La voie de la Doie à Thonon-les-Bains : un témoin de la circulation entre Bas et Haut-Chablais aux premiers temps de l’occupation romaine
Authors: Landry Christophe 
Published: January 2019

Des sondages récents ont permis de mettre au jour les vestiges d’une voie romaine au débouché des vallées d’Abondance, d’Aulps et de Bellevaux. Le mobilier découvert dans les premiers comblements du fossé drainant sud permet d’envisager une construction au cours du ier siècle av. J.-C. Son itinéraire à travers le Bas-Chablais pourrait conduire vers les quartiers artisanaux de l’agglomération antique de Thonon. Cette découverte revêt un intérêt certain dans le cadre de la réflexion sur l’existence d’un itinéraire empruntant la rive lémanique méridionale pendant le Haut-Empire. En effet, si aucun chemin antique traversant le massif du Chablais n’est pour l’heure attesté archéologiquement, la voie de la Doie permet de proposer un itinéraire alternatif et plus court que le bord de lac pour rejoindre l’agglomération de FORVM CLAVDII VALLENSIVM, actuelle Martigny.
Franchir les Alpes et les Apennins au début du xviie siècle
Authors: Bayard Françoise 
Published: January 2019

À partir du 6 septembre 1607, Jean-Baptiste Duval, avocat au parlement de Paris et secrétaire de la reine, accompagne Jean Bochart, sieur de Champigny, dans son ambassade à Venise. Duval revient en France plus de trois ans plus tard, le 1er octobre 1610. Entre le 23 septembre 1608 et le 22 février 1609, il effectue jusqu’à Naples un périple dans l’Italie centrale. Le 22 septembre 1609, il suit l’ambassadeur en villégiature sur le lac de Garde mais le quitte du 2 au 14 octobre pour visiter l’Italie du Nord. Le manuscrit 13977 du fonds français de la Bibliothèque nationale de France est le journal quotidien de ses faits et gestes. Y sont décrits les itinéraires suivis, les moyens de locomotion et les aides utilisés, les gîtes et les tavernes où l’on s’est arrêté, les caractères géologiques, climatiques, hydrographiques, démographiques, économiques et les mœurs des régions traversées. En a été extrait ce qui relève des circulations dans les Alpes et les Apennins.
Entre allers et retours : approches de l’anthroponymie dans les Pyrénées occidentales (xiiie-xviie siècle)
Authors: Lopetegui Susana Herreros , Vaquero Eloísa Ramírez 
Published: January 2019

De part et d'autre des Pyrénées occidentales, l'évolution des noms de famille témoigne entre le xiiie et le xviie siècle de circulations humaines au goutte à goutte mais persistantes en Haute-Navarre. Les riches listes nominatives permettent de poser la question de conversos cherchant à se fondre dans la population. Entre nord et sud de l'ancien royaume de Navarre, on observe le renouvellement de la noblesse, des professions, mais on constate aussi des mouvements inverses sud-nord. Les migrations des Basques catholiques deviennent sensibles après le choix du protestantisme par Jeanne d'Albret. Mais le passage constant dans le temps des éleveurs cadets du Nord suffit à expliquer ces évolutions anthroponymiques lentes.

AbstractOBJECTIVE. We investigated the effects on motor and daily function of robot-assisted therapies in people with chronic stroke using the Bi-Manu-Track (BMT) and InMotion 3.0 (IMT) compared with control treatment (CT).METHOD. In this comparative efficacy trial, 30 participants were randomized to receive BMT, IMT, or CT. Outcome measures included the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS), Motor Activity Log (MAL), and Medical Research Council (MRC) scale.RESULTS. The IMT group improved more in FMA and proximal MAS scores than the BMT group (both ps &lt; .01) and the CT group (p &lt; .01 and p = .03, respectively). The IMT and BMT groups showed clinically relevant improvements after treatment on the MRC rather than the MAL.CONCLUSION. The results indicate that the IMT might improve motor function. The IMT and BMT groups showed similar benefits for muscle power but limited improvements in self-perceived use of the affected arm.
Seesaw haze pollution in North China modulated by the sub-seasonal variability of atmospheric circulation

