Los Césares. Los modelos históricos de Juliano = The Caesars. The Historic Models of Julian
Authors: Díaz Bourgeal Marina 
Published: December 2017

En este artículo analizamos la búsqueda de modelos imperiales en el pasado por parte del emperador Juliano en su obra Los Césares. En primer lugar, comentamos algunos aspectos formales del texto y lo resumimos. Después estudiamos la imagen que da Juliano de tres de los cinco emperadores escogidos para el certamen en el que los dioses elegirían al mejor de los Césares basándonos en la importancia de los valores que encarnan los tres para el proyecto político de Juliano. Por último, analizamos el sentido de la obra y el significado de esos modelos para Juliano. In this article, we analyse Emperor Julian’s search for imperial models in the past in his work The Caesars. First, we discuss some formal aspects of the text and we summarize it. Then, we study the image Julian gives of three of the five emperors selected for the contest in which the gods would choose the best of the Caesars, focusing on the importance of the values these emperors represent for Julian’s political project and for the elites which were probably the intended audience of this speech. Finally, we consider the meaning of the text and the meaning of these models for Julian.
De Gibbon a Riegl. Una nota sobre los precedentes historiográficos del «descubrimiento» de la Antigüedad Tardía = From Gibbon to Riegl. A Note on the Historiographical Precedents of the «Discovering» of Late Antiquity
Authors: Alviz Fernández Marco 
Published: December 2017

En el presente artículo nos aproximamos sucintamente a la historia de la investigación y al contexto literario en torno al periodo histórico de la Antigüedad tardía. El eje vertebrador del mismo es la idea de decadencia o declive que persistió en el imaginario de los distintos autores y corrientes literarias que se interesaron por el periodo desde el humanismo italiano y centroeuropeo, pasando por las letras anglosajonas en tiempos de la Ilustración, hasta el siglo XIX. Gibbon instituyó el topos del declive en la tardoantigüedad estableciendo así la problemática de estudio de generaciones de historiadores posteriores al tiempo que tocó otros que hoy en día son revisitados con nuevos ojos —i.e. el mundo islámico. Distintas corrientes historiográficas y literarias decimonónicas adoptaron sensibilidades, en general de tonos mustios, inspiradas por el aura pesimista y oscura con la que se describía la tardoantigüedad. Finalmente, el historiador del arte Alois Riegl terminó por rechazar los calificativos basados en juicios de valor subjetivos y otorgó legitimidad al periodo que nos atañe concediéndole caracteres propios y susceptibles de ser estudiados con autonomía. This paper succinctly addresses the history of the research and the literary context of the historical period of Late Antiquity. The backbone of the study is the idea of décadence or decline which persisted in the mind of the different authors and literary movements interested in the period from the Italian and Centro-European Humanism to the Anglo-Saxon and French letters in the Enlightenment and the 19th century. Gibbon set forward the topos of late antique decline as well as touched some others which are revisited nowadays with brand new eyes —Islam. A series of 19th century historiographical and literary movements, drawing on the shadowy late antique aura, took on a pessimistic style and attitudes. Finally, the art historian Alois Riegl rejected the subjective value judgments which labeled Late Antiquity and legitimated the period by bestowing it with its own characteristics and proper autonomy.

Second Language Acquisition: A Theoretical Introduction to Real World Applications by Alessandro G. Benati and Tanja Angelovska (2016) is without doubt a help for undergraduate students and trainee teachers who need to deal with the issue of second language acquisition (SLA). The content is very precise but, at the same time, very clear and easy to understand and follow, even for those students who are dealing with this topic for the first time. It can be applied in the classroom, as a resource book or even a course book, to introduce SLA. It is true that the field has become very complex in the past years, as the studies include many different fields of knowledge: linguistics, psychology, sociology and education. However, the authors of this book have been able to highlight the most important theories in such a way that it can be an excellent resource for use in undergraduate classes. They have also incorporated some activities for students to reflect on the topic and to develop their critical thinking about it. Most of the activities are good and although some are unpretentious, they are effective for students to think about this issue. In short, all of the activities give an insight into the theory.

