Onmyōdō and the Aristocratic Culture of Everyday Life in Heian Japan
Authors: Shigeta Shin.ichi 
Published: September 2018

Dans cet essai, l'auteur critique l'appellation de « religion » dans le cas de l'onmyōdō. Pour étayer son propos, il étudie d'abord l'évolution des « maîtres du Yin et du Yang » à l'époque de Heian, de spécialistes du Bureau du Yin et du Yang (Onmyōryō) aux onmyōji — terme recouvrant un assez large éventail de fonctions. Cette diversification répondait à la demande de rites privés de la part de la noblesse de Heian. Les pratiques divinatoires réservées jusque-là aux grands rituels étatiques passèrent au service privé de la classe nobiliaire. Les nouveaux onmyōji formèrent ainsi le noyau actif de ce qui allait devenir l'onmyōdō.
Mais ce dernier terme n'en recouvre pas pour autant un système unifié, encore moins une « religion » ; il s'agit bien plutôt d'un ensemble hétéroclite de techniques relatives à la divination et de concepts portant sur les interdits de toutes sortes qui régissaient la vie quotidienne de l'époque. En outre, les onmyōji en question étaient bien souvent des bouddhistes et, pour eux, les pratiques regroupées un peu arbitrairement sous le nom d'onmyōdō ne constituaient pas une religion particulière, mais simplement un aspect — certes important — de leur existence.
Dans la seconde partie de l'essai, l'auteur se fonde sur un recueil de lettres compilé par Fujiwara no Akihira (989-1066), l'Unshū shōsoku et en particulier sur une lettre adressée par le gouverneur de la province d'Inaba à un onmyōji qui occupait alors le poste de directeur de l'Onmyōryō. Il s'agit d'une discussion concernant une question précise de topographie, notamment la construction d'un site idéal gardé par les quatre animaux héraldiques qui protégeaient les points cardinaux. La popularité de ces divinités à l'époque de Heian tient sans doute au fait que la nouvelle capitale, Heiankyō, s'inscrivait parfaitement dans cette norme topographique, et elle semble être le produit de l'aristocratie de l'époque. Ce modèle en vint à être reproduit dans les domaines provinciaux. Comme on le voit, les onmyōji de l'époque de Heian remplissaient la même fonction que les maîtres de fengshui (j. fūsui, topomancie) du Japon moderne.
Ils accomplissaient également des exorcismes visant à expulser les démons des maisons abandonnées ou restées vides trop longtemps, comme on peut le voir dans le Shōyūki, le journal de Fujiwara no Sanesuke (957-1046). De nombreux exemples sont également donnés dans des œuvres littéraires comme le Konjaku monogatarishū (Histoires qui sont maintenant du passé). Le rituel pratiqué à cette occasion était le henbai, sorte de piétinement destiné à faire — littéralement — rentrer les mauvais esprits sous terre. Ce rituel se pratiquait également pour vaincre un ennemi, ou encore pour se protéger lors d'un voyage dangereux (mais tous les voyages, à cette époque, étaient dangereux).
Comme on le voit, l'onmyōdō de l'époque de Heian n'était pas tant une religion à part entière qu'un élément de la culture quotidienne, et c'est de ce point de vue qu'il devrait, selon l'auteur, être étudié.
Modernisation des temples bouddhiques et société locale : le Nanzō-in de Sasaguri
Authors: Suzuki Masataka 
Published: September 2018

