Pour une véritable taxe sur les transactions financières
Authors: Ekeland Ivar , Rochet Jean-Charles 
Published: July 2019

À la suite de la crise des subprimes , le Parlement européen a demandé en 2010 à la Commission européenne de mettre en œuvre une taxe sur les transactions financières destinées à décourager les opérations financières purement spéculatives. À ce jour, seules la France (2012) et l’Italie (2013) ont instauré une telle taxe. L’expérience française de taxe sur les transactions financières a été étudiée dans plusieurs articles académiques, dont les principaux résultats empiriques sont assez concordants. Toutefois, les recommandations qu’ils en tirent sont assez différentes. Pour essayer de comprendre ces divergences, nous présentons les différents arguments qui s’opposent à la taxe. Nous expliquons ensuite pourquoi nous ne sommes pas convaincus par ceux-ci, puis nous formulons une série de propositions d’extension de la TTF. Ces propositions, si elles étaient adoptées, aboutiraient d’après nous à une véritable TTF, qui pourrait augmenter les recettes fiscales sans avoir beaucoup d’effets négatifs.

Patience, longueur de temps et processus
Authors: Rolland Jean-Claude 
Published: July 2019

Le temps dans le travail de la cure est un et indivisible. Mais ces objets – l’inconscient et les exigences propres au « devenir conscient » lui impriment trois traits sui generis : son rythme fait des « résistances » ; sa lenteur due aux obstacles que lui opposent les forces rationnelles de l’esprit et à la difficulté physique de re-figurer ce qui a été aboli par le refoulement ; la figure de « l’après-coup » selon lequel un événement infantile traumatique doit se réactualiser dans le transfert avant de s’inscrire définitivement dans la mémoire. Laplanche après Lacan a révélé la performance théorico-clinique de ce concept freudien central en le mettant en regard du « refusement », cette posture de l’analyste qui in fine met en branle le processus analytique.
Temps, atemporalité. Inscription et représentation
Authors: Levine Howard 
Published: July 2019

Le temps, dimension réelle de l’univers physique et donnée subjective de la psyché comporte un conflit entre temporalité et atemporalité, au service des objectifs des constructifs ou négatifs, en fonction des liens avec Eros et la pulsion de mort et l’opposition entre principe de réalité et principe de plaisir. La « fabrication » et l’inscription de la temporalité en tant qu’articulation et organisation d’éléments psychiques auparavant non représentés et désorganisés, dans l’acte de représentation, la symbolisation et l’association verbale sont essentielles dans le fonctionnement psychique et dans le processus analytique. Un cas clinique illustrera ces processus et leur lien avec le trauma : interne et externe, massif et cumulatif.

AbstractPallid Sturgeon Scaphirhynchus albus are endemic to the Missouri and Mississippi river basins and are rare throughout their range. The species was listed as federally endangered with little to no evidence of natural recruitment. Since population augmentation was initiated as a recovery objective in the early 1990s, thousands of hatchery-origin Pallid Sturgeon have been stocked in the lower Missouri River (Gavins Point Dam [river kilometer 1,305.1] to the confluence of the Mississippi River [river kilometer 0.0]). Efforts to discriminate natural reproduction and recruitment of wild-origin Pallid Sturgeon from hatchery-origin fish has been hampered by tag loss in hatchery-origin sturgeon, inconsistent documentation of hatchery parental crosses, and the failure to collect tissue samples for genotyping all broodstock. However, the recent reconstruction of missing parental genotypes from known hatchery-origin progeny and from cryopreserved milt made it possible to examine Pallid Sturgeon recruitment. Therefore, our objectives were to 1) determine the likelihood that unmarked Pallid Sturgeon captured from the lower Missouri River were the result of natural recruitment and 2) examine the length distribution of wild- and hatchery-origin fish to determine if a difference exists by origin and examine the life-stage distribution. Genetic analysis showed that from 2003 to 2015, 358 “presumptive wild-origin” Pallid Sturgeon were captured in the lower Missouri River and the comparison between the length distributions of wild- and hatchery-origin fish did not provide any additional clarification into potential wild-origin fish. Low recruitment may be due to a small breeding population, high mortality of early life stages, hybridization with Shovelnose Sturgeon Scaphirhynchus platorynchus, or transport of drifting free embryos or larvae into inhospitable habitats. Determining what factors are limiting recruitment is the important next step for the recovery of Pallid Sturgeon in the lower Missouri River.
Public–Private Partnership Wetland Restorations Provide Quality Forage for Waterfowl in Northern New York
Authors: Benson Catherine E. , Carberry Brendan , Langen Tom A. 
Published: July 2019

