A Study of Cultures Using Chinese Characters and their Impact on Translation Studies
Authors: Kim Hye-Rim 
Published: February 2016

Les études de traduction doivent viser à devenir une science comportementale. Autrement dit, la recherche de la méthodologie de traduction ou la présentation de la théorie de traduction aura une signification seulement si elle est capable de remplir le rôle auxiliaire à l’activité de traduction. Ainsi les études de traduction chercheront à soulever les questions liées aux travaux de traduction et y proposer des solutions.
C’est donc dans ce contexte que cette thèse propose de présenter une méthodologie qui pourra être appliquée à l’interprétation et à la traduction du coréen et du chinois — deux langues qui utilisent en commun les caractères chinois — en soulevant les difficultés qui existent, en les classifiant et en les conceptualisant. Pour cela, en se basant sur les nombreux textes de conférence, les difficultés de traduction dues à l’usage des lettres chinoises ont été traitées en profondeur à travers: (1) l’analyse de la déverbalisation, (2) la compréhension et la reproduction du texte langue, et (3) la redéfinition du nom propre. A partir de cette analyse, cette thèse élabore une stratégie pour exclure toute intervention de la culture linguistique à travers: (1) la traduction basée sur une connaissance correcte, (2) l’amélioration de la capacité linguistique, (3) l’établissement de la terminologie spécialisée, et (4) l’approche éducative.
Is science like a crossword puzzle? Foundherentist conceptions of scientific warrant
Authors: Peels Rik 
Published: February 2016

AbstractThis paper argues that the crossword puzzle analogy is great for scientific rationality, but not scientific warrant. It provides a critical analysis of foundherentist conceptions of scientific warrant, especially that of Susan Haack, and closely related positions, such as non-doxastic coherentism. Foundherentism takes the middle ground between foundationalism and coherentism. The main idea is that warrant, including that of scientific theories, is like warrant of crossword entries: the degree to which a theory is warranted depends on one’s observations, the extent to which it coheres with one’s other scientific theories and whether one’s evidence includes a sufficiently large portion of the relevant evidence. I identify three problems for a foundherentist conception of scientific warrant, two of which are also problems for the image of science as a crossword puzzle. First, Haack’s conceptions of personal and social warrant of scientific theories are incompatible. Second, the notion of warrant defeaters is crucial to any account of warrant, but foundherentism cannot accommodate certain warrant defeaters. Third, Haack’s treatment of inconsistent evidence renders her account of social warrant for scientific theories implausible. Finally, I suggest that switching from the objective notion of warrant to the subjective notion of rationality might save foundherentism about scientific theories and the image of science as a crossword puzzle. I also draw lessons for social epistemology generally by applying the distinction between warrant and rationality to non-doxastic coherentism and Paul Faulkner’s hybrid theory of testimonial warrant.
Lumbopelvic muscle activation patterns in adolescent fast bowlers
Authors: Forrest Mitchell , Hecimovich Mark , Dempsey Alasdair 
Published: February 2016

AbstractIntroduction: Adolescent fast bowlers are prone to sustaining lumbar injuries. Numerous components have been identified as contributing factors; however, there is limited empirical evidence outlining how the muscles of the lumbopelvic region, which play a vital role in stabilising the spine, function during the bowling action and the influence of such activation on injuries in the fast bowler. Methods: Surface electromyography was utilised to measure the function of the lumbar erector spinae, lumbar multifidus, gluteus medius and gluteus maximus muscles bilaterally during the fast bowling action in a group of 35 cricket fast bowlers aged 12–16 years. Results: Two prominent periods of activation occurred in each of the muscles examined. The period of greatest mean activation in the erector spinae and multifidus occurred near back foot contact (BFC) and within the post‐ball‐release (BR) phase. The period of greatest mean activation for the gluteus medius and gluteus maximus occurred during phases of ipsilateral foot contact. Discussion: The greatest periods of muscle activation in the paraspinal and gluteal muscles occurred at times where vertical forces were high such as BFC, and in the phases near BR where substantial shear forces are present. Conclusion: The posterior muscles within the lumbopelvic region appear to play a prominent role during the bowling action, specifically when compressive and shear forces are high. Further research is required to substantiate these findings and establish the role of the lumbopelvic muscles in the aetiology of lumbar injury in the cricket fast bowler.
Effects of different weight loss intervention programmes in health clubs – an observational multicenter study
Authors: Wanjek Markus , Senner Veit , Scharhag‐Rosenberger Friederike , Halle Martin 
Published: February 2016

