La minorisation linguistique, entre discrimination et domination symbolique. Différences et enjeux de deux lectures des inégalités
Authors: Hambye Philippe 
Published: December 2019

Lorsque l’on évoque des situations de minorisation linguistique, il est courant de les associer à des processus de domination ou de discrimination, à tel point que ces termes peuvent sembler indissociables, voire quasiment synonymes. Cette contribution propose cependant de mettre en évidence ce qui sépare une approche des faits de minorisation inscrite dans une réflexion critique sur la « domination » d’une lecture de la minorisation comme processus de discrimination. L’analyse tente en particulier de saisir ce que la notion de discrimination véhicule comme conception particulière des problèmes sociaux et ce que sa diffusion actuelle doit à sa proximité avec certains traits de la vision du monde social qui tend à s’imposer aujourd’hui.

Cissus quadrangularis(Vitaceae) is a perennial climber endemic to Africa and is characterized by succulent angular stems. The plant grows in arid and semi-arid regions of Africa especially in the African savanna. The stem ofC. quadrangularishas a wide range of applications in both human and animal medicine, but there is limited cytogenetic information available for this species. In this study, the chromosome number, genome size, and genome composition forC. quadrangulariswere determined. Flow cytometry results indicated that the genome size ofC. quadrangularisis approximately 2C = 1.410 pg. Fluorescence microscopy combined with DAPI stain showed the chromosome numbers to be 2n = 48. It is likely thatC. quadrangularishas a tetraploid genome after considering the basic chromosome numbers inCissusgenus (n = 10, 11, or 12). A combination of low-throughput genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis allowed identification and quantification of repetitive elements that make up about 52% of theC. quadrangularisgenome, which was dominated by LTR-retrotransposons. Two LTR superfamilies were identified as Copia and Gypsy, with 24% and 15% of the annotated clusters, respectively. The comparison of repeat elements forC. quadrangularis,Vitis vinifera,and four other selected members in theCissusgenus revealed a high diversity in the repetitive element components, which could suggest recent amplification events in theCissusgenus. Our data provides a platform for further studies on the phylogeny and karyotype evolution in this genus and in the family Vitaceae.
Characterization and comparative analysis of the complete chloroplast genome sequence from Prunus avium ‘Summit’
Authors: Zhao Xueqing , Yan Ming , Ding Yu , Huo Yan , Yuan Zhaohe 
Published: December 2019

Background
Sweet cherry (Prunus avium) is one of the most popular of the temperate fruits. Previous studies have demonstrated that there were several haplotypes in the chloroplast genome of sweet cherry cultivars. However, none of chloroplast genome of a sweet cherry cultivar were yet released, and the phylogenetic relationships among Prunus based on chloroplast genome data were unclear.

Methods
In this study, we assembled and annotated the complete chloroplast genome of a sweet cherry cultivar P. avium ‘Summit’ from high-throughput sequencing data. Gene Ontology (GO) terms were assigned to classify the function of the annotated genes. Maximum likelihood (ML) trees were constructed to reveal the phylogenetic relationships within Prunus species, using LSC (large single-copy) regions, SSC (small single-copy) regions, IR (inverted repeats) regions, CDS (coding sequences), intergenic regions, and whole cp genome datasets, respectively.

Results
The complete plastid genome was 157, 886 bp in length with a typical quadripartite structure of LSC (85,990 bp) and SSC (19,080 bp) regions, separated by a pair of IR regions (26,408 bp). It contained 131 genes, including 86 protein-coding genes, 37 transfer RNA genes and 8 ribosomal RNA genes. A total of 77 genes were assigned to three major GO categories, including molecular function, cellular component and biological process categories. Comparison with other Prunus species showed that P. avium ‘Summit’ was quite conserved in gene content and structure. The non-coding regions, ndhc-trnV, rps12-trnV and rpl32-trnL were the most variable sequences between wild Mazzard cherry and ‘Summit’ cherry. A total of 73 simple sequence repeats (SSRs) were identified in ‘Summit’ cherry and most of them were mononucleotide repeats. ML phylogenetic tree within Prunus species revealed four clades: Amygdalus, Cerasus, Padus, and Prunus. The SSC and IR trees were incongruent with results using other cp data partitions. These data provide valuable genetic resources for future research on sweet cherry and Prunus species.
Cannabis, the Plant of the Unlimited Possibilities
Authors: Dölle Klaus , Kurzmann David E. 
Published: December 2019