Abstract
The Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and Wetlands Reserve Program are U.S. federal programs that provide financial and technical assistance to restore wetland habitats on private property, and are important tools for the conservation and management of waterfowl. This study examined whether these wetland restorations successfully restored one important component of waterfowl habitat, the availability of vegetative forage, at sites in the St. Lawrence River valley of New York. We conducted surveys at 47 restored and 18 reference wetlands to characterize the vegetation assemblage in terms of its value as forage for waterfowl. Results suggest that these public–private partnership wetland restorations develop assemblages of wetland vegetation that are similar to reference wetlands. Vegetation assemblage metrics, including estimates of species richness, the richness of species of food value, the Vegetative Forage Quality Index, and the cover of species of food value, did not differ between restored–reference wetland pairs. However, invasive species were common at sites, and we detected a negative association between the cover of invasive species and the Vegetative Forage Quality Index at both restored and reference wetlands. On the basis of these results, we conclude that Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program and Wetland Reserve Program wetland restorations provide quality forage for breeding and migratory waterfowl in this region, but that the presence of invasive vegetation at sites has the potential to decrease the quality of vegetative forage at sites over time.
First record of Euscelidius variegatus (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in eastern North America
Authors: Parent Jean-Philippe , Bittner Lori , Kits Joel H. 
Published: July 2019

AbstractEuscelidius variegatus (Kirschbaum) (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) is a leafhopper known to vector phytoplasmas in cultivated vines (Vitis vinifera Linnaeus (Vitaceae)) of western Europe. Its occurrence has been recorded in western North America more than 60 years ago, but so far not in eastern North America, including Canada. In the last 15 years, three specimens have been found in Ontario near and around vineyards. Here we report the first record of E. variegatus in Canada and eastern North America.
The assessed usefulness of management accounting in Romania and Poland: a comparative contingency-based study
Authors: Almasan Alina , Circa Cristina , Dobroszek Justyna , Zarzycka Ewelina 
Published: July 2019

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how selected contingency factors, such as the company profile and the managers’ profile, impact on the usefulness of management accounting (MA) in two Eastern European countries: Romania and Poland. In order to achieve the objective of the paper, we employed a questionnaire-based survey addressed to managers of randomly selected companies from various industries. Data were processed by means of several statistical tests, as well as classification and regression trees (C&RT) and the results were interpreted in the historical context of the two countries. Our investigation showed that management accounting in both countries is oriented towards providing useful information for budgeting and cost control. There is no interest in preparing and communicating information meant to support strategy implementation. It was also found that the information delivered to management is seldom employed in supporting the decision-making process, where its usefulness is rated as relatively low. The most important predictor variable for the assessment of Polish managers is the origin of the company’s capital, followed by the education of the managers, while in Romania the assessment is mainly influenced by the managers’ function and the origin of capital. The paper contributes to the development of literature in this field by complementing the existing research on MA development in CEE countries, and identifying the internal factors that lead to managers from the two countries perceiving MA usefulness differently.