Published: January 2019

Abstract. Utilizing a recent observational dataset of particulate matter with diameters less than
2.5 µm (PM2.5) in North China, this study reveals a
distinct seesaw feature of abnormally high and low PM2.5 concentrations
in the adjacent two months of December 2015 and January 2016, accompanied by
distinct meteorological modulations. The seesaw pattern is postulated to be
linked to a super El Niño and the Arctic Oscillation (AO). During the
mature phase of El Niño in December 2015, the weakened East Asian winter
monsoon (EAWM) and the associated low-level southerly wind anomaly reduced
planetary boundary layer (PBL) height, favoring strong haze formation. This
circulation pattern was completely reversed in the following month, in part
due to a sudden phase change of the AO from positive to negative and the
beginning of a decay of the El Niño, which enhanced the southward shift
of the upper tropospheric jet from December to January relative to
climatology, leading to an enhanced EAWM and substantially lower haze
formation. This sub-seasonal change in circulation is also robustly found in
1982–1983 and 1997–1998, implicative of a general physical mechanism
dynamically linked to El Niño and the AO. Numerical experiments using the
Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Community Multiscale Air Quality
(CMAQ) model were used to test the modulation of the meteorological
conditions on haze formation. With the same emission, simulations for three
super El Niño periods (1983, 1997 and 2015) robustly show higher
PM2.5  concentrations under the mature phase of the super El Niño,
but substantially lower PM2.5 concentrations during the decay phase of
El Niño (and the sudden AO phase change), further verifying the
modulation effect of the sub-seasonal circulation anomaly on PM2.5
concentrations in North China.
The composition and distribution of semi-labile dissolved organic matter across the southwest Pacific

Published: January 2019

Abstract. The distribution and dynamics of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved
combined neutral sugars (DCNS) were studied across an increasing oligotrophic
gradient (18 to 22∘ S latitude) in the tropical South Pacific Ocean,
spanning from the Melanesian Archipelago (MA) area to the western part of the
South Pacific gyre (WGY), in austral summer as a part of the OUTPACE
project. Our results show that DOC and DCNS concentrations exhibited no
statistical differences between the MA and WGY areas (0–200 m:
47–81 µM C for DOC and 0.2-4.2 µM C for DCNS). However,
due to a deepening of the euphotic zone, a deeper penetration of DOC was
noticeable at 150 m of depth at the WGY area. Excess DOC (DOCEX)
was determined as the difference between surface and deep-sea DOC values, and
euphotic zone integrated stocks of both DOC and DOCEX were higher
in the WGY than the MA area. Considering DOCEX as representative
of semi-labile DOC (DOCSL), its residence time was calculated
as the ratio of DOCSL to bacterial carbon demand (BCD). This
residence time was 176±43 days (n=3) in the WGY area, about 3 times
longer than in the MA area (Tr=51±13 days, n=8), suggesting
an accumulation of semi-labile dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the
surface waters of WGY. Average epipelagic (0–200 m) DCNS yields
(DCNS × DOC−1) based on volumetric data were roughly similar
in both areas, accounting for ∼2.8 % of DOC. DCNS exhibited
a longer residence time in WGY (Tr=91±41 days, n=3) than
in MA (Tr=31±10 days, n=8), further suggesting that this DCNS
pool persists longer in the surface waters of the WGY. The accumulation of
DOCEX in the surface waters of WGY is probably due to very
slow bacterial degradation due to nutrient and/or energy limitation of heterotrophic
prokaryotes, indicating that biologically produced DOC can be stored in the
euphotic layer of the South Pacific gyre for a long period.