This review paper gives an overview of Cannabis Sativa, also known as hemp, which has been cultivated and used century's B.C. due to its medical, hallucinogenic and agricultural properties. Cannabis has been described in 1938 as the billion-dollar plant but has lost its value in the U.S. due to regulatory and legislative issues.
Hemp has seen as new push In the U.S. with the introduction of the 2018 Farm Bill which allows on a federal level to grow hemp, pending on individual state regulations. Currently, industrial hemp production is allowed in at least 38 U.S. States under strict regulations.
Today hemp is used in counties that do not have as strict regulations as the U.S. in a variety of applications such as beauty products, carpets, cooking oil, personal care products and textiles.
Hemp can be considered as an alternative feedstock due to its low lignin and high cellulose level for biofuel application as an alternative to replace petroleum-based fuels and gases.
In the U.S. hemp research in these areas has stalled due to the complexity of the law.
Beside industrial application such as ropes, textiles, shoes, etc., hemp today is used in pharmaceutical and medical applications, by extracting Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol and cannabinoids from the leaves and fluorescence of the hemp plant that contain no more than of up to 0.3% of these compounds. The use of hemp plants with higher levels are strictly forbidden in most countries.
Several extraction processes of cannabinoids from hemp are used They all use a solvent for extraction but differ in terms of efficiency, usage range and other factors influencing the extraction.
Nonetheless, overconsumption of cannabis products can be associated with several side effects, that can cause serious physiological and psychological damage in the human body may cause serious damage.
Combined Aggressive Distal Gastrectomy and Double-Tract Reconstruction for Palliation of Incurable Locally Invasive Distal Gastric Cancer With Gastric Outlet Obstruction
Authors: Kiyasu Yoshito 
Published: December 2019

Objective:To evaluate combined aggressive distal gastrectomy (ADG) and double-tract (DT) reconstruction (ADGDTR) for palliative treatment of gastric cancer with gastric outlet obstruction (GOO).Summary of Background Data:An effective standard palliation procedure has not been identified for patients with incurable gastric cancer.Methods:I retrospectively evaluated patients presenting to my clinic with GOO secondary to locally invasive distal gastric cancer between March 1996 and March 2011. Following a complete workup, patients underwent ADGDTR. ADG included the gastric tumor in whole or in part. DT reconstruction consisted of gastrojejunostomy, jejunoduodenostomy, and jejunojejunostomy.Results:In the enrolled patients (n = 7; 5 male; mean age, 71 years [range, 60–83 years]), preoperative comorbidities included anemia (7), diabetes mellitus (2), hepatic cirrhosis (1), cardiac ischemia (1), and Parkinson disease (1). The lesion invaded the pancreas in all patients, and the transverse mesocolon, liver, and mesentery were each involved in 1 patient. Metastatic disease affected the lymph nodes in 5 patients, liver in 1, and peritoneal cavity in 4. Peritoneal lavage cytology was positive in 3 patients and untested in 4. The mean operation time was 207 minutes (range, 150–295 minutes), and mean blood loss was 290 g (range, 110–480 g). Six patients had no postoperative complications, but 1 died of abdominal sepsis. The mean length of hospitalization was 43 days (range, 28–73 days), and mean survival was 8.3 months (range, 2–22 months). Six patients tolerated a low-residue or regular diet postoperatively.Conclusions:ADGDTR provided effective, low-risk palliation and long-term oral ingestion in patients with incurable, locally invasive distal gastric cancer with GOO.
Miguel Angel Asturias and the Literature of the
Indigenismo
Authors: Prieto René 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Miguel Angel Asturias is one of the most radical authors of the twentieth century; his experimental use of language and implementation of up‐to‐the‐minute literary techniques can be readily compared to those of James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and William Faulkner. However, because he wrote in two very different modes – on the one hand, realistic and rather conventional novels and short stories sprinkled with surrealist touches and, on the other, experimental works that challenged the limits of both language and style – few readers tackle his more complex and inventive works. To a certain extent, the extravagance of his own originality deprived Asturias of wider recognition. Among his most original works,
Legends of Guatemala
(1930),
Men of Maize
(1949), and
Mulata
(1963) combine a didactic message with revolutionary narrative structure in a widely influential aesthetic practice.
“Who said it?” How contextual information influences perceived profundity of meaningful quotes and pseudo‐profound bullshit
Authors: Gligorić Vukašin , Vilotijević Ana 
Published: December 2019

SummaryPsychological research on pseudo‐profound bullshit—randomly assembled buzz words plugged into a syntactic structure—has only recently begun. Most such research has focused on dispositional traits, such as thinking styles or political orientation. However, none has investigated contextual factors. In two studies, we introduce a new paradigm by investigating the contextual effect on pseudo‐profound bullshit and meaningful quotes. In Study 1, all participants rated the profundity of statements in three contexts: (a) isolated, (b) as allegedly said by a famous author, or (c) within a vignette (short story). Study 2 serves as a conceptual replication in which participants rated statements in only one of three contexts. Overall, our results demonstrate that although contextual information such as author's name increases the perceived profundity of bullshit, it has an inconsistent effect on meaningful quotes. The present study helps to better understand the bullshit receptivity while offering a new line of research.
Design on nonfragile fuzzy filter for nonlinear time‐delay systems
Authors: Lian Zhi , Shi Peng , Sun Yuan 
Published: December 2019

