L’histoire entre la guerre des mémoires et la Justice
Authors: Dosse François
Published: July 2017

La question se pose de savoir si la Justice est capable de réparer le tragique de l’histoire. François Dosse situe son analyse sur l’axe pragmatique de la préoccupation citoyenne exprimée par Ricœur, dès les premières lignes de La mémoire, l’histoire, l’oubli, lorsqu’il se dit troublé par le trop de mémoire ici et le trop d’oubli ailleurs. On assiste en effet à une judiciarisation progressive de la discipline historique. Elle se traduit par une inquiétante inflation mémorielle depuis la loi Gayssot de 1990. La fonction du juge et de l’historien a certes des points communs, comme l’a montré Marc Bloch dans Apologie pour l’histoire ou Carlo Ginzburg dans Le juge et l’historien. Le juge d’instruction peut s’apparenter à l’historien, mais pas celui du siège qui doit rendre un jugement. Cette emprise progressive de la justice sur le passé a pour effet pervers une tentative de sanctuarisation des questions historiques. Ricœur nous aide à repenser les relations entre justice, histoire et mémoire en distinguant et en articulant ces diverses dimensions par un travail de clarification des concepts. Il permet de mieux articuler la fonction judiciaire, le travail de mémoire et l’opération historiographique en respectant la validité de chacune de ces dimensions.

Acuerdos de gobernabilidad para la sostenibilidad: una perspectiva regional
Authors: Schmitter Philippe C.
Published: August 2017

Propósito Considerando el Informe Brundtland y su estrategia implícita basada en  conferencias intergubernamentales y tratados a nivel global como punto de partida, este artículo sugiere una estrategia alternativa que se enfoca en los acuerdos de gobernabilidad (AG s) en lugar de en los organismos de gobierno y en el nivel regional más bien que en el global.El artículo argumenta que para que éstos funcionen efectivamente, ellos deben ser percibidos como legítimos por quienes son afectados por sus decisiones. Este artículo sostiene que esto dependerá de su conformidad con ciertos principios genéricos que regulan la constitución, composición y la toma de decisiones de tales AG s. Si éstos son exitosos en Europa, sus normas pueden ser difundidas a otras regiones del mundo.Diseño/metodología/aproximaciónEste es un artículo conceptual que presenta principios para una gobernabilidad internacional para la sostenibilidad basados en experiencias actuales con la gobernabilidad en la Unión Europea (UE).HallazgosEl artículo apunta que desde la publicación del Informe Brundtland, entre los cambios políticos/institucionales más significativos con respecto a las políticas para la sostenibilidad ambiental han estado la expansión de las competencias de la UE y el surgimiento de un umeroso y amplio conjunto de organizaciones transnacionales. El artículo muestra que este nuevo terreno institucional puede ser utilizado para forjar nuevas estrategias de gobernabilidad para la sostenibilidad.Originalidad/valorLa originalidad/valor del artículo yace en su análisis de la toma de decisiones en la UE como punto de partida de la gobernabilidad global para la sostenibilidad.Palabras clave:Gobernabilidad - Unión Europea - sostenibilidad.El artículo se centra en las precondiciones para forjar estrategias internacionales de modo de lidiar con la sostenibilidad social y ambiental.
El lenguaje populista en el poder
Authors: Campus Donatella
Published: August 2017

El artículo investiga el rol del lenguaje de la antipolítica en la propaganda política. El lenguaje populista es considerado comúnmente como una herramienta útil a la hora de antagonizar con las élites gobernantes y reemplazarlas en el poder. Menos atención se ha dedicado al uso de la imaginería populista en la canalización del consenso popular sobre proyectos de reforma política o de programas de política específicos. El artículo analiza cómo la motivación de la antipolítica entre los ciudadanos puede ser fomentada y amplificada por el gobierno y, en particular, por los líderes carismáticos, a fin de crear apoyo para reformas de la administración pública y/o la introducción de nuevas políticas económicas y sociales. El documento proporciona y discute algunos casos de líderes democráticos que utilizaron el lenguaje populista.Palabras clave: Antipolítica - populismo - líderes carismáticos.
Tecnocracia y democracia en el Chile contemporáneo: el caso de los gobiernos de la Concertación (1990-2010)
Authors: Dávila Avendaño Mireya
Published: August 2017