Abstract. In countries globally there is intense political interest in fostering
effective university–business collaborations, but there has been scant
attention devoted to exactly how an individual scientist's workload
(i.e. specified tasks) and incentive structures (i.e. assessment criteria)
may act as a key barrier to this. To investigate this an original, empirical
dataset is derived from UK job specifications and promotion criteria, which
distil universities' varied drivers into requirements upon academics. This
work reveals the nature of the severe challenge posed by a heavily
time-constrained culture; specifically, tension exists between
opportunities presented by working with business and non-optional duties
(e.g. administration and teaching). Thus, to justify the time to work with
business, such work must inspire curiosity and facilitate future novel
science in order to mitigate its conflict with the overriding imperative for
academics to publish. It must also provide evidence of real-world changes
(i.e. impact), and ideally other reportable outcomes (e.g. official status as
a business' advisor), to feed back into the scientist's performance
appraisals. Indicatively, amid 20–50 key duties, typical full-time
scientists may be able to free up to
0.5 day per week for work with business. Thus
specific, pragmatic actions, including short-term and time-efficient steps,
are proposed in a “user guide” to help initiate and nurture a long-term
collaboration between an early- to mid-career environmental scientist and a
practitioner in the insurance sector. These actions are mapped back to a
tailored typology of impact and a newly created representative set of appraisal
criteria to explain how they may be effective, mutually beneficial
and overcome barriers. Throughout, the focus is on environmental science,
with illustrative detail provided through the example of natural hazard risk
modelling in the insurance sector. However, a new conceptual model of
academics' behaviour is developed, fusing perspectives from literature on
academics' motivations and performance assessment, which we propose is
internationally applicable and transferable between sectors. Sector-specific
details (e.g. list of relevant impacts and user guide) may serve as
templates for how people may act differently to work more effectively
together.
Influence of input and parameter uncertainty on the prediction of catchment-scale groundwater travel time distributions
Authors: Jing Miao , Heße Falk , Kumar Rohini , Kolditz Olaf , Kalbacher Thomas , Attinger Sabine 
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Groundwater travel time distributions (TTDs) provide a robust description of
the subsurface mixing behavior and hydrological response of a subsurface
system. Lagrangian particle tracking is often used to derive the groundwater
TTDs. The reliability of this approach is subjected to the uncertainty of
external forcings, internal hydraulic properties, and the interplay between
them. Here, we evaluate the uncertainty of catchment groundwater TTDs in an
agricultural catchment using a 3-D groundwater model with an overall focus on
revealing the relationship between external forcing, internal hydraulic
properties, and TTD predictions. Eight recharge realizations are sampled from
a high-resolution dataset of land surface fluxes and states.
Calibration-constrained hydraulic conductivity fields (Ks
fields) are stochastically generated using the null-space Monte Carlo
(NSMC) method for each recharge realization. The random walk particle
tracking (RWPT) method is used to track the pathways of particles and compute
travel times. Moreover, an analytical model under the random sampling
(RS) assumption is fit against the numerical solutions, serving as a
reference for the mixing behavior of the model domain. The StorAge Selection
(SAS) function is used to interpret the results in terms of quantifying the
systematic preference for discharging young/old water. The simulation results
reveal the primary effect of recharge on the predicted mean travel time
(MTT). The different realizations of calibration-constrained Ks
fields moderately magnify or attenuate the predicted MTTs. The analytical
model does not properly replicate the numerical solution, and it
underestimates the mean travel time. Simulated SAS functions indicate an
overall preference for young water for all realizations. The spatial pattern
of recharge controls the shape and breadth of simulated TTDs and SAS
functions by changing the spatial distribution of particles' pathways. In
conclusion, overlooking the spatial nonuniformity and uncertainty of input
(forcing) will result in biased travel time predictions. We also highlight
the worth of reliable observations in reducing predictive uncertainty and the
good interpretability of SAS functions in terms of understanding catchment
transport processes.