An automatic fascicle tracking algorithm quantifying gastrocnemius architecture during maximal effort contractions
Authors: Drazan John F. , Hullfish Todd J. , Baxter Josh R. 
Published: July 2019

Background
Ultrasound has become a commonly used imaging modality for making dynamic measurements of muscle structure during functional movements in biomechanical studies. Manual measurements of fascicle length and pennation angle are time intensive which limits the clinical utility of this approach while also limiting sample sizes in research. The purpose of this study was to develop an automatic fascicle tracking program to quantify the length and pennation angle of a muscle fascicle during maximal effort voluntary contractions and to evaluate its repeatability between days and reproducibility between different examiners.

Methods
Five healthy adults performed maximal effort isometric and isokinetic contractions at 30, 120, 210, and 500 degrees per second about their ankle on an isokinetic dynamometer while their medial gastrocnemius muscle was observed using ultrasound. Individual muscle fascicles and the two aponeuroses were identified by the user in the first frame and automatically tracked by the algorithm by three observers on three separate days. Users also made manual measurements of the candidate fascicle for validation. Repeatability within examiners across days and reproducibility across examiners and days were evaluated using intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC). Agreement between manual and automatic tracking was evaluated using the coefficient of multiple correlations (CMC) and root-mean-square error. Supervised automatic tracking, where the program could be reinitialized if poor tracking was observed, was performed on all videos by one examiner to evaluate the performance of automatic tracking in a typical use case. We also compared the performance our program to a preexisting automatic tracking program.

Results
We found both manual and automatic measurements of fascicle length and pennation angle to be strongly repeatable within examiners and strongly reproducible across examiners and days (ICCs > 0.74). There was greater agreement between manual and automatic measurements of fascicle length than pennation angle, however the mean CMC value was found to be strong in both cases (CMC > 0.8). Supervision of automatic tracking showed very strong agreement between manual and automatic measurements of fascicle length and pennation angle (CMC > 0.94). It also had considerably less error relative to the preexisting automatic tracking program.

Conclusions
We have developed a novel automatic fascicle tracking algorithm that quantifies fascicle length and pennation angle of individual muscle fascicles during dynamic contractions during isometric and across a range of isokinetic velocities. We demonstrated that this fascicle tracking algorithm is strongly repeatable and reproducible across different examiners and different days and showed strong agreement with manual measurements, especially when tracking is supervised by the user so that tracking can be reinitialized if poor tracking quality is observed.
Improving clinical refractive results of cataract surgery by machine learning
Authors: Sramka Martin , Slovak Martin , Tuckova Jana , Stodulka Pavel 
Published: July 2019

Aim
To evaluate the potential of the Support Vector Machine Regression model (SVM-RM) and Multilayer Neural Network Ensemble model (MLNN-EM) to improve the intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation for clinical workflow.

Background
Current IOL power calculation methods are limited in their accuracy with the possibility of decreased accuracy especially in eyes with an unusual ocular dimension. In case of an improperly calculated power of the IOL in cataract or refractive lens replacement surgery there is a risk of re-operation or further refractive correction. This may create potential complications and discomfort for the patient.

Methods
A dataset containing information about 2,194 eyes was obtained using data mining process from the Electronic Health Record (EHR) system database of the Gemini Eye Clinic. The dataset was optimized and split into the selection set (used in the design for models and training), and the verification set (used in the evaluation). The set of mean prediction errors (PEs) and the distribution of predicted refractive errors were evaluated for both models and clinical results (CR).

Results
Both models performed significantly better for the majority of the evaluated parameters compared with the CR. There was no significant difference between both evaluated models. In the ±0.50 D PE category both SVM-RM and MLNN-EM were slightly better than the Barrett Universal II formula, which is often presented as the most accurate calculation formula.

