Femmes et récits de soi. Un champ méditerranéen entre assignations, appropriations et action (xvie-xxie siècle) ?
Authors: Luciani Isabelle 
Published: March 2018

À partir d’un champ historiographique en plein essor, cet article souhaite questionner la manière dont il est possible d’analyser des pratiques d’écriture féminine dans une Méditerranée de la longue durée où l’hétérogène acquiert une valeur heuristique. Les récits de soi, des diverses possibilités de dire « je » qui s’emparent de la subordination féminine jusqu’à la déconstruction de catégories prétendues naturelles telles les appartenances à un sexe donné, à une société plus ou moins individualiste, à une aire culturelle étanche, sont autant de ressources permettant de décrire les formes genrées de l’individuation, de mesurer leur degré d’autonomie, de sonder leur capacité émancipatrice.
Penser les marges des marchés de poissons vénitiens
Authors: Rivoal Solène 
Published: March 2018

L’objectif de cet article est de comprendre le rôle des communautés de pêcheurs vénitiens au xviiie siècle dans les circuits d’approvisionnement de Venise, une des grandes villes d’Ancien Régime. Ces derniers sont effectivement vus comme des experts, détenteurs d’un savoir peu connu par les dirigeants vénitiens. De ce fait, ils participent directement, ou indirectement, à la création des normes de ce circuit d’approvisionnement. Pourtant les pêcheurs sont aussi sanctionnés dans leurs pratiques, et ce, sur la base des normes qu’ils peuvent avoir influencées. C’est cette contradiction qui sera discutée dans cet article.
Aux marges des institutions
Authors: García Juan Carlos Moreno 
Published: March 2018

L’étude des activités commerciales de l’Égypte pharaonique a été longtemps centrée sur les initiatives de l’État en raison de la documentation conservée. Celle-ci, en effet, concerne surtout les activités des marchands au service des grandes institutions (temples, palais), les expéditions royales envoyées à l’étranger (Pount, Sinaï, Levant, Nubie) et les archives diplomatiques qui évoquent les échanges entre les cours royales. Cependant, l’archéologie révèle une réalité bien plus nuancée, où des acteurs souvent négligés dans les sources officielles jouèrent un rôle très actif dans la diffusion des biens, des techniques et des idées sur de vastes distances. Surtout les populations pastorales (Nubiens, Libyens, Asiatiques) et des marchands indépendants, dont les activités avaient lieu fréquemment en marge des initiatives de l’État et au service de la demande privée.
Les diasporas marchandes et la notion de commerce illégal
Authors: Osipian Alexandr 
Published: March 2018

Cet article porte sur les communautés marchandes arméniennes qui, dans le royaume de Pologne à l’époque moderne, pratiquaient le commerce avec les régions de la Méditerranée orientale. Il analyse les connexions entre les réseaux de marchands étrangers, un marché qui se globalise, les politiques mercantilistes et la notion de commerce illégal. Il montre comment la notion d’« extranéité » ethnique ou religieuse attachée aux marchands de la diaspora jouait, dans les sociétés d’accueil, sur celle de commerce illégal, et comment le discours sur les diasporas marchandes était construit et par qui. Il avance enfin que le commerce « illégal » des diasporas était protégé par une aristocratie polonaise hostile aux restrictions opposées au commerce libre, dans les villes royales, par les règlements municipaux et les privilèges des corporations.
Orphan disease: Cherubism, optic atrophy, and short stature

Published: March 2018

AbstractA 12-year-old female presented with complaints of progressive visual impairment in both her eyes. On clinical examination, she was short for her age and her ophthalmoscopic examination revealed bilateral optic atrophy. Computed tomography of the patient revealed multiple expansile lytic lesions of mandible suggesting cherubism. The optic atrophy was confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging, which additionally revealed bilateral retrocerebellar arachnoid cysts. This association of cherubism with optic atrophy and short stature was grouped as orphan disease by National Institutes of Health and only one case was reported in the literature so far.
La contribución de Alvin Toffler al imaginario teórico y conceptual de la comunicación
Authors: Islas Octavio , Arribas Amaia , Gutiérrez Fernando 
Published: March 2018

