La avenida de la luz, una calle subterránea en Barcelona
Authors: Xalabarder Aulet María
Published: July 2018

La Avenida de La Luz, una calle subterránea de Barcelona.—El artículo que se presenta estudia la formación y desarrollo de la Avenida de la Luz, un espacio singular y destacado de Barcelona, tanto por su condición de subterráneo, como por su peculiar evolución histórica y los diferentes usos que ha acogido en su interior. Nació como una galería comercial de lujo en años de penuria y restricción, y a pesar de su deterioro y transformaciones posteriores, ha perdurado como la calle subterránea de la ciudad. El texto reflexiona también sobre el proceso de electrificación en Barcelona, evaluando su destacado impacto socio-cultural y urbanístico. Del mismo modo se realiza una aproximación a los cambios producidos en la estructura comercial de la ciudad, las nuevas formas de comercio, y la creación de nuevos espacios de consumo, desde la apertura de la Avenida de la Luz en 1940 hasta la actualidad.

[fr] Avenue de la Lumière, une rue souterraine de Barcelone.—L'article présenté étudie la formation et développement de la Avenida de la Luz, un espace particulier et notable de Barcelona, par sa condition de souterraine, mais aussi du point de vue de sa propre évolution historique et de ses différentes utilisations. Elle est apparue, à une époque de pénurie et de restrictions, comme une galerie commerciale de luxe, et malgré la dégradation et les transformations postérieures, elle demeure la rue souterraine de la ville. Le texte propose également une reflexion sur le processus d'electrification de Barcelone, détachant l'impact remarquable au niveau socio-cultural et urbanistique. De la même façon, cet article effectue une approche concernant les modifications apportées quant à la structure commerciale de la ville, nouvelles formes de commerce, et création de nouveaux espaces de consommation, depuis l'overture de la Avenida de la Luz en 1940 jusqu'à nos jours.

Cambios en el comercio exterior de los países del este. La difícil reinserción en Europa
Authors: Viruela Martínez Rafael
Published: July 2018

Cambios en el comercio exterior de los países del Este. La difícil reinserción en Europa. Los cambios políticos y económicos en Europa del Este, el desmantelamiento del CAEM, la desintegración de la URSS, y la distensión en las relaciones internacionales han modificado la dirección de los flujos comerciales de los países postcomunistas. Si durante los cuarenta años de vigencia del CAEM la región estuvo volcada hacia la URSS, en la actualidad el Este mira hacia el Oeste, en particular hacia la Unión Europea y más concretamente hacia Alemania. La composición de las importaciones y exportaciones revela la acusada dependencia de Europa central y oriental, primero de la Unión Soviética y en la actualidad de Alemania-UE. El éxito de las reformas emprendidas exige una mayor cooperación interregional

Κραδίᾳ γνωστὸς ἔνεστι τύπος (Meleager, Anth. Pal. 5.212.4): Self-Reflexive Engagement with Lyric Topoi in Erotic Epigram
Authors: Höschele Regina
Published: July 2018

Sarah Mace, in a 1993 article, brilliantly traced the usage of δηὖτε in Archaic lyric, where the widespread topos of “Love . . . yet again” not only evoks the speaker’s personal experience of repeated erotic desire, but also the recurrence of love’s overwhelming onset throughout the genre. When Hellenistic epigrammatists write about their eros several centuries later, they manifestly engage with this and other lyric topoi, marking their experience of love as something well-known from the erotic tradition: it is not least the knowledge of their lyric models that enables them (and their readers) to correctly diagnose amatory symptoms and identify erotic symbols as such. Although such metapoetic play is something we readily associate with Hellenistic poetry, the potential for self-conscious evocation of the poetic tradition and generic conventions is already inherent in Archaic lyric itself. The present article looks at these earlier instances of self-reflexivity in comparison with the modes of allusion we encounter in erotic epigrams. By delineating similarities and differences in the generic and/or intertextual self-awareness of Archaic and Hellenistic poets, it hopes to shed new light on the inner workings of allusion in different literary contexts.
De la ontología del género femenino y las estrategias de la mascara-de en la obra de Marvel Moreno : conflictos de identidad y violencia de la representación en Colombia
Authors: L. Natalia Vélez
Published: July 2018

