N° 5 – Repérage des thèses traitant de la formation des adultes : étude des âges et des rattachements disciplinaires
Authors: Las Vergnas Olivier , Bury Patrick 
Published: February 2019

Cet article est le cinquième de la rubrique dédiée à la recherche francophone sur la formation des adultes. Il est consacré aux caractéristiques des thèses récentes liées à ce champ. Après avoir complété la liste des 40 thèses soutenues en 2014-2015 (voir article n° 1 de la présente rubrique) par 42 autres soutenues en 2016-2017, il s’intéresse à leur adossement disciplinaire ainsi qu’à l’âge des doctorants. Ce travail confirme d’abord deux constats antérieurs : d’une part le fait qu’il n’est toujours pas possible de définir un contour précis à ce champ via des requêtes bibliométriques en raison du caractère désuet de l’appellation « éducation des adultes » encore employée dans l’indexation, d’autre part son caractère largement multidisciplinaire. Si l’on considère néanmoins que cette liste de thèses fournit une vision d’ensemble du noyau de la thématique, on peut tirer deux autres conclusions. La première concerne la spécificité des pyramides des âges des doctorants et jury (âgés de 18 ans de plus que la médiane de ceux de tous les autres champs de recherche confondus) ; la seconde porte sur les disciplines de rattachement (plus de la moitié en sciences de l’éducation et l’autre moitié très dispersées, avec quelques isolats dans lesquels les jurys sont spécifiques, comme les aspects langagiers). En revanche, les analyses lexicales temporelles se confirment toujours comme étant excessivement difficiles à conduire, au regard de la grande dispersion des centres d’intérêt et des vocabulaires, en lien avec l’absence catastrophique de thésaurus.

Abstract
Long-term survival of adoptively transferred chimeric Ag receptor (CAR) T cells is often limited. Transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) transduced to express CARs could help to overcome this problem as CAR-armed HSCs can continuously deliver CAR+ multicell lineages (e.g., T cells, NK cells). In dependence on the CAR construct, a variable extent of tonic signaling in CAR T cells was reported; thus, effects of CAR-mediated tonic signaling on the hematopoiesis of CAR-armed HSCs is unclear. To assess the effects of tonic signaling, two CAR constructs were established and analyzed 1) a signaling CAR inducing a solid Ag-independent tonic signaling termed CAR-28/ζ and 2) a nonstimulating control CAR construct lacking intracellular signaling domains termed CAR-Stop. Bone marrow cells from immunocompetent mice were isolated, purified for HSC-containing Lin−cKit+ cells or the Lin−cKit+ Sca-1+ subpopulation (Lin−Sca-1+cKit+), and transduced with both CAR constructs. Subsequently, modified bone marrow cells were transferred into irradiated mice, in which they successfully engrafted and differentiated into hematopoietic progenitors. HSCs expressing the CAR-Stop sustained normal hematopoiesis. In contrast, expression of the CAR-28/ζ led to elimination of mature CAR+ T and B cells, suggesting that the CAR-mediated tonic signaling mimics autorecognition via the newly recombined immune receptors in the developing lymphocytes.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease, characterized by loss of tolerance toward self nuclear Ags. Systemic induction of type I IFNs plays a pivotal role in SLE, a major source of type I IFNs being the plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). Several genes have been linked with susceptibility to SLE in genome-wide association studies. We aimed at exploring the role of one such gene, α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 6 (ABHD6), in regulation of IFN-α induction in SLE patients. We discovered a regulatory role of ABHD6 in human pDCs through modulating the local abundance of its substrate, the endocannabinoid 2-arachidonyl glycerol (2-AG), and elucidated a hitherto unknown cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2)–mediated regulatory role of 2-AG on IFN-α induction by pDCs. We also identified an ABHD6High SLE endophenotype wherein reduced local abundance of 2-AG relieves the CB2-mediated steady-state resistive tuning on IFN-α induction by pDCs, thereby contributing to SLE pathogenesis.
Worklife by Occupation Physical Requirements: A Three-State Model
Authors: Rosenbaum David I. , Cushing Mathew J. , Baquet Daniel 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Do workers in more physically demanding jobs have different worklives than those in more sedentary occupations? To answer this question, we link individual data from the Current Population Survey with occupation characteristics from the Occupational Information Network to categorize individuals into three mutually exclusive initial labor market states: inactive, or active in either a more or less physically demanding occupation. A three-state Markov model estimates worklives given transitions across states over time. There is not a significant difference in worklives between the two occupation groups, even when controlling for sex, age and education. Men and women initially in more physically demanding occupations can be expected to work just as long as their counterparts initially in less physically demanding occupations.
