Les ambitions des rois de Kition
Authors: Yon Marguerite 
Published: September 2016

In the Eastern part of Cyprus, the modifications of the kingdoms' borders throughout the Classical period reflect the Kition's kings ambitious expansion towards the North, at the expense of the ancient kingdom of Idalion, and sometimes towards the North-West, or the North-East, in competition with Salamis.
From the Persian Wars to the submission of the island by Ptolemy Soter at the end of the 4th century B.C., we can follow the historical phases of alternate conquests and withdrawal of the Kition kingdom. In the case of Idalion and its submission to Kition, the establishment of a new political entity had many consequences, political, economical as well ideological and cultural, some features of which can still be seen late as the 3rd century B.C.

La législation prévoit la prise en compte formelle des avis des parents et de l’enfant en matière de protection de l’enfance. Il est proposé un rappel des textes et une analyse critique des retards ou des difficultés constatés sur la place donnée aux « usagers », ainsi qu’une présentation du problème spécifique de l’Action éducative en milieu ouvert ( aemo ) et de l’Action éducative à domicile ( aed ).
Remarques sur l’unicité de l’ aemo et de l’ aed
Authors: Pendanx Daniel 
Published: September 2016

Si l’ aemo et l’ aed ont une vocation clinique commune – celle d’être une médiation éducative visant à étayer la fonction parentale et à trianguler la scène de vie de l’enfant –, alors une aemo , comme le cas présenté en rend compte, ne saurait « réussir » là où une aed ne l’aurait pu.
L’action éducative à domicile au pôle Guidance infantile
Authors: Carpentier Laurence 
Published: September 2016

L’ aed guidance, intégrée au fonctionnement des cmp , porte un regard psychopathologique sur l’action éducative. Elle repose sur deux axes : le travail avec l’enfant, qui offre une relation sécure et soutient la remise en place de ses capacités potentiellement disponibles ; le travail avec les parents, qui ouvre la recherche de sens et favorise leur restauration narcissique. Le contrat, co-rédigé entre les parents et l’équipe de soin, est un outil de travail pertinent : il facilite la reconnaissance par la famille des difficultés de l’enfant, des mécanismes en jeu et soutient l’ajustement parental. Sa signature réengage et restitue aux parents leur place.
Paribas en Roumanie, influence bancaire et impératifs politiques
Authors: Pelletier François 
Published: September 2016

Au tournant du xx e siècle, une nouvelle forme d’énergie s’impose peu à peu par sa supériorité au charbon. La France prend pourtant un sérieux retard dans le domaine de la recherche et de l’exploitation pétrolière. Les besoins croissants de l’industrie et la mécanisation des forces armées vont remettre en question cette attitude passive. La Première Guerre mondiale catalyse le changement. Le gouvernement français utilise alors tous les moyens à sa disposition pour favoriser la création d’une puissante industrie pétrolière nationale. Parallèlement, les grandes banques françaises se lancent dans le secteur. Cet article retrace le processus qui mène à l’implantation de Paribas dans l’industrie pétrolière roumaine. Cet investissement a une portée politique certaine. La Roumanie occupe une place très importante dans la hiérarchie des pays pétroliers. Les enjeux sont importants. La présence française en Roumanie doit contribuer à l’encerclement politique et économique de l’Allemagne.
La raison collective aujourd’hui : illusion ou réalité ?
Authors: Saint-Sernin Bertrand 
Published: September 2016

La notion de raison collective désigne-t‑elle une réalité ou une illusion ? Si cette notion n’est pas illusoire, à l’aide de quels concepts peut-on la penser ? On prend comme champ d’expérience la recherche scientifique et, plus largement, la recherche de la vérité. La question devient alors : la créativité d’une collectivité dépend-elle uniquement de la créativité des individus qui la composent ou y a-t‑il des cas où il est légitime de juger que la collectivité en tant que telle est l’auteur d’une découverte ? Si cette conjecture est fondée, peut-on faire en sorte qu’elle ne se réduise pas à une opinion, même « droite » (hortè doxa), mais devienne une position testable logiquement et expérimentalement ? En nous appuyant sur les travaux de Gilbert Simondon et sur l’expérience conduite par deux mathématiciens, Timothy Gowers et Terence Tao, nous concluons que la notion de découverte collective est fondée mais qu’elle implique un dépassement de l’attachement des individus à leur « moi » et à leur « nous » tribal : il s’agit d’une véritable révolution intellectuelle et spirituelle. Elle est donc fragile, car exposée au déni et à la régression.
Immigration et crise d’identite dans l’Univers Romanesque de Sami Tchak
Authors: Musa Ahmed Eleojo , Onyemelukwe Ifeoma Mabel 
Published: September 2016