ABSTRACT
Research on the use of active dubbing activities in foreign language learning is gaining an increasing amount of attention. The most obvious skill to be enhanced in this context is oral production and a few authors have already mentioned the potential benefits of asking students to record their voices in a ‘semi-professional’ manner. The present project attempts to assess the potential of intralingual dubbing (English-English) to develop general oral production skills in adult university students of English B2 level in an online learning environment, and to provide general guidelines of dubbing task assessment for practitioners. To this end, a group of undergraduate pre-intermediate students worked on ten sequenced activities using short videos taken from an American sitcom over a period of two months. The research study included language assessment tests, questionnaires and observation as the basic data gathering tools to make the results as reliable and thorough as possible for this type of educational setting. The conclusions provide a good starting point for the establishment of basic guidelines that may help teachers implement dubbing tasks in the language class.
Construire la signification
Authors: Boily Lise , Coblence Emmanuel 
Published: December 2017

S’il est établi que les musées, en proposant des significations à propos des oeuvres et des objets qu’ils collectionnent, participent à la régénération des traditions artistiques et anthropologiques, les recherches existantes dévoilent insuffisamment les mécanismes par lesquels ces significations sont construites. Les expositions conçues par des artistes et architectes contemporains permettent de lever le voile sur cette mécanique. À partir de terrains d’étude en France et au Canada, nous montrons que certains musées sont devenus des « laboratoires de sémantique sociale », définis comme des lieux d’expérimentation et de co-production de signification avec le visiteur. Ces laboratoires s’appuient sur les mécanismes de la morphogénèse pour générer de nouvelles interprétations. Ce faisant, les institutions muséales prennent toute leur place dans les industries créatives et l’économie de la connaissance.
Servir en ville (post)coloniale
Authors: Moujoud Nasima 
Published: December 2017

À partir d’une étude de cas, envisagée dans une perspective postcoloniale – l’émergence de la domesticité parmi des montagnard(e)s du Haut-Atlas qui s’attachent en ville au Maroc –, cet article revisite la question de l’esclavage domestique moderne en prenant pour objet ses recompositions pendant la colonisation ainsi que les relations postcoloniales qui engagent le travail et les mobilités. Il montre la profondeur sociohistorique des servitudes dans des contextes répressifs marqués par les inégalités entre territoires et entre femmes. En s’appuyant sur des sources écrites, des observations et des entretiens, l’article propose une analyse des servitudes « par le bas » et à partir du point de vue des (anciennes) employées et de leurs proches. Ces personnes se saisissent des rares opportunités connues localement pour avoir des ressources sur un registre moderne, migratoire et salarié – « comme les citadins », disent-elles. Ce registre leur impose la domesticité qu’elles découvrent pendant la colonisation et ne cessent de redéfinir en tenant compte des violences et de nouvelles échappées.
Une vision élargie de la gouvernance au service de la croissance des entreprises innovantes1
Authors: Tarillon Caroline 
Published: December 2017

Les entreprises innovantes de croissance sont connues pour représenter un fort atout pour le développement d’une économie, grâce au vivier de croissance, d’emplois et d’innovation qu’elles apportent. Cependant, malgré leur important potentiel, on observe une forte hétérogénéité de croissance entre ces entreprises.
En opérationnalisant un métamodèle de la gouvernance proposé par Wirtz (2011), nous cherchons à mieux comprendre les relations entre la vision plus ou moins coercitive ou cognitive qu’ont les dirigeants de la gouvernance, les mécanismes de gouvernance qu’ils mettent effectivement en oeuvre et la croissance de leur entreprise.
Grâce aux réponses de 253 dirigeants d’entreprises innovantes de croissance, nous montrons que les chefs d’entreprise peuvent avoir trois visions de la gouvernance – cognitive, coercitive managériale et coercitive financière – qui sont liées à la mise en place de certains mécanismes spécifiques (conseil d’administration, équipe de direction, présence d’investisseurs en capital), eux-mêmes à l’origine d’une croissance plus ou moins forte au sein de leur entreprise.