A global lake and reservoir volume analysis using a surface water dataset and satellite altimetry

Published: February 2019

Abstract. Lakes and reservoirs are crucial elements of the
hydrological and biochemical cycle and are a valuable resource for
hydropower, domestic and industrial water use, and irrigation. Although their
monitoring is crucial in times of increased pressure on water resources by
both climate change and human interventions, publically available datasets of
lake and reservoir levels and volumes are scarce. Within this study, a time
series of variation in lake and reservoir volume between 1984 and 2015 were
analysed for 137 lakes over all continents by combining the JRC Global
Surface Water (GSW) dataset and the satellite altimetry database DAHITI. The
GSW dataset is a highly accurate surface water dataset at 30 m resolution
compromising the whole L1T Landsat 5, 7 and 8 archive, which allowed for
detailed lake area calculations globally over a very long time period using
Google Earth Engine. Therefore, the estimates in water volume fluctuations
using the GSW dataset are expected to improve compared to current techniques
as they are not constrained by complex and computationally intensive
classification procedures. Lake areas and water levels were combined in a
regression to derive the hypsometry relationship (dh ∕ dA) for all
lakes. Nearly all lakes showed a linear regression, and 42 % of the lakes
showed a strong linear relationship with a R2 > 0.8, an
average R2 of 0.91 and a standard deviation of 0.05. For these lakes and
for lakes with a nearly constant lake area (coefficient of variation
< 0.008), volume variations were calculated. Lakes with a poor
linear relationship were not considered. Reasons for low R2 values were
found to be (1) a nearly constant lake area, (2) winter ice coverage and
(3) a predominant lack of data within the GSW dataset for those lakes. Lake
volume estimates were validated for 18 lakes in the US, Spain, Australia and
Africa using in situ volume time series, and gave an excellent Pearson
correlation coefficient of on average 0.97 with a standard deviation of
0.041, and a normalized RMSE of 7.42 %. These results show a high
potential for measuring lake volume dynamics using a pre-classified GSW
dataset, which easily allows the method to be scaled up to an extensive
global volumetric dataset. This dataset will not only provide a historical
lake and reservoir volume variation record, but will also help to improve our
understanding of the behaviour of lakes and reservoirs and their
representation in (large-scale) hydrological models.
Introduction: Orienting Africana Religious Studies&#x97;East African and Indian Ocean Perspectives
Authors: Premawardhana Devaka 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Presuming that such themes as diaspora and migration pertain to Africana peoples of the Indian Ocean world no less than they do to those of the better-known Atlantic, this special issue opens the study of Africana religions to an expanded geographic range and the insights that come with such an expansion. This introductory essay clarifies the special issue's rationale, sketches the relevant historical and geographic contexts, and proposes three analytic frames through which to assess the interventions made by the contributors. The value and variety of those interventions underscore the importance, if not necessity, of taking a truly global approach to Africana religious studies.
Navigating African Sacred Geography: Shrines for African Sufi Saints and Spirits in India
Authors: Jeychandran Neelima 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
African sacred spaces in India are carved and maintained by mortal beings mostly hailing from the Sidi African-Indian community and from other subaltern communities, and these spaces are perpetually protected by African spirit beings. Thriving as marginal spaces in the overcrowded Indian cities, coastal towns, and villages, these African sacred topographies are continuously reimagined and reinvented by invested stakeholders to suit contemporary purposes. While addressing the complex connections of some of these sacredscapes with the African Indian Ocean slave trade, this paper examines how shrines dedicated to African Sufi saints and spirits keep African memories alive as devotees continue to seek the intercessions of these saints and spectral deities. By studying the spiritual beliefs and practices at these shrines, I discuss how African sacred geography in India prevails as a relational space connected to the Indian Ocean littoral through the intercessory powers of the African saints and spirits.
&#x93;It's All under Christianity&#x94;: Religious Territories in Kenya
Authors: Gez Yonatan N. , Droz Yvan 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article presents key features of Kenyan Christianity's process of Pentecostalization, emphasizing the phenomenon's dual dynamic of homogenization and fragmentation. Against the backdrop of this inherent dynamism, we introduce the religious territory perspective, which we present as actual and discursive arrangements of (il)legitimate religious practice. The borders of these territories are self-fashioned, and may be redrawn from one moment to the next or over long stretches of time. We argue that the demarcation of such religious territories reveals people's unique conception of their religious environment and their own positionality therein. We thus emphasize the intertwining of moral legitimization and actual practice, and the performative aspect of the discursive presentation of such inner religious geographies.
