Published: March 2019

Agricultural innovation platforms are increasingly seen as a panacea for mitigating the agricultural value chain challenges through enabling the co-evolution of different elements in the innovation process. A number of previous studies on IPs show processes for their formation and contribution to innovations. Very few studies have attempted to investigate the perceived benefits from platforms as important determinants for actor participation. Using a sample of 319 randomly selected farmers from one innovation platform in Uganda, it was established that the uncertain markets for the agricultural output, sources of inputs and agricultural information were perceived to be the key motivators for the formation of the platform. The study found a positive significant relationship between transaction cost challenges of environmental uncertainty and structural embeddedness (p<0.01) and frequency of interaction and structural embeddedness (p<0.05). On the other hand, environmental uncertainty, asset specificity and frequency of interactions were significantly correlated with relational embeddedness (p<0.05). However, the complexity of tasks in the value chain was not significantly correlated with structural and relational embeddedness (p≥0.05). It therefore means that to ensure effective participation and implementation of platform activities, efforts ought to be placed on fulfilling the platform’s promise as a forum for mitigation of transaction cost challenges such as inadequate markets for both output and inputs, customized products and inputs and lack of valuable agricultural information.

Published: March 2019

The research aimed at assessing the perceptions and willingness of poultry farmers, feed traders and processors to use insects as a source of protein ingredient in poultry feed. The research used a cross-sectional design and a structured questionnaire to collect quantitative data from 287 poultry farmers and 71 feed traders from 3 culturally diverse regions in Uganda. The study findings revealed that majority of the farmers mixed their own poultry feed. Willingness to use insects in poultry feeds was expressed by over 70% of the farmers, feed traders and processors, indicating a strong potential demand for insect-based feeds. However, some poultry farmers doubted the possibility of acquiring insects (rearing/harvesting) in large enough quantities and the consumers’ acceptance of poultry products from birds raised on insect-based feed. Nonetheless, there is a high potential for adoption of insects for use as poultry feed if they can be produced in sustainable quantities that ensure the viability of poultry farming and the feed processing businesses.

Integration of Genetic and Reproductive Counseling with Psychotherapy: Considerations Through a Case
Authors: Monros Eugenia , Junyent Assumpta 
Published: March 2019

The main objective of this article is to invite clinical psychologists and psychotherapists to penetrate the world of rare genetic diseases and think over the emotional and psychosocial impact they have on the individual. Beyond the informative act of genetic counseling, both those affected and their families often need a deep psychotherapeutic process to overcome the traumatic aspects and grief which are often associated with the disease. From an integrative look, the process should also include the bio-psycho-social support to promote access to health and associative resources. In short, the patient and/or the family need to be helped to rebuild and re-tell their life in a more autonomous and healthy way. A clinical case is presented to illustrate the need to include psychotherapy into genetic counseling.
Échanges et relations commerciales entre Rouergue et Bas-Languedoc au XIIe siècle
Authors: Douzou Alain 
Published: March 2019

Intercambios y relaciones comerciales entre Rouergue y bas-Languedoc en el siglo XII.
En el siglo xII se intensifican las actividades artesanales, comerciales, financieras e intelectuales en un Bas-Languedoc abierto al mundo mediterráneo pero también en contacto con la Francia del Norte y el resto de Europa. Distando mucho de ser un «cuarto de atrás » exclusivamente rural, el sur del Massif central se va integrando a esa dinámica, suministrando caballos para la guerra o acémilas, animales que además de la carne abastecen de productos brutos (lana, pieles, sebo) o elaborados (quesos, beicon, cueros) y también de madera y metales, incluso plata. En cambio, vienen del sur nuevos productos, nuevas técnicas, nuevos usos. Las carreteras son concurridas, fieras y mercados se multiplican, los productos de artesanía van aumentando en el marco o en la periferia de los grandes dominios religiosos, cirtencienses y de órdenes militares. Actividades textiles (tejido, tinte de paños de lana o de cáñamo), curtimiento, pellejería, forjas conllevan la existencia de une clase de artesanos especializados y respetados, la prosperidad de ciertos pueblos y el incremento del uso del dinero. La aristocracia local procura por su cuenta adaptarse y aprovecharse de ese maná : condes y vizcondes controlan peajes y mercados y se esmeran en hacer más seguros los caminos con los salvoconductos y el «Commun de Paix » establecido en 1170. Las interferencias entre monte y litoral contribuyen en resumidas cuentas a la prosperidad de ambos y explican la intensa actividad de construcción de iglesias, de castillos y de puentes de los cuales quedan numerosos vestigios.
Textile as Traveller: The Transmission of Inscribed Robes across Asia in the Twelfth through Fourteenth Centuries
Authors: Shea Eiren 
Published: March 2019

