THE COVERING FACTOR OF WARM DUST IN WEAK EMISSION-LINE ACTIVE GALACTIC NUCLEI
Authors: Zhang Xudong , Liu Yuan 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
Weak emission-line active galactic nuclei (WLAGNs) are radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that have nearly featureless optical spectra. We investigate the ultraviolet to mid-infrared spectral energy distributions of 73 WLAGNs (0.4 < z < 3) and find that most of them are similar to normal AGNs. We also calculate the covering factor of warm dust of these 73 WLAGNs. No significant difference is indicated by a KS test between the covering factor of WLAGNs and normal AGNs in the common range of bolometric luminosity. The implication for several models of WLAGNs is discussed. The super-Eddington accretion is unlikely to be the dominant reason for the featureless spectrum of a WLAGN. The present results are still consistent with the evolution scenario, i.e., WLAGNs are in a special stage of AGNs.

ABSTRACT
It is believed that type II radio bursts are generated by shock waves. In order to understand the generation conditions of type II radio bursts, we analyze the physical parameters of a shock front. The type II radio burst we selected was observed by the Siberian Solar Radio Telescope (SSRT) and Learmonth radio station and was associated with a limb coronal mass ejection (CME) occurring on 2014 January 8 observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory. The evolution of the CME in the inner corona presents a double-layered structure that propagates outward. We fit the outer layer (OL) of the structure with a partial circle and divide it into seven directions from −45° to 45° with an angular separation of 15°. We measure the OL speed along the seven directions and find that the speed in the direction of −15° with respect to the central direction is the fastest. We use the differential emission measure method to calculate the physical parameters at the OL at the moment when the type II radio burst was initiated, including the temperature (T), emission measure (EM), temperature ratio (

), compression ratio (X), and Alfvén Mach number (M
A). We compare the quantities X and M
A to those obtained from band-splitting in the radio spectrum, and find that this type II radio burst is generated at a small region of the OL that is located at the sector in the 45° direction. The results suggest that the generation of type II radio bursts (shocks) requires larger values of X and M
A rather than simply a higher speed of the disturbance.
COMPARISON OF DIVERSITY OF TYPE IIB SUPERNOVAE WITH ASYMMETRY IN CASSIOPEIA A USING LIGHT ECHOES
Authors: Finn Kieran , Bianco Federica B. , Modjaz Maryam , Liu Yu-Qian , Rest Armin 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We compare the diversity of spectral line velocities in a large sample of type IIb supernovae (SNe IIb) with the expected asphericity in the explosion, as measured from the light echoes (LEs) of Cassiopeia A (Cas A), which was a historical galactic SN IIb. We revisit the results of Rest et al., who used LEs to observe Cas A from multiple lines of sight and hence determine its asphericity, as seen in the velocity of three spectral lines (He i
λ5876, Hα, and the Ca ii near-infrared (NIR) triplet). We confirm and improve on this measurement by reproducing the effect of the LEs in the spectra of several extragalactic SNe IIb found in the literature as well as mean SN IIb spectra recently created by Liu et al. and comparing these to the observed light echo spectra of Cas A, including their associated uncertainties. In order to quantify the accuracy of this comparison, we smooth the light echo spectra of Cas A using Gaussian processes and use a Monte Carlo method to measure the absorption velocities of these three features in the spectra. We then test the hypothesis that the diversity of ejecta velocities seen in SNe IIb can be explained by asphericity. We do this by comparing the range of velocities seen in the different LEs, and hence different lines of sight, of Cas A to that seen in the population of SNe IIb. We conclude that these two ranges are of the same order and thus asphericity could be enough to explain the diversity in the expansion velocity alone.
MAGNETIC DIAGNOSTICS OF THE SOLAR CHROMOSPHERE WITH THE Mg II h–k LINES
Authors: del Pino Alemán T. , Casini R. , Manso Sainz R. 
Published: October 2016

