Divination et révélation en Grèce ancienne
Authors: Bonnechère Pierre 
Published: March 2020

Si la divination est l’une des données les plus fondamentales de la cité antique, l’apparente contradiction entre la divination et le rationalisme, dont les Grecs furent les « inventeurs », a en général conduit les modernes à estomper les signes, les oracles et les prophéties, et ce tant dans les histoires de la religion que dans celles des institutions politiques et sociales.Ce projet d’enseignement est la continuation de plus d’une décennie de recherche sur la divination, et plus particulièrement sur un des oracles les mieux documentés, celui de Trophonios en Béotie. Ce dernier servira de base à l’approfondissement de certains points fondamentaux, tous liés à l’approche méthodologique de la mantique grecque autant qu’au fond du problème.
Anthropologie religieuse de l’Orient musulman médiéval
Authors: Aigle Denise 
Published: March 2020

En continuité avec les séminaires des années précédentes, consacrés à étudier le rôle des arguments religieux dans les correspondances diplomatiques échangées entre Mongols, Occident latin et Mamelouks (xiiie-xive s.), en 2009-2010 nous avons élargi notre questionnement sur l’histoire religieuse de l’Orient musulman en cherchant à comprendre la nature des contacts que l’Empire mongol a favorisés entre l’Extrême-Orient, le monde musulman et l’Occident latin, c’est-à-dire entre différents univers religieux et culturels. Ces recherches ont mobilisé un important corpus de sources (récits de voyage, sources narratives, géographes arabes, dictionnaires turco-arabes, littérature apocalyptique, épigraphie monumentale, etc.), et cela en croisant les points de vue par l’utilisation simultanée d’écrits non seulement en langue arabe et persane, mais également de sources extérieures à l’islam (latines, mongoles et syriaques). En effet, la multiplication des regards favorise la mise à distance critique de chacun des modes de représentation du réel.

Published: March 2020

Le but de ces conférences, qui ont débuté en novembre 2007, est de comprendre comment les figures apostoliques, c’est-à-dire la représentation idéologique des Douze telle qu’elle se dévoile dans les sources, ont été utilisées dans les premiers siècles du christianisme par les différentes Églises.Au cours de l’année 2009-2010, nous avons poursuivi notre enquête en s’intéressant à de nouveaux apôtres. Il m’est agréable de remercier tous les auditeurs de ces conférences qui ne cessent de stimuler ma recherche par leurs réactions et leurs questions.

Published: March 2020

IntroductionThe purpose of the work is an evaluation of the efficiency of therapeutic programmes applied for manual skills in self-service eating, as well as for the motion range of chosen upper limb joints in children aged 2–6 years with mental retardation.MethodsThe research was carried out among 2 groups of children, 12 members each. The methods used to evaluate the effects of the therapy included Sagittal Frontal Transverse Rotation (SFTR) as per International Standard Orthopaedic Measurements (ISOM) and Gunzburg’s PPAC Inventory as adapted by Witkowski. The study presents the results of the therapy in a group run with the Vojta method and in a group run with other paediatric physiotherapy methods.ResultsThe research results have shown no essential difference between the groups at the first measurement (before therapy), a statistically significant difference (an improvement in mobility and function) in the second test in both examined groups, and statistically significant results of comparing the first and second measurement for both methods, mostly in favour of the Vojta group.ConclusionsThe Vojta method therapy is more effective than the other therapeutic methods in improving both upper limbs motion and the self-service function of eating.

Authors: Urbaniak Marcin , Kisilewicz Aleksandra , Klich Sebastian 
Published: March 2020

IntroductionLoss of stability and persistent swelling in patients with subtalar joint injury occur very often. Diaphragm plays an important role in providing proprioceptive information and its proper function remains a key factor reducing swelling in the distal part of the body. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of diaphragm osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) on postural control and swelling reduction.MethodsThe study is a case report describing a 23-year-old male who injured his right subtalar joint during a football match. Before the therapy, a complex physical examination was performed: muscle strength and range of motion of lower limbs evaluation, initial testing of postural control, and the level of swelling determination with the figure-of-eight method. After extensive diagnosis, two OMT techniques were used: doming the diaphragm technique and thoracic pump with respiratory assist technique. Subsequently, the second static stability test and figure-of-eight method were applied.ResultsThe length of the centre of pressure (COP) path with eyes opened decreased by 15%, and with eyes closed by 45%. The surface area circled by the COP path with eyes open decreased by 22%, and with eyes closed by 68%. There was no immediate change in swelling.ConclusionsThe study confirmed the efficacy of diaphragm OMT in improving postural control. Screening for diaphragm dysfunction should be part of complete osteopathic assessment in subtalar joint injury.
As Experimentações Visuais no Teatro de Imagens The Old Woman, de Robert Wilson
Authors: Magalhães Monica Ferreira 
Published: March 2020

