Arsonolipids, pseudo arsonolipids, arsinolipids and arsonoliposomes: Preparations, biophysical, biochemical and biological aspects
Authors: Ioannou Panayiotis V. 
Published: May 2018

This article describes the preparation of the unnatural arsonolipids 7–9, pseudo arsonolipids 10 and 11, and arsinolipids 12–14 ( Fig. 3 ). Their preparation was motivated by the unique properties of the arsenic compared to phosphorus atom of the –AsO3H2 and >AsO2H groups. It was anticipated that these lipids will show interesting physical, chemical, biochemical and biological properties. Two key points in their preparation have been identified and studied: the preparation of the precursor hydroxy-containing arsonic and arsinic acids and their subsequent acylation to the corresponding arsono- and arsinolipids. The most intensively studied were the arsonolipids 7 which showed quite interesting physical properties forming in water super structures and interacted with carbonic anhydrase and phospholipase A2. They formed arsonoliposomes either in the absence or in the presence of cholesterol and a phospholipid. The latter arsonoliposomes alone, i.e. in the absence of a trapped drug, revealed quite promising selective toxicity against protozoal parasites, various cancer cells in vitro and prostate cancer in vivo.
How the Waltz was Won: Transmutations and the Acquisition of Style in Early English Modern Ballroom Dancing. Part One: Waltzing Under Attack
Authors: Buckland Theresa Jill 
Published: May 2018

This two-part article examines the contested transition in London's fashionable ballrooms from the established Victorian rotary waltz to the modern English waltz of the early 1920s. Existing scholarship on the dance culture of this period and locale has tended to focus on issues of national identity, gender, race, class and the institutionalisation of popular dance practices. Although these are of profound significance and are here integrated into the analysis, this fresh study focuses on the waltz's choreological aspects and relationship to its ballroom companions; on the dance backgrounds and agency of the waltz's most influential practitioners and advocates, and on the fruitful nexus between theatre, clubs, pedagogy, the press and competitions in transforming style and practice towards modern English ballroom dancing as both a social and artistic form.Part One discusses the kinetic problems that waltzing couples encountered in the face of ragtime dances and tango, the impact of World War One on social dance practices in fashionable London and the response of the press and the dance pedagogic profession to the post-war dance craze. Improvisational strategies are considered as contributory factors in the waltz's muted persistence throughout the war while throwing light on how certain social choreomusical practices might lead to the transmutation of dances into newly recognised forms. The persuasive role of London-based leaders such as Philip Richardson, Madame Vandyck and Belle Harding in these early years of modern ballroom dancing is brought to fresh attention. Part One concludes with the dance teachers’ inconclusive attempts during 1920–21 to define and recommend a waltz form compatible with both a discrete choreomusical identity and the stylistic dictates of modern ballroom dancing
Health service use by same-sex attracted Australian women for alcohol and mental health issues: a cross-sectional study
Authors: McNair Ruth , Pennay Amy , Hughes Tonda L , Love Scarlet , Valpied Jodie , Lubman Dan I 
Published: May 2018

BackgroundSame-sex attracted women (SSAW) have higher rates of alcohol and mental health problems than heterosexual women, but utilisation of and satisfaction with treatment is limited.AimThis study investigated the influences on health service use for alcohol and mental health problems among SSAW.Design & settingThe Gelberg-Andersen behavioural model of health service utilisation was used to generate outcome variables.MethodA convenience sample of 521 community-connected Australian SSAW completed an online survey. Health service use according to sexual identity was compared using χ2 analysis. Binary logistic regression examined associations between the independent variables with treatment utilisation.ResultsReports of alcohol treatment were very low. Only 41.1% of participants with service need had utilised mental health and alcohol treatment. Bisexual women (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.76) and those with ‘other’ identities (AOR = 2.38) were more likely to use services than lesbian women. Enablers to service use were having a regular GP (AOR = 3.02); disclosure of sexuality to the GP (AOR = 2.42); lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community-connectedness (AOR = 1.11); and intimate partner violence ([IPV] AOR = 2.51). Social support was associated with a reduction in treatment use (AOR = 0.97). Significant access barriers included not feeling ready for help, and previous negative experiences related to sexual identity.ConclusionDisclosing sexual identity to a regular, trusted GP correlated with improved utilisation of alcohol and mental health treatment for SSAW. The benefits of seeking help for alcohol use, and of accessing LGBT-inclusive GPs to do so, should be promoted to SSAW.
Dark Matter Search in Space: Combined Analysis of Cosmic-Ray Antiproton-to-proton Flux Ratio and Positron Flux Measured by AMS-02
Authors: Feng Jie , Zhang Hong-Hao 
Published: May 2018