ABSTRACT
We investigated the formation of the Mg ii h–k doublet in a weakly magnetized atmosphere (20–100 G) using a newly developed numerical code for polarized radiative transfer in a plane-parallel geometry, which implements a recent formulation of partially coherent scattering by polarized multi-term atoms in arbitrary magnetic-field regimes. Our results confirm the importance of partial redistribution effects in the formation of the Mg ii h and k lines, as pointed out by previous work in the non-magnetic case. We show that the presence of a magnetic field can produce measurable modifications of the broadband linear polarization even for relatively small field strengths (∼10 G), while the circular polarization remains well represented by the classical magnetograph formula. Both these results open an important new window for the weak-field diagnostics of the upper solar atmosphere.
Accentuation et niveaux de constituance en français : enjeux phonologiques et psycholinguistiques
Authors: Astésano Corine , Bertrand Roxane 
Published: October 2016

Nous proposons de discuter des caractéristiques prosodiques du français sur la base d’une analyse métrique et perceptive de corpus de parole variés. Nos résultats nous conduisent à proposer le niveau du mot prosodique (pw) comme niveau de représentation de l’accentuation du français. Cette proposition forte, jusque-là jamais attestée empiriquement, est fondée sur deux résultats majeurs : la capacité des sujets à percevoir une proéminence finale indépendamment de la frontière intonative, à tous les niveaux de constituance ; la perception et le traitement de l’accentuation, notamment initiale, au niveau le plus bas de la constituance prosodique (pw) . La démarcation accentuelle bipolaire du mot lexical en surface nous invite à réinterpréter le statut de l’accentuation en français et à mettre en doute la notion de surdité accentuelle en français.
École d’Aix et approches tonales de l’intonation du français : un aperçu des recherches depuis les années 1970
Authors: D’Imperio Mariapaola , Michelas Amandine , Portes Cristel 
Published: October 2016

Cet article a pour objectif d’expliciter le lien direct qui existe entre les travaux en prosodie menés aujourd’hui à Aix-en-Provence et les travaux qui ont été conduits depuis les années 70 par ce que l’on appelait alors « l’École d’Aix en Prosodie ». Ce lien sera établi au moyen de trois notions principales : les notions de cible tonale , de constituance prosodique et d’ interface entre la prosodie et les autres niveaux de la grammaire.
Le français du Midi : une variété de français à accent lexical
Authors: Sichel-Bazin Rafèu 
Published: October 2016

Le français est traditionnellement décrit comme une langue sans accent de mot. L’accentuation est considérée marquer, de façon post-lexicale, les frontières – obligatoirement à droite et optionnellement à gauche – d’une unité prosodique, le groupe accentuel (ou Accentual Phrase , AP), qui peut contenir plusieurs mots lexicaux. Le français du Midi s’est développé au contact de l’occitan, une langue à accent lexical distinctif. Ce contact a conduit à une convergence entre les systèmes prosodiques des deux langues. D’un côté, l’occitan a adopté l’AP, avec ses accents final et initial, et l’accent de mot s’est affaibli, n’étant marqué que de façon optionnelle par une montée tonale à l’intérieur de l’AP. De l’autre, le français du Midi conserve des reliques d’accent de mot : il est possible d’observer des montées tonales sur la dernière syllabe pleine de mots de contenu à l’intérieur de l’AP, ce qui n’est pas le cas en français du Nord.
Une analyse multidimensionnelle du phrasé prosodique des adjectifs en français
Authors: Avanzi Mathieu , Brognaux Sandrine 
Published: October 2016

Dans la littérature, la question de savoir quelles sont les contraintes qui permettent de prédire si un SN comprenant un nom et un adjectif constitue un seul ou deux groupes accentuels n’est toujours pas résolue, de même que la question de savoir comment interagissent ces contraintes. Le but de cette étude est d’évaluer le rôle des variables syntaxiques, métriques, réalisationnelles, lexicales, idiolectales, sociales et stylistiques qui pèsent sur le phrasé prosodique des suites syntagmatiques composées d’un adjectif et d’un nom en français. Pour ce faire, nous conduisons une analyse de régression impliquant plus d’une dizaine de prédicteurs et plus de 3 000 clusters extraits d’un corpus d’une durée de 13 h, annoté à différents niveaux et échantillonné pour étudier la variation régionale et stylistique en français.
De l’atelier au musée, le musée-atelier, les ambiguïtés d’un genre muséal singulier
Authors: de Font-Réaulx Dominique 
Published: October 2016

