La femme en Roussillon aux XIIe et XIIIe siècles : statut juridique et économique
Authors: Verdon Laure
Published: March 2015

Die rechtliche und wirtschaftliche Stellung der Frau im Roussillon im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert.

Neuere Untersuchungen lassen auf eine Verschlechterung der rechtlichen Stellung der Frauen an der Wende zum 13. Jahrhundert schließen. Im mittelalterlichen Roussillon betraf diese Entwicklung auch ihr Recht auf die Kontrolle und Verwaltung des Familienbesitzes. Wenn die verheiratete und später verwitwete Frau auch darauf vertrauen konnte, daß ihre matérielle Sicherheit in allen ihren Lebensabschnitten gewährleistet war, so wurde ihr doch zwischen dem 12. und dem 13. Jahrhundert allmählich das Eigentumsrecht entzogen : zunächst das Eigentumsrecht am Besitz ihres Vaters, da die Mitgift in barer Münze abgegolten wurde, sodann das Eigentumsrecht am Besitz ihres Garten, da sich die Schenkung propter nupcias, die eherechtliche Vermögensübertragung, in ihrer Höhe an der Mitgift orientierte.
Les manufactures royales de draps fins du Midi toulousain et leurs entrepreneurs au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Minovez Jean-Michel
Published: March 2015

Las manufacturas reales de paños finos del Mediodía tolosano y sus empresarios en el siglo XVIII.

En el siglo XVIII, tres generaciones de empresarios se siguieron llevando la dirección de las manufacturas reales de paños finos que había creado en La Terrasse y en Auterive el mercader tolosano Jean Marcassus. Esos impresarios, impulsados por la política mercantilista de la monarquía a la que secundaba la de los Estados de Languedoc, producían con destino a Levante los « mahoux » y los « londrins » más apreciados de la región y así adquirieron riqueza y honores. Con esa riqueza y la mucha pericia que tenían, su impresa parecía muy preparada para afrontar los desafíos de la industrialización modema. Sin embargo las dos manufacturas se cerraron en 1789 y 1806 ya que la desaparición de los mercados, el aliciente de la renta de bienes raíces y la búsqueda de una posición social más halagüeña habían prevalecido para su ultimo dueño.
La gestion d'une entreprise de commercialisation du pastel toulousain au début du XVIe siècle
Authors: Casado Alonso Hilario
Published: March 2015

La gestión de una empresa de comercialización del pastel de Toulouse a principios del siglo XVI.

El presente artículo consiste en el estudio de una empresa dedicada a la explotación y comercialización del pastel de Toulouse a principios del siglo XVI. Para ello el autor analiza la numerosa documentación privada (correspondencia, contratos y, sobre todo, los libros de contabilidad) de dicha empresa hispano-francesa, consiguiendo reconstruir el día a día de ella. Por un lado, se estudia la constitución de la compañia y el capital empleado. Pero, merced a la contabilidad, se estudia con todo detalle las diversas etapas del negocio del pastel, desde sus lugares de producción y elaboración, su almacenamiento, su transporte de Toulouse a Burdeos y, posteriormente, su venta en España e Inglaterra. Se reconstruyen los balances de las diversas operaciones y, lo que apenas es existente en la historiografía, el cálculo de costes y beneficios de todas las operaciones, tanto las partiales como finales. En suma, el análisis interno y microeconómico de la gestión empresarial del negocio del pastel de Toulouse a principios del siglo XVI. grafía, el cálculo de costes y beneficios de todas las operaciones, tanto las partiales como finales.

Les mutations des lies et passeries des Pyrénées, du XIVe au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Brunet Serge
Published: March 2015

Wandlungen der Teilungsverträge in den Pyrenäen vom 14. bis zum 18. Jahrhundert.