Partimos de afirmar la complejidad de la comunicación y referimos algunas de las principales contribuciones al imaginario teórico y conceptual de la comunicología que han procedido de otros campos del conocimiento. Enseguida señalamos que Alvin Toffler, destacado futurólogo estadounidense, quien falleció el 27 de junio de 2016, realizó valiosísimas aportaciones a las ciencias de la comunicación. A finales de la década de 1970, por ejemplo, anticipó el fenómeno del prosumismo y dio nombre a la figura de los prosumidores. En años recientes un amplio número de académicos e investigadores de la comunicología –y de las ciencias sociales, en general- han reconocido la efectiva relevancia de los prosumidores en el desarrollo de las comunicaciones digitales.En la obra y pensamiento de Alvin Toffler también identificamos algunas preocupaciones presentes en la obra y pensamiento de Marshall McLuhan (1911-1980), así como en el imaginario de la Ecología de los Medios. En este texto centraremos nuestra mirada en tres de los principales libros de Alvin Toffler -El ‘shock del futuro´ (1970), La Tercera Ola (1980), La revolución de la riqueza (2006)-, en los cuales él y su esposa abordaron temas relacionados con el desarrollo de la comunicología, algunos de ellos coincidentes con tesis de Marshall McLuhan y la Ecología de los Medios.

<p>Simplified diets are based on maximum incorporation of fodder and/or by-products into animal feed, thus minimizing the formulation and the costs. This study aimed to evaluate the possibility of feeding fattening rabbits with a simplified diet composed of only two agro-industrial by-products inexpensive and locally available: brewer’s grain and wheat bran. At weaning (35 days), 68 rabbits were divided into two identical groups (mean weight = 833 g) and housed in individual cages until slaughter (77 days). Each of the two groups (B0 and SF) was fed <em>ad libitum</em> either a commercial pelleted feed (control), or a simplified pelleted experimental diet "SF" containing 72% wheat bran and 27% brewer’s grain. The feed conversion was within the standards and similar in the two groups (3.55 on average). The growth rate and feed intake of B0 group were 12% higher (P &lt;0.001) than that of the SF group (35.2g <em>vs</em> 31.2 and 128.3 <em>vs </em>113 g/d). The cold carcass yield and the carcass weight were respectively higher (P &lt;0.001) by 4 units and by 9% in the control group. The carcass of SF group was less fatty (perirenal fat: -23%, inguinal fat: -41% and scapular fat:-14%). The economic efficiency was 40% better for SF diet with almost 50 Algerian Dinar more benefit (/kg of meat).</p><p> </p>
A Social History of Early Rock ‘n’ Roll in Germany
Authors: Sneeringer Julia 
Published: March 2018

A Social History of Early Rock ‘n’ Roll in Germany explores the people and spaces of St. Pauli’s rock’n’roll scene in the 1960s. Starting in 1960, young British rockers were hired to entertain tourists in Hamburg’s red-light district around the Reeperbahn in the area of St. Pauli. German youths quickly joined in to experience the forbidden thrill of rock’n’roll, and used African American sounds to distance themselves from the old Nazi generation. In 1962 the Star Club opened and drew international attention for hosting some of the Beatles’ most influential performances. In this book, Julia Sneeringer weaves together this story of youth culture with histories of sex and gender, popular culture, media, and subculture.
By exploring the history of one locale in depth, Sneeringer offers a welcome contribution to the scholarly literature on space, place, sound and the city, and pays overdue attention to the impact that Hamburg had upon music and style. She is also careful to place performers such as The Beatles back into the social, spatial, and musical contexts that shaped them and their generation.
This book reveals that transnational encounters between musicians, fans, entrepreneurs and businessmen in St. Pauli produced a musical style that provided emotional and physical liberation and challenged powerful forces of conservatism and conformity with effects that transformed the world for decades to come
Using eddy covariance to measure the dependence of air–sea CO2 exchange rate on friction velocity

Published: March 2018

Abstract. Parameterisation of the air–sea gas transfer velocity of CO2 and other trace gases under open-ocean conditions has been a focus of air–sea interaction research and is required for accurately determining ocean carbon uptake. Ships are the most widely used platform for air–sea flux measurements but the quality of the data can be compromised by airflow distortion and sensor cross-sensitivity effects. Recent improvements in the understanding of these effects have led to enhanced corrections to the shipboard eddy covariance (EC) measurements.Here, we present a revised analysis of eddy covariance measurements of air–sea CO2 and momentum fluxes from the Southern Ocean Surface Ocean Aerosol Production (SOAP) study. We show that it is possible to significantly reduce the scatter in the EC data and achieve consistency between measurements taken on station and with the ship underway. The gas transfer velocities from the EC measurements correlate better with the EC friction velocity (u*) than with mean wind speeds derived from shipboard measurements corrected with an airflow distortion model. For the observed range of wind speeds (u10 N = 3–23 m s−1), the transfer velocities can be parameterised with a linear fit to u*. The SOAP data are compared to previous gas transfer parameterisations using u10 N computed from the EC friction velocity with the drag coefficient from the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) model version 3.5. The SOAP results are consistent with previous gas transfer studies, but at high wind speeds they do not support the sharp increase in gas transfer associated with bubble-mediated transfer predicted by physically based models.

