Réunification familiale et gestion de la migration par mariage au Canada : l’avocat comme acteur dans l’économie morale du soupçon
Authors: D’Aoust Anne-Marie 
Published: November 2018

L’attention accordée ces dernières années aux fraudes relatives au mariage et sur les mariages de complaisance reflète, autant en Europe qu’en Amérique du Nord, une judiciarisation et une surveillance politique accrues des relations sociales dans les processus migratoires de réunification familiale. Cette surveillance comporte des dispositions juridiques, mais aussi des évaluations individuelles subjectives qui s’appuient sur une lecture et une compréhension particulière des gens, des pratiques, des documents et des photographies afin d’évaluer à quoi correspondrait un mariage « authentique ». Or, si jusqu’à présent le pouvoir discrétionnaire des agents d’immigration dans les processus d’évaluation et de détermination de fraude par mariage a fait l’objet d’une attention universitaire soutenue pour en comprendre les fondements et la mise en œuvre, peu d’attention a été portée aux autres acteurs participant à ce processus de distribution de la confiance et de la méfiance qui, en définitive, affecte directement les couples binationaux souhaitant concrétiser une réunification familiale. C’est notamment pour combler ce manque que le présent article propose une enquête empirique qualitative sur la surveillance politique de la fraude relative au mariage et des mariages de complaisance au Canada au cours des dernières années. En nous appuyant sur des entrevues réalisées auprès d’avocats en immigration ayant aidé des couples à compléter un processus de réunification familiale dans la région de Montréal, nous examinons comment les avocats, loin d’être de simples acteurs apolitiques dont le rôle se limiterait à apporter un soutien et une expertise technique, sont parties prenantes d’une économie morale du soupçon des processus de réunification des conjoints. Nous soutenons, dans un premier temps, que le concept d’économie morale tel qu’il est développé par Didier Fassin permet de comprendre dans une perspective multi-niveaux comment des normes ou des affects deviennent partie intégrante de la formation du jugement des avocats dans l’émergence du risque et au soupçon. Un examen attentif des processus d’évaluation et des actions des avocats illustre, dans un second temps, les stratégies ainsi que les modes de justification développés par les avocats pour monter le dossier de leurs clients et espérer obtenir gain de cause. Bien que ces stratégies soient fortement individualisées et dépendantes de l’expérience et de la pratique de chacun, elles s’insèrent et font sens dans un panorama institutionnel et sociopolitique plus vaste. Pour l’illustrer, nous nous concentrerons brièvement, dans un troisième temps, sur l’expérience des avocats avec le Mode alternatif de règlement des litiges (Marl) à la Section d’appel de l’immigration établi à Montréal depuis 2003. Nous soulignons notamment comment le manque de transparence et la représentation des « émotions véritables » au sein de cette structure peuvent affecter les processus de prise de décisions.
Foundation phase teachers’ use of manipulatives to teach number concepts: A critical analysis
Authors: Mntunjani Lindiwe M. , Adendorff Stanley A. , Siyepu Sibawu W. 
Published: November 2018