Die historische Entwicklung der Teilungsverträge in den zentralen Pyrenäen wird hier unter Berücksichtigung der allmählichen Verfestigung der Grenzlinie untersucht, die auf die Gebräuche der beiderseitigen Bergvölker zurückwirkte. Die Blütezeit dieser Verträge liegt ohne Zweifel am Ende des Mittelalters und im 16. Jahrhundert. Sie bezogen sich nicht nur auf Weiderechte, sondern betrafen auch den Handel und die Verteidigung. Die « Zusammenschlüsse » von 1513 und 1514 müssen aus ihrer besonderen Zeitgebundenheit - der ab 1513 erfolgten Besetzung des transpyrenäischen Teils des Königreichs Navarra durch Ferdinand von Aragonien - verstanden werden. Im 17. Jahrhundert, das sowohl in Frankreich als auch in Spanien von Kriegen und Steuererhöhungen gekennzeichnet war, kam es zur einer weitgehenden Aushöhlung der Grenzprivilegien und damit auch der inhaltlichen Reichweite der Teilungsverträge. Während des friedlicheren 18. Jahrhunderts, das aber erhebliche soziale, demographische und wirtschaftliche Umwälzungen mit sich brachte, beschränkten sich die Teilungsverträge zunehmend auf eine einfache Regelung der Weiderechte. auch in Spanien von Kriegen und Steuererhöhungen gekennzeichnet war, kam es zur einer weitgehenden Aushöhlung der Grenzprivilegien und damit auch der inhaltlichen Reichweite der Teilungsverträge.

À la table des élites bordelaises du XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Meyzie Philippe
Published: March 2015

At the Table of Bordeaux's Elites in the Eighteenth Century.

The eighteenth century, veritable golden age for Bordeaux, is a good time for studying the originality of food tastes and table manners of social elites. Close to the sea, open to foreign cultural influences, with a vast hinterland offering gastronomic riches, Bordeaux had much culinary potential. Through refinement, luxury and the search for good taste, food customs appear as a social stake and as a criterion of distinction between nobility and merchant groups. By associating tradition and modernity, the tables of Bordeaux's social elites thus contributed to the emergence of a specific culinary identity.
La Légion française des combattants, ou comment comprendre la France de Vichy
Authors: Guillon Jean-Marie
Published: March 2015

La legión francesa de los combatientes o cómo entender la Francia de Vichy.

Todos están de acuerdo para considerar la Legión francesa de los combatientes como una de las creaciones más importantes de la Revolución nacional, o quizá la más importante. Es curioso notar que ha quedado arrinconada entre los investigadores. Sin embargo es el reflejo del régimen de Vichy tanto en su ideología como en su sociología, sus prácticas, su imaginario, su evolución. Su fracaso corre parejas con el del mismo régimen, pero, menos inocua de lo que se suele decir, ha sido el instrumento principal de un conato de control total de la población. Su historia, considerada desde abajo y desde el Mediodía, cuestiona esa ambition.
« Une charge très honorable » : service du roi et reconnaissance sociale en Provence orientale aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles
Authors: Piétri Valérie
Published: March 2015

Dans le cadre d’une réflexion sur la participation des élites à l’appareil d’État, les « offices moyens » paraissent révélateurs des stratégies de reconnaissance sociale d’une part des élites locales. Dans les villes dépourvues de cour souveraine, comme Draguignan et Grasse en Provence orientale, les officiers des sénéchaussées constituent le sommet de la hiérarchie sociale. L’étude des titulaires d’offices au cours des deux derniers siècles de l’Ancien Régime confirme la dimension familiale de l’exercice de ces charges, qui s’affirment comme des points d’ancrage forts de la domination locale. Il existe cependant des phénomènes de renouvellement non négligeables. Par ailleurs, la question de l’alternative entre service de l’État et service de la communauté d’habitants, entre office royal et charge municipale, permet d’éclairer les parcours de ces familles qui développent des stratégies complexes et ne négligent aucune opportunité.
Autour de la revue Mont-Segur (1896-1904) : la genèse de l’occitanisme culturel et politique
Authors: Terral Hervé
Published: March 2015

About the Mont-Segur Review (1896-1904) : the Genesis of Cultural and Political Occitanism.

