Authors: Cantú Roberto , Rosales Marco A , Tepichín Eduardo , Curioca Andrée , Montes Víctor , Ramirez-Zavaleta J Gustavo 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To analyze the objective quality of vision at 6 months postoperatively after pseudoaccommodative (presbyopic) advanced surface ablation (PASA).
METHODS: The study comprised 62 eyes of 35 patients with 6-month follow-up that underwent primary or secondary treatments using PASA. Pre- and postoperative results of distance and near uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), spherical aberration (coefficient of the Z12 Zernike polynomial), and the asphericity (Q) index were reviewed. The corresponding wavefront maps (total, low, and high order aberrations) and the corresponding point spread function and modulation transfer function (MTF) were also calculated.
RESULTS: Our results show that PASA improves distance and near mean UCVA, increases negative spherical aberration and negative asphericity index, and improves the corresponding MTF.
CONCLUSIONS: Pseudoaccommodative advanced surface ablation is a promising approach for the surgical correction of presbyopia with distance refractive error (myopia and hyperopia with or without astigmatism). This PASA technique could theoretically be used in non-presbyopic patients with refractive error or post cataract patients with monofocal intraocular lenses. The increase in negative spherical aberration and asphericity/eccentricity index seems to increase the depth of focus of the eye, improving the near vision and compensating the agerelated lens changes. Rather than creating a multifocal cornea, PASA appears to create an improved aspheric (prolate) ablation profile. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21(Suppl): S603-S605.]
LASIK for High Myopic Astigmatism Resulting From Perforating Ocular Injury
Authors: Khoury Johnny M , Haddad Walid F , Noureddin Baha 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To present a case of successful treatment of high myopic astigmatism after a perforating injury with significant corneal laceration and pupil ectopia using excimer LASIK.
METHODS: A 30-year-old man presented for treatment of high myopic astigmatism in his right eye resulting from perforating ocular trauma, which occurred 8 years prior to presentation. The corneoscleral wound repair was performed with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) in the right eye was counting fingers at 1 m, best corrected to 20/30 with -7.00 +5.00 X 110. Visual acuity in the left eye was 20/20 with -1.5 D. The patient was unable to tolerate spectacles and contact lenses because of asthenopia and high astigmatism, respectively. As an alternative, LASIK with the Allegretto Wave excimer laser was performed.
RESULTS: Three months postoperatively, UCVA was 20/25 in the right eye and 20/15 in the left eye.
CONCLUSIONS: This case indicates that LASIK can be a useful surgical method for correcting high myopic astigmatism resulting from ocular trauma with significant corneoscleral laceration. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21:756-759.]

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare the surgically induced astigmatism in myopic eyes undergoing conventional and wavefront-guided LASIK.
METHODS: A retrospective review was performed of the charts of 200 myopic eyes of 121 patients who underwent either custom or conventional treatments via the VISX S4 or LADARVision4000 platforms (50 consecutive eyes in each of the four groups). The primary outcome measure was manifest refraction, which was evaluated preoperatively and at 3 months postoperatively. The magnitude and axis of the unintended surgically induced astigmatism were calculated using vector analysis. The Student t test was used to compare the magnitudes of the surgically induced astigmatism and the absolute angle of error.
RESULTS: The mean preoperative manifest cylinder was 0.66?0.38 diopters (D) for conventional VISX S4 and 0.68?0.39 D for VISX CustomVue (P=. 795), and 0.76?0.56 D for LADARVision and 0.61?0.36 D for LADAR CustomCornea (P=. 114). The success index was 0.19?0.41 for VISX S4 and 0.49?0.49 for VISX CustomVue (P= .0013), and 0.25 ?0.47 for LADARVision and 0.20?0.39 for LADAR CustomCornea (P=.5721). The absolute mean angle of error was 4.4?13.9? for VISX S4 versus 14.9?23.9? for VISX CustomVue (P=.0085), and 6.1?12.3? for LADARVision versus 3.9?11.1? for LADAR CustomCornea (P=.3501). Of the VISX CustomVue eyes, 32% had an absolute angle of error >10?, as compared to 10% for both the VISX S4 and LADAR CustomCornea eyes (P=. 013), and 16% for the LADARVision group (P=. 056).
CONCLUSIONS: Wavefront-guided ablation is associated with higher surgically induced astigmatism and larger astigmatic axis shift on the VISX platform as compared to the LADAR CustomCornea and the LADAR and VISX conventional platforms. Care should be emphasized mainly during registration/alignment to minimize surgically induced astigmatism in wavefront-guided LASIK. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21:S792-S798.]
Higher Order Aberrations After LASIK for Myopia With Alcon and WaveLight Lasers: A Prospective Randomized Trial
Authors: Brint Stephen F 
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT
PURPOSE: To evaluate the differences in higher order aberration outcomes between bilateral wavefront-guided and wavefront-optimized LASIK treatments on two closely matched patient groups 1 and 3 months following surgery.
METHODS: Thirty patients were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to undergo bilateral LASIK with either the Alcon CustomCornea laser system or the WaveLight Allegretto Wave laser system. Standard clinical outcomes such as visual acuity and manifest refraction were evaluated as well as quality of vision measures such as subjective questionnaires and higher order aberrations. All patients completed follow-up examinations for 3 months following surgery.
RESULTS: At 1 and 3 months after surgery, the uncorrected visual acuity and the refractive outcome were similar for the two laser platforms, with 90% to 93% eyes being within ?0.5 D of intended outcome. At 1 and 3 months the Alcon CustomCornea group had a statistically significant lower amount of induced total higher order aberrations compared to the Allegretto Wave group (P<.05).
CONCLUSIONS: LASIK for myopia with the Alcon CustomCornea and WaveLight Allegretto Wave systems is highly effective in terms of refractive outcome and uncorrected visual acuity. However, aberrations were statistically significantly greater after treatment with the WaveLight Allegretto Wave system than with the Alcon CustomCornea. [J Refract Surg. 2005;21:S799S803.]
Qohéleth ou l’Ecclésiaste : la vanité sous le soleil
Authors: Causse Jean-Daniel 
Published: December 2019