Lieux souvent charmants, les musées-ateliers n’ont, jusqu’à maintenant, jamais fait l’objet d’un travail de recherches approfondi. Fort peu de mémoires et d’études universitaires ont été, en effet, consacrés aux musées-ateliers, comme institutions. L’usage est de les confondre avec les maisons d’écrivains, avec les demeures d’hommes célèbres, effaçant ainsi souvent la dimension de la collection, la part du musée dans l’atelier. La plupart des ouvrages qui leur ont été dédiés furent soit militants, en défense de l’artiste dont l’œuvre était ainsi préservée, oblitérant la réflexion sur le lieu et sa destination en tant que tels ; soit, le plus souvent, se focalisant sur la seule magie du lieu , sans pour autant la définir ou la caractériser, ni justifier des choix qui auraient conduit à son maintien ou à son développement, aux bénéfices de la communauté publique. Cet article, fondé sur un programme de recherches initié au musée Eugène-Delacroix, tente de mettre en évidence les ambiguïtés ontologiques de ces institutions, tout à la fois lieux de mémoire, lieux de vie et musées.
Les pharaons au musée : le regard des voyageurs français en Égypte à la fin du xix e siècle
Authors: Moussa Sarga 
Published: October 2016

Créé par Mariette et ouvert au public en 1863, le Musée de Boulaq, dont les collections sont ensuite transférées au Palais de Gizeh puis au Musée égyptien, devient l’une des « curiosités » des voyageurs français en Égypte à la fin du xix e siècle. Cette plongée dans le passé pharaonique a des enjeux esthétiques et idéologiques : qu’il s’agisse d’affirmer la prééminence de l’art européen ou au contraire de montrer que les Pharaons sont des maîtres en matière d’ imitatio , des voyageurs égyptologues (Rhoné), historiens de l’art (Blanc), archéologues (Saulcy), journalistes (Alis), etc., montrent ce qu’un des premiers musées archéologiques extra-européens peut susciter comme controverses – mais aussi comme expérience existentielle, telle celle que raconte Loti, qui visite la salle des momies, de nuit, sous la conduite de Maspero, en 1907.
Suicide et enthousiasme chez Germaine de Staël
Authors: Foerster Maxime 
Published: October 2016