Este artículo indaga al ser del género femenino, tal como es evidenciado en el discurso literario de la autora colombiana Marvel Moreno. Recurro a Lacan y su concepción sobre las prácticas significantes expuestas en el simbolismo del lenguaje, articulado por la ley paterna, y las diferencias de sexo y género según su dimensión cultural. Esta ontología indaga al “ser” -del Falo-, sentido que consiente la ley, según el cual la diferencia sexual es ininteligible. El “ser” o “tener” el Falo, anuncian posiciones sexuales imposibles dialécticamente. Moreno trabaja esta concepción en las representaciones del lenguaje masculinizado de disyunción binaria, entre “ser” y “tener”, mediadas por el poder del sexo dominante y la represión (mascara-de) constituyente del sujeto femenino. Sostengo que estas representaciones discursivas de la dialéctica “ser”-“tener”, enmarcan la paradoja del desarrollo de la sociedad colombiana de los años noventa : la consagración de los derechos fundamentales en la Constitución de 1991, acompañada del recrudecimiento de la violencia política y un aumento en los índices de conflictos socioculturales ; la violencia de representación y la incorporación jerárquica del “yo” sobre los otros. Esta violencia representacional, antecede y acompaña procesos identitarios de subculturas “extremas”, necesitadas de manifestarse a través del conflicto armado.
El Dorado, l’Eldorado dans l’imaginaire des artistes de théâtre colombien, serait-il un trésor mal investi ? (Réflexions sur un aperçu historiographique)
Authors: Cobo Olga Lucia
Published: July 2018

Les rapports entre le théâtre et les peuples amérindiens en Colombie sont indissociables de l’évolution politique et sociale du pays. Suivant le cours des événements à toutes les époques, les arts scéniques colombiens semblent énoncer l’histoire à voix haute. Cette communication présente un aperçu de l’histoire du théâtre en Colombie du XIVe jusqu’au début du XXIe siècle, afin d’analyser les transformations du regard que les arts scéniques du pays portent sur les peuples amérindiennes et la place que cet art, éminemment occidental, accorde à leurs traditions.Dans cette relation interculturelle la scène théâtrale colombienne a toujours été un lieu d’échanges et de rencontres mais elle a aussi prêté ses lumières à la manipulation et à l’effacement de l’Autre.Les éléments réunis permettront d’ouvrir une réflexion sur le défi que notre époque et ses événements présentent aux artistes de théâtre colombien, notamment dans la construction de la paix sociale sur les bases de véritables dialogues inter-culturaux.
L’Archive comme lieu de mémoire : l’assassinat de Jorge Eliécer Gaitán le 9 avril 1948 et la vision particulière de Ricardo Restrepo dans l’essai filmique Cesó la horrible noche (2013)
Authors: de la Cruz Lichet Virginia
Published: July 2018

On April 9th, 1948, the liberal leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán should be roughly assassinated on the streets of Bogotá. Further to it, a spontaneous revolution in the city for four days, historical instant known by ElBogotazo should start. On the traces of this historical fact that marked the beginning of the period of violence in Colombia, this reflexion rebuilds events from the iconic picture of the leader just after gunshots. On the traces of an immoderate violence, the documentary essay of Ricardo Restrepo, Cesó la horrible noche (2014) allows to put in picture what the Colombians have lived for these four days, but especially what they saw as witnesses. The different stories gathered by Arturo Alape in his bookEl Bogotazo. Memorias del olvido (2016) and movie on 16mm film by Roberto Restrepo, Ricardo Restrepo’s grandfather, filmed for these days, are documents collected today allowing to reconstruct facts and to rewrite this history. The analysis of the film gives another vision of this historical fact, with a personal version of the film-maker, more aesthetic but at the same time visionary, allowing to question on the future of its country.
Joies et tristesses des pauvres dans l’épopée française en vers du XIVe siècle
Authors: Collomp Denis
Published: July 2018

L’épopée française classique fait peu de place aux habitants des villes, et encore moins aux pauvres et aux mendiants. Les chansons de geste en vers du XIVe siècle dépeignent cette faune urbaine en y confrontant les héros et surtout les héroïnes. Au-delà de l’impression de conflit social et de jugement moral suscité par les joies et les peines de ces défavorisés, le comportement chrétien des protagonistes est source d’édification.
Les mots du « peuple » dans le Calepino
Authors: Charlet-Mesdjian Béatrice , Ferradou Carine
Published: July 2018

Cet article étudie d’un point de vue lexicologique et sémantique les mots latins correspondant à la notion de peuple : gens, natio, plebs, populus, proletarii, turba et vulgus dans le dictionnaire plurilingue de Calepino, à travers quatre éditions-témoins représentatives de ses divers lieux d’impression et de la période concernée (XVIe-XVIIIe s.) : Lyon, 1578 (sept langues) ; Bâle, 1584 (huit langues) ; Paris, 1606 (huit langues) ; Padoue, 1752 (sept langues).
La signification théologique de la notion de peuple au XVe siècle chez Marsile Ficin
Authors: Roche-Grandpierre Élisabeth
Published: July 2018