Cette contribution thématise la célèbre maxime de l’Ecclésiaste — « Vanité des vanités tout est vanité » — en tant qu’elle est un dévoilement radical des formes multiples du semblant. Dans cette perspective, l’Ecclésiaste n’appelle pas « vanité » ce qui apparaît ainsi dans l’espace social ou religieux, mais ce à quoi on accorde généralement de la valeur ou de l’importance. Il opère une démystification de tout un monde, y compris un système de causalité, illustré en particulier par la théorie religieuse de la rétribution qui établit un simple rapport de cause à effet entre l’acte juste et sa récompense ou au contraire la peine découlant de l’acte injuste. Cela étant, contrairement à ce qu’on aurait pu penser, l’Ecclésiaste ne postule pas au terme de sa réflexion l’existence d’une vérité qui, enfin débarrassée de ses artifices, se manifesterait dans toute sa splendeur. Il invite plutôt chacun à trouver sa réjouissance dans la vanité même du monde. Il ne s’agit donc pas de se défaire du semblant, mais de s’y inscrire autrement sans avoir à justifier de son être et dans l’attente de nouvelles possibilités.

Abstract. Ammonium-containing aerosols are a major component of wintertime air
pollution in many densely populated regions around the world. Especially in
mountain basins, the formation of persistent cold-air pools (PCAPs)
can enhance particulate matter with diameters less than 2.5 µm
(PM2.5) to levels above air quality standards. Under these conditions,
PM2.5 in the Great Salt Lake region of northern Utah has been shown
to be primarily composed of ammonium nitrate; however, its formation
processes and sources of its precursors are not fully understood. Hence, it
is key to understanding the emission sources of its gas phase precursor,
ammonia (NH3). To investigate the formation of ammonium nitrate, a
suite of trace gases and aerosol composition were sampled from the NOAA Twin Otter aircraft during the Utah Winter Fine Particulate Study (UWFPS) in
January and February 2017. NH3 was measured using a quantum cascade
tunable infrared laser differential absorption spectrometer (QC-TILDAS),
while aerosol composition, including particulate ammonium (pNH4), was
measured with an aerosol mass spectrometer (AMS). The origin of the sampled
air masses was investigated using the Stochastic Time-Inverted Lagrangian
Transport (STILT) model and combined with an NH3 emission inventory to
obtain model-predicted NHx (=NH3+pNH4) enhancements.
Enhancements represent the increase in NH3 mixing ratios within the
last 24 h due to emissions within the model footprint. Comparison of these
NHx enhancements with measured NHx from the Twin Otter shows that modelled values are a factor of 1.6 to 4.4 lower for the three major valleys in the region. Among these, the underestimation is largest for Cache Valley, an area with intensive agricultural activities. We find that one explanation for the underestimation of wintertime emissions may be the seasonality factors applied to NH3 emissions from livestock. An investigation of inter-valley exchange revealed that transport of NH3
between major valleys was limited and PM2.5 in Salt Lake Valley (the
most densely populated area in Utah) was not significantly impacted by
NH3 from the agricultural areas in Cache Valley. We found that in Salt
Lake Valley around two thirds of NHx originated within the valley,
while about 30 % originated from mobile sources and 60 % from area
source emissions in the region. For Cache Valley, a large fraction of
NOx potentially leading to PM2.5 formation may not be locally emitted but mixed in from other counties.