La littérature africaine du XXIème siècle a eu une grande transformation. Cela est dû au fait qu’on voit paraître sur la scène littéraire un assez bon nombre de jeunes écrivains et écrivaines de la postindépendance qui de gré ou de force s’installent en Occident et exercent leur métier d’écrivain en situation d’immigrés ou d’exilés. Il ne s’agit plus de la négritude mais d’un nouveau courant ou mouvement littéraire que Chevrier a nommé la migritude. Les ouvrages de ces écrivains de la migritude se caractérisent fortement par l’immigration et la crise d’identité entre autres. Ces deux thèmes attirent notre attention dans la présente étude qui a à sa disposition les approches descriptive et psychanalytique. L’objectif de cette étude est la mise en évidence de la thématique aussi bien de l’immigration que de la crise identitaire. Pour ce faire, cinq romans de Sami Tchak constituent notre corpus de base. Ils sont examinés à fond pour démontrer comment le jeune romancier togolais a abordé le sujet en question. Il a été constaté que Sami Tchak se préoccupe profondément de la thématique aussi bien de l’immigration que de la crise identitaire dans son univers romanesque.English AbstractAfrican literature in the twenty-first century has undergone great transformation. This is because appearing on the literary scene is a large number of young writers of the post independence era ,who of their own volition or by force, settle in the western world and carry on with their work as writers in their situation as immigrants and exiles. It is no more the issue of negritude but of a new literary movement which Chevrier named migritude. The works of these migritude writers are strongly characterized by immigration and identity crises among others. The present study which makes use of descriptive and psychoanalytical approaches takes interest in these two themes. The objective of the study is to examine the themes of immigration and identity crisis. For our corpus, we have five novels of Sami Tchak. They are examined thoroughly to bring out the young Togolese novelist’s treatment of the subject in question. It is established that Sami Tchak takes profound interest in projecting and handling the themes of immigration and identity crisis in his novelistic world.
Analysis of thematic prominence in selected Nigerian inaugural political speeches
Authors: Ezeifeka Chinwe R. 
Published: September 2016

The paper analyses the thematic structure of two inaugural speeches of Nigerian past leaders using Halliday and Matthiessen’s formulation of the lexicogrammatical feature of Theme located in the textual metafunction in systemic functional grammar. It specifically focuses on the speakers’ strategies of fronting certain lexical items clause-initially to construe certain meanings in favour of others. For instance, the choice of unmarked theme where the subject conflates with the theme are more prevalent in utterances where the speakers would want to take credit for positive actions and audience acknowledgement, or where they would want to assign modal responsibility to their audience for negative actions, while marked theme seem to feature more in cases that are indeterminate, illusive and less than likely to be realizable goals. These choices serve as ideological tools aimed at legitimating the hegemonies of the power elite in order to manufacture the consent of their electorate. The work concludes that the textual metafunction realized in the lexicogrammatical feature of Theme serve as a resource for speakers to manipulate meanings to suit their ideological ends and calls for critical language awareness which locates the work within the critical discourse analysis (CDA) research paradigm.Keywords: Theme, textual metafunction, critical discourse analysis, power, ideology, critical language awareness, topical theme, marked theme, unmarked theme
Development as obligation and the obligation of development: a philosophical reflection on the nation state in Africa
Authors: Ogbenika Gregory , Kehinde Paul Michael 
Published: September 2016

The problem of the relevance of African philosophy to development in Africa arises from the fact that the modern African philosopher faces problems from within and outside his discipline. Specifically how do we build up a social order that can effectively confront Africa’s existential challenges.? How does development become an obligation to the Africans to necessarily carry out? How do we define our obligation of, to, development, given the numerous challenges facing our peoples? This situation is challenging because an inherited foreign colonial legacy obstructs efforts to install primary and prioritized endogenous perspectives for solutions to African problems. The dualistic roles of philosophy both as an academic field and as a thought system generates a crisis of values in African development concerns that we are compelled to tackle by using both the strategies of physical development and moral values for a man centered development.

Igniting Hanuman’s Tail: Hindu and Indian Secular Views on Animal Experimentation
Authors: Swami) Kenneth R. Valpey (Krishna Kshetra 
Published: September 2016

Abstract
Contemporary Indian identification with Hindu traditions (whether more narrowly or broadly conceived) among champions of animal protection often invokes the well-known concept of ahiṁsā (nonviolence) as the moral basis for the position against violence toward nonhuman animals. To foster a more informed comprehension of this notion, this article discusses the complex character of religious practice as presented in the Bhagavad-gītā, the Hindu scripture, to explore how its tenets might meaningfully apply to the practice of animal experimentation.

