L’apport de la traductologie au renouveau de l’universel dans les sciences humaines : Meschonnic, Berman, Cassin, Diagne1
Authors: Thiérard Hélène 
Published: December 2024

Au sein du débat qui domine actuellement les sciences humaines sur la nécessité de repenser l’universel après la fin de l’universalisme eurocentré, la réflexion sur la traduction joue un rôle décisif. En utilisant les « intraduisibles » comme méthode philosophique, Barbara Cassin et Souleymane Bachir Diagne mettent la supposée universalité des concepts aristotéliciens à l’épreuve de la traduction et s’efforcent de dépasser l’alternative traditionnelle entre universalisme et relativisme. L’article met en évidence ce que cette philosophie de la traduction doit à l’apport théorique d’Henri Meschonnic et d’Antoine Berman, qui font tous deux la critique d’une conception de la traduction annexionniste dominante reposant sur le dualisme du signe au fondement de la pensée du langage européenne. À la lumière du concept de Diagne d’universel latéral ou postcolonial, il s’agit aussi d’attirer l’attention sur ce qu’une relecture de Meschonnic et de Berman a de prometteur pour examiner sur d’autres bases la question de l’eurocentrisme de la traductologie.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the key inflammatory pathways that are activated in the peripheral and CNS compartments at the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) stage of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).MethodsA cross‐sectional study of patients with clinical and biomarker characteristics consistent with MCI‐AD in a discovery cohort, with replication in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. Inflammatory analytes were measured in the CSF and plasma with the same validated multiplex analyte platform in both cohorts and correlated with AD biomarkers (CSF Aβ42, total tau (t‐tau), phosphorylated tau (p‐tau) to identify key inflammatory pathway activations. The pathways were additionally validated by evaluating genes related to all analytes in coexpression networks of brain tissue transcriptome from an autopsy confirmed AD cohort to interrogate if the same pathway activations were conserved in the brain tissue gene modules.ResultsAnalytes of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway (KEGG ID:4668) in the CSF and plasma best correlated with CSF t‐tau and p‐tau levels, and analytes of the complement and coagulation pathway (KEGG ID:4610) best correlated with CSF Aβ42 levels. The top inflammatory signaling pathways of significance were conserved in the peripheral and the CNS compartments. They were also confirmed to be enriched in AD brain transcriptome gene clusters.InterpretationA cell‐protective rather than a proinflammatory analyte profile predominates in the CSF in relation to neurodegeneration markers among MCI‐AD patients. Analytes from the TNF signaling and the complement and coagulation pathways are relevant in evaluating disease severity at the MCI stage of AD.

AbstractLiquid metals offer unprecedented chemistry. Here it is shown that they can facilitate self‐limiting oxidation processes on their surfaces, which enables the growth of metal oxides that are atomically thin. This claim is exemplified by creating atomically thin hydrated MnO2 using a Galvanic replacement reaction between permanganate ions and a liquid gallium–indium alloy (EGaIn). The “liquid solution”–“liquid metal” process leads to the reduction of the permanganate ions, resulting in the formation of the oxide monolayer at the interface. It is presented that under mechanical agitation liquid metal droplets are established, and simultaneously, hydrated gallium oxides and manganese oxide sheets delaminate themselves from the interfacial boundaries. The produced nanosheets encapsulate a metallic core, which is found to consist of solid indium only, with the full migration of gallium out of the droplets. This process produces core/shell structures, where the shells are made of stacked atomically thin nanosheets. The obtained core/shell structures are found to be an efficient photocatalyst for the degradation of an organic dye under simulated solar irradiation. This study presents a new research direction toward the modification and functionalization of liquid metals through spontaneous interfacial redox reactions, which has implications for many applications beyond photocatalysis.