Antonin Perbosc and Prosper Estieu, simple Third Republic school teachers, were set on defending the occitan language for their entire lives by their work as writers, as linguists, as historians. Their modest review Mont-Segur (1896-1904) was presented at first as the expression of a young school of the Felibrige, but it was not long in affirming itself as the voice of the cultural or even the political renaissance of all Occitania as it laid down the bases of what can be considered as cultural occitanism.
Un nouveau regard sur les marais languedociens ? La mutation de la politique des États en bas Languedoc au milieu du XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Ferrières Madeleine , Fournier Patrick
Published: March 2015

¿Una nueva visión de los pantanos languedocianos ? La mutación de la política de los Estados en el bajo Languedoc a mediados del siglo XVIII.

Al oeste de Nîmes, el pantano de Bellegarde, hoy desaparecido, forma parte del gran proyecto de desecación de las zonas húmedas del bajo Languedoc concebido en época moderna. Lleva a intervenir a varios actores : la pequeña comunidad de Bellegarde, con un nutrido núcleo de pescadores y cazadores, su señor el duque de Uzès y los Estados de Languedoc. Todos estos actores se unen a mediados del siglo XVII para hacer fracasar el proyecto. Ahora bien, menos de un siglo después, hacia 1737, el debate resurge, pero en términos muy distintos : esta vez los Estados están a favor del proyecto. Las razones de este cambio de opinión constituyen el objeto de este estudio. La presente investigación permite percibir mejor lo que está en juego y sobre todo las representaciones que cada uno se hace del ecosistema. El nuevo enfoque — de los ingenieros y también de los representantes provinciales— deja traslucir, si no una conciencia medioambiental, sí al menos una intuición de las interacciones con el medio y el entorno. Sobre todo, contribuye a afianzar la voluntad de asentar una política provincial en Languedoc.
Cultiver la mer : biodiversité marine et développement de l’ostréiculture dans le Midi méditerranéen français au XIXe siècle
Authors: Faget Daniel
Published: March 2015

Victimes d’une exploitation abusive dans la première moitié du XIXe siècle, les huîtrières naturelles du littoral méditerranéen s’éteignent de façon presque définitive sous le Second Empire. À la même époque cependant, ce coquillage, de plus en plus apprécié des consommateurs, nourrit un vaste mouvement d’intérêt et d’initiatives. Dans un contexte de pénurie relative, les pouvoirs publics, à l’origine des premières tentatives d’ostréiculture à Sète et à Toulon, s’effacent rapidement au profit d’un groupe d’entrepreneurs privés, se définissant eux-mêmes comme des « industriels de la mer » .
Anthroponymie, migrations, frontières : notes sur la « situation mozarabe » dans le Nord-Ouest ibérique (IXe-XIe siècle)
Authors: Aillet Cyrille
Published: March 2015

Namensforschung, Migrationen, Grenzen : Bemerkungen über «mozarabische Elemente » im Nordwesten der Iberischen Halbinsel (9. bis 11. Jh.).

Im Laufe des 9. bis 11. Jh. treten einzelne Regionen im Norden der Iberischen Halbinsel (Galizien, Mondego, Bierzo, Léon, die Region des Duero, das obere Ebrotal, das Tal des Àger) durch den Gebrauch arabisch-romanischer Namen her- vor. Die Verbreitung dieser Namen kann unter den christlichen Bewohnern beobachtet werden. Der Autor untersucht Ursprung und Natur der Sprachverschmelzung am Beispiel des Königreiches Léon und seiner verschiedenen Teilelemente. Zwei Erklärungsmuster bilden die Grundlage der Untersuchung : die « Grenze » als Raum der Kulturannäherung und die Migrationen als Vektoren der Kulturausbreitung, die sich wohl von den mozarabischen Bevölkerungen im Süden (al-Andalus) her ableiten lässt. Durch die Kartographierung arabisierter Namensbildungen in den von Christen beherrschten Gebieten und einer genauen Chronologie erkennt man das Gewicht und die Verbindungen beider Erklärungsmuster, formelle Charakteristika werden deutlich.
Rumeur et opinion publique à Toulouse à la fin du Moyen Âge
Authors: Nadrigny Xavier
Published: March 2015