Neste artigo analisa-se a construção de sentido no espetáculo teatral The old woman, dirigido por Robert Wilson, com atuações de Mikhail Baryshnikov e Willem Dafoe. A obra se insere no gênero teatro de imagens, uma prática teatral contemporânea marcada por sequências de imagens cujos materiais linguísticos podem ser tratados como quadros. Há uma supremacia dos elementos visuais que não anula a natureza vocal e sonora do espetáculo, mas esta também é tão sinuosa quanto a visual.
A reciprocidade entre o espaço e o tempo que é manipulada pelo diretor americano define seu estilo. Os efeitos de sentido são reconhecidos pela tensão entre o vivo e o lento; entre a aceleração e a desaceleração; entre a continuidade e a descontinuidade que distorcem os objetos cênicos visuais e sonoros. Verifica-se as junções entre as linguagens que compõem o espetáculo, por meio das propostas teóricas e metodológicas da semiótica tensiva desenvolvida por Fontanille e Zilberberg, na qual as articulações entre o inteligível e o sensível estão inscritas na relação entre a extensidade e a intensidade que formam o espaço tensivo. Efeitos que levam os espectadores a sentidos inesperados provocados por Robert Wilson, Dafoe e Baryshnikov ao dizerem o indizível e pintarem o invisível.

The Critical Situation
Authors: Basbøll Thomas 
Published: March 2020

Academic writing is the art of writing down what you know for the purpose of discussing it with other knowledgeable people. In so far as students and scholars approach it in these terms, they often tend to focus on the role of knowledge. Students imagine that they must demonstrate what they know to their examiners (who know more than they do) and scholars imagine that they must communicate what they know to their colleagues (who don’t yet know their results). This is completely understandable since knowledge is at the core of academic work, but both scholars and students sometimes lose sight of the discussion. They think of the discourse as a performance rather than a conversation. In this paper, therefore, I will explore the formation of academic discourse and the building of academic competence in terms of the rhetorical situation (not just the epistemic resources) of academic readers and writers.
This shift of focus has some important implications. Academic writing is not merely the communication of ideas or the transmission of facts; much more importantly, it is the exposure of ideas to criticism. The academic writer is not interested in “ideas worth spreading,” to invoke the famous slogan of TED talk, but in ideas worth testing. To sharpen the point, we might say that academic writers are always writing for people who are qualified to tell them that they are wrong. As writing consultants and information specialists, we help scholars and students face this situation squarely.
Active learning activities

First year architecture students are introduced to the library by taking part in an “Escape Room” activity in the KTH library. The aim of this initiative is to introduce the students to the library space and the library's resources in an interactive and playful way and to enable them to learn and reflect upon their learning within the frame of an active learning activity.1 Another objective with this active learning introduction is to engage students in a collaborative peer-to-peer learning activity that gives them opportunities to share knowledge and solve problems together. In this presentation, we will talk about the introduction in more detail and discuss the benefits of the live-action method as well as share results and improvements.
“Escape room” is a live-action game, developed from a computer game. Gamification is a new trend in education to support cooperation, learn by “doing” and develop new knowledge through a more playful way.2 During the workshop, the students worked in groups, which gave them the opportunity to socialize and learn from each other while solving the tasks on time. The results of the students’ assessment after the game indicates that the students enjoyed the game, the teamwork, the competition and the creativity of the introduction compared to a lecture. They also found it a pedagogical way of learning about the library’s resources. During the workshop, the librarians had the opportunity to adjust instructions that were not clear enough. These adjustments effected the comments in the last group where some answers indicated a wish for more difficult clues.
Using a pod as a platform Library-faculty collaboration
Authors: Eriksson Fredrik 
Published: March 2020

