Le chat et la sorcière
Authors: Tassone Claudia 
Published: April 2020

Résumé
Si de nos jours l’image du chat est entourée d’ambiguïté, puisque dans l’imaginaire collectif cette bête représente d’un côté le tendre ami de l’homme, de l’autre le fidèle serviteur du diable, cela est probablement dû à l’imaginaire qu’inspire le Moyen Âge. Tel est du moins le cliché qui alimente nos représentations modernes, où le chat est souvent considéré comme le compagnon par excellence de la sorcière. À l’aide de sources du domaine juridique et démonologique, cette étude se propose donc de reparcourir la naissance et le développement du cliché du chat diabolique. On s’arrêtera sur les premières mentions du chat-diable, adoré par les hérétiques de diverses sectes, et sur les premiers procès de sorcellerie qui ont eu lieu en Suisse, dans le canton de Vaud, où le chat occupe une place de prestige parmi les animaux infernaux. On touchera aussi à la question de la métamorphose des sorcières, abordée surtout dans les traités de démonologie plus tardifs, qui a peut-être renforcé le lien déjà fort entre le chat et la sorcière d’une telle façon qu’il a pu traverser les siècles.
Comment l’animal qui avale Jonas devient-il une baleine?
Authors: Traineau-Durozoy Anne-Sophie 
Published: April 2020

Résumé
Le terme de baleine, qui est utilisé pour la première fois au XIe siècle pour nommer l’animal qui avale Jonas, précède l’identification précise de cette bête évoquée dans l’Ancien Testament. Pour comprendre les mécanismes de cette spécialisation progressive, cet article se propose d’analyser d’abord le contexte d’apparition du mot ‘baleine’ dans les langues vernaculaires aux XIe et XIIe siècles, non seulement pour l’animal du livre de Jonas, mais également pour la constellation de la baleine ou pour la créature marine des bestiaires. Dans un deuxième temps, il étudie, pour les XIIIe et XIVe siècles, la diffusion du mot dans l’espace et dans le temps, et sa coexistence avec d’autres expressions ou termes utilisés pour la créature qui engloutit Jonas; il montre également comment cette bête prend alors des caractéristiques corporelles et morales attribuées à la baleine en général. Enfin, il analyse de quelle manière, au XVe siècle, l’animal biblique, en devenant pleinement baleine au sens naturaliste du terme, perd peu à peu sa dimension symbolique et son pouvoir de fascination.
VOSSEN. An expedition in the modern land of Reynard in 2018
Authors: Daele Rik Van 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The Phoebus Foundation, a Flemish art foundation based on Anglo-Saxon law with philanthropic objectives, founded
by Fernand Huts, the CEO of the Antwerp enterprise Katoen Natie, bought in the spring of 2016 a collection of 350 Reynardian
books, probably the world’s most important collection of Reynard books. In 2018, a huge Reynardian project was created around this
collection, an expedition in which almost 60,000 participants made a cycling trip through the Flemish Waasland, the port of
Antwerp, and Dutch Zeelandic Flanders. Along the route of this experience the visitors explored the medieval Dutch animal story
Van den vos Reynaerde in a creative, playful way, accessible to a large public of families. This paper
aims to detect the success factors of this event as part of the modern experience economy with the help of Alessandro Baricco’s
essay The Barbarians. An Essay On the Mutation of Culture.
The dancing bear from Spain
Authors: Zillén Erik 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The article depicts the intense and at times unpredictable fable transfer in eighteenth-century Europe by tracing
the source text of one of the most acclaimed works in Swedish fable history, Anna Maria Lenngren’s “Björndansen” [The dance of the
bear]. This verse fable, published in Stockholms Posten in 1799 and bringing questions of literary quality and
literary criticism into focus, was classified by the poet herself as “Original.” Twentieth-century scholars have identified a
prose fable, “Björnen, Apan och Swinet” [The bear, the ape, and the swine], printed in the same daily paper in 1784 and translated
from Spanish, as her probable source text. Eagerness to safeguard the poetical autonomy of Lenngren seems, though, to have
restrained scholars from trying to find the Spanish original of the prose translation or to detect its author. Following the
trails of French and German renderings of the Spanish fable about the dancing bear, the article demonstrates that “Björndansen” is
a skilful Swedish recasting of “El Oso, la Mona y el Cerdo” [The bear, the ape, and the swine], one of the 67 verse fables in
Tomás de Iriarte’s innovative Fábulas literarias (1782), a collection presenting a neoclassical poetics in the
form of fable. Placing “Björndansen” within this larger international fable historical context, the article also manages, by means
of comparative analysis, to throw new light on the literary devices of the Swedish masterpiece.
Mobilizing others
Authors: Betz Emma , Taleghani-Nikazm Carmen , Golato Peter 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
“Mobilizing others” takes a holistic perspective on the
practices that we use to get others to act with, and for, us. This
introduction reviews recent conceptual developments, notably ‘recruitment’
(Section 1), and then opens up
new territory by arguing for a more explicit focus on ‘activity’ in
describing how mobilizing moves are accountably produced and understood.
After summarizing existing research on ‘activity’ (2) we highlight how embodiment and temporality figure
crucially in interactants’ use of grammatical, vocal, and embodied resources
to reflexively organize larger courses of action (3). Focusing on ‘situation design’ captures the
importance of the overall activity for the design, placement, and
understanding of mobilizing turns, and makes visible implicit layers of
organization which relevantly shape local conduct.
Mobilizing for the next relevant action
Authors: Taleghani-Nikazm Carmen , Drake Veronika , Golato Andrea , Betz Emma 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
This chapter discusses three different actions speakers
can employ to move between two concurrently ongoing activities, playing
cards and talking. Specifically, we describe three turn formats that
mobilize another participant to perform the next move in a card game: (1)
turns including the discourse marker so, (2) imperatives,
and (3) second-person declaratives.