EELC 2018/38 Collective Redundancies: Failure to notify Employment Service cannot be healed by postponing termination (AU)
The Austrian Supreme Court has held that the employer must notify the Employment Service (AMS) when it is contemplating collective redundancies, even if they are carried by mutual agreement. The duty of notification is triggered if the employer proposes a mutual termination agreement to a relevant number of employees, provided the offer is binding and can be accepted by the employees within 30 days. If the employer fails to notify the AMS, any subsequent redundancies (or mutual terminations of employment occurring on the employer’s initiative) are void, even if effected after 30 days.

EELC 2018/40 Equal treatment of leased employees by ‘false’ works agreements (AU)
A ‘false’ works agreement, which reduces the standard weekly working hours for permanent staff, also applies to leased employees. However, the pay of leased employees remains governed by the applicable collective bargaining agreement, rather than by the ‘false’ works agreement. Therefore, leased (part-time) employees benefitted from the reduced working hours by the ‘false’ works agreement, but received full pay based on the collective bargaining agreement.

EELC 2018/45 The limits to checking emails out of business hours (IR)
In a recent decision, the Labour Court awarded an employee € 7,500 for working in excess of 48 hours a week, contrary to working time legislation. The complainant allegedly regularly checked and responded to emails outside of business hours, occasionally after midnight. The Labour Court reiterated it is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that employees are not permitted to work beyond the statutory maximum period and that if an employer is aware that an employee is working excessive hours, must take steps to curtail this.
Distritos Industriales e inmigración: el caso de la industria cerámica valenciana
Authors: Molina José Luis , Martínez-Cháfer Luis , Molina Morales Francesc-Xavier , Lubbers Miranda Jessica 
Published: January 2019

Objeto: La relación entre los Distritos Industriales (DIs) y la inmigración ha sido estudiada hasta ahora a través de casos de las economías étnicas desarrolladas dentro de los DIs por parte de empresarios inmigrantes. En este estudio sostenemos que existe una interacción más general y compleja entre los dos fenómenos que puede dar lugar bien al desarrollo de economía étnicas, bien a la emergencia de enclaves migratorios (concentración de personas emigradas de una misma nacionalidad) dependiendo del grado de formalidad del DI y de las condiciones locales de los grupos inmigrados. A través del estudio de caso del DI cerámico de Castellón sugerimos que la interacción entre la oferta de empleo formal característica del sector cerámico y la existencia de una red de apoyo iniciada por la iglesia adventista, permitió a la población de origen rumano disponer de condiciones iniciales comparativamente favorables en relación a otros colectivos emigrantes, llegando a representar el 12% de la población total de la provincia en 2012. Diseño/Metodología: Se trata de un trabajo exploratorio y descriptivo basado en la observación participante realizada entre los meses de febrero a julio de 2016. Las actividades propias de la observación etnográfica se han complementado con documentación estadística y entrevistas abiertas a representantes de Iglesias, asociaciones caritativas, autoridades locales, el consulado rumano en Castelló, empresas orientadas a la población rumana (telefonía móvil y servicios de transporte), empresarios y expertos en el sector cerámico de Castellón.Aportaciones y Resultados: Tomando como ejemplo el DI cerámico de Castellón, mostramos como este DI contribuye a la creación de las condiciones que propician un enclave migratorio rumano excepcional tanto por su importancia demográfica como por la ausencia de conflicto o tensiones significativas. Proponemos que la oferta de empleo formal del DI aunque minoritaria en relación al total de empleos típicamente ocupados por emigrantes, tuvo un efecto positivo en las decisiones de sedentarización de esta población.Originalidad/Valor: Se trata de un estudio que combina disciplinas diferentes como la economía y la antropología para ofrecer una visión hasta ahora poco conocida de los efectos del DI cerámico en la inmigración. Por último, se propone un primer modelo general de interacción entre DI e inmigración.
Is Orally Administered Pentobarbital a Safe and Effective Alternative to Chloral Hydrate for Pediatric Procedural Sedation?
Authors: Anderson Jordan , Dalabih Sevilay , Birisi Esma , Dalabih Abdallah 
Published: January 2019