Le terme populus n’apparaît qu’une seule fois chez Ficin. À première vue ce fait semble s’opposer à l’élaboration d’une réflexion spécifique et autonome sur la notion de peuple. Cependant de nombreux synonymes du mot attestent la présence d’une thématique politique. En effet, Ficin réussit à croiser et à conjuguer des thèmes traditionnels et antiques pour élaborer une conception théologique de la notion de peuple qui joue le rôle d’un modèle transcendant par rapport aux peuples terrestres. Ainsi, une nouvelle dimension politique émerge par laquelle l’autorité du passé rend possible la cohésion des hommes.
Le peuple absent
Authors: Kermele Nejma
Published: July 2018

Cet article s’interroge sur la manière dont les Espagnols ont pu envisager la notion de peuple et parler des communautés politiques notamment indigènes en Amérique hispanique, plus particulièrement dans la jeune vice-royauté du Pérou au XVIe siècle. Il s’agit d’examiner, en prenant comme support quelques discours historiques produits en Amérique le vocabulaire employé, ses différentes acceptions, ses implications pour tenter d’éclairer une pensée qui naviguait entre deux mondes, entre empire et colonisation.
La notion de « peuple » dans le Quichotte
Authors: Borrego Manuel
Published: July 2018

Même si la notion de « peuple » n’apparaît pas très fréquemment dans Don Quichotte, son étude permet d’en tirer au moins deux leçons. En premier, que le discours politique nourrissant un certain nombre de chapitres du roman contient une intéressante réflexion sur les rapports entre les gouvernants et le peuple. En effet, le peuple ne serait pas compris dans ce texte de la manière dont le faisaient bon nombre d’écrivains politiques de l´époque ; c’est-à-dire, comme s’il ne s’agissait que d’une masse irrationnelle qu’un pouvoir très éloigné devait traiter à l’aune de son inculture et de son manque de lucidité. Les conversations entre don Quichotte et Sancho montrent plutôt la nécessité qu’a le gouvernant de tout mettre en œuvre pour être apprécié du peuple – tout particulièrement d’un point de vue moral – au risque, autrement, de perdre son pouvoir. Le deuxième enseignement serait que Cervantès n’a eu de cesse de s’intéresser, en tant qu’humaniste et homme de lettres, à la partie la moins cultivée de ses lecteurs. Il considérait que les écrivains avaient le devoir de contribuer à la culture et à la moralité du plus grand nombre, alors que ceux qu’il critique – ou qui sont critiqués par certains de ses personnages – prenaient l’option, plus facile et profitable, de s’adapter à leur public et lui servir ce qu’il appelle des « marchandises à vendre ».
La Révolution de Naples : Les dix jours de Masaniello (1647)
Authors: Nardone Jean-Luc
Published: July 2018

Le point de départ de mon intervention sera l’ouvrage que j’ai publié en 2010, La Révolution de Naples. Les dix jours de Masaniello, première traduction française du texte d’Alessandro Giraffi témoin oculaire de la révolution, ou tumulte, qui en dix jours porte le miséreux Masaniello des bas-fonds de la ville à son sommet puis qui le conduit à la mort. Naples est alors la deuxième plus grande ville d’Europe et cet épisode demeure extraordinaire. Dans la lecture du récit de Giraffi, je porterai mon attention tout particulièrement à la description du peuple et aux bruits de cette révolte populaire. Par ailleurs, je compte m’appuyer aussi sur un texte inédit à ce jour à savoir un manuscrit que j’ai repéré à la Bibliothèque universitaire de Bologne : une Lettera della Rivoluzione di Napoli dont je propose la première édition critique en annexe de mon article.
Le « peuple » sous la monarchie de Louis XIII
Authors: Ferretti Giuliano
Published: July 2018

Cette contribution éclaire la vision négative que les élites françaises du premier XVIIe siècle eurent du peuple. Au cours de la construction de la monarchie absolue, ce dernier fut constamment considéré comme un être à exploiter. Ce ne fut qu’à la fin du ministériat de Richelieu que des critiques attaquèrent ouvertement ce modèle.
La « Bibliothèque démocratique » (1869-1877)
Authors: Dimopoulou Barbara
Published: July 2018

Dans une perspective entre l’histoire de l’édition et l’histoire des idées, nous nous proposons d’étudier le catalogue de la collection « Bibliothèque démocratique » qui met au centre de son programme la question de l’instruction du peuple. Ce débat, ouvert pendant la Révolution française, rejoint celui sur l’alphabétisation massive de la population au cours du XIXe siècle, et se poursuit bien au-delà des lois Jules Ferry sur l’instruction publique, laïque et obligatoire. Le projet éditorial de la collection étudiée, sous-tendu d’un projet politique et idéologique clairement affiché, prend corps sous l’impulsion de Victor Poupin (1838-1906), son directeur-fondateur, homme de lettres engagé et député de la gauche radicale du Jura (1885-1898). La collection, qui compte une centaine de titres, accueille cinq ouvrages de son fondateur, ainsi que des ouvrages d’auteurs contemporains plus ou moins célèbres… Nous tenterons d’évaluer, par l’examen de titres phares de la collection, les enjeux intellectuels qui justifient l’inscription de telle ou telle œuvre dans la collection, ainsi que l’apport de ces œuvres à la réflexion autour d’une instruction « utile » plutôt qu’« utilitaire ».
La société rioplatense et la place du peuple indigène durant le XIXe siècle
Authors: Gómez Gérard
Published: July 2018