Conclusion
In comparison to the current clinical method, both SVM-RM and MLNN-EM have achieved significantly better results in IOL calculations and therefore have a strong potential to improve clinical cataract refractive outcomes.
Conflict of interest explains the size of student evaluation of teaching and learning correlations in multisection studies: a meta-analysis
Authors: Uttl Bob , Cnudde Kelsey , White Carmela A. 
Published: July 2019

We examined the associations between the size of student evaluation of teaching and learning (SET/learning) correlations and presence of several conflicts of interest (COIs) including corporate, administrative, evaluation unit, SET author, and funder interests. Our meta-analyses of SET/learning correlations reported by multisection studies show that researchers with a vested interest in finding large positive SET/learning correlations found, on average, large positive SET/learning correlations. In contrast, researchers with no identifiable COIs found that SET/learning correlations were zero or nearly zero. The largest SET/learning correlations were reported by authors with ties to SET selling corporations. Smaller but still substantial SET/learning correlations were reported by researchers with administrative assignments and by researchers in evaluation units/departments responsible for the administration of SET. Moreover, authors with the most significant COIs were publishing their studies primarily prior to 1981 whereas authors with no or less significant COIs were publishing their studies in 1981 or afterwards. Studies published prior to 1981 reported small but significant (r = .31) SET/learning correlations whereas studies published in 1981 and after reported near zero, non-significant SET/learning correlations (r = .06). The presence of COIs was associated with earlier publication date but also with smaller samples. Finally, whereas corporate, administrative, and evaluation unit authors nearly ceased publishing multisection studies on SET/learning correlations, authors from business and economics departments are now responsible for the substantial portion of newer, larger, and higher quality studies published in 1981 and after.
The role of dispersal for shaping phylogeographical structure of flightless beetles from the Andes
Authors: Muñoz-Tobar Sofia I. , Caterino Michael S. 
Published: July 2019

BackgroundPáramo is a tropical alpine ecosystem present in the northern Andes. Its patchy distribution imposes limits and barriers to specialist inhabitants. We aim to assess the effects of this habitat distribution on divergence across two independently flightless ground beetle lineages, in the generaDyscolusandDercylus.MethodsOne nuclear and one mitochondrial gene from 110 individuals from 10 sites across the two lineages were sequenced and analyzed using a combination of phylogenetics, population genetic analyses, and niche modeling methods.ResultsThe two lineages show different degrees of population subdivision. Low levels of gene flow were found inDyscolus alpinus, where one dominant haplotype is found in four out of the six populations analyzed for both molecular markers. However, complete population isolation was revealed in species of the genusDercylus, where high levels of differentiation exist at species and population level for both genes. Maximum entropy models of species in theDercyluslineage show overlapping distributions. Still, species distributions appear to be restricted to small areas across the Andes.ConclusionEven though both beetle lineages are flightless, the dispersal ability of each beetle lineage appears to influence the genetic diversity across fragmented páramo populations, whereDyscolus alpinusappears to be a better disperser than species in the genusDercylus.

Published: July 2019

Aim: The present study was conducted purposively to measure the economic losses to buffalo owners due to late diagnosis of pregnancy in their milch buffaloes.
Research Design: Ex-post facto and exploratory research design was used.
Place of the Study: Hisar and Jind districts of Murrah buffalo breeding tract in Haryana, India. Data were collected between June 2017 to December 2017.
Methodology: Data were collected through structured interview schedule from 37 buffalo owners who were taking artificial insemination services from State Department of Animal Husbandry and taking their buffaloes for the pregnancy diagnosis after three months of artificial insemination.
Results: The study revealed that the average per day per buffalo loss was found of Rs. 702 in study area. Average loss incurred by respondents per buffalo on feed was Rs. 5918, on labour Rs. 4155, on milk Rs. 13640 and total economic loss was Rs. 3925 due to late diagnosis of pregnancy.
Conclusion: Thus there is need to create awareness among the farmers regarding advantages of timely pregnancy diagnosis in their animals to minimize these losses in order to get maximum revenue from the animals.
Sedimentological and Geochemical Characterization of Surficial Sediment of a Meander Section of Mbaa River at Nneise–Ugiri Community in Imo State of Nigeria

