Published: February 2019

À l’image de nombreuses grandes villes africaines, Ouagadougou connaît une progression de ses surfaces agricoles. Mais celles-ci sont fortement dépendantes des ressources en eau et en sol. Comment dès lors l’agriculture s’insère et se maintient-elle en ville ? Quel rôle joue-t-elle ? Dans le cadre d’un programme de recherche, nous nous sommes intéressés aux relations qu’entretiennent l’agriculture et la ville de Ouagadougou, en interrogeant le rôle de la première dans l’assainissement de la seconde. Nous avons réalisé des observations et des relevés de terrain sur deux sites de maraîchage, forme d’agriculture urbaine la plus répandue. Nous les avons associés à des entretiens menés auprès de responsables publics et de Ouagalais rencontrés sur les sites. Les premiers résultats montrent que l’agriculture est une activité essentielle pour la ville. Au cœur d’un secteur économique et social important, elle joue aussi un rôle majeur en matière d’assainissement, par la réutilisation des eaux usées et des déchets. Elle participe ainsi fortement au métabolisme urbain et se révèle précurseur en la matière à l’heure où, dans les pays du Nord, on réfléchit à des solutions pour privilégier un fonctionnement en boucle fermée de la ville. À Ouagadougou, ceci ne procède toutefois pas d’une volonté organisée : l’agriculture urbaine est condamnée par les autorités. Celles-ci évoquent les points négatifs, dénonçant les pollutions environnementales engendrées et les problèmes de santé publique, liés à la réutilisation des déchets et des eaux usées. Ces problèmes, bien réels, limitent la portée de ce modèle comme apport de l’agriculture au métabolisme urbain.
Du déchet au Technosol fertile : l’approche circulaire du programme français de recherche SITERRE
Authors: Vidal-Beaudet Laure 
Published: February 2019

Le programme national de recherche (SITERRE, 2011-16) financé par l'Agence française de l'environnement (ADEME) était dédié à la construction de sols avec des déchets urbains pour la végétalisation des villes, en alternative à la consommation de ressources naturelles (terre agricole et granulats de carrière). Les objectifs du programme étaient : (1) exprimer les propriétés optimales attendues des sols pour chaque type d’usage d’espaces végétalisés en termes de fertilité, de capacité de support et d'impacts environnementaux, (2) définir des indicateurs pertinents de la fertilité du sol et la qualité attendue pour les sols construits, (3) proposer des profils de conception de sols construits liés au type d’usages, (4) identifier et signaler les déchets susceptibles d'être adaptés à la construction du sol, (5) évaluer l'évolution des propriétés agronomiques du sol construit in situ, et (6) vérifier la sécurité des mélanges pour l'environnement et la santé des habitants. Les mélanges de déchets organiques et minéraux, conçus et testés pour construire des sols, sont efficaces pour développer des sols fertiles alternatifs avec des propriétés physico-chimiques appropriées pour la production de biomasse. Leur innocuité pour l'environnement et la santé humaine a été vérifiée. Le développement de l'horticulture urbaine passe par la sensibilisation des aménageurs aux spécifications optimales attendues pour les sols urbains et à la façon d'établir une gestion durable de ces sols. La construction de Technosols fertiles proposée par le programme SITERRE doit suivre un protocole précis et fait appel à des expertises. Les résultats du travail, publiés dans un livre (Damas et Coulon, 2016) devraient aider à développer un outil d’aide à la décision pour les gestionnaires de paysage urbain.
Un diagnostic de gouvernance basé sur le discours des acteurs : le cas du littoral marseillais « côté mer » (Marseille, France)
Authors: Ami Dominique , Rouchier Juliette , Calandra Stéphane 
Published: February 2019

Nous étudions ici le discours que certains acteurs du littoral marseillais (des usagers, des élus et des gestionnaires) ont de la gouvernance de la zone, en nous penchant en particulier sur l’institution (l’ensemble des règles) telle qu’elle est perçue et comment les divers acteurs sont vus comme plus ou moins légitimes. Nous utilisons pour cela le cadre d’analyse Institutional Analysis and Development construit par Elinor Ostrom pour analyser des entretiens semi-directifs menés en 2013. Nous avons en particulier identifié la description des usages, des acteurs, des conflits et des nuisances, ainsi que la répartition des rôles de définition des règles et d’autorité. Nous notons plusieurs éléments importants : les acteurs partagent un objectif affiché de protection du littoral identifié comme un espace très fréquenté, fragile, entre terre et mer, ils identifient un acteur central légitime (le Parc national des Calanques, pourtant à peine en fonction à l’époque) comme meneur de la gouvernance, et définissent également des usagers extérieurs non légitimes (les touristes, les pollueurs) comme acteurs qui ne partagent pas les objectifs de locaux. Les règles opérationnelles sont relativement peu remises en cause alors qu’il existe une certaine incompréhension et même une confusion pour les règles de choix collectifs et les règles constitutionnelles. Ces dernières, qui permettent de penser la dynamique des institutions semblent avoir disparu depuis la création du Parc national, ce qui signale une gouvernance imparfaite, mais permet aussi d’indiquer un chemin pour l’améliorer.
Pastoral ministry and persons with disabilities: The case of the Apostolic Faith Mission in Zimbabwe
Authors: Sande Nomatter 
Published: February 2019