Abstract
Dark matter searches in space have been carried out for many years. Measurements of cosmic-ray (CR) photons, charged antiparticles, and neutrinos are useful tools for dark matter indirect searches. The antiparticle energy spectra of CRs have several exciting features, such as the unexpected positron excess at E ∼ 10–500 GeV and the remarkably flattening antiproton/proton at E ∼ 60–450 GeV precisely measured by the AMS-02 experiment, which cannot be explained simultaneously by secondary production in the interstellar medium. In this work, we report a combined analysis of CR antiproton and positron spectra arising from dark matter on the top of a secondary production in a spatial-dependent propagation model. We discuss the systematic uncertainties from the antiproton production cross section using the two latest Monte Carlo generators, i.e., EPOS LHC and QGSJET-II-04m. We compare their results. In the case of EPOS LHC, we find that the dark matter pair annihilating into τ leptons channel with a 100% branching ratio and the p-wave annihilation cross section assumption is the only possible one-channel scenario to explain the data. On the other hand, there is not a single possible channel in the case of QGSJET-II-04m. We also propose possible two-channel scenarios based on these two Monte Carlo generators.
Related Progenitor Models for Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts and Type Ic Superluminous Supernovae

Published: May 2018

Abstract
We model the late evolution and mass loss history of rapidly rotating Wolf–Rayet stars in the mass range 5 M
⊙…100 M
⊙). We find that quasi-chemically homogeneously evolving single stars computed with enhanced mixing retain very little or no helium and are compatible with Type Ic supernovae. The more efficient removal of core angular momentum and the expected smaller compact object mass in our lower-mass models lead to core spins in the range suggested for magnetar-driven superluminous supernovae. Our higher-mass models retain larger specific core angular momenta, expected for long-duration gamma-ray bursts in the collapsar scenario. Due to the absence of a significant He envelope, the rapidly increasing neutrino emission after core helium exhaustion leads to an accelerated contraction of the whole star, inducing a strong spin-up and centrifugally driven mass loss at rates of up to

in the last years to decades before core collapse. Because the angular momentum transport in our lower-mass models enhances the envelope spin-up, they show the largest relative amounts of centrifugally enforced mass loss, i.e., up to 25% of the expected ejecta mass. Our most massive models evolve into the pulsational pair-instability regime. We would thus expect signatures of interaction with a C/O-rich circumstellar medium for Type Ic superluminous supernovae with ejecta masses below ∼10 M
⊙ as well as for the most massive engine-driven explosions with ejecta masses above ∼30 M
⊙. Signs of such interaction should be observable at early epochs of the supernova explosion; they may be related to bumps observed in the light curves of superluminous supernovae, or to the massive circumstellar CO-shell proposed for Type Ic superluminous supernova Gaia16apd.
Cardiovascular (CV) Risk after Initiation of Abatacept versus TNF Inhibitors in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients with and without Baseline CV Disease
Authors: Jin Yinzhu , Kang Eun Ha , Brill Gregory , Desai Rishi J. , Kim Seoyoung C. 
Published: May 2018

