foi concebido o protocolo comparativo (constituído por sessenta questões) considerando critérios de recursos, usabilidade e características inerentes à tarefa de mineração de opiniões. Na sequência foram estudas, testadas e selecionadas seis ferramentas que foram comparadas pelos critérios do protocolo proposto. Como resultado foi possível identificar que a ferramenta Seekr destacou-se perante as outras, principalmente por disponibilizar a análise em diversas redes sociais em tempo real e por permitir que a classificação da opinião seja realizada com o apoio de um analista. Por fim este trabalho julga de extrema importância que o estudo sobre a mineração de opinião tenha continuidade, uma vez que este assunto se configura como uma potencial área de trabalho aos profissionais de ciência da informação, ciência da computação e outras atividades relacionadas

Sobre as muitas variáveis – e incógnitas – que se articulam em torno da complexa e não linear relação entre engenharia e vida
Authors: Bordin Leandro , Bazzo Walter Antonio
Published: June 2017

Neste artigo apresentamos discussões sobre a imbricada relação entre o binômio desenvolvimento tecnológico e desenvolvimento humano no âmbito da educação em Engenharia e defendemos que, por meio de sua equalização, será possível efetivar uma educação tecnológica mais comprometida com o bem viver coletivo. Como percurso metodológico usamos a pesquisa bibliográfica e por meio dela construímos encaminhamentos de cunho reflexivo/propositivo. Nesse sentido, constatamos que: (a) a educação em Engenharia precisa reavaliar o modelo de desenvolvimento tecnológico que, historicamente, reproduz; (b) as repercussões da tecnologia no processo civilizatório contemporâneo nos levam a pensar em fragilidades do enfoque CTS como interface de formação e, nessa perspectiva, trabalhamos com o conceito de Equação Civilizatória para relacionar as questões técnicas e humanas; e (c) a formulação e resolução desta complexa e não linear equação passa por uma educação mais interdisciplinar e menos ‘comportada’.
« Il y a des lois sur la plage ! »

Comment conjuguer l’impératif hédoniste imposé par le cadre balnéaire et la nécessité d’assurer l’ordre urbain ? Telle est la question qui se pose tout au long du XX e siècle aux autorités chargées de la surveillance des plages de Los Angeles. Au croisement de l’histoire de la police et de l’histoire du phénomène balnéaire, cet article analyse la manière dont les autorités, les usagers et les propriétaires ont négocié l’ordre balnéaire, depuis le début du XX e siècle – quand le littoral fait figure d’espace-défouloir éloigné du regard des autorités – jusque dans les années 1970, quand les plages, au gré de l’étalement de la ville, en font partie intégrante. Sur la base d’archives variées (presse, archives municipales, etc.), cet article montre qu’en dépit du maintien d’un régime de « tolérance balnéaire » tout au long du siècle, l’urbanisation croissante des plages s’est traduit par un accès plus restreint de ces espaces pour les classes populaires et les minorités sexuelles, ethniques et raciales.
« État ne touche pas à mon matelas ! »
Authors: Bruno Isabelle , Salle Grégory
Published: June 2017

Plage de notoriété mondiale bordant la rive orientale de la presqu’île de Saint-Tropez, Pampelonne est un « territoire contesté » aussi singulier que révélateur. Il est singulier pour des raisons symboliques (la renommée de cette plage), sociologiques (sa fréquentation élitaire), économiques (son exploitation par des établissements commerciaux onéreux), juridiques (un contentieux fameux ayant fait jurisprudence est attaché à son nom) et écologiques (sa qualité d’« espace naturel remarquable » appelle des mesures de protection spécifiques). Il est également révélateur de logiques générales relatives à l’appropriation socialement sélective d’un espace public par excellence. Cette appropriation s’entend ici en un double sens, renvoyant d’une part à la possession – à qui appartient la plage ? – et d’autre part à l’usage – à qui est-elle destinée ? L’article traite ces deux aspects complémentaires en adoptant tour à tour une approche socio-historique et ethnographique.
Derrière la plage, les plantations
Authors: Loloum Tristan
Published: June 2017