Published: December 2019

Introduction: Obesity is an important health concern worldwide and is a growing problem in Iran. Adolescent obesity has a major role in development of adulthood obesity and its complications. The present study was conducted to evaluate the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and associated risk factors in female adolescents living in Tehran, Iran.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 2,132 female adolescents aged 14-17 years in Tehran recruited between 2017 and 2018. Weight and height were measured and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Underweight, overweight, and obesity were considered as < 5th, ≥ 85th, and ≥ 95th percentile, respectively, of CDC BMI-for age and sex criteria. Adolescents and their mothers filled in the questionnaires on physical activity, computer use, duration of breastfeeding, total sleep time, and family socioeconomic status. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 22.0 software. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results: The overall prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 24.1% and 6.5%, respectively. The prevalences of overweight and obesity were highest in the South District (28.9% and 7.7%, respectively) and were lowest in the North District (19.1% and 5.2%, respectively). There were significant differences in physical activity level (P < 0.001), total sleep time (P < 0.001), duration of breastfeeding (P < 0.01), and daily computer use (P < 0.001) among the four groups (underweight, normal, overweight, and obese). Regarding the socioeconomic status, parental education level and economic status were significantly higher in those who had normal weight compared to other weight groups (in both, P < 0.001).Conclusion: This study showed that overweight and obesity among female adolescents in Tehranhave become a major public health concern. Level of physical activity, computer use, sleep duration, breastfeeding duration, levels of parental education, and economic status were associated with overweight and obesity prevalence.

Relativiteit en causaliteit naar aanleiding van het schietincident Alphen aan den Rijn. HR 20 september 2019, ECLI:NL:HR:2019:1409
De relativiteit bleek in eerdere jurisprudentie vaak een struikelblok bij overheidsaansprakelijkheid. Vooral bij publiekrechtelijke regelgeving heeft de wetgever zich dikwijls nauwelijks uitgelaten over de bescherming van individuele vermogensbelangen van burgers. De Hoge Raad onderzoekt in het hierna te bespreken arrest het doel en de strekking van de geschonden norm in de zaak over het schietincident in Alphen aan den Rijn. De overtreden norm die ziet op de veiligheid van de samenleving strekt zich ook uit tot de individuele vermogensbelangen van burgers. Bovendien rechtvaardigt een veiligheidsnorm een verregaande toerekening van schade en beperkt zich in beginsel niet tot letsel- en overlijdensschade.
Discursos de pais de crianças surdas: Educação Infantil e a presença da Libras
Authors: Conceição Bianca Salles , Martins Vanessa Regina de Oliveira 
Published: December 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo apresentar um recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado realizada no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Especial da Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). A pesquisa problematizou as escolhas linguísticas nas instruções escolares, com foco na Educação Infantil, feitas por pais e responsáveis de crianças surdas, matriculadas nesta etapa educacional. O intuito da pesquisa foi de ressaltar, a partir do discurso de pais e responsáveis quais tipos de instrução escolar estavam sendo disponibilizados para essas crianças, e se a Língua Brasileira de Sinais – Libras, estava sendo utilizada no processo de aprendizagem ou não. A pesquisa refere-se a um estudo de caso com abordagem qualitativa descritiva. Utilizou-se, como instrumento de coleta de dados, entrevistas semiestruturadas. Participaram da entrevista quatro mães e um pai de filhos surdos, inseridos em escolas com propostas bilíngues, em três municípios do interior do estado de São Paulo. As análises foram realizadas com base nas filosofias da diferença, especificamente nos estudos de Michel Foucault. Pode-se observar a entrada da Língua de Sinais no seio familiar e social, assim como sua importância para o desenvolvimento das crianças. O discurso dos responsáveis, a partir de um viés clínico, ainda é presente, mas tomando por base a preocupação com barreiras sociais que levam os familiares a procurar soluções médicas. Portanto, pode-se afirmar que, apesar do discurso da surdez como deficiência ainda ser presente, na fala dos pais, a Língua de Sinais tem ganhado visibilidade social e é de conhecimento das famílias.
Tras la comunidad. De la Gemeinschaft sociológica a la “comunidad ideal de comunicación” en la ética de Apel
Authors: Bonete Perales Enrique 
Published: December 2019

