Authors: Odynets Tetiana , Briskin Yuriy , Pityn Maryan 
Published: March 2019

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of individualized physical rehabilitation programs targeted at improving functional state of upper extremity in women with post-mastectomy syndrome.
Method: Eighty five women with late symptoms of post-mastectomy syndrome were enrolled in the study. The participants were randomly enrolled for the first individualized program (Main Group, n=45) and for the second individualized program (Comparison Group, n=40). The first program included aqua aerobics (aqua jogging, aqua building, aqua stretching), conditional swimming, and recreational aerobics; the second program included conditional swimming and Pilates exercises.
Results: It was found that most of the investigated anthropometry and goniometry parameters in both groups steadily improved during the year of rehabilitation. After 6 months of rehabilitation the average values of active range of flexion and abduction were statistically higher in women Main Group compared with Comparison Group by 10 degrees (p<0.001) and 6.43 degrees (p<0.01), respectively. The severity of lymphedema in the Main Group was significantly lower at the area of forearm by 0.39 cm (p<0.05) compared with Comparison Group.
Conclusions: Findings have suggested that developed individualized physical rehabilitation programs could be considered as effective methods for improvement of the shoulder range of motion and decrease breast cancer-related lymphedema in patients with post-mastectomy syndrome.

Published: March 2019

The study investigates the influence of leadership styles, i.e. transactional and transformational on promoting organizational learning in some selected private universities in Chittagong, Bangladesh. The study used a quantitative research design. Data have been collected from three private universities of Chittagong through a survey instrument. The study analyzed in total 147 matched completed questionnaires. The findings of the study revealed that contingent reward of transactional leadership and idealized influence and individualized consideration of transformational leadership played significant and positive influence on enhancing organizational learning. Although, findings of this research did not report any significant impact of management by exception-active and management by exception-passive as constructs of transactional leadership as well as inspirational motivation and intellectual stimulation as dimensions of transformational leadership style on organizational learning. The study extends present literature in the field by relating leadership styles and organizational learning focusing on emerging economies particularly in the context of Bangladesh.

Abstract
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations of high-J CO lines (J
up = 6, 7, 8) and associated dust continuum toward five strongly lensed, dusty, star-forming galaxies at redshift z = 2.7–5.7. These galaxies, discovered in the South Pole Telescope survey, are observed at 0.″2–0.″4 resolution with ALMA. Our high-resolution imaging coupled with the lensing magnification provides a measurement of the structure and kinematics of molecular gas in the background galaxies with spatial resolutions down to kiloparsec scales. We derive visibility-based lens models for each galaxy, accurately reproducing observations of four of the galaxies. Of these four targets, three show clear velocity gradients, of which two are likely rotating disks. We find that the reconstructed region of CO emission is less concentrated than the region emitting dust continuum even for the moderate-excitation CO lines, similar to what has been seen in the literature for lower-excitation transitions. We find that the lensing magnification of a given source can vary by 20%–50% across the line profile, between the continuum and line, and between different CO transitions. We apply Large Velocity Gradient modeling using apparent and intrinsic line ratios between lower-J and high-J CO lines. Ignoring these magnification variations can bias the estimate of physical properties of interstellar medium of the galaxies. The magnitude of the bias varies from galaxy to galaxy and is not necessarily predictable without high-resolution observations.

Abstract
In this work, we have applied a semi-empirical spectral classification method for OB-stars using the APOGEE spectrograph to a sample of candidates in the W3–W4–W5 (W345) complexes. These massive star-forming regions span over 200 pc across the Perseus arm and have a notorious population of massive stars, from which a large fraction are members of various embedded and young open clusters. From 288 APOGEE spectra showing H-band spectral features typical of O- and B-type sources, 46 probably correspond to previously unknown O-type stars. Therefore, we confirm that Br11–Br13 together with He ii
λ16923 (7–12) and He ii
λ15723 (7–13) lines contained in the APOGEE spectral bands are useful in providing spectral classification down to one spectral sub-class for massive stars in regions as distant as d ≈ 2 kpc. The large number of newly found O-type stars as well as the numerous intermediate-mass population confirm that W345 is a very efficient massive star factory, with an integral stellar population probably amounting several thousand solar masses.

