The Star Formation History in the Solar Neighborhood as Told by Massive White Dwarfs
Authors: Isern Jordi 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
White dwarfs (WDs) are the remnants of low- and intermediate-mass stars. Because of electron degeneracy, their evolution is just a simple gravothermal process of cooling. Recently, thanks to Gaia data, it has been possible to construct the luminosity function of massive (

) WDs in the solar neighborhood (

pc). Because the lifetime of their progenitors is very short, the birth times of both parents and daughters are very close and facilitate the reconstruction of an (effective) star formation rate. This rate started growing from zero during the early Galaxy and reached a maximum 6–7 Gyr ago. It declined and ∼5 Gyr ago started to climb once more, reaching a maximum 2–3 Gyr ago; it has decreased since then. There are some traces of a recent star formation burst, but the method used here is not appropriate for recently born WDs.
La place des femmes dans la vie publique de Pergame sous le Haut Empire : essai de synthèse
Authors: Ventroux Olivier 
Published: June 2019

Les sources épigraphiques de Pergame présentent d’indéniables difficultés pour appréhender la place des femmes dans la vie publique de la cité (rareté des femmes évergètes ou magistrats/liturges, textes courts et stéréotypés). Si les femmes pouvaient jouer un rôle majeur dans la sphère religieuse, le profil social des évergètes et des titulaires d’une magistrature ou d’une liturgie est difficile à cerner. La fortune, si elle fut essentielle, ne constitua pas le critère décisif de leur promotion sociale : leurs liens avec Rome et l’influence des hommes de leur famille furent des éléments bien plus déterminants.
Les femmes de l’entourage d’Hérode Atticus
Authors: Perrin-Saminadayar Éric 
Published: June 2019

Philostrate, et les historiens modernes après lui, présentent le milieu des sophistes et des notables athéniens qui gravitent autour d’Hérode Atticus comme un monde masculin ; les femmes n’y apparaissent qu’exceptionnellement comme faire-valoir du grand homme et de ses qualités morales. L’épigraphie permet de présenter un tout autre tableau de la place des femmes dans la vie du sophiste, mais aussi dans la société athénienne à l’époque impériale : l’étude s’attache à montrer combien elles ont contribué de manière très importante à la fortune du sophiste et comment elles lui ont aussi permis d’asseoir ses réseaux internationaux ; elle présente enfin les femmes comme de véritables actrices de la vie publique athénienne, à l’égal des hommes.
D’une matérialité à l’autre : le tirage au sort au prisme de l’acte électoral
Authors: Déloye Yves 
Published: June 2019

À l’inverse de toutes les traditions essentialisantes d’analyse des instruments de sélection politique, cette série de textes offre un contre-point fort précieux. Parce qu’il prend soin, tout d’abord, de contextualiser les diverses et multiples expériences du tirage au sort dans le domaine politique mais aussi judiciaire, administratif et religieux. En multipliant les récits d’expérience (du monde antique aux usages les plus contemporains du tirage au sort), en croisant les échelles historiques, en hybridant les analyses historiques avec des développements plus théoriques, ce dossier thématique donne à voir dans toutes ses variétés et ses dimensions le panorama des pratiques, des rituels, des formats matériels qui accompagnèrent historiquement les mises en œuvre effectives du tirage au sort. Loin de renvoyer à une « essence » ou à une « nature », ni même à un principe stabilisé, le tirage au sort se révèle systématiquement imbriqué dans des arrangements institutionnels ritualisés, dans des configurations historiques, dans des cultures (souvent indissociablement religieuse et politique) qui singularisent le tirage au sort et interdit d’en globaliser l’étude et la compréhension.
L’entrée en pédagogie Montessori d’enseignant.e.s d’écoles maternelles publiques française depuis 2010. Raisons et modalités
Authors: Huard Chrystel 
Published: June 2019