Abstract. Sensor networks are being more widely used to characterize and understand compounds in the atmosphere like ozone (O3). This study employs a measurement tool, called the U-Pod, constructed at the University of Colorado Boulder, to investigate spatial and temporal variability of O3 in a 200 km2 area of Riverside County near Los Angeles, California. This tool contains low-cost sensors to collect ambient data at non-permanent locations. The U-Pods were calibrated using a pre-deployment field calibration technique; all the U-Pods were collocated with regulatory monitors. After collocation, the U-Pods were deployed in the area mentioned. A subset of pods was deployed at two local regulatory air quality monitoring stations providing validation for the collocation calibration method. Field validation of sensor O3 measurements to minute-resolution reference observations resulted in R2 and root mean squared errors (RMSEs) of 0.95–0.97 and 4.4–5.9 ppbv, respectively. Using the deployment data, ozone concentrations were observed to vary on this small spatial scale. In the analysis based on hourly binned data, the median R2 values between all possible U-Pod pairs varied from 0.52 to 0.86 for ozone during the deployment. The medians of absolute differences were calculated between all possible pod pairs, 21 pairs total. The median values of those median absolute differences for each hour of the day varied between 2.2 and 9.3 ppbv for the ozone deployment. Since median differences between U-Pod concentrations during deployment are larger than the respective root mean square error values, we can conclude that there is spatial variability in this criteria pollutant across the study area. This is important because it means that citizens may be exposed to more, or less, ozone than they would assume based on current regulatory monitoring.

Published: March 2018

Abstract. A new sensor for measuring low-amplitude magnetic fields that is ideal for small spacecraft is presented. The novel measurement principle enables the fabrication of a low-cost sensor with low power consumption and with measuring capabilities that are comparable to recent developments for CubeSat applications. The current magnetometer, a software-modified version of a commercial sensor, is capable of detecting fields with amplitudes as low as 8.7 nT at 40 Hz and 2.7 nT at 1 Hz, with a noise floor of 4 pT∕Hz at 1 Hz. The sensor has a linear response to less than 3 % over a range of ±100 000 nT. All of these features make the magneto-inductive principle a promising technology for the development of magnetic sensors for both space-borne and ground-based applications to study geomagnetic activity.
Ensemble modeling of stochastic unsteady open-channel flow in terms of its
time–space evolutionary probability distribution – Part 2: numerical application
Authors: Dib Alain , Kavvas M. Levent 
Published: March 2018

Abstract. The characteristic form of the Saint-Venant equations is solved in a stochastic setting by using a newly proposed Fokker–Planck Equation (FPE) methodology. This methodology computes the ensemble behavior and variability of the unsteady flow in open channels by directly solving for the flow variables' time–space evolutionary probability distribution. The new methodology is tested on a stochastic unsteady open-channel flow problem, with an uncertainty arising from the channel's roughness coefficient. The computed statistical descriptions of the flow variables are compared to the results obtained through Monte Carlo (MC) simulations in order to evaluate the performance of the FPE methodology. The comparisons show that the proposed methodology can adequately predict the results of the considered stochastic flow problem, including the ensemble averages, variances, and probability density functions in time and space. Unlike the large number of simulations performed by the MC approach, only one simulation is required by the FPE methodology. Moreover, the total computational time of the FPE methodology is smaller than that of the MC approach, which could prove to be a particularly crucial advantage in systems with a large number of uncertain parameters. As such, the results obtained in this study indicate that the proposed FPE methodology is a powerful and time-efficient approach for predicting the ensemble average and variance behavior, in both space and time, for an open-channel flow process under an uncertain roughness coefficient.

Peat soil amelioration has important role on improvement of soil peat fertility such as on increasing soil pH, reducing organic acid and toxic ions, and also increasing nutrients availability. Soil amelioration with polyvalent cations (Fe Al Cu Zn) namely slag, lateritic soils, and river mud are effectively reducing harmful effect of phenolic acid. The objectives of the study were to determine the effect of soil amelioration on peat soil chemical properties, optimum temperature amelioran tras and dolomite to increase Si concentration in peat soil, also to determine the effect of soil amelioration on increasing crop productivity (both biomass and yield). The study was consisted of two sets of experiments, namely soil incubation in the laboratory and greenhouse experiment with 4 replications of CRD (complete randomized design) plot design. The result of the study showed that the application of slag and dolomite are significantly different to increase pH, base saturation, and (Ca, Mg) content, meanwhile slag application was more complex and stable on improving chemical properties of peat soil. Slag was also improving pH, KB, and Ca, Fe content as well as silica and ash. Tras and dolomite burning were not significantly different on increasing silica in peat soil. Slag application was significantly increased both dried crop biomass and yield on rice. The best ameliorant was slag compared to tras, dolomite, and mixed tras dolomit with slag.Keywords: Ameliorant, organic acids, paddy, peat soil