La région du Río de la Plata – qui est par la suite devenue l’Argentine – obtint son indépendance en 1816. Elle fut marquée par l’ascendance culturelle et par les revendications des peuples autochtones qui tentèrent de faire partie du processus de formation de l’État-nation. Reconnus au départ par l’élite de la Revolución de Mayo, ils furent par la suite sévèrement critiqués, voire exploités, par la generación del 37. Les indigènes durent faire face tout au long du XIXe siècle à différents concepts qui ont mis en exergue des thèmes tels que la « frontière », le « territoire » et la « nation ». Ces concepts furent associés dans une même perspective et eurent pour seul et unique objectif d’écarter l’Indien du « progrès » de la nation argentine, influencée par le positivisme et par la pensée évolutionniste darwiniste. Cela déboucha sur la Conquista del desierto et sur un des plus importants génocides connus en Amérique latine.
« Peuple », utopie révolutionnaire et construction des nations dans l’Amérique hispanique
Authors: Guicharnaud-Tollis Michèle
Published: July 2018

Cette réflexion sur le concept de « pueblo » dans l’Amérique hispanique se centre sur l’étude diachronique de ses occurrences dans différents discours et divers pays hispano-américains, du début du XIXe au XXIe siècle. À travers des discours foncièrement utopiques, l’élite des grands Libérateurs et idéologues du XIXe siècle cherchèrent à lisser les clivages socio-ethniques. À l’opposé, d’autres ne voyaient dans le « bas peuple », qu’une masse inerte, que seules les Lumières européennes seraient capables de civiliser. Sur ce terreau idéologique s’est construit au XXe siècle un discours dynamique fondé sur l’utopie révolutionnaire d’inspiration marxiste. Puis les discours populistes ont pris le relais en perpétuant l’illusion de cette utopie. L’analyse diachronique montre donc un concept de « peuple » en constante évolution.
Le peuple italien vu par un intellectuel (dés)engagé
Authors: Belviso Francesca
Published: July 2018

Cette contribution propose une analyse ponctuelle du concept de peuple et de nation telle qu’elle est élaborée à un moment clé de l’histoire du XXe siècle par l’un des intellectuels les plus emblématiques et controversés de l’histoire culturelle de l’Italie moderne. Cesare Pavese était un écrivain de gauche qu’une abondante littérature critique a longtemps exalté comme l’un des militants culturels antifascistes les plus engagés pendant et après la chute du régime mussolinien. Cette image a été pourtant écornée par la publication posthume d’un carnet secret recueillant de nombreuses pensées de philosophie politique dont le caractère ouvertement philofasciste a soulevé un débat auprès des spécialistes et d’un vaste public. Le sens et la valeur de ces méditations peuvent être parfaitement compris et expliqués à la lumière du parcours de traduction et d’appropriation de textes de Nietzsche effectué par Pavese entre 1940 et 1945.
Formes et fonctions d’un roman impopulaire : Vogliamo tutto de Nanni Balestrini
Authors: Baghetti Carlo
Published: July 2018

Cet article analyse la structure formelle et thématique du roman de Nanni Balestrini publié en 1971, Vogliamo tutto, dont la représentation du « peuple » est centrale. Trois points en particulier sont abordés : la liaison entre les thématiques qui émergent dans le livre du 1971 (pauvreté, chômage, question méridionale, travail ouvrier, aliénation, villes-dortoirs, etc.) et ses antécédents dans la littérature industrielle ; l’aspect formel de la deuxième partie du roman dont la narration passe de la première personne du singulier à la première du pluriel, signe grammatical de la prise de conscience politique du narrateur, mais aussi élément de forte continuité entre forme et contenu chez Balestrini ; enfin, l’analyse du lecteur implicite du texte, non pas l’ouvrier-masse qui retrouve dans ce roman le manifeste de sa protestation, mais le lecteur bourgeois qui peut décoder le texte et le contextualiser d’un point de vue de l’histoire de la littérature.
Hegel, Marx, Gramsci : People, Nation, Revolution
Authors: Gabryel Nasser Suleiman Michaëlen
Published: July 2018

Le peuple est une notion politique. Il est le dépositaire d’une action politique et d’une possibilité révolutionnaire ; possibilité car elle ne peut être envisagée qu’à la mesure où la notion de peuple perd sa relative abstraction pour définir un projet de transformation politique et sociale : la révolution.
Complémentarité des systèmes de production et de régulation : une mise en évidence par la télémédecine
Authors: Gallois Florence , Rauly Amandine
Published: July 2018