La proposition pédagogique de Maria Montessori, au début du XXème siècle, était une alternative à l’enseignement traditionnel. Elle connait, un siècle plus tard, un engouement sans précédent dans l’école maternelle publique française. Quatre éléments contextuels en ont permis l’émergence : l’évolution de la prescription institutionnelle à l’égard de l’école maternelle ; des enseignants confrontés à des demandes sociétales et institutionnelles paradoxales ; des pratiques pédagogiques qui s’essoufflent ; une motivation des enseignants à faire faire évoluer ces mêmes pratiques. Une primarisation croissante de l’école maternelle en conflit avec une demande sociétale de prise en compte plus individuelle de l’enfant a en effet déstabilisé le corps enseignant créant ainsi les conditions d’un changement de pratiques. Dans ce développement, les réseaux créés sur Internet ont joué un rôle majeur pour permettre cette entrée en pédagogie Montessori, entre adaptation à la réalité des classes et conformité aux demandes institutionnelles. Au-delà des raisons qui ont présidé à la naissance de ce mouvement, il s’agit également, dans cet article, de retracer le parcours des premiers enseignants. Comment sont-ils parvenus à la pédagogie Montessori, se sont-ils formés à cette pédagogie et si oui de quelle façon ?
Cultural Diversity and Patient Teaching
Authors: Price Joseph L , Cordell Barbara 
Published: June 2019

ABSTRACT
Cultural diversity challenges health care providers to facilitate bridging cross-cultural gaps with clients. It is through providing culturally relevant care that health care practitioners truly serve the needs of all clients in our diverse society. A theory of Cultural Care Diversity and Universality offers a framework for building linkages of clinical knowledge to cultural care. A four-step approach to providing culturally sensitive patient teaching is described: (1) health care providers should assess their own cultural beliefs and be aware of general ethnic, regional, and religious beliefs and practices in their area; (2) develop a teaching plan; (3) implement the plan; (4) evaluate the success of the teaching-learning process and make alterations based on evaluation. When providers assess clients' beliefs and practices and incorporate them into the teaching plan design, teaching becomes more relevant and clients become more successful at learning.

IntroductionThe aim of the study was to study the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC)-dorsal midbrain striatum (DMS) in neuropathic pain in mice.Material and methodsOptogenetics has been increasingly used in neuroscience research to selectively and precisely control the activity of a defined group of central neurons to determine their roles in behavioral functions in animals. The most important opsins are blue-sensitive ChR2 and yellow-sensitive NpHR. Calcium-calmodulin dependent protein kinase Iiα (CaMKIIα) is mostly expressed in the pyramidal excitatory neurons. Mice were injected with AAV2/9-CamKII-ChR2-mCherry, AAV2/9-CamKII-eNpHR3.0-GFP or AAV2/9-CamKII-mCherry virus in the ACC region, and the optical fiber implantation was performed in the ACC or DMS region. Mice were then followed up for 2 to 8 weeks and behavioral tests were carried out in the presence or absence of the blue/yellow light (473 nm/589 nm). Pain behavioral tests with or without the blue/yellow light at the same time were performed on the third and the seventh day after the chronic constriction injury of sciatic nerve model (CCI) was established. The pain thresholds of left and right hind limbs of mice in all groups were measured.ResultsNo matter whether activating the neurons in ACC or DMS, compared with normal mice in the ChR2-off-right group, and the mCherry-on-right group, the thermal pain threshold and mechanical pain threshold of the normal mice in the ChR2-on-right group were significantly lower. When inhibiting the neurons in the ACC or DMS, on day 3 and day 7 after CCI operation, the thermal pain threshold and mechanical pain threshold of the CCI mice of the NpHR-on-right group were significantly higher compared with the NpHR-off-right and mCherry-on-right groups.ConclusionsThe anterior cingulate cortex-dorsal midbrain striatum may be involved in the regulation of neuropathic pain in mice.

IntroductionOvarian cancer is the most frequent cause of gynecological cancer related mortality in woman. This study was designed to investigate the role and therapeutic potential of miRNA-101 in ovarian cancer.Material and methodsExpression analysis was carried out by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Transfections were performed with the help of Lipofectamine 2000 reagent. AO/EB and annexin V/PI staining was used to detect apoptosis and flow cytometry was used for cell cycle analysis. Western blotting was employed for cell cycle analysis.ResultsIt was found that miRNA-101 was significantly down-regulated in ovarian cancer cells. The over-expression of miRNA-101 causes a significant decrease in the viability of ovarian cancer cells via the initiation of apoptosis and sub-G1 arrest of OVACAR-3 cells. It was indicated that PTEN was the potential target of miRNA-101 in OVACAR-3 cells. There was 4.5-fold up-regulation of PTEN expression in ovarian cancer cell lines and the over-expression of miRNA-101 in OVACAR-3 cells resulted in the down-regulation of PTEN expression. The inhibition of PTEN in the OVACAR-3 cells arrested the proliferation of these cells. The over-expression of miRNA-101 causes significant down-regulation in PI3K and AKT expression of OVACAR-3 cells.ConclusionsIt can be concluded that miRNA-101 acts as a tumor suppressor which may be beneficial in the treatment of ovarian cancer.