Partant de l’étude socio-historique d’une station balnéaire du Nordeste brésilien (Pipa), cet article cherche à comprendre le fait balnéaire en considérant le rôle des différents groupes sociaux impliqués dans le développement touristique, qu’il s’agisse des catégories dominantes à l’origine des nouveaux usages ludiques de la plage ou des populations locales prenant part à cette activité. L’analyse proposée invite à questionner comment les positions dans leurs espaces sociaux respectifs des différents producteurs du tourisme ont pu donner lieu à des convergences d’intérêt favorables au développement balnéaire. Par ailleurs, contre l’idée d’une plage conçue comme un espace à part, on envisage l’histoire de la plage dans sa continuité avec d’autres espaces, en cherchant à comprendre comment les transformations à l’œuvre dans l’arrière-pays agraire (les plantations), parmi la jeune bourgeoisie urbaine ou les paysans-pêcheurs du littoral, ont pu déterminer ce développement.
« Blédards » et « immigrés » sur les plages algériennes
Authors: Bidet Jennifer
Published: June 2017

Les vacances de descendants d’immigrés en Algérie sont l’occasion d’éprouver la trajectoire de mobilité sociale associée à la migration de leurs parents vers la France. Les séjours dans des complexes balnéaires de standing les mettent en coprésence d’une fraction favorisée de la société locale qu’ils ont peu l’occasion de côtoyer dans leur famille algérienne de milieu plus modeste. Cette proximité spatiale entre jeunes « immigrés » de classes populaires et familles de « blédards » de classes supérieures se traduit par une distanciation sociale s’exprimant par le biais de catégorisations ethniques. Elle dessine un espace social transnational où la position relative de chaque groupe dans son espace social national est modifiée par les rapports de force entre nations et le passé colonial de la France en Algérie. Au final, si la plage privée offre aux « immigrés » une occasion de suspendre les rapports de domination subis en France, elle constitue un attribut du statut social des Algériens aisés.
Des histoires avec lendemains
Authors: Despres Altaïr
Published: June 2017

Depuis l’avènement du tourisme à Zanzibar, les plages de l’archipel tanzanien sont le lieu de rencontres intimes fréquentes entre touristes et populations locales. Si l’intimité amicale entretenue par les beach boys avec les vacanciers constitue surtout une manière d’assurer des transactions commerciales dans un contexte marqué par l’incertitude de l’informalité, l’intimité sexuelle et amoureuse avec les vacancières fonctionne, quant à elle, comme un cadre efficace d’accumulation de capitaux, non seulement économiques mais aussi culturels. Au-delà, l’investissement affectif souvent important des femmes dans les « histoires de vacances » conduit à la formation de couples parfois durables. Là où la sexualité offre aux beach boys des rétributions nécessairement limitées, la conjugalité ouvre en revanche à des formes d’accumulation de capitaux sur le long terme, dont les effets se donnent à voir dans leurs trajectoires d’ascension sociale.

Published: June 2017

Prenant acte du développement récent d’un fort discours aménagiste sur les espaces de franges urbaines, cet article propose une méthodologie pour qualifier ces paysages d’entre-deux à partir de deux terrains franciliens. Celle-ci combine des critères de forme, d’accessibilité, d’équipement et d’inter-visibilité renseignés à partir de données cartographiques et d’informations collectées in situ permettant de définir plusieurs types de franges. Les résultats obtenus enrichissent les documents existants et alimentent une discussion sur les caractéristiques souvent attribuées à ces franges (mouvantes, déqualifiées, zones de confrontation brutale entre urbain et rural) qui méritent d’être nuancées.
Intégration spatiale des résidences avec services seniors en France : stratégies d’implantation et de diffusion
Authors: Chaudet Béatrice , Madoré François
Published: June 2017

Cet article propose une analyse géographique des résidences avec services pour seniors en France. Une méthode de recensement est proposée, puis les variations spatiales et temporelles de cet habitat dédié aux seniors sont examinées. Celles-ci oscillent entre ubiquité, haliotropisme et héliotropisme, tout en privilégiant l’urbain dense, ce qui nous conduit à émettre l’hypothèse de logiques préférentielles de développement des promoteurs immobiliers. Si des stratégies d’implantation peuvent être identifiées comme la proximité des aménités ou l’urbain dense, la tendance est néanmoins à l’expansion au-delà de ces aires d’implantation primitive, pour capter une part croissante du marché.
Prix de l’immobilier et proximité de la plate-forme aéroportuaire de Paris – Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG)

