« Le Festival de la création française » (1954)
Authors: Brachet Champsaur Florence 
Published: March 2020

PrécisLe lien entre mode et grands magasins reste encore un chantier inexploré dans l'historiographie de la distribution. L'histoire des Galeries Lafayette montre que les fonctions du grand magasin ne peuvent se résumer à acheter et vendre des marchandises. La distribution n'est pas à la périphérie, elle est plus que le chaînon manquant entre le producteur et le consommateur, elle est au cœur de la création de mode. A partir des archives inédites de la société, cet article analyse le « Festival de la création française », une manifestation organisée en 1954 par les Galeries Lafayette pour mettre en relation créateurs et fabricants et favoriser l'émergence d'une « esthétique industrielle » en France. Cette période constitue un tournant dans l'histoire de la mode comme dans celle du grand magasin. Confrontées à la modernisation de l'industrie du vêtement en France et à l'émergence d'alternatives en matière d'approvisionnements, y compris à l'étranger, les Galeries Lafayette ont démantelé leur structure de production intégrée et se sont engagées dans un nouveau mode de production et de nouvelles relations avec leurs fournisseurs. L'analyse des dispositifs impliqués dans et autour du festival met en évidence le rôle de la marque en tant qu'intermédiaire essentiel au cœur du système de la mode.The link between fashion and the department store remains an underexplored field in retail historiography. The history of Galeries Lafayette reveals that the department store did much more than just buy and sell. Using the company's private archives, this article examines the 1954 “Festival de la Création Française,” an event the Galeries organized to connect creators and manufacturers and to encourage the emergence of an “industrial style.” The 1950s were a pivotal moment in fashion history and for the firm. Confronted with the modernization of the apparel industry in France and the emergence of sourcing alternatives, including some from abroad, the firm dismantled its vertically integrated production structure and committed to a new mode of production and new relations with its suppliers. The analysis of the plans, activities, and objectives of the festival highlights the role of the brand as an essential intermediary at the heart of the fashion system.

Published: March 2020

Background/Aims Robotic assisted devices are increasingly used in neurological rehabilitation for improving upper extremity function. The new hand therapy device Manovo Power of the Armeo Power provides integrated assessment of grip strength measurement. Reliability and validity of the grip strength measurement are unknown. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of grip strength measurement with the hand module of the Manovo Power robot-assisted device compared with a Biometrics E-Link hand-grip dynamometer. Methods This was a cross-sectional study design with grip strength measurements taken once a day for a total of 3 days, with a 2-day interval in between each test. Participants of the study were patients <24 months after first stroke with reduced hand function (n=51). Relative reliability was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) (2,1). Satisfactory reliability was defined as an ICC>0.8. Absolute reliability was evaluated using limits of agreement (LoA). Validity was supported if the correlation between measures with the two devices was >0.6. Results The robotic device had good intra-rater reliability (ICC=0.89, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.81–0.94, LoA 1.23–1.16) and inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.91, 95% CI 0.85–0.95, LoA 1.01–1.23). Intra-rater reliability of the Biometrics E-Link grip strength dynamometer was higher compared with the robotic device (ICC=0.98, 95% CI 0.96–0.99, LoA 3.94–4.42). Validity was confirmed by a correlation between devices of 0.76 (95% CI 0.60–0.85). Conclusions Measurement of grip strength with the robotic device was reliable and valid in patients with stroke and impaired hand function. There was no absolute measurement error that might have indicated a learning effect. Reliability was higher for the Biometrics E-Link grip strength dynamometer compared with the robotic-assisted device. Using the robotic device for grip strength measurement in patients who exercise with that device saves time and increases efficiency.