Objective.To evaluate the cardiovascular safety of abatacept (ABA) versus tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with and without underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD).Methods.We identified RA patients with and without baseline CVD who initiated ABA or TNFi by using data from 2 large US insurance claims databases: Medicare (2008–2013) and Truven MarketScan (2006–2015). After stratifying by baseline CVD, ABA initiators were 1:1 propensity score (PS) matched to TNFi initiators to control for > 60 baseline covariates. Cox proportional hazards regression estimated the HR and 95% CI for a composite endpoint of CVD including myocardial infarction, stroke/transient ischemic stroke, or coronary revascularization in the PS-matched cohorts. HR from 2 databases were combined through an inverse variance-weighted fixed-effects model.Results.We included 6102 PS-matched pairs of ABA and TNFi initiators from Medicare and 6934 pairs from MarketScan. Of these, 35.3% in Medicare and 14.0% in MarketScan had baseline CVD. HR (95% CI) for composite CVD in the overall ABA group versus TNFi was 0.67 (0.55–0.81) in Medicare and 1.08 (0.83–1.41) in MarketScan with the combined HR of 0.79 (0.67–0.92). Among patients with baseline CVD, the HR (95% CI) was 0.71 (0.55–0.92) in Medicare and 1.02 (0.68–1.51) in MarketScan, with the combined HR of 0.79 (0.64–0.98).Conclusion.In this large cohort of publicly or privately insured patients with RA in the United States, ABA was associated with a 20% reduced risk of CVD versus TNFi. While this observational study is subject to potential residual confounding, our results were consistent in patients with baseline CVD.

Objective.To determine the efficacy of 2 tight control treatment strategies aiming at Simplified Disease Activity Score (SDAI) remission (SDAI ≤ 3.3) compared to 28-joint count Disease Activity Score (DAS28) remission (DAS28 < 2.6) in the prevention of arterial stiffness in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods.This was an open-label study in which 120 patients with early RA were randomized to receive 1 year of tight control treatment. Group 1 (n = 60) aimed to achieve SDAI ≤ 3.3 and Group 2 (n = 60), DAS28 < 2.6. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) were measured at baseline and 12 months. A posthoc analysis was also performed to ascertain whether achieving sustained remission could prevent progression in arterial stiffness.Results.The proportions of patients receiving methotrexate monotherapy were significantly lower in Group 1 throughout the study period. At 12 months, the proportions of patients achieving DAS28 and SDAI remission, and the change in PWV and AIx, were comparable between the 2 groups. In view of the lack of differences between the 2 groups, a posthoc analysis was performed at Month 12, including all 110 patients with PWV, to elucidate the independent predictors associated with the change in PWV. Multivariate analysis revealed that achieving sustained DAS28 remission at months 6, 9, and 12 and a shorter disease duration were independent explanatory variables associated with less progression of PWV.Conclusion.With limited access to biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, treatment efforts toward DAS28 and SDAI remission had similar effects in preventing the progression of arterial stiffness at 1 year. However, achieving sustained DAS28 remission was associated with a significantly greater improvement in PWV. [Clinical Trial registration: Clinicaltrial.govNCT01768923.]
Identification, caractérisation et évaluation des pratiques atypiques de gestion des fumures organiques au Burkina Faso : sources d’innovation ?

Published: May 2018

L’utilisation de fumures organiques dans les systèmes de polyculture-élevage d’Afrique de l’Ouest est essentielle pour leur durabilité et leur productivité. Certains paysans mettent en place des modes de gestion des fumures organiques atypiques. Sont-ils des sources potentielles d’innovation ? Dans l’ouest du Burkina Faso, nous avons repéré différents modes atypiques de gestion des fumures organiques, analysé les logiques d’action des paysans et décrit les savoirs locaux sous-jacents. L’évaluation multicritère des performances des systèmes atypiques, comparées à celles des systèmes dominants nous a permis d’appréhender leur durabilité et d’identifier des modes de gestion des fumures organiques originaux (marchandisation versus diversification de la production). Sans être transposables, ces pratiques atypiques sont source d’enseignements à mobiliser pour la co-conception de modes de gestion des fumures organiques innovants basés sur les connaissances locales.
Utilité clinique du test des associations de Jung
Authors: Guibert Émile , Martin-Tur Justine 
Published: May 2018

