Comment j’ai écrit un de mes livres : La double genèse de Si par une nuit d’hiver un voyageur d’Italo Calvino
Authors: Berkman Natalie 
Published: December 2018

Les années parisiennes d’Italo Calvino sont marquées non seulement par une amitié avec Raymond Queneau et ses camarades de l’OuLiPo (l’Ouvroir de Littérature Potentielle) dont Calvino devint membre officiel en 1973, mais aussi de nombreuses théories littéraires qui étaient à la mode à l’époque, notamment la sémiotique d’Algirdas Greimas. Après la publication de son roman Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore en 1979, Calvino publie deux fois le même essai, Comment j’ai écrit un de mes livres, dans lequel il raconte la genèse de l’œuvre et la manière « oulipo-greimassienne » dont il l’avait fabriquée. Cependant, les brouillons du livre ne semblent pas en rapport avec l’article. Cette histoire des multiples genèses de Si par une nuit d’hiver un voyageur éclaircira non seulement les méthodes oulipiennes et théoriques de l’auteur italien, mais également l’importance des années parisiennes de Calvino dans la génétique de cette œuvre.
« Capitalismes dépendants » d’Europe centrale et orientale : pièges de la dépendance externe et instrumentalisations domestiques
Authors: Delteil Violaine 
Published: December 2018

Au croisement de l’économie politique internationale et de la science politique, l’article propose quelques outils analytiques et illustrations empiriques pour penser les logiques et dynamiques propres au modèle de « capitalisme dépendant » est-européen. Les économies d’Europe orientale, prises dans les rets de dépendances en chaîne, associant aux pressions économiques les exigences politico-institutionnelles venant de l’UE, emblématisent ce modèle. Prenant appui sur l’expérience de ces pays mis en regard avec l’Europe centrale, l’article explicite les fondements domestiques de la dépendance externe, depuis « l’État faible » et le régime de compétitivité « low cost », jusqu’aux stratégies d’acteurs instrumentant la norme externe pour discipliner les pratiques locales (corruption, informalité, etc.). À l’aune de cette dépendance, les écueils de l’intégration européenne apparaissent flagrants et largement contingents d’une gouvernance de l’UE inapte à défaire le piège de la dépendance qui enserre les économies de la périphérie, et incidemment nourrit une crise profonde du politique.
De la réforme agraire à l’hyperinflation : l’expérience zimbabwéenne (1997-2008)
Authors: Drabo Daouda 
Published: December 2018