Se ha relacionado la influencia del conocimiento experto en el proceso de toma de decisiones en las democracias latinoamericanas con la tecnocracia. ¿Son los tecnócratas los nuevos decision makers de las democracias latinoamericanas? Este artículo analiza los ministros y subsecretarios de los gabinetes de los cuatro gobiernos de la Concertación en Chile a través del desarrollo de un perfil de tecnócratas y políticos con el objetivo de poder medir el fenómeno tecnocrático. Se sostiene que la influencia tecnocrática está mediada por la política, es decir, los tecnócratas no son independientes a ésta. El análisis de los datos confirma este argumento. De todos los ministros tecnócratas de los gobiernos de la Concertación, sólo uno era independiente.Palabras clave: Tecnocracia - Concertación - gobierno.

Published: July 2017

Objetivou-se identificar na literatura os fatores que influenciam a adesão do idoso com Diabetes Mellitus à terapêutica. Realizou-se revisão integrativa, com análise textual qualitativa. A busca ocorreu no Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, por publicações brasileiras, em oito bases de dados, no período de janeiro de 2002 a setembro de 2016. Selecionou-se 12 estudos, dos 187 encontrados, originando duas categorias: Fatores que influenciam positivamente a adesão do idoso com Diabetes Mellitus à terapêutica, e Fatores que influenciam negativamente a adesão do idoso com Diabetes Mellitus à terapêutica. Conclui-se a necessidade de mais estudos sobre a temática, pois foram encontradas apenas publicações com baixos níveis de evidências e a premência da intensificação no diálogo conscientizador com os idosos e suas famílias, no intuito de maximizar e/ou manter sua qualidade de vida, autonomia e independência.

Foreign Exchange Reserves and the Macro-economy in the GCC Countries
Authors: Azar Samih Antoine , Aboukhodor Wael
Published: August 2017

This research looks into the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves and the development of the macro-economy in the Gulf and Cooperation Council countries (GCC countries), namely, Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Using yearly data covering the period from 1996 through 2015, the empirical results show positive and significant relationships between foreign exchange reserves accumulation on one hand, and oil prices, GDP, the ratio of current account to GDP, and the ratio of broad money to GDP on the other hand. Moreover, the results point to negative and significant relationships between foreign exchange reserves accumulation on one hand, and real effective exchange rate, the ratio of debt to GDP, and call money rates on the other hand. However, the results show that the stockpile of foreign exchange reserves in the GCC countries is not sensitive to nominal effective exchange rates, neither to the ratio of imports to GDP, and nor to interest rates on the US Dollar. Furthermore, the study shows a robust and positive link between foreign exchange reserves and oil prices on the one hand and economic growth in these countries on the other hand.

Optimized Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolite Extraction and Analysis for the Geographical Discrimination of White Rice (Oryza sativa L.): A Method Comparison Study
Authors: Lim Dong Kyu , Long Nguyen Phuoc , Mo Changyeun , Dong Ziyuan , Lim Jongguk , Kwon Sung Won
Published: August 2017

In this study, we examined the effects of different extraction methods for the GC-MS- and LC-MS-based metabolite profiling of white rice (Oryza sativa L.). In addition, the metabolite divergence of white rice cultivated in either Korea or China was also evaluated. The discrimination analysis of each extraction method for white rice from Korea and China and the corresponding discriminatory markers were estimated by unpaired t-test, principal component analysis, k-means cluster analysis, partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), and random forest (RF). According to the prediction parameters obtained from PLS-DA and RF classifiers as well as features that could be identified, the extraction method using 75% isopropanol heated at 100°C coupled with LC-MS analysis was confirmed to be superior to the other extraction methods. Noticeably, lysophospholipid concentrations were significantly different in white rice between Korea and China, and they are novel markers for geographical discrimination. In conclusion, our study suggests an optimized extraction and analysis method as well as novel markers for the geographical discrimination of white rice.
Optimization of the Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Separation of Bergapten from Bergamot Essential Oil
Authors: Sicari Vincenzo
Published: August 2017