Abstract
Cardiac cells are subjected to mechanical and electrical forces, which regulate gene expression and cellular function. Therefore, in vitro electromechanical stimuli could benefit further integration of therapeutic cells into the myocardium. Our goals were (a) to study the viability of a tissue-engineered construct with cardiac adipose tissue-derived progenitor cells (cardiac ATDPCs) and (b) to examine the effect of electromechanically stimulated cardiac ATDPCs within a myocardial infarction (MI) model in mice for the first time. Cardiac ATDPCs were electromechanically stimulated at 2-millisecond pulses of 50 mV/cm at 1 Hz and 10% stretching during 7 days. The cells were harvested, labeled, embedded in a fibrin hydrogel, and implanted over the infarcted area of the murine heart. A total of 39 animals were randomly distributed and sacrificed at 21 days: groups of grafts without cells and with stimulated or nonstimulated cells. Echocardiography and gene and protein analyses were also carried out. Physiologically stimulated ATDPCs showed increased expression of cardiac transcription factors, structural genes, and calcium handling genes. At 21 days after implantation, cardiac function (measured as left ventricle ejection fraction between presacrifice and post-MI) increased up to 12% in stimulated grafts relative to nontreated animals. Vascularization and integration with the host blood supply of grafts with stimulated cells resulted in increased vessel density in the infarct border region. Trained cells within the implanted fibrin patch expressed main cardiac markers and migrated into the underlying ischemic myocardium. To conclude, synchronous electromechanical cell conditioning before delivery may be a preferred alternative when considering strategies for heart repair after myocardial infarction.
A religião nas tensões e inquietações da vida: Análise Fenomenológica da experiência religiosa de Santo Agostinho
Authors: Gonçalves Paulo Sérgio Lopes 
Published: September 2016

Objetiva-se neste artigo, apresentar a análise fenomenológico-hermenêutica de Martin Heidegger sobre a religião em Santo Agostinho. Justifica-se este objetivo, o fato de que, tomando por fundamento a obra Phänomenologie des Religiösen Lebens (1920-1921), especificamente a lição intitulada “Augustinismus und Neuplatonismus”, em que analisa o livro X das Confissões de Santo Agostinho, e a obra Ontologie. Hermenutik der Faktizität (1923), em que são apresentados os elementos fundamentais de uma ontologia ou fenomenologia-hermenêutica da facticidade, torna-se possível efetuar uma análise fenomenológico-hermenêutica da religião, inferindo uma concepção dereligião como experiência religiosa. Assim sendo, identificando filosofia com fenomenologia, é definido o conceito de mundo de modo tripartido — mundo de si, mundo dos outros e mundo ambiente —, é explicitada a concepção de história e efetiva-se a análise fenomenológico-hermenêutica da religião com centralidade na faktische Lebenserfahrung. Deste modo, realça-se a relevância da memória para se alcançar a beata vita, as tentações da carne, dos olhos e da soberba, e a importância da categoria curare nas experiências de decadência e de acesso que o homem realiza em sua vida.Serão acrescentados ainda a esta análise, elementos inferidos da leitura da obra A verdadeira Religião (391) do pensador de Hipona, na qual desenvolve também as tentações supra mencionadas, de modo diverso ao livro X das Confissões, mas passível de aplicação da fenomenologia hermenêutica, possibilitando ampliação de análise. Conclui-se que a fenomenologia hermenêutica centra-se na existência compreendida como vida fática para compreender e interpretar a religião como experiência religiosa.
Espiritualidade e religiosidade para estudantes de psicologia: Ambivalências e expressões do vivido
Authors: Pereira Karine Costa Lima , Holanda Adriano Furtado 
Published: September 2016

As relações entre Ciência e Religião na cultura ocidental moderna denotam ambivalências, dissociações e conflitos. Embora a produção em Psicologia da Religião no Brasil seja vasta, a formação acadêmica pouco contempla essa discussão; a temática ainda é tratada de modo distanciado, assunto permanentemente evitado no contexto acadêmico e científico. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar como o estudante de psicologia vivencia as relações entre os conteúdos estudados no curso, o ambiente acadêmico e a própria religiosidade/espiritualidade. O estudo reuniu procedimentos quantitativos e qualitativos: os dados sociodemográficos foram objeto de análise estatística e os relatos analisados com base numa metodologia empírico-fenomenológica. O instrumento foi um questionário estruturado, aplicado a uma população de graduandos em psicologia. Participaram 60 estudantes, dos quais, 30 pertencem a algum grupo religioso, quatro se declaram ateus, cinco agnósticos e 13 acreditam em Deus. A relação entre Psicologia e Religião foi descrita como difícil e complexa, e por vezes, inconciliável no nível teórico-metodológico. O ambiente acadêmico é percebido como um lugar cientificista e sem abertura para discutir religião. Vivências de conflito são experienciadas em sala de aula, no convívio com professores e colegas e em relação aos conteúdos estudados. Vivências de associação ou dissociação entre as crenças e a psicologia aparecem como formas de lidar com o conflito. O estudo salienta a importância da discussão no que tange à experiência religiosa individual do estudante e a formação de psicólogo.
Adaptive neural dynamic surface control of MIMO nonlinear time delay systems with time‐varying actuator failures
Authors: Hashemi Mahnaz 
Published: September 2016