This paper studies the modernization of a Buddhist temple, Nanzō-in located at Sasaguri town, Fukuoka prefecture in Kyūshū, and its socio-religious relationship with the local society. This temple belongs to the Shingon sect and is the first stop of the 88 pilgrimage sites, fudasho, replicas of the Shikoku Reijyō based upon Kōbō Daishi belief. According to legend, Sasaguri pilgrimage sites had been founded in 1835, and they flourished until the Meiji Restoration in 1868. According to the Meiji government's political order of the separation of Buddhism and deity belief, the socio-religious system of pilgrimage in Sasaguri had radically changed and gradually declined. Local people introduced the new idea of making requests to the headquarters of the Shingon sect located at Mt. Kōya. In 1898, Nanzō-in temple has migrated to Sasaguri and was afforded the supreme status of pilgrimage site. During the Meiji period, Nanzō-in was supported by local society and outsiders, including laborers of the coal-mining industry, so that this temple eventually passed through the process of modernization.
The main topics of this paper are the history of temple, socio-economic background, the change in belief systems, the leadership of the main monk, and the transformation of the relationship between the temple and local society. Nanzō-in temple is a complicated religious site, comprising a main temple, Daishi-dō dedicated to the religious founder, small shrines, a large statue of Fudō-myōō and stone images of numerous bodhisattvas.
We discuss radical changes in the temple's character from the supplication and prayer in this world to the appeasing of dead spirits in the other world. After the construction of the large bronze image of the 'Lying Buddha' in 1995, Nanzō-in transformed itself into a commercial temple and focused on conducting religious services for the storage hall of the bones of the dead, the nōkotsudō. This is a new business for the temple. Nanzō-in encompasses various believers from ascetics to pilgrims and is beginning to align itself with the 'Engaged Buddhism' movement.
This study will highlight the 'invention of tradition' and modernization of Buddhism supported by the local society to establish the function of the temple's social capital. In conclusion, we discuss the negotiation of external and internal society and its inhabitants.
Femmes de Sasaguri : au fond du religieux et à l'ubac du séculier
Authors: Kanda Yoriko 
Published: September 2018

The present article analyzes the narratives by women who are not shown on the center stage of history. Though they are the living witness of the age and the locality, and support the traditions, are not recorded in written documents.
In Sasaguri, there are women who come from the outside, attracted by the religious pole of the sacred places, and obtain there religious powers. Those who come to visit them are not only pilgrims, but also their personal believers. The supreme authority in Sasaguri, the abbot of Nanzō-in, is supported by his wife. She pulled him out to the secular position of "husband", while he remains the religious authority. Another woman born and raised in Sasaguri, the wife of the abbot of Chizuru-ji, is a secular person in supporting her religious husband, but at the same time, being the daughter of parents, both charismatic religious persons, who came to Sasaguri from the outside, she fully inherited their subtle power, and is on the point of making her religious power bloom inside her native town.
Women who lived and worked in the coal mines of Meiji Takata Industry until the beginning of the 1960s were at the same time female workers who had came there from the outside, and central beings of the inside, since they were wives of workers' families. There were also prostitutes who worked there. They constituted the inside of the secular world needed by mine workers, but also the outside of the outside, as discriminated women.
Through the eyes and actions of these women, the article attempts to describe the complex interactions of dynamics between outside and inside, and sacred and secular.
Modeling and Simulation of stochastically deformed Waveguides using Schelkunoff's Method
Authors: Pham Hoang Duc , Ploennigs Soeren , Mathis Wolfgang 
Published: September 2018

Abstract. This paper deals with the propagation of electromagnetic waves in cylindrical
waveguides with irregularly deformed cross-sections. The general theory of
electromagnetic waves is of high interest because of its practical use as a
transmission medium. But only in a few special cases, an analytic solution of
Maxwell's equations and the appropriate boundary conditions can be found
(Spencer, 1951). The coupled-mode theory, also known as Schelkunoff's
method, is a semi-numerical method for computing electromagnetic waves in
hollow and cylindrical waveguides bounded by perfect electric walls
(Saad, 1985). It allows to calculate the transverse field pattern and the
propagation constant. The aim of this paper is to derive the so-called
generalized telegraphist's equations for irregular deformed waveguides.
Subsequently, the method's application will be used on a circular waveguide
as an illustrating example.

Out of court sanctioning and the diminishing role of the judiciary
The Dutch Judiciary has only a very limited role in the imposition of sanctions with traffic offenses. With other minor offenses its role is rather limited and has decreased. There has been a striking shift from the imposition of penal sanctions to sanctions based on administrative law in this area. With major offenses (crimes) the role of the judiciary is still significant and has not diminished over the last 20 years. This despite policy efforts to boost out of court sanctioning.The Judiciary is a fundamental pillar of the rule of law. It offers legal protection, by judging and, if necessary, penalizing violations of norms in a fair trial. In this way not only justice is done with individual cases. Case law has wider implications: confirmation and development of norms and thus general prevention. To fulfil this aim a certain volume of cases and openness of the judgment process is necessary.