Background: The poor performance of learners in mathematics has long been a matter of concern in South Africa. The Annual National Assessment (ANA) results reveal that the problem starts in the foundation phase with number concepts.Aim: This research sought to ascertain how foundation phase teachers used mathematical resources to teach number concepts as this may be one of the contributors to poor mathematics results.Setting: The purposively selected participants included five foundation phase teachers teaching Grades 1–3 at two schools in the Western Cape, in South Africa.Methods: The research was located within the interpretive qualitative research paradigm and used a case study approach. Data were collected through lesson observations and interviews and analysed through the lens of Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory.Results: The findings of this study revealed that teaching for understanding was often compromised by teaching to enable learners to pass systemic assessments. Teachers are inclined to rote teaching with drill work in preparation for assessments such as the ANA and the systemic assessment. Consequently, manipulatives are not necessarily used optimally or opportunely.Conclusion: This study recommends that teachers should receive the necessary training to use and follow Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development and also make an effort to follow the guidelines indicated in the Curriculum and Assessment Policy Statement mathematics document in respect of how and when to use practical mathematical manipulatives.
The Folio Club Collection and the Silver Fork School: Perspectives on Poe's Framestory in Recent Scholarship
Authors: Hammond Alexander 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
When composing his never-published collection of Folio Club tales, Poe read extensively in popular novels of the British “Silver Fork” school. Scholars have explored Poe's repeated borrowings from these works but neglected the significance for the Folio Club design of the infamous London publishing enterprise of Henry Colburn that produced them. This article attempts to clarify that significance in terms of recent scholarship on the marketplace and the political dimensions of Poe's Folio Club project. After initially summarizing traditional approaches, the article demonstrates how new studies of the satires of Andrew Jackson in the collection suggest his administration served as an indirect model for Poe's literary “Junto,” then shows how Meredith McGill, Leon Jackson, and J. Gerald Kennedy's recent explorations of the economics and print culture of Poe's literary marketplace offer fresh perspectives on the collection's framestory. The article argues in particular that those perspectives illuminate Poe's use of Henry Colburn's school of Silver Fork novelists as a ready model for the Folio Club itself. Thus Colburn's management of the composition, puffing, and critical reception of his authors' novels evidently provided Poe with a transatlantic example of what Kennedy calls the “system of literary production” represented by the Folio Club. Furthermore, this same scholarship makes clear that the young writer had good reason for seeking such a model abroad: Henry Colburn's marketing of his authors involved the kind of centralized control of literary publishing absent in the decentered, regionally dispersed marketplace Poe faced in the United States of the 1830s.
Influence of Blair on Poe's Gothicism: The Style of Terror and Horror in Poe's Early Woman-Centered Tales
Authors: Tsai-Yi Chu , Janet Chu 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
Poe's familiarity with Hugh Blair's Lectures on Rhetoric and Belles Lettres (1783), an influential and widely circulated rhetorical treatise in Poe's time, has been observed and discussed by several scholars. The link between Blair's rhetoric and Poe's works, however, still remains to be explored. This article addresses this issue with the application of Blair's rhetorical theory to three of Poe's early woman-centered tales—“Berenice,” “Morella,” and “Ligeia”—examining Poe's Gothicism and his Gothic stylistics. In the analysis, it is found that the effect of terror, or “the strange and mystical” in Poe's words, is often engendered by Poe's use of the periodic sentence, the cataphoric expression, and the parenthesis, devices that suspend semantic meaning and produce a sense of suspense. The distinctness and immediacy of horror, or the Poesque “horrible,” on the other hand, is frequently achieved through Poe's adoption of the simile/metaphor, the superlative, and adverbial intensifiers. In analyzing Poe's stylistics in these Gothic tales, Blair's rhetoric functions to account for and assess Poe's exploitation of certain stylistic devices. It also, at the same time, helps to demonstrate the development and evolution of Poe's Gothic style across time.
Technophobic Dystopias: A Theoretical Approximation to the Communication Technology Limits Related to Privacy From the Google Glass Case and Audiovisual Fiction
Authors: Mondelo González Edisa , Vizcaíno-Laorga Ricardo 
Published: November 2018

Abstract
The subject of this article is the current difficult relationship between the evolution of communication technologies and the implications that its daily use can have on the invasion of an individual's privacy. Many are the science fiction audiovisual narratives which approach this evolution from the dystopian point of view with a technophobic character, focusing on the individual effects. But, in reality, this is something that has become clear in the case of Google Glass, where the fear of loss of intimacy was what caused social rejection in its use in everyday life, although not in certain fields of labor and training.
Unexpected agreement in Spanish revisited
Authors: Mare María 
Published: November 2018