Published: June 2017

Les plates-formes aéroportuaires ont été implantées en périphérie des agglomérations, dans des zones offrant de larges disponibilités foncières. Des processus de densification sont en cours dans ces lieux pourtant confrontés aux gênes sonores et couverts par les contraintes du plan d’exposition au bruit ( peb ), car les plates-formes offrent de multiples opportunités sur le plan économique. Les effets sur le prix des acquisitions immobilières sont analysées en appliquant un modèle des prix hédoniques et en évaluant les conséquences en termes d’inégalités environnementales et de justice sociale. Les résultats pour la première plate-forme aéroportuaire française, Paris – Charles-de-Gaulle, sont confrontés aux tendances observées sur d’autres terrains, français comme étrangers.
The Right to the Beach? Urban Renewal, Public Space Policing and the Definition of a Beach Public in Postwar Los Angeles, 1940s-1960s
Authors: Devienne Elsa
Published: June 2017

Cet article montre d’abord comment, après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, une coalition informelle rassemblant des promoteurs immobiliers et l’élite politique locale utilise des stratégies de l’ordre de la planification urbaine et du contrôle policier afin de faire des plages de la ville de Los Angeles un terrain de jeux réservé à la classe moyenne blanche. La première partie de l’article décrit les efforts des urbanistes, des ingénieurs et de l’élite politique et économique afin de mener à bien une campagne de modernisation du littoral qui entraîne notamment la destruction de lieux de loisirs jugés délabrés. Vastes, propres, et dotées d’équipements neufs, ces plages « modernes » doivent attirer touristes, résidents aisés et investisseurs. Ensuite, l’article met en évidence la manière dont la modernisation urbaine sert de justification pour mener des campagnes de harcèlement policier à l’égard des « indésirables », en particulier les homosexuels, nombreux alors à fréquenter des établissements de bains et bars de la côte, et les athlètes de « Muscle Beach », lieu d’entraînement et de performances sportives. La notion de « droit à la ville », telle que développée par Don Mitchell, est utilisée afin de montrer que cette tentative de « sauver » les plages du déclin a pour principale conséquence de restreindre le « droit à la plage » aux seuls baigneurs blancs de la classe moyenne.
All Contentious Politics is Local: Studying the Occupy Movement from Below, in Oakland and Atlanta
Authors: Marche Guillaume , Velut Jean-Baptiste
Published: June 2017

Cet article s’appuie sur une étude comparative du mouvement Occupy dans deux villes, Oakland et Atlanta, à partir de notes de terrain, d’entretiens avec des militants, la presse locale et des ressources en ligne émanant de ces deux branches locales d’Occupy. Nous insistons sur la manière dont des dynamiques transnationales, nationales et locales se sont croisées pour produire des trajectoires de mobilisation différentes, mais parfois similaires à Oakland et Atlanta. Dans quelle mesure Occupy constitue-t-il dans chacune de ces localités un mouvement pour le droit à la ville ? En nous appuyant notamment sur le travail de Walter Nicholls (2008), nous croisons sociologie urbaine et théories des mouvements sociaux pour comprendre comment le lieu, l’échelle et l’espace affectent des trajectoires de mobilisation. Nous concevons Occupy comme un ensemble d’expériences locales dont les trajectoires respectives sont en partie façonnées par l’histoire et la culture, le lieu et l’espace au sein desquels ces mobilisations urbaines ont éclaté. Cet article contribue à un champ émergent d’études sur les politiques et cultures vernaculaires des branches locales d’Occupy, tout en reliant ces résultats empiriques à des conclusions théoriques plus larges.
Une religion politique. Les usages des martyrs révolutionnaires dans le royaume des Deux-Siciles (années 1820-années 1850)
Authors: Delpu Pierre-Marie
Published: June 2017