SummaryThis article studies the problem of nonfragile filtering for delayed nonlinear systems, which are represented by Takagi‐Sugeno (T‐S) affine‐fuzzy model. By employing a reciprocally convex matrix inequality, auxiliary function‐based summation inequalities, S‐procedure, and some decoupled techniques, an improved fuzzy filter design method is proposed. In the design process, uncertainties in filter gains are taken into account, making a contribution to enhancing the robustness of the designed fuzzy filter. This is the first study to propose a nonfragile H∞ filtering method for T‐S affine‐fuzzy systems with time delays. The obtained results enrich the theoretical research of nonlinear systems and provide theoretical guidance for practical applications. Three examples are given to reveal the merits and applicability of the new design techniques.

AbstractThe lack of efficient strategies to address the intrinsic activity, site accessibility, and structural stability issues of metal‐carbon hybrid catalysts is restricting their real‐world implementation on the basis of rechargeable zinc–air batteries. Herein, a dual metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) pyrolysis strategy is developed to regulate the intrinsic activity and porous structure of the derived catalysts, where a Fe2Ni_MIL‐88@ZnCo_zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF), with a hierarchically porous structure, multifunctional components, and an integrated architecture, acts as an ideal precursor to obtain multimetal based porous nanorod (FeNiCo@NC‐P). Benefitting from the synergetic effect of the multimetal components, facilitated reactant accessibility, and the well‐retained integrated structure, the resultant FeNiCo@NC‐P catalyst exhibits an oxygen reduction reaction half‐wave potential of 0.84 V as well as an oxygen evolution reaction potential of 1.54 V at 10 mA cm–2. Furthermore, the practical application of FeNiCo@NC‐P in the zinc–air battery displays a low voltage gap and long‐term durability (over 130 h at a current density of 10 mA cm–2), which outperforms the commercial noble metal benchmarks. This work not only affords a competitive bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst for zinc–air batteries but also paves a new way to design and fabricate MOF‐derived materials with tunable catalytic properties.
Photothermally Directed Assembly of Block Copolymers
Authors: Nowak Samantha R. , Yager Kevin G. 
Published: December 2019

AbstractBlock copolymers self‐assemble into nanoscale morphologies, spontaneously ordering under thermal annealing conditions owing to the chemical incompatibility between the blocks. While the morphologies that form can be rationalized based on equilibrium arguments, the structures seen experimentally are strongly influenced by kinetic effects including process history. Recently, a variety of photothermal processing techniques have been used to control block copolymer ordering. Photothermal methods provide access to extreme conditions, including high temperatures, large heating rates, and sharp thermal gradients. This can correspondingly be used to greatly accelerate block copolymer ordering kinetics, to pattern material order, or to probe fundamental aspects of self‐assembly by exploring process histories.

Published: December 2019

AbstractInvestigating the low efficiency issue of radio frequency‐sputtered nickel oxide (sp‐NiOx)‐based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to a limited understanding of the correlation between perovskite growth and sp‐NiOx on the optoelectronic properties and photovoltaic device performance is critical. Herein, the crystallization of methylammonium (MA) lead iodide (MAPbI3) thin film (obtained from stoichiometric precursor ratio) on sp‐NiOx is shown, resulting in appearance of residual PbI2 grains. This is in contrast to perovskite growth on solution‐processed NiOx. The amount of residual PbI2 is suppressed by 1) adding excess MACl/MAI additives and 2) annealing the perovskite film in MACl/MAI vapor atmosphere. Structural and morphological results reveal significant reduction in the amount of residual PbI2 and enhanced grain size for all the cases while photophysical measurements reveal mitigation of trap/defect sites (within the bulk and at the interfaces) only for MACl/MAI vapor annealing case. As a result, photovoltaic devices exhibit improved performance only for the vapor annealing case. These results elucidate the critical role of maintaining stoichiometric ratio in perovskite and its crystallization on sp‐NiOx by eliminating the associated defects (influenced by sp‐NiOx) in rendering improved performance, which can be insightful to further enhance the performance of PSCs.
Surficial Marangoni Flow‐Induced Growth of Ultrathin 2D Molecular Crystals on Target Substrates

