La méthode liste. Textualité et créativité
Authors: Mahrer Rudolf 
Published: February 2019

Pourquoi certains scripteurs dressent-ils des listes lorsqu’ils préparent un texte ? Pour répondre à cette question, l’auteur envisage la liste comme une pratique langagière graphique, caractérisable par sa forme textuelle et l’action qu’elle effectue (l’énumération). À partir d’une définition de l’énumération et d’une description linguistique de la liste, comme trace et ressource de l’action énumérative, cette contribution propose de dégager les propriétés (fixation, prédisposition, dérivation) qui rendent compte de son usage en contexte d’invention. En conclusion, à partir d’un corpus d’une trentaine de cas, s’esquisse une répartition des usages génétiques de la liste sur deux axes (liste native vs tardive, locale vs globale), puis une typologie d’usages fréquents (liste d’invention, liste sélective, liste documentaire et liste récapitulative).
Women in Wartime
Authors: Howell Geraldine 
Published: February 2019

Picture Post magazine was made famous by its pioneering photojournalism, which vividly captured a panorama of wartime events and the ordinary lives affected. This book is the first to examine this fascinating primary source as a cultural record of women’s dress history. Reading the magazine’s visual narratives from 1938 to 1945, it weaves together the ways in which design, style and fashion were affected by, and responded to, the state of being at war - and the new gender roles it created for women.
From the working class of Whitechapel to the beach sets of the Bahamas, and from well-heeled Mayfair to middle-class New York, Women in Wartime takes a wide-angled lens to the fashions and lifestyles of the women featured in Picture Post. Exploring the nature of femininity and the struggle to be fashionable during the war, the book reveals critical connections between clothing and social culture.
Drawing on a unique range of photographs, Women in Wartime presents a living history of how women’s clothing choices reflect changing perceptions of gender, body, and class during an era of unprecedented social change.
Jewellery in the Age of Modernism 1918–1940
Authors: Bliss Simon 
Published: February 2019

Why has jewellery and body adornment often been marginalized in studies of modernist art and design? This study explores the relationship between jewellery, modernism and modernity from the ‘jazz age’ to the second world war in order to challenge the view that these portable art forms have only a minor role to play in histories of modernism.
From the masterworks of the Parisian jewellery houses to the film and photography of Man Ray, this study seeks to present jewellery in a new light, where issues of representation and display are considered to be as important in the creation of a modern ‘jewellery culture’ as the objects themselves.
Drawing on material from museums, archives, contemporary journals, memoirs, literary and theoretical texts, this study shows how the emergence of modern jewellery began to seriously question conventional notions of body adornment.
Global joint assimilation of GRACE and SMOS for improved estimation of root-zone soil moisture and vegetation response

Published: February 2019

Abstract. The lack of direct measurement of root-zone soil moisture poses a challenge
to the large-scale prediction of ecosystem response to variation in soil
water. Microwave remote sensing capability is limited to measuring moisture
content in the uppermost few centimetres of soil. The GRACE (Gravity Recovery
and Climate Experiment) mission detected the variability in storage within
the total water column. However, root-zone soil moisture cannot be separated
from GRACE-observed total water storage anomalies without ancillary
information on surface water and groundwater changes. In this study, GRACE
total water storage anomalies and SMOS near-surface soil moisture
observations were jointly assimilated into a hydrological model globally to
better estimate the impact of changes in root-zone soil moisture on
vegetation vigour. Overall, the accuracy of root-zone soil moisture estimates
through the joint assimilation of surface soil moisture and total water
storage retrievals showed improved consistency with ground-based soil
moisture measurements and satellite-observed greenness when compared to
open-loop estimates (i.e. without assimilation). For example, the correlation
between modelled and in situ measurements of root-zone moisture increased
by 0.1 (from 0.48 to 0.58) and 0.12 (from 0.53 to 0.65) on average for
grasslands and croplands, respectively. Improved correlations were found
between vegetation greenness and soil water storage on both seasonal
variability and anomalies over water-limited regions. Joint assimilation
results show a more severe deficit in soil water anomalies in eastern
Australia, southern India and eastern Brazil over the period of 2010 to 2016
than the open-loop, consistent with the satellite-observed vegetation
greenness anomalies. The assimilation of satellite-observed water content
contributes to more accurate knowledge of soil water availability, providing
new insights for monitoring hidden water stress and vegetation conditions.
Análise dos impactos dos vazios urbanos na produção do espaço da cidade de Terra Boa (PR), Brasil
Authors: Gusmão Paulo Sérgio , Bovo Marcos Clair 
Published: February 2019