The possibility of following traditional cold-press extraction with the post process continuous separation of bergapten from bergamot essential oil was investigated. A fractionation tower was used in an experiment in which cold-pressed bergamot oil was extracted in a continuous countercurrent process by supercritical carbon dioxide under different conditions. Bergapten is fairly soluble in CO2 in its supercritical phase, in particular at a density of 277.90 kg⋅m–3, corresponding to a pressure of 8 MPa and temperature of 40°C. Under these conditions, an extract with 0.198% bergapten was obtained, a figure slightly below the percentage of bergapten contained in cold-pressed oil (0.21%). However, at densities below 200 kg⋅m–3, the amount of bergapten in the extracted oil was negligible. Of all tested conditions for separation, the best was found to be at a pressure of 8 MPa and temperature of 70°C, conditions under which bergapten was not detected. The results of the experiment showed that bergapten, and the non-volatile fraction in general, was extracted only in small quantities and was not extracted at all with at a CO2 pressure of 8 MPa.

El artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación acerca del estudio de las organizaciones en Brasil. Se revisaron 930 artículos de las tres revistas brasileras catalogadas en los rankings ISI y Scopus, referidos al estudio de las organizaciones entre 2000 y 2014. El objetivo fue elaborar un panorama general de las principales temáticas, autores y tendencias con base en tres perspectivas teóricas: Teoría Administrativa, Teoría de la Organización y Estudios Organizacionales. Para el estudio se realizó una revisión analítica de la bibliografía y se complementó con análisis de frecuencia y estudio de redes. Entre los principales resultados se evidencia una tendencia hacia la gestión organizacional de acuerdo con la perspectiva de la Teoría Administrativa (61%), seguido de una aproximación más comprensiva y crítica de los Estudios Organizacionales (23%). Asimismo, se refleja un alto grado de colaboración entre instituciones y autores, lo mismo que un desinterés por la publicación individual.
A CRIMINALIDADE NO RIO GRANDE DO SUL: UM ESTUDO SOBRE OS TIPOS DE CRIME E ASPECTOS DO DESENVOLVIMENTO REGIONAL NO PERÍODO DE 2007 A 2010
Authors: Pinto Nelson Guilherme Machado , Coronel Daniel Arruda , Bender Filho Reisoli
Published: August 2017

A criminalidade é um problema com impactos nas diversas esferas da sociedade. Além disso, há uma dificuldade em trabalhar com dados empíricos relacionados a essa temática devido à dificuldade de coletar informações sobre esses aspectos. Diante desse contexto, o objetivo do trabalho consiste em verificar os impactos do desenvolvimento regional sobre os tipos de crimes praticados no Rio Grande do Sul, considerando o período de 2007 a 2010. Especificamente, buscou-se verificar se há diferenças locais nas regiões gaúchas entre os tipos de crimes praticados: contra o patrimônio e contra pessoa. Para isso, foram desenvolvidos dois modelos analíticos, baseados em painel; o primeiro, para verificar os impactos de aspectos regionais sobre os crimes contra patrimônio e o segundo, contra a pessoa. Foram adicionadas variáveis dummies, com a finalidade de verificar diferenças regionais quanto à criminalidade nas três macrorregiões do estado: Norte, Nordeste e Sul. Os resultados indicaram que a renda mostrou-se como um dos fatores potencializadores do crime, enquanto que melhores condições de saúde tendem a reduzir a prática de atos criminosos. Em termos geográficos, a maior incidência de crimes foi constatada na região Nordeste, região com características diferenciadas de desenvolvimento local.

