Dynamiques dans la gouvernance locale en Inde : le cas des tanks dans la région de Pondichéry
Authors: Richard-Ferroudji Audrey 
Published: September 2019

Ce texte analyse la mise en oeuvre de principes de « bonne gouvernance » en Inde en questionnant la gestion participative de retenues d’eau (tanks) dans la région de Pondichéry. En effet, la gestion de l’eau constitue un prisme intéressant pour comprendre la transformation des systèmes locaux de gouvernance et, en particulier, les repositionnements et résistances des élites traditionnelles. L’analyse s’appuie sur un suivi de terrain de quatre ans, basé à Pondichéry (2013-2017). L’opportunité d’un nouveau programme promouvant la mise en place d’une gestion participative des retenues, d’une part, et l’organisation d’un festival de l’eau, d’autre part, ont permis d’étudier les positionnements des personnes et institutions impliquées ainsi que les accords, les désaccords et les modes de coordination à propos de l’entretien et de la réhabilitation des tanks. Nous constatons une résistance des élites traditionnelles, qui participent à un système clientéliste impliquant des élus en collusion avec des agents de l’administration et des entrepreneurs. Cependant, des médiations alternatives se développent. Elles impliquent des associations et des membres de l’administration au sein d’une coalition élargie qui fait valoir d’autres points de vue sur la gestion des tanks. La « gouvernance horizontale » qu’ils promeuvent échoue toutefois à enrôler plus largement.

A feeding trail was conducted to determine the effect of garlic supplementation (0,1.5,3.0 and 4.5%) in the diet of 240 day old cockerel chicks on growth performance, economy of production, nutrients digestibility, hematological and serum indices, four treatments with 3 replicates each of 20 birds each were adopted in a complete randomized design. The four diets used were almost isocaloric and isonitrogenous,while data collected were subjected to ANOVA. The diets had comparable levels of nutrients, initial body weight (90.0 g), daily weight gain per bird (6.02 ± 0.39 g), and fuel conversion ratio (5.43 ± 0.5 g), while the daily fuel intake per board was significantly (P<0.05) varied and least at 4.5% inclusion level, with corresponding highest (#25,489) profitability and best (P<0.05) digestibility of crude protein, NFE and ether extract. Highest (P<0.05) PCV, Hb, RBC, WBC and lymphocyte was obtained at 4.5% level of inclusion, with corresponding high level of plateles and significantly (P<0.05) depressed urea (3.13 g/dl). The use of garlic in cockerel chicks’ nutrition up to 4.5% is beneficial, for the enhancement of growth, digestibility wellbeing and profitability.

AbstractFlexible photofuel cells (PFCs) have triggered strong scientific interest as promising emerging energy conversion devices for clean power generation due to their potential advantages in low‐cost, simple fabrication, room‐temperature operation, and high conversion efficiency, etc. However, how to enable a PFC with excellent structural flexibility and robustness, and meanwhile with sufficient fuel fed onto electrodes and therefore high power generation remains a significant challenge. Herein, a high‐performance coaxial cable‐shaped PFC device is successfully designed and integrated by employing wet‐spun graphene fiber as the inner cathode, TiO2 nanoparticle‐intercalated graphene spring as the outer photoanode, and a robust polymer gel coated in‐between as the electrolyte separator. The as‐fabricated fiber‐shaped PFC demonstrates effective adsorption of fuel, essential light penetration, and rapid electron/ion transport. Importantly, the fiber cells are sensitive to methane‐based mine gas under sunlight, exhibiting a photocurrent density nearly three orders of magnitude higher than that in air, and excellent and reliable photovoltaic performance with a maximum power density of 0.04 W cm−2 at 0.35 V. This work has shed light not only in using cheap mine gas for efficient power generation, but also on new strategies for design and fabrication of high‐performance PFCs in flexible electronic devices.

Published: September 2019

AbstractModern microelectronic systems and their components are essentially 3D devices that have become smaller and lighter in order to improve performance and reduce costs. To maintain this trend, novel materials and technologies are required that provide more structural freedom in 3D over conventional microelectronics, as well as easier parallel fabrication routes while maintaining compatability with existing manufacturing methods. Self‐assembly of initially planar membranes into complex 3D architectures offers a wealth of opportunities to accommodate thin‐film microelectronic functionalities in devices and systems possessing improved performance and higher integration density. Existing work in this field, with a focus on components constructed from 3D self‐assembly, is reviewed, and an outlook on their application potential in tomorrow's microelectronics world is provided.

