Les marbres et jaspes siciliens utilisés dans la pratique décorative à « marmi mischi »
Authors: Montana Giuseppe , Gagliardo Briuccia Valentina 
Published: January 2016

Depuis l’Antiquité classique, la Sicile est bien connue pour l’abondance de ses marbres d’une rare beauté et d’une grande valeur (Diodore de Sicile, Bibliothèque historique, livre XVI ; Juvénal, Satires ; Ateneo, Deopnosophiste). C’est au début du xviie siècle, c’est-à-dire au moment de l’éclosion du goût décoratif baroque, que l’extraction des marbres polychromes et des jaspes multicolores s’accroît considérablement. Très abondants en Sicile occidentale, ces matériaux sont utilisés pour la décoration des églises et des palais.Les décors à commesso en marbre, autrement dits « marmi mischi e tramischi », se retrouvent en particulier dans les églises baroques à Palerme, à Messine, à Catane et à Trapani. Au même titre que les stucs, les décors à marmi mischi sont considérés comme l’innovation la plus importante apportée par la culture sicilienne à l’art européen. Ce phénomène voit son origine dans les échanges commerciaux entre la Sicile et la Toscane dès la seconde moitié du xve siècle. En effet, l’importation du marbre blanc statuaire des Apennins a favorisé l’apprentissage de la marqueterie toscane en Sicile. La diffusion des marbres et des jaspes siciliens en Toscane, ainsi qu’à Rome, à Naples et à Gênes a perduré pendant les deux siècles suivants.L’article offre une synthèse concise des résultats principaux d’une recherche complète. Il est structuré en quatre parties : étude des documents et des textes anciens qui contiennent tous genres d’informations sur les matériaux et les objets ; étude et classification des collections lithiques des xviiie et xixe siècles ; reconnaissance des matériaux utilisés dans les églises et dans les palais siciliens ; localisation des anciennes carrières et évaluation d’une nouvelle exploitation.
Une enquête singulière en Languedoc dans la première moitié du xviie siècle
Authors: Beauregard Alain de 
Published: January 2016

Si nul ne peut contester la richesse de rares fonds d’archives privés, les habitués des archives publiques savent combien les documents concernant les marbres des Pyrénées sont rares, au point qu’en leur absence les historiens de jadis attribuèrent bien généreusement les plus belles parures de nos palais à l’Italie. Cette carence de documents concerne généralement le xvie siècle, les règnes des deux premiers Bourbons, pour ne rien dire des périodes antérieures. Aussi peut-on qualifier de singulière cette enquête de 1631, effroyable année de peste, qui, pour être soumise à votre appréciation, fut diligentée à l’initiative du sculpteur languedocien Pierre Monge. Sous une simplicité apparente ce document nous renseigne sur l’état du petit monde du marbre en Comminges au xviie siècle, sur ses acteurs économiques principaux, marchands, artistes, commanditaires, sur les convoyages et la fiscalité. Au fil d’une double enquête vous serez étonnés d’y découvrir les personnalités attachantes d’un homme à la fois architecte du roi et sculpteur jusqu’à ce jour inconnu, avec le bonheur de leur accorder sûrement la place d’honneur qui sied, si longtemps refusée.
Marbres et pierres dures dans les châteaux prussiens, la galerie des Tableaux de Frédéric le Grand à Sans-Souci
Authors: Sommer Claudia , Klappenbach Stefan 
Published: January 2016

L’article évoque le travail des pierres naturelles et souligne leur signification culturelle dans l’architecture intérieure sous le règne de Frédéric II (1740-1786). En effet, la salle de bal, la galerie et le vestibule constituent les trois ensembles remarquables de Potsdam, avec leurs parements luxueux de placages de marbres et de riches incrustations dans les pavements. Bien que ce style ne puisse être rapproché d’aucune tradition particulière, il représente un travail artistique et technique à maturité. Le commanditaire royal a-t-il souhaité donner libre cours à ses goûts esthétiques personnels ou utilise-t-il de luxueux matériaux pour une mise en scène du pouvoir royal et de sa personne ? Pour y répondre, il convient de mettre en lumière le rôle actif de Frédéric II dans la découverte et l’exploitation des marbres et des pierres précieuses de Silésie à partir de 1747, ainsi que dans la création d’une manufacture de pierres à Potsdam. Un exemple significatif est donné par la galerie des Tableaux dans le parc de Sans-Souci, dont la restauration en 1993-1996 a permis d’importantes découvertes sur la constitution des matériaux et leur façonnage.
Les marbres d’Espagne dans la décoration du palais de la Granja de San Ildefonso
Authors: Herrero Sanz María Jesús 
Published: January 2016