L’opinion publique existe à Toulouse à la fin du Moyen Âge, mais seulement si l’on se fie à son acception commune : un agrégat de prises de position sur des sujets divers. L’opinion est même prise en compte par la municipalité qui, dans ses registres de délibérations, note de très nombreuses rumeurs populaires et s’en inspire pour sa politique. Mais l’opinion publique définie comme instance critique et légitime est presque inexistante. Le pouvoir municipal accepte certaines critiques de la part du peuple, mais seulement lorsque ce dernier prend la défense d’entités supérieures et sacrées, la res publica, la royauté et le roi. Le tabou qui entoure le pouvoir souverain explique la censure des rumeurs qui manqueraient de respect à son égard. Plusieurs indices suggèrent une impopularité réelle des rois et de leurs officiers dans la population, mais celle-ci est masquée par une documentation publique qui doit donner de la ville une image policée et conforme.
L’introduction du français en domaine occitan (XVe-XVIIe siècle) : bilan provisoire et perspective de recherche
Authors: Courouau Jean-François
Published: March 2015

La introducción del francés en el dominio occitano (siglos XV-XVII) : balance provisional y perspectivas de investigación.

La tesis antigua de Auguste Brun sobre la introducción del francés en el Mediodía de Francia (1923) tiene que reactualizarse teniendo en cuenta los trabajos que se han llevados a cabo desde hace unos treinta años sobre territorios más reducidos, siguiendo el estudio ejemplar sobre Burdeos de Gilda Nacq (1979). Al centrarse en los escritos notariales o, a falta de esos, administrativos en sentido amplio, se puede apreciar más precisamente el anticiparse o aplicar con tardanza la ordenanza de Villers-Cotterets (1539). Cabe distinguir dos tipos de fenómenos distintos : la aparición del francés que puede ser precoz (en medio del siglo xV en los grandes centros urbanos) y la desaparición del occitano que tarda mucho a veces (en el siglo xVII, en ciertas zonas de Provenza, en Rouergue o en Bigorra). El paso al francés puede estimarse en marcos de décados y podrían documentarse y a cierto plazo, cartografiarse de modo preciso los cambios sociolingüísticos que se dan en esa parte del reino de Francia entre los siglos xV y xVII.
Une jeunesse soumise ? Les familles des élites bordelaises au XVIIIe siècle
Authors: Minvielle Stéphane
Published: March 2015

De nombreux historiens ont pris l’habitude de considérer que, sous l’Ancien Régime, les familles des élites formaient une population qui contrôlait fortement ses jeunes, essentiellement par le biais de stratégies destinées à assurer au mieux une reproduction sociale de génération en génération. Elles avaient pour cela divers moyens, comme l’éducation qu’elles leur donnaient, le fait de jouer un rôle déterminant dans le choix des conjoints de leurs enfants ou en limitant autant que possible leur indépendance matérielle après le mariage. Ainsi, pour de très nombreux jeunes, il était bien difficile de se défaire d’une situation de dépendance prolongée à l’égard de leurs parents. Pourtant, dans les élites bordelaises du XVIIIe siècle, si le schéma habituel d’une jeunesse soumise semble s’imposer en apparence, d’autres comportements invitent à nuancer le propos, à la fois car de nombreux jeunes perdent rapidement leurs parents mais aussi, voire surtout, parce que certains n’hésitent pas à s’élever contre l’autorité parentale pour imposer leurs choix et se donner les moyens d’avoir la vie à laquelle ils aspirent.
Le traitement administratif des Tsiganes dans les Landes (1895-1946)
Authors: Filhol Emmanuel
Published: March 2015

Le recensement général de 1895 de tous les «nomades, Bohémiens et vagabonds » , la surveillance et le fichage des nomades par les Brigades régionales de police mobile créées en 1907 à l’initiative de Clemenceau, la loi de juillet 1912 relative à l’institutionnalisation du carnet anthropométrique d’identité, un système discriminatoire et disciplinaire mis en pratique pendant près de soixante ans, constituent autant d’étapes qui jalonnent le dispositif d’identification et de contrôle utilisé par la France républicaine envers les Tsiganes des Landes. Au début de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les «nomades » landais, comme les familles circulant dans les autres départements, sont assignés à résidence le 6 avril 1940, tandis que quelques-uns d’entre eux aboutissent en novembre 1940 au camp de Mérignac (Gironde) sur ordre de l’occupant allemand, avec la complicité du régime de Vichy. Après la Libération, les Tsiganes encore internés, ou assignés à résidence, doivent patienter jusqu’en mai 1946 pour retrouver leur entière liberté.
Compoix et aménagement du territoire en Languedoc (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle)

Published: March 2015

Kadaster und Raumplanung im Languedoc, 16. - 18. Jh.