The objectives of the research were to compare the quality of physical and chemical characteristics of the soils in the oil palm plantations applied with integrated farming system of cattle and oil palm plantation (IFSCO) and without IFSCO (non-IFSCO), as well as to evaluate the economic benefits of IFSCO application. The research was conducted in two oil palm plantations, i.e. an oil palm plantation applied with IFSCO (5 ha) and an oil palm plantation without IFSCO application (non-IFSCO) (5 ha), located in the Karya Makmur Village, Penawar Aji Subdistrict, Tulang Bawang District, Lampung, Indonesia, in June until August 2016. The research was conducted using a survey and systematic sampling methods to collect soil samples, and data from 30 farmers who applied IFSCO and other 30 farmers who applied non-IFSCO. The results showed that the application of organic fertilizer in the IFSCO field resulted in higher level of exchangeable-K, -Ca, -Mg, and -Na, cation exchange capacity (CEC), and organic-C content of the soil;and better improvement on the physical soil quality, i.e. bulk density, porosity and soil moisture content; in comparison to that in the field without organic fertilizer application (non-IFSCO field). However, the application of IFSCO did not affect the pH, available-P, base saturation and total-N content of the soil. There was a difference in the texture class of the soils in the IFSCO field and non-IFSCO field. The result of texture analysis showed that the texture of the soil in the IFSCO field is “clay”, while the texture of the soil in the non-IFSCO field is “sandy clay loam”. Application of IFSCO can save the fertilizer cost by 66%, the feed cost by 50%, and can increase oil palm production and farmers’ income by about 25%, so it is economically profitable. Thus, IFSCO can improve soil quality and provide economic benefits for the farmers, so the IFSCO obviously supports the implementation of sustainable agriculture.
Motives and Measures of Higher Education Internationalisation: A Case Study of a Canadian University
Authors: Yesufu Lawal O. 
Published: March 2018

Internationalisation is the inclusion of international, intercultural and global dimensions into the objectives, policies and practices in the delivery of postsecondary education. The objective of the research was to investigate the types of partnerships and internationalisation approaches that exist in higher education, the motives of internationalisation and the most appropriate approaches to measuring the quality and progress of internationalisation in higher education. A number of studies on internationalisation have been carried out. However, there is a limit on the scale and amount of research undertaken on measuring the output of internationalisation in higher education, in particular in the context of the Canadian higher education system. This paper is based on case study research to determine the motives of internationalisation in higher education in a Canadian university and it uses the Knight Internationalisation Tracking Measure to test the quality and progress of internationalisation in the university. The research entailed document analysis, interviews and surveys which were designed to gather data on internationalisation practices and objectives from university staff involved in the management of internationalisation and international partnerships. The content of the interviews and surveys were based on the measures defined by the Knight Internationalisation Tracking Measure. The research found that higher education institutions are motivated by the prospects of attracting additional income to make-up for the reduction in government funding. In addition, internationalisation offers access to staff development opportunities, internationalisation of the curriculum, and wider benefits leading to societal development. These findings and recommendations are drawn from a single case study.
The Reliability of Evidence in Evidence-Based Legislation

The Reliability of Evidence in Evidence-Based Legislation
As evidence-based legislation develops, and as technology puts more information at our fingertips, there should be a better understanding of what exactly constitutes reliable evidence. Robert and Ann Seidman devoted their professional careers to developing the evidence-based Institutional Legislative Theory and Methodology and teaching it to legislative drafters around the world. Although ILTAM was firmly grounded in – and driven by – evidence, the question becomes what evidence is reliable and a worthy input for the methodology. Further, how can the drafter avoid the misuses of evidence such as confirmation bias and naïve beliefs? We aim to give a guide for using evidence by offering examples of evidence-based legislation in practice and through a proposed hierarchy of evidence from most to least reliable: Experiments within the jurisdiction / lessons from other jurisdictions. Information on a topic or issue that was formally requested by the legislature or produced to the legislature under oath or under the penalties of perjury. Studies / information provided by a government agency. Expert or scientific studies. Economic or mathematical models and statistics. Information provided by special interests. Stories, apocrypha and uncorroborated tales. We hope that this hierarchy provides a starting point for discussion to refine and improve evidence-based legislation.