So-turns and imperative forms are used
to resume a game put on hold, however, imperatives are only used if speakers
have already shown an orientation to game resumption. In contrast,
second-person declaratives are used in situations when one player is not
oriented to the game but others are. In the discussion, we show that turn
formats are sensitive to the multimodal context and participation framework
of the interaction.
Mobilizing others when you have little (recognizable) language
Authors: Antaki Charles , Finlay W.M.L. , Walton Chris 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Getting another person to engage with you is, for most
people, most of the time, a merely trivial challenge. Of course, there are
times when our attempts are awkward, or misfire; nevertheless, usually we
bring them off smoothly and successfully. But it is far from easy if you
have an intellectual impairment; and, a fortiori,
dauntingly challenging if the impairment is profound. For someone with
severe cognitive and communicative incapacity, the attempt to get others to
do things is highly, perhaps entirely, dependent on the others’ doubtful
construction of just what it is that they are supposed to do. This chapter
is about those attempts: how they succeed, and how (as they often do) they
fail.

ABSTRACTSmall extracellular vesicles (sEVs) present fairly distinctive lipid membrane features in the extracellular environment. These include high curvature, lipid‐packing defects and a relative abundance in lipids such as phosphatidylserine and ceramide. sEV membrane could be then considered as a “universal” marker, alternative or complementary to traditional, characteristic, surface‐associated proteins. Here, we introduce the use of membrane‐sensing peptides as new, highly efficient ligands to directly integrate sEV capturing and analysis on a microarray platform. Samples were analysed by label‐free, single‐particle counting and sizing, and by fluorescence co‐localisation immune staining with fluorescent anti‐CD9/anti‐CD63/anti‐CD81 antibodies. Peptides performed as selective yet general sEV baits and showed a binding capacity higher than anti‐tetraspanins antibodies. Insights into surface chemistry for optimal peptide performances are also discussed, as capturing efficiency is strictly bound to probes surface orientation effects. We anticipate that this new class of ligands, also due to the versatility and limited costs of synthetic peptides, may greatly enrich the molecular toolbox for EV analysis.
Surface acoustic waves as a sensitive probe for photoresponsive polarization memory in SrTiO3
Authors: Uzun Y , Gurbuz I , De Jong M P , Van Der Wiel W G 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Transient electric polarization in single crystalline SrTiO3 (STO) substrates was studied by measuring the transmission of surface acoustic waves (SAWs). We applied a large dc electric field (8 × 106 Vm−1) to interdigital transducers (IDTs) on STO substrates in order to induce local piezoelectricity, which is required to generate and transmit SAWs. The resulting electric polarization and the retention thereof were analyzed as a function of time after the applied electric field was removed, by measuring transient SAW signals. The retained polarization turned out to provide strong electromechanical coupling, comparable to that resulting from the dc-field-induced piezoelectricity. SAW signals were observed for more than 30 h (in absence of an external dc electric field), which is evidence for a long-lasting retention of electric polarization. Remarkably, this polarization was found to be rapidly suppressed as the sample was exposed to visible light. By measuring the transient SAW transmission under illumination with light at different wavelengths, we identified photoconductivity and/or acceleration of oxygen vacancy migration by photon-induced splitting of bound vacancy pairs as the main mechanisms behind this photoresponsive memory effect.
Some remarks on the dynamics of the almost Mathieu equation at critical coupling*
Authors: Bjerklöv Kristian 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
We show that the quasi-periodic Schrödinger cocycle with a continuous potential is of parabolic type, with a unique invariant section, at all gap edges where the Lyapunov exponent vanishes. This applies, in particular, to the almost Mathieu equation with critical coupling. It also provides examples of real-analytic cocycles having a unique invariant section which is not smooth.