Abstract
We present the results from new deep Chandra (∼410 ks) and Suzaku (∼180 ks) observations of the merging galaxy cluster ZwCl 0008.8+5215 (z = 0.104). Previous radio observations revealed the presence of a double radio relic located diametrically west and east of the cluster center. Using our new Chandra data, we find evidence for the presence of a shock at the location of the western relic, RW, with a Mach number

from the density jump. We also measure

and

from the temperature jump, with Chandra and Suzaku, respectively. These values are consistent with the Mach number estimate from a previous study of the radio spectral index, under the assumption of diffusive shock acceleration (

). Interestingly, the western radio relic does not entirely trace the X-ray shock. A possible explanation is that the relic traces fossil plasma from nearby radio galaxies that is reaccelerated at the shock. For the eastern relic we do not detect an X-ray surface brightness discontinuity, despite the fact that radio observations suggest a shock with

. The low surface brightness and reduced integration time for this region might have prevented the detection. The Chandra surface brightness profile suggests

Probing Cosmic Acceleration Using Model-independent Parameterizations and Three Kinds of Supernova Statistics Techniques
Authors: Luo Xiaolin , Wang Shuang , Wen Sixiang 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
In this work, we explore the evolution of the dark energy equation of state ω using Chevalliear–Polarski–Linder parameterization and binned parameterizations. For binned parameterizations, we adopt three methods to choose the redshift interval: (1) ensure that “△z = const,” where △z is the width of each bin; (2) ensure that “n△z = const,” where n is the number of SN Ia in each bin; and (3) treat redshift discontinuity points as model parameters, i.e., “free △z.” For observational data, we adopt JLA SN Ia samples, SDSS DR12 data, and Planck 2015 distance priors. In particular, for JLA SN Ia samples, we consider three statistic techniques: magnitude statistics, which is the traditional method; flux statistics, which reduces the systematic uncertainties of SN Ia; and improved flux statistics, which can reduce the systematic uncertainties and give tighter constrains at the same time. The results are as follows. For all the cases, ω = −1 is always satisfied at the 1σ confidence regions; this means that ΛCDM is still favored by current observations. For magnitude statistics, the “free △z” model will give the smallest error bars. However, this conclusion does not hold true for flux statistics and improved flux statistic. The improved flux statistic yields the largest present fractional density of matter Ω
m
; in addition, this technique will give the largest current deceleration parameter q
0 , which reveals the universe with the slowest cosmic acceleration.
Contacts of Water Ice in Protoplanetary Disks—Laboratory Experiments
Authors: Musiolik Grzegorz , Wurm Gerhard 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
Water ice is abundant in protoplanetary disks. Its sticking properties are therefore important during phases of collisional growth. In this work, we study the sticking and rolling of 1.1 mm ice grains at different temperatures. We find a strong increase in sticking between 175 and 200 K, which levels off at higher temperatures. In terms of surface energy this is an increase with a factor of 63.4, e.g., from γ = 0.0029 to γ = 0.19 J m−2, respectively. We also measured critical forces for inelastic rolling. The critical rolling distance is constant with a value of 0.19 mm. In view of planetesimal formation at low temperatures in protoplanetary disks, the surface energy is not larger than for silicate dust, and ice aggregation will share the same shortcomings. In general, water ice has no advantage over silicates for sticking, and collisional growth might not favor ice over silicates.
Entre dépendance et rêve d’autonomie. Les usages populaires de l’État au Venezuela contemporain
Authors: Tarragoni Federico 
Published: March 2019