A pesquisa traz à tona uma temática pouco discutida na área de Geografia, ou seja, trata-se dos vazios urbanos que são espaços ociosos que atingem as cidades pequenas, médias e grandes. A produção desses espaços geram problemas e estão voltados para o atendimento de interesses particulares, especialmente aos dos agentes fundiários, ou para garantir a manutenção da especulação imobiliária por parte dos promotores imobiliários. Diante disso, os vazios urbanos impedem o cumprimento da função social da propriedade, quando não propicia a garantia da qualidade de vida da população. Fato esse que contribui, sobremaneira, para a segregação urbana ao impedir o acesso da maioria da população a esses terrenos devido ao alto custo que é resultado da especulação imobiliária, além de causar problemas ambientais e de proliferação de doenças. Assim sendo, a pesquisa objetiva analisar as condições de produção e de reprodução do fenômeno dos vazios urbanos inseridos na área central da cidade de Terra Boa-PR. Como aporte metodológico utilizou-se: pesquisa bibliográfica, levantamento de campo e referencial técnico. Os resultados indicam que os vazios urbanos, especificamente os especulativos, são uma realidade presente na área central de Terra Boa (PR), sendo que 6,38% dos imóveis são lotes não edificados, conservados com vista à valorização futura, por meio da especulação imobiliária. Desse modo, constata-se que esse fenômeno ocorre nessa cidade por conter os elementos necessários ao atendimento dos interesses dos agentes produtores do espaço urbano.

Introduction:
Recurrent disk herniation treatment aims to optimize outcomes. This study compares the demographics and patient-reported outcomes of patients who underwent primary or revision lumbar microdiskectomy surgery for recurrent disk herniation.

Methods:
A retrospective cohort analysis was performed of consecutive patients who underwent primary or revision lumbar microdiskectomies between January 2008 and December 2015. Patients were divided into two groups: primary (primary) and revision (recurrent). Herniated disks were confirmed preoperatively using MRI. Patient-reported outcomes included Visual Analog Scales (VAS) scores for the back and leg, Oswestry Disability Index scores, 12-Item Short Form Mental and Physical Survey scores, and the Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Mental and Physical Survey scores.

Results:
One hundred ten patients met inclusion criteria: 72 from primary cohort and 38 from recurrent cohort. Recurrent patients experienced presurgical symptoms for significantly less time. On bivariate analysis, recurrent patients reported significantly worse preoperative VAS-back and VAS-leg scores. On multivariate analysis, recurrent patients reported significantly worse postoperative VAS-back, VAS-leg, and Oswestry Disability Index scores. Recurrent patients were less likely to be satisfied with surgical outcomes and to feel that surgery had met or exceeded their expectations.

Conclusion:
Patients undergoing revision microdiskectomy are likely to experience worse postoperative symptoms and disability relative to patients undergoing primary microdiskectomy.

Published: February 2019

El siguiente artículo analiza la potencialidad para el fomento de la competencia digital que conllevan las apps sobre el patrimonio cultural en el estado español. Para ello, se ha empleado el método OEPE integrando una herramienta elaborada ad hoc para el análisis de estas aplicaciones que cuenta con cinco dimensiones. Para este estudio se ha tomado en cuenta el marco teórico para la competencia digital DigComp propuesta por la Unión Europea y se han extrapolado las variables afines extraídas de la herramienta a este marco. La muestra ha sido de 88 apps seleccionadas a partir de la adaptación de los filtros de inclusión/ exclusión del OEPE para apps de temática patrimonial. Los resultados muestran un impulso bajo en las habilidades más complejas para el desarrollo de la competencia digital, siendo el área del tratamiento de la información la más enriquecedora y la creación de contenidos la menos trabajada.
The following article analyses the potential for the development of the Digital Competence of the Spanish apps which subject is the cultural heritage. To carry out this study the OEPE method has been used, integrating an ad hoc tool for the analysis of these applications. For the theoretical framework, it has been taken into account the variables and standards proposed by DigComp’s project done by the European Union and those criteria have been extrapolated to our tool’s dimensions. The sample consisted of 88 apps selected from the adaptation of OEPE’s inclusion/exclusion filters for heritage theme apps. The results show a low impulse in the most complex skills for the development of the Digital Competence, being the area of the information treatment the most enriching and the creation of content the least worked