Cet article a pour objectif de contribuer à la compréhension de l’hyperinflation zimbabwéenne de 2008. La réforme agraire annoncée en novembre 1997 est à l’origine de cette hyperinflation. Celle-ci a provoqué une fuite massive de capitaux et une désorganisation de la production qui entraînent sur plusieurs années la dégradation des comptes extérieurs, et une dépréciation tendancielle du dollar zimbabwéen. La dépréciation, via la hausse des coûts à l’importation, a engendré une forte augmentation des prix. La hausse durable des prix a, par la suite, débouché sur les pratiques d’indexation des prix sur le cours du change. Ces phénomènes d’indexation ont non seulement nourri le processus inflationniste, mais aussi conduit à l’effondrement de la monnaie zimbabwéenne. La réforme agraire enclenche donc un processus qui aboutit à la destruction du dollar zimbabwéen. Notre contribution à la compréhension de l’hyperinflation zimbabwéenne est de montrer comment la décision politique visant à exproprier les terres appartenant aux fermiers britanniques a entraîné un effondrement de l’ordre monétaire.
Enabling High-Performance Heterogeneous Integration via Interface Standards, IP Reuse, and Modular Design
Authors: Olofsson Andreas , Green Daniel S. , Demmin Jeffrey 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
DARPA is leading a new thrust to leverage mainstream semiconductor design approaches to enable the rapid and cost-effective integration of heterogeneous device technologies. This represents a leap ahead beyond the monolithic silicon approach that has served the semiconductor industry well, but which now creates prohibitive cost and design issues at leading-edge nodes, as well as performance constraints without the benefits of broad device technology options. DARPA's Common Heterogeneous Integration and IP Reuse Strategies (CHIPS) program will develop interface standards, IP reuse methodologies, and modular design approaches with the goal of making heterogeneous integration as straightforward as printed circuit board design and assembly, without compromising device performance. An overview of the program's vision, goals, and progress to date is presented here.
Ultrasound elastography findings in piriformis muscle syndrome
Authors: Demirel Adnan , Baykara Murat , Koca Tuba Tülay , Berk Ejder 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Background: Piriformis muscle syndrome (PMS) is relatively less known and underestimated because it is confused with other clinical pathological conditions. Delays in its diagnosis may lead to chronic somatic dysfunction and muscle weakness. Objective: Here, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the ultrasound elastography (UE) as an easy, less-invasive, and cost-effective method for early diagnosis of PMS. Materials and Methods: Twenty-eight cases clinically diagnosed as PMS at the outpatient clinic were evaluated by UE. The elastographic strain ratio was calculated by dividing the strain value of the subcutaneous fat tissue by the mean stress value of the muscle beneath. The diagnostic performances of the strain rate measures were compared using the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Results: Twenty-one (N = 21) cases were female, and seven (N = 7) of the cases were male. The mean age was 45 years (ranged 24–62 years). The strain rates of piriformis muscle (PM) and gluteus maximus (GM) muscles were significantly higher on the PMS-diagnosed side (P < 0.001). The cutoff value of UE strain ratio for the PM and GM were 0.878 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.774–0.981] and 0.768 (95% CI 0.622–0.913), respectively, and the sensitivity and specificity values were, respectively, 80.95% and 85.71% for the PM, and they were, respectively, 85.71% and 66.67% for the GM. Conclusion: We showed that the muscle elasticity and tissue hardening increased on the problematic side both on PM and GM. UE may provide early diagnosis of PMS, thereby increasing the possibility of treatment with less invasive methods.

Published: December 2018

Abstract
Objectives: This study aims at determining the normal pancreatic dimensions in pediatric age groups considering demographic parameters and thus developing percentile reference curves for normal pancreatic dimensions in Indian children. Setting and Design: It is a cross-sectional study. Materials and Methods: A hospital-based cross-sectional study was planned at a children hospital during July 2016–December 2017, in which the pancreatic dimensions of 1078 normal children in the age range of 1 month to 19 years were obtained through abdominal ultrasonography (USG). The demographic details like age and gender were obtained for each child. Statistical Analysis Used: Percentile reference curves were obtained with reference to age for each gender type independently. Generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape were used to obtain percentile plots for each pancreatic part. Results: The mean age of children was 6.65 ± 4.43 years and the male-to-female ratio was 1.63:1. The head, body, and tail dimensions increased with the age. For head, up to 25th percentile, the curves were similar for both genders, while subsequent curves were higher in males as compared to females. Similar was the observation for body of pancreas. For tail, up to 75th percentile, the curves were similar for both genders. Conclusion: The normal ranges can be supportive in diagnosis of illness related to pancreas. The dimensions within 5–95th percentile along with iso-echogenicity can be regarded as normal, while the dimensions beyond these limits along with change of echogenicity can be suspected for pancreatic disorders.