AbstractThis study aimed at comparing the effectiveness of three lifestyle intervention programmes in health clubs “exercise only” (E), “exercise plus nutritional counselling” (E + NC), and “exercise plus weight loss program” (E + WLP) on weight loss under real‐life conditions. An observational multicenter study including 788 overweight/obese new customers of 95 health clubs in Germany was performed. Participants chose E (n = 512, 38 ± 14 year, BMI 30.4 ± 4.7 kg/m2), E + NC (n = 179, 42 ± 14 year, BMI 31.7 ± 4.5 kg/m2), or E + WLP (n = 97, 40 ± 11 year, BMI 31.6 ± 5.1 kg/m2). Anthropometric data, energy expenditure, and energy intake were assessed at baseline and after 3 months. All groups significantly reduced body weight (E: −1.5 ± 2.9 kg, E + NC: −3.4 ± 3.6 kg, E + WLP: −5.5 ± 4.3 kg, p < .001 within and between groups) and body fat (E: −1.2 ± 2.4%, E + NC: −2.0 ± 2.4%, E + WLP: −3.1 ± 2.5%, p < .001 within and between groups). However, only E + WLP achieved a clinically significant weight loss of −5.9 ± 3.9%. Exercise energy expenditure increased and energy intake decreased significantly in all groups (p < .001), but to different extents. This investigation suggests that under field conditions exercise plus dietary interventions are more effective for weight loss than exercise alone. The benefits of E + WLP emphasize that interventions even performed by health clubs may elicit clinically relevant weight loss in overweight and obese new customers and can therefore be recommended.

Lanthanide (Ln)-doped yttrium thiosilicate (Y1−x

)4(SiS4)3, the green photoluminescence band corresponding to the intra 4f transition of 5D4  →  7F5 appears at 545 nm and becomes the maximum for x  =  0.2 in the range x  =  0.01 to 1. The internal quantum efficiency is higher (11% for x  =  0.01) for the thiosilicate host excitation (360 nm) than for the direct excitation (1.6%) of the intra 4f transition of 5D4  ←  7F6 (489 nm). A time-resolved photoluminescence study shows that the luminescence of defect states of thiosilicate hosts decays faster (typically 10–30 ns) for higher Tb3+ concentration x. In addition, the rise time of Tb3+ photoluminescence is shorter (10–40 ns) for greater x. Energy transfer from the thiosilicate host to Tb3+ is discussed using these results. For all of (Y1−x

A photoluminescence excitation study reveals broad host absorption in 300–400 nm for Ln luminescence. These results show the promising characteristics of the host absorption of (Y1−x

The nature of graphene–metal bonding probed by Raman spectroscopy: the special case of cobalt

Abstract
The nature of graphene–metal bonding is crucial for the performance of graphene-based electronic devices. Raman spectroscopy is a powerful technique for probing the electronic behaviour of graphene–metal interfaces. The changes in the Raman spectrum of pristine graphene upon contact with standard metal layers are reported here. In particular, the study is focused on metallization by electron-beam evaporation using chromium or titanium (commonly used as an adhesion layer to improve the bonding of other metals such as gold) and nickel or cobalt (ferromagnetic materials used for spintronics). The results obtained indicate that the main changes in the Raman spectra can be explained in terms of a biaxial strain generated by graphene trying to match the crystalline lattice of the metal. In the case of cobalt, we find that the strong binding of some cobalt atoms to graphene generates a spectrum with a duplication of the characteristic graphene peaks: those corresponding to cobalt physisorbed to graphene and those corresponding to cobalt chemisorbed to graphene, strongly redshifted. Such special behaviour of the graphene–cobalt interface is correlated to the low contact resistance and the enhanced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of cobalt on graphene.
Interactions between ageing error and selectivity in statistical catch-at-age models: simulations and implications for assessment of the Chilean Patagonian toothfish fishery

