White-tailed deer browse preference for an invasive shrub, Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), depends on woody species composition
Authors: Wright Gabrielle A. , Juska Ieva , Gorchov David L. 
Published: May 2019

AbstractSelective browsing by abundant, generalist herbivores on preferred species could allow less-preferred invasive species to flourish. We tested such an effect by examining rates at which white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianusZimmermann) consume Amur honeysuckle [Lonicera maackii(Rupr.) Herder], an invasive shrub, relative to native woody species across eight forested sites in southwestern Ohio. We tested three hypotheses: (1) deer prefer to browse onL. maackiiversus other woody plants; (2)L. maackiiis not a preferred source of browse, but is consumed where preferred foods are scarce; and (3)L. maackiiprovides an important food resource for deer in early spring when other foods are scarce. We used counts of browsed and unbrowsed twigs of each species to calculate, for each site, both the proportion of each species’ twigs browsed and the degree to which deer selectively favor each species (“electivity”) during early to mid-growing season. Across the eight sites, electivity ofL. maackiicorrelated with the proportion of its twigs browsed, and both measures were negatively associated with the density ofL. maackiitwigs.Lonicera maackiielectivity was negative at most sites, indicating it is generally not preferred, undermining hypothesis 1. The hypothesis that deer consumeL. maackiiwhen more-preferred foods are depleted was not supported, as there was no negative relationship betweenL. maackiibrowse and the density of twigs of more-preferred species. We found a negative relationship between the proportion ofL. maackiitwigs browsed and the density ofL. maackiiamong sites, which supports the third hypothesis. This finding, combined with seasonal patterns of deer browse onL. maackii, indicates that this invasive shrub is an important source of browse for deer during early spring, regardless of its abundance.

AbstractMinimizing the negative ecological impacts of exotic plant invasions is one goal of land management. Using selective herbicides is one strategy to achieve this goal; however, the unintended consequences of this strategy are not always fully understood. The recently introduced herbicide indaziflam has a mode of action not previously used in non-crop weed management. Thus, there is limited information about the impacts of this active ingredient when applied alone or in combination with other non-crop herbicides. The objective of this research was to evaluate native species tolerance to indaziflam and imazapic applied alone and with other broadleaf herbicides. Replicated field plots were established at two locations in Colorado with a diverse mix of native forbs and grasses. Species richness and abundance were compared between the nontreated control plots and plots where indaziflam and imazapic were applied alone and in combination with picloram and aminocyclopyrachlor. Species richness and abundance did not decrease when indaziflam or imazapic were applied alone; however, species abundance was reduced by treatments containing picloram and aminocyclopyrachlor. Species richness was only impacted at one site 1 yr after treatment (YAT) by these broadleaf herbicides. Decreases in abundance were mainly due to reductions in forbs that resulted in a corresponding increase in grass cover. Our data suggest that indaziflam will control downy brome (Bromus tectorumL.) for multiple years without reduction in perennial species richness or abundance. IfB. tectorumis present with perennial broadleaf weeds requiring the addition of herbicides like picloram or aminocyclopyrachlor, forb abundance could be reduced, and in some cases there could be a temporary reduction in perennial species richness.
MALTHUS AND CHINA
Authors: BASHFORD ALISON 
Published: May 2019

ABSTRACTT. R. Malthus was deeply interested in how his principle of population operated in societies distant to, and different from, his own. In this respect, China served as an intriguing case, already famous in his own time for its large and dense population and the central regulation of a closed economy. Malthus drew on both centuries-old Jesuit material and recent accounts from the Macartney embassy to the Qianlong emperor to assess its past and present food–land–population dynamics. This article explores Malthus's interest in China in the context of British public and private commercial interest in opening its trade, not least interest from his own East India Company. Historiographically, Malthus's China has been critiqued as an early rendition of orientalist demographic transition, posing a dichotomy of East/West fertility and mortality change. In disagreement with this interpretation, this article argues Malthus's key distinction was not East/West but Old World/New World.
Religion and heavy metal music in Indonesia
Authors: James Kieran , Walsh Rex 
Published: May 2019

AbstractWe trace the history of Indonesian Islamic metal bands, including Purgatory, Tengkorak and Kodusa, and the One Finger Movement that revolved around these bands (centred mainly on Jakarta). We look at the differences in symbols, heroes, rituals and values between One Finger Movement bands and the Bandung (Indonesia) secular Death Metal scene. We also study Bandung Death Metal band Saffar, which was known for its Islamic lyrics on its debut album but which has been for a few years in something of a limbo owing to the departure of vocalist and lyricist Parjo. We also look at Saffar's positioning of itself as a ‘secular’ band with Islamic and Anti-Zionist lyrical themes rather than as an Islamic bandper se. This dichotomy can be best explained by the phrase ‘a band of Muslims rather than a Muslim band’. The secular Bandung scene context is a significant explanatory factor here.