Die Kadaster aus dem Languedoc sind schon seit langem eine Quelle für die Wirtschafts-und Sozialgeschichte und für die Rekunstruierungsversuche der alten Landgrenzen. Heute aber rücken sie in den Blickwinkel der Historiker, die sich für die Umwelt interessieren. Die umfangreichen Kadaster zeugen von einem sich verändernde Verhätnis der Menschen zu ihrem Land : nicht nur die Landgröße und die Gebäude zählten für das Steueraufkommen. Die Kadaster aus dem Languedoc sind ein außergewöhnliches Hilfmittel für die Verwaltung und Steuerung des geographischen Umfelds und seiner Gebräuche. Durch ihre Beweglichkeit bilden diese Kadaster eine gute Quelle auch für die Raumordnung der Provinz Languedoc zu verschiedenen Zeiten und dient daher den Historikern der Umwelt im weitesten Sinne.
Contrôle royal de l’espace et rivalités urbaines : la viguerie de Béziers et son démembrement au XIVe siècle
Authors: Sassu-Normand David
Published: March 2015

Le Languedoc du XIVe siècle voit l’achèvement de la mise en place des cadres territoriaux de l’administration royale installée au siècle précédent. Cet article présente l’exemple de la viguerie de Béziers, démantelée à la suite des réclamations de différentes villes soucieuses de disposer elles aussi de sièges royaux. Ceux-ci sont à la confluence des besoins des habitants, de la volonté de prestige et de revenus des villes, mais aussi de considérations politiques variées. La présence permanente d’officiers royaux dans les villes sert en effet les velléités d’autonomie des consulats vis-à-vis des pouvoirs traditionnels, qu’ils soient laïques ou ecclésiastiques, ce qui s’accommode bien avec les objectifs politiques et fiscaux des souverains. Le partage de la viguerie de Béziers en territoires de taille plus modeste est par conséquent l’occasion d’une vive rivalité entre plusieurs villes bas-languedociennes, mais aussi d’expérimentations relatives aux critères choisis pour mettre en oeuvre le découpage territorial.
Updated list of the mosquitoes of Colombia (Diptera: Culicidae)
Authors: Rozo-Lopez Paula , Mengual Ximo
Published: March 2015

A revised list of the mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) known to occur in Colombia is presented. A total of 324 species from 28 genera of Culicidae are included. The species names are organized in alphabetical order according to the current generic and subgeneric classification, along with their authorship. The list is compiled in order to support mosquito research in Colombia.

Our systematic review and literature survey found, by 16 February 2015, 13 records of culicid species previously overlooked by mosquito catalogs for Colombia: Anopheles costai da Fonseca & da Silva Ramos, 1939, An. fluminensis Root, 1927, An. malefactor Dyar & Knab, 1907, An. shannoni Davis, 1931, An. vargasi Galbadón, Cova García & Lopez, 1941, Culex mesodenticulatus Galindo & Mendez, 1961, Haemagogus capricornii Lutz, 1904, Isostomyia espini (Martini, 1914), Johnbelkinia leucopus (Dyar & Knab, 1906), Mansonia indubitans Dyar & Shannon, 1925, Psorophora saeva Dyar & Knab, 1906, Sabethes glaucodaemon (Dyar & Shannon, 1925), and Wyeomyia intonca Dyar & Knab, 1909. Moreover, Wyeomyia (Dendromyia) luteoventralis Theobald, 1901 is recorded for Colombia for the first time. This work provides important insights into mosquito diversity in Colombia, using the current nomenclature and phylogenetic rankings.