Published: March 2020

An in-line, highly sensitive refractive index (RI) sensor based on a tapered multicore fiber (MCF) structure sandwiched between two single-mode fibers is proposed and demonstrated. The fiber tapering technique was employed to fabricate in-line interferometers based on the multicore fiber. The waist diameter is one of the dominant factors of the intercore coupling. The tapered MCF interferometer is highly sensitive to the surrounding refractive index with a maximum sensitivity of 9194.6 nm/RIU in the RI range of 1.4264 to 1.4278 when the waist diameter is 9 µm. The enhancement of the evanescent field by graphene coating is proved to be able to improve the RI sensitivity further. A graphene-coated MCF interferometer with waist diameter of 9 µm offers the maximum sensitivity of 12617.6 nm/RIU in the RI range of 1.4144 to 1.4159. The experimental data have good agreement with the simulated results.

We demonstrate that polycrystalline strontium barium niobate (SBN)
serves as an excellent nonlinear material for supercontinuum (SC)
generation in the near- and mid-infrared, as pumped by femtosecond
pulses in the regions of its normal, zero, and anomalous group
velocity dispersion. We also show that broadband, octave-spanning
planar second-harmonic emission generated via random quasi phase
matching usefully serves to precisely monitor focusing/refocusing
cycles of a filament and to determine position of the nonlinear focus
in particular, which was used to estimate the nonlinear index of
refraction of the material applying Marburger’s law. The measured

Reppin’ the nation, reppin’ themselves: Nation branding and personal branding in Kenya’s music video industry
Authors: Ekdale Brian 
Published: March 2020

Abstract
This article explores the entanglement of nation branding and personal branding in the Kenyan music video industry. Although self-commodification and labouring on behalf of the nation are both indicative of neo-liberal governmentality, Kenyan music video directors build personal brands to wrestle creative control from their clients during the production process and they invoke their experiences representing Kenya abroad to elevate their professional status at home. Thus, branding in the Kenyan music video industry illustrates the complexities and contradictions of neo-liberal governmentality in global cultural production.

Published: March 2020

Membrane-based technology has proved its practicality in gas separation through its performance. Various type of membranes has been explored, showing that each type of them have their own advantages and disadvantages. Polymeric membranes have been widely used to separate O2/N2, however, its drawbacks lead to the development of carbon molecular sieve membrane. Carbon molecular sieve membranes have demonstrated excellent separation performance for almost similar kinetic diameter molecules such as O2/N2. Many polymer precursors can be used to produce carbon molecular sieve membrane through carbonization process or also known as heat treatment. This paper discusses the variety of precursors and carbonization parameters to produce high quality and performance of carbon molecular sieve membranes. This paper covers the evaluation in advancement and status of high-performance carbon membrane implemented for separating gas, comprising the variety of precursor materials and the fabrication process that involve many different parameters, also analysis of carbon membranes properties in separating various type of gas having high demand in the industries. The issues regarding the current challenges in developing carbon membrane and approaches with the purpose of solving and improving the performance and applications of carbon membrane are included in this paper. Also, the advantages of the carbon membrane compared to other types of membranes are highlighted. Observation and understanding the variables affecting the quality of membrane encourage the optimization of conditions and techniques in producing high-performance membrane.

Abstract
Leptopilina boulardi (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) is a specialist parasitoid of Drosophila. The Drosophila-Leptopilina system has emerged as a suitable model for understanding several aspects of host-parasitoid biology. However, a good quality genome of the wasp counterpart was lacking. Here, we report a whole-genome assembly of L. boulardi to bring it in the scope of the applied and fundamental research on Drosophila parasitoids with access to epigenomics and genome editing tools. The 375Mb draft genome has an N50 of 275Kb with 6315 scaffolds &gt;500bp and encompasses &gt;95% complete BUSCOs. Using a combination of ab-initio and RNA-Seq based methods, 25259 protein-coding genes were predicted and 90% (22729) of them could be annotated with at least one function. We demonstrate the quality of the assembled genome by recapitulating the phylogenetic relationship of L. boulardi with other Hymenopterans. The key developmental regulators like Hox genes and sex determination genes are well conserved in L. boulardi, and so is the basic toolkit for epigenetic regulation. The search for epigenetic regulators has also revealed that L. boulardi genome possesses DNMT1 (maintenance DNA methyltransferase), DNMT2 (tRNA methyltransferase) but lacks the de novo DNA methyltransferase (DNMT3). Also, the heterochromatin protein 1 family appears to have expanded as compared to other hymenopterans. The draft genome of L. boulardi (Lb17) will expedite the research on Drosophila parasitoids. This genome resource and early indication of epigenetic aspects in its specialization make it an interesting system to address a variety of questions on host-parasitoid biology.
Изучение искусства как образовательный сценарий XXI века