OBJECTIVES Chloral hydrate had been extensively used for children undergoing sedation for imaging studies, but after the manufacturer discontinued production, pediatric sedation providers explored alternative sedation medications. Those medications needed to be at least as safe and as effective as chloral hydrate. In this study, we examined if pentobarbital is a suitable replacement for chloral hydrate.METHODS Subjects who received pentobarbital were recruited from a prospectively collected database, whereas we used a retrospective chart review to study subjects who received chloral hydrate. Sedation success was defined as the ability to provide adequate sedation using a single medication. We included electively performed sedations for subjects aged 2 months to 3 years who received either pentobarbital or chloral hydrate orally. We excluded subjects stratified as American Academy of Anesthesiologists category III or higher and those who received sedation for electroencephalogram. The data collected captured subject demographics and complications.RESULTS Five hundred thirty-four subjects were included in the final analysis, 368 in the chloral hydrate group and 166 in the pentobarbital group. Subjects who received pentobarbital had a statistically significant higher success rate [136 (82%) vs 238 (65%), p &lt; 0.001], but longer sleeping time (18.1% vs 0%, p &lt; 0.001) in all age groups. Subjects who received chloral hydrate had a higher risk of airway complications in the &lt;1 year of age group (6.5% vs 1.8%, p = 0.03).CONCLUSIONS For pediatric patients younger than 3 years of age undergoing sedation for imaging studies, oral pentobarbital may be at least as effective and as safe as chloral hydrate, making it an acceptable and practical alternative.
Evaluation of the Cardiovascular Effects of Clonidine in Neonates Treated for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome
Authors: Meddock Raymond P. , Bloemer Deirdre 
Published: January 2019

OBJECTIVES Neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) is characterized by withdrawal symptoms in neonates exposed to legal or illegal substances in utero, and it is often managed with medications such as opiates, phenobarbital, and clonidine. Clonidine use is increasing, but further safety data regarding its use in neonates are warranted. This study evaluated the effects of clonidine on heart rate and blood pressure in neonates treated for NAS at doses up to 24 mcg/kg/day.METHODS A retrospective review via the electronic medical record of infants at least 35 weeks' gestation treated adjunctively with clonidine for NAS in the neonatal intensive care unit at St Elizabeth was conducted. Heart rate, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure were recorded at baseline, while on different dose ranges of clonidine (small: ≤1.5 mcg/kg per dose every 3 hours; medium: &gt;1.5 to 2 mcg/kg per dose every 3 hours; and large: &gt;2 mcg/kg to 3 mcg/kg per dose every 3 hours), and upon discontinuation.RESULTS A total of 64 infants treated with clonidine for NAS between August 2015 and December 2016 were included. Heart rate decreased in all clonidine dose ranges compared with baseline (average reduction of 7 bpm [CI: −12 to −2], 9 bpm [CI: −16 to −2], and 10 bpm [CI: −18 to −1] for the small, medium, and large dose ranges, respectively; p &lt; 0.0001). Systolic and diastolic blood pressure were not significantly different from baseline when infants were receiving any dose of clonidine, except diastolic blood pressure while on medium–dose range clonidine, where diastolic blood pressure was higher than baseline (p = 0.0128). Increases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were evident upon discontinuation of clonidine (p &lt; 0.0001 and p = 0.0156, respectively).CONCLUSIONS Clonidine doses up to 24 mcg/kg/day are well tolerated in neonates ≥35 weeks' gestation treated for NAS. Any decreases in heart rate are likely clinically insignificant, and increases in blood pressure upon discontinuing clonidine are mild and may be mitigated further with extended discontinuation protocols. Further trials should be conducted to evaluate the long-term safety of clonidine in this population.
