L’idéal interculturel à l’aune des politiques publiques à l’échelle municipale au Québec
Authors: Rocher François 
Published: February 2018

Au Québec, l’élaboration des orientations générales et des programmes en matière de « gestion de la diversité » ou d’interculturalisme relève des autorités provinciales et municipales. L’intégration sociale et économique des nouveaux arrivants incombe au gouvernement provincial qui, par la suite, conclut des ententes avec les municipalités pour sa mise en oeuvre à l’échelle locale. Chacun des ordres de gouvernement intervient au regard de ses compétences, mais aussi en tentant de promouvoir certaines valeurs/objectifs. En identifiant les interventions des cinq plus grandes municipalités du Québec (Montréal, Québec, Laval, Gatineau, Longueuil) et en les classant selon les trois dimensions constitutives de l’interculturalisme (instrumentale, humaniste et citoyenne), nous remarquons que les objectifs à caractère humaniste, qui cherchent à favoriser la cohésion sociale, la communication, l’ouverture à la différence et le respect des droits de la personne, sont plus nombreux que ceux s’inscrivant dans les dimensions instrumentale et citoyenne. Par contre, les actions proposées par les municipalités sont davantage de nature instrumentale et s’inscrivent dans un rapport clientéliste. La dimension citoyenne est la moins présente. Il existe néanmoins de grandes disparités entre les cinq municipalités retenues. Le présent article en rend compte.
L’expérience de la diversité dans les quartiers de classe moyenne à Montréal
Authors: Jean Sandrine 
Published: February 2018

Les tensions sociales et politiques concernant la question de l’immigration qui secouent le Québec sont plus que jamais d’actualité. Alors que plusieurs travaux ont porté sur les attitudes face à l’immigration, nous proposons un regard ethnographique sur l’expérience de la diversité dans deux quartiers dits de « classe moyenne » de la grande région de Montréal. L’observation concrète des interactions interethniques dans les espaces publics ainsi que des entrevues qualitatives approfondies auprès de familles « natives » et d’origine immigrante avec de jeunes enfants nous permettent d’avancer que les espaces publics, plus particulièrement les parcs de quartier, apparaissent comme des lieux particulièrement privilégiés des familles dans l’expérience de la diversité et l’apprivoisement de la différence. Bien que la convivialité l’emporte sur l’aversion dans ces espaces publics, certains inconforts demeurent, surtout lorsqu’ils engagent des marqueurs religieux ou touchent à l’éducation des enfants. La sociabilité publique et la participation dans les réseaux communautaires, tant des « natifs » que des immigrants, permettent de dépasser certaines tensions et favorisent des rapprochements vers une cohabitation interethnique urbaine inclusive.
Une approche interculturaliste théorico-pratique
Authors: Giménez Romero Carlos , Beauclair Nicolas 
Published: February 2018

Cet article présente une approche interculturaliste de base interdisciplinaire développée depuis 1994 à travers une trajectoire universitaire théorico-pratique de recherches anthropologiques, d’actions formatives, de consultation et de projets d’intervention. Cette proposition interculturaliste a été élaborée de manière dialectique à partir de la praxis et sert de fondement idéologico-scientifique à divers plans et programmes. L’interculturalisme est formulé comme projet sociopolitique et éthique ; comme utopie, méthode et processus dialogique ; et comme proposition basée sur trois principes : 1) principe d’égalité, juridique et relationnelle ; 2) principe de différence, respect et mise à profit de la diversité ; 3) principe d’interaction positive, d’unité dans la diversité, mettant l’accent sur ce qui est commun et sur la construction participative. Après avoir caractérisé le contexte espagnol et synthétisé les traits primordiaux de l’Approche interculturaliste, son application est détaillée dans le Projet d’Intervention communautaire interculturel, initié en 2010 dans 17 territoires de grande diversité de 15 villes espagnoles, et élargi en 2014 à 39 territoires de 32 municipalités.
Analysis of Policy Change Relating to Presidential Regulation No.19 year 2016 on Health Insurance became Presidential Regulation No.28 year 2016 on Health Insurance