<p>В статье анализируются новые образовательные сценарии, связанные с фундаментальными изменениями культуры в XXI в. Открытия в биоинженерии могут привести к тому, что человек впервые в своей истории столкнется с изменениями своей телесности, что создаст платформу для актуализации главного онтологического вопроса: «Кто я и какова моя природа?» Это приведет к обострению проблемы идентичности, причем человека будущего. Трагический разрыв человека со своим субстанциональным образом неизбежно породит стремление к партиципации, понимаемой автором как восстановление собственной экзистенциальной самотождественности.</p><p>Поиск путей партиципации инструментально основан на типологии культур А. Моля, который выделял рациональную, системную «гуманитарную» культуру и «мозаичную» культуру — поверхностную и случайно выстроенную. Для носителя гуманитарной культуры базисной являлась способность смотреть на мир «синтетически», т. е. видеть объекты и явления целиком. Практики работы с информацией представителя мозаичной культуры стали преимущественно аналитическими, что усугубляет отчуждение человека от самого себя.</p><p>В отличие от «индустриального» образования, нацеленного на формирование научной картины мира, образование XXI в. должно быть дополнено изучением искусства, которое инициирует творческую работу с целостными, гармоничными образами и восстанавливает необходимое представителю мозаичной культуры синтетическое видение мира. Автор делает вывод, что изучение искусства сможет помочь человеку, попадающему в точку психологической и экзистенциальной бифуркации, сохранить свой субстанциональный образ.</p>
A P- and S-Wave Picking Technique Based on the Probabilistic Density Function of Seismic-Waveform Amplitude
Authors: Oshima Mitsutaka , Takenaka Hiroshi 
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACTPicking of P and S waves is a fundamental process in seismology, and various kinds of picking techniques have been developed. Seismic waveforms change dramatically depending on the magnitude, the mechanism of the earthquake, and the positional relationship between the hypocenter and the seismic station.The availability of various picking techniques is supposed to be helpful for appropriately dealing with a variety of seismic records. Hence, in addition to the revision of conventional techniques, the development of new picking techniques is worthwhile. In the present study, we developed a new stochastic technique to detect P and S waves based on the statistical amplitude distribution in the seismic record amplitude.In the proposed method, the probabilistic density function (PDF) of the amplitude is calculated for each segment of seismic records, and the similarity between the PDF of the amplitude and that of the Rayleigh or Gaussian distribution is evaluated by divergence. Because Rayleigh and Gaussian distributions are typically found in amplitude distributions of highly random waves, such as coda waves, the divergence indicates the randomness of the seismic records. P and S waves are found by tracing the temporal change of the divergence.We tested the proposed method using local seismic records for a series of seismic events that occurred before and after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquake. The mean absolute errors for picking P and S waves are 2.72×10−2 and 7.38×10−2  s, respectively. The proposed method is a simple and new statistical picking method that enables automatic detection of P- and S-wave arrivals.
Exact Rayleigh-Wave Solution from a Point Source in Homogeneous Elastic Half-Space
Authors: Zhou Jie , Zhang Haiming 
Published: March 2020