Published: September 2019

AbstractSemiconductor bonding mediated by a transparent conductive oxide, ZnO, prepared by a simple solution spin‐on process, is presented. The ZnO synthesis, sintering, and bonding processes are realized in a single step, thus providing a highly efficient semiconductor bonding method. The ZnO‐mediated bonds simultaneously exhibit high mechanical stability, electrical conductivity, and optical transparency. The bonding's high tolerance for the roughness of the surfaces to be bonded is also demonstrated, due to the soft, deformable interfacial contact agent that is solidified in the bonding process, in contrast to direct bonding and bonding mediated by solid‐state materials. Furthermore, the fabrication and operation of solar‐cell devices are demonstrated using the developed ZnO‐mediated bonding technique, with current paths across the bonded interfaces, thus verifying the practical applicability of the bonding scheme. The developed ZnO‐mediated bonding scheme leads to low‐cost, high‐performance heterostructured optoelectronic device fabrication and integration.

AbstractAchieving the dynamic control of underwater gas bubbles (UGBs) on smart surfaces has aroused great attention for academic research and industrial applications. To date, developing a kind of stimuli‐responsive porous membrane with asymmetric wettability which can be reversibly switched between Janus and non‐Janus systems, unfortunately, has been rarely demonstrated. Here, a light/temperature‐responsive Janus tapered‐hole arrayed zinc foil (TAZF) is unfolded by combining one‐step laser drilling and a subsequent heating which is successfully utilized for underwater bubble unidirectional transport, that is, bubble “diode.” Moreover, this TAZF can reversibly switch between Janus architecture and double‐faced aerophobic by applying alternative heating and UV dispositions for selectively capturing or repelling bubbles. The underlying mechanism revealed by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy spectrums is that the reversible graft and removal of hydroxyl (OH) on the top surface of TAZF dominates the wettability conversion. The quantitative relationship among the UV and heating time and the water contact angle and the underwater bubble contact angle (UGBCA) is also studied. This work provides insight for designing smart surfaces applicable in fast bubble capture, transportation, collection, and gas/liquid separation.

AbstractIntegrated quantum photonic circuitry is an emerging topic that requires efficient coupling of quantum light sources to waveguides and optical resonators. So far, great effort is devoted to engineering on‐chip systems from 3D crystals such as diamond or gallium arsenide. In this study, room‐temperature coupling is demonstrated of quantum emitters embedded in layered hexagonal boron nitride to an on‐chip aluminum nitride waveguide. 1.35% light coupling efficiency is achieved in the device and transmission of single photons through the waveguide is demonstrated. The results serve as foundation for integrating layered materials to on‐chip components and realizing integrated quantum photonic circuitry.

AbstractRhodium (Rh)‐catalysed [4+2] annulation of aromatic oximes with common terminal alkenes for the synthesis of 3,4‐dihydroisoquinolines is presented. Through the cooperation of a Rh(III) catalyst and a catalytic amount of K2HPO4 base, the reaction enables the formation of two new bonds, a C(sp2)−C(sp3) bond and a C(sp3)−N bond, in a single reaction via functionalization of both the C−H and N−O bonds and provides a practical method to produce 3,4‐dihydroisoquinolines with exquisite selectivity and excellent compatibility of functional groups.magnified image
Photoresponsive Luminescent Polymeric Hydrogels for Reversible Information Encryption and Decryption

Published: September 2019

AbstractConventional luminescent information is usually visible under either ambient or UV light, hampering their potential application in smart confidential information protection. In order to address this challenge, herein, light‐triggered luminescence ON‐OFF switchable hybrid hydrogels are successfully constructed through in situ copolymerization of acrylamide, lanthanide complex, and diarylethene photochromic unit. The open‐close behavior of the diarylethene ring in the polymer could be controlled by UV and visible light irradiation, where the close form of the ring features fluorescence resonance energy transfer with the lanthanide complex. The hydrogel‐based blocks with tunable emission colors are then employed to construct 3D information codes, which can be read out under a 254 nm UV lamp. The exposure to 300 nm UV light leads to the luminescence quenching of the hydrogels, thus erasing the encoded information. Under visible light (>450 nm) irradiation, the luminescence is recovered to make the confidential information readable again. Thus, by simply alternating the exposure to UV and visible lights, the luminescence signals could become invisible and visible reversibly, allowing for reversible multiple information encryption and decryption.

