Géochimie de l'or et du cuivre dans les formations latéritiques argileuses du Mont Flotouo (Ity, Côte d'Ivoire)
Authors: Granier Claude Louis , Lajoinie Jean-Pierre , Vitali C. 
Published: November 2018

La prospection géochimique est couramment utilisée pour de nombreux métaux dont les conditions de dispersions mécaniques et chimiques sont connues. Pour l'or, l'utilisation directe de la prospection géochimique a toujours été évitée par l'emploi d'éléments accompagnateurs comme indicateurs. L'exemple que nous donnons illustre les possibilités d'utilisation directe des dosages d'or pour les études géochimiques.
Les conditions de gîte nous ont permis d'indiquer parallèlement le comportement du cuivre. La comparaison des auréoles de ces deux métaux fait apparaître l'identité des figures de dispersions. L'exemple choisi est d'autre part une illustration des possibilités offertes par les méthodes géochimiques dans les régions tropicales couvertes par des formations latéritiques épaisses.
Étude thermodynamique de l'équilibre quartz + olivine ⇆ 2 pyroxènes
Authors: Weisbrod Alain 
Published: November 2018

Les possibilités de stabilité de l'association quartz–olivine sont étudiées du point de vue thermodynamique. Le cas de l'équilibre forstérite + quartz ⇆ 2 enstatite est tout d'abord envisagé ; il ne présente aucune difficulté car toutes les données thermochimiques nécessaires au calcul sont connues. Par contre, en raison du manque de données concernant la ferrosilite (chaleur spécifique, entropie «standard »), il n'en est plus de même pour l'équilibre fayalite + quartz ⇆ 2 ferrosilite.
La mise en évidence de « lois » empiriques relatives aux chaleurs spécifiques et entropies « standard » des composés oxygénés du fer et du magnésium permet de lever cette difficulté et de mener ainsi le calcul à terme.
On peut en conclure que l'association quartz–olivine est toujours instable, quelles que soient la température, la pression et la composition du péridot. Le fait que la fayalite puisse exister dans certaines roches en présence de quartz doit alors être expliqué, soit par des considérations d'ordre cinétique (association métastable), soit par le déplacement éventuel des conditions d'équilibre dû à la présence d'éléments tels que Ca, Al, etc. Il est enfin possible que l'unique donnée concernant la chaleur spécifique de la ferrosilite à 60° C soit entachée d'une erreur assez importante.
Étude minéralogique et pétrographique d'un filon-couche microgranitique. Relations avec les expériences de synthèse
Authors: Goñi Juan C. , Picada Rubem Souza 
Published: November 2018

Dans l'État de Rio Grande do Sul, Brésil, nous avons étudié un filon-couche de 60 m d'épaisseur, intrusif dans des grès feldspathiques d'âge éo-paléo-zoïque, qui présente une variation minéralogique et pétrographique des épontes vers le centre. La partie centrale est en effet constituée par un microgranite micropegmatitique, alors que les zones externes du filon sont formées de felsites, avec des transitions représentées par des rhyolites sphérolitiques. Les micropegmatites proviennent de l'évolution des sphérolites felsitiques et couronnes fibreuses de même nature qui auréolaient les phénocristaux de quartz et de feldspaths alcalins, avec conservation des orientations originelles. Cette évolution est due à l'action des fluides, surtout l'eau sous-pression, dans les parties centrales du filon, où le refroidissement a été beaucoup plus lent. De plus, nous avons réalisé des diagrammes structurologiques des phénocristaux de quartz et du quartz de la micropegmatite qui nous ont permis de mettre en évidence la direction de l'épanchement de la lave, ainsi que l'existence d'un écoulement laminaire au centre du filon, et d'un écoulement turbulent sur les bords.
On a pu ainsi vérifier les expériences de synthèse effectuées au laboratoire par J. Wyart et ses collaborateurs.
Crystal-chemical evolution of amphiboles from eclogitised rocks of the Sesia-Lanzo Zone, Italian Western Alps
Authors: Ungaretti Luciano , Lombardo Bruno , Domeneghetti Chiara , Rossi Giuseppe 
Published: November 2018