Published: May 2019

AbstractThe maintenance of biodiversity in tropical forests is thought to be dependent on fine-scale mechanisms of niche partitioning that allow species to coexist. This study examined whether three species of short-tailed fruit bat that co-occur at a lowland tropical forest site in Costa Rica (Carollia castanea,C. perspicillata,C. sowelli) avoid inter- and intraspecific competition through dietary specialization on species in the genusPiper. First, dietary composition was examined using faecal samples (N = 210), which yielded three main findings: (1) bat species and sexes vary in overall reliance on fruits ofPiper, with a higher percentage of seeds ofPiperdetected in the diets ofC. castanea(98.2%) and females (91.5%); (2) adults and juveniles partition species ofPiperby habitat, with a lower percentage of mid- to late-successional species ofPiperdetected in adults (20.8%); and (3) overall, there is a strong dietary overlap among and within the three species ofCarollia. Second, controlled choice experiments were conducted with individual bats (N = 123) to examine preferences for different species ofPiper. These results indicated few differences inPiperpreference based on bat species, sex, age class or reproductive status, suggesting preference is not the primary mechanism shaping the observed differences in dietary composition. Overall, the dietary composition and preference similarities suggest there is strong competition both among and within the three species ofCarolliafor food resources.
Une vieille affaire ? Les « Pâques de sang » d’Ariel Toaff
Authors: Loriga Sabina 
Published: May 2019

RésuméAvec Pasque di sangue. Ebrei d’Europa e omicidi rituali, le médiéviste Ariel Toaff a proposé à nouveau à l’attention publique la vieille accusation de meurtre rituel contre les juifs. Le livre a suscité des débats nourris et tendus, en Italie d’abord, mais bientôt au-delà : en l’espace de seulement deux mois, plus de cent cinquante articles ont été publiés dans les plus importants journaux italiens, israéliens, américains et même français. À la suite de l’auteur, d’autres protagonistes ont pris la parole : de nombreux historiens, la presse, des maisons d’éditions, des représentants de diverses confessions (juive, catholique, musulmane), des groupes politiques, des commanditaires, l’opinion publique (à travers des pétitions et dans des blogs). L’analyse présentée dans cet article s’emploie à montrer que le débat s’est engagé sur une série de scènes discontinues, désaccordées et superposées, dont il importe de restituer les configurations et les logiques.
La chronique de Jacques ler, une fiction autobiographique. Auteur, auctorialité et autorité au Moyen Âge
Authors: Aurell Jaume 
Published: May 2019

RésuméLa chronique de Jacques Ier d’Aragon, connue d’après la tradition manuscrite comme leLlibre dels fets, est élaborée pendant la seconde moitié du XIIIesiècle à la cour aragonaise. Il s’agit d’un récit à la première personne et en langue catalane, que signe le roi lui-même. Jacques Ier relate ainsi par le menu, à l’aide d’un langage narratif fortement dramatisé, ses propres gestes et ceux de ses chevaliers dans leur lutte contre les musulmans. L’importance du texte dans la mémoire collective des Catalans, tout comme son originalité historiographique et littéraire, poussent l’auteur de l’article à proposer une analyse d’ensemble de son « contenu »et de sa « forme». Jusqu’à quel point leLlibre dels fetsprésente-il une dimension autobiographique au sens actuel de ce « genre littéraire », ou s’agit-il plutôt d’une « fiction autobiographique », dans laquelle le monarque dilue sa paternité littéraire, tout en conservant une autorité plénière en tant qu’auteur. L’analyse interne du processus d’écriture de l’oeuvre nuance sa véritable paternité, que le roi partage avec ses collaborateurs les plus proches. Le roi en est donc l’auctor, le garant, au sens médiéval, mais il n’en est pas l’« auteur »au sens contemporain, ou du moins pas le seul, puisque ce texte a été mis en forme par un ou plusieurs scribes, et qu’il incorpore des textes plus anciens.
Le rire des jésuites
Authors: Havard Gilles 
Published: May 2019