AbstractIbrutinib, a once‐daily oral inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase, is approved in the United States and Europe for treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). The phase 3 RESONATE study showed improved efficacy of single‐agent ibrutinib over ofatumumab in patients with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL, including those with high‐risk features. Here we report the final analysis from RESONATE with median follow‐up on study of 65.3 months (range, 0.3‐71.6) in the ibrutinib arm. Median progression‐free survival (PFS) remained significantly longer for patients randomized to ibrutinib vs ofatumumab (44.1 vs 8.1 months; hazard ratio [HR]: 0.148; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.113‐0.196; P˂.001). The PFS benefit with ibrutinib vs ofatumumab was preserved in the genomic high‐risk population with del(17p), TP53 mutation, del(11q), and/or unmutated IGHV status (median PFS 44.1 vs 8.0 months; HR: 0.110; 95% CI: 0.080‐0.152), which represented 82% of patients. Overall response rate with ibrutinib was 91% (complete response/complete response with incomplete bone marrow recovery, 11%). Overall survival, censored for crossover, was better with ibrutinib than ofatumumab (HR: 0.639; 95% CI: 0.418‐0.975). With up to 71 months (median 41 months) of ibrutinib therapy, the safety profile remained consistent with prior reports; cumulatively, all‐grade (grade ≥3) hypertension and atrial fibrillation occurred in 21% (9%) and 12% (6%) of patients, respectively. Only 16% discontinued ibrutinib because of adverse events (AEs). These long‐term results confirm the robust efficacy of ibrutinib in relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL irrespective of high‐risk clinical or genomic features, with no unexpected AEs. This trial is registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov (NCT01578707).

AbstractObjectivesNutrition during the first 3 years of life is critical to neurodevelopment. Native populations experience poverty, inequality, and food insecurity. Therefore, we analyzed the relationship between feeding during infancy and cognitive performance in schoolchildren of rural indigenous communities in Riobamba, Ecuador.MethodsThirty‐seven schoolchildren (5–6 years) were recruited. We determined duration of exclusive breastfeeding, weaning age, age of cow's milk incorporation, daily intake of cow's milk, age of solid and liquid incorporation, and sociocultural and anthropometric parameters. Verbal, manipulative, and total intelligence quotients were evaluated with Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence.ResultsMeans of verbal, manipulative, and total intelligence quotient scores were 86.46 ± 11.55, 96.39 ± 9.96, and 89.25 ± 10.43, respectively. Children were exclusively breastfed until 6.83 ± 3.97 months and weaned at 17.17 ± 5.58 months. Age of cow's milk incorporation was 12.58 ± 6.06 months, with a daily intake of 737.50 ± 417.50 mL. Solids were incorporated at 10.11 ± 4.43 months and liquids at 7.72 ± 3.30 months. Positive associations between duration of exclusive breastfeeding and manipulative (unadjusted: ρ = .545, P = .006; r = .491, P = .028; adjusted for children's body mass index, and ethnicity and educational level of mothers: r = .522, P = .041) and total (unadjusted: ρ = .483, P = .017; adjusted: r = .572, P = .036) intelligence quotients were found. Frequency of children with manipulative (χ2[2] = 7.093, P = .029) and total (χ2[2] = 7.198, P = .027) intelligence quotient ≥90 was higher in those exclusively breastfed >6 months. Furthermore, schoolchildren in the >6 months group had better manipulative (101.75 ± 9.08 vs 89.71 ± 8.56, P = .038) and total (94.50 ± 11.89 vs 84.86 ± 5.05, P = .036) intelligence quotient than those in the <6 months group, independent of anthropometric and sociocultural factors.ConclusionsLonger exclusive breastfeeding was related to better total intelligence quotient in rural indigenous schoolchildren.
Agricultural wealth better predicts mental wellbeing than market wealth among highly vulnerable households in Haiti: Evidence for the benefits of a multidimensional approach to poverty