Au xviiie siècle, la construction et la décoration des grandes résidences royales sont considérées non seulement comme le symbole de la grandeur et de la puissance du monarque, mais aussi comme une contribution généreuse de celui-ci au bien public. A cet égard, l’histoire de la construction du palais et des jardins de la Granja (1720-1746), lieu de retraite de Philippe V, est aussi complexe que passionnante. D’énormes quantités de marbres ont été utilisées, en provenance de plusieurs carrières espagnoles, ainsi que de Gênes. Ces marbres sont employés dans la galerie dessinée par Procaccini pour accueillir la collection de sculptures achetée à Christine de Suède en 1724. Cette galerie n’a jamais été terminée ; toutefois, les marbres ont servi à la décoration d’autres éléments architecturaux du rez-de-chaussée du palais, par exemple les cheminées de l’héritage du Dauphin. D’autres marbres provenant de carrières espagnoles ont été employés au pavement des pièces principales sur les dessins de l’architecte Bonavia.
Les marbriers des Bâtiments du roi
Authors: Mouquin Sophie 
Published: January 2016

Matériau noble, symbole de beauté, de pouvoir et d’éternité, le marbre est sous l’Ancien Régime, et particulièrement sous le règne de Louis XIV et la Régence, un matériau royal. Toutes les maisons royales reçoivent pavements, lambris et cheminées réalisés dans des marbres aux couleurs vives, provenant pour la plupart de carrières du royaume. Leur origine répond ainsi à la politique royale du marbre français que les directeurs des Bâtiments du roi s’efforcent de mettre en place et de consolider. Tous ces travaux ont leurs artisans : Derbais, Dezègre, Pasquier, Ménard, Mathaut, Lisquy, Tarlé, Trouard, etc., autant de noms indissociables des réalisations marbrières dans les maisons royales, mais si souvent oubliés. Ils jouent pourtant, dans ce domaine, un rôle de premier plan à tous niveaux, de la carrière au chantier. L’exposé présente l’organisation de ce corps de métier, sa place au sein des Bâtiments du roi et son rôle dans la politique marbrière. Il s’appuie sur les principales réalisations versaillaises, comme l’appartement des bains, l’escalier des Ambassadeurs, l’escalier de la Reine, la galerie des Glaces, le salon d’Hercule, les cheminées et les lambris des appartements du Roi et de la Reine. Il évoquera le chantier des jardins avec le bosquet de la Colonnade et d’autres bosquets.

Toward the Elimination of Paper Orders
Authors: Ramirez Ricardo , Webster S. , Gellert George 
Published: January 2016

SummaryWith the adoption of Computerized Patient Order Entry (CPOE), many physicians – particularly consultants and those who are affiliated with multiple hospital systems – are faced with the challenge of learning to navigate and commit to memory the details of multiple EHRs and CPOE software modules. These physicians may resist CPOE adoption, and their refusal to use CPOE presents a risk to patient safety when paper and electronic orders co-exist, as paper orders generated in an electronic ordering environment can be missed or acted upon after delay, are frequently illegible, and bypass the Clinical Decision Support (CDS) that is part of the evidence-based value of CPOE.We defined a category of CPOE Low Frequency Users (LFUs) – physicians issuing a total of less than 10 orders per month – and found that 50.4% of all physicians issuing orders in 3 urban/suburban hospitals were LFUs and actively issuing orders across all shifts and days of the week. Data are presented for 2013 on the number of LFUs by month, day of week, shift and facility, over 2.3 million orders issued.A menu of 6 options to assist LFUs in the use of CPOE, from which hospital leaders could select, was instituted so that paper orders could be increasingly eliminated. The options, along with their cost implications, are described, as is the initial option selected by hospital leaders. In practice, however, a mixed pattern involving several LFU support options emerged. We review data on how the option mix selected may have impacted CPOE adoption and physician use rates at the facilities. The challenge of engaging LFU physicians in CPOE adoption may be common in moderately sized hospitals, and these options can be deployed by other systems in advancing CPOE pervasiveness of use and the eventual elimination of paper orders.