Published: February 2016

Abstract
In age-structured fisheries stock assessments, ageing errors within age composition data can lead to biased mortality rate and year-class strength estimates. These errors may be further compounded where fishery-dependent age composition data are influenced by temporal changes in fishery selectivity and selectivity misspecification. In this study, we investigated how ageing error within age composition data interacts with time-varying fishery selectivity and selectivity misspecification to affect estimates derived from a statistical catch-at-age (SCA) model that used fishery-dependent data. We tested three key model parameters: average unfished recruitment (R0), spawning stock depletion (Dfinal), and fishing mortality in the terminal year (Fterminal). The Patagonian toothfish (Dissostichus eleginoides) fishery in southern Chile was used as a case study. Age composition data used to assess this fishery were split into two sets based on scale (1989–2006) and otolith (2007–2012) readings, where the scale readings show clear age-truncation effects. We used a simulation-estimation approach to examine the bias and precision of parameter estimates under various combinations of ageing error, selectivity type (asymptotic or dome-shaped), selectivity misspecification, and variation in selectivity over time. Generally, ageing error led to overly optimistic perceptions of current fishery status relative to historical reference points. Ageing error generated imprecise and positively biased estimates of R0 (range 10 to &gt;200%), Dfinal (range −20 to &gt;100%), and Fterminal (range −15 to &gt;150%). The bias in Dfinal and R0 was more severe when selectivity was dome-shaped. Time-varying selectivity (both asymptotic and dome-shaped) increased the bias in Dfinal and Fterminal, but decreased the bias in R0. The effect of ageing error was more severe, or was masked, with selectivity misspecification. Correcting the ageing error inside the SCA reduced bias and improved precision of estimated parameters .
Decision Comfort
Authors: Parker Jeffrey R. , Lehmann Donald R. , Xie Yi 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Contemporary consumer behavior research largely conceptualizes post-decision evaluation processes in terms of decision confidence, anticipated regret and satisfaction, and decision and consumption satisfaction. The current research broadens this view, arguing that people additionally experience varying degrees of decision comfort that are distinct from other post-decision evaluations. The authors argue that comfort is a soft-positive emotion thus far unexamined in relation to decision processes and present nine studies that (1) develop and validate two scales to measure decision comfort, (2) demonstrate the discriminant validity of decision comfort relative to numerous other post-decision constructs, and (3) examine the unique downstream consequences of decision comfort. The results show that an individual may be quite comfortable with a decision despite being uncertain about the optimality and/or the anticipated consequences of that decision (e.g., satisfaction or regret). It is demonstrated that decision comfort responds to affect-relevant cues and tends to rely less on comparisons between the chosen and foregone options (i.e., it tends to be a less comparative evaluation). Decision comfort is also shown to account for a sizable proportion of consumers’ overall decision evaluations and to have meaningful downstream consequences on marketing-relevant variables (e.g., choice commitment and the likelihood of recommending).
Olfactory contacts mediate plasticity in male aggression with variable male density
Authors: Hughes Nelika K. , Banks Peter B. 
Published: February 2016

Abstract
Males typically adjust their reproductive strategies based on the perceived density and relative abilities of nearby competitors. In high-density populations, repeated encounters facilitate reliable, learned associations between individuals and their relative competitive abilities. In contrast, opportunities to form such associations are limited when densities are low or in flux, increasing the risk that individuals will unintentionally engage in potentially costly interactions with higher-quality or aggressive opponents. To maximize their fitness, individuals in low-density and fluctuating populations therefore need a general way to assess their current social environment, and thus their relative competitive ability. Here, we investigate how olfactory social signals (scent marks) might perform this function. We manipulated the perceived social environment of isolated, male house mice ( Mus domesticus ) via their periodic contact with scent marks from 3 or 9 male conspecifics, or a control of no scents, over 15 days. We then paired them with an unknown opponent and examined how the diversity of recent scent contact mediated their behavior towards dominant or subordinate opponents. There was an overall pattern for increasing scent diversity to significantly reduce male mice’s aggression (tail rattling and lunging) towards their opponents, and also their willingness to engage in reciprocal investigation. Such cautiousness was not indicative of perceived subordinance, however; the diversity of recent scent contact did not affect mice’s investigation of their opponent’s scents, and some measures of aggression were greater when mice faced dominant opponents. These results suggest that house mice can use scent signals to assess their current social environment in the absence of physical interactions, modifying their behavior in ways that are predicted to reduce their risks of injury when the likelihood of encountering unknown opponents increases.

Published: February 2016

Abstract
Pale foxes ( Vulpes pallida ) have a widespread distribution across the Saharan-Sahel in northern Africa, but little is known about their ecology and natural history. Here, we provide the 1st ecological information on the species. We captured and radio-collared 10 pale foxes in the Termit & Tin Toumma National Nature and Cultural Reserve of east Niger. The adult body mass (1.20 ± SD 0.18kg, n = 6) was about half of what was previously reported, confirming this species as one of the smallest canids in the world. Body measurements were relatively similar between sexes, suggesting little if any sexual dimorphism. Mean ± SD home range size ( n = 6) was 6.79±3.58 km 2 using 100% minimum convex polygon and 5.62±3.11 km 2 using 95% fixed kernel density estimator. Overlap between adjacent pale fox ranges was generally low (mean overlap index = 0.11±0.22), with nearly exclusive core areas (mean overlap index = 0.02±0.06), suggesting pale foxes are territorial. Overall, the spatial ecology of pale foxes showed similar characteristics to other Vulpes species, especially those inhabiting arid and semiarid environments.
Building a Clinical Research Network in Trauma Orthopaedics: The Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC)
Authors:   The Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC)
Published: February 2016

Objectives:
Lessons learned from battle have been fundamental to advancing the care of injuries that occur in civilian life. Equally important is the need to further refine these advances in civilian practice, so they are available during future conflicts. The Major Extremity Trauma Research Consortium (METRC) was established to address these needs.