Published: June 2019

IntroductionSeveral published results have established variations in respect to plasma/serum macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) levels and gene polymorphisms with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This study gave a more concise estimation on the MIF levels for SLE patients and established the association between MIF polymorphisms and SLE.Material and methodsAll articles were searched from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Wan-Fang, Chinese Biological Medical Literature, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure up to 6th October 2017, with no language restriction. Pooled standard mean difference with 95% conﬁdence interval was evaluated using random effect model. Thirteen articles were used for this meta-analysis, with 620 SLE patients and 779 healthy controls assessed for MIF levels, and 2,159 SLE patients and 2,574 healthy controls considered for MIF-173 C/G and MIF-794 CATT polymorphisms.ResultsThere was a significant higher MIF levels in SLE patients than in healthy controls (p = 0.004). The subgroup analysis showed Asians and ages < 30 had higher MIF levels in SLE patients than in healthy controls. It was evident that patients with systemic lupus erythematosus diseases activity index scores < 8 and ≥ 8, and disease duration for both year < 5 and ≥ 5 of SLE had higher MIF levels when compared to healthy controls. We found a signiﬁcant association between SLE and MIF-173 C/G, but not MIF-794 CATT.ConclusionsThis study provided evidence of significant higher MIF levels in SLE patients and supported the association of MIF-173 C/G and SLE. However, we were not able to establish an association between MIF-794 CATT and SLE.

Abstract. This paper describes the aerosol measurement setup and
results obtained during the BEXUS18 (Balloon-borne Experiments for University Students) stratospheric balloon within the
A5-Unibo (Advanced Atmospheric Aerosol Acquisition and Analysis)
experiment performed on 10 October 2014 in northern Sweden (Kiruna).
The experimental setup was designed and developed by the University of
Bologna with the aim of collecting and analyzing vertical profiles of
atmospheric ions and particles together with atmospheric parameters
(temperature, relative humidity, and pressure) all along the stratospheric
ascent of the BEXUS18 stratospheric balloon. Particle size distributions
were measured with the MeteoModem Light Optical Aerosol Counter (LOAC) and
air ion density was measured with a set of two commercial and portable ion
counters. Though the experimental setup was based upon relatively low-cost
and light-weight sensors, vertical profiles of all the parameters up to an
altitude of about 27 km were successfully collected. The results obtained
are useful for elucidating the relationships between aerosols and charged
particles between ground level and the stratosphere, with great potential in
collecting and adding useful information in this field, also in the
stratosphere where such measurements are rare. In particular, the equipment
detected coherent vertical profiles for particles and ions, with a
particularly strong correlation between negative ions and fine particles,
possibly resulting from proposed associations between cosmic rays and ions
as previously suggested. In addition, the detection of charged aerosols in
the stratosphere is in agreement with the results obtained by a previous
flight and with simulations conducted with a stratospheric ion–aerosol
model. However, further measurements under stratospheric balloon flights
equipped with a similar setup are needed to reach general conclusions about
such important issues.

Sobre dos poblaciones, prematuros (con factores de riesgo), y no prematuros (sin factores de riesgo), se encontró en ambos grupos grados de hipoacusia neurosensorial fluctuante de leve a severa en diferentes porcentajes, permitiendo caracterizar la población de recién nacidos que presentan hipoacusia con y sin factores de riesgo, dejando en evidencia la importancia de realizar una evaluación auditiva a todos los recién nacidos, para detectarla precozmente y habilitar de forma inmediata a aquellos niños que lo requieran.
Agrarian writers, agronomists
Authors: Goodman Penelope J. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