The amphiboles occurring in amphibolites and amphibole eclogites from the Sesia-Lanzo Zone have been studied with single-crystal X-ray diffractometry and electron microprobe analysis. The crystal chemical evolution from brown pre-Alpine hornblende to blue-green amphibole equilibrated under eclogite conditions has been followed in detail and interpreted in terms of P,T changes and bulk chemical control. The main compositional changes induced by increasing pressure from ~ 7 to ~ 15 kbar and decreasing temperature from ~ 700 to ~ 550 °C, are the expulsion of Ti from the octahedral M2 site and the transformation of Al(IV) into Al(VI), balanced by Na moving from the A to the M4 site, until ~ 0.5 Al(TV) and ~ 0.25 Na atoms p.f.u. in the A site are reached. The Na-occupancy at the M4 site and the trivalent octahedral cation contents are controlled by bulk rock composition.
In completely re-equilibrated rocks, lacking any pre-Alpine relics, glaucophane or an almost colourless calcic-sodic amphibole, again characterized by ~ 0.5 Al(IV) and ~ 0.25 Na at the A site, has been found. These two compositionally-different amphiboles are compatible with the P,T conditions estimated for the Sesia-Lanzo eclogite rocks and plot on opposite sides of a compositional gap, which is related to the sum of the formal charges given by the site-population of (A + M4). A comparison is made with sodic and sodic-calcic amphiboles from other eclogites recently studied by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry.
Simulating the Collapse of a Thick Accretion Disk due to a Type I X-Ray Burst from a Neutron Star
Authors: Fragile P. Chris , Ballantyne David R. , Maccarone Thomas J. , Witry Jason W. L. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
We use two-dimensional, general relativistic, viscous, radiation hydrodynamic simulations to study the impact of a Type I X-ray burst on a hot and geometrically thick accretion disk surrounding an unmagnetized, non-rotating neutron star. The disk is initially consistent with a system in its low/hard spectral state, and is subject to a burst that rises to a peak luminosity of 1038 erg s−1 in 2.05 s. At the peak of the burst, the temperature of the disk has dropped by more than three orders of magnitude and its scale height has gone down by more than one order of magnitude. The simulations show that these effects predominantly happen due to Compton cooling of the hot plasma, and clearly illustrate the potential cooling effects of bursts on accretion disk coronae. In addition, we demonstrate the presence of Poynting–Robertson drag, though it only enhances the mass accretion rate onto the neutron star by a factor of ∼3–4 compared to a simulation with no burst. Simulations such as these are important for building a general understanding of the response of an accretion disk to an intense X-ray impulse, which, in turn, will be crucial for deciphering burst spectra. Detailed analysis of such spectra offers the potential to measure neutron star radii, and hence constrain the neutron star equation of state, but only if the contributions coming from the impacted disk and its associated corona can be understood.

Abstract
The Pierre Auger Collaboration (Auger) recently reported a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energies above 39 EeV and the flux pattern of 23 nearby starburst galaxies (SBGs). In this Letter, we tested the same hypothesis using cosmic rays detected by the Telescope Array experiment (TA) in the 9 yr period from 2008 May to 2017 May. Unlike the Auger analysis, we did not optimize the parameter values but kept them fixed to the best-fit values found by Auger, namely 9.7% for the anisotropic fraction of cosmic rays assumed to originate from the SBGs in the list and 12.°9 for the angular scale of the correlations. The energy threshold that we adopted is 43 EeV, corresponding to 39 EeV in Auger when taking into account the energy-scale difference between two experiments. We find that the TA data is compatible with isotropy to within 1.1σ and with the Auger result to within 1.4σ, meaning that it is not capable to discriminate between these two hypotheses.

Authors: Sudhaharan Sukanya , Kanne Padmaja , Chavali Padmasri , Vemu Lakshmi 
Published: November 2018

Introduction: Pyogenic infections are an important cause of sepsis. These infections are difficult to treat because of the pathogens with increasing antibiotic resistance. It is important to know the pathogens causing the infections and its antibiotic susceptibility for proper management of the patients.
Methodology: A retrospective analysis of 1428 culture positive pus and tissue samples received in the department of microbiology from various departments in the hospital between January 2012 to 2017 was performed. Data regarding the pathogen isolated and its antimicrobial susceptibility were collected and analyzed. The specimens were primarily processed, as per standard methods. Identification and susceptibility testing was done using the Vitek-2C system.
Results: Among the samples males outnumbered females (M: F-2.5:1) and the median age was 47 years. The total number of patients were 1428 with total number of isolates being 1525 as in our study monomicrobial infections were seen in 93.2% (1331/1428) patients whereas combined infections with growth of two pathogens in 6.8% (97/1428). Gram-negative bacilli were isolated in 68.3% (1042/1525). Among the Gram-negative bacilli Escherichia coli was the major pathogen isolated (38.6%, 403/1042). Gram positive organisms were isolated in 31.6% (483/1525) of cases and Staphylococcus aureus was the predominant organism isolated (91.7%, 443/483). Rare pathogens like Burkholderia pseudomallei in 3 patients and Nocardia in one patient were also isolated.
Conclusion: This study emphasizes to understand the common organisms isolated from wound infections and it helps in empirical treatment of patients based on antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