Background: The Persons with Disability (PWD) are the minority group dehumanized in the church. The subject of disability is complicated because of the impact of the Judeo-Christian teachings. The Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) in Zimbabwe is a leading Pentecostal church with a pastoral ministry theology which emphasises divine healing, miracles, signs and wonders. Thus, the space of PWD and how the PWD either connects or benefits from this Pentecostal heritage is a critical gap in this study.Objectives: The objective of this study was to explore the construction of disability through the practices and processes of the pastoral ministry in the AFM.Method: This study followed qualitative research and used the social model of disability as theoretical framework. The data were collected from 26 participants who are PWD and pastors using in-depth interviews, focus groups and participant observations.Results: The results showed the AFM pastoral practices created invisible barriers that militate against PWD. Thus, the pastoral ‘divine solutions’ and ‘triumphalist messages and teachings’ are ‘prescriptive’ and ineffective in reducing ‘the plight of PWD in Zimbabwe’.Conclusion: The study concludes that the pastoral ministry should be ‘one efficient vehicle’ with which the church can care for and ‘transform persons with disabilities’. Pastors should break the glass ceiling by expecting pastors to minister better and more effectively creating a safe space for persons with disabilities. A caring community should be the nature of both the AFM and the pastoral ministry responsible for meeting the needs of the persons with disabilities.

The aim of this study was to verify the factors associated with the frailty phenotype components among hospitalized elderly patients. This is a cross-sectional and analytical study with 255 elderly patients admitted to the Medical and Surgical Clinic units at a General Hospital of Uberaba-MG. The following instruments were used: Frailty phenotype according to Fried, Scales (Short Geriatric Depression, Katz and Lawton and Brody) and structured questionnaire with socioeconomic and health data. Descriptive, bivariate and logistic regression analyses were performed (p <0.05). The frailty phenotype components with the highest percentages were slow gait speed (40.0%) and self-report of exhaustion and/or fatigue (38.8%). The following associated factors were identified: self-report of exhaustion and/or fatigue [depression indicative (OR: 3.12; CI: 1.695.75)]; decreased muscle strength [advanced age (OR:2.20; CI: 1.40-3.47); absence of partner (OR: 1.86, CI: 1.02-3.39); inability to perform basic (OR: 2.38; CI: 1.27-4.44) and instrumental (OR: 2.53; CI: 1.29-4.97) activities of the daily living]; slow gait speed [women (OR:2.13; CI:1.16-3.92), advanced age (OR:2.90; CI:1.82-4.61), inability to perform instrumental activities of the daily living (OR:2.08; CI:1.14-3.77); and low level of physical activity [advanced age (OR: 1.57; CI: 1.01-2.44)]. The frailty phenotype components were associated with socioeconomic and health variables. The identification of the factors associated to the frailty phenotype components demonstrates the relevance for the development of preventive strategies in order to postpone this condition as well as follow-up actions at this level of service.

“They're lowering the boats! She is lost! She is lost!”: Maritime Disasters and Onomastics in Eugene O'Neill's Early One-Act Plays
Authors: Lucidarme Chloé 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The article examines how O'Neill turned to his memory of the sinking of the Titanic in several of his early one-act plays. Thirst, Warnings, and Fog function as a triptych showing details related to the catastrophe, including the story of expert John J. Knapp, whose name O'Neill gave to the wireless operator in Warnings. Other writings—S.O.S. and In the Zone—take the fear of sinking by German U-boat as context. Ile and Where the Cross Is Made contain multiple references to sea calamities of the late nineteenth and the early twentieth centuries. Finally, some characters (especially Maud Steele in Bread and Butter, two female figures in The Iceman Cometh, and the Mildreds in Recklessness and The Hairy Ape) symbolically wear names inspired by vessels that shipwrecked in 1912, the year of O'Neill's “second birth.”