Published: July 2019

AbstractIn mountainous areas, access to markets and transportation services is particularly important for farmers. Following government initiatives, agricultural cooperatives in China have begun to offer transportation services as part of their service portfolio. This study estimated the impact of cooperatives’ transportation services on tobacco farmers’ farm income. Using survey data from 337 households in Guizhou Province, China, a two‐step control function was used to correct for selection bias. Results showed that access to transportation services increased yearly farm income by up to 4,636 RMB Yuan. The possible reasons for this large increase are discussed and conclusions were drawn for rural development policy. [EconLit citations: Q13, L23]

Published: July 2019

AbstractIn this study, highly loaded CuO (65.2 wt%) on ZrO2 support was prepared by flame spray pyrolysis, and the effects of their particle sizes and ZrO2 crystallinity on CO2 hydrogenation to methanol were investigated. By varying the precursor feed rate (1–10 mL min−1), the crystallite size (3–7 nm) and the crystallinity of tetragonal ZrO2 were controlled. After H2 reduction at 300°C, the Cu species in the catalysts, prepared at the feed rate = 2–10 mL min−1, were converted to Cu particles (approximately 10–20 nm); however, the size and crystallinity of ZrO2 remained the same. The activity and selectivity of the catalysts prepared at the feed rate = 2–3 mL min−1 were higher than those of the catalysts prepared at the feed rates = 5–10 mL min−1, because the smaller ZrO2 particles in the former provided more surface to stabilize small Cu particles and from interfacial Cu‐ZrO2 sites (active sites).

AbstractWe present an economical catalytic procedure to convert readily available 1,2‐diaminobenzenes and terminal epoxides into valuable 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydroquinoxalines in a highly enantioselective fashion. This procedure operates through relay zinc and iridium catalysis, and achieves redox‐neutral and stereoconvergent production of valuable chiral heterocycles from racemic starting materials with water as the only side product. The use of commercially available reagents and catalysts and a convenient procedure also make this catalytic method attractive for practical application.

AbstractThe flagship member of the antiplasmodial isocyanoterpenes, 7,20‐diisocyanoadociane (DICA), was synthesized from dehydrocryptone in 10 steps, and in 13 steps from commercially available material. Our previous formal synthesis was reengineered, leveraging only productive transformations to deliver DICA in fewer than half the number of steps of our original effort. Important contributions, in addition to the particularly concise strategy, include a solution to the problem of axial nucleophilic methylation of a late‐stage cyclohexanone, and the first selective synthesis and antiplasmodial evaluation of the DICA stereoisomer with both isonitriles equatorial.
Effects of bubble size, velocity, and particle agglomeration on the electro‐flotation kinetics of fine cassiterite

Published: July 2019

AbstractHydrodynamic behavior of fine particles and bubbles and their influences on the particle–bubble collision efficiency (Ec) in an electro‐flotation system were analyzed in this study. The influence of sodium oleate on the agglomeration of cassiterite particles and the effect of electrolyte (Na2SO4) concentration on the zeta potential of cassiterite were investigated in detail, respectively. Bubble trajectory was recorded by using a high‐speed camera to investigate the dynamic process in terms of bubble velocity. Moreover, bubble size was taken into account in the determination of the relationship between bubble velocity and Ec. The Reynolds number (Reb) was calculated to be 4.77 for hydrogen (H2) bubbles with a mean diameter of 52 μm. The highest recovery of cassiterite particles (<10 μm) was obtained by using 20 μm bubbles during flotation. The results indicate that the Yoon–Luttrell intermediate fluid (between the Stokes and potential flows) condition is applicable for the cassiterite electro‐flotation system, and Ec is improved by controlling the size and velocity of the hydrogen bubble, and the agglomeration of fine cassiterite particles in electro‐flotation. Additionally, it was greatly inspired to explore bubble–particle attachment in dissolved air flotation from these results.

AbstractThe codling moth, Cydia pomonella, is a worldwide pest of pome fruits. Neuropeptides regulate most physiological functions in insects and represent new targets for the development of control agents. The only neuropeptides reported from the codling moth to date are the allatostatin A family peptides. To identify other neuropeptides and peptide hormones from codling moth, we analyzed head transcriptomes, identified 50 transcripts, and predicted 120 prepropeptides for the codling moth neuropeptides and peptide hormones. All transcripts were amplified, and these sequences were verified. One of the notable findings in this study is that diapause hormones (DHs) reported from Tortricid moths, including the codling moth, do not have the WFGPRL sequence in C‐terminal ends in the pban genes. The C‐terminal motif is critical to characterize insect DH peptides, and always conserved in pban/dh genes in Lepidoptera and many insect orders. Interestingly, the WFGPRL sequence was produced only from the capa gene in the codling moth. The allatostatin A‐family encoding transcript predicted nine peptides, seven of which, as expected, are identical to those previously isolated from the moth. We also identified new codling moth orthologs of insect neuropeptides including CCHamides, allatostatin CC, RYamides, and natalisins. The information provided in this study will benefit future codling moth investigations using peptidoproteomics to determine peptide presence and functions.