Entre le XIIe et le XIVe siècle, des échanges d’une ampleur sans précédent se développent entre l’Asie orientale, l’Asie centrale et l’Asie occidentale. Alors produits dans toute l’Asie, les textiles décorés d’inscriptions – ou de motifs ressemblant à des inscriptions – permettent d’explorer ce phénomène. Ces inscriptions, dérivant, semble-t-il, de la tradition du ṭirāz d’Asie occidentale, et associées à la pratique de vêtements honorifiques, apparaissent sous la forme d’écritures lisibles et sous celle de pseudo-écritures. Leur émergence en Asie orientale renvoie à la dimension sémiotique des inscriptions de style ṭirāz, y compris en dehors du monde islamique. Si la tendance à employer des écritures étrangères comme des motifs pour vêtements semble avoir atteint son apogée durant la période Mongole (ca. 1206-1368), des exemples antérieurs de plusieurs siècles ont été découverts. Retracer les itinéraires de ces textiles inscrits permet de mieux évaluer les échanges culturels, politiques et technologiques développés à travers l’Asie durant ces quelque trois siècles.

Les exemples ici présentés couvrent toute l’époque Qing et permettent de souligner le caractère homogène des idéaux relatifs à la beauté des femmes, à leur statut social et à leur rôle dans la société. Les sources historiques et littéraires permettent, pour leur part, de mieux saisir le contexte culturel de la création de telles estampes.
Préparation et structure cristalline d'un nouvel hydroxychromate de cuivre Cu11(OH)14(CrO4)4
Authors: Riou Amédée 
Published: March 2019

Hydrolysis of γ Cu₂ (OH)₂CrO₄ at 160°C gives a new stable compound. It was possible to definitely attribute the complex formula Cu₁₁ (OH)₁₄ (CrO₄)₄ to this compound only after its complete structural investigation. This hydroxychromate crystallises in the triclinic system, with space groupe P-1 and Z = 1 formula units Cu₁₁ (OH)₁₄ (CrO₄)₄ per unit cell. The crystal structure of this compound was investigated after computation of a three-dimensional Patterson function which revealed the positions of the copper and chromium atoms. The positions of the oxygen atoms were investigated by Fourier difference synthesis. In this structure the distribution of copper atoms is as follows : seven copper atoms are set in octahedral layers where all the octahedral sites are occupied by Cu²⁺ ; equidistant from two octahedral layers of this first type are set four copper atoms forming octahedral links in which four of the possible octahedral sites are filled by copper. The chromate groups make the bond between these octahedral layers and links.
The oxygen atoms or hydroxyl groups are set in parallel planes pratically equidistant but in the unit cell there are sometimes 7, sometimes 8 oxygen atoms or hydroxyls per layer.
Experimental studies on anorthite crystallization along the join CaAl2Si2O8-SiO2
Authors: Bruno Emiliano , Facchinelli Aurelio 
Published: March 2019