La télémédecine est une pratique médicale réalisée à distance au moyen de technologies de l’information et de la communication. Cet article propose un cadre analytique qui permet de discuter la façon dont cette forme de soins émergente s’insère dans le système de santé et en modifie la régulation. Dans une première partie, nous caractérisons le système de santé. Pour cela, nous développons un cadre permettant de rendre compte des articulations entre les différents systèmes qui composent le système de la santé. Dans une seconde partie, nous caractérisons la manière dont le système de télémédecine s’insère en leur sein. Nous pointons, dans une dernière partie, le fait que la régulation du système de santé repose sur la complémentarité productive entre deux sous-systèmes constitutifs du système de santé : le système du soin et celui du care. La performance du système de santé tient alors à un transfert de la production d’un système vers l’autre, transfert qui est rendu possible par une reconfiguration des places occupées par les ordres économique, politique et domestique dans le système.
Asymmetric Hearing Loss and Chronic Dizziness in a Patient with Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Authors: Varakliotis Theodoros , Maspes Federico , Di Rubbo Vittoria , Cisternino Sara , Lauriello Maria , Vitti Elisa , Eibenstein Alberto
Published: July 2018

We report a case of a 54-year old female patient, complaining for chronic dizziness, hearing loss, tension headaches without aura, postural instability and gait dysfunction. The patient referred having these symptoms from 1992, but the last few months she experienced a noticeable aggravation of the symptoms. A magnetic resonance imaging test revealed a triventricular hydrocephalus, not associated with signs of intracranial hypertension decompensation. The ENT-Audiology evaluation revealed a bilateral sensorineural hearing loss with a conductive component, video-nystagmography resulted in an areflexia of the right ear and a reduced vestibular activity for the left ear. Auditory brainstem response test was also carried out and showed pathologic findings for the latencies of the waves I-III, III-V and I-V bilaterally but more significant in the right ear. On January 2016 the patient had endoscopic third ventriculostomy. On the follow up the patient referred an important subjective improvement regarding instability and gait dysfunction. In this paper we study the correlation between hydrocephalus, hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction.
Testosterone, prolactin, and oncogenic regulation of the prostate gland. A new concept: Testosterone-independent malignancy is the development of prolactin-dependent malignancy!
Authors: Costello Leslie C. , Franklin Renty B.
Published: July 2018

Hormone-independent malignancy is a major issue of morbidity and deaths that confronts prostate cancer. Despite decades of research, the oncogenic and hormonal implications in the development and progression of prostate malignancy remain mostly speculative. This is largely due to the absence and/or lack of consideration by contemporary clinicians and biomedical investigators regarding the established implications of the co-regulation of testosterone and prolactin in the development, maintenance, metabolism and functions of the prostate gland. Especially relevant is the major metabolic function of production of high levels of citrate by the peripheral zone acinar epithelial cells. Citrate production, along with growth and proliferation by these cells, is regulated by co-existing testosterone and prolactin signaling pathways; and by the oncogenic down-regulation of ZIP1 transporter/zinc/citrate in the development of malignancy. These relationships had not been considered in the issues of hormonedependent malignancy. This review provides the relevant background that has established the dual role of testosterone and prolactin regulation of the prostate gland; which is essential to address the implications in the oncogenic development and progression of hormone-dependent malignancy. The oncogenic factor along with testosterone-dependent and prolactin-dependent relationships leads to the plausible concept that androgen ablation for the treatment of testosterone-dependent malignancy results in the development of prolactin-dependent malignancy; which is testosterone-independent malignancy. Consequently, both testosterone ablation and prolactin ablation are required to prevent and/or abort terminal hormonedependent prostate cancer.
Perceived readiness for hospital discharge: Patients with spinal cord injury versus physiotherapists
Authors: Du Plessis Marliza , McGaffin Cassandra R. , Molepo Thamsanqa , Oelofse Roleen , Van Zyl Susan , Mashola Mokgadi K.
Published: July 2018

