Des pierres phalloïdes par milliers en Éthiopie méridionale
Authors: Goujon Anne-Lise 
Published: February 2019

La question des stèles phalliques érigées sur les contreforts orientaux de la vallée du Rift, dans les régions Sidama, Gedeo et Guji, est approfondie dans cet article. Des fouilles archéologiques dirigées par R. Joussaume suggèrent que ces sites seraient faits de l’accumulation de stèles mémorielles autour d’une tombe initiale. Cette hypothèse peut être discutée, et ce phénomène étudié, au regard de la diversité des sites et des stèles phalloïdes plusieurs fois mentionnées. Une base de données documentant 39 sites à stèles phalliques situés en territoire gedeo sert à examiner ces monuments au travers d’une approche typologique et stylistique. L’étude détaillée de la répartition des singularités régionales révèle un phénomène moins homogène qu’il n’y paraît de prime abord. Elle permet de questionner la variabilité socio-culturelle de cette société ancienne et ouvre de nouvelles perspectives de recherches relatives à la logique d’implantation de ce phénomène mégalithique dans le paysage des contreforts de la vallée du Rift.
Aspects de la vie quotidienne à la cour de Versailles à la fin du xviie siècle à travers deux ensembles céramiques exceptionnels issus des fouilles du Grand Commun
Authors: Ravoire Fabienne 
Published: February 2019

La fouille de la cour du Grand Commun du château de Versailles en 2006 et 2007 par l’INRAP, sous la direction de Jean-Yves Dufour, a permis de mettre au jour les vestiges de plusieurs bâtiments ayant précédé la construction, en 1682, du Grand Commun. Un mobilier archéologique abondant y a été retrouvé, en particulier deux lots de céramiques provenant de deux caves. Dans chacune, une soixantaine de récipients a été dénombrée ; ils ont été retrouvés cassés et très incomplets. En terre cuite, en faïence et en grès, ils nous renseignent sur la vie quotidienne au château, dans le dernier tiers du xviie siècle.
What’s Bred in the Bone: Calcium Channels in Lymphocytes
Authors: Fenninger Franz , Jefferies Wilfred A. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Calcium (Ca2+) is an important second messenger in lymphocytes and is essential in regulating various intracellular pathways that control critical cell functions. Ca2+ channels are located in the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes, facilitating Ca2+ entry into the cytoplasm. Upon Ag receptor stimulation, Ca2+ can enter the lymphocyte via the Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channel found in the plasma membrane. The increase of cytosolic Ca2+ modulates signaling pathways, resulting in the transcription of target genes implicated in differentiation, activation, proliferation, survival, and apoptosis of lymphocytes. Along with Ca2+ release-activated Ca2+ channels, several other channels have been found in the membranes of T and B lymphocytes contributing to key cellular events. Among them are the transient receptor potential channels, the P2X receptors, voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels, and the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor as well as the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptors. In this article, we review the contributions of these channels to mediating Ca2+ currents that drive specific lymphocyte functions.

Published: February 2019

Introduction:
Prostate cancer is most frequently diagnosed cancer of men and bone is the most common site of metastasis. There is a lack of consensus for the selection criteria for bone scan in low-risk patients. Western guidelines do not recommend use of bone scan in asymptomatic patients and in low prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values. We try to correlate the PSA value with bone metastases through bone scan in the Indian population.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 68 histologically newly diagnosed prostate cancer subjected to bone scan were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were stratified into four groups according to their PSA level: The first group of patients had PSA level ranging from 0 to 10 ng/ml (n = 4), the second group had PSA level ranging from 10.1 to 20 ng/ml (n = 13), the third group had PSA levels 20.1–100 ng/ml (n = 23), and the fourth group has PSA >100 (n = 28).

Results:
The incidence of osseous metastases proven by bone scan was found to be zero (0 out of 4) for PSA level 0–10 ng/ml; 38.46% (5 out of 13) for PSA level 10.1–20, 60.87% (14 out of 23) for PSA level 20.1–100 ng/ml, and 100% for PSA >100 (P < 0.005) (95% confidence interval 1.01–1.1). For cut-off value of PSA ≤10 ng/ml, sensitivity and specificity were 100% and 19.05%, respectively, with positive predictive value of 73.44%.

Conclusion:
The correlation between PSA value and presence of metastases confirms the usefulness of bone scan scintigraphy in prostate cancer staging. The screening bone scan at initial diagnosis should be included for all patients with PSA >10 ng/ml in Indian setting.