Published: December 2019

Abstract2D molecular crystals (2DMCs) are emerging as excellent candidates for the application of organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), owing to their enhanced charge transport efficiency and long‐range molecular ordering. However, many current methods involve an additional transfer process, which largely hinders the large‐area fabrication of high‐quality, intact 2DMCs for practical applications. Here, an efficient surficial Marangoni flow‐induced self‐assembly (SMFIS) method is developed for the fabrication of 2DMCs directly on target substrates without the need of a transfer process. This method utilizes a solvent/antisolvent system to confine the crystallization field at a liquid/air interface, and then the formed 2DMCs land on the target substrate with the full solvent evaporation. By controlling the vertical convection flow and the spreading coefficient of the solvent/antisolvent system, few‐layer (3–4 layers) 2DMCs are directly produced on the target substrates. The SMFIS method shows no substrate dependency and universal compatibility. With bis(triethylsilylethynyl)anthradithiophene (Dif‐TES‐ADT) as an example, the resulting 2D Dif‐TES‐ADT crystal exhibits an efficient charge transport with high average mobility up to 2.15 cm2 V−1 s−1. The proposed method with general applicability has great potential to be developed as a platform for the growth of high‐quality 2DMCs on the target substrate.

AbstractCrystallographic orientation has a significant impact on the optoelectronic properties of films of quasi‐2D perovskite quantum wells. Here, oxygen‐bearing Lewis bases are employed as additives to explore their ability to modulate spatial uniformity of crystallization and orientation of crystal phases. Different Lewis bases added into the precursor solutions incorporating the large organic ammonium cation, phenethylammonium (PEA+), lead to different crystallization kinetics, which are attributed to the varying stability of intermediate complexes. The microscopic photoluminescence heterogeneity and 2D X‐ray diffraction patterns of the thin films reveal that inclusion of Lewis bases can lead to spatially more uniform crystallization and random orientation, resulting in an enhancement in light‐emitting diode performance. In contrast, quasi‐2D phases formed without Lewis bases show poorer uniformity and preferentially vertical orientation. Comparing the Lewis base properties such as Mayer order unsaturation and polarizability suggests that the ability to weakly coordinate with lead and strongly interact with the large organic ammonium is a key factor in controlling the phase composition favorably toward highly luminescent light‐emitting diodes. This work may be of help to provide insight of what kinds of Lewis bases can be helpful to realize the desired phase composition for high performance of optoelectronic applications.
Gap‐Mode Plasmon‐Induced Photovoltaic Effect in a Vertical Multilayer Graphene Homojunction

Published: December 2019

AbstractGap‐mode plasmons that occur between metallic nanoparticles and metallic films separated by a thin spacer have been widely studied in the field of nano‐optics and plasmonics for enhancing the light–matter interaction of graphene and other two‐dimensional (2D) materials. However, efficient photovoltaic devices using such gap‐mode plasmons have not been achieved because of structural difficulties. Here, a gap‐mode plasmon‐induced asymmetric vertical homojunction photovoltaic device using multilayer graphene is presented. In this structure, the multilayer graphene acts both as a photo‐carrier generation layer and as a spacer for the gap‐mode plasmon. The optical absorption of graphene is further enhanced by the presence of gap‐mode plasmons, and the photoresponse time is extremely short because of the atomically short channel lengths across the vertical direction. The wavelength dependence of the gap‐mode plasmon is also investigated for three devices with different metal electrodes by photocurrent measurement at five different wavelengths and numerical simulations. The device strategies implemented in this work can enhance the performance of graphene‐based vertical photonic devices and can be applied to other 2D materials‐based photonic devices.

AbstractThe spontaneous interaction between noble metals and biological scaffolds enables simple and cost‐effective synthesis of nanomaterials with unique features. Here, plasmonic silver nanorings are synthesized on a ring‐like protein, i.e., a peroxiredoxin (PRX), and used to assemble large arrays of functional nanostructures. The PRX drives the seeding growth of metal silver under wet reducing conditions, yielding nanorings with outer and inner diameters down to 28 and 3 nm, respectively. The obtained hybrid nanostructures are selectively deposited onto a solid‐state 2D membrane made of graphene in order to prepare plasmonic nanopores. In particular, the interaction between the graphene and the PRX allows for the simple preparation of ordered arrays of plasmonic nanorings on a 2D‐material membrane. This fabrication process can be finalized by drilling a nanometer scale pore in the middle of the ring. Fluorescence spectroscopic measurements in combination with numerical simulations demonstrate the plasmonic effects induced in the metallic nanoring cavity. The prepared nanopores represent one of the first examples of hybrid plasmonic nanopore structures integrated on a 2D‐material membrane. The diameter of the nanopore and the atomically thick substrate make this proof‐of‐concept approach particularly interesting for nanopore‐based technologies and applications such as next‐generation sequencing and single‐molecule detection.