Swept Forward Magnetic Field Variability in High‐Latitude Regions of Saturn's Magnetosphere
Authors: Davies E. H. , Masters A. , Dougherty M. K. , Hansen K. C. , Coates A. J. , Hunt G. J. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractSwept forward field is the term given to configurations of magnetic field wherein the field lines deviate from the meridional planes of a planet in the direction of its rotation. Evidence is presented for swept‐forward field configurations on Cassini orbits around Saturn from the first half of 2008. These orbits were selected on the basis of high inclination, spatial proximity, and temporal proximity, allowing for the observation of swept‐forward field and resolution of dynamic effects using data from the Cassini magnetometer. Nine orbits are surveyed; all show evidence of swept‐forward field, with typical sweep angle found to be 23°. Evidence is found for transient events that lead to temporary dramatic increases in sweep‐forward angle. The Michigan Solar Wind Model is employed to investigate temporal correlation between the arrivals of solar wind shocks at Saturn with these transient events, with two shown to include instances corresponding with solar wind shock arrivals. Measurements of equatorial electron number density from anode 5 of the Cassini Plasma Spectrometer instrument are investigated for evidence of magnetospheric compression, corresponding with predicted shock arrivals. Potential mechanisms for the transfer of momentum from the solar wind to the magnetosphere are discussed.
On the Dynamics of Austral Heat Waves

Published: December 2017

AbstractThis work examines summer heat wave events in four different regions of Australia (southwest, central, southeast, and northeast) to assess similarities and differences in the circulations that precede, accompany, and follow the heat wave events. A series of circulation composites are constructed for days from 10 days prior to 5 days following onset of each heat wave event. The composites of geopotential height anomalies and wave activity flux vectors show that heat waves in southwest and southeast Australia are preceded by coherent wave train structures in the Indian Ocean region, accompanied by blocking in the Australian region (as an amplified node of the wave train structure), and followed by coherent responses of wave train patterns in the Pacific and South America regions. The heat wave blocking high is maintained by convergence of wave activity in a well‐defined wave channel. The concentration of wave activity in the block is aided by the formation of a subtropical jet branch and wave barrier on the equatorward side of the block. Heat waves in central and northeast Australia show similar wave train life cycle responses, but with a proximate ridge in the midtroposphere and a trough in the nearby waveguide region. Heat waves in Australia can be viewed as an element of successive expression of the planetary waveguide modes in the Southern Hemisphere and serve as signifiers of organized, active phases of these modes.
Distributed H2/H∞ filtering over infinite horizon
Authors: Chen Chunyu , Dong Wenjie , Djapic Vladimir 
Published: December 2017

SummaryThis paper studies distributed H2/H∞ filtering problem with the aid of neighbors’ information. It is assumed that there are both bounded power uncertainty and stochastic white noise in the model of the considered system. A 2‐step design approach is proposed to calculate the observer gain and the coupling gain in the proposed observers. In order to reduce the computation load of solving coupled matrix equations, a simplified design procedure is also proposed. Simulation of 2 examples shows the effectiveness of the proposed filter design procedure.
Electrically Controlled Neurochemical Release from Dual‐Layer Conducting Polymer Films for Precise Modulation of Neural Network Activity in Rat Barrel Cortex
Authors: Du Zhanhong Jeff , Bi Guo‐Qiang , Cui Xinyan Tracy 
Published: December 2017

AbstractImplantable microelectrode arrays (MEAs) are important tools for investigating functional neural circuits and treating neurological diseases. Precise modulation of neural activity may be achieved by controlled delivery of neurochemicals directly from coatings on MEA electrode sites. In this study, a novel dual‐layer conductive polymer/acid functionalized carbon nanotube (fCNT) microelectrode coating is developed to better facilitate the loading and controlled delivery of the neurochemical 6,7‐dinitroquinoxaline‐2,3‐dione (DNQX). The base layer coating is consisted of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene/fCNT and the top layer is consisted of polypyrrole/fCNT/DNQX. The dual‐layer coating is capable of both loading and electrically releasing DNQX and the release dynamic is characterized with fluorescence microscopy and mathematical modeling. In vivo DNQX release is demonstrated in rat somatosensory cortex. Sensory‐evoked neural activity is immediately (<1s) and locally (<446 µm) suppressed by electrically triggered DNQX release. Furthermore, a single DNQX‐loaded, dual‐layer coating is capable of inducing effective neural inhibition for at least 26 times without observable degradation in efficacy. Incorporation of the novel drug releasing coating onto individual MEA electrodes offers many advantages over alternative methods by increasing spatial‐temporal precision and improving drug selection flexibility without increasing the device's size.