Cet article a pour objectif d’analyser l’utilité clinique des expériences d’associations réalisées par Jung et Riklin entre 1904 et 1910. Pour cela, les auteurs ont procédé à la réplication de l’expérience princeps des pionniers sur les sujets sains afin d’en comparer les principaux résultats. Ceux-ci montrent une homogénéité dans la prévalence des associations objectives chez les sujets sains ainsi qu’un pourcentage d’associations constellées par des complexes représentant 36,8 %. La nature érotique des complexes prédomine chez l’ensemble des sujets à l’instar de l’étude initiale. La corrélation forte entre le nombre de réactions constellées et l’allongement du temps de réaction réapparaît dans cette étude (r= 0,93 ; Pearson method ). La réplication réussie permet aux auteurs d’apporter une contribution originale ainsi que des données expérimentales actualisées à la communauté des chercheurs.
Penser le carnaval
Authors: Baldwin Elisabeth 
Published: May 2018

Le roman, La Boutique aux miracles (1969), de Jorge Amado, en est actuellement à sa 41 e édition. Il a été traduit en douze langues, y compris le français. L’une des thématiques les plus importantes de l’œuvre est le racisme et le carnaval bahianais à la fin du xix	e siècle et au début du xx	e siècle, spécialement en ce qui concerne les afoxés . Le fonds de l’écrivain qui se trouve dans la Fondation Maison de Jorge Amado garde, en plus des trois versions dactylographiées de l’ouvrage, une série de documents de l’artiste et de ses amis. Ceux-ci lui procuraient leurs recherches, faites dans des livres et des journaux de l’époque, sur les préjugés et les persécutions contre les manifestations religieuses carnavalesques afro-brésiliennes. Comme l’œuvre La Boutique aux miracles est, par-dessus tout, un essai, l’on peut l’étudier comme l’écrivain, tantôt narrateur tantôt lecteur. Jorge Amado, dans son écriture sur le carnaval bahianais, a mis en rapport la tension qui existe entre la pulsion de documenter et la pulsion de l’écriture, entre le « réel » de l’histoire et l’imaginaire.

De la régulation politique des mondes de l’État providence à celle des mondes professionnels
Authors: Ledoux Clémence 
Published: May 2018

Résumé Cet article analyse les liens indirects existant entre politiques sociales et régulation politique des métiers, en prenant le cas des métiers du care et des services domestiques en France et en Allemagne. Il montre que ces États providence peuvent créer des ressources et des contraintes pour la régulation politique des métiers : alors que trois mondes professionnels étaient identifiables de part et d’autre du Rhin à la fin des années 1970, les débats sur la dépendance, la garde des enfants et les services de proximité s’y sont déployés autrement. Ils ont conduit au choix d’instruments de politiques publiques différents et à des reconfigurations distinctes des mondes professionnels. Les États providence participent donc aux transformations de ces derniers.
Quand les identitaires font la une
Authors: Castelli Gattinara Pietro , Froio Caterina 
Published: May 2018

Résumé Comment des formations d’extrême droite à faible ancrage social parviennent-elles à exister dans les médias ? En étudiant le cas du Bloc identitaire, nous proposons quatre logiques complémentaires : la propriété des enjeux politisés, le choix de répertoire d’action, la création de controverses publiques et l’existence de contre-mobilisations. La recherche combine l’analyse quantitative et qualitative des revendications politiques du Bloc, et un entretien en profondeur. Les résultats montrent que sa visibilité augmente lorsque ses actions portent sur la sécurité et l’immigration et suscitent des contre-mobilisations. Deux stratégies sont fondamentales dans l’interaction avec les journalistes : la personnalisation de la communication des événements protestataires et leur spectacularisation.
Realismo afetivo em Predadores
Authors: Botelho Peixoto Alice 
Published: May 2018