La cristallisation d'anorthite le long d'un joint CaAl₂Si₂O₈-SiO₂ sous les conditions hydrothermales et sèches a conduit aux conclusions suivantes :
1) il existe une solubilité partielle de la silice dans l' anorthite. Elle peut atteindre jusqu'à 15 % en poids de SiO₂ dans l' anorthite.
2) la solution solide résultante est métastable. Les limites de la solubilité varient selon les conditions de la synthèse.
3) les paramètres de la maille d'une phase du type anorthite, cristallisée dans le domaine de solubilité de la silice, varient d'une façon continue avec la teneur croissante de SiO₂ dans la solution solide. Cette variation est très analogue à celle qu'on observe sur les plagioclases entre An100 et An65.
De ces observations, on peut supposer que, dans le domaine de solubilité de la silice, une phase du type feldspath peut cristalliser, dont la composition s'exprime par la formule : Ca1-x□xAl2-2xSi2+2xO8.

Les problèmes de conservation du site archéologique de Palaipaphos.
La protection et la promotion du patrimoine constituent un des piliers essentiels assurant la cohésion des sociétés modernes, en renforçant l’identité culturelle. Le Département des Antiquités de Chypre, qui a la charge de protéger, de promouvoir et de mettre en valeur le patrimoine archéologique de l’île, a mené à bien l’inscription de trois importants sites archéologiques dans la liste du patrimoine culturel mondial de l’UNESCO, comme des lieux d’une «valeur universelle exceptionnelle » . Palaipaphos, avec le Sanctuaire d’Aphrodite, est l’un de ces sites : lieu de culte mondialement connu dans l’antiquité, et de nos jours d’une valeur inestimable pour l’identité de l’île. La sauvegarde et la conservation du site grâce à la recherche scientifique, concentrant son effort sur la détection des facteurs nuisibles et la mise en oeuvre d’interventions préventives efficaces, sont une absolue nécessité. À cette fin, le Département des Antiquités de Chypre, coopérant avec le Département de Géologie de l’université de Salonique (Grèce), a entrepris d’étudier la décomposition des blocs de pierre du sanctuaire. Les résultats de cette recherche constituent le début d’une procédure visant à permettre une gestion efficace du site et sa sauvegarde, au profit des générations futures.

Informer les étudiants de leurs chances de réussite influe-t-il sur leur choix d’orientation ?
Cette étude mesure l’impact d’une réforme du système d’enseignement supérieur français qui vise à améliorer l’allocation des étudiants dans leur filière de formation à l’université. Depuis la mise en oeuvre de cette réforme, les universités doivent informer les étudiants, au moment où ils s’inscrivent, de leurs chances de réussite à partir de leurs notes au lycée. Pour mesurer l’effet du conseil sur les choix d’orientation des étudiants, nous comparons ceux qui se portent candidats à différents UFR dans la même université, certains fournissant des conseils aux étudiants, tandis que d’autres non. Nous trouvons que parmi les étudiants qui reçoivent un avis négatif, la proportion de ceux qui décident de s’inscrire est réduite de 12 points de pourcentage.
Les revers du commerce négrier entre l’océan Indien et le Río de la Plata (fin du XVIIIe-début du XIXe siècle)

Le commerce négrier entre l’océan Indien et le Río de la Plata, à la fin
du XVIIIe et au début du XIXe siècle, affrontait de nombreuses difficultés (tempêtes, naufrages, épidémies, guerres). La documentation des Archives Nationales de Buenos Aires montre comment les risques étaient calculés d’avance, grâce à d’ingénieux montages financiers élaborés sur les grandes places du commerce international, afin de préserver une marge bénéficiaire suffisante pour alimenter la progression du trafic.
Les coopérants dans l’enseignement secondaire voltaïque de 1960 au milieu des années 1980 : témoignages d’anciens élèves
Authors: Ouedraogo Honoré 
Published: March 2019