ABSTRACTA Rayleigh wave, often the most visible component in the far-field seismograms, is an important type of seismic-wave motion associated with the Earth’s surface. In this study, we explore some of the general properties of the Rayleigh wave in a homogeneous elastic half-space. Starting from the displacement expressed in the form of a wavenumber integral in the frequency domain, we extract the contribution from the pole in the complex wavenumber plane to obtain the excitation formulae of the Rayleigh wave by the residue theorem for complex integrals. Numerical results are compared with the full wavefield solutions to validate our solutions. By examining the analytical expressions obtained, we explore some basic properties of Rayleigh waves such as the particle motion and geometrical spreading. We also demonstrate that these properties of the Rayleigh wave excited by a point source are slightly different from but mostly consistent with the well-known classical properties of plane Rayleigh waves.
Inter-Sectorial Linkage of Economic Sectors and Their Contribution to Economic Growth: A Time Series Evidence from Ethiopia and China
Authors: Gessesse Abrham Tezera , Xungang Zheng , Ge He 
Published: March 2020

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to investigate the inter-sectorial linkage of economic sectors and their contribution to the economic growth using time series data from 1978-2014 and 1992-2014.
Design/methodology/approach: This study employed a Johansen cointegration test and Ordinary Least Square (OLS) model.
Findings: The Johansen cointegration and multiple regression results indicate that all economic sectors have strong, positive and significant long-run and short-run relationship with economic growth during the study period in both countries. The result revealed that MNF giant is an engine for Chinese economic growth while agriculture took the lion-share for Ethiopian economy. The MNF has bi-directional Granger cause with economic growth, agriculture and SRV for China, while GDP and AGR are the only bi-directional Granger causes variables for Ethiopia.
Implications: Therefore, from a policy perspective, Ethiopian policymakers need to formulate agro-processing industries to ensure the transformation of the AGR to the MNF as well as maintain inter-sectorial linkage and sustain the country’s economic growth.
Most Anti-Corruption Programs Have Lacked Key Components
Authors: Rasmusson Thomas , Dukuly Boakai 
Published: March 2020

The five field studies reported here and published research examined successful and unsuccessful anti-corruption programs, and the processes of corruption in Africa and Central America. They found most Third World governments' anti-corruption programs have lacked the appropriate mix of strategies and exercises needed to build new behaviors to overcome the core problem of a culture of corruption, or the hysteresis effect. The five studies led to development and testing of a model anti-corruption program. Test of the model program showed it could be assimilated by participants who lacked advanced education, and they could achieve an initial operational competence in a relatively brief period of training. The authors’ five field studies found eight (8) components were necessary for successful anti-corruption programs, and these findings were bolstered by the published research of others that was empirically based. The eight components are: (1) the actual and visible support of the head of government or C.E.O., (2) behavior modification training for civil servants to build informal social controls and internalize negative reactions to corruption, (3) a public component to build public support and social conscientiousness, (4) a degree of career security for civil servants, (5) laws and formal structures, such as criminal statutes, ethics code, transparency, audit, legislative incentives such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, other official and independent oversight, (6) exercises and follow up to operationalize new behaviors and feedback, (7) reduction and streamlining of government licensing and regulation of the economy, and (8) training to build new sensitivities to mission, professionalism, fiduciary duty, and peer group responsibility. The model program developed and tested included skill building, group exercises, role-playing, cohort projects, and practice scripts.

Background: Adolescence is the tender and vital period in the life of a person. It is a transitional stage of physical and psychological development that generally occurs during the period from puberty to legal adulthood. Nutrition is the prime requirement of the adolescents for their physical and mental growth. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional status of the primary school going children in Jazan, KSA and to analyze the association of nutrition status with academic performance of school going children in Jazan, KSA. Methods: This study involved 4 schools chosen randomly from the government schools of Jazan. 7th and 8th class children were considered for the study. Required ethical approval bearing reference number 28943 dated 20/6/1440 was taken from the Institutional ethical committee. Study sample: 200 collection of the data: data collected from the schools of Jazan selected randomly in the school working hours.Results: 60% of the sample is in the age group 17-18 years. 30% of the sample were having more than 5 siblings. 16% of the parents were illiterates. The proportion of students taking milk products more than 3 times in the week (79.1%) were found to be performing well in the schools than the students consuming less than 3 days week. Strong association was found between performance of the students and parent’s education as the educated parents’ children were performing well.Conclusions: Good nutrition for the growing kids was found to be associated with academic performance of the students.