L’article s’intéresse aux usages politiques des martyrs libéraux et révolutionnaires dans le royaume des Deux-Siciles au début du XIX e siècle. Il cherche à montrer comment l’âge romantique a vu s’affirmer une culture des martyrs dans l’opposition libérale aux Bourbons, fondée sur le souvenir de la révolution manquée de 1799, puis enrichie dans les années 1840 des victimes de la répression des révolutions successives qu’a connues le royaume. Comme l’illustre le cas des provinces calabraises autour du « moment 1848 », la mémoire des martyrs a été à la fois l’un des supports privilégiés des identités locales et l’un des instruments principaux de la politisation du peuple à l’échelle locale, cristallisant des identités politiques très souvent imprécises. Cet aspect identitaire se maintient au début des années 1850, pendant que beaucoup de libéraux sont en exil dans le royaume de Piémont : alors que les martyrs deviennent des pères fondateurs de l’Italie en formation, ils servent surtout à illustrer la supériorité et le primat des Méridionaux dans le mouvement national italien.
Une émulation à usage local. Les concours d’histoire des sociétés savantes de province au XIX e siècle
Authors: Ploux François
Published: June 2017

La tradition du concours académique, qui connut sous la Révolution une brève éclipse, prit après 1800 un nouvel essor. En province, les cercles d’études fondés et animés par des représentants de la bourgeoisie diplômée organisaient des concours scientifiques, littéraires ou historiques. L’objectif était de susciter un climat d’émulation par la mise en jeu de récompenses honorifiques. Mais il s’agissait aussi, pour ces notables provinciaux, très conscients de ce qu’ils n’avaient pas les moyens de contester l’hégémonie culturelle de la capitale, de créer dans leur environnement immédiat une scène intellectuelle sur laquelle ils pourraient s’illustrer. Cependant, l’analyse d’un échantillon de plus de 600 lauréats des concours d’histoire organisés par des sociétés d’émulation provinciales montre que la formule du concours attirait surtout des représentants de la toute petite bourgeoisie d’origine populaire. Pour ces amateurs de recherche historique qui, en raison de leur appartenance aux fractions inférieures de la bourgeoisie, étaient maintenus à l’écart de la sociabilité savante, la participation à un concours offrait la possibilité de faire une timide incursion dans cet univers très hermétique. On s’est intéressé aux stratégies déployées par les organisateurs de concours pour modérer les ambitions intellectuelles de ces historiens de modeste extraction.
L’obstétrique sous influence : émergence de l’accouchement sans douleur en France et en Suisse dans les années 1950
Authors: Vuille Marilène
Published: June 2017

La méthode psychoprophylactique d’accouchement sans douleur, d’origine soviétique, est diffusée en Europe de l’Ouest à partir du début des années 1950. Cet article s’emploie à montrer que ce mode d’analgésie non pharmacologique ne représente qu’une innovation partielle par rapport à des pratiques en cours localement. Son pouvoir d’attraction découle moins de son statut d’outil innovant venu résoudre un problème médical que d’une mise en scène de progrès scientifiques. Une chronologie serrée de sa période d’implantation en France et en Suisse montre en effet qu’elle s’impose dans le monde médical de ces deux pays grâce à une campagne de soutien organisée par les milieux communistes. Sans un travail médiatique clairement partisan qui suscite l’intérêt du grand public, sa seule valeur intrinsèque ne lui aurait pas procuré une diffusion aussi large (à échelle nationale et internationale). Si ses affinités politiques n’entraînent pas son rejet, c’est qu’elle rencontre les intérêts professionnels des obstétriciens, leur pragmatisme, leurs représentations des femmes, et qu’elle se réclame du scientifique de renommée internationale Ivan Pavlov. L’accouchement sans douleur offre une illustration peu commune de la contingence sociale et de l’hétéronomie politique des savoirs scientifiques et médicaux.
Modularity in Total Hip Arthroplasty: Benefits, Risks, Mechanisms, Diagnosis, and Management
Authors: Vierra Ben M. , Blumenthal Sarah R. , Amanatullah Derek F.
Published: June 2017