Published: December 2018

Abstract. The effects of slaughter age and muscle type on meat quality properties of
Eastern Anatolian Red (EAR) bulls (n=46) were investigated in the present
study. Forty-six EAR bulls were slaughtered at 15, 17, 19, 25 and 27 months.
Meat samples were taken from longissimus dorsi (LD) and gluteus medius (GM)
muscles obtained from the carcasses at 24 h post-mortem. Meat color
parameters were significantly affected by slaughter age. Older animals (19,
25 and 27 months of age) possessed higher L*, a* and
H values than those of younger animals (15 and 17 months of age). LD muscle
had higher L* and a* values than those of GM muscles. The influences
of slaughter age and muscle type on the proportions of dry matter, ether
extract, crude ash and crude protein were not significant in the present study.
The influence of slaughter age on the tenderness, acceptability, juiciness,
number of chews and Warner–Bratzler shear (WBS) values were found to be
significant. Tenderness, juiciness, flavor intensity and acceptability
increased until 19 months of age, and then increase in age resulted in lower
tenderness, flavor intensity and acceptability scores. Cooking yield
significantly increased depending on the increase of age. WBS and cooking
yield values from the LD were higher than that of the GM muscle. Textural
characteristics such as hardness, springiness, cohesiveness, gumminess,
chewiness and resilience were not affected by slaughter age, but muscles had
a significant influence on hardness, gumminess, chewiness and resilience. In
conclusion, most eating quality characteristics and color parameters were
positively influenced by slaughter age.
Aerosol optical properties derived from POLDER-3/PARASOL (2005–2013) over the western Mediterranean Sea – Part 1: Quality assessment with AERONET and in situ airborne observations
Authors: Formenti Paola , Mbemba Kabuiku Lydie , Chiapello Isabelle , Ducos Fabrice , Dulac François , Tanré Didier 
Published: December 2018

Abstract. The western Mediterranean atmosphere is impacted by a variety of aerosol
sources, producing a complex and variable mixture of natural and
anthropogenic particles, with different chemical and physical properties.
Satellite sensors provide a useful global coverage of aerosol parameters but
through indirect measurements that require careful validation. Here we
present the results of a long-term regional scale analysis of the full
dataset (March 2005 and October 2013) of POLDER-3/PARASOL ocean operational
retrievals of the total, fine, and coarse aerosol optical depth (AOD,
AODF, and AODC), Ångström exponent (AE), and
the spherical or non-spherical partition of coarse-mode AOD
(AODCS and AODCNS), respectively. The evaluation is
performed using data from 17 coastal and insular ground-based AERONET sites
on one side, and airborne vertical profiles of aerosol extinction and number
size distribution obtained by the SAFIRE ATR-42 aircraft operated in the area
during summer 2012 and 2013 on the other side. This study provides the first
regional evaluation of uncertainties of the POLDER-3 products, and highlights
their quality. The POLDER-3 Ångström exponent, representing AOD
spectral dependence in link with the aerosol particle size distribution, is
biased towards small values. This bias, however, does not prevent using AE
for classifying the regional aerosol laden air masses. AODF
corresponds to particles smaller than 0.6–0.8 µm in diameter and
appears suitable to monitor the aerosol submicron fraction from space. We
also provide an original validation of POLDER-3 AODC and its
spherical or non-spherical partition, which shows agreement within 25 %
with AERONET shape retrievals when the aerosol coarse fraction
dominates.
LISA: a lightweight stratospheric air sampler
Authors: Hooghiem Joram J. D. , de Vries Marcel , Been Henk A. , Heikkinen Pauli , Kivi Rigel , Chen Huilin 
Published: December 2018

Abstract. We developed a new lightweight stratospheric air sampler (LISA). The LISA
sampler is designed to collect four bag samples in the stratosphere during a
balloon flight for CO2, CH4 and CO mole fraction
measurements. It consists of four multi-layer foil (MLF) sampling bags, a
custom-made manifold, and a diaphragm pump, with a total weight of
∼2.5 kg. A series of laboratory storage tests were performed to assess the stability
of CO2, CH4 and CO mole fractions in both MLF and Tedlar
bags. The MLF bag was chosen due to its better overall performance than the
Tedlar bag for the three species CO2, CH4 and CO.
Furthermore, we evaluated the performance of the pump under low pressure
conditions to optimize a trade-off between the vertical resolution and the
sample size. The LISA sampler was flown on the same balloon flight with an AirCore in
Sodankylä, Finland (67.368∘ N, 26.633∘ E,
179 m a.s.l.), on 26 April and 4–7 September 2017. A total of 15
stratospheric air samples were obtained during the ascent of four flights.
The sample size ranges between 800 and 180 mL for the altitude between
12 and 25 km, with the corresponding vertical resolution ranging from
0.5 to 1.5 km. The collected air samples were analysed for
CO2, CH4 and CO mole fractions, and evaluated against
AirCore retrieved profiles, showing mean differences of 0.84 ppm for
CO2, 1.8 ppb for CH4 and 6.3 ppb for CO,
respectively. High-accuracy stratospheric measurements of greenhouse gas mole fractions are
useful to validate remote sensing measurements from ground and from space,
which has been performed primarily by comparison with collocated aircraft
measurements (0.15–13 km), and more recently with AirCore
observations (0–30 km). While AirCore is capable of achieving
high-accuracy greenhouse gas mole fraction measurements, it is challenging to
obtain accurate altitude registration for AirCore measurements. The LISA
sampler provides a viable low-cost tool for retrieving stratospheric air
samples for greenhouse gas measurements that is complementary to AirCore.
Furthermore, the LISA sampler is advantageous in both the vertical resolution
and sample size for performing routine stratospheric measurements of the
isotopic composition of trace gases.
Los objetos de adorno en marfil del yacimiento del Cerro de la Vírgen (Orce, Granada)
Authors: Pau Claudia , Morillo León José Miguel , Cámara Serrano Juan Antonio , Molina González Fernando 
Published: December 2018