French cooperation workers in UpperVolta’s secondary school system, from 1960 to the 1980s : testimonies of former pupils.
Just after independences, French cooperation scheme provided the sub-Saharan African states with financial aids, material and human resources to remedy the shortage of civil servants. Through their own testimonies, cooperation workers have been able to write and make their action in education visible. But what is the point of view of the population who benefited from the cooperation ? Testimonies at hand predominantly point out the cooperation workers’ professional ability, sense of purpose, dedication, diligence, austerity and commitment. They underline the feelings of gratitude, respect and consideration the natives have sometimes shown. The research outcome also displays a seamy side : cases of incompetence, inability, sloth, alcoholism have thus been signaled. Stories and various reports from students testify that the lives of French cooperation workers in Africa are unquestionably the source of collective memories, which have been improved and perfected through years. Based on oral testimonies, this investigation aims at being a contribution to the history of cooperation in a bottom-up perspective.
Bilan des études carpologiques réalisées dans le cadre des grands tracés en région Picardie
Authors: Zech-Matterne Véronique 
Published: March 2019

Les études carpologiques associées à la fouille ou au diagnostic de 68 établissements ruraux implantés sur les grands tracés autoroutiers ou ferroviaires de Picardie permettent d’esquisser les évolutions survenues dans les modes de production et de consommation des denrées végétales entre la Protohistoire ancienne et le début des périodes médiévales. La céréaliculture apparaît dominante, et repose principalement sur quatre espèces dont les proportions relatives évoluent au cours du temps : l’orge vêtue, les blés vêtus de type amidonnier et épeautre et les blés nus (froment et/ ou blé dur). Après la conquête romaine, la Picardie se scinde en deux zones d’exploitation distinctes, assorties de pratiques d’élevage qui se différencient également. Le sud de la
région adopte massivement la culture des blés nus tandis que les domaines localisés au nord de la Somme maintiennent la culture des blés vêtus en privilégiant toutefois l’épeautre. L’essor de l’arboriculture fruitière intervient également au début des périodes historiques.

Abstract
Understanding the relationship between long-period giant planets and multiple smaller short-period planets is critical for formulating a complete picture of planet formation. This work characterizes three such systems. We present Kepler-65, a system with an eccentric (e = 0.28 ± 0.07) giant planet companion discovered via radial velocities (RVs) exterior to a compact, multiply transiting system of sub-Neptune planets. We also use precision RVs to improve mass and radius constraints on two other systems with similar architectures, Kepler-25 and Kepler-68. In Kepler-68 we propose a second exterior giant planet candidate. Finally, we consider the implications of these systems for planet formation models, particularly that the moderate eccentricity in Kepler-65's exterior giant planet did not disrupt its inner system.
The Fe ii/Mg ii Flux Ratio of Low-luminosity Quasars at z ∼ 3
Authors: Shin Jaejin , Nagao Tohru , Woo Jong-Hak , Le Huynh Anh N. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
The Fe ii/Mg ii line flux ratio has been used to investigate the chemical evolution of high-redshift active galactic nuclei (AGNs). No strong evolution has been found out to z ∼ 6, implying that the SN 1a activity already occurred in the early universe. However, the trend of no evolution can be caused by the sample selection bias because previous studies have utilized mostly very luminous AGNs, which may be already chemically matured at the observed redshift. As motivated by the previously reported correlation between AGN luminosity and metallicity, we investigate the Fe ii/Mg ii flux ratio over a large dynamic range of luminosity, by adding a new sample of 12 quasars at z ∼ 3, of which the lower-luminosity limit is more than 1 dex smaller than that of the previously studied high-z quasars. Based on the Gemini/GNIRS observations, we find that the seven low-luminosity quasars with a mean bolometric luminosity log L
bol ∼ 46.5 ± 0.2 has an average Fe ii/Mg ii ratio of 0.68 ± 0.11 dex. This ratio is comparable to that of high-luminosity quasars (log L
bol ∼ 47.3 ± 0.3) in our sample (i.e., Fe ii/Mg ii ratio of 0.59 ± 0.15 dex) and that of the previously studied high-luminosity quasars at higher redshifts. One possible scenario is that the low-luminosity quasars in our sample are still relatively luminous and already chemically matured. To search for chemically young AGNs, and to fully understand the chemical evolution based on the Fe ii/Mg ii/flux ratio, investigations of much lower-luminosity AGNs are required.