Modular implants are currently widely used in total hip arthroplasty because they give surgeons versatility during the operation, allow for easier revision surgery, and can be adjusted to better fit the anatomy of the specific patient. However, modular implants, specifically those that have metal-on-metal junctions, are susceptible to crevice and fretting corrosion. This can ultimately cause implant failure, inflammation, and adverse local tissue reaction, among other possible side effects. Surgeons should be aware of the possibility of implant corrosion and should follow a set of recommended guidelines to systematically diagnose and treat patients with corroded implants. Ultimately, surgeons will continue to use modular implants because of their widespread benefits. However, more research is needed to determine how to minimize corrosion and the negative side effects that have been associated with modular junctions in total hip arthroplasty. [

Anxiety Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence: A Primary Care Approach
Authors: Fernandez Sabrina
Published: June 2017

Fears and worries are normal feelings that help us adapt to the ups and downs of life. Those ups and downs are especially normal as children and adolescents grow up and try to find where they fit in the world. With changing relationships at home and in social circles, they are establishing their worldview and solidifying their identity. These feelings of fear and worry can sometimes become overwhelming, and anxiety disorders can develop. Anxiety disorders are the most common psychiatric disorders with onset in childhood. Pediatricians are often a trusted confidant for children and adolescents, and they may be the first people to hear when normal stress becomes overwhelming and progresses into an anxiety disorder. This article is intended for primary care pediatricians to help them identify normal stresses versus anxiety disorders, and help their patients move, through psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy, toward wellness.

Finnish Education
Authors: Itkonen Tuija , Dervin Fred , Talib Mirja-Tytti
Published: June 2017

Finland represents an educational utopia for many educators and decision-makers around the world. The Nordic country is known for its excellence in learning results and the emphasis it lays on equality/equity in education. This paper focuses on the way the latter has been presented and constructed in two popular commercial products on Finnish education: a book and a 60-minute documentary. Audiences for both include educational scholars and practitioners, decision-makers and the general public. The authors examine assumptions, ideologies, and silences in the discussions of equality and equity behind the discourse of excellence in Finnish education. As Finland is actively involved in marketing its education around the world, this calls for a review of the myths and realities of Finnish education.
Racial Discrimination and TESOL
Authors: Louber Ismael
Published: June 2017

While the field of TESOL/TEFL claims to be inclusive given that it is composed of a myriad of sociocultural backgrounds and environments, racial discrimination is a common phenomenon, especially in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Nonetheless, this issue has not been given enough attention by researchers, in that particular region at least. This article reports the findings of a small-scale qualitative study conducted in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia drawing upon the experiences of six non-Saudi male English as a Foreign Language (EFL) lecturers. Open-ended questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data to explore the relationship between teachers' construction of their ethnic and racial identities and issues of discrimination within their professional environment. The study explored the participants' construction of their ethnic and cultural identity and its possible relation to discriminatory practices in their professional environment. The research showed how certain discriminatory practices affected how the participants projected their ethnic and cultural identity in their professional context.
Online Gambling Advertising and the Third-Person Effect
Authors: Guerrero-Solé Frederic , Lopez-Gonzalez Hibai , Griffiths Mark D.
Published: June 2017

Gambling disorder is known to have a negatively detrimental impact on affected individual's physical and psychological health, social relationships, and finances. Via remote technologies (e.g., Internet, mobile phones, and interactive television), gambling has come out of gambling venues and has brought the potential for online gambling to occur anywhere (e.g., the home, the workplace, and on the move). Alongside the rise of online gambling, online gambling advertising have spread throughout all type of media. In a sample of 201 Spanish university students, the present study explored the perceived influence of online gambling advertising. More specifically it examined the Third-Person Effect (TPE), and its consequences on individuals' willingness to support censorship or public service advertising. The findings demonstrate that despite the difference on the perception of the effects of online gambling advertising, it scarcely accounts for the behavioural outcomes analysed. On the contrary, awareness of problem gambling and, above all, paternalistic attitudes appear to explain this support.
The New Era of Bullying
Authors: Chen Bowie , Luppicini Rocci
Published: June 2017