A arborização urbana pelos benefícios que produz deveria ser considerada como um dos elementos naturais mais importantes que compõem o ecossistema das cidades e imprescindível no planejamento urbano. Objetivou-se com esse estudo quantificar e qualificar a arborização da Avenida Deputado Ulisses Guimarães, no bairro Promorar, zona sul de Teresina-PI. Foram avaliados, porte, fitossanidade, localização e área de crescimento das árvores. Foram registrados 284 indivíduos, pertencentes a 23 espécies, distribuídas em 14 famílias, sendo 52,17% do total das espécies nativas. As espécies que apresentaram maior número de indivíduos foram o Azadirachta indica A. Juss. (nim), Handroanthus chrysotrichus (Mart. ex DC.) Mattos (ipê-amarelo), Mangifera indica L. (mangueira), Terminalia catappa L. (amêndoa), com 33,00, 14,00, 13,00 e 12,00%, respectivamente, do total, indicando muitos indivíduos representados por poucas espécies. Observou-se que os indivíduos amostrados estavam localizados, em sua maioria, na parte central do canteiro. Embora a arborização tenha apresentando boas condições fitossanitárias, e ausência de conflito com a fiação necessita-se de atenção para o percentual de espécies exóticas, a presença de frutíferas e aos conflitos do sistema radicular com o piso, dando enfoque ao planejamento da arborização da avenida, aliada aos padrões indicados na literatura.

PPU, PPA en behandeling met voorrang. Drie mechanismen voor een snellere behandeling van prejudiciële verwijzingen
Het Hof van Justitie behandelt een prejudiciële verwijzing in beginsel volgens de standaardprocedure. Als de zaak noopt tot een snellere afdoening, dan kan echter van deze procedure worden afgeweken. Zo kan de president van het Hof van Justitie op verzoek van de nationale rechter of ambtshalve beslissen de spoed- of de versnelde procedure toe te passen of een prejudiciële verwijzing met voorrang te behandelen. Dit artikel biedt een overzicht van deze afwijkingen van de standaardprocedure.

Een nieuw telecomkader: het Europees wetboek voor elektronische communicatie
Op 17 december 2018 verscheen de nieuwe Richtlijn tot vaststelling van het Europees wetboek voor elektronische communicatie in het Publicatieblad. Op diezelfde dag werd ook de nieuwe Berec-verordening gepubliceerd, die ook op 20 december 2018 in werking trad en rechtstreeks toepasselijk is, dus geen omzetting behoeft in de nationale rechtsorde. Veel is vertrouwd en is alleen in een ander jasje gestoken, maar daarnaast zijn er veel detailaanpassingen waarvan het afwachten is wat die gaan betekenen. Hoe dan ook zal dit nieuwe Europese telecomkader tot aanpassingen in de Nederlandse Telecommunicatiewet leiden. In deze bijdrage wordt ingegaan op de totstandkomingsgeschiedenis van het Europees wetboek en de belangrijkste inhoudelijke wijzigingen voor de praktijk. Ingegaan wordt op de connectiviteitsdoelstelling en het realiseren van zeer snelle vaste en mobiele netwerken, marktregulering, toegangsverplichtingen, universele diensten, eindgebruikersbescherming, nieuwe tariefregulering voor internationaal bellen en het institutioneel kader.Richtlijn (EU) 2018/1972 van het Europees Parlement en de Raad van 11 december 2018 tot vaststelling van het Europees wetboek voor elektronische communicatie, PbEU 2018, L 321/36 (hierna: de richtlijn).
Role of Close Endocervical Margin in Treatment Failure After Cervical Excision for Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Sopracordevole Francesco , Carpini Giovanni Delli , Del Fabro Anna , Serri Matteo , Alessandrini Lara , Buttignol Monica , Canzonieri Vincenzo , Cagnacci Angelo , Ciavattini Andrea 
Published: February 2019

Context.—
A significant negative trend in length of cone excision has been observed in recent years, leading to a higher percentage of positive endocervical excision margin and close (&lt;1 mm) negative endocervical margin cases.

Objective.—
To evaluate the rate of disease persistence and recurrence after cervical excision for cervical intraepithelial neoplasia in relation to a close (&lt;1 mm), negative, or positive endocervical margin.

Design.—
We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of patients with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia having a carbon dioxide laser cervical excision performed by the same operator. We evaluated the rate of positive follow-up in relation to the status of endocervical margin.

Results.—
We found a higher percentage of positivity at follow-up and recurrence rate between 13 and 24 months in patients with positive margin than for patients with negative or close endocervical margin (P = .005 and P = .006, respectively), with no difference between negative and close margin (7.0% versus 8.3%, P = .89, and 1.2% versus 0%, P = .83, respectively).