SummaryIn this paper, an adaptive dynamic surface control approach is developed for a class of multi‐input multi‐output nonlinear systems with unknown nonlinearities, bounded time‐varying state delays, and in the presence of time‐varying actuator failures. The type of the considered actuator failure is that some unknown inputs may be stuck at some time‐varying values where the values, times, and patterns of the failures are unknown. The considered actuator failure can cover most failures that may occur in actuators of the systems. With the help of neural networks to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions and combining the dynamic surface control approach with the backstepping design method, a novel control approach is constructed. The proposed design method does not require a priori knowledge of the bounds of the unknown time delays and actuator failures. The boundedness of all the closed‐loop signals is guaranteed, and the tracking errors are proved to converge to a small neighborhood of the origin. The proposed approach is employed for a double inverted pendulums benchmark as well as a chemical reactor system. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Seismic indices – a deep look inside evolved stars
Authors: Mosser B. 
Published: September 2016

AbstractIndependent of stellar modelling, global seismic parameters of red giants provide unique information on the individual stellar properties as well as on stellar evolution. They allow us to measure key stellar parameters, such as the stellar mass and radius, or to derive the distance of field stars. Furthermore, oscillations with a mixed character directly probe the physical conditions in the stellar core. Here, we explain how very precise seismic indices are obtained, and how they can be used for monitoring stellar evolution and performing Galactic archeology.

AbstractStellar models provide a vital basis for many aspects of astronomy and astro‐physics. Recent advances in observational astronomy – through asteroseismology, precision photometry, high‐resolution spectroscopy, and large‐scale surveys – are placing stellar models under greater quantitative scrutiny than ever. The model limitations are being exposed and the next generation of stellar models is needed as soon as possible. The current uncertainties in the models propagate to the later phases of stellar evolution, hindering our understanding of stellar populations and chemical evolution. Here we give a brief overview of the evolution, importance, and substantial uncertainties of core helium burning stars in particular and then briefly discuss a range of methods, both theoretical and observational, that we are using to advance the modelling.
Clues on the Milky Way disc formation from population synthesis simulations
Authors: Robin A. C. , Reylé C. , Bienaymé O. , Fernandez‐Trincado J. G. , Amôres E. B. 
Published: September 2016

AbstractIn recent years the stellar populations of the Milky Way have been investigated from large scale surveys in different ways, from pure star count analysis to detailed studies based on spectroscopic surveys. While in the former case the data can constrain the scale height and scale length thanks to completeness, they suffer from high correlation between these two values. On the other hand, spectroscopic surveys suffer from complex selection functions which hardly allow to derive accurate density distributions. The scale length in particular has been difficult to be constrained, resulting in discrepant values in the literature. Here, we investigate the thick disc characteristics by comparing model simulations with large scale data sets. The simulations are done from the population synthesis model of Besançon. We explore the parameters of the thick disc (shape, local density, age, metallicity) using a Monte Carlo Markov Chain method to constrain the model free parameters (Robin et al. 2014). Correlations between parameters are limited due to the vast spatial coverage of the used surveys (SDSS + 2MASS). We show that the thick disc was created during a long phase of formation, starting about 12 Gyr ago and finishing about 10 Gyr ago, during which gravitational contraction occurred, both vertically and radially. Moreover, in its early phase the thick disc was flaring in the outskirts. We conclude that the thick disc has been created prior to the thin disc during a gravitational collapse phase, slowed down by turbulence related to a high star formation rate, as explained for example in Bournaud et al. (2009) or Lehnert et al. (2009). Our result does not favor a formation from an initial thin disc thickened later by merger events or by secular evolution of the thin disc. We then study the in‐plane distribution of stars in the thin disc from 2MASS and show that the thin disc scale length varies as a function of age, indicating an inside out formation. Moreover, we investigate the warp and flare and demonstrate that the warp amplitude is changing with time and the node angle is slightly precessing. Finally, we show comparisons between the new model and spectroscopic surveys. The new model allows to correctly simulate the kinematics, the metallicity, and α‐abundance distributions in the solar neighbourhood as well as in the bulge region.