En el presente trabajo se ha estudiado la totalidad (31) de los objetos en marfil recuperados en el Cerro de la Virgen (Orce, Gramada) durante las intervenciones arqueológicas realizadas entre 1963 y 1970. Se ha llevado a cabo el estudio morfo-tipológico, la caracterización de la materia prima y el análisis traceológico. Se han identificado 2 categorías diferentes de adornos (colgantes y botones), en algunos casos con subdivisiones. Se pueden sugerir diferencias temporales con el aumento de la variabilidad en momentos campaniformes (fase 2) y la presencia de algunas formas sólo en determinadas fases. Se han identificado principalmente las últimas fases de manufactura y procesos de reparación, y el análisis traceológico apoya la relación de los denominados “botones” con la vestimenta. En cuanto a la materia prima, el estudio óptico ha podido determinar el uso de marfil de elefante y de hipopótamo, además de elementos realizados sobre muestras de cetáceos y jabalíes. A través de FTIR se ha podido discriminar entre marfil de elefante asiático y africano. Frente a lo constatado en otros yacimientos, el uso de marfil de hipopótamo se constata desde el inicio de la ocupación en un momento precampaniforme y el marfil de elefante asiático sigue utilizándose hasta el Bronce Antiguo.
Regime Resilience, Social Welfare, and Economic Development in the Islamic Republic of Iran
Authors: Lob Eric 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
Even before the mass protests of 2017–2018, the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) has confronted an array of political, economic, and social issues that compelled the state to consider reform in order to avoid the possibility of another revolution. During the last four decades, the IRI's social welfare policies have helped explain its resilience and vulnerability, the agency and dynamics of its state-society relations, its changes and continuities vis-à-vis the former regime, and its inclusivity and exclusivity. According to various income and human development index (HDI) indicators, the IRI's economic and developmental performance is one of mediocrity rather than outright failure or success, compared to other middle-income countries in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) and other regions in the global South.
Female Citizenship under Authoritarian Rule in the Middle East: Baʿthist Syria and Beyond
Authors: Maktabi Rania 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In Creating Consent in Baʿthist Syria, Esther Meininghaus claims that Syria between 1967 and 2008 was a totalitarian state and that the dispersion of welfare through a mass organization—The General Union for Syrian Women—secured consent toward the repressive regime. The article argues that the Syrian Baʿthist regime is better understood as authoritarian rather than totalitarian. By overlooking the impact of religious pluralism on women's status and position in multireligious Syria, Meininghaus overstates the significance of developing mass organizations under Baʿthist rule. Syrian women's civil rights under Baʿthist rule is thereafter seen in light of female citizenship under other shades of authoritarian rule in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region after 2011.
The Seduction of Mystical Monisms: A Temptation for Human Dignity–Oriented Therapies
Authors: Orange Donna M. 
Published: December 2018