The trend in the number of administrative sanctions for minor offences
This paper looks at the number of administrative sanctions for minor offences since 2005. Administrative sanction can be divided into two categories: restorative sanctions and punitive sanctions. Information is limited and dispersed. The number of offences handled by welfare agencies has decreased with 21% in the period 2005-2016. In the same period the number of administrative sanctions for traffic offences imposed by the police/public prosecutor have decreased with 14% (mainly originating from automated traffic cameras). Also administrative sanctions imposed by supervisory financial agencies have decreased with 58%. For some organisations the observation period is a shorter. In the period 2011-2016 the number of administrative sanctions for traffic offences imposed by municipalities has increased with 41% and the number of administrative sanctions imposed by supervisory non-financial agencies have decreased with 47%. There is no information available on administrative sanctions for tax fraud.
Openbare orde, veiligheid en langdurig verblijvende Unieburgers

Openbare orde, veiligheid en langdurig verblijvende Unieburgers
Hoeveel gevaar voor de openbare orde moet een gastlidstaat tolereren van een langdurig gevestigde Unieburger en zijn familie? Artikel 28 Richtlijn 2004/38/EG beoogt aan gevestigden een hogere bescherming tegen uitzetting te geven. Volgens de considerans (overweging 24) moet bescherming tegen verwijdering sterker zijn naarmate de Unieburger en zijn familieleden beter in het gastland geïntegreerd zijn. Als zij vele jaren op het grondgebied van het gastland hebben verbleven, zeker wanneer zij daar geboren zijn en er hun hele leven hebben gewoond, mogen verwijderingsmaatregelen slechts onder uitzonderlijke omstandigheden worden genomen. Artikel 28 heeft geleid tot nogal wat jurisprudentiële verwarring. Van extra bescherming blijkt nauwelijks sprake te zijn.HvJ 17 april 2018, gevoegde zaken C-316/16, B., en C-424/16, Vomero, ECLI:EU:C:2018:256

De reikwijdte van de Dienstenrichtlijn: het arrest Amersfoort en Visser
In het arrest Amersfoort en Visser spreekt het Hof van Justitie zich uit over vier kwesties: de verhouding tussen de Dienstenrichtlijn en het kader van de telecomrichtlijnen, de toepasselijkheid van de Dienstenrichtlijn in zuiver interne situaties, de kwalificatie van detailhandel in goederen als ‘dienst’ in de zin van de Dienstenrichtlijn, en de status van (in elk geval één) bestemmingsplan binnen het kader van de Dienstenrichtlijn. Het Hof van Justitie schept in drie van de vier gevallen duidelijkheid over de afbakening van de werkingssfeer van de richtlijn. In het vierde geval, namelijk de kwalificatie van detailhandel in goederen, levert de uitspraak geen echte verduidelijking op, maar voorziet zij wel in een aantal complicaties.HvJ 30 januari 2018, gevoegde zaken C-360/15 en C-321/15, College van Burgemeester en Wethouders van de gemeente Amersfoort/X BV en Visser Vastgoed Beleggingen BV/Raad van de gemeente Appingedam, ECLI:EU:C:2018:44.

Europese Commissie: ‘Online platforms moeten meer verantwoordelijkheid nemen bij het bestrijden van online illegale content.’
Op 28 september 2017 publiceerde de Europese Commissie een mededeling over de bestrijding van illegale onlinecontent, waarin zij onlineplatforms wijst op hun bijzondere maatschappelijke verantwoordelijkheid met betrekking tot het toegankelijk maken van dergelijke content. De mededeling bevat politieke richtsnoeren en beginselen voor onlineplatforms om de strijd tegen illegale online-inhoud op te voeren. Als aanvulling hierop heeft de Commissie op 1 maart 2018 een aanbeveling gepubliceerd met een reeks operationele maatregelen die moeten worden genomen door internetplatforms en lidstaten. Afhankelijk van het effect van deze maatregelen zal de Commissie bepalen over verdere stappen, waaronder wetgeving. Deze mededeling en aanbeveling lossen de huidige problemen met illegale content echter niet op, maar zorgen voor meer onduidelijkheid en minder transparantie in de strijd tegen online illegale content.Mededeling van de Commissie aan het Europees Parlement, de Raad, het Europees Economisch en Sociaal Comité en het Comité van de Regio’s, ‘De bestrijding van illegale online-inhoud.