Universities tend to have two main tasks, namely research and education. Since 1999 the law that govern higher education in Sweden added a third task for the universities: to relate to their local environment. In other words they had to reach out with their research to the public.
At the Philosophy department of the Humanities faculty at Lund University we had a meeting amongst the staff of the administration in 2016. Point of the discussion was the third task and how to reach out with our research. An idea, not too original, arose. What about starting a pod? After a few months of discussion regarding what it should contain, how to record and who should produce we were on our way.
Fast forward 3 years we have recorded 30 episodes with philosophers on all levels on varying subjects such as Free Will, Epistemology and the Philosophy of Truth. To date we have over 15000+ listeners all over the world.
So why should a librarian engage in such activity? Well, first of all it’s a fantastic way to learn about your subjects and get to know your researchers. For the library it’s also meaningful to package research, sort it and make it available to people all over the world for a very, very long time. This with a minimal effort regarding time and resources.
Prospects of Precision Farming in Sugarcane Agriculture to Harness the Potential Benefits
Authors: Sanghera Gulzar S. , Kumar Arvind , Bhatt Rajan 
Published: March 2020

Sugarcane on one side considered important for crop diversification and important for human civilization while on other sugar industry is facing a long term losses in terms of monetary issues. Moreover, farmer is also not clear about which techniques is to adopt for practising the sugarcane cultivation for precision farming. Therefore, range of new sugarcane cultivation technologies pertaining to its cultivars, fertilization, weed control, insect-pest and disease control needs to be invented and recommended to the cane farmers. Precision farming is an approach where inputs are utilised in precise amounts to get increased average yields, compared to traditional cultivation techniques. Adoption of precision agriculture in sugarcane has been slow due to a wide range of uncertainties and conflicting opinions. There is need to reduce cost of cultivation and to improve the canes yield and quality by adopting precision sugarcane techniques. In developing countries like India, Pakistan etc. precision agricultural techniques if adopted, is a powerful tool and should be started with a basic, affordable and effective integration of technologies and practices. Present article aims to review published and unpublished information on precision sugarcane farming must be applied for improving the cane yield and quality so as to improve livelihoods of the cane farmers.

Published: March 2020

Biguanides [HN=C(NR1R2)-NH-C(NR3R4)=NH] constitute an important family of molecules used as drugs in the treatment of diabetes. When R1=R2=R3=R4=H the molecule is named simply “biguanide”. The five nitrogen atoms are potential coordination sites. Several experimental works published in literature show that in complex state, therapeutic properties of the active molecules increase considerably. In fact, the chlorine atom, a preferred substitute in pharmacy, improves the effectiveness of these drugs by increasing their activities and also by reducing their side effects. Recent experiments with Zinc complexes on diabetic animals have been very successful.
In the present work a theoretical study of the coordination of N-chlorine derivatives of N-deprotonated tautomer of biguanide has been carried out. The aim is to determine, among the five nitrogen and chlorine atoms, the site most favorable to the coordination of these ligands. This determination is based on some coordination indicators.
The calculations were performed by the DFT / B3LYP method in the 6-31G (d, p) orbital basis set with the Gaussian 09 and Gaussian 03 software. The DCENT-QSAR program was also used.
The results of the various calculations revealed the imine nitrogen atoms as the most favorable coordination sites in the studied N-chlorosubstituted derivatives of N-deprotonated tautomeric biguanide. Complexes of these ligands with Zn (II) were modelled. The chlorine atom proved unfavorable to coordination.

Authors: Qureshi Mehak , Yousuf Awhad Mueed 
Published: March 2020

Background: Road Traffic Accidents (RTAs) are an important cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide and are highly on rise. Its socioeconomic repercussions are a matter of great concern. In order to control the losses created due to RTA, it is important to study its causative factors.
Aim and Objectives: To study the various epidemiological factors related to road traffic accident cases.
Methodology: It was a Cross-sectional study that was conducted in two tertiary care hospitals of Kashmir (Government Hospital for Bone and Joint surgery, Barzulla and SMHS Hospital, Srinagar) from Oct 2018 to Nov 2018. Study participants were RTA patients coming to the Emergency of these two hospitals. A pretested semi-structured interview schedule was used to collect necessary information regarding the accident.
Results: RTAs affected mainly the people of productive age group (20-40 years) which were predominantly male. Approximately 1/6th of the victims were illiterate and 2/5th of the victims were unemployed. Most of the accidents occurred on Saturdays (26%) and Sundays (22.5%) while less number of accidents was reported on Tuesdays (5.0%) and Wednesdays (5.0%). Most of the accidents (39%) occurred between 16:01 to 20:00 hours. Use of Safety measures (helmet/seatbelt) was reported by only 24% of the cases. Two wheeler drivers were more (61.5%) involved in accidents (61.5%). Weather condition at the time of accident in majority of the cases (53.5%) was found to be sunny.
Conclusion: Most of the factors that are responsible for RTA and its multiple consequences are preventable. A comprehensive programme can reduce the prevalence of RTA to a great degree.
Polymer‐Based Porous Microcapsules as Bacterial Traps
Authors: Luo Rongcong , Pashapour Sadaf , Staufer Oskar , Platzman Ilia , Spatz Joachim P. 
Published: March 2020