Published: February 2019

El propósito de este estudio ha sido diseñar y validar el instrumento de recogida de información Museo y Escuela, relación y uso para la enseñanza de la historia destinado a docentes (MUSELA DOC). En el procedimiento de análisis se valoraron las características psicométricas del instrumento, su validez de contenido, confiabilidad y validez de constructo adoptando un diseño descriptivo analítico, fundamentalmente cuantitativo. Las estrategias utilizadas fueron un estudio piloto y un análisis externo en el que participaron dieciocho expertos. Los participantes debían valorar el instrumento utilizando una escala de validación, diseñada ad hocy estructurada en tres partes diferenciadas. La escala se componía de cinco dimensiones que sustentan las bases conceptuales del instrumento. El análisis de la confiabilidad del cuestionario, mediante el método alfa de Cronbach, ha arrojado un coeficiente de .57 para los 38 ítems analizados de la escala global, lo que indica una consistencia interna moderada. MUSELA se establece como uno de los primeros instrumentos de recogida de información cuantitativa sometidos a un proceso de validación y encargado de analizar la planificación y modos de colaboración entre el museo y la educación formal.
The purpose of this study was to design and validate the Museum and School information collection tool, relationship and use for teaching history to teachers (MUSELA DOC). The analysis procedure consists of the study of the psychometric characteristics of the instrument, its validity of content, reliability and construct validity. The quantitative design is analytical descriptive. The strategies used were a pilot study and an external analysis in which eighteen experts participated. The participants had to assess the instrument using a validation scale, designed ad hoc and structured in three different parts (presentation of the purpose of the research and the objectives of the questionnaire, instructions for completion, items that should be analyzed according to the adequacy, relevance, relevance and orthographic correction through a scale of numerical estimation with five values).The scale consisted of five dimensions that support the conceptual basis of the instrument. The analysis of the reliability of the questionnaire, using Cronbach's alpha method, has shown a coefficient of .57 for the 38 items analyzed on the global scale, which indicates a moderate internal consistency. Two questions have had to be excluded from the analytical process because they do not have enough variability.

Published: February 2019

Abstract

Background:
Multiple sclerosis (MS) results in impairments in cognitive and motor skills, which may reduce the level of activity participation in people with MS. This study compares past and current levels of activity participation in adults with MS and controls. The relationship between retained activity participation (since diagnosis) and cognitive, motor, functional status, and depression symptoms of persons with MS was examined.

Methods:
Twenty-seven individuals with MS living in the community and 21 controls completed cognitive and motor tests and rated their activity participation (using the Activity Card Sort), depression symptoms, and functional status.

Results:
The MS group reported significantly lower current activity participation than the control group. Percentage of retained activity participation (from prediagnosis to current) in the MS group correlated with time since diagnosis, executive function and motor skill ability, depression symptoms, and current functional status.

Conclusions:
Persons with MS report negative changes in activity participation in most aspects of life after diagnosis. These findings call attention to changes in activity participation in people with MS that are directly related to disease symptoms. Therefore, using a quantitative measure of activity participation—the Activity Card Sort—can provide important information to aid the clinician in developing individualized treatment goals for people with MS.

Authors: Olowo Bamikole E. , Dairo David M. , Adekunle Olajide A. 
Published: February 2019

Condom usage is one of the most effective strategies for combating the spread of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Despite increased sexual knowledge, adolescents in Nigeria are poor condom users. They are less likely than adults to consistently use condoms or other methods of protection that could reduce their chances of infection. The objective of the study was to describe the trend in the condom usage and to determine the association between demographic variables and condom usage among youths aged 15-24 years from1999-2008.
A comparative cross-sectional population based study was carried out in which a secondary data review analyses of Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) 1999, 2003 and 2008 data were done. Statistical package of social science version 17.0 was used for determining frequencies, chi square and the p-values.
There was a significant increase in the usage of condom from 8.2% in 1999 to 9.3% in 2008 to 10.5% in 2008 among the female youths, though the percentages are still very low. There was an insignificant increase in condom usage among the male youths from 31.1% in 1999 to 38.7% in 2003 and then a decrease to 36.8% in 2008. There was significant association between the urban dwellers, 20-24 years age group, Christians, literate and single female youths and condom usage over the years while the rural dwellers, single and literate male youths experienced significant increase in condom usage over the years at p<0.05.
Condom usage by youths significantly increased over the years. However, the increase is still considered low and not enough to effectively reduce the prevalence of HIV and AIDS. Religion, marital status, age group, education and literacy are variables that influenced condom usage by young people. Campaign on the usage of condom during sexual intercourse among young people at every level of education, urban or rural residence, age group and religion should be intensified.