Medellín e Teologia da Libertação: muito mais que uma relação histórica
Authors: Brighenti Agenor 
Published: September 2018

Medellín e a Teologia da Libertação têm em comum um contexto social e eclesial marcado por profundas transformações, desafiando os cristãos a se somarem na busca de alternativas à situação de uma sociedade marcada pela injustiça institucionalizada e a exclusão. E tanto Medellín como a Teologia da Libertação foram duas respostas à altura, que dariam muito que falar, que pensar e que fazer. Medellín deu à Igreja na América Latina um rosto próprio, plasmado pelas comunidades eclesiais de base, a leitura popular da Bíblia, por uma Igreja pobre e para os pobres, pela pastoral social e os mártires das causas sociais. A palavra própria lhe foi dada pela Teologia da Libertação, gestada em torno a Medellín, não só “uma nova maneira de fazer teologia” como “uma teologia nova”, a primeira teologia na história da Igreja diferente da única teologia do centro e nascida na periferia. Palavras-chave: Medellín. Teologia. Libertação. Igreja. Sociedade.
A A Compact Bandwidth Enhanced Antenna Loaded with SRR For WLAN/WiMAX/Satellite Applications
Authors: Ali T. , Aw M. S. , Biradar R. C. 
Published: September 2018

A compact bandwidth enhanced antenna using metamaterial single Rectangular Split Ring Resonator (RSRR) for WLAN/WiMAX/Satellite applications is presented. As the wireless modules continue to shrink, there exists a drastic demand for a compact antenna. In addition to this, the effective integration of an antenna in wireless devices acts as stand-alone implement to mitigate the effects of noise fading. The presented antenna consists of three metamaterial single RSRR and a coaxial feed. Compactness in the design is achieved with the help of coaxial feeding technique. The etching of Upper metamaterial single RSRR creates a resonance at 6 GHz (WLAN) band, with S11 < -10 dB bandwidth ranging from 5.46 – 6.7 GHz (1240 MHz). Bandwidth enhancement in the proposed design at 6 GHz, is accomplished by the two metamaterial single RSRR placed at the left and ride side of the radiating patch, just below the upper RSRR. Due to the placement of two lower RSRR the bandwidth of the proposed antenna gets enhanced from 1240 to 3120 MHz. The antenna has a size of only 20 x 18 x 2.54 mm3 . The antenna exhibits bi-directional and Omni-directional radiation characteristics in E and H-plane, respectively. Compact size, good impedance matching, stable radiation pattern and radiation efficiency greater than 95% are observed across the operational bandwidths of the designed antenna. The aforementioned advantages make the proposed antenna suitable for WLAN/WiMAX/Satellite applications.
Ziconotide-induced psychosis: A case report and literature review
Authors: Burdge Gary , Leach Henry , Walsh Kim 
Published: September 2018

Abstract
Ziconotide is an intrathecally administered medication indicated for the treatment of severe chronic pain in patients who are intolerant of or refractory to other treatment options. A black box warning is included in the packaging and states ziconotide is contraindicated in patients with a preexisting history of psychosis. Patients taking ziconotide should be monitored for evidence of cognitive impairment, hallucinations, or changes in mood, and ziconotide should be discontinued if neurological or psychiatric signs and symptoms appear. We present a case of a 49-year-old white male with no previous neuropsychiatric history who received ziconotide for several years before he developed command auditory hallucinations within 24 hours of a dose increase. Upon admission to the emergency room, the patient's pain management physician was contacted and the ziconotide dose was decreased and eventually discontinued. Because of a continuation of symptoms, the patient was transferred from the emergency room to an acute care psychiatric hospital where he was started on risperidone 1 mg orally at bedtime. At discharge, the patient was noted to be in good behavioral control without any hallucinations. The patient was encouraged to follow up with his pain management physician to determine if ziconotide should be reconsidered.