Vertical electrical sounding of soils and permafrost of marine terraces of Gronfjord (Svalbard archipelago)
Authors: Alekseev Ivan , Abakumov Evgeny
Published: July 2017

Vertical electrical resistivity sounding (VERS) of soil-permafrost strata has been performed during the field work within the sea terraces of Gronfjord (Svalbard archipelago, West Spitsbergen island). Vertical electrical resistivity sounding of soil-permafrost strata was performed by portable device LandMapper. Then these data have been analyzed via ZondIP software (1d model). Apparent electrical resistivity values on the soil-permafrost strata usually change rapidly. It was established that studied soils with different origin and morphological properties are referred to 2 trunks, 2 orders, 4 types and 7 subtypes. Histic Gleysols, Cryosols, Gleysols and their subtypes have been investigated within the key plots (Grendasselva, Aldegonda rivers and catena on the sea terrace in surroundings of Barentsburg aerodrome). Several trends in profile distribution of electrical resistivity values have been distinguished. The main is connected with monotonous increasing of electrical resistivity values with a depth. Values of apparent electrical resistivity increase rapidly on the border of active layer-permafrost layer. The contrasts in profile distribution of electrical resistivity values are caused mainly by differences in water content, texture class and degree of strata heterogeneity (due to cryogenic processes). The depths of active layer-permafrost boundary have been distinguished using ZondIP software. Regional differences in this indicator may be explained not only by local differences in thermal regime of soil and permafrost layers, but also by different character of anthropogenic influence on key plots. Vertical electrical resistivity sounding method provides significant information for understanding soil electrical properties without any mechanical disturbances of soil cover. The data obtained is clearly coincided with field work data on soil morphology.
Comparative analysis of Russian and Norwegian precipitation gauges, measurements in Barentsburg, Western Spitsbergen

Published: July 2017

Comparative analysis of records of two gauges with different wind shields (Tretyakov gauge and Geonor T200-B) were done, based on time series of parallel measurement in Barentsburg settlement, Svalbard, during two winter times in period from September 2014 to July 2016. All collected data of solid precipitation were divided into two ranges with different wind speed conditions. As it was known from earlier papers, Tretyakov gauge measurements tend to underestimate solid precipitation in case when precipitation is not intensive and wind speed is less than 5 m s-1. Opposite results were obtained for blizzard conditions (wind speed is more than 6 m s-1): Tretyakov gauge shows greater values for amount of solid precipitation than Norwegian sensor. Preliminary results in Barentsburg cannot be described as conclusive ones. Estimation of solid precipitation on Spitsbergen measured by different gauges needs further and more detailed research, which includes fieldwork in Barentsburg in spring, such as detailed snow surveys in the settlement.
Photosynthetic activity of Arctic Vaucheria (Xanthophyceae) measured in microcosmos
Authors: Kvíderová Jana , Elster Josef
Published: July 2017

The xanthophycean alga Vaucheria inhabits very variable, and hence extreme, ecosys-tem of polar river estuaries. Therefore, it represents a unique system for the study of adaptation/acclimatization mechanisms. Since the ecophysiological measurements cannot be performed in the field directly, a piece of Vaucheria community collected in the Adventelva estuary, Longyearbyen, Svalbard, was taken to a microcosmos in order to study it. The set of instrumentation for measurement of ecophysiological parameters was constructed for such a field study. The community structure and photosynthetic activity expressed as the dissolved oxygen concentration and effective quantum yield (and hence relative electron transfer rate) were measured. The study defined relations between encountered environmental conditions and Vaucheria photosynthetic activity in late Arctic summer. The community consisted almost entirely of Vaucheria thalli; small marine pennate diatoms were rare. The microcosmos was proved functional since the structure of the community remained unaffected. Both methods of photosynthetic activity measurement were able to record its diel changes during 10 days lasting incubation. Although only weak correlation was found between the oxygen concentration and variable chlorophyll, probably due to the time necessary for oxygen diffusion, data from fluorometers were highly correlated. The Vaucheria expressed diel cycles in the photosynthetic activity, and the photosynthetically active radiation was the main driving factor. The incubation in microcosmos proved to be suitable for ecophysiological studies which will include the addition of tidal cycles and more sophisticated protocols for photosynthetic activity measurement.
Short-term responses of primary processes in PS II to low temperature are sensitively indicated by fast chlorophyll fluorescence kinetics in Antarctic lichen Dermatocarpon polyphyllizum
Authors: Marečková Michaela , Barták Miloš
Published: July 2017