Le présent article vise à démontrer l’étendue de l’originalité de la pensée de Germaine de Staël sur le suicide dans ses Réflexions sur le suicide . Régulièrement abordé par Staël tout au long de son œuvre, dans ses fictions et ses essais, le suicide est finalement théorisé d’une façon inédite à la fin de sa vie. Le concept d’enthousiasme est mobilisé pour proposer une sagesse du « savoir-souffrir » qui permet de dépasser la tentation du suicide par le consentement à la négativité de l’existence. Ce traitement enthousiaste de la souffrance et l’adhésion au destin anticipent le concept d’ amor fati tel qu’il sera repris plus tard par Nietzsche.
Intervention Promoting Medication Adherence: A Randomized, Phase I, Small-N Study
Authors: Schwartz Jaclyn K. , Smith Roger O. 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Many people with chronic health conditions fail to take their medications as prescribed, resulting in declines in health and function. The purpose of this study was to perform a Phase I feasibility study to understand whether an integrated occupational therapy intervention could help people with chronic health conditions improve their adherence to medications.
METHOD. Using a small-N design, we report single-subject analyses of the medication adherence of 11 participants before and after either an occupational therapy intervention or a standard care intervention. We used a multiple baseline approach with intersubject replication and blinding.
RESULTS. The occupational therapy intervention was found to decrease performance variability and to increase medication adherence rates in some people with chronic conditions.
CONCLUSION. These findings suggest that an occupational therapy intervention can improve medication adherence in people with chronic health conditions. The intervention tested in this study is feasible and would benefit from further research.
The Prepared Mind
Authors: Garber Susan L. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractEvery day, in clinics and hospitals around the world, occupational therapists care for patients with serious problems requiring viable solutions. Each patient is unique, and his or her problem does not necessarily correspond to existing practice models. Practitioners must adapt standard approaches to provide effective outcomes, yet problems exist for which few or no beneficial approaches have been identified. Such clinical issues require solutions to be generated de novo from the practitioner’s body of knowledge and past experience. Yet, no single new intervention can be used without prior validation of its efficacy. Only a therapist with a prepared mind can accept such challenges, recognize what is known and not yet known, design studies to acquire that needed knowledge, and translate it into successful clinical treatment strategies. The occupational therapist with a prepared mind is one willing to seize unexpected opportunities and construct new paradigms of practice. Innovation through scientific inquiry requires a prepared mind.
Utopianism in today’s health care
Authors: De Dijn Herman 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Utopias are much more prone to realization than people would have thought possible, according to Berdiaeff. In the twentieth century, we have witnessed realized totalitarian utopias (such as the ‘really existing socialism’ in East Germany). In the twenty-first century, late modern, capitalist society seems well under way towards the construction of another kind of realized utopianism. Recent developments in today’s health care system (changes in the very meaning of health and care, in medicine and nursing, and even in the ethics of care) all point in the same direction: the growing hold of the utopian mind (the expression is Kolnai’s) on crucial aspects of human life and society. Must we not agree with Berdiaeff that insight in the new ‘realized’ utopianism should induce us to dream ‘of a non-utopian society less “perfect”, but more free’?
Utopianism and its discontents
Authors: Kloeg Julien 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Utopianism is often rejected out of hand for one of two reasons: either it is thought to be politically dangerous, or it is thought to be a mere fantasy. It is nevertheless an important theme in contemporary political philosophy. This article reviews part of the political-philosophical career of ‘utopia’ as a concept by considering the different traditions that have been influential in shaping the way utopia and utopianism are perceived today. A brief reading of Thomas More’s Utopia is followed by a consideration of the utopian socialist tradition and Karl Marx’s criticism of it. Their understanding of utopia continued into the twentieth century. Utopianism’s bad reputation is partly due to its association with the attempt to realize communism in the Soviet Union, but other factors include the Eastonian empirical turn in political theory and the onset of postmodern incredulity. It made a perhaps surprising comeback in the work of John Rawls, whose work was recently criticized by Amartya Sen for being overly ‘utopian’ – a criticism that is highly analogous to Marx’s onslaught against the utopian socialists. With the help of counterarguments devised by Pablo Gilabert, the article considers three ways in which utopianism can be useful to contemporary political thought.
An overview of the use of Facebook in National Weather Services
Authors: Palacio Virginia , Principe Olatz , Martija Maialen , Gaztelumendi Santiago 
Published: October 2016

Abstract. National Meteorological Services (NMSs) use different "classical" tools in order to diffuse meteorological information, including television, radio, newspaper, phone, e-mail and websites. In recent years, new communication technologies and, in particular, the rapid expansion of Facebook allows users to efficiently exchange information and to easily share it with a large part of the population. Facebook is one of the most used social networks and it represents a perfect virtual platform to share information and to promote active and immediate interaction amongst users. This is why many NMSs develop new communication strategies and incorporate this tool for different purposes. Some NMSs not only provide forecast, real-time observed data and other routine information, but they also upload videos (for example, with the weatherperson explaining the forecast or short reports) and amazing pictures taken by followers. In addition, they also give educational and didactic information (above all about climatic issues) and organize photographic competitions. In this paper, firstly, we investigate when Facebook was introduced in different NMSs worldwide as an additional tool for the diffusion of meteorological information. Then, we propose a classification of these NMSs based on the success of their Facebook page, i.e. on the number of followers. Finally, we select some representative cases of NMSs and we analyze how Facebook is used to improve their services.