Published: February 2019

IntroductionLong non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a class of regulatory RNA molecules, are over 200 nucleotides long and could be used as a new potential biomarker, but their detection methods such as qRT-PCR are still not validated, and the influence of RNA degradation on lncRNA quantification is not clear. In this study, commercially available cDNA synthesis kits were tested and the influence of RNA degradation was compared.Material and methodsTotal RNA from FaDu cells was isolated and high quality RNA and highly degraded RNA samples were used. Reverse transcription was performed using three different commercially available kits and quantifications were performed using lncRNA Primer Plate and SYBR Green I Master by LightCycler 96. qRT-PCR was performed using three different cDNA samples and results are presented as the mean Ct values. A p-value < 0.05 was considered to be significant.ResultsLower lncRNA Ct values (61/90; 67.78%) after qRT-PCR quantification were observed for cDNA synthesized using random hexamer primers preceded by polyA-tailing and adaptor-anchoring steps. It was observed that 9/90 (10.00%) lncRNAs were not detectable using different cDNA synthesis methods. For 75/90 (83%) lncRNAs, RNA degradation weakly influenced lncRNA Ct values and no differences were observed between high quality RNA and degraded samples. Seventy percent of examined lncRNAs showed significantly different Ct values depending on RNA degradation.ConclusionscDNA synthesis kits with random hexamer primers preceded by polyA-tailing and adaptor-anchoring steps allows enhancement of lncRNA quantification specificity and sensitivity. In most cases degradation of RNA samples does not affect lncRNA quantification because these molecules have good stability.

Published: February 2019

BackgroundAlthough the literature has predominantly focused on elementary youth, preliminary findings indicate that attentional benefits may arise from adolescent physical activity as well. Limited research has examined the impact of classroom-based physical activity for secondary students, and no research to date has explored bicycle workstations as a means to improve physical activity within the special education classroom.Participants and procedureTwo special education resource classrooms within a high school took part in the research study. Students were given the option of riding on the bike or sitting on chairs in each classroom. Heart rate, calories, miles, time, and on-task behavior data were collected. In addition, student acceptability of bikes was explored.ResultsThe results indicated that the overall mean heart rate during bike riding was significantly higher than the overall mean heart rate when seated on a traditional chair. Also a significant main effect was found for time on calories expended while riding. No significant results were found for miles or on-task behavior.ConclusionsOverall, students enjoyed the use of bicycles during class, found the bicycle workstations to be beneficial to their learning, and appeared to note as many benefits as limitations with the bicycle workstations. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
Can regret prompt compensatory health behaviors? Findings from a clustered randomized trial with physically active adults
Authors: Byrka Katarzyna , Luszczynska Aleksandra , Abraham Charles 
Published: February 2019

BackgroundFailure to resist temptation may make people experience an action-control emotion of regret. We explored whether evoking regret after participants’ failure to attend physical exercise sessions would prompt them to undertake compensatory behaviors of different sorts.Participants and procedurePhysically active men and women (N = 133) were invited to attend a 6-session fitness course. Using cluster randomization, participants were assigned either to the experimental group with a regret-evoking message after they failed to show up at a fitness session (n = 69), or the control group, which did not receive the regret-evoking message (n = 64). After missing any of the first five fitness sessions participants reported whether they had engaged in compensatory health behaviors during the preceding 24 hours. Data were collected at pre-test, post-test, and after each missed fitness session.ResultsLinear mixed-effects analysis showed no effects of the regret manipulation on compensatory behaviors such as physical activity, nutrition, or substance use avoidance. However, the manipulation resulted in lower levels of engagement in socializing behaviors.ConclusionsThe results suggest that people engage in compensatory behaviors after a lapse in physical exercise. Evoked regret may serve to a limited extent as a means to prompt compensatory behaviors.
“They called me a terrorist”: Social and internalized stigma in Latino youth with type 1 diabetes

Published: February 2019

BackgroundDiabetes-related stigma (DRS) globally affects patients’ lives. Over a third of adolescents with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Puerto Rico reported concerns of others knowing about their diabetes and about being different.Participants and procedureWe examined DRS among 65 T1D Latino youth (aged 12-17). During a depression-treatment study screening, they answered open-ended questions about diabetes-related concerns/difficulties and issues bothering them while interacting with peers, family, and healthcare professionals because of T1D. Using content analysis, we classified responses into Social stigma (SS), Internalized stigma (IS), and No stigma. Four SS and IS sub-categories were developed.ResultsAfter coding, inter-rater reliability (Cohen’s κ) ranged from 0.73 to 1.00 (p < .001). Forty-four youth (67.69%) reported at least one DRS verbalization, and 25 reported more than one. Both SS and IS were identified in 32 (49.23%) adolescents. Among SS experiences were: “they call me a junkie [because of insulin shots]”; “they call me a terrorist [because of the insulin pump]”. IS verbalizations included: “I’ve never wanted to accept that I have T1D, so I don’t practice good self-care”; “at times I do not feel the same as others”. We found more stigma-related verbalizations among those from urban zones or larger families. DRS was related to increased depressive symptoms and risk of a depressive disorder. Peers were the main source of SS.ConclusionsDRS was common, pervasive, and linked to depression. This study innovatively examines DRS in an exclusively T1D Latino and adolescent sample. Understanding its extent and nature is essential for developing interventions to address DRS.
Tattoos yesterday and today in the Polish population in the decade 2004–2014
Authors: Jaworska Katarzyna , Fijałkowska Marta , Antoszewski Bogusław 
Published: February 2019