Background: Successful discharge from rehabilitation for patients with spinal cord injury (PWSCI) relies on a smooth transition home. Assessing readiness for hospital discharge (RHD) is important in reducing secondary health conditions and improving satisfaction and function. Perception of PWSCI on RHD may be different from their physiotherapists, leading to difficulties.Objective: To compare the perceptions of PWSCI and physiotherapists with regard to RHD.Method: A comparative cross-sectional study included 50 PWSCI and their physiotherapists in Tshwane. They completed the Readiness for Hospital Discharge Scale (RHDS) and their responses to the subscales were compared. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Relationships between variables of interest and the general perception of RHD were determined using Pearson’s chi-square test. An independent samples t-test was used to analyse the difference in RHDS scores (including subscale scores) between PWSCI and physiotherapists. Results were significant if p < 0.05.Results: The total score of the RHDS was not significantly different (t = 1.31, df = 98, p = 0.19). Patients had higher perceptions in coping ability and expected support subscales (t = 3.15, df = 85.97, p = 0.002 and t = 4.23, df = 98, p = 0.0001, respectively). Physiotherapists had higher perceptions in the knowledge subscale regarding what to do and not do at home (t = -2.05, df = 82.08, p = 0.044) and follow-up sessions (t = 2.625, df = 85.28, p = 0.010).Conclusion: There was no difference in perception of readiness to go home, although physiotherapists gave lower scores for emotional readiness and ability to handle demands at home and higher scores for knowledge.Clinical implications: The use of the RHDS in the spinal cord rehabilitation units will better align the goals of rehabilitation and discharge planning to improve overall satisfaction with care and discharge outcomes. All members of a multidisciplinary team can achieve consensus and comparisons can be made on their patient’s perceived RHD.
Social media and religion: Missiological perspective on the link between Facebook and the emergence of prophetic churches in southern Africa
Authors: Kgatle Mookgo S.
Published: July 2018

Recent works on social media and religion have paid particular attention to the role of social media in the development of religious values, improvement of social values and gratification of faith-based content by using various methodologies. A missiological perspective or approach to social media and religion will assist in exploring the role of Facebook in the emergence of prophetic churches. The background of prophetic churches is discussed here to demonstrate the growth of these churches and how such growth is linked to the use of Facebook. The shortcomings of the use of Facebook are highlighted and recommendations are made on how such shortcomings can be addressed in future.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article demonstrates the link between social media and religion on one hand and a link between Facebook and the emergence of prophetic churches on the other.

Mathematical Questions and Challenges in Quantum Electrodynamics and its Applications
Authors: Bach Volker , Ballesteros Miguel , Deckert Dirk-André , Sigal Israel Michael
Published: July 2018

Quantum field theory (QFT) may be considered one of the most fundamental frameworks of theoretical physics. Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) is the part of QFT that describes the interaction between matter and light. Although it is one of the experimentally best tested theories, it yet faces many open mathematical questions and challenges. The mathematical rigorous framework of QED and the implications deriving from it is the topic of Workshop 1737 held at MFO from September 11 through 15, 2017, bringing together mathematicians and theoretical physicists to discuss topics such as high- and low-energy QED, external field QED, quantum optics, many-boson and many-fermion systems, transport properties in condensed matter.
Mini-Workshop: MASAs and Automorphisms of C*-Algebras
Authors: Barlak Selçuk , Szymański Wojciech , Winter Wilhelm
Published: July 2018

The main aim of this workshop was to study maximal abelian *-subalgebras of C*-algebras from various points of view. A chief motivation is the UCT problem, which asks whether all separable nuclear C*-algebras satisfy the universal coefficient theorem of Rosenberg and Schochet. The connection, in terms of existence of invariant Cartan MASAs for certain *-automorphisms of the Cuntz algebra, has been brought up only very recently; it opens up a line of new perspectives on pressing questions in the structure and classification theory of simple nuclear C*-algebras and their automorphism groups, which has made giant leaps forward in the past five years. Connections to other areas, in particular von Neumann algebras and coarse geometry, have been explored as well.
Mini-Workshop: Positivity in Higher-dimensional Geometry: Higher-codimensional Cycles and Newton–Okounkov Bodies
Authors: Fulger Mihai , Küronya Alex , Lehmann Brian
Published: July 2018

There are several flavors of positivity in Algebraic Geometry. They range from conditions that determine vanishing of cohomology, to intersection theoretic properties, and to convex geometry. They offer excellent invariants that have been shown to govern the classification and the parameterization programs in Algebraic Geometry, and are finer than the classical topological ones. This mini-workshop aims to facilitate research collaboration in the area, strengthening the relationship between various positivity notions, beyond the now classical case of divisors/line bundles.

Stabilization of a Drude/Vacuum Model
Authors: Nicaise Serge
Published: July 2018

We analyze the stability of a dispersive medium immersed in vacuum (with Silver–Müller boundary condition in the exterior boundary) or vice versa. The dispersive medium model corresponds to the coupling between Maxwell’s system and a first order ordinary differential equation (of parabolic type). For a dispersive medium coupled with vacuum, the ordinary differential equation will be set in a subset of the full domain. We show that this model is well-posed and is strongly stable in a closed subspace of the energy space. We further identify some sufficient conditions that guarantee the exponential or polynomial decay of the associated energy in this subspace.