Being in Relation: A Critical Appraisal of Religious Diversity and Mission Encounter in Madagascar
Authors: Spies Eva 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article presents a relational perspective on religious diversity and encounter. It argues that a relational perspective helps overcome notions of religious diversity that tend to be reductionist and rather static because they conceptualize diversity as the many subforms of a single instance or the parts of a whole. Accordingly, the article questions such notions and instead proposes to study the multiple relations in and through which religious actors and settings are constituted. The example of current mission work of a Nigerian Pentecostal church in Madagascar shows how religious actors and communities can be understood as products of continuous relational processes. Mission encounters are no longer viewed as encounters between discrete entities but as specific meshwork. To rethink diversity and mission encounters in relational terms not only takes up ideas of relational being in Madagascar but may also give new impulses to debates on religious exchange in plural contexts.
Filling the Pot: The Remembrance of African Sufi Ancestor-Saints and the Reclamation of African Historical Heritage in Ahmedabad, Gujarat
Authors: Graves Jazmin 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This essay, based on ethnographic research conducted in 2017&#x96;2018, explores the ways in which the death-anniversary celebrations (&#x91;urs) of the Sidi (African-Indian) Sufi ancestor-saints in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, demonstrate the pivotal role of the Sidi Sufi tradition in unifying the diversity of and temporal distinctions between the various waves of the African diaspora in western India.
Polyontologism: When &#x93;Syncretism&#x94; Does Not Suffice
Authors: McIntosh Janet 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article challenges the common assumption that the framework of &#x93;syncretism&#x94; (in terms of hybridity or blending) neatly characterizes pluralist religious practices. My case study from coastal Kenya suggests that in some communities, religious pluralism may preserve discontinuity between loci of religious power, a model I call &#x93;polyontologism.&#x94;
&#x93;A Sword of Wrath, the Executor of Sinister Adventures&#x94;: Domestic Islamophobia and International Black Muslim Solidarities during the Cold War
Authors: Caldwell Will 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
FBI repression of &#x93;Black Muslim&#x94; groups such as the Moorish Science Temple of America and the Nation of Islam emerged from institutionalized forms of Islamophobia preceding the War on Terror. This article examines the broader Cold War policies that criminalized Black conversion to Islam as a treasonous affiliation with &#x93;un-American&#x94; forces.
Juventudes indígenas: entre las marcas étnico-rurarles y nuevas adscripciones urbanas en la Universidad.
Authors: Czarny Krischkautzky Gabriela 
Published: February 2019

El trabajo presenta resultados de investigaciones realizadas sobre y con jóvenes indígenas en un programa conocido como Licenciatura en Educación Indígena (LEI) que funciona en la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPN), Ajusco, en la Ciudad de México. Se problematizan las imágenes arraigadas sobre cómo se conceptualizan, en este caso, a los jóvenes indígenas. Entre estos aspectos se confronta a la noción de migración indígena interna, y las experiencias contemporáneas de estas juventudes quienes para las políticas educativas y diversos sectores de la sociedad son vistos aún bajo la concepción de lo indígena y su base rural, lo que naturaliza identidades marcadas por hablar la lengua indígena, vestir de modo tradicional, entre otras. El texto muestra que todavía permanece el sesgo de la relación rural-urbano como frontera que busca establecer diferencias que se han utilizado para racializar, y al mismo tiempo da cuenta de los complejos y variados procesos socioculturales que viven las juventudes indígenas en una experiencia universitaria.
Transplantation in the treatment of paralysis agitans (Parkinson's disease)
Authors: Fazzini, Enrico 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Over the past 3 years, there has been great interest in transplantation therapy in the treatment of Parkinson's disease. Following the impressive results reported by Madrazo in the spring of 1987, more than 350 cases of adrenal medullary implantation have been performed worldwide. There has been a significant reduction in "off" time and an increase in "on" time without chorea in 40% of patients having this procedure. The duration of effect is 1 year in half of these cases, with the other half (20% of all patients) still demonstrating significant improvement 3 years after the procedure. The mechanism of the bilateral beneficial improvement is unknown. The survival of adrenal medullary tissue has not been demonstrated at autopsy. It is thought that the mechanism of improvement involves either regenerative sprouting of the remaining dopamine producing neurons as a consequence of the release of neurotrophic factors or an interruption of the striatal pallidal output inhibitory influence of the basal ganglia on the thalamus (or both). Fetal mesencephalic implantation has also been attempted in more than 100 cases worldwide. The improvements when seen are not any more dramatic than those following the best results of adrenal medullary implantation. Graft survival has not been proved; it remains a possibility that interruption of the putaminosubthalamic pallidal pathway or a trophic influence of the tissue provides an alleviation in parkinsonism. The ethical controversy, need for long-term immunosuppression, and difficulty with obtaining tissue of the appropriate age and delivering the appropriate quantity to the putamen have made this technique less than adequate. Newer techniques employing genetic engineering, cultures of adrenal medullary tissue, and encapsulated xenografts are being investigated.