Published: December 2017

AbstractA one‐pot reaction between Cu(BF4)2·xH2O and 4‐mercaptobenzoic acid in acetone or methanol gives rise to the formation of lamellar microcrystals of two Cu(I)‐thiophenolate‐based coordination polymers (CPs) with the formulas [CuCT]
n (1) (CT = 4‐carboxy‐thiophenolate) and [CuMCT]n (2) (MCT = 4‐methoxycarbonyl‐thiophenolate). Both 1 and 2 show a reversible luminescent thermochromic behavior upon cooling, changing their color from pale yellow to green to orange in the case of 1, and from pale orange to green in the case of 2. It is shown that the lamellar character of these crystals, which exhibit micrometer lateral dimensions and sub‐micrometer/nanometer thicknesses, allows processing them with an organic polymer such as polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) to form thermochromic 1@PVDF and 2@PVDF thin films. These thermal stimuli‐responsive thin films are freestanding, free of macroscopic defects, and robust under mechanical bending stress, opening up the possibility to use them in, for example, 2D imaging sensor films.

Published: December 2017

AbstractA theranostic platform combining synergistic therapy and real‐time imaging attracts enormous attention but still faces great challenges, such as tedious modifications and lack of efficient accumulation in tumor. Here, a novel type of theranostic agent, bismuth sulfide@mesoporous silica (Bi2S3@mPS) core‐shell nanoparticles (NPs), for targeted image‐guided therapy of human epidermal growth factor receptor‐2 (HER‐2) positive breast cancer is developed. To generate such NPs, polyvinylpyrrolidone decorated rod‐like Bi2S3 NPs are chemically encapsulated with a mesoporous silica (mPS) layer and loaded with an anticancer drug, doxorubicin. The resultant NPs are then chemically conjugated with trastuzumab (Tam, a monoclonal antibody targeting HER‐2 overexpressed breast cancer cells) to form Tam‐Bi2S3@mPS NPs. By in vitro and in vivo studies, it is demonstrated that the Tam‐Bi2S3@mPS bear multiple desired features for cancer theranostics, including good biocompatibility and drug loading ability as well as precise and active tumor targeting and accumulation (with a bismuth content in tumor being ≈16 times that of nontargeted group). They can simultaneously serve both as an excellent contrast enhancement probe (due to the presence of strong X‐ray‐attenuating bismuth element) for computed tomography deep tissue tumor imaging and as a therapeutic agent to destruct tumors and prevent metastasis by synergistic photothermal‐chemo therapy.
Simultaneous Activation of Short‐Wave Infrared (SWIR) Light and Paramagnetism by a Functionalized Shell for High Penetration and Spatial Resolution Theranostics

Published: December 2017

AbstractNanoparticle emitting short‐wave infrared (SWIR) light has received increased attention in the molecular imaging field due to its deeper tissue penetration, fast imaging, high sensitivity, and resolution. The simultaneously activated SWIR excited directly by an 808 nm laser and T1‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal are found in one single‐shell nanoparticle NaErF4@NaGdF4 (Er@Gd), which is used as a dual‐modality imaging contrast agent in vivo to accurately determine the position of tumors. The conjugated cypate is then aggregated on the surface of Er@Gd@SiO2‐Cy/bovine serum albumin. With the guidance of dual modality imaging, photothermal therapy is effectively used to ablate tumors in a mouse model. The design of single‐shell nanomaterial activation of SWIR imaging and MRI signals is expected to provide a new strategy for high penetration and spatial resolution cancer theranostics.