Verbal agreement in Spanish is materialized as the rightmost morpheme on a verb. When enclitics attach, the expected order is: verbal base + AGR(eement) + CL(itic): hága-nAGR-loCL ‘Do it!’. Nevertheless, in non-standard Spanish, verbal agreement can appear at the right of the clitic, giving rise to what has been named unexpected agreement: haga-nAGR-loCL-nAGR or haga-loCL-nAGR ‘Do it!’. This squib discusses different data related to unexpected agreement in order to provide some generalizations which previous approaches to this topic fail to address. So as to revisit the operations involved in this broad phenomenon, it is pivotal to make a distinction between unexpected exponents and unexpected locus.
Delivering on open data: Current practices in data sharing, and challenges ahead!
Authors: Oefelein Timon 
Published: November 2018

Watch the VIDEO.The case for sharing research data has been strongly made in many parts of the world, but noticeably so in Europe. Open access to research data delivers more value for every funding Euro by enabling data reuse and reducing unnecessary duplication of research. Further, open data can help speed the pace of discovery and allows for reproducibility studies. The European Commission has set out a clear vision for open data in their Horizon Europe proposal. Yet in 2018 only about half of research data are shared, according to surveys of researchers, and a much smaller proportion are shared openly or in ways that maximise discoverability and reuse. Whilst policy implementation remains critical to the uptake of data sharing, this must be joined by greater support and education for researchers, and faster, easier routes to sharing data optimally. We also need to make it worth a researcher’s time to share their data. Starting with the case for better data practice, this talk showcases the findings of one of the largest author surveys of its kind on current practices, attitudes and perceptions in data-sharing at the point of scholarly publication. The survey, carried out by Springer Nature in 2018, is based on over 7700 responses from academic researchers - at various levels of their career – in Europe, Asia, America, and Australasia. Responses are from across all subject areas. The resulting data provides a valuable insight into how, where, and why data is currently shared and what the main obstacles to sharing it are.The talk identifies the most “critical areas” – as borne out of the survey findings – that need to be tackled with top priority if we are to accelerate the speed and scope of data-sharing. In closing, we therefore ask – how can we better work together across research libraries, institutions, funders, governments, and publishers, to address and action these “critical areas”? Indeed, it is only by working together that we can unlock the huge potential of research data, namely to improve our knowledge, to address the grand societal challenges, and to help solve some of the most pressing problems in science today.
CelloMOF: Nanocellulose Enabled 3D Printing of Metal–Organic Frameworks
Authors: Sultan Sahar , Abdelhamid Hani Nasser , Zou Xiaodong , Mathew Aji P. 
Published: November 2018

Abstract3D printing is recognized as a powerful tool to develop complex geometries for a variety of materials including nanocellulose. Herein, a one‐pot synthesis of 3D printable hydrogel ink containing zeolitic imidazolate frameworks (ZIF‐8) anchored on anionic 2,2,6,6‐tetramethylpiperidine‐1‐oxylradical‐mediated oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNF) is presented. The synthesis approach of ZIF‐8@TOCNF (CelloZIF8) hybrid inks is simple, fast (≈30 min), environmentally friendly, takes place at room temperature, and allows easy encapsulation of guest molecules such as curcumin. Shear thinning properties of the hybrid hydrogel inks facilitate the 3D printing of porous scaffolds with excellent shape fidelity. The scaffolds show pH controlled curcumin release. The synthesis route offers a general approach for metal–organic frameworks (MOF) processing and is successfully applied to other types of MOFs such as MIL‐100 (Fe) and other guest molecules as methylene blue. This study may open new venues for MOFs processing and its large‐scale applications.

Published: November 2018

AbstractThe rational design of heterojunction between different metal oxides with mesoporous structures has attracted tremendous attention due to their special physicochemical properties and vital importance for practical applications. In this paper, mesoporous Ag/Zn–LaFeO3 nanocomposite is successfully synthesized through a facile nanocasting technique using KIT‐6 as a hard template in sol–gel route and used as sensing materials to achieve an exceptionally sensitive and selective detection of trace ppm‐level ethanol. The obtained composite possesses high surface area and exhibits excellent sensing response (64.2 for 100 ppm) to ethanol at near‐room with relatively fast response/recovery time. When tested with the concentrations as low as 5 ppm, it also shows a remarkably high selectivity to the ethanol, but only minor responses to other interfering gases. These enhanced gas‐sensing properties are attributed to the combination of mesoporous nanostructure and Ag/Zn–LaFeO3 heterogeneous composites.