Abstract
Land-use practices such as mowing and nitrogen (N) fertilization can have significant impacts on plant stoichiometry. However, the interactive effects of mowing and N fertilization on the community-level plant stoichiometry and the underlying processes are not well understood. We examined the impacts of mowing (once a year) and N fertilization (12 g N m−2 yr−1) on the community-level plant stoichiometry in a semi-arid grassland on the Loess Plateau. Results obtained showed that mowing alone had no effect on the community-level plant N or phosphorus (P) concentration. N fertilization alone significantly reduced the community-level plant P concentration, but did not affect the community-level plant N concentration, leading to an enhancement of plant N:P ratio. However, mowing altered the effects of N fertilization, leading to a higher plant N (and P) concentration than the fertilization-only plots. Also, mowing significantly reduced soil nitrate (NO3
−), but increased soil temperature, photosynthetic active radiation, plant diversity, richness and gross ecosystem productivity. In addition, mowing and N fertilization significantly affected plant community composition through shifting dominant plant functional groups (PFGs) (e.g. asteraceae, forbs and grass). Further, our structural equation modeling analysis showed that shifts in PFGs played an important role in regulating plant stoichiometry under mowing and N fertilization. Together, these results illustrate that effective management of mowing and N fertilization may induce changes in soil limiting nutrients and shifts in plant community composition, potentially altering plant N:P stoichiometry at the community level.
Decoration of cellulose nanocrystals with iron oxide nanoparticles

Published: April 2020

Abstract
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are excellent candidates for the design and development of multifunctional biomaterials systems to be used in a variety of technologically relevant applications. They may be used as the structural reinforcement phase of polymer matrices, act as catalyst support constituents, as well as drug delivery vectors. Modifying and functionalizing CNCs by introducing specific functional components can impart electronic, magnetic, catalytic, fluorescence and optical properties to the system. In this work we report the successful in situ tethering of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) onto CNCs by the thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)5 in a H2O/DMF suspension. Following this procedure, IONPs consisting of mixtures of Fe3O4 and Fe2O3 with an average diameter of 20 nm were attached to the CNCs. The type of iron oxide species that was generated was determined by selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and the particle size was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Raman spectroscopy was used to characterize the presence and the nature of the molecular interaction between the IONPs and the CNCs.
Factors associated with the adoption of renewable energy amongst botanical garden members
Authors: Drummond Caitlin , States Sarah L , Wong-Parodi Gabrielle 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
We examine the factors related to the adoption of renewable energy amongst members of a botanical garden. We surveyed botanical garden members roughly seven months after the garden began incentivizing visitors to switch their household energy supplier to a renewable energy provider, offering a free year of membership to those who switched to renewable energy on site. We examine two related research questions: what factors are related to a) already having one’s household run on renewable energy at the time the incentive was put into place and b) switching to renewable energy on site? We find that politically liberal participants were more likely to already use renewable energy, and that younger participants and those who had a pleasant on-site interaction with the renewable energy supplier were more likely to switch to renewable energy on site. We discuss the implications of our findings for encouraging uptake of renewables.
Interlocked attosecond pulse trains in slightly bi-elliptical high harmonic generation
Authors: Bordo Eliyahu , Kfir Ofer , Zayko Sergey , Neufeld Ofer , Fleischer Avner , Ropers Claus , Cohen Oren 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
The ellipticity of high harmonics driven by bi-chromatic (e.g.

ω
−
2
ω

) co-propagating fields can be fully tuned by varying the polarization of the pump components. In order to start revealing the underlying mechanism of this control, we explore a relatively simple regime of this scheme that still gives rise to full control over the harmonics ellipticities. In this regime, the pumps are only slightly elliptical and the high harmonic radiation consists of two (different) interlocked attosecond pulse trains (APTs). We formulate a semi-analytic model that maps the high harmonic ellipticity to properties of the APTs harmonic decompositions. Utilizing this model, we reconstruct these APTs variables from measurements of the high harmonics ellipticities. This ellipticity-resolved spectroscopy of interlocked APTs may be useful for ultrafast probing of chiral degrees of freedom.
Greater Average Meal Planning Frequency Predicts Greater Weight Loss Outcomes in a Worksite-Based Behavioral Weight Loss Program