Se pretende mostrar la coincidencia entre el papel que desempeña la idealizada Gemeinschaft en algunos sociólogos clásicos (como instancia crítica de los males de las sociedades modernas) con la función teórica del a priori de la “comunidad ideal de comunicación” en la ética de Apel (en tanto que principio regulativo de los reales procesos dialógicos). Se compara la futurible “comunidad ideal” con la pasada “vida comunitaria” de los consensos morales. Hoy nos encontramos después de la sociológica Gemeinschaft (primer sentido de la preposición “tras”) pero hemos de caminar hacia la comunidad ideal de comunicación (segundo sentido de “tras”).
ABSTRACT: The present contribution aims to illustrate the close relation between the role played by the idealized Gemeinschaft in some classical sociologists (as a critical element of modern societies’ ills) and the theoretical function of the “ideal communication community” as an a priori in Apel’s ethics (as a regulative principle of actual dialogic processes). With that aim, I will compare the possible future “ideal community” to the past “community life” of moral consensus. Now we live after the sociological Gemeinschaft (first sense of the preposition “after”) but we must go after the ideal communication community (second sense of “after”).
Towards a Logic of Encounter
Authors: Bleuler Marcel 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
SINCE THE EARLY 21ST CENTURY, THERE HAS BEEN A GROWING NUMBER OF ALLIANCES BETWEEN SOCIAL ART AND SO-CALLED INTERNATIONAL ‘DEVELOPMENT’ COOPERATION AND NGO WORK. SCHOLARS MOSTLY DISCUSS SUCH ALLIANCES FROM A PERSPECTIVE THAT EXPECTS ART PROJECTS TO RESULT IN CONCLUSIVE EFFECTS. THIS PAPER ARGUES THAT SUCH AN EFFECT-ORIENTED PERSPECTIVE IS BASED ON A REDUCTIVE NOTION OF ART AND THAT IT FAILS TO NOTICE THE SELF-CRITICAL PRINCIPLES THAT SOCIAL ART CONTRIBUTES TO THE FIELD OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. BASED ON A DETAILED DISCUSSION OF THE CONTINUING PROJECT OFF/LINE: WHAT CAN ART DO IN ZEMO NIKOZI? (SINCE 2016), WHICH INVITES ARTISTS TO WORK IN THE FRAMING OF A LONG-TERM ENGAGEMENT FOR CONFLICT TRANSFORMATION IN THE SHIDA KARTLI REGION OF GEORGIA, THIS PAPER PRESENTS CONCRETE PROCESSES OF SOCIAL ART AND DIFFERENTIATES THEM ACCORDING TO HOW THEY RELATE TO THE IMPLEMENTATION CONTEXT. ON THIS BASIS, THE PAPER CONCEPTUALIZES SOCIAL ART PRACTICES AS PROCESS-ORIENTED SPACES OF ENCOUNTER, AND DRAWS CONCLUSIONS ON A DISCURSIVE LOGIC THAT COMPLEMENTS THE EFFECT-ORIENTED DISCOURSE.
Between ‘Freedom as Autonomy’ and ‘Freedom as Potentiality’
Authors: Holm Ditte Vilstrup 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
CONTEMPORARY CULTURAL POLICY PROMOTES THE VALUE OF PARTICIPATORY PRACTICES, INCLUDING PARTICIPATORY ART. HOWEVER, THIS EMPHASIS RENDERS CULTURAL POLICY SUBJECT TO THE ART COMMUNITY’S WIDESPREAD AND GENERALIZED SUSPICION THAT GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES INSTRUMENTALIZE ARTISTIC PRACTICES TO SERVE PURPOSES OTHER THAN THOSE PURSUED BY ARTISTS THEMSELVES. THIS ARTICLE ADDRESSES THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTICIPATORY ART, PARTICIPATORY CULTURE AND CULTURAL POLICY, FOCUSING IN PARTICULAR ON NOTIONS OF ARTISTIC AUTONOMY. SPECIFICALLY, THE ARTICLE USES ORGANIZATION THEORY’S DISCUSSION OF FREEDOM IN WORK TO FRAME ART THEORY’S SUSTAINED, ALBEIT DIFFERENTLY CONCEPTUALIZED, PREOCCUPATION WITH NOTIONS OF ARTISTIC AUTONOMY IN RESPECT TO THE BUREAUCRATIC ORGANIZATION OF LIFE IN MODERNITY. EMPIRICALLY, THE ARTICLE ANALYSES AN INSPIRATIONAL CATALOGUE THAT PROMOTES THE USE OF PARTICIPATORY ART AND CITIZEN INVOLVEMENT IN PUBLIC ART PROJECTS AS A WAY OF CHALLENGING THE ART COMMUNITY’S GENERALIZED SUSPICION, WHILE ALSO SUGGESTING THAT DANISH ARTS POLICY IS RENEGOTIATING THE ROLE OF ART IN CONTEMPORARY SOCIETY BY TAKING ADVANTAGE OF CONTEMPORARY OPPORTUNITIES FOR SEIZING ARTISTIC FREEDOM. CONTEMPORARY PARTICIPATORY CULTURE, IT IS ARGUED, CONDITIONS AS WELL AS PROMOTES ARTISTIC PRACTICE, THUS GENERATING NEW ARTISTIC POSSIBILITIES, ALTHOUGH ONLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ARTISTS ENGAGE IN COLLABORATION WITH OTHER ORGANIZATIONS, INCLUDING THOSE AFFECTING CULTURAL POLICY.