Published: November 2018

AbstractWith the rapid development of nanotechnology, stimuli‐responsive nanomaterials have provided an alternative for designing controllable drug delivery systems due to their spatiotemporally controllable properties. As a new type of porous material, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have been widely used in biomedical applications, especially drug delivery systems, owing to their tunable pore size, high surface area and pore volume, and easy surface modification. Here, recent progress in MOF‐based stimuli‐responsive systems is presented, including pH‐, magnetic‐, ion‐, temperature‐, pressure‐, light‐, humidity‐, redox‐, and multiple stimuli‐responsive systems for the delivery of anticancer drugs. The remaining challenges and suggestions for future directions for the rational design of MOF‐based nanomedicines are also discussed.
Radical C−H Bond Oxidation Initiated Intramolecular Cyclization of Glycine Esters: Construction of Dihydroquinoline Skeletons
Authors: Chen Qian , Zhang Shuwei , Zhang Ting , He Kaixuan , Yuan Yu , Jia Xiaodong 
Published: November 2018

AbstractAn efficient construction of dihydroquinoline derivatives was realized through radical cation salt‐initiated C−H bond oxidation of unsaturated glycine esters. In the presence of dioxygen, the sp3 C−H bond adjacent to nitrogen was oxidized, followed by cascade cyclization, affording the desired dihydroquinoline products. The mechanistic investigation revealed that a radical intermediate was involved in this reaction.

Published: November 2018

AbstractIn this work, the preparation and structural characterization of a novel material consisting of silica‐coated zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles as cathode catalysts for nonaqueous lithium‐air batteries (LABs) are presented for the first time. ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by the normal micelles method, using oleic acid as the capping agent and then coating them with silica, via a reverse microemulsion method, with various thicknesses. The colloidal ZnFe2O4 NPs and silica‐coated ZnFe2O4 NPs were characterized by TEM and powder XRD. The particle size of bare ZnFe2O4 NPs was calculated to be 5.8 nm by both TEM image and XRD pattern. They were then coated by silica with layer thicknesses of 9, 11, and 13 nm. The performances of bare and silica‐coated ZnFe2O4 NPs were evaluated as cathode catalysts for LABs using 1 M lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (TFMS) in tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) as the electrolyte. The primary discharge/charge capacities of bare ZnFe2O4 NPs and ZnFe2O4 NPs with silica‐shell thicknesses of 9, 11, and 13 at 0.1 mA cm−2 were found to be 3300, 4300, 6200 and 5000 mAh g−1, respectively. The overpotential is almost 0.5 V, decreased by silica coating with a thickness of 11 nm, whereas there was no difference at other thicknesses. Cyclability with a discharge capacity of 1000 mAh g−1 was observed for at least 45 cycles for silica‐coated ZnFe2O4 NPs with a shell thickness of 11 nm.
Pharmacokinetics of TAK‐875 and its toxic metabolite TAK‐875‐ acylglucuronide in rat plasma by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
Authors: Qiang Yongzai , Zhang Xiaohui 
Published: November 2018

AbstractTAK‐875 is a selective partial agonist of human GPR40 receptor, which was unexpectedly terminated at phase III clinical trials owing to its severe hepatotoxicity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetics of TAK‐875 and its toxic metabolite TAK‐875‐acylglucuronide in rat plasma by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). Plasma samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and chromatographic separations were achieved on a C18 column with water and acetonitrile containing 0.05% ammonium hydroxide as mobile phase. The sample was detected in selected reaction monitoring mode with precursor‐to‐product ion transitions being m/z 523.2 → 148.1, m/z 699.3 → 113.1 and m/z 425.2 → 113.1 for TAK‐875, TAK‐875‐acylglucuronide and IS, respectively. The assay showed good linearity over the tested concentration ranges (r > 0.9993), with the LLOQ being 0.5 ng/mL for both analytes. The extraction recovery was >78.45% and no obvious matrix effect was detected. The highly sensitive LC–MS/MS method has been further applied for the pharmacokinetic study of TAK‐875 and its toxic metabolite TAK‐875‐acylglucuronide in rat plasma. Pharmacokinetics results revealed that oral bioavailability of TAK‐875 was 86.85%. The in vivo exposures of TAK‐875‐acylglucuronide in terms of AUC0–t were 17.54 and 22.29% of that of TAK‐875 after intravenous and oral administration, respectively.