Abstract. The rapid change from presidential regulation no.19 year 2016 on health insurance into presidential regulation no.28 year 2016 on health insurance get a big attention. This research was purposed to analyze about health insurance policy which changed very quickly. It changed from presidential regulation no.19 year 2016 into presidential regulation no.28 year 2016 on health insurance. The researcher used qualitative methods. The analysis from the input processing and output showed that the change of presidential regulation is a responsive form from president when he looked public rejection response for the increase of fee. The president extended it through the department of health affairs. In terms of inputs, the resources of this policy change are still very limited, while at the stage of the process there is still a lack of cross-sector coordination with related institutions and difficulties in getting the materials needed in the discussion. Presidential Regulation No.28 of 2016 on Health Insurance that became the output in this change is considered to be able to accommodate the demand of the people but the changes are not in accordance with the actuary calculations. This change of presidential regulation not yet affected to appropriate the fee adequacy on BPJS Implementation. The department of health affairs as a leader of health sector was recommended to increase the cross-sectoral coordination which can manifest the better product of health policy and to complete the policy instrument that yet to be determined. It also used to be concern from the department of health affairs, DJSN and BPJS which explained the increase of fee must be offset by a quality improvement rather than the implementation of national health insurance.

An Indo-Pacific damselfish (Neopomacentrus cyanomos) in the Gulf of Mexico: origin and mode of introduction
Authors: Robertson D. Ross , Dominguez-Dominguez Omar , Victor Benjamin , Simoes Nuno 
Published: February 2018

The Indo-West Pacific (IWP) coral-reef damselfishNeopomacentrus cyanomosis well established across the south-west Gulf of Mexico (SwGoMx). Comparisons of mtDNA sequences of the SwGoMx population with those from conspecifics from 16 sites scattered across its native geographic range show that the SwGoMx population is derived from two of four native lineages: one from the north-west Pacific Ocean, the other from the northern Indian Ocean. Three hypotheses address how this species was introduced to the SwGoMX: (1) aquarium release; (2) borne by cargo-ship; and (3) carried by offshore petroleum platform (petro-platform). The first is unlikely because this species rarely features in the aquarium trade, and “N. cyanomos” traded to the USA from the sole IWP source we are aware of are a misidentified congener,N. taeniurus. The second hypothesis is unlikely because shipping has not been associated with the introduction of alien damselfishes, there is little international shipping between the IWP and the SwGoMx, and voyages between those areas would be lengthy and along environmentally unfavorable routes. Various lines of evidence support the third hypothesis: (i) bio-fouled petro-platforms represent artificial reefs that can sustain large and diverse populations of tropical reef-fishes, includingN. cyanomosin the SwGoMx; (ii) relocation of such platforms has been implicated in trans-oceanic introductions leading to establishment of non-native populations of such fishes; and (iii) genetic characteristics of the SwGoMx population indicate that it was established by a large and diverse group of founders drawn from the IWP regions where many petro-platforms currently in the SwGoMx and other Atlantic offshore oilfields originated.

AbstractThe results of sensing of the gas and aerosol composition of the atmosphere with the Optik Tu‐134 aircraft laboratory in the period from 31 July to 1 August 2012 are presented. The measurements were conducted along the flight route Novosibirsk‐Tomsk‐Mirny‐Yakutsk‐Bratsk‐Novosibirsk. A significant part of the Siberian territory during this period was covered by numerous forest fires. The synoptic situation during the measurements was characterized by the presence of low‐gradient field. This fact determined the low rate of transport and diffusion of pollutants and their accumulation in the region under study. The maximal concentrations of CO2, CH4, and CO over fire zones achieved 432 ppm, 2367 ppb, and 4036 ppb, respectively. The aerosol particle number density in emission plumes achieved 4400 cm−3. Outside emission plumes, the concentration ranged within 400–1000 cm−3depending on the region. The mass concentration of aerosol in plumes increased approximately 7 times (6.9). The enrichment of the concentration of some elements and ions in the plume with respect to the background varied from 1.3 to 9.1 times. The generation of ozone from biomass burning products was observed at plume boundaries. Two versions of this process are possible: ozone generation under and above the plume.
In Situ Time‐Dependent and Progressive Oxidation of Reduced State Functionalities at the Nanoscale of Carbon Nanoparticles for Polarity‐Driven Multiscale Near‐Infrared Imaging
Authors: Srivastava Indrajit , Misra Santosh K. , Tripathi Indu , Schwartz‐Duval Aaron , Pan Dipanjan 
Published: February 2018