Après les désillusions de la gouvernance néo-libérale, de nombreux États latino-américains s’ouvrent progressivement à une « société civile populaire » via la généralisation de dispositifs participatifs hybrides, agençant responsabilisation des bénéficiaires des politiques publiques dans les barrios et activation d’une « démocratie de surveillance ». En se fondant sur des enquêtes ethnographiques réalisées entre 2007 et 2011 sur les Conseils communaux vénézuéliens, cet article montre que les nouveaux rapports populaires à l’État peuvent être lus en croisant deux variables sociologiques, l’explicitation d’un état de dépendance et la production de nouveaux référents pour l’autonomie. Quatre types d’« usages populaires de l’État » apparaissent ainsi clairement (la dépendance refoulée, le victimisme, le conflit et la dépendance assumée), témoignant de la complexité des formes de politisation populaire enclenchées par le nouvel « État participatif ».
Grandeurs de l’écologie
Authors: Granjou Céline 
Published: March 2019

Cet article contribue à explorer les revendications contemporaines de statut et d’importance de l’écologie à partir du cas des grandes infrastructures expérimentales de recherche que sont les écotrons. On s’appuie sur une enquête empirique réalisée autour des deux écotrons français construits à la fin des années 2000 et sur leur comparaison avec l’écotron construit à Londres au début des années 1990. On montre que l’agenda des recherches en écotrons combine l’inscription de l’écologie dans un registre classique de grandeur par la « dureté » sur le modèle de la physique, avec l’affirmation d’un registre de grandeur par la « pertinence » sur le modèle des sciences du climat. Dans les écotrons, l’utilisation des scénarios climatiques et l’attention portée au rôle fonctionnel des micro-organismes concourent en particulier à négocier la grandeur de l’écologie en termes d’anticipation du changement global et d’optimisation des fonctions et services des écosystèmes. On pointe finalement comment, d’un écotron à l’autre, l’économie des grandeurs scientifiques se trouve renégociée à distance des questions de conservation des espèces et de la biodiversité, au profit d’un horizon de sécurisation des écosystèmes et des services qu’ils rendent aux sociétés.
Le savant, le cobaye et l’antivivisectionniste
Authors: Carrié Fabien 
Published: March 2019

Le XIX e siècle constitue une période de développement considérable d’un rationalisme expérimental dans les sciences du vivant, rationalisme fondé entre autres sur des pratiques et méthodes d’investigation à vif d’animaux cobayes, les vivisections. Savoirs, concepts et modes d’interaction avec l’animal constitutifs de ces sciences – et notamment de la première d’entre elles, la physiologie expérimentale – n’obtiennent pas pour autant la reconnaissance immédiate qu’une lecture téléologique du phénomène laisserait supposer. Les modalités de leur diffusion et acceptation varient en effet considérablement d’un espace national à l’autre, les contrastes et décalages étant particulièrement marqués entre, d’un côté, la France, qui constitue avec l’Allemagne l’un des centres depuis lesquels se développent ces magistères et, de l’autre, l’Angleterre, où l’importation des schèmes de la physiologie expérimentale favorise dans la seconde moitié du siècle le développement de l’antivivisectionnisme, mobilisation collective et idéologie hostile à l’implantation de ces nouvelles sciences. Cet article propose à partir d’une approche synthésiste articulant l’analyse de différents niveaux d’intégration de rendre compte de l’universalisation différenciée entre la France et l’Angleterre des principes de vision de ces sciences.
Stigmatisation et rédemption
Authors: Beaugé Julien 
Published: March 2019

Pour supporter les difficultés qu’elles rencontrent au quotidien en raison de leur voile, les musulmanes que nous avons interrogées mobilisent une représentation originale du problème du voile en France : le thème religieux de la patience face à l’épreuve. Bien loin d’un appel à la mobilisation collective au nom de l’islam, il relève plutôt de « ce que Weber appelait la “théodicée de la souffrance” [soit] la manière dont la religion donne un sens à la souffrance, la transformant de cause de révolution [ou, plus modestement, de protestation] en véhicule de rédemption » (Peter Berger). Après avoir montré comment la stigmatisation des musulmanes voilées est transfigurée en « épreuve » par le discours religieux, nous identifions les usages qu’elles font de ce thème et les raisons pour lesquelles elles peuvent s’y retrouver.