Published: April 2020

AbstractBackgroundPlanning in behavioral weight loss (BWL) programs helps participants enact changes in eating and exercise, although the direct impact on weight loss is unclear.PurposeTo examine how meal and exercise planning frequencies change in a BWL program and their relations to weight loss outcomes.MethodsParticipants (N = 139) in a 40 week worksite-based BWL program completed a questionnaire regarding meal and exercise planning frequency at Weeks 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 and were weighed weekly. Growth curve models were used to determine trajectories in meal and exercise planning frequency and to assess the role of an individual’s average meal and exercise planning (between-person effect) and individual variation in planning (within-person effect) on body mass index (BMI).ResultsThe best-fitting model, a linear random effect with a quadratic fixed-effect model, demonstrated that meal and exercise planning frequency increased over the course of the program with slowing growth rates. Between participants, higher average meal planning frequency (B = −0.029, t = −3.60), but not exercise planning frequency, was associated with greater weight loss. Within participants, exercise planning, but not meal planning, predicted a higher than expected BMI (B = 3.17, t = 4.21).ConclusionsFrequent meal planning should be emphasized as a continued, as opposed to intermittent, goal in BWL programs to enhance weight loss. Average exercise planning frequency does not impact weight loss in BWL programs; however, acute increases in exercise planning frequency may be a popular coping strategy during a weight loss setback or, alternatively, may lead to increased calorie consumption and weight gain.
Therapeutic targets and signaling mechanisms of vitamin C activity against sepsis: a bioinformatics study
Authors: Li Rong , Guo Chao , Li Yu , Qin Zuqian , Huang Wenjun 
Published: April 2020

Abstract
Sepsis is a life-threatening complication of pneumonia, including coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19)-induced pneumonia. Evidence of the benefits of vitamin C (VC) for the treatment of sepsis is accumulating. However, data revealing the targets and molecular mechanisms of VC action against sepsis are limited. In this report, a bioinformatics analysis of network pharmacology was conducted to demonstrate screening targets, biological functions, and the signaling pathways of VC action against sepsis. As shown in network assays, 63 primary causal targets for the VC action against sepsis were identified from the data, and four optimal core targets for the VC action against sepsis were identified. These core targets were epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), mitogen-activated protein kinase-1 (MAPK1), proto-oncogene c (JUN), and signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 (STAT3). In addition, all biological processes (including a top 20) and signaling pathways (including a top 20) potentially involved in the VC action against sepsis were identified. The hub genes potentially involved in the VC action against sepsis and interlaced networks from the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes Mapper assays were highlighted. Considering all the bioinformatic findings, we conclude that VC antisepsis effects are mechanistically and pharmacologically implicated with suppression of immune dysfunction-related and inflammation-associated functional processes and other signaling pathways. These primary predictive biotargets may potentially be used to treat sepsis in future clinical practice.
dv-trio: a family-based variant calling pipeline using DeepVariant
Authors: Ip Eddie K K , Hadinata Clinton , Ho Joshua W K , Giannoulatou Eleni 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Motivation
In 2018, Google published an innovative variant caller, DeepVariant, which converts pileups of sequence reads into images and uses a deep neural network to identify single-nucleotide variants and small insertion/deletions from next-generation sequencing data. This approach outperforms existing state-of-the-art tools. However, DeepVariant was designed to call variants within a single sample. In disease sequencing studies, the ability to examine a family trio (father-mother-affected child) provides greater power for disease mutation discovery.

Results
To further improve DeepVariant’s variant calling accuracy in family-based sequencing studies, we have developed a family-based variant calling pipeline, dv-trio, which incorporates the trio information from the Mendelian genetic model into variant calling based on DeepVariant.

Targeted domain assembly for fast functional profiling of metagenomic datasets with S3A
Authors: David Laurent , Vicedomini Riccardo , Richard Hugues , Carbone Alessandra 
Published: April 2020

Abstract

Motivation
The understanding of the ever-increasing number of metagenomic sequences accumulating in our databases demands for approaches that rapidly ‘explore’ the content of multiple and/or large metagenomic datasets with respect to specific domain targets, avoiding full domain annotation and full assembly.

Results
S3A is a fast and accurate domain-targeted assembler designed for a rapid functional profiling. It is based on a novel construction and a fast traversal of the Overlap-Layout-Consensus graph, designed to reconstruct coding regions from domain annotated metagenomic sequence reads. S3A relies on high-quality domain annotation to efficiently assemble metagenomic sequences and on the design of a new confidence measure for a fast evaluation of overlapping reads. Its implementation is highly generic and can be applied to any arbitrary type of annotation. On simulated data, S3A achieves a level of accuracy similar to that of classical metagenomics assembly tools while permitting to conduct a faster and sensitive profiling on domains of interest. When studying a few dozens of functional domains—a typical scenario—S3A is up to an order of magnitude faster than general purpose metagenomic assemblers, thus enabling the analysis of a larger number of datasets in the same amount of time. S3A opens new avenues to the fast exploration of the rapidly increasing number of metagenomic datasets displaying an ever-increasing size.

Availability and implementation
S3A is available at http://www.lcqb.upmc.fr/S3A_ASSEMBLER/.