Bullying is an international public health problem that is affecting millions of youth around the world. With the proliferation of digital technology and online social networks, bullying is able to circumvent traditional safety barriers provided within the homes of youth which compounds concerns for parents. This phenomenological research study explored reflections on personal cyberbullying experiences by university students (N = 10) between the ages of 18-23. The study sought to understand why cyberbullying happens and how affected individuals respond to cyberbullying encounters. Findings revealed that online risk behaviour, perceived intention of the bully, response to cyber abuse, and quality of adult and student relationship appear to be linked to the severity of a user's cyberbullying experience. This research contributes to research by providing insight into how students experience and deal with cyberbullying.
Multi-Fuel Power Dispatch in an Interconnected Power System using Ant Lion Optimizer
Authors: Balachandar P  , Ganesan S  , Jayakumar N  , Subramanian S
Published: June 2017

The electrical power generation from fossil fuel releases several contaminants into the air and this become excrescent if the generating unit is fed by Multiple Fuel Sources (MFS).The ever more stringent environmental regulations have forced the power producers to produce electricity not only at the cheapest price but also at the minimum level of pollutant emissions. Inclusion of this issue in the operational task is a welcome perspective. The cost effective and environmental responsive power system operations in the presence of MFS can be recognized as a multi-objective constrained optimization problem with conflicting operational objectives. The modern meta-heuristic algorithm namely, Ant Lion Optimizer (ALO) has been applied for the first time to obtain the feasible solution. The fuzzy decision-making mechanism has been integrated to determine the Best Compromise Solution (BCS) in the multi-objective framework. The intended algorithm is implemented on the standard test systems considering valve-point effects, CO2 emission and tie-line limits.

Published: June 2017

Sweden has had a long-term political commitment to renewable energy development up until the oil crisis of the early 1970s. Oil accounted for more than 75 percent of Swedish energy supplies in 1970. Today, the figure is around 20 percent. In this study, Swedish energy system and the trend of energy consumption are analyzed to forecast total energy consumption and energy consumption in the sectors, industrial and residential, for the next ten years, therefore, most effective factors influencing energy consumption are identified in each sector. The present paper gives the additive Holt-Winter method and regression analysis, and the model selection is based on the square root of the average squared error. The results show that energy use in Swedish energy system, especially in the residential sector, will decrease between 2014 and 2024.
Contextualized Meaning Extraction
Authors: Wall Jeffrey D. , Singh Rahul
Published: June 2017

Text mining is a powerful form of business intelligence that is used increasingly to inform organizational decisions. Current text mining algorithms rely heavily on the lexical, syntactic, structural, and semantic features of text to extract meaning and insight for decision making. Although semantic analysis is a useful approach to meaning extraction, pragmatics suggests that a more accurate meaning of text can be extracted by examining the context in which the text is recorded. Given that massive amounts of textual data can be drawn from multiple and diverse sources, accounting for context is increasingly important. A conceptual model is provided to explain how concepts from pragmatics can improve existing text mining algorithms to provide more accurate information for decision making. Reversing the pragmatic process of meaning expression could lead to improved text mining algorithms. The theoretical process model developed herein can provide insight into the development and refinement of text mining algorithms that draw from diverse sources.

Authors: Praveen G.B , Raghavendra S. , Chang Victor I. C.
Published: June 2017

Sural region is called as the bottom heart of the body since it is essential for the maintenance of venous circulatory adequacy during upright posture and activity. Previous research has found that ankle joint equinus can lead to foot pathologies. The paper presents a generic methodology to compute the strain pattern in the Sural and calcaneal region during leg dorsiflexion experiment. In the experiment, the subject is made to stand on an inclination plane and images are captured at varying angular inclinations. Strain plots obtained after comparison indicates the strain distribution in the posterior compartment of sural and calcaneal regions. The experiment is then repeated for four other participants and the trends are observed. VIC-3D is used to determine the strain distribution on two important superficial components of the leg region, namely the Sural and calcaneal regions, subjected to varied degrees of foot dorsiflexion. The experiment is extremely important as the primary knowledge gained will assists us to generate muscle-tendon units which can result into better understanding of the force and energy production. Moreover, this exercise can be used to regulate the blood circulation and avoid the syndrome mentioned above.