Published: March 2019

Background:Many nurses working in hospitals are not prepared to provide appropriate care for older people. This qualitative study aimed to identify factors influencing the development of gerontological nursing competence in Iranian hospitals.Method:Twenty-six participants (nine nurses, 12 nurse managers, four clinical instructors, one physician) who worked in four teaching hospitals and nursing schools were interviewed by semistructured interview method. Conventional content analysis was used.Results:Two main categories emerged from the data: (a) management factors with the subcategories of meritocracy in elderly nursing, leadership style of nursing managers, educational system, the quality of working life, and performance management; (b) organizational factors with the subcategories of organizational learning, and organizational support.Conclusion:These findings can help nurse managers and clinical instructors identify, develop, and implement strategies for further development of gerontological nursing competence.[J Contin Educ Nurs.2019;50(3):127–133.]
“The Frailty of Everything”
Authors: Ladefoged Jane 
Published: March 2019

In Cormac McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic novel The Road, a man and boy roam a desolate, grey landscape. They are witnesses of an unknown catastrophe, forced to inhabit the remnants of a world once known. The man and boy are rooted in different pasts, and the paper examines the differences between the two characters with particular focus on language, memory and meaning in the post-apocalyptic world. The boy and man are significant for understanding the interconnections between past and present, but the novel in its entirety is also a necessary and inevitable component in understanding the paradox of language and memory. The paper argues that The Road, in its encounter with readers, becomes an ironic work, because readers subconsciously induce their own memory, experiences and connotations to make sense of the post-apocalyptic world, although the post-apocalyptic world is foreign and in many ways incompatible with the world that readers know.
Les fondements anthropologiques des droits de l’Homme
Authors: Rouland Norbert 
Published: March 2019

L’article traite des apports possibles de l’anthropologie juridique à la théorie des droits de l’homme. L’auteur situe ces derniers face à la crise de la modernité : remise en cause du rôle de l’État comme producteur et garant des D.H.; contestation du caractère universel des D.H. au nom de la diversité culturelle. La démarche anthropologique, axée sur la recherche d’une théorie unitaire du droit, sur le comportement réel des acteurs et sur l’acceptation du pluralisme, semble propre à jeter un éclairage utile sur ces questions, en s’interrogeant sur les représentations qui sont à la base des diverses conceptions des D.H.Les nouvelles orientations du droit international et la reconnaissance croissante des droits des peuples autochtones appellent une redéfinition du contenu et de la portée des D.H. qui tiendrait compte à la fois d’un noyau intangible de droits, fondés sur des valeurs communes à tous les patrimoines culturels et systèmes sociaux, ainsi que de la dimension culturelle et collective des D.H.
Regulating G protein-coupled receptors by topological inversion
Authors: Denard Bray , Han Sungwon , Kim JungYeon , Ross Elliott M , Ye Jin 
Published: March 2019

G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are a family of proteins containing seven transmembrane helices, with the N- and C-terminus of the protein located at the extracellular space and cytosol, respectively. Here, we report that ceramide or related sphingolipids might invert the topology of many GPCRs that contain a GXXXN motif in their first transmembrane helix. The functional significance of this topological regulation is illustrated by the CCR5 chemokine receptor. In the absence of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), CCR5 adopts a topology consistent with that of GPCR, allowing mouse peritoneal macrophages to migrate toward its ligand CCL5. LPS stimulation results in increased production of dihydroceramide, which inverts the topology of CCR5, preventing macrophages from migrating toward CCL5. These results suggest that GPCRs may not always adopt the same topology and can be regulated through topological inversion.Editorial note: This article has been through an editorial process in which the authors decide how to respond to the issues raised during peer review. The Reviewing Editor's assessment is that major issues remain unresolved (<xref ref-type="decision-letter" rid="SA1">see decision letter</xref>).