In this study, we investigated the effects of low temperature on the fast chlorophyll fluo-rescence transient (OJIP) and OJIP-derived parameters in chlorolichen Dermatocarpon polyphyllizum expossed to a gradually decreasing temperature (22°C, 18°C, 14°C, 12°C, 10°C, 7°C and 4°C). The segments of lichen thalli were exposed to a certain temperature either in dark- and light-adapted state for 10 minutes in order to evaluate the effects on chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. The initial photochemical phase of the transient (O-J) due to reduction of the primary quinone acceptor (QA) was found temperature dependent. The K-step was apparent for the samples measured at the temperature above 12°C, but not below 10oC in light-adapted lichen thalli. With the thallus temperature decrease, majority of the chlorophyll fluorescence parameters derived from OJIP (ET0/RC, Psi_0, and DI0/RC) showed no change in light-adapted samples but a decrease in dark-adapted samples. The effects of dark- / light-adaptation of the lichen samples on the OJIP and OJIP-derived parameters was attributed to the differences in production/utilization of high-energy products of primary photochemical processes of photosynthesis in dark- and light-adapted state, respectively. The other parameters (ABS/RC, TR0/RC) showed a decrease with thallus temperature decrease both in light- and dark-adapted samples. The results suggest that fast chlorophyll fluorescence trasient is an useful tool to investigate temperature-dependent changes in photosystem II in chlorolichens, their photobionts, respectively.
The Accuracy of the Sysmex UF-1000i in Urine Bacterial Detection Compared With the Standard Urine Analysis and Culture
Authors: Erdman Patrick , Anderson Brian , Zacko J. Christopher , Taylor Kirk , Donaldson Keri
Published: July 2017

Context.—

Urinary tract infections are characterized by the presence of microbial pathogens within the urinary tract. They represent one of the most common infections in hospitalized and clinic patients.

Objectives.—

To model the parameters of the Sysmex UF-1000i to the gold standard, urine culture, and to compare the detection of dipstick leukocyte esterase and nitrates to urine cultures and UF-1000i results.

Design.—

Data were compared from urine samples collected in sterile containers for bacterial culture and microscopic analysis. One sample was used to inoculate a 5% sheep blood agar and MacConkey agar plate using a 0.001-mL calibrated loop. The second sample was analyzed by urinalysis-associated microscopy. The media plates were investigated for growth after 18 to 24 hours of aerobic incubation at 37°C. The second sample was analyzed for bacteria and leukocytes with the Sysmex UF-1000i according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Three definitions for culture results, sensitivity, and specificity at different cutoff values were calculated for the UF-1000i.

Results.—

The negative predictive value for any positive culture in the adult population included in the study was 95.5%, and the negative predictive value for positive cultures containing growth of 100 000 or more colony-forming units was 99.3% using the Sysmex UF-1000i.

Conclusions.—

Sysmex UF-1000i showed 98% sensitivity and 93.7% specificity with a 95.5% negative predictive value. Thus, a negative screen with the UF-1000i using defined thresholds for white blood cell counts and bacteria was likely to be a true negative, decreasing the need for presumptive antibiotics.