Abstract
In Adolf Hitler in der Geschichte [Adolf Hitler in History], philosopher Hermann Schmitz traces the occidental history of ideas—the situation—that he believes made Hitler a matter of course and his phobic hatred of the Jews unsurprising. Drawing heavily on Hitler's speeches, he attempts to show that the new phenomenology he has created will complete the work that the National Socialists failed to finish. It is unclear whether Schmitz wrote this book after the Historikerstreit ([historian's quarrel]: an intellectual and political controversy in West German of the late 1980s about how best to remember Nazi Germany and the Holocaust) to minimize the Holocaust, a word he uses only for German suffering, or to illustrate his own theory of atmospheres and situations, or both. In either case, this book should give pause to psychotherapists looking to the “New Phenomenology” for theoretical novelty or conceptual inspiration.
Dystopia, Utopia, and “Home” in Toni Morrison's Home
Authors: Tabone Mark A. 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
This article argues that there is a utopian impulse animating the work of Toni Morrison that is best manifest in the figure of “home.” It turns to utopian scholars, Morrison scholars, and Morrison herself to theorize home-as-utopia in Morrison's work and discusses the novel in which it finds its fullest expression, 2012's Home. It explicates how, against a demythologizing dystopian portrayal of 1950s America, Morrison posits utopia not as an ideal or blueprint, or as an enclave or other space, but instead as an everyday ethical practice. It links Morrison's idea of home to Ernst Bloch's concept of heimat as well as what Lucy Sargisson describes as “a system of social exchange … marked by the desire to give.” It thus sheds light on the “home” that, according to Evelyn Jaffe Schreiber, “has provided an ongoing hopeful thread interweaving [Morrison's] novels” and defines Morrison's search for “paradise.”
Humanity in a Posthuman World: M. R. Carey's The Girl with All the Gifts
Authors: Hale Kimberly Hurd , Dolgoy Erin A. 
Published: December 2018

ABSTRACT
M. R. Carey's unique novel The Girl with All the Gifts examines the intersection of human nature, natural rights, and the political future of transhumanism. Carey's novel is rare in the canon of dystopian literature, in that it portrays humanity's imminent extinction not as the result of human action—or inaction; there is no external, extraterrestrial force dismantling the world as we know it, nor has human technology escaped its masters' control. In the context of the novel, the extinction of humanity is not necessarily a negative outcome. The creatures initially presented as zombies are revealed to be humanity's successors: creatures with human intelligence that lack many human frailties. Carey's novel posits that human things—literature, philosophy, reason, poetry—may transcend humanity itself. Through the lens of Carey's novel, we examine the political and philosophical implications of a humanity ultimately bounded by the vicissitudes of nature.
Análisis de la efectividad de las estrategias metacognitivas en el desarrollo de las competencias lingüísticas orientadas a la lectura rápida y a la identificación y comprensión de la idea principal en un texto con estudiantes de inglés
Authors: Hodgson Hodgson Francisco 
Published: December 2018

La lectura es una de las cuatro competencias claves del proceso de aprendizaje del idioma inglés, en particular, como una habilidad receptora que facilita la adopción e incorporación de una gama de información y de diferentes formas. Hoy, el mundo de la tecnología, específicamente el mundo digital, brinda al lector no solo acceso a una mayor variedad de textos, sino que exige del lector un desempeño más preciso y expedito al leer. Este contexto exige competencias de lectura rápida y compresión lectora para discernir toda la información disponible sobre casi todos los temas.
El ensayo se focaliza en la evaluación y documentación de una estrategia pedagógica, que promueve el desarrollo de la competencia lectora con los estudiantes del Programa Académico Intensivo (AEP). La estrategia pedagógica plantea el desarrollo de habilidades, por ejemplo: la predicción, por medio de la cual, el lector activa su conocimiento previo de la lectura; skimming o el hojear rápidamente un texto para obtener una idea general del texto; scanning o la búsqueda de información específica, ya que se consideran son trascendentales para la adquisición de la habilidad lectora, además de explorar palabras claves y preguntas de comprensión, elementos que contribuyen a la compresión del idioma y a la ampliación de la cultura general de los estudiantes.