Introduction: Hormonal and metabolic changes, as well as energy imbalance, can affect health, production and reproductive performance of dairy cows. In the present study, we evaluated phagocytosis and respiratory burst neutrophil activity during the transition period and early lactation and compared it with biochemical and hematological parameters in dairy cows.
Methodology: Simmental cows (n = 21) were enrolled in the study. Whole blood samples were collected weekly from 3 weeks pre- calving until 6 weeks post calving. Basic metabolic and blood parameters were assessed by routine laboratory analyses, while neutrophil functions were analyzed by commercial test kits.
Results: Optimal neutrophil response was observed pre and post calving. The highest value was recorded in the 6th week after calving (89.54 ± 7.61%) and being significantly higher (p < 0.01) as compared to values recorded at two and one week before and one week after calving. The percentage of activated neutrophils was high during the entire study period: from 70.80 ± 5.22% at the beginning of the study to 89.54 ± 7.61% at the end of the study. During the study period, production of Reactive Oxidative Species by neutrophils was positively correlated with β-hydroxybutyrat and non-esterified fatty acids values (0.454** and 0.423**, respectively) and calcium levels (0.164* and 0.212**, respectively).
Conclusions: The most prominent changes in all parameters had no influence on phagocytic and respiratory burst activity of neutrophils. Neutrophil function is preserved at the optimal level during the transition period and early lactation in Simmental cows.
À la recherche de l’homme normal
Authors: Angélopoulos Anna 
Published: November 2018

« Créer le conte de l’homme normal » : ce texte présente mon travail pendant un an et demi, avec un groupe de patients de l’hôpital de jour du centre Artaud, qui souhaitaient créer un conte sur « l’homme normal ». Sujet foncièrement radical s’il en est, que nous avons élaboré tous ensemble, patients et soignants, dans le cadre du gem La locomotive. Ce conte collectif a été riche en surprises et en événements psychiques pour nous tous, et d’abord pour les patients – qui se sont surpris par moments à reproduire leur propre histoire, et aussi pour le personnel soignant qui les encadrait. La psychanalyste que je suis a tenu le fil du vivant dans l’élaboration d’un récit en commun, alors que la cocréation des personnages et l’invention de leurs épreuves pouvaient faire surgir chez chacun de grandes angoisses. C’est avec l’amour du conte, objet transitionnel qui mène vers la vie, que j’ai pu soutenir l’épreuve psychique et thérapeutique qu’a représentée l’entreprise de l’écriture à plusieurs de ce conte, afin de donner continuité à l’existence du héros choisi et au parcours de chacun de nous.
Santé mentale et dévitalisation du fait psychique
Authors: Bellahsen Mathieu 
Published: November 2018

Le fait psychique ne peut être travaillé s’il n’y a pas d’intérêt pour l’autre et son altérité, pour notre altération en face de cette altérité. Je reprends ici le sens donné par Castoriadis : l’altérité est du côté de la création radicale, elle ne se situe pas dans les logiques préexistantes comme la notion de « différence ». L’altération réciproque est l’une des composantes de la danse du transfert, qu’elle soit altération de nos théories, de nos pratiques de vie, ou autre. Pour rester vivant en tant que psychiste, il y a un enjeu à combattre politiquement sur le terrain de la clinique, et cliniquement sur le terrain politique. Ces deux plans, bien qu’enchevêtrés, sont bien trop souvent étanches. Il nous appartient de trouver les formes permettant une altération suffisamment grande pour instituer autrement les rapports humains, les collectifs de soin et la société.
An Integrated Approach to Neuro-development, Neuroplasticity and Cognitive Improvement
Authors: Drigas Athanasios S. , Karyotaki Maria , Skianis Charalabos 
Published: November 2018

<p>Plasticity is a basic process that underlies neural and cognitive functioning, unraveling thus the former’s pervasive role in development and learning. Plasticity processes operate in both normal development and in the development following early injury. However, as the neural system matures, there is a gradual commitment of neural resources to, maturationally defined functions and a concomitant loss in flexibility and in the capacity of the system to reorganize. Brain plasticity has been intertwined with induced reorganization of local patterns of connectivity in the neural system, whose specification and stabilization relies on dynamic processes that are the product of the multidirectional interaction of genetic processes, contingencies of input and the demands of the learning environment. Moreover, bioenergetic challenges - exercise, diet and activity in neuronal circuits - synaptic plasticity and neurogenesis, are innately connected to cognitive function, such as learning, memory, attention, emotion regulation and human behavior.<strong> </strong> </p>