Abstract. Using a convective-cloud differential (CCD) method, developed in-house and applied to retrievals of total ozone and cloud data from three European satellite instruments (viz. GOME/ERS-2, 1995–2003; SCIAMACHY/Envisat, 2002–2012 and GOME-2/MetOp-A, 2007–2015), monthly mean tropical tropospheric columns of ozone (TTCO) have been retrieved, which are in good agreement with ozonesondes (biases less than 6 DU). As small differences in TTCO between the individual instruments were evident, it was necessary to develop a scheme to harmonise the three datasets into one consistent time series starting from 1996 until 2015. Correction offsets (biases) between the instruments using SCIAMACHY as intermediate reference have been calculated and six different harmonisation or merging scenarios have been evaluated. Depending on the merging approach, the magnitude, pattern and uncertainty in the trends strongly vary. The harmonisation or merging represents an additional source of uncertainty in the trends (2 DU decade−1 on average, in most of the cases exceeding the uncertainty from the regression). For studying further details on tropospheric ozone trends on various spatial scales in the tropics, we stick with one preferred merged dataset that shows best agreement with ozonesondes. In this merged dataset, no correction was applied for GOME, and mean biases with respect to SCIAMACHY in the overlapping period (2007–2012) were calculated and applied for GOME-2 in each grid box (2.5°  × 5°). In contrast with other studies we found that the tropospheric trend averaged over the tropics (−15° S to 15° N) is not statistically significant. The mean tropospheric ozone trend equals −0.2 ± 0.6 DU decade−1 (2σ). Regionally, tropospheric ozone has a statistically significant increase of  ∼  3 DU decade−1 over southern Africa ( ∼ 1.5 % yr−1), the southern tropical Atlantic ( ∼ 1.5 % yr−1), southeastern tropical Pacific Ocean ( ∼ 1 % yr−1), and central Oceania ( ∼ 2 % yr−1) and by  ∼ 2 DU decade−1 over central Africa (2–2.5 % yr−1) and south India ( ∼ 1.5 % yr−1). On the other hand, tropospheric O3 decreases by  ∼ 3 DU decade−1 over the Caribbean Sea and parts of the North Pacific Ocean ( ∼ 2 % yr−1), and by less than 2 DU decade−1 over some regions of the southern Pacific and Indian oceans ( ∼ 0.5–1 % yr−1).

Abstract. Mixing states of soot-containing aerosol particles
constitute important information for the simulation of climatic effects of
black carbon in the atmosphere. To elucidate the mixing states and
morphological features of soot-containing particles over remote oceans, we
conducted on-board observations over the southern Indian Ocean and the
Southern Ocean during the TR/V Umitaka-maru UM-08-09 cruise, which started
from Benoa, Indonesia, on 1 December 2008 via Cape Town, South Africa, and
which terminated in Fremantle, Australia, on 6 February 2009. The light
absorption coefficients of size-segregated particles (< 0.5 and
< 1.0 µm diameter) and aerosol number concentrations
(0.1–0.5 µm diameter) were measured to assist direct aerosol sampling.
Size-segregated aerosol particles were collected for chemical analysis using
ion chromatography. For transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses
using water-dialysis methods, dried submicrometer aerosol particles were
collected using a cascade impactor. We analyzed 13 TEM samples. Results of
water-dialysis analysis demonstrate that most particles were water-soluble.
However, for all TEM samples, particles were rarely found (2.1 % of
particles on a TEM sample at a maximum) containing insoluble residuals
with the characteristic soot shape. For samples collected over the Indian
and Southern oceans at latitudes less than 62∘ S, some
(20–35 %) soot-containing particles were found as bare soot. For samples
collected near the Antarctic coast (65–68∘ S, 38–68∘ E),
all soot-containing particles were mixed with water-soluble materials.
Furthermore, 56 % of soot-containing particles had a satellite structure
formed by the impact of droplets such as sulfuric acid. Chemical analysis of
submicrometer particles near the Antarctic coast revealed high
concentrations of non-sea-salt (nss) SO42- and
CH3SO3-, suggesting that aged soot-containing particles were
transformed by soluble materials derived from dimethyl sulfide (DMS) oxidation. The obtained
information of soot at various remote ocean areas is expected to be useful
to understand long-range transport processes and to improve simulations of
global soot concentration.