Published: July 2019

AbstractBackgroundTumor mutation burden (TMB), DNA mismatch repair deficiency (dMMR), microsatellite instability (MSI), and PD‐L1 amplification (PD‐L1 AMP) may predict the efficacy of the PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade. With the broadening landscape of immunotherapy use, it is important to identify patients who are likely to benefit from the therapy. This study aimed to characterize the distributions of these biomarkers and explore the relationships among these biomarkers for Chinese patients with cancer.MethodsIn this study, we examined the aforementioned biomarkers in more than 1000 Chinese patients with cancer. These biomarkers were determined based on whole‐exome sequencing (WES) of tumor/blood samples.ResultsOf the 953 samples from Chinese cancer patients assessed in this study, 35% exhibited high TMB (TMB‐H), 4% were positive for high MSI (MSI‐H), dMMR occurred in 0.53%, and PD‐L1 AMP was positive in 3.79%. We found higher rates of TMB‐H among hepatocellular carcinoma, breast cancer, and esophageal cancer patients than was reported for The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data. Lung cancer patients with EGFR mutations had significantly lower TMB values than those with wild‐type EGFR, and increased TMB was significantly associated with dMMR in colorectal cancer (CRC). The frequency of tumors with MSI‐H was the highest in CRC and gastric cancer. PD‐L1 AMP occurred most frequently in lung squamous cell carcinoma and HER2‐positive breast cancer. While MSI and dMMR are associated with higher mutational loads, correlations between TMB‐H and other biomarkers, between MSI‐H and dMMR, and between PD‐L1 AMP and other biomarkers were low, indicating different underlying causes of the four biomarkers.ConclusionThe results reveal the frequency of these biomarkers in different malignancies, with potential implications for PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade use for Chinese patients with cancer.

AbstractBackgroundThe incidence of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is increasing among the older population and is associated with poor prognosis. Management guidelines are lacking in this group. The purpose of this study was to analyze survival data and determine predictors of survival in patients aged ≥70 years treated with radiotherapy (RT) and/or Temozolomide.Materials and MethodsA retrospective analysis of all GBM patients treated at our institution between January 2011 and January 2017 was carried out.ResultsOne‐hundred and four patients were eligible. Median age was 73.8 years (70‐87). Thirty‐three patients received radical RT and 71 palliative RT. Overall median survival (MS) was 6 months. The MS was 10.6 months for radical patients and 4.9 months for palliative patients (P < 0.0005). The MS was 6.9 months in patients aged 70‐75 years and 5.2 months in those aged 76‐80 years (P = 0.004). The debulked group had a statistically significantly longer survival (8.0 months) than the biopsy only group (4.9 months). Biopsy only (hazard ratio [HR] 2.4), ECOG performance status 3 vs 0 (HR 6.4), and increasing age (HR 1.06) were associated with statistically significant shorter survival after adjustment for the effects of concurrent chemo, delay in starting RT, and RT dose.ConclusionThe MS for radical patients was favorable and approaching current literature for the under 70 age group. Radical treatment should be considered for good performance patients aged 70‐75 years. Increasing age was associated with shorter MS in patients aged ≥76 years. Debulking and good performance status were associated with improved survival.

AbstractLysine deacetylases or histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetylation markers from numerous cellular proteins, thereby regulating their function and activity. Recently established peptide probes containing the HDAC‐trapping amino acid α‐aminosuberic acid ω‐hydroxamate (AsuHd) have been used to investigate the compositions of HDAC complexes in a site‐specific manner. Here we report the new HDAC‐trapping amino acid 2‐amino‐8‐[(2‐aminophenyl)amino]‐8‐oxooctanoic acid (AsuApa) and the utility of AsuApa‐containing probes for HDAC complex profiling on a proteome‐wide scale. Unlike AsuHd‐containing probes, AsuApa enriched only HDACs 1, 2, and 3 efficiently and was the most potent probe tested for capturing the last of these. These findings indicate that the inherent specificity of reported small‐molecule pimelic diphenylamide HDAC inhibitors is preserved in AsuApa and that this HDAC‐trapping amino acid represents a potent tool for investigating class I HDAC complexes.