Authors: Misra Sourav , Roy Tuhin 
Published: February 2019

Aims: Human interference is the most important factor to change the LULC pattern over the earth surface. Land cover means to the physical parameters and land use means the cultural components. The present study associated with the changes in land uses a land cover pattern for the simultaneous changes of geomorphic features as well as the changes in the course of the river. This work is mainly going to summarize the changing behavior of land use land cover areas of a river bank in several decades.
Place and duration of the Study: The research area traced in between 24°00’00’’N to 23°16’15’’N and 88°12’00’’E to 88°28’00’’E, which is situated in the eastern part of Purba Bardhaman District, West Bengal.
Methodology: Entire study made by GIS techniques through the uses of topographical sheet (SOI-1960, Scale 1:50,000) and Satellite data (2002, 2008 & 2016). Through the help of superimposition technique the changes of river course have been identified which is directly affecting the LULC pattern of the entire flood plain.
Result: The study reveals that the entire area changes their LULC pattern which reflects the entire flood plain.
Conclusion: Due to the high interference of human physical elements as well as water bodies, sand bar, fallow lands are being decreased in past decades, whereas settlement patches are continuously growing up. It means for the necessity of human livelihood human always have been modifying the land in different ways.

AbstractObjectiveWe present an exploratory study for identification of sex differences in imaging biomarkers that could further refine selection of patients for acute reperfusion therapy and trials based on sex and imaging targets.MethodsThe Lesion Evolution in Stroke and Ischemia On Neuroimaging (LESION) study included consecutive acute stroke patients who underwent MRI within 24 h of time from last known well and prior to therapy. Those demonstrating a potential therapeutic target on imaging were identified by presence of: (1) arterial occlusion on angiography, (2) focal ischemic region on perfusion maps, or (3) a mismatch of perfusion versus diffusion imaging lesion size. The prevalence of imaging targets within clinically relevant time intervals was calculated for each patient and examined. The relationship of time from stroke onset to probability of detection of imaging targets was evaluated.ResultsOf 7007 patients screened, of which 86.7% were scanned with MRI, 1092 patients (477/615 men/women) were included in LESION. The probability of imaging target detection was significantly different between men and women, with women more likely to present with all assessed imaging targets, odds ratios between 1.36 and 1.59, P < 0.02, adjusted for NIHSS, age, and time from last known well to MRI scan. This trend held for the entire 24‐h studied.InterpretationWomen present more often with treatable ischemic stroke than men. The greater probability of potentially viable and/or treatable imaging targets in women at all time points suggests that tissue injury is slower to evolve in women.
Long Cycle Life Lithium Metal Batteries Enabled with Upright Lithium Anode

Published: February 2019

AbstractThe lithium metal anode is the holy grail of the battery field due to its lowest reduction potential and high specific capacity; however, its application is hindered by severe safety hazards and inferior cyclic stability due to dendrites and unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). Aiming at these problems, a coiled Li anode with a unique upright structure is proposed. The upright structure endows coiled Li anode with abundant inner reaction interface/space/mass for lithium deposit/storage/transport, which can induce the inner growth of Li dendrites and SEI. The Li+ transport/deposit behavior and mechanism of coiled Li anode are clarified via in situ observation and numerical simulation. Benefiting from the small volume expansion and sufficient Li+ transport, the coiled Li anodes combined with Li4Ti5O12 cathodes achieve a long life of over 2000 cycles at 5C with a reversible capacity of 129 mAh g−1 and 100% Coulombic efficiency.
Textile‐Based Wireless Pressure Sensor Array for Human‐Interactive Sensing

Published: February 2019

AbstractA textile‐based wireless pressure sensor array (WiPSA) is proposed for flexible remote tactile sensing applications. The WiPSA device is composed of a fabric spacer sandwiched by two separate layers of passive antennas and ferrite film units. Under the external pressure, the mechanical compression of the flexible fabric spacer leads to an inductance change, which can further be transduced to a detectable shift of the resonant frequency. Importantly, WiPSA integrates the ferrite film featuring an ultrahigh permeability, which effectively improves the device sensitivity and avoids the interference of conductive materials simultaneously. The device performance with a high quality factor (>35) and sensitivity (−0.19 MHz kPa−1) within a pressure range of 0–20 kPa is demonstrated. In addition, WiPSA achieves excellent reproducibility under periodical pressures (>20 000 cycles), temperature fluctuations (15–103 °C), and humidity variations (40–99%). As a proof of concept for human‐interactive sensing, WiPSA is successfully 1) integrated with a flexible wrist band for fingertip pressure‐guided direction choices, 2) developed into a smart wireless insole to map the plantar stress distributions, and 3) embedded into a waist‐supporting belt to resolve the contact pressure between the belt and human abdomen in a remote transmitting scheme.