Abstract. Airborne measurements of CO2, CO, and CH4 proposed in the context of IAGOS (In-service Aircraft for a Global Observing System) will provide profiles from take-off and landing of airliners in the vicinity of major metropolitan areas useful for constraining sources and sinks. A proposed improvement of the top-down method to constrain sources and sinks is the use of a multispecies inversion. Different species such as CO2 and CO have partially overlapping emission patterns for given fuel-combustion-related sectors, and thus share part of the uncertainties related both to the a priori knowledge of emissions and to model–data mismatch error. We use a regional modelling framework consisting of the Lagrangian particle dispersion model STILT (Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian Transport) combined with the high-resolution (10 km × 10 km) EDGARv4.3 (Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research) emission inventory, differentiated by emission sector and fuel type for CO2, CO, and CH4, and combined with the VPRM (Vegetation Photosynthesis and Respiration Model) for biospheric fluxes of CO2. Applying the modelling framework to synthetic IAGOS profile observations, we evaluate the benefits of using correlations between different species' uncertainties on the performance of the atmospheric inversion. The available IAGOS CO observations are used to validate the modelling framework. Prior uncertainty values are conservatively assumed to be 20 %, for CO2 and 50 % for CO and CH4, while those for GEE (gross ecosystem exchange) and respiration are derived from existing literature. Uncertainty reduction for different species is evaluated in a domain encircling 50 % of the profile observations' surface influence over Europe. We found that our modelling framework reproduces the CO observations with an average correlation of 0.56, but simulates lower mixing ratios by a factor of 2.8, reflecting a low bias in the emission inventory. Mean uncertainty reduction achieved for CO2 fossil fuel emissions is roughly 38 %; for photosynthesis and respiration flux it is 41 and 44 % respectively. For CO and CH4 the uncertainty reduction is roughly 63 and 67 % respectively. Considering correlation between different species, posterior uncertainty can be reduced by up to 23 %; such a reduction depends on the assumed error structure of the prior and on the considered time frame. The study suggests a significant uncertainty constraint on regional emissions using multi-species inversions of IAGOS in situ observations.

Abstract. Atmospheric oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) variations in the
North Pacific were measured aboard a cargo ship, the New Century 2
(NC2), while it cruised between Japan and the United States between
December 2015 and November 2016. A fuel cell analyzer and a nondispersive
infrared analyzer were used for the measurement of O2 and
CO2, respectively. To achieve parts-per-million precision for the
O2 measurements, we precisely controlled the flow rates of the
sample and reference air introduced into the analyzers and the outlet
pressure. A relatively low airflow rate (10 cm3 min−1) was
adopted to reduce the consumption rate of the reference gases. In the
laboratory, the system achieved measurement precisions of 3.8 per meg for
δ(O2 ∕ N2), which is commonly used to express
atmospheric O2 variation, and 0.1 ppm for the CO2 mole
fraction. After the in situ observation started aboard NC2, we found that
the ship's motion caused false wavy variations in the O2 signal
with an amplitude of more than several tens of ppm and a period of about
20 s. Although we have not resolved the problem at this stage, hourly
averaging considerably suppressed the variation associated with ship motion.
Comparison between the in situ observation and flask sampling of air
samples aboard NC2 showed that the averaged differences (in situ–flask)
and the standard deviations (±1σ) are −2.8 ± 9.4 per meg
for δ(O2 ∕ N2) and −0.02 ± 0.33 ppm
for the CO2 mole fraction. We compared 1 year of in situ data for
atmospheric potential oxygen (APO; O2 +1.1×CO2)
obtained from the broad middle-latitude region
(140∘ E–130∘ W, 29∘ N–45∘ N) with
previous flask sampling data from the North Pacific. This comparison showed
that longitudinal differences in the seasonal amplitude of APO, ranging from
51 to 73 per meg, were smaller than the latitudinal differences.

Abstract. Different magnetopause models with a diverse level of complexity are in use. They have in common to be mainly based on near-earth observations, i.e., they use measurements at distances of about ±10 Earth radii. Only very few observations of magnetopause crossings at larger distances are used for model fitting. In this study we compare position and direction pre- dictions of the Shue et al. (1997) magnetopause model with actual observations of magnetopause crossings identified using the 5 ARTEMIS spacecraft at lunar distance, about 60 Earth radii. We find very good agreement between prediction and observation for the magnetopause position. Also the magnetopause normal directions are reasonably well predicted.
Inferring the effects of sink strength on plant carbon balance processes from experimental measurements

Abstract. The lack of correlation between photosynthesis and plant growth under
sink-limited conditions is a long-standing puzzle in plant ecophysiology that
currently severely compromises our models of vegetation responses to global
change. To address this puzzle, we applied data assimilation to an experiment
in which the sink strength of Eucalyptus tereticornis seedlings was
manipulated by restricting root volume. Our goals were to infer which
processes were affected by sink limitation and to attribute the overall
reduction in growth observed in the experiment to the effects on various
carbon (C) component processes. Our analysis was able to infer that, in
addition to a reduction in photosynthetic rates, sink limitation reduced the
rate of utilization of nonstructural carbohydrate (NSC), enhanced
respiratory losses, modified C allocation and increased foliage turnover.
Each of these effects was found to have a significant impact on final plant
biomass accumulation. We also found that inclusion of an NSC storage pool was
necessary to capture seedling growth over time, particularly for sink-limited
seedlings. Our approach of applying data assimilation to infer C balance
processes in a manipulative experiment enabled us to extract new information
on the timing, magnitude and direction of the internal C fluxes from an
existing dataset. We suggest that this approach could, if used more widely, be an
invaluable tool to develop appropriate representations of sink-limited growth
in terrestrial biosphere models.