AbstractSurface abundant oxidize‐able functionalities at the nanoscale of carbon dots are prone to undergo sequential aerial oxidation leading to polarity‐driven wavelength tuning of their photoluminescence and consequently boost their quantum yields. With the progression of time, aerial oxidation is gradually increased from 1 to 6 h; consequently, a remarkable shift in the emission peak is observed, likely due to a gradual decrease in their respective band gaps leading to red shift of their photoluminescence. These bands are found to be dependent on the time of hydrothermal treatment of the model small molecules, i.e., benzophenone imine, and not on the size of the carbon core, as is the typical case for semiconductor quantum dots. Due to their high quantum yield (≈31%), it is demonstrated that these wavelength‐tuned carbon nanoparticles can be efficiently used for multiscale bioimaging, i.e., intracellular, deep tissue ex vivo and in vivo fluorescence bioimaging.
Counteraction ability of TMAO toward different denaturing agents
Authors: Vigorita Marilisa , Cozzolino Serena , Oliva Rosario , Graziano Giuseppe , Del Vecchio Pompea 
Published: February 2018

AbstractDifferential scanning calorimetry measurements performed on RNase A in aqueous binary solutions containing different concentrations of urea, tetramethylurea, guanidinium chloride, and guanidinium thiocyanate, and in aqueous ternary solutions, containing the same denaturants plus 1 M trimethylamine N‐oxide, TMAO, demonstrate that the latter has a general counteracting ability at pH 7.0, but not at pH 4.0. Experimental data rule out the idea that counteraction originates from direct interactions between TMAO molecules and denaturing agents. A rationalization is provided on the basis of a theoretical approach grounded on the solvent‐excluded volume effect, whose magnitude depends on the density of aqueous solutions.
Towards Reflexive Responsibility in a Textile Supply Chain
Authors: Börjeson Natasja , Boström Magnus 
Published: February 2018

AbstractModern industrial society has transformed the textile sector. Brand‐owning companies today seldom own the production process but instead rely on global supply chains consisting of a myriad of suppliers and sub‐suppliers. The global scope of this sector, along with the complex and uncertain health and environmental risks associated with textile production, create extensive challenges for companies striving for sustainability. This paper explores the possibilities for responsible management of high‐risk chemicals in textiles and focuses on a case study of a Swedish outdoor company. The concept of reflexive responsibility is used to understand and discuss potential possibilities and challenges. The paper describes the process and illuminates the complexity, balancing acts and avenues for upstream responsibility faced by a brand‐owning company. It contributes to an understanding of how important steps towards responsibility can be taken. It also addresses the limits of responsible supply chain management of one organization, albeit a highly committed one. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
Sector, Landscape or Rural Transformations? Exploring the Limits and Potential of Agricultural Sustainability Initiatives through a Cocoa Case Study
Authors: Nelson Valerie , Phillips David 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThis paper analyses the changing nature of sustainability initiatives and their capacity to tackle sustainability challenges, focusing on cocoa in West Africa, and distilling lessons pertinent across agro‐export industries and regions. Using data from empirical studies, literature review and consultations with key cocoa actors, we find ‘sustainable’ cocoa at a critical juncture. Applying an existing theoretical framework that distinguishes between resilience, transition and transformation of systems, we explore and analyse previous, current and future sustainability responses. We conclude that there are important innovations and upscaling of investment occurring in the cocoa sector on sustainability, but also that current approaches risk achieving only incremental change, helping to sustain the industry under deteriorating conditions (resilience), without enabling smallholders to claim rights and greater representation (transition) or tackling more fundamental root causes of the vulnerability of smallholders (transformation).