Published: November 2018

In recent years gaming products have increasingly been used to enhance learning and training development in the academic and commercial sectors. Gaming is an approach that applies technology to provide an almost real experience with interactive field training. It is an approach that supports the theory of learning by doing with a real case scenario. The purpose of this paper is to determine serious game attributes to support effective training using serious game approach. Through systematic literature review on eleven selected articles, nineteen game attributes were identified. Hence, based on the definition and description from the articles, text analyses were conducted to determine categories of attributes based on educational theories' perspectives. This study adopted the deductive content analysis approach which 14 relevant research articles between 1994 and 2016 were identified from the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. It appears that serious game attributes according to the educational perspectives are being practised using various ideas, terms and concepts. Hence, the findings can be justified that serious game attributes are important to enhance the effectiveness of training modules. All these attributes will become part of the serious game framework for hazard identification training modules. The target is to deliver effective and active training module to construction-related workers.
An Analysis on Adult Learners’ Satisfaction in Online Education Programmes
Authors: Ng Hueyzher , Baharom Sakina Sofia 
Published: November 2018

The demand for online programmes is continuously increasing at varying degrees, with the major appeal coming from adult learners whom are managing with the numerous demands from other work and life domains. These adult learners have their own varied expectations from the online learning process. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the degree to which other predictors contribute to adult learners’ satisfaction in online learning environment. A mixed-methods design was used, selecting both quantitative methods (utilizing survey research) and qualitative methods (employing open-ended questionnaire items), gathering the feedback of 200 adult learners whom comprises of secondary school teachers and college level teachers, enrolled in professional online courses. The online courses were designed using a problem-centered and case-based approach to learning and utilized technologies including learning management system (LMS) such as Moodle as well as functions from the LMS. The results showed that the items such as learner-content interaction, self-regulated learning design, and Internet self-efficacy were good predictors of students’ satisfaction. Implications of these findings for higher education in providing blended or online programmes for adult learners are also discussed.
Long-Term Outcomes of a Simulation-Based Remediation for Residents and Faculty With Unprofessional Behavior
Authors: Guerrasio Jeannette , Aagaard Eva M. 
Published: November 2018

ABSTRACT

Background
There are few studies describing remediation for unprofessional behavior in residents and faculty and none that assess the long-term impact of remediation.

Objective
We implemented a simulation-based personalized remediation program for unprofessional behavior in residents and faculty and collected assessments from participants and referring supervisors.

Methods
Residents and faculty were referred for unprofessional behaviors, including aggressive, condescending, and argumentative communication styles as well as an inability to read social cues. We had standardized patients recreate the scenarios that triggered the unprofessional behavior. After each scenario, participants reviewed a videotape of their performance, participated in guided self-reflection and feedback, and then iteratively practiced skills. In 2017, about 2 to 4 years after the intervention, we conducted structured phenomenological qualitative interviews until thematic saturation was reached. Transcripts were analyzed inductively for themes by 2 reviewers (J.G. and research assistant).

Results
Requests for interviews were sent to 16 residents, 8 faculty members, and 24 supervisors, including program directors. Nine remediation participants (38%) and 19 referring supervisors (79%) were interviewed. Sixteen supervisors reported no recurrence of unprofessional behavior in participants 2 to 4 years after the intervention, and participants identified behavioral strategies to reduce unprofessional behavior. Participants and respective supervisors reported similar themes of behavior changes that resulted in improved professional interaction with others.

Conclusions
A simulation-based personalized remediation program for unprofessional behavior, where faculty and residents practice behaviors with guided feedback, can lead to sustained positive behavior change in participants.

Os cachorros-do-mato (Cerdocyon thous) são canídeos silvestres adaptados ao ambiente antropizado, atingindo o sucesso reprodutivo nesse novo habitat. Fator primordial para não constar na lista de ameaçados de extinção, como o lobo-guará (Chrysocyon brachyurus) e o cachorro-vinagre (Speothos venaticus). A complexidade do diagnóstico de doenças metabólicas em animais selvagens ainda é um desafio, tanto em vista a grande quantidade de estudos e a evolução da medicina de cães e gatos. Em cativeiro, os animais selvagens estão mais propícios a desenvolver obesidade, por isso, medidas de padrão da espécie fundamentados na conformação e biometria do indivíduo são necessários para se obter maior controle, não se baseando em dados subjetivos que podem diferir de acordo com o profissional O método mais fidedigno para avaliação da condição de escore corporal dos cachorros-do-mato (C. thous) desse estudo foi o método aplicado em gatos domésticos, no qual é necessário a medida da caixa torácica e o comprimento do meio da patela para a ponta dorsal do calcâneo.