Published: August 2017

Analisar a coexistência entre as condições estruturais que perdura no Território do Sisal e a emergência e o fortalecimento dos ativismos sociais é o objetivo central deste artigo. Para a leitura desse contexto espacial acionamos os termos “permanências” e “emergências”, empregados como um par dialético. As permanências manifestam-se pelo conjunto de condições estruturais e pela particularidade histórica que se forjou no Território do Sisal (Bahia)  reconhecido pela prevalência das chamadas adversidades físico-naturais atribuídas à seca, por um conjunto de indicadores socioeconômicos desfavoráveis exemplificados pelos índices de analfabetismo, desemprego, entre outros, bem como pelos esquemas de autoritarismo e clientelismo político. As emergências são reveladas na mobilização e complexificação de redes de organizações sociais, consideradas como modalidades de ativismos sociais. ABSTRACT To analyze the coexistence between remaining structural conditions in the Território do Sisal and the emergence and strengthening of social activism is the centrapurpose of this article. To read this spatial context, we used the terms "permanence" and "emergencies", employed as a dialetic pair. The permanencies are manifested by the set of structural conditions and the historical particularity that was set up in the Território do Sisal (Bahia), recognized by the prevalence of the so-called physical and natural adver - sities related to drought, by a set of unfavorable social economic indicators exemplified by illiteracy, unemployment and among others, as well as the schemes of dominion and political clientelism. Emergencies are manifested in the mobilization and complexity of networks of social organizations, considered as social activism modality. This article is a result of a documental research and interviews with the most active social organization from Território do Sisal, during the years of 2010 and 2014. As a result, it was found that the social activisms of the Sisal Territory were searching for a political and moral direction conceived by social relations based on solidary cooperation, as well as on a more horizon - tal political and productive organization, and has been fighting for democratization of planning and public administration. Keywords : social activism, permanencies, emergencies, Sisal Territory.
L’intégration économique des jeunes issus de l’immigration au Québec et au Canada
Authors: Boudarbat Brahim , Ebrahimi Pouya
Published: July 2017

Cette étude porte sur des jeunes de 15 à 29 ans que nous avons répartis en quatre groupes : les immigrants admis après l’âge de 10 ans (génération 1), ceux qui sont arrivés au pays à l’âge de 10 ans ou avant (génération 1.5), ceux qui sont nés au Canada d’au moins un parent immigrant (génération 2) et ceux qui sont nés au Canada de parents natifs de ce pays (génération 3 ou plus). Nos résultats montrent que les jeunes issus de l’immigration (générations 1, 1.5 et 2) sont en moyenne plus scolarisés que ceux de la génération 3 ou plus, tant au Québec que dans le reste du Canada. De plus, presque tous les jeunes des générations 1.5 et 2 au Québec connaissent le français, ce qui est synonyme d’une intégration linguistique des immigrants à long terme. Au chapitre de l’accès à l’emploi et des salaires, les jeunes de la génération 1 sont les plus défavorisés, et ils le sont davantage au Québec que dans le reste du Canada. Dans cette province, les jeunes des générations 1.5 et 2 affichent eux aussi des écarts sur le plan du taux de chômage et des salaires par rapport à ceux de la génération 3 ou plus, tandis que dans le reste du Canada, ces jeunes performent aussi bien — sinon mieux — que les jeunes de la génération 3 ou plus. Le Québec devra s’attacher à promouvoir l’emploi et les conditions de travail de tous ces jeunes, indépendamment de leur origine et de l’origine de leurs parents.
Valorisation des investissements ultra-longs et dÉveloppement durable
Authors: Gollier Christian
Published: July 2017

En faisons-nous assez pour les générations futures? Cette question est sous-jacente à de nombreuses questions économiques actuelles, comme celles de la réduction de la dette, de la réforme des retraites, de la lutte contre le changement climatique, de la préservation des ressources naturelles, des investissements d’infrastructure ou de la fiscalité de l’épargne par exemple. Notre responsabilité sociale envers les générations futures se traduit en termes économiques par le taux d’actualisation, qui donne une valeur au futur relativement au présent, et qui détermine l’arbitrage présent/futur des agents économiques. Si on reconnaît qu’une société court-termiste utilise un taux d’actualisation trop élevé, comment déterminer le niveau désirable de ce taux? Dans cet article, je synthétise les importants développements scientifiques récents sur ce sujet. Étant donné la baisse tendancielle de nos anticipations de croissance et les fortes incertitudes sur les évolutions longues de notre société, je recommande un taux sans risque de deux fois le taux de croissance anticipé de la consommation (pour actualiser des cash flows engendrés sur les horizons inférieurs à 20 ans) à 1 % (pour des maturités au-delà de 100 ans). La prime de risque devrait aussi avoir une structure par terme, s’étalant de 1 % à court terme jusqu’à 3 % pour le long terme.