Published: November 2018

AbstractBackgroundIt has been shown that intracranial artery stenosis (ICAS) plays a key role in Chinese ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients. Many vascular diseases can lead to ICAS, such as atherosclerosis, dissection, vasculitis, moyamoya disease, and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS). In addition, progression of intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD) will increase the risk of ischemic cerebrovascular events. The ICASMAP study primarily aims to determine the etiology and disease distribution of ICAS using noninvasive magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and evaluate the rate for progression of ICAD in symptomatic population.MethodsThe ICASMAP study is a prospective, observational, and multicenter study by recruiting 300 subjects (18–80 years old) with recent stroke or TIA (within 2 weeks after onset of symptoms) in China. All the subjects will undergo MR imaging examination including brain and intracranial artery MR imaging at baseline. In addition, the clinical risk factors will be collected and blood biomarkers will be tested. A subgroup of more than 200 subjects who were diagnosed with ICAD according to baseline MR imaging will be followed up for 2 years. During the follow‐up study, MR imaging examination will be performed at 12 and 24 months. The primary end point is presence of progression of intracranial artery atherosclerotic plaques.ConclusionsThe ICASMAP study investigates the etiology of ICAS and progression of ICAD in Chinese stroke patients and may help to improve the precise diagnosis and intervention of ICAS and stroke prevention.
An inverse design tool for two‐dimensional blade generation in aerospace engineering education
Authors: Zhu Chengxiang , Li Mingfeng , Shi Chongguang , You Yancheng 
Published: November 2018

AbstractAn inverse design tool based on the theory of characteristic lines and coordinate system transformation, showing the capability of generating two‐dimensional blades with a given pressure distribution along the surface, has been coded with MATLAB and developed in the present work for undergraduate students in aerospace engineering. Validations of the inverse design tool have been evaluated for both single blade surface and plane cascade which show good agreements as comparing to the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) results. This tool provides an intuitive impression on blade generation and a clear picture for the underlying principles of blade design for undergraduate students in the major of aerospace engineering, which also serves sufficient freedom for students to derive their own blade geometry by merely prescribing a surface pressure distribution.
Development of a Surface‐Active Coating for Promoted Gas Hydrate Formation
Authors: Filarsky Florian , Schmuck Carsten , Schultz Heyko Jürgen 
Published: November 2018

AbstractThis work deals with the influences of surface‐active coatings made by silanization with an increasing hydrophobicity on methane hydrate formation in view of induction times, gas uptake, and rate of gas consumption. Hydrate formation was performed in a stirred pressure autoclave under stationary and transient conditions in presence of different coatings made from diverse silanes. With increasing carbon chain length of the silanes, promoting effects were observed while using stationary formation conditions.
Confidence bands for quantiles as a function of covariates in recurrent event models
Authors: Adekpedjou Akim , Olbricht Gayla R. , Zamba Gideon K. D. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractWe investigate the construction of various confidence bands for quantiles of the time between event recurrences when covariates and interventions performed after a recurrence are accounted for via a general Cox‐type model for recurrent events. We propose three types of bands: those based on the asymptotic properties of the properly standardized quantile; those based on a Khmaladze transformation of the original limiting distribution; and those based on bootstrap techniques. Asymptotic properties of the three types of bands are presented and their small and large sample performances and coverage probabilities are assessed via simulation study.The Canadian Journal of Statistics46: 610–634; 2018 © 2018 Société statistique du Canada