Abstract. Modelling the development of soils in glacier forefields is necessary in order to assess how microbial and geochemical processes interact and shape soil development in response to glacier retreat. Furthermore, such models can help us predict microbial growth and the fate of Arctic soils in an increasingly ice-free future. Here, for the first time, we combined field sampling with laboratory analyses and numerical modelling to investigate microbial community dynamics in oligotrophic proglacial soils in Svalbard. We measured low bacterial growth rates and growth efficiencies (relative to estimates from Alpine glacier forefields) and high sensitivity of bacterial growth rates to soil temperature (relative to temperate soils). We used these laboratory measurements to inform parameter values in a new numerical model and significantly refined predictions of microbial and biogeochemical dynamics of soil development over a period of roughly 120 years. The model predicted the observed accumulation of autotrophic and heterotrophic biomass. Genomic data indicated that initial microbial communities were dominated by bacteria derived from the glacial environment, whereas older soils hosted a mixed community of autotrophic and heterotrophic bacteria. This finding was simulated by the numerical model, which showed that active microbial communities play key roles in fixing and recycling carbon and nutrients. We also demonstrated the role of allochthonous carbon and microbial necromass in sustaining a pool of organic material, despite high heterotrophic activity in older soils. This combined field, laboratory, and modelling approach demonstrates the value of integrated model–data studies to understand and quantify the functioning of the microbial community in an emerging High Arctic soil ecosystem.
Statues Also Die
Authors: Fraiture Pierre-Philippe 
Published: October 2016

“African thinking,” “African thought,” and “African philosophy.” These phrases are often used indiscriminately to refer to intellectual activities in and/or about Africa. This large field, which sits at the crossroads between analytic philosophy, continental thought, political philosophy and even linguistics is apparently limitless in its ability to submit the object “Africa” to a multiplicity of disciplinary approaches. This absence of limits has far-reaching historical origins. Indeed it needs to be understood as a legacy of the period leading to African independence and to the context in which African philosophy emerged not so much as a discipline as a point of departure to think colonial strictures and the constraints of colonial modes of thinking. That the first (self-appointed) exponents of African philosophy were Westerners speaks volumes. Placide Tempels but also some of his predecessors such as Paul Radin (Primitive Man as Philosopher, 1927) and Vernon Brelsford (Primitive Philosophy, 1935) were the first scholars to envisage this extension of philosophy into the realm of the African “primitive.” The material explored in this article – Statues Also Die (Marker, Resnais, and Cloquet), Bantu Philosophy (Tempels), The Cultural Unity of Negro Africa (Cheikh Anta Diop), and It For Others (Duncan Campbell) - resonates with this initial gesture but also with the ambition on part of African philosophers such as VY Mudimbe to challenge the limits of a discipline shaped by late colonialism and then subsequently recaptured by ethnophilosophers. Statues Also Die is thus used here as a text to appraise the limitations of African philosophy at an early stage. The term “stage,” however, is purely arbitrary and the work of African philosophers has since the 1950s often been absorbed by an effort to retrieve African philosophizing practices before, or away from, the colonial matrix. This activity has gained momentum and has been characterized by an ambition to excavate and identify figures and traditions that had hitherto remained unacknowledged: from Ptah-hotep in ancient Egypt (Obenga 1973, 1990) and North-African Church fathers such as Saint Augustine, Tertullian and Arnobius of Sicca (Mudimbe and Nkashama 1977), to “falsafa”-practising Islamic thinkers (Diagne 2008; Jeppie and Diagne 2008), from the Ethiopian tradition of Zera Yacob and Walda Heywat (Sumner 1976), to Anton-Wilhelm Arno, the Germany-trained but Ghana-born Enlightenment philosopher (Hountondji [1983] 1996).