Neste breve estudo, investigamos sobre a expressão do que é denominado realismo afetivo, no romance Predadores, do angolano Pepetela. Primeiramente, percebemos que ao expor as desigualdades da sociedade angolana, Predadores cria, no espaço da literatura, uma democracia literária sobre a qual teoriza Rancière, ao dar espaço as diversas histórias e a personagens de diferentes extratos sociais. Nesse cenário, entendemos que o “realismo afetivo”, teorizado por Schøllhammer (2012), se expressa numa forma de economia descritiva, ou de “redução radical do descritivo”, o que se adequa ao romance analisado. Consideramos que os efeitos sensitivos só são produzidos no romance por essa ser uma obra de verdadeira democracia literária, no sentido dado por Rancière. O encontro de um “efeito de igualdade” que se expressa como um “realismo sensitivo” acontece quando entendemos que estamos diante é um romance de caráter meta-reflexivo. Assim, o estudioso dinamarquês destaca que a reflexibilidade da arte e da literatura no século XX expressa a realidade da própria obra que volta para si mesma e a cisão que existe entre a realidade e sua representação. Não se trata mais de discutir o que é real ou realidade ou verdadeiro, mas do que pode ser experimentado como tal. É isto que o romance do escritor angolano possibilita percebê-lo como uma interface com a realidade.
Entre o ficcional, o real e a história em O dia das calças roladas, de Germano de Almeida

Published: May 2018

Este artigo pretende analisar no romance O dia das calças roladas (1999), e sua relação com um fato ocorridoem Cabo Verde, em 1981, tomado como título da obra de Germano Almeida. O autor permite evidenciar, pelo entrelaçamento de história, memória, ficção e realidade, que a literatura, além de se constituir como um fenômeno estético é também é uma manifestação cultural, uma possibilidade de registro do movimento que o homem realiza na sua historicidade, de seus anseios e visões de mundo, narrados sem compromisso de “fidelidade” com a verdade dos fatos. Para narrar a sua verdade, Germano Almeida mescla a oralidade na escrita, sob o “tom” da ironia e da sátira. Palavras-chave: Literatura africana de língua portuguesa; História; Memória; Realidade; Ficção.
Femmes devant le tribunal du roi : la culture judiciaire des appelantes dans les archives de la juridiction royale de Montréal (1693-1760)
Authors: Deslandres Dominique 
Published: May 2018

Les archives judiciaires de la Nouvelle France révèlent une remarquable présence féminine de tous états et conditions, au civil comme au criminel. Ainsi, pour la seule juridiction royale de Montréal, entre 1693 et 1760, 1259 femmes différentes, mariées ou non, religieuses ou laïques, noires libres ou esclaves, amérindiennes libres ou panisses agissent de leur propre chef dans les 4338 dossiers qui impliquent des femmes (sur 6413 archivés). Elles sont autant sinon plus souvent demanderesses que victimes, témoins ou accusées. Particulièrement intéressante est la présence d’Amérindiennes, de captives anglaises et de Négresses esclaves ou libres, au côté des Françaises de toutes classes sociales. Toutes connaissent leurs droits, savent se défendre et font appel : elles connaissent les voies pour faire entendre leur voix devant la justice du roi.
Une telle agentivité à une époque où la Coutume de Paris réduit la capacité de droit des femmes, surtout les épouses et les mineures, est tout aussi remarquable que guère étudiée. Certes le droit, alors essentiellement patriarcal et régi par les hommes, représente une entrave aux activités judiciaires féminines, mais mon hypothèse principale est qu’il laisse aussi émerger des statuts, outils, procédures et aménagements permettant une représentation féminine solide devant tous les niveaux de la justice. Or, suivre à travers des études de cas l’agentivité des appelantes dans les processus d’appel permet de mettre en lumière à la fois une gamme variée de représentations et de pratiques sociales qui fondent la culture judiciaire féminine et aussi le fonctionnement des procédures d’appel féminin au civil comme au criminel.