The Availability and Effectiveness of Residential Treatment for Persistent Mental Illness
Authors: Knable Michael B. , Cantrell Caroline , Meer Aaron Vander , Levine Eric
Published: March 2015

We surveyed residential treatment centers (RTCs) providing 24-hour supervision for people with mental illnesses or substance abuse and estimate that there are approximately 4.75 beds per 100,000 people in the United States—a number that is significantly lower than that found in some European countries. We also identified 42 private RTCs specifically designed for the rehabilitation of young adults with persistent mental illnesses, and the characteristics of these programs are summarized in this article. Furthermore, we estimate that the number of beds in the United States available for 24-hour supervised care, whether in public or private hospitals or in residential centers, is approximately 34.8 per 100,000, which is significantly below some estimates of the need for these services. Although the literature on this subject is sparse, we also provide a brief review on the efficacy of residential treatment and describe experience with an initial cohort treated at Clearview Communities, a residential rehabilitation center in Maryland for adults with various mental disorders.

Assertive Community Treatment: A “Living-Systems” Alternative to Hospital and Residential Care
Authors: Ellenhorn Ross
Published: March 2015

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a widely researched method for serving individuals suffering from severe and persistent psychiatric issues. Endorsed by both governmental and public advocacy groups as an evidence-based best practice, it is generally accepted as a state-of-the-art approach to long-term care. This article describes ACT within a “living-systems” framework. Influenced by the work of Gregory Bateson, it argues that this framework offers a useful epistemological pivot for both understanding the effective-ness of ACT and also how ACT teams can stray from delivering effective treatment.

Case Management: A New Approach
Authors: Talisman Nick , Kaltman Stacey , Davis Kimberly , Sidel Steve , Akil Mayada , Alter Carol
Published: March 2015

The high prevalence of mental illness has led to a pressing public health need in the United States that is compounded by a lack of access to adequate mental health care. Case management has helped to bridge the gap between need and access to care. Although there is evidence to support case management’s effectiveness, the field lacks procedural rigor. By adopting key tenets of the Chronic Care Model, including the systematic identification of symptomatic and functional areas of need, a consistent intervention linking the assessment to intervention targets, and outcome tracking, case management has the potential to emerge as an effective and scalable intervention. “Mindoula.com,” a multi-technology platform case management solution developed by Mindoula Health, Inc., addresses the shortcomings of traditional case management by utilizing data to identify intervention targets and to track outcomes by harnessing the power of technology to increase the cost-efficiency of the services provided.

Understanding the Perspectives of Family Members on Telephone Intervention for Individuals With Schizophrenia: Results of a Focus Group
Authors: Beebe Lora Humphrey , Schuman David W.
Published: March 2015

The current study explored the perspectives of family members of individuals with schizophrenia to identify family needs. Six family members from the National Alliance on Mental Illness participated in a 90-minute focus group to share their perspectives on treatment needs and delivery options and to provide suggestions on needs that might be met using telephone-based treatment. Traditional atheoretical content analysis was performed. Five major themes emerged from the data: (a) isolation, (b) negative emotions, (c) recognition of illness, (d) communication with providers, and (e) problem solving. Findings indicate that families perceive needs that could potentially be met using telephone-based treatments. More research is needed to determine family responses to telephone-based treatment initiatives. [

Aspergillus
, Angiogenesis, and Obesity: The Story Behind Beloranib
Authors: Howland Robert H.
Published: March 2015

Fumagillin, an antimicrobial compound first isolated in 1949 from the fungus
Aspergillus fumigatus
, four decades later was unexpectedly found to inhibit angiogenesis. Interest in developing angiogenesis inhibitor drugs as possible treatments for cancer led to the synthesis of analogs of fumagillin. Preclinical studies of various analog drugs confirmed that they inhibited angiogenesis, but they also were associated with weight loss as an adverse effect. Because adipose tissue can grow and regress throughout adulthood, is highly vascularized, and has angiogenic properties, interest in investigating anti-angiogenic agents in animal models of obesity found that fumagillin analogs caused dose-dependent reversible weight reduction and adipose tissue loss. Beloranib, a fumagillin analog that is an angiogenesis inhibitor and associated with decreased adiposity in animals, has been studied in phase I clinical trials for cancer. It is currently being investigated for the treatment of obesity and related conditions. Three phase I and three phase II studies found significant degrees of weight loss and acceptable tolerability for beloranib compared to placebo, justifying further clinical development of the drug for obesity.