RésuméConsacré à l’étude du mimétisme entre Français et Amérindiens dans la Nouvelle-France desxviie-xviiie siècles, cet article ne s’interroge pas tant sur les échanges, les transferts culturels et les processus d’acculturation qui caractérisent la rencontre – comme en témoigne l’adoption par certains colons de la pratique autochtone du tatouage –, que sur la façon dont les cultures, avec leurs logiques particulières, se révèlent et s’actualisent en toute spontanéité dans des contextes d’interaction exotique. L’attitude du comte de Frontenac qui, lors d’une conférence à Montréal en 1690, danse et chante la guerre un tomahawk à la main parmi ses alliés autochtones, est ainsi moins analysée comme une forme d’indianisation que comme le réflexe d’un homme de Cour passé maître dans l’art de la représentation. La propension des Amérindiens, dans certains contextes de la rencontre, à mimer les manières, les gestes ou l’esthétique des Français, est quant à elle distinguée de l’acculturation à proprement parler, et interprétée comme une forme ritualisée et spontanée d’appréhension de l’autre dans sa différence. Imiter les Français, pour les autochtones, ne reviendrait pas à les parodier mais à les adopter, à établir avec eux, par la médiation du rituel, une relation d’homologie et de connivence. Il ne s’agirait pas, au fond, en les mimant, de reconnaître les Français, mais d’annihiler toute possibilité d’émergence de l’altérité humaine et toute amorce d’histoire.

RésuméDans un livre marquant – Growing public – Peter Lindert propose d’analyser les dépenses publiques de redistribution en examinant l’économie politique des mesures prises dans un large éventail de pays au cours des trois derniers siècles. L’ambition est de rendre compte de l’histoire des politiques sociales, du rythme de leur développement, de leurs variations d’un pays à l’autre et des effets qu’elles ont eus.Par l’éclairage nouveau qu’il apporte sur l’histoire de cet ensemble de transferts – des dépenses d’assistance aux pauvres ou d’éducation jusqu’aux formes actuelles de sécurité sociale –, le livre appelle au débat. Comme l’auteur a construit son enquête sur un modèle dont il dégage les éléments à partir de l’examen minutieux des expériences divergentes des pays d’Europe de l’ouest depuis le XVIIIe siècle, une façon de mettre à l’épreuve sa démarche consiste à se demander si ses conclusions sont tributaires des limites spatiales et temporelles qu’il a retenues.

Barry Jacobs. The Emotional Survival Guide for Caregivers. New York: Guilford Press, 2006.
Authors: Lashewicz Bonnie 
Published: May 2019

RÉSUMÉCet article se veut d'abord un éloge de la façon dont le livre de Barry Jacobs intitulé The Emotional Survival Guide for Caregivers (2006) capture de façon créative la dynamique des familles en rapport avec les soins de santé donnés à quelqu'un qui nous est cher. M. Jacobs crée des soins de santé familiaux hypothétiques à donner à une mère âgée dont le cancer a été récemment diagnostiqué. L'auteur décrit le chemin parcouru par la famille afin de comprendre et de répondre aux besoins en matière de soins, notamment la façon dont les membres de la famille négocient les décisions en rapport avec les soins selon divers styles et points de vue. L'expérience de la famille fournit le cadre de référence pour accompagner les discussions sur les défis présentés par les soins de santé et les questions. Il tire parti de son expérience professionnelle ainsi que de la pratique et de la recherche d'autres personnes en offrant des exemples et des résultats qui élargissent les connaissances sur les points discutés. Le livre comprend aussi, à la fin de chaque chapitre, une section questions et réponses qui permet à l'auteur de traiter des questions sur les soins de santé qui vont au-delà des expériences vécues par la famille hypothétique. Bien que certains sujets, comme la dynamique des sexes en soins de santé, exigent d'être approfondis, The Emotional Survival Guide for Caregivers est, dans l'ensemble, une ressource vivante et concise pour les familles investies dans les soins de santé.
The engineers of human souls & academia
Authors: Healy David 
Published: May 2019

SummaryAims – There has been recent concern about interactions between academia and the pharmaceutical industry. This article seeks to explore the basis for the current sense of crisis. Methods – The approach taken is a historical one, outlining the origins of the crisis. Results – The analysis outlines the roles that brands, patents, and the control of the scientific literature play in the current marketing of psychotropic drugs, and describes the processes of guideline capture and brand fascism. Conclusions – The analysis makes it difficult to see current interactions between industry and academia as anything but bad for academia. One option that might restore some balance would be to restrict scientific meetings and journals to communications that made all relevant scientific data available, excluding exercises that restrict access to data.Declaration of Interest: In recent years I have had consultancies with, or been a chairman or speaker at symposia for, or received support to attend meetings from Astra-Zeneca, and Lundbeck. I have been expert witness for the plaintiff in the past decade in 15 legal actions involving antidepressants and on patent case, and have been consulted on a much greater number of attempted suicide, suicide, and suicide-homicide cases linked to treatment, in which I have offered the view that the treatment was not involved or have declined to give a view.