AbstractExposure to live bacteria and accumulation of dead bacteria during bactericidal processes can cause bacterial infectious diseases, implant failure, and antibacterial surface deterioration. Microcapsules with asymmetrically distributed, funnel‐shaped pores, which are capable of capturing, retaining, and killing bacteria are developed, offering a solution to bacterial contamination in liquids. It is found that bacterial isolation inside microcapsules is mainly driven by the bacteria's own motility and the microcapsules' geometry. After entry into the microcapsule cavity, the bacteria are stably retained inside. The microcapsules shield surrounding cells from exposure to bacterial toxins, as demonstrated by the coculture of rat embryonic fibroblast cells with microcapsules loaded with live Escherichia coli. The microcapsules can be enhanced with a bactericidal coating covering only the interior cavity. This confines the bacteria‐killing process, thereby further increasing biocompatibility. The microcapsules may offer a viable bacteria combatant approach as a potentially advantageous method to eradicate bacterial contamination.

Published: March 2020

AbstractPerovskite solar cells (PSCs) have received great attention due to their outstanding performance and their low processing costs. To boost their performance, one approach is to reinforce the built‐in electric field (BEF) to promote oriented carrier transport. The BEF is maximized by reinforcing the work function difference between cathode and anode (Δμ1) and increasing the work function difference between lower and upper surfaces of perovskite film (Δμ2) via introduction of electric dipole molecules, denoted as PTFCN and CF3BACl. The synergistic reinforcement of BEF improves charge transport and collection, and realizes markedly high photovoltaic performances with the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 21.5%, a growth of 15.6% as compared to the control device, which is higher than the superposition of improvements achieved by either raising Δμ1 or Δμ2. Importantly, dual‐functional CF3BACl not only supplies dipole effect for tuning the surface potential of perovskite but offers hydrophobic trifluoride group toward the long‐term stable unencapsulated PSCs retaining more than 95% PCE after storing 2000 h under ambient conditions. This work demonstrates the synergistic effect of Δμ1 and Δμ2, providing an effective strategy for the further development of PSC in terms of photovoltaic conversion and stability.
Carbon Vesicles: A Symmetry‐Breaking Strategy for Wide‐Band and Solvent‐Processable Ultrablack Coating Materials

Published: March 2020

AbstractSolvent‐processable ultrablack materials have obvious application convenience in many situations, such as absorbing coatings on large and complex surfaces. However, developing solvent‐processable ultrablack materials with high light‐absorption performance and wide absorption band remains a great challenge. In this article, carbon vesicles (CVs) are fabricated for solvent‐processable ultrablack coating. The fabrication process involves a templated co‐condensation of silica and resorcinol formaldehyde resin (RF resin), followed by carbonization and template removal. The resultant structure shows a very thin inner layer, a rough outer layer, as well as a nano‐porous interlayer. This structure introduces randomness and breaks the spherical symmetry of the common carbon hollow spheres. As a result, structural color due to inner‐particle interference is avoided. In addition, the as‐fabricated CVs show a wide‐band low reflectance because of its low carbon filling ratio and nanoscale scatterer size. The lowest reflectance reaches ≈0.10% at 360 nm, making it the darkest solvent‐processable ultrablack material ever reported. The symmetry‐breaking strategy presented here provides an efficient way for the design of solvent‐processable ultrablack materials.
Quantum Theory of Contact Electrification for Fluids and Solids
Authors: Willatzen Morten , Lew Yan Voon Lok C. , Wang Zhong Lin 
Published: March 2020

AbstractA unified quantum‐mechanical model of contact electrification that provides a microscopic basis for the Volta–Helmholtz–Montgomery hypothesis is presented. The model can represent metals, semiconductors, or insulators, in either fluid or solid phase, and with an effective electron transfer parameter as the driving mechanism. Known experimental results such as the charging of similar materials, the charging of similar materials with different contact orientation, the surface charge mosaic, and the higher efficiency of charge transfer for a liquid–solid contact, compared to a solid–solid one, are reproduced. A quantum‐mechanical charge oscillation in the femtosecond to picosecond regime is predicted to take place. Coulomb interaction is found to have an impact on not just the charge transferred but also the period of charge oscillation.