BackgroundThe fashion for tattooing the body is becoming increasingly widespread. It seems that both the structure and role of factors motivating individuals to obtain tattoos have changed in recent years. The objective of this study was to evaluate the hypothesis that factors encouraging tattooing and the meaning of tattoos have evolved, leading to some significant recent changes.Participants and procedureThe participants were individuals of Polish ethnicity aged 16-67 years, having at least one tattoo. The first survey, conducted in 2004, encompassed 100 subjects, while the second one, in 2014, involved 200 subjects. Both groups of respondents answered questions about the functions of tattoos and the factors motivating them to obtain a tattoo, as well as expressing their opinions about individuals with body art.ResultsIn the studied decade we found a rise in the number of tattooed women, with tattoos being primarily perceived as an art form and a way to express one’s personality, aid self-enhancement, and improve one’s sexual attractiveness. Currently, tattooing more seldom serves as a provocation, self-identification, a mark of subculture affiliation, or a way to enhance self-esteem.ConclusionsThe functions of tattooing have been rapidly changing. The use among women causes that the perception of tattooing is changing and becoming less aggressive. The mass media insistently promote the fashion for tattoos, which is why this form of body art is becoming more and more popular.
The Mind&#x92;s Dynamism in Chinese Catholic Theology: A Comparative Study of Metaphysics and Knowledge in the Thought of Wang Yangming and Joseph Maréchal
Authors: Wong Stephanie 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT
As a particular case study of &#x93;world Christianity,&#x94; this article seeks to develop a Chinese Catholic epistemological foundation for the Church&#x92;s theological quest to know God. It is a comparative study of the thought of Neo-Confucian philosopher Wang Yangming (1472&#x96;1529) and the Belgian Jesuit Joseph Maréchal. I demonstrate how both thinkers affirm the subjective contribution of the human mind in any act of knowing while still maintaining that any accurate or moral knowledge participates in a higher order of ontological being. The agreements between Wang&#x92;s Neo-Confucian and Maréchal&#x92;s Transcendental Thomist theories of mind make for a fruitful convergence of the Chinese and Catholic intellectual traditions, from which Chinese theology can contribute to the worldwide Church&#x92;s understanding of God.
Unpacking &#x93;Youth&#x94; and &#x93;Religiosity&#x94; in Being Catholic (2016)
Authors: Castillo Rosa Cordillera A. 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT
This response to Being Catholic in the Contemporary Philippines proceeds in three parts. Part 1 summarizes the contents of Cornelio&#x92;s book, which complicates popular assumptions and academic literature on contemporary Catholicism and, more specifically, religiosity among a segment of Filipino youths. Part 2 explores the book&#x92;s strengths, particularly how it provides a deeper understanding of contemporary Catholicism, religious identity, and the status of religious institutions among youth believers in the urban Philippines. Part 3 is a discussion of some of the book&#x92;s weaknesses, such as methodological limitations, problems with homogenization and generalization, and the need for a more critical appraisal of notions such as &#x93;the youth,&#x94; &#x93;religion,&#x94; &#x93;creative Catholics,&#x94; &#x93;isolated generation,&#x94; and &#x93;emotions.&#x94; I also discuss in the third part how insights from the anthropology of Islam and of Muslim youths, and my ethnography in the Cotabato region, can converse with Cornelio&#x92;s work and complicate &#x93;youth,&#x94; &#x93;religion,&#x94; creativity in/and religiosity, and youths&#x92; political subjectivities.
Learning the Code of Plural
Authors: Maclochlainn Scott 
Published: February 2019

ABSTRACT
Jayeel S. Cornelio explores the practices of the religiously plural within a single denomination, as well as the institutional pushes and pulls that result from this plurality, an overlooked space within the study of religious practice. This response, framed within an overarching theme of religious plurality, briefly engages two points that emerge from the text: (1) institutional formations within Catholicism, and (2) the codes of religious affiliation. It describes how Cornelio explores the dividing lines of institutionality and orthodoxy, on the one hand, and creativity and heterodoxy, on the other, and explores how &#x93;creative Catholics&#x94; engage and constitute new codes of religious plurality in the Philippines.