Day 1 Wavefront Aberrometry for Prediction of Refractive Outcomes at Year 1 in Myopic LASIK
Authors: Yu Charles Q. , Manche Edward E.
Published: March 2015

PURPOSE:

To determine amount of change in wavefront aberrometric measurements from 1 day to 1 year after myopic LASIK.

METHODS:

One hundred five eyes of 105 patients underwent wavefront-guided LASIK. Objective wavefront aberrometric refractions were recorded preoperatively, at postoperative day 1, and at postoperative year 1. Subjective manifest refractions were also collected at postoperative year 1.

RESULTS:

When comparing objective wavefront aberrometric refractions at postoperative year 1 to postoperative day 1, there was a mean 0.33 diopter spherical equivalent myopic shift. There was no significant difference in the number of eyes within 1.00 diopter of emmetropia spherical equivalent measured by wavefront aberrometric refraction at postoperative day 1 or year 1. There was a correlation of R
2
= 0.14 between degree of preoperative myopia and myopic shift. Higher-order aberrations were overall not increased at day 1 but increased significantly by year 1. Objective aberrometric refractions at postoperative day 1 can be useful in prediction of long-term refractive outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS:

There is a small myopic shift and an increase in higher-order aberrations when comparing wavefront aberrometry results at postoperative day 1 with those at postoperative 1 year.

Corneal Topographic Astigmatism (CorT) to Quantify Total Corneal Astigmatism
Authors: Alpins Noel , Ong James K. Y. , Stamatelatos George
Published: March 2015

PURPOSE:

To evaluate the performance of corneal topographic astigmatism (CorT) based on total corneal power measurements.

METHODS:

Anterior, posterior, and total corneal power measurements of 526 virgin eyes obtained using the CSO Sirius tomographer (Costuzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Scandicci, Florence, Italy) were analyzed. Individual CorTs were created from each set of data. These CorTs were assessed using ocular residual astigmatism (ORA), which quantifies corneo-refractive differences. A low standard deviation of the ocular residual astigmatism (ORAsd) indicates a low variability between corneal astigmatism and refractive cylinder. A low mean of the ORA magnitude indicates a close correlation of refractive cylinder and corneal astigmatism.

RESULTS:

The CorT based on total corneal power measurements had an ORAsd of 0.30 diopters (D) and a mean ORA magnitude of 0.53 D. The CorT candidates based on anterior corneal power measurements all had an ORAsd of at least 0.32 D, and the mean ORA magnitudes were all 0.64 D or greater. Both the ORAsd and mean ORA magnitude of the CorT based on total corneal power measurements were significantly less than those of the CorT based on anterior corneal power measurements (both
P
< .001, as estimated via bootstrapping).

CONCLUSIONS:

The CorT based on total corneal power measurements corresponds better, both in variability and closeness, with manifest refractive cylinder than the CorT based on anterior corneal power measurements. This total CorT would be fundamental when planning toric intraocular lenses or limbal relaxing incisions or other corneal astigmatic surgery.

Comparison of Corneal Shape Changes and Aberrations Induced By FS-LASIK and SMILE for Myopia
Authors: Gyldenkerne Anders , Ivarsen Anders , Hjortdal Jesper Ø.
Published: March 2015

PURPOSE:

To compare corneal curvatures, corneal power calculations, and higher-order aberrations (HOAs) of femtosecond laser-assisted LASIK (FS-LASIK) with small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) following surgery for moderate to high myopia.

METHODS:

A retrospective study of 736 eyes of 368 patients treated with SMILE and 148 eyes of 74 patients treated with FS-LASIK. Preoperative mean spherical equivalent was −7.3 ± 1.5 diopters in the SMILE group and −7.6 ± 1.3 diopters in the FS-LASIK group. Corneal curvatures, corneal power calculations performed by ray tracing, and HOAs measured with Scheimpflug technology before and 3 months after surgery were analyzed.