AbstractObjective:Concussion in children and adolescents is a prevalent problem with implications for subsequent physical, cognitive, behavioral, and psychological functioning, as well as quality of life. While these consequences warrant attention, most concussed children recover well. This study aimed to determine what pre-injury, demographic, and injury-related factors are associated with optimal outcome (“wellness”) after pediatric concussion.Method:A total of 311 children 6–18 years of age with concussion participated in a longitudinal, prospective cohort study. Pre-morbid conditions and acute injury variables, including post-concussive symptoms (PCS) and cognitive screening (Standardized Assessment of Concussion, SAC), were collected in the emergency department, and a neuropsychological assessment was performed at 4 and 12 weeks post-injury. Wellness, defined by the absence of PCS and cognitive inefficiency and the presence of good quality of life, was the main outcome. Stepwise logistic regression was performed using 19 predictor variables.Results:41.5% and 52.2% of participants were classified as being well at 4 and 12 weeks post-injury, respectively. The final model indicated that children who were younger, who sustained sports/recreational injuries (vs. other types), who did not have a history of developmental problems, and who had better acute working memory (SAC concentration score) were significantly more likely to be well.Conclusions:Determining the variables associated with wellness after pediatric concussion has the potential to clarify which children are likely to show optimal recovery. Future work focusing on wellness and concussion should include appropriate control groups and document more extensively pre-injury and injury-related factors that could additionally contribute to wellness.

AbstractA study was conducted at the Louisiana State University Agricultural Center’s H. Rouse Caffey Rice Research Station in 2017 and 2018 to evaluate a prepackaged mixture of clomazone plus pendimethalin applied delayed preemergence (DPRE) or POST within an herbicide residual overlay with saflufenacil, clomazone, or quinclorac. POST applications included penoxsulam or halosulfuron in combination with the second residual application. No differences were observed in barnyardgrass control (92% to 98%) at 14 days after treatment (DAT). At 42 DAT, barnyardgrass treated with clomazone plus pendimethalin in combination with either clomazone or quinclorac at either timing was controlled 95% to 96%. However, when saflufenacil was applied PRE, regardless of the POST herbicide or when saflufenacil was applied POST with halosulfuron, barnyardgrass control was reduced to 78% to 81%, compared with 95% to 96% with the control with all other residual combinations. Yellow nutsedge and rice flatsedge control increased when treated with halosulfuron compared with penoxsulam across all evaluation dates. At 28 and 42 DAT, texasweed treated with saflufenacil PRE, regardless of POST applications, was controlled 83% and 87%, respectively, and this was greater control than provided by clomazone or quinclorac applied PRE regardless of POST herbicide program.
Using Data‐Regrouping Methods to Attenuate Shot‐to‐Shot Coherent Interference Noise in Marine Seismic Data

Published: May 2019

AbstractsUnwanted interference noise often causes problems during seismic reflection data acquisition and processing. In this paper we present two novel data‐regrouping methods that enable improved shot‐to‐shot coherent interference noise attenuation in marine seismic data. The two approaches are based on line mixing and/or shot skipping: (1) for a 3‐D marine seismic reflection data acquisition which is typically carried out by shooting closely spaced parallel lines, we propose to mix the shot gathers from two adjacent sail lines to break up shot‐to‐shot coherent noise. This approach takes advantage of the fact that adjacent sail lines are usually acquired with a significant time interval, resulting in different types of noise; (2) for a 2‐D/3‐D acquisition, we propose an algorithm to skip and reorder the original shots to decrease the continuity of the shot‐to‐shot coherent noise. This approach could also supply more aperture data for the first or last shot from both sides, which is beneficial for the coherent noise removal at the edge area. After regrouping the original data, the coherent noise can then be further randomized or isolated by sorting and transforming to other domains, typically the common p‐shot domain where a random noise attenuation tool could be applied to identify and attenuate such noise. Field data examples confirm the effectiveness of the methods.