The ancient agrarian writers (or agronomists) wrote manuals on the practice of farming. Though often categorized as technical literature, the principal surviving examples – Cato's
De agri cultura
, Varro's
Res rusticae,
and Columella's
De re rustica
– all demonstrate literary self‐conscious, and in Varro and Columella this is highly developed. The genre was always highly moralizing, and concerned at least as much with elite self‐fashioning as providing practical guidance to agriculturalists. But it does provide important insights into the economics and technological practices of ancient farming.
Cleopatra, alchemist
Authors: Fabrizi Virginia 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Greek and Byzantine alchemical texts refer to the teachings of an alchemist named Cleopatra, whom they possibly identified with the queen of Egypt Cleopatra VII. Although such writings are very probably spurious, they testify to the prestige attached to Cleopatra's name in Greco‐Egyptian and Byzantine alchemy. One of these texts, the
Dialogue of Cleopatra and the philosophers
, is notable for the metaphor of death and resurrection that it uses to describe the transmutation of metals.
Meteorology
Authors: Taub Liba 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

For ancient Greeks and Romans, meteorology – the study of
meteora
(“things high up”) – treated phenomena including wind, rain, thunder, and lightning (classified today as atmospheric), as well as comets and earthquakes (now regarded as astronomical or seismological). The focus on phenomena as observed events is a hallmark of Greco‐Roman meteorology, which aimed to explain meteorological phenomena as occurring naturally, rather than due to extra‐ or supernatural causes.
Ainesidemos of Knossos
Authors: Ioppolo Anna Maria 
Published: June 2019

Abstract

Ainesidemos was a Greek philosopher who flourished in the first half of the first century
bce
and who founded a new school of skepticism under the name of Pyrrho. We know very little about his life and most of what we know is controversial. According to the evidence, we cannot say with any certainty the exact date of his birth or conclude whether he was born in Knossos or Aigai. It seems he began as a student at the skeptical Academy under Philon of Larissa and that he abandoned it due to its increasing concessions to Stoic dogmatism.

Improving the Activity for Oxygen Evolution Reaction by Tailoring Oxygen Defects in Double Perovskite Oxides
Authors: Zhu Yunmin , Zhang Lei , Zhao Bote , Chen Huijun , Liu Xi , Zhao Ran , Wang Xinwei , Liu Jiang , Chen Yan , Liu Meilin 
Published: June 2019

AbstractDeveloping low‐cost, high‐performance electro‐catalysts is essential for large‐scale application of electrochemical energy devices. In this article, reported are the findings in understanding and controlling oxygen defects in PrBa0.5Sr0.5Co1.5Fe0.5O5+δ (PBSCF) for significantly enhancing the rate of oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are reported. Utilizing surface‐sensitive characterization techniques and first‐principle calculations, it is found that excessive oxygen vacancies promote OH− affiliation and lower the theoretical energy for the formation of O* on the surface, thus greatly facilitating the OER kinetics. On the other hand, however, oxygen vacancies also increase the energy band gap and lower the O 2p band center of PBSCF, which may hinder OER kinetics. Still, careful tuning of these competing effects has resulted in enhanced OER activity for PBSCF with oxygen defects. This work also demonstrates that oxygen defects generated by different techniques have very different characteristics, resulting in different impacts on the activity of electrodes. In particular, PBSCF nanotubes after electrochemical reduction exhibit outstanding OER activity compared with the recently reported perovskite‐based catalysts.

AbstractIn this work, an oxide‐dispersed strategy is developed for Ag ultrathin films with low percolation thickness, ultrasmoothness, and excellent stability, which are all critical for their practical applications. Through simply sputtering of CdO‐containing Ag target, nearly amorphous Ag ultrathin films with CdO dispersion are prepared on glass or polyimide substrates under room temperature. The CdO‐dispersed Ag thin films exhibit a low percolation threshold of 5 nm with a transmittance of 89% at 550 nm and a sheet resistance of 32.9 Ω sq−1. The Ag–CdO films also feature an ultrasmooth growth with roughness remaining at 0.2 nm for further deposition. Furthermore, the CdO‐dispersed Ag thin films remain stable under 250 °C annealing in air, and highly accelerated stress test at 121 °C, 97% relative humidity (RH), and 0.1 MPa for 36 h. Flexible heaters with indium‐tin‐oxide (ITO)/CdO‐dispersed Ag/ITO/polyimide structure can reach a working temperature of 450 °C within a few seconds. In addition, the oxide‐dispersed strategy for preparing Ag ultrathin films with low percolation, subnanometer smoothness, and prominent durability is further verified using SnO2 and ZnO. The present study provides new insights for the growth and properties of ultrathin metallic films, and pushes forward the practical applications of ultrathin metallic films in optoelectronic devices.