RESULTS:

Corneal curvatures changed significantly in the anterior corneal surface, but not in the posterior corneal surface, in both groups; after SMILE, the sagittal curvature was constant for the central 4-mm diameter, in contrast to FS-LASIK where the curvature showed a gradual steepening with increasing diameter. Corneal power calculations were different across the cornea depending on the measurement diameter between the two groups postoperatively. Measured over a 5-mm zone on the total cornea, FS-LASIK induced 0.11
µ
m more coma (
P
< .001) and 0.13
µ
m higher spherical aberration (
P
< .001) as compared to SMILE; similar results in other HOAs were seen for the anterior corneal surface. Negligible differences in HOAs were induced on the posterior corneal surface.

CONCLUSIONS:

SMILE and FS-LASIK produced distinct changes in anterior corneal shape evident in different postoperative corneal curvatures and power measurements between the two groups. Postoperative HOAs were much lower after SMILE as compared to FS-LASIK.

Prevalence of Moderate to Severe Obesity Among U.S. Nursing Home Residents, 2000–2010
Authors: Felix Holly C. , Bradway Christine , Chisholm Latarsha , Pradhan Rohit , Weech-Maldonado Robert
Published: March 2015

Obesity rates are high among all age groups, including older adults. Obesity negatively affects health and functional ability, increasing the risk for nursing home (NH) admission. The current study examines trends over 11 years in moderate to severe obesity rates among NH residents. A generalized least squares regression model for panel data was used to test the effect of time (years) on the rates. A significant increase in rates and significant variation in rates were observed. Little research has focused on the issue of obesity in NHs. High and increasing rates and variation in rates raise questions on demand and access to NH care for obese older adults. Additional research is needed to consider factors other than time that may affect NHs’ ability to admit moderate to severely obese individuals. Understanding these trends will help NHs prepare for future demand, ensure equal access, quality care, and financing of services.

The RCTM is a six-session, 4-month psychosocial intervention designed to help families manage their emotional and psychological distress following residential care placement of a cognitively impaired relative. Seventeen family caregivers of relatives in a nursing home or assisted living memory care unit were randomly assigned to the RCTM treatment condition and 19 family caregivers were assigned to a usual care control group. Caregivers in the treatment condition reported significantly (
p
< 0.05) less emotional distress at 4 and 8 months on self-reported surveys than those in the control group. Post-RCTM focus groups emphasized the importance of readily available psychosocial support for families following the placement transition. The findings suggest that the provision of skilled psychosocial support can help families manage emotional distress and crises in the months following a cognitively impaired relative’s admission to residential long-term care.

Published: March 2015

The UEs at the edge of the cell in TD-LTE-Advanced system suffer from a poor communication quality invariably. In this paper, a novel relay mechanism, called Device-to-Device mobile relay (D2DMR), is proposed. In the D2DMR mechanism, the UE at the edge of the cell or in a poor coverage area can communicate with eNodeB via another UE’s relay. The link between these two UEs is established in the Device-to-Device (D2D) communication mode. The D2DMR mechanism can expand the cell coverage and improve the system capacity of TD-LTE-Advanced system with little interference. Numerical analysis and simulation results show that the D2DMR mechanism can improve the throughput of the TD-LTE-Advanced system greatly.

Authors: Hu Min , Wang Shi Wei , Yang Fan
Published: March 2015

MPTCP data transfer under asymmetric heterogeneous network conditions has known problems related to receiver’s buffer blocking, caused by out of order packet arrival. In order to solve the problem, we propose a novel scheduling algorithm for multipath transport called Delay-Aware and Self-Adaptive Packet Scheduling for MPTCP, which distributes data to different paths over asymmetric heterogeneous network based on their transmission delay, which is a key factor to the whole performance. Meanwhile, the transmission DSN will also be considered. The results show that the scheduling algorithm can reduce the receiver’s buffer occupancy, improve the throughput significantly and adapt the performance differences among the subflows well in MPTCP.