Conclusions.—
Women with close and negative endocervical margin presented similar risk of positivity at long-term follow-up, disease persistence, and recurrence between 13 and 24 months, so the histopathologic report of a free endocervical margin less than 1 mm should not categorize the patient as being at increased risk of treatment failure. Therefore, the only information that the pathologist should report is the state of the margin (positive or negative), regardless of the negative endocervical margin length.
Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) versus PCR for ancient DNA library amplification
Authors: Richards Stephen M , Mitchell Kieren J , Tobler Raymond , Cooper Alan 
Published: February 2019

Background: Recombinase Polymerase Amplification (RPA) is a relatively new isothermal methodology for amplifying DNA. RPA is similar to traditional PCR in that it produces an amplicon that is defined by the annealing of two opposing oligonucleotide primers. However, while PCR relies on repeated heating and cooling cycles to denature and amplify DNA fragments, RPA is performed at a single moderate temperature and uses enzymatic activity to drive amplification. While RPA is commonly used in field-based monitoring of pathogens, it is unknown whether RPA is a viable alternative to PCR for the amplification of ancient DNA.
Methods: In this study, PCR and RPA were used to amplify shotgun and mitochondrial DNA enriched libraries made from extracts from four ancient bison bone samples. Sequencing data from the amplified libraries were examined for biases in sequence content (read length and GC content), fraction of unique reads mapping to a reference sequence, and mitochondrial polymorphisms detection accuracy.
Results: In comparison to PCR, RPA had a variable effect on sequence content, except in the mitochondrial DNA enriched libraries where RPA consistently reduced mean read length by approximately 30 bp. RPA increased the number of unique shotgun reads that mapped to a cattle nuclear reference by between 9% and 99% versus PCR. In contrast, RPA reduced the fraction of unique mitochondrial DNA enriched reads by > 26%, possibly due to the preferential amplification of small unmappable molecules.Both RPA and PCR data allowed the identification of similar variants in mitochondrial DNA enriched libraries, suggesting that the accuracy of the two amplification methods is comparable. Importantly, RPA was able to generate sequencing libraries at approximately a sixth of the cost of PCR. These results indicate that RPA is a viable alternative to PCR for amplification of shotgun libraries made from ancient DNA but may not be suitable for all ancient DNA applications.
Design of dual and Wideband Rectangular Patch Antenna for C and X Band Applications
Authors: Lakrit S. 
Published: February 2019

In this paper, we resolve two issues of microstrip antennas, which are miniaturization and efficiency behavior. For that, a rectangular patch antenna with 16×18×1.6 mm3 dimensions with dual-band characteristics, was designed, fabricated and characterized. In order to improve the problem of narrow bandwidth in microstrip antennas, we implement in this study the slot technique, allowing us to achieve our purpose. This technique, lead to a good reflection coefficient and VSWR. The characteristics of the fabricated antenna were measured and analyzed by Vector Network Analyzer. The results show two resonance frequencies that define two bandwidths defined by a return loss less than -10 dB and are respectively; 7.47 GHz at a frequency of 400 MHz, and 11.01 GHz at a frequency of 790 MHz. Also, the obtained gain has a good value and it’s very remarkable according to the small size of the structure, with a peak value of 6.1 dB at 12.5 GHz. The small size and good characteristics enlarged the applications domains of our structure, from telecommunications and especially Radar, satellite communications to medical and wireless applications.
Association between education and health outcomes among adults with disabilities: evidence from Shanghai, China
Authors: Ge Tong , Zhang Qi , Lu Jun , Chen Gang , Sun Mei , Li Xiaohong 
Published: February 2019

BackgroundAdults with disabilities often have worse health outcomes than do their peers without disabilities. While education is a key determinant of health, there is little research available on the health disparities across education levels among adults with disabilities in developing countries. We therefore examined the association between health outcomes and education among adults with disabilities in Shanghai, China.MethodsWe used the health examination records of 42,715 adults with disabilities in Shanghai in 2014. Five health outcomes, including two diseases (fatty liver and hemorrhoids) and three risk factors (overweight [body mass index ≥ 24]), high blood glucose, and high blood lipid), were evaluated. Descriptive statistics and Pearson’s chi-square test were used to assess differences in participants’ demographic and disability characteristics. Pearson’s chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were conducted to compare the prevalence of each health outcome among the different education levels. Finally, logistic regression analyses were conducted to explore the association between education and health outcomes after adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics.ResultsPeople with an elementary school or lower degree had the highest prevalence of overweight (52.1%) and high blood glucose (20.8%), but the lowest prevalence of hemorrhoids (18.6%) and fatty liver (38.9%). We observed significant differences in the association between education and health outcomes across disability types. For example, in physically disabled adults, higher education was related to higher odds of hemorrhoids (p< 0.001); however, there were no significant disparities in hemorrhoids across the education levels among adults with intellectual disabilities.DiscussionCompared with people without disabilities, adults with disabilities in Shanghai have relatively poor health. The association between education and health outcomes differed according to the health condition and disability type. To reduce the prevalence rate of overweight and high blood glucose among people with disabilities, tailored health promotion initiatives must be developed for people with lower education levels. In contrast, specific attention should be paid to the prevention of hemorrhoids and fatty liver among more-educated people with disabilities. Our study provides important evidence for targeting educational groups with specific disability types for health promotion and intervention.