Heterochromatin formed by the SUV39 histone methyltransferases represses transcription from repetitive DNA sequences and ensures genomic stability. How SUV39 enzymes localize to their target genomic loci remains unclear. Here, we demonstrate that chromatin-associated RNA contributes to the stable association of SUV39H1 with constitutive heterochromatin in human cells. We find that RNA associated with mitotic chromosomes is concentrated at pericentric heterochromatin, and is encoded, in part, by repetitive α-satellite sequences, which are retained in cis at their transcription sites. Purified SUV39H1 directly binds nucleic acids through its chromodomain; and in cells, SUV39H1 associates with α-satellite RNA transcripts. Furthermore, nucleic acid binding mutants destabilize the association of SUV39H1 with chromatin in mitotic and interphase cells – effects that can be recapitulated by RNase treatment or RNA polymerase inhibition – and cause defects in heterochromatin function. Collectively, our findings uncover a previously unrealized function for chromatin-associated RNA in regulating constitutive heterochromatin in human cells.

Excitatory synaptic transmission is mediated by AMPA-type glutamate receptors (AMPARs). In CA1 pyramidal neurons of the hippocampus two types of AMPARs predominate: those that contain subunits GluA1 and GluA2 (GluA1/2), and those that contain GluA2 and GluA3 (GluA2/3). Whereas subunits GluA1 and GluA2 have been extensively studied, the contribution of GluA3 to synapse physiology has remained unclear. Here we show in mice that GluA2/3s are in a low-conductance state under basal conditions, and although present at synapses they contribute little to synaptic currents. When intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels rise, GluA2/3 channels shift to a high-conductance state, leading to synaptic potentiation. This cAMP-driven synaptic potentiation requires the activation of both protein kinase A (PKA) and the GTPase Ras, and is induced upon the activation of β-adrenergic receptors. Together, these experiments reveal a novel type of plasticity at CA1 hippocampal synapses that is expressed by the activation of GluA3-containing AMPARs.

Plasma Membrane is the primary structure for adjusting to ever changing conditions. PM sub-compartmentalization in domains is thought to orchestrate signaling. Yet, mechanisms governing membrane organization are mostly uncharacterized. The plant-specific REMORINs are proteins regulating hormonal crosstalk and host invasion. REMs are the best-characterized nanodomain markers via an uncharacterized moiety called REMORIN C-terminal Anchor. By coupling biophysical methods, super-resolution microscopy and physiology, we decipher an original mechanism regulating the dynamic and organization of nanodomains. We showed that targeting of REMORINis independent of the COP-II-dependent secretory pathway and mediated by PI4P and sterol. REM-CA is an unconventional lipid-binding motif that confers nanodomain organization. Analyzes of REM-CA mutants by single particle tracking demonstrate that mobility and supramolecular organization are critical for immunity. This study provides a unique mechanistic insight into how the tight control of spatial segregation is critical in the definition of PM domain necessary to support biological function.

Background

This study was performed to compare changes in urinary incontinence (UI) symptoms and pelvic floor structure during pregnancy between nulliparous and multiparous women.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was performed among pregnant women from July 2016 to January 2017. In total, 358 pregnant women from two hospitals underwent an interview and pelvic floor transperineal ultrasound assessment. A questionnaire regarding sociodemographic, gynecological, obstetric features and the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form (ICIQ-SF) were used for the interview. Imaging data sets were analyzed offline to assess the bladder neck vertical position (BNVP), urethral angles (α, β, and γ angles), and hiatal area (HA) at rest and at maximal Valsalva maneuver (VM).

Results

After excluding 16 women with invalid data, 342 women were included. The prevalence (χ2 = 9.15, P = 0.002), frequency (t = 2.52, P = 0.014), usual amount of UI (t = 2.23, P = 0.029) and scores of interference with daily life (t = 2.03, P = 0.045) during pregnancy were higher in multiparous than nulliparous women. A larger bladder neck descent (BND) (F = 4.398, P < 0.001), HA (F = 6.977, P < 0.001), α angle (F = 2.178, P = 0.030), β angle (F = 4.404, P < 0.001), and γ angle (F = 2.54, P = 0.011) at VM were discovered in pregnant women with UI than without UI. Multiparous women had a significantly higher BND (t = 2.269, P = 0.024) and a larger α angle (F = 2.894, P = 0.004), β angle (F = 2.473, P = 0.014), and γ angle (F = 3.255, P = 0.001) at VM than did nulliparous women.