ABSTRACT
This article is a response to the comments offered by Giovanni Maltese, Peter Bräunlein, Rosa Cordillera A. Castillo, and Scott MacLochlainn on the book Being Catholic in the Contemporary Philippines: Young People Reinterpreting Religion. It addresses several areas including the limits and potential of conducting research on religious identity and the book&#x92;s arguments about reflexive spirituality and individualization. It ends by reflecting on the urgency of assessing religious change in the Philippines, which involves diversification and the rise of militant Christianity.
Structures and Mechanisms of Air-Entraining Quasi-Steady Breaking Ship Waves
Authors: Hendrickson Kelli , Yue Dick K.-P. 
Published: February 2019

The overall objective of this study is to develop a fundamental understanding of the quasi-steady breaking wave regions present in surface ship wakes. Our approach uses direct numerical simulation (DNS) and implicit large eddy simulation. Building on our previous efforts looking at three-dimensional canonical dry transom sterns, we focus on the flow structure, air entrainment, and incompressible highly variable density turbulent characteristics in the wake of a fully submerged lifting body. This article represents the first steps of this study. Here, we perform DNS of the wake of a fully submerged lifting body with constant forward speed. Depending on the geometry and flow conditions, the wake of the submerged body contains a quasi-steady breaking-wave region downstream of the body that entrains air. We show that the simulations accurately predict the force and vortex wake frequency of the submerged body. Lagrangian analysis of the wake shows a frequency of peak entrainment that aligns with the frequency of the vortex wake. Finally, we establish that the power law of the air cavity density spectrum during the peak entrainment periods is predicted by r−10/3, consistent with experiments and theory.

1. Introduction
Air-entraining quasi-steady breaking waves are prominent and highly observable features associated with surface ships and (nearsurface) submarines. They are important to the overall understanding of ship hydrodynamics with significant implications to the design operations of naval vessels. A systematic research effort elucidated many aspects of the complex three-dimensional highly mixed flows for a canonical dry transom stern (Weymouth et al. 2010; Hendrickson et al. 2012, 2016). In particular, we 1) identified wake and flow characteristics and obtained scaling with ship-scale parameters; 2) quantified the volume and scaling of the entrained air in the near wake; 3) characterized nature of the incompressible highly variable density turbulence (IHVDT) in the wake; and 4) developed explicit turbulent mass flux closure models (Hendrickson et al. under review; Hendrickson and Yue under review). Despite recent advances in large-scale state-of-the-art simulations of these flows, there remain fundamental issues and gaps in our knowledge and modeling capabilities. The main challenge of the canonical stern flow is that it contains regional complexity (convergent corner waves, rooster tails, diverging breaking waves) and many concurrent entrainment mechanisms and processes that limit our ability to isolate and address them fundamentally with sufficient numerical resolution.
Blue‐Light‐Absorbing Thin Films Showing Ultralong Room‐Temperature Phosphorescence

Published: February 2019

AbstractThe development of organic materials displaying ultralong room‐temperature phosphorescence (URTP) is a material design‐rich research field with growing interest recently, as the luminescence characteristics have started to become interesting for applications. However, the development of systems performing under aerated conditions remains a formidable challenge. Furthermore, in the vast majority of molecular examples, the respective absorption bands of the compounds are in the near ultraviolet (UV) range, which makes UV excitation sources necessary. Herein, the synthesis and detailed analysis of new luminescent organic metal‐free materials displaying, in addition to conventional fluorescence, phosphorescence with lifetimes up to 700 ms and tailored redshifted absorption bands, allowing for deep blue excitation, are reported. For the most promising targets, their application is demonstrated in the form of organic programmable tags that have been recently developed. These tags make use of reversible activation and deactivation of the URTP by toggling between the presence and absence of molecular oxygen. In this case, the activation can be achieved with visible light excitation, which greatly increases the use case scenarios by making UV sources obsolete.
Trifunctional Self‐Supporting Cobalt‐Embedded Carbon Nanotube Films for ORR, OER, and HER Triggered by Solid Diffusion from Bulk Metal

Published: February 2019

AbstractThe development of robust and efficient trifunctional catalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), oxygen evolution reaction (OER), and hydrogen reaction (HER) is central to regenerative metal–air batteries and overall water splitting. It is still a big challenge to achieve an efficient integration of three functions in one freestanding electrode. Herein, a facile and upscalable strategy is demonstrated, to construct cobalt nanoparticle‐encapsulated 3D conductive films (Co/CNFs), which were induced by in situ solid diffusion from bulk cobalt metal. Under high‐temperature, volatile cobalt species from bulk cobalt foil are trapped by the contacted nitrogen‐rich carbons, followed by catalytic growth of interconnected carbon tubes, forming the 3D structured film. This resulting film can be directly preformed as self‐supporting and binder‐free electrode, which simultaneously facilitates the ORR, OER, and HER with excellent activities and superior stability. Furthermore, such “all‐in‐one” film also exhibits remarkable performance for Zn–air batteries and overall water splitting, demonstrating its feasibility for practical applications.