Methods:
METRC is a network of 22 core level I civilian trauma centers and 4 core military treatment centers—with the ability to expand patient recruitment to more than 30 additional satellite trauma centers for the purpose of conducting multicenter research studies relevant to the treatment and outcomes of orthopaedic trauma sustained in the military. Early measures of success of the Consortium pertain to building of an infrastructure to support the network, managing the regulatory process, and enrolling and following patients in multiple studies.

Results:
METRC has been successful in maintaining the engagement of several leading, high volume, level I trauma centers that form the core of METRC; together they operatively manage 15,432 major fractures annually. METRC is currently funded to conduct 18 prospective studies that address 6 priority areas. The design and implementation of these studies are managed through a single coordinating center. As of December 1, 2015, a total of 4560 participants have been enrolled.

Conclusions:
Success of METRC to date confirms the potential for civilian and military trauma centers to collaborate on critical research issues and leverage the strength that comes from engaging patients and providers from across multiple centers.
Congenital Sodium Diarrhea
Authors: Janecke Andreas R. , Heinz‐Erian Peter , Müller Thomas 
Published: February 2016

ABSTRACTCongenital diarrheal disorders (CDDs) represent a group of challenging clinical conditions for pediatricians because of the severity of the presentation and the broad range of possible differential diagnoses. CDDs arise from alterations in the transport of nutrients and electrolytes across the intestinal mucosa, from enterocyte and enteroendocrine cell differentiation and/or polarization defects, and from the modulation of the intestinal immune response. Advances were made recently in deciphering the etiology and pathophysiology of one of these disorders, congenital sodium diarrhea (CSD). CSD refers to an intractable diarrhea of intrauterine onset with high fecal sodium loss. CSD is clinically and genetically heterogeneous. A syndromic form of CSD features choanal and intestinal atresias as well as recurrent corneal erosions. Small bowel histology frequently detects an epithelial “tufting” dysplasia. It is autosomal recessively inherited, and caused by SPINT2 mutations. The nonsyndromic form of CSD can be caused by dominant activating mutations in GUCY2C, encoding intestinal receptor guanylate cyclase C (GC‐C), and by autosomal recessive SLC9A3 loss‐of‐function mutations. SLC9A3 encodes Na+/H+ antiporter 3, the major intestinal brush border Na+/H+ exchanger, and a downstream target of GC‐C. A number of patients with GUCY2C and SLC9A3 mutations developed inflammatory bowel disease. Both the number of recognized CDD forms as well as the number of underlying disease genes are gradually increasing. Knowledge of these CDD genes enables noninvasive, next‐generation gene panel‐based testing to facilitate an early diagnosis in CDD. Primary Na+/H+ antiporter 3 and GC‐C malfunction is implicated as a predisposition for inflammatory bowel disease in subset of patients.
Punctuated evolution and transitional hybrid network in an ancestral cell cycle of fungi

Published: February 2016

AbstractAlthough cell cycle control is an ancient, conserved, and essential process, some core animal and fungal cell cycle regulators share no more sequence identity than non-homologous proteins. Here, we show that evolution along the fungal lineage was punctuated by the early acquisition and entrainment of the SBF transcription factor through horizontal gene transfer. Cell cycle evolution in the fungal ancestor then proceeded through a hybrid network containing both SBF and its ancestral animal counterpart E2F, which is still maintained in many basal fungi. We hypothesize that a virally-derived SBF may have initially hijacked cell cycle control by activating transcription via the cis-regulatory elements targeted by the ancestral cell cycle regulator E2F, much like extant viral oncogenes. Consistent with this hypothesis, we show that SBF can regulate promoters with E2F binding sites in budding yeast.
Libertarianism, slavery and just taxation
Authors: Svoboda Vladimír 
Published: February 2016

Purpose– The paper addresses the question as to what kind of a redistribution of wealth created within a society is righteous. It aims to show that philosophically motivated libertarian economic conceptions of justice designed to rationalize the unacceptability of progressive taxation – in particular conceptions of the Nozick type – are built on questionable bases because their proponents neglect facts that play a key role in the socio-economic reality of modern Western societies.Design/methodology/approach– The paper presents critical evaluation of one of the cornerstones of the libertarian conception of economical justice. It makes use of a model example.Findings– The scholars who approve of the regime of limited responsibility for the consequences of economic failure and yet make a claim for the unlimited fruit of one’s economic success adopt a problematic position that is internally incoherent.Originality/value– The argumentation against the Nozick type arguments against progressive taxation is, as far as the author knows, original.