Logging and fire regimes alter plant communities
Authors: Bowd Elle J. , Lindenmayer David B. , Banks Sam C. , Blair David P. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractDisturbances are key drivers of plant community composition, structure, and function. Plant functional traits, including life forms and reproductive strategies are critical to the resilience and resistance of plant communities in the event of disturbance. Climate change and increasing anthropogenic disturbance are altering natural disturbance regimes globally. When these regimes shift beyond the adaptive resilience of plant functional traits, local populations and ecosystem functions can become compromised. We tested the influence of multiple disturbances, of varying intensity and frequency, on the composition and abundance of vascular plant communities and their respective functional traits (life forms and reproductive strategies) in the wet sclerophyll, Mountain Ash Eucalyptus regnans forests of southeastern Australia. Specifically, we quantified the effect of the type and number of disturbances (including fires, clearcut logging, and salvage logging) on plant community composition. We found that clearcut and salvage logging and the number of fires significantly influenced plant community composition and functional traits. Specifically, multiple fires resulted in lower populations of species that depend on on‐site seeding for persistence. This includes the common tree species Eucalyptus regnans, Pomaderris aspera, and Acacia dealbata. In contrast, clearcut and salvage logged sites supported abundant on‐site seeder species. However, species that depend on resprouting by surviving individuals, such as common and keystone “tree ferns” Dicksonia antarctica and Cyathea australis, declined significantly. Our data have important implications for understanding the relationship between altered disturbance regimes and plant communities and the respective effects on ecosystem function. In a period of rapid global environmental change, with disturbances predicted to increase and intensify, it is critical to address the impact of altered disturbance regimes on biodiversity.
From Powdered Oxide to Shaped Metal: an Easy Way to Prepare a Porous Metallic Alloy for SOFC
Authors: Al‐Kattan D. , Lenormand P. , Mauvy F. , Rozier P. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThis work reports a proof of concept to obtain a shaped porous metallic alloy by the reduction at low temperature of an oxide precursor shaped at high temperature. A mixed cations oxide selected for potential applications in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), is prepared using Pechini's polymer route and consolidated using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique at temperature in the 900 °C – 1,100 °C range. A pellet of pure AB2O4 spinel‐like structure with 10% of open porosity is obtained. The reduction of this pellet under H2 flow at low temperature (800 °C) allows obtaining a highly porous (48%) metallic pellet which meets all necessary characteristics to be used as mechanical support for the third generation of SOFC (3G‐SOFC). The use of oxide precursors widen the accessible temperature range allowing the possibility to stack in one step an oxide precursor of the 3G‐SOFC with full densification of the electrolyte. This proof of concept opens the way to the easy and cheap “one step” building of an oxide precursor of 3G‐SOFC which will be in situ activated during the warming up of the cell.
Copper Doped La0.8Sr1.2FeO4 Ruddlesden‐Popper SOFC Cathode: Synthesis, Characterization and Model Analysis

Published: February 2018

AbstractNovel La0.8Sr1.2Fe0.9Cu0.1O4±δ (LSFC) oxides for application as cathodes in SOFCs were prepared with two different synthetic methods: solid‐state‐reaction (SSR) and molten citrate (MC). The XRD, ICP‐OES, SEM, laser granulometry and TG‐DTA techniques were applied for the physico‐chemical characterization. 4‐points DC conductivity measurements and EIS experiments were performed in the electrochemical characterization. Compared to SSR, the MC method allowed to obtain finer powders (∼2 μm vs. ∼5 μm) and required lower calcination temperatures (1,000 °C vs. 1,400 °C). The SSR and MC samples showed similar conductivity (30 S cm−1 at 700 °C) and polarization resistance (1.7 Ω cm2 at 700 °C). The EIS results were analyzed with the equivalent circuits method, and with a physically‐based model for the simulation of the impedance spectra, which indicated that the oxygen reduction mechanism involved the TPB. The MC method revealed preferential, thanks to the lower calcination temperature.
Steady Darcian Flow in Subsurface Irrigation of Topsoil Impeded by a Substratum: Kornev–Riesenkampf–Philip Legacies Revisited
Authors: Obnosov Yu.V. , Kacimov A.R. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractFlows in homogeneous topsoils with a subjacent substratum or horizontal groundwater table generated by line‐point emitters are studied and tracked back to the Kornev method of subsurface irrigation. Laplace's equation governs flow in a saturated or tension‐saturated hat‐shaped zone subtended by the substratum, provided pressure in a porous pipe or mole hole is positive. For low capillarity a free surface (phreatic line or capillary fringe) and a layer–substratum interface of a constant vertical component of velocity bound the flow domain. The free surface is found for various values of source strengths, emitter elevation above the substratum and the ratio of hydraulic conductivities of the topsoil and substratum. Subcritical and supercritical regimes are distinguished. In the limit of an impermeable substratum, the Riesenkampf solution for a line source is analysed. In soils of high capillarity, the J.R. Philip model of a point source and ‘exponential mirror principle’ give a series solution for a vertical array of alternating sources and sinks. Four topological situations emerge, depending on the layer thicknesses, topsoil potential, source depths strengths, saturated conductivity and sorptive number. The point source, groundwater table and soil surface are hydrologically intertwined, with formation of dividing surfaces (separatrices) and critical lines. Copyright © 2018 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