Published: July 2019

AbstractAromatization reaction is of importance in producing aromatics, accompanied by the generation of abundant H2, which may influence the reaction by interacting with the catalyst. In this work, Zn‐containing ZSM‐5 prepared by impregnation was treated in H2 atmosphere at different temperatures, and the evolution in structure, acidity, and Zn species distribution were studied. The catalyst's performance in ethylene aromatization was also evaluated. The results show that the H2 atmosphere enabled the reconstruction of ZnO microparticles and the reformation of Brønsted acid sites on Zn/HZSM‐5 below 200 °C. At an elevated temperature (300 °C), Zn+ species were produced by the reduction of [ZnOZn]2+ as confirmed by in‐situ Zn K‐edge extended X‐ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) study and density functional theory (DFT) calculation. After H2 pretreatment at 300 °C, the increase in the amount of ZnOH+ species increased the selectivity of Zn‐containing ZSM‐5 for aromatics from 62 % to 67 %.

Published: July 2019

AbstractPotassium‐ion batteries (PIBs) are a potential alternative for lithium‐ion batteries (LIBs) due to the abundant reserves of potassium and the low redox potential of K+/K. Nonetheless, the practical application of PIBs is hampered by the fact that K+ has a large ion radium and cannot smoothly and reversibly insert/extract into the existing electrode materials. Herein, a series of nitrogen‐doped porous carbon materials with varied N content are synthesized and the effect of nitrogen content on the performance of PIBs is investigated. It is demonstrated that the N content is not in direct proportion to the K‐storage capacity of porous carbon considering the irregular change of specific surface area. Porous carbon with 12.44 at% N content (NPC‐2) exhibits the best performance among the synthesized samples on account of its large specific surface area associated with the superior porous structure as well as abundant defects. It delivers a high reversible capacity of 385 mAh g−1 at 0.05 A g−1, remarkable rate performance of 218 mAh g−1at 2 A g−1, and long‐term cycling stability maintaining 242 mAh g−1 after 800 cycles at 0.5 A g−1. The quantitative kinetics analysis verify that the K‐storage mechanism is mainly dominated by surface‐driven capacitive controlled process, which explains the superior rate capability. The theoretical simulation of different types of nitrogen adsorption and density of states (DOS) prove that pyridinic‐N and pyrrolic‐N exhibit higher affinity to K atoms and thus N‐doping is beneficial to the adsorption of K+ on the surface of electrode. This work provides a basic reference for the subsequent development of carbon anode materials for potassium‐ion batteries.

Published: July 2019

AbstractEs werden zwei Möglichkeiten vorgestellt, die Leistung einer Umkehrosmoseanlage zu bewerten. Dabei basiert die erste Möglichkeit auf einer Vergleichsrechnung mit einer Auslegungssoftware. Diese Methode ist hilfreich, wenn nur wenige Daten zur Verfügung stehen. Als zweite Möglichkeit wird die Normalisierung bewertet. Für die Normalisierung wird häufig Microsoft Excel als Hilfsmittel verwendet. Eine Excel‐Auswertung ist jedoch gerade bei großen Datenmengen schwierig und bietet nicht ausreichend Schutz vor Manipulationen. Eine neue Datensoftware, die dies verbessert, wird vorgestellt.

Published: July 2019

AbstractCationic polymerization via mesolytic cleavage of alkoxyamines was investigated using photoredox catalysts under irradiation with visible light of various wavelengths. The carbon–oxygen bond of the alkoxyamine derived from p‐methoxystyrene (pMOS) and (2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidin‐1‐yl)oxyl (TEMPO) was cleaved by an excited cationic iridium catalyst under blue LED irradiation to generate the pMOS cation, which efficiently initiated the cationic polymerization of vinyl ethers and styrene derivatives to give the polymers with a pMOS unit at the initiating end. Temporal control of the polymerization was achieved by switching the light on and off. Poly(pMOS) with a terminal TEMPO unit obtained by nitroxide‐mediated radical polymerization was subsequently employed as a macroinitiator for the photoredox‐catalyzed cationic polymerization to afford block copolymers via a mechanistic transformation from radical to cationic polymerization using alkoxyamine as the mutual initiating site.