Conclusion

Multiparous women experienced more obvious UI symptoms and pelvic floor structure changes during pregnancy than did nulliparous women.

Communication is essential during social interactions including animal conflicts and it is often a complex process involving multiple sensory channels or modalities. To better understand how different modalities interact during communication, it is fundamental to study the behavioural responses to both the composite multimodal signal and each unimodal component with adequate experimental protocols. Here we test how an African cichlid, which communicates with multiple senses, responds to different sensory stimuli in a social relevant scenario. We testedMaylandia zebramales with isolated chemical (urine or holding water coming both from dominant males), visual (real opponent or video playback) and acoustic (agonistic sounds) cues during agonistic interactions. We showed that (1) these fish relied mostly on the visual modality, showing increased aggressiveness in response to the sight of a real contestant but no responses to urine or agonistic sounds presented separately, (2) video playback in our study did not appear appropriate to test the visual modality and needs more technical prospecting, (3) holding water provoked territorial behaviours and seems to be promising for the investigation into the role of the chemical channel in this species. Our findings suggest that unimodal signals are non-redundant but how different sensory modalities interplay during communication remains largely unknown in fish.

This paper describes a forward radiative transfer model and retrieval system (FMRS) for the Tropospheric Water and cloud ICE (TWICE) CubeSat instrument. We use the FMRS to simulate radiances for the TWICE's 14 millimeter‐ and submillimeter‐wavelength channels for a tropical atmospheric state produced by a Weather Research and Forecasting model simulation. We also perform simultaneous retrievals of cloud ice particle size, ice water content (IWC), water vapor content (H2O), and temperature from the simulated TWICE radiances using the FMRS. We show that the TWICE instrument is capable of retrieving ice particle size in the range of ~50–1000 μm in mass mean effective diameter with approximately 50% uncertainty. The uncertainties of other retrievals from TWICE are about 1 K for temperature, 50% for IWC, and 20% for H2O.

We examine the consistency of Indo‐Pacific decadal sea level variability in 10 gridded, observation‐based sea level products for the 1960–2010 period. Decadal sea level variations are robust in the Pacific, with more than 50% of variance explained by decadal modulation of two flavors of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (classical ENSO and Modoki). Amplitude of decadal sea level variability is weaker in the Indian Ocean than in the Pacific. All data sets indicate a transmission of decadal sea level signals from the western Pacific to the northwest Australian coast through the Indonesian throughflow. The southern tropical Indian Ocean sea level variability is associated with decadal modulations of ENSO in reconstructions but not in reanalyses or in situ data set. The Pacific‐independent Indian Ocean decadal sea level variability is not robust but tends to be maximum in the southwestern tropical Indian Ocean. The inconsistency of Indian Ocean decadal variability across the sea level products calls for caution in making definitive conclusions on decadal sea level variability in this basin.

Recent results of the first ever orbit through Jupiter's auroral region by NASA's Juno spacecraft did not show evidence of coherent acceleration in the auroral or polar region. However, in this letter, we show energetic particle data from Juno's Jupiter Energetic‐particle Detector Instrument instrument during the third auroral pass that exhibits conclusive evidence of downward parallel electric fields in portions of Jupiter's polar region. The energetic particle distributions show inverted‐V ion and electron structures in a downward electric current region with accelerated peaked distributions in hundreds of keV to ~1 MeV range. The origin of these large electric potential structures is investigated and discussed within the current theoretical framework of current‐voltage relationships at both Earth and Jupiter. Parallel electric fields responsible for accelerating particles to maintain the aurora/magnetospheric circuit appear to be a common phenomenon among strongly magnetized planets with conducting ionospheres; however, their origin and generation mechanisms are subjects of ongoing research.