Published: September 2019

AbstractObjectivesLack of wealth (poverty) impacts almost every aspect of human biology. Accordingly, many studies include its assessment. In almost all cases, approaches to assessing poverty are based on lack of success within cash economies (eg, lack of income, employment). However, this operationalization deflects attention from alternative forms of poverty that may have the most substantial influence on human wellbeing. We test how a multidimensional measure of poverty that considers agricultural assets expands the explanatory power of the construct of household poverty by associating it with one key aspect of wellbeing: symptoms of mental health.MethodsWe used the case of three highly vulnerable but distinctive communities in Haiti—urban, town with a rural hinterland, and rural. Based on survey responses from adults in 4055 geographically sampled households, linear regression models were used to predict depression and anxiety symptom levels controlling for a wide range of covariates related to detailed measures of material poverty, including cash‐economy and agricultural assets, income, financial stress, and food insecurity.ResultsHousehold assets related to the cash economy were significantly associated with lower (ie, better) depression scores (−0.7, [95% CI: −1.2 to, −0.1]) but unrelated to anxiety scores (−0.3 [95% CI: −0.8 to 0.3]). Agricultural wealth was significantly—and more strongly—associated with both reductions in depression symptoms (−1.4 [95% CI: −2.2 to −0.7]) and anxiety symptoms (−1.8 [95% CI: −2.6 to −1.0]). These associations were consistent across the three sites, except in the fully urban site in Port‐au‐Prince where level of depression symptoms was not significantly associated with household agricultural wealth.ConclusionsStandard measures of poverty based on success in the cash economy can mask important associations between poverty and wellbeing, in this case related to household‐level subsistence capacity and crucial food‐producing household assets.

AbstractHartsfield syndrome is a rare clinical entity characterized by holoprosencephaly and ectrodactyly with the variable feature of cleft lip/palate. In addition to these symptoms patients with Hartsfield syndrome can show developmental delay of variable severity, isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, central diabetes insipidus, vertebral anomalies, eye anomalies, and cardiac malformations. Pathogenic variants in FGFR1 have been described to cause phenotypically different FGFR1‐related disorders such as Hartsfield syndrome, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism with or without anosmia, Jackson–Weiss syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia, Pfeiffer syndrome, and trigonocephaly Type 1. Here, we report three patients with Hartsfield syndrome from two unrelated families. Exome sequencing revealed two siblings harboring a novel de novo heterozygous synonymous variant c.1029G>A, p.Ala343Ala causing a cryptic splice donor site in exon 8 of FGFR1 likely due to gonadal mosaicism in one parent. The third case was a sporadic patient with a novel de novo heterozygous missense variant c.1868A>G, p.(Asp623Gly).

Published: September 2019

BackgroundGrass pollen is the most prevalent sensitizing aeroallergen to cause respiratory allergies in northern China. Air pollutants have a substantial effect on respiratory health and some pollens. This study aimed to investigate relationships among airborne grass pollen, air pollutants and allergic diseases, in order to determine their effects on patients with grass pollen allergies in Beijing, China, during the period from 2013 to 2016.MethodsData regarding autumnal grass pollens and air pollutants measured in Beijing from 2012 to 2016 were obtained from local governmental agencies. Patient data regarding specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) analyses from 2013 to 2016 were obtained from the Department of Allergy in Beijing Tongren Hospital. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was used to assess associations between the daily number of grass pollen allergen–positive patients and the following parameters: 3 clinically‐relevant grass pollen genera (Artemisia, Humulus, and Chenopodium) and inhalable pollutants.ResultsCorrelation analysis indicated that the daily number of grass pollen‐positive patients was significantly associated with the peak period of grass pollens, as well as pollutants SO2 and NOx. Moreover, concentrations of air pollutants (eg, ozone, oxides of nitrogen [NOx], and SO2) were consistently and significantly associated with concentrations of grass pollens; particulate matter 2.5 µm in diameter was negatively associated with Artemisia and Chenopodium pollens.ConclusionGrass pollens exhibited substantial impact on allergic disease morbidity. Air pollutants impacted allergic disease and grass pollen. Thus, public health and clinical approaches to anticipate and reduce allergic disease morbidity from pollen and pollutants are needed.

Published: September 2019

AbstractThe first examples of bi‐ and polynuclear tellurocarbonyl complexes were obtained from the reactions of [W(≡CTe)(CO)2(Tp*)]NEt4 (Tp*=hydrotris(dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) with [MCl(PCy3)]/TlPF6 (M=Cu, Au) or [Au2Cl2(μ‐dppm)], which afford [WM(μ‐CTe)(PCy3)(CO)2(Tp*)] (M=Cu, Au) and [WAu2(μ‐CTe)(μ‐dppm)(CO)2(Tp*)]3(PF6)3. In all cases it is specifically the tellurocarbonyl that assumes a bridging, but in each case distinct, role including examples of isotellurocarbonyl, semi‐bridging and σ–π coordination and combinations thereof. Tetrametallic complexes bridged by C2Te and C2Te2 ligands are also described.