Voices From the Future: What students, interns, and residents want from osteopathic graduate medical training
Authors: Kushner David , Cooney Joan 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The need to attract students to-and keep them in-osteopathic internship and residency programs is great. Recognizing this fact, the osteopathic hospitals, through the American Osteopathic Hospital Association, have placed a renewed focus on liaisons with osteopathic medical education. Voices From the Future represents one such effort. This report reveals how osteopathic medical students, interns, and residents perceive the current state of osteopathic graduate medical education programs as well as the changes that they would like to see incorporated.
Suggestions for diagnosing avascular necrosis of the hip in the 1990s
Authors: Grimm Eric Scott , BLend, Michael J. , Anderson Thomas M. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Avascular necrosis of the hip is a serious clinical problem encountered by primary care physicians. It requires early detection for proper management and treatment. The clinician should be aware of the imaging modalities available for evaluation of patients with suspected avascular necrosis. Traditional studies include plain-film radiography, computed tomography, and planar bone scintigraphy. Magnetic resonance imaging and singlephoton emission computed tomography bone scanning have been developed to such an extent that they are now the most sensitive indicators of early avascular necrosis. The authors review currently available imaging modalities and provide a practical approach to the assessment of patients with suspected avascular necrosis of the hip.
Adult respiratory distress syndrome: A review for the clinician
Authors: Hammond Thomas Hooker, Michael P. D. , Salem Allen 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a common respiratory problem with a wide array of precipitating causes and an overall mortality rate of more than 50%. Signs on physical examination tend to be nonspecific as do laboratory findings associated with the syndrome. Because of its diverse etiology, there is no one specific treatment for adult respiratory distress syndrome. Therapy is primarily supportive and centers around the use of mechanical ventilator support. The authors discuss the pathogenesis and management of this syndrome together with some of the newer approaches to mechanical ventilation.
Retained fetal scalp monitoring lead discovered in the wall of the jejunum
Authors: Kimm Kevin A. , Anderson Donald , Schossow Darwin 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The retention of a foreign body following surgery is a longstanding and dreaded problem. We report the retention of a fetal scalp monitoring lead that was embedded in the wall of the patient's jejunum and discovered 2 years after cesarean section. In reviewing the American medical literature, we believe this case is, perhaps, unique. The treatment of this entity is discussed as well as ways to help to prevent it.
The lupus anticoagulant and antiphospholipid antibodies
Authors: Pertusi Raymond M. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Antiphospholipid antibody syndromes are primarily manifested as unexplained thrombotic events. Several antiphospholipid antibodies have been identified, the lupus anticoagulant being the most recognized. Considerable confusion surrounds this "anticoagulant," which is highly correlated with an increased risk of thrombosis. Several assays have been designed for the detection of antiphospholipid antibodies. There are limitations on their efficacy and interpretation requires judgment. Treatment strategies for the clinical manifestations of the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome are being developed. The explosive rise in the volume of literature dedicated to this topic will assure new and improved modalities for evaluation and treatment.
Roentgenographic documentation of atlanto-occipital sidebending
Authors: Goodbridge John P. , Donalson Brinton C. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
It is assumed that the atlas (Cl) glides superiorly and laterally along the occipital (CO) condyle during translatory motion of the head in the opposite direction. To provide roentgenographic documentation, a translatory test of atlantooccipital (CO-Cl) motion was performed to the left and to the right on a healthy, asymptomatic volunteer subject. Roentgenographic examination was made at the extreme in each direction. The films indicate the change in atlantal position relative to the occiput and support the assumption. A translation of the head in the coronal plane to test for atlanto-occipital joint mobility is described.
Empty sella syndrome associated with partial hypopituitarism (visualized on MRI scan)
Authors: C.Serpico Peter , Freeman Jeffrey S. , Marks Burton 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The empty sella syndrome has become a rather frequent finding in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning. The usual presentation of empty sella syndrome involves an incidental finding on a computed tomography scan or an MRI scan. It is unusual to find empty sella syndrome associated with hypopituitarism. The authors describe such an unusual finding in a 54-year-old nulliparous woman.