Politiques de l’autorité. Le pouvoir de celui qui « n’est rien »
Authors: Joos Jean-Ernest 
Published: December 2019

Ce texte se propose de mettre en évidence une conception de l’autorité qui traverse la modernité et la postmodernité, celle d’une autorité qui se légitime par son invisibilité. Le concept d’autorité désigne ici, non seulement le droit de parole, mais aussi le lieu où l’institution prend corps. Il s’agit donc d’analyser les conséquences politiques de cette forme d’incorporation institutionnelle qui a été aussi celle de l’université, notamment dans la constitution de la figure du « maître » et des frontières disciplinaires. Il me semble clair en effet que c’est cette forme d’autorité qui est remise en question par l’introduction des politiques du corps (Gays, Lesbiennes, Queer, Afro-américaines...) dans cette configuration institutionnelle fondée sur le pouvoir de l’invisibilité.
Sifflements dans l’obscurité. L’événementialité de Bill Readings
Authors: Villeneuve Johanne 
Published: December 2019

Partant du travail de Bill Readings et de sa critique de l’université, cet article s’interroge sur la possibilité pour les intellectuels actuels d’être mobiles et ludiques dans la circulation des savoirs. Dans un premier temps, la critique et les solutions stratégiques offertes par Bill Readings rendent nécessaires un retour à la théorie de l’événement (Lyotard, Veyne, Koselleck, etc.); dans un deuxième temps, elles nous forcent a nous demander si, malgré le principe de « jeu » dont elles se réclament, ces stratégies échappent totalement a l’idéologie, le jeu pouvant aussi contenir la possibilité de sa propre tyrannie.
Squattage et terrains vagues
Authors: Lessard Marie 
Published: December 2019

La lecture des textes de Marguerite Duras, Kathy Acker et Irmtraud Morgner suggère la possibilité de penser le rapport entre pratiques d’écriture et autobiographie en termes de « pratiques de squattage ». Je veux expliciter ici ce qui m’apparait constituer l’intérêt d’un tel modèle lorsque l’on cherche à comprendre le rapport liant certaines pratiques d’écriture contemporaines à la tradition littéraire en général, ainsi que les modalités possibles d’une articulation politique entre pratiques culturelles et tradition, plus spécifiquement entre pratiques féministes et tradition.
FÉMINISME ET WOMEN'S STUDIES. VIEILLES HISTOIRES
Authors: Bowlby Rachel 
Published: December 2019

L’auteure tente une reconstruction de l’histoire des women’s studies et de la dynamique qui les relie au féminisme. Évoquant les diverses polarités qui ont structuré les conditions de leur interaction, elle décrit l’évolution du féminisme anglo-américain, du féminisme français et du French feminism en faisant intervenir les notions de marginalité et d’institutionnalisation, les théories de Kristeva, de Cixous et d’Irigaray, la déconstruction et l’« essentialism » et, dans une visée plus polémique, la « domestication ». Pour illustrer la thèse que les enjeux du débat entourant le rôle des women’s studies au sein du féminisme n’ont pas changé, Bowlby offre une critique déconstructrice du récent livre de Judith Butler, Gender Trouble.