AbstractAmong the novel materials for electronic applications and novel device concepts beyond classical Si‐based CMOS technology, SrTiO3 represents a prototype role model for functional oxide materials: It enables resistive switching, but can also form a 2D electron gas at its interface and thus enables tunable transistors. However, the interplay between charge carriers and defects in SrTiO3 is still under debate. Infrared spectroscopy offers the possibility to characterize structural and electronic properties of SrTiO3 in operando, but is hampered by the diffraction‐limited resolution. To overcome this limitation and obtain nanoscale IR spectra of donor‐doped Sr1‐xLaxTiO3 ceramics, scattering‐type scanning near‐field optical microscopy is applied. By exploiting plasmon–phonon coupling, the local electronic properties of doped SrTiO3 are quantified from a detailed spectroscopic analysis in the spectral range of the near‐field ‘phonon resonance’. Single crystal‐like mobility, an increase in charge carrier density N and an increase in ε∞ at grain boundaries (µ≈ 5.7 cm2 V−1s−1, N = 7.1 × 1019 cm−3, and ε∞ = 7.7) and local defects (µ≈ 5.4 cm2 V−1s−1, N = 1.3 × 1020 cm−3, and ε∞ = 8.8) are found. In future, subsurface quantification of defects and free charge carriers at interfaces and filaments in SrTiO3 can be envisioned.
Enriching Hot Electrons via NIR‐Photon‐Excited Plasmon in WS2@Cu Hybrids for Full‐Spectrum Solar Hydrogen Evolution

Published: September 2018

AbstractFull‐spectrum solar‐light‐activated photocatalysis remains a challenging pursuit for light‐chemical energy conversion, especially the involvement of near‐infrared (NIR) light. To this end, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Cu nanoparticles (NPs) anchored on WS2 nanosheets (NSs) is designed to expand light response over NIR region for broadband‐solar‐activated photoreduction of water to hydrogen (H2). Under the simulated 1 sun irradiation (100 mW cm−2), the optimized WS2@Cu nanohybrid exhibits a stable and remarkable H2‐evolution rate of 64 mmol g−1 h−1, which is about 40 and 2.2 times higher than that of bare WS2 and Cu, respectively. The SPR on Cu NPs enables hot electron excitation and transfer to WS2 NSs, with fast charge separation across Schottky interface, rendering enhanced photocatalytic activity with response extending to NIR region beyond λ > 750 nm. This work describes an avenue of plasmon‐mediated NIR utilization for artificial photosynthesis and solar energy conversion.

AbstractNonconjugated segments in polymer semiconductors have been utilized to improve the processability of semiconducting polymers. Recently, several reports have described the improvement of stretchability of polymer semiconductors by incorporating nonconjugated spacers. However, the effect of relative flexibility of such conjugation breakers on mechanical and electrical properties has not yet been studied systematically. Here, conjugation breakers with different chain length and rigidity are incorporated into the backbone of diketopyrrolopyrrole‐based semiconductors. Interestingly, it is observed that the longer and more flexible conjugation breakers result in greater ductility and lower elastic modulus without significantly affecting mobility. The enhancement of stretchability is attributed to the reduced modulus and the decrease in crystallinity, as confirmed by X‐ray diffraction. With this newly established molecular design, transistors are prepared with a semiconducting polymer containing dodecyl segments as conjugation breakers. It is observed that this polymer retains a mobility of >0.36 cm2 V−1 s−1 at 100% strain, and after 100 cycles at 50% strain. Finally, its high stability against strain is also observed with a fully stretchable transistor fabricated. Taken together, the above results indicate that molecular engineering of conjugated polymers, i.e., by incorporating suitable conjugation breakers, can effectively tune mechanical properties without significantly compromising their electrical properties.