Published: July 2019

Sediment deposition has increased at a meander section of Mbaa river resulting in a drastic reduction of water storage. It has necessitated calls for sand-mining or periodic dredging which could have far-reaching impacts on the aquatic ecosystem, depending on the texture and chemical compositions of the sediment. Therefore, surficial sediments samples were analyzed for textural characteristics, mineralogy and chemical compositions. Grain sizes and mineralogical analysis showed that the sediments were moderately sorted, mesokurtic, near symmetrical - slightly positive skewed, subangular – subrounded medium grained-sands, and consist of about 2.5% feldspar, 2.7% rock fragments, 5.4% hematite and 89% quartz. Mean TOC and pH were 0.39 wt% and 6.48 respectively. Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) analysis results showed general low concentrations of metal elements: mean values of alkali/alkali earth metals ranged from 1.33 - 3.72ppm, transition metals ranged from 0.12 - 23.07ppm; while Pb (a poor metal) was not detected. General low concentrations of metals and TOC; and non-detection of Pb suggest lack of mineralization zones and minimal anthropogenic impacts in the upstream areas. Textural and chemical characteristics and moderate energy of river water flow suggest that human resuspension of the sediment deposit will result in minimal lateral dispersion of sediment in the water column, except during heavy rainfall. Therefore, periodic dredging or sand mining will cause minimal impact on the aquatic ecosystem, especially in the distant downstream areas, whereas within the meander section and nearby areas of the river, it is expected that there will be a significant change in water quality parameters due to the increase in the concentrations of suspended and dissolved compounds.
Superstudio as Super‐Office: The Labour of Radical Design
Authors: Menking William 
Published: July 2019

AbstractKey avant‐garde players are often assumed to be divorced from the reality of practice. In the case of Superstudio, this assumption is wildly inaccurate. William Menking, co‐founder and Editor‐in‐Chief of The Architect's Newspaper and Professor at Pratt Institute, New York, co‐organised the 2003 exhibition ‘Superstudio: Life Without Objects’ with Peter Lang. Here he puts right some myths about the nature of this well‐known but much‐misunderstood Florentine collaborative, setting it in the context of the intellectual and industrial climate of 1960s Italy, and exploring how its approach can inspire those seeking to rethink practice today.
Avant‐Garde Legacies: A Spirited Flâneur

Published: July 2019

AbstractArchitect Perry Kulper, Associate Professor at the University of Michigan, has produced an extensive set of proto‐digital collage‐like images inspired by his avant‐garde forebears of the 1960s–70s. As he explains, the roots of these visual speculations stretch back a further few decades, to the Dada movement of the early 20th century. All have in common a desire to rethink typologies and transform what is possible.
The Function of Utopia
Authors: Lai Jimenez 
Published: July 2019

AbstractWhat is a utopia's function other than as a platform upon which we reflect the reality we already live in? Jimenez Lai, founder of Los Angeles studio Bureau Spectacular, argues that in facilitating criticism, utopias can point the way to solutions for current or future challenges. Drawing parallels between utopian visions in literature and the cartoon caricatures of modern journalism, he presents a series of utopic graphic novels that he has produced which explore issues from hyper density to zero gravity.
Behind the Wheel: Charles Darwin and Superstudio Do the Driving
Authors: Dunn Sarah , Felsen Martin 
Published: July 2019

AbstractSarah Dunn and Martin Felsen, partners in Chicago‐based practice UrbanLab, are inspired by the Japanese Metabolists, Charles Darwin's work on Ascension Island and the legacy of Superstudio. Their aim is to reinvigorate Superstudio's notion of positing alternative models of life on earth. Using this concept, they have been able to design urban landscapes that utilise the same flexible evolutionary strategies for a modern, digital and ecologically sensitive world. Here they illustrate their design imperatives with two projects, Filter Island in Chicago and Re‐Encampment in Death Valley, California.