Published: January 2016

<p>'La Carència. Chronological and urban change. Evaluation in its territorial context' is an archaeological project whose application of digital methodologies to the study of la Carència Ibero-Roman oppidum and its territory has been prominent during the last ten years. This application has been twofold: archaeological research has employed GIS analyses, photogrammetrical modelling of past landscapes and multispectral imagery analysis. Scientific dissemination has been enhanced by the use of aerial photogrammetry but 3D virtual modelling was also employed to develop a hypothetical reconstruction of the city walled area. In general the application of digital methodologies benefited archaeological analysis and, at the same time, helped developing the heritage value of both site and territory.</p>

Published: January 2016

Abstract
Returns management has gained managerial and academic attention in recent years, but it still remains a significant challenge for many companies due to its unpredictable and irregular nature. The current study contributes to existing literature by focusing on the effectiveness of externally developed customizable software. Drawing upon the service dominant (S-D) logic and using empirical survey data, this study not only confirmed the positive impacts of returns management software effectiveness on firm market performance but also identified a joint development orientation as crucial to ensuring returns management software effectiveness.
The Relationship between Supply Chain Integration and Operational Performances: A Study of Priorities and Synergies
Authors: Yuen Kum Fai , Thai Vinh V. 
Published: January 2016

Abstract
Since the past decades, supply chain integration (SCI) has been a phenomenon of interest in the shipping industry. This article examines and ranks the effects of internal and external SCI on operational performances. Pairwise interactions among components of SCI were also studied. Expert interviews followed by a survey on 172 shipping companies in Singapore were conducted. Based on the results from regression analysis, it was found that external SCI contributes more positively to operational performances. Positive interactions between similar internal and external SCI components were also noted. The result indicates that firm performances can be maximized from establishing closer relationships with supply chain partners. Additional performances can also be realized from synergies that are generated from performing similar internal and external SCI activities. The current article has provided explanations for the sources of synergies in SCI and their role in driving firms' performances.
Effects of carprofen, meloxicam and butorphanol on broiler chickens’ performance in mobility tests

Published: January 2016

AbstractLame broiler chickens perform poorly in standardised mobility tests and have nociceptive thresholds that differ from those of nonlame birds, even when confounding factors such as differences in bodyweight are accounted for. This study investigated whether these altered responses could be due to pain, by comparing performance in a Group Obstacle test and a Latency to Lie (LTL) test of lame (Gait Score [GS] 2.5-4) and non-lame (GS 0-1) broilers administered analgesia or a saline control. We used exploratory subcutaneous doses of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), meloxicam (5 mg kg−1) or carprofen (35 mg kg−1) or the opioid butorphanol tartrate (4 mg kg−1). We included butorphanol to explore the possibility that NSAIDs could improve mobility by reducing inflammation without necessarily invoking an analgesic effect. Lameness was a significant predictor in all analyses. Neither the number of obstacle crossings nor latency to cross an obstacle was significantly changed by either NSAID, but LTL was longer in lame birds given carprofen and meloxicam than in lame birds given saline. LTL was associated with foot-pad dermatitis and ameliorated by both NSAIDs. Butorphanol did not affect LTL but appeared soporific in the obstacle test, increasing latency to cross and, in non-lame birds, reducing the number of crossings. Combined with data from other studies, the results suggest carprofen and meloxicam had some analgesic effect on lame birds, lending further support to concerns that lameness compromises broiler welfare. Further investigation of opioid treatments and lameness types is needed to disentangle effects on mobility and on pain.
Availability and use of designated hospital pens in Danish dairy herds

Published: January 2016

AbstractThe objective of this study was to describe the availability and use of designated hospital pens in Danish dairy herds and to analyse the association between availability and use of hospital pens and the herd-level incidence of reported disease treatments. Hospital pens were divided into either ‘individual hospital pens’ designed for only one animal or ‘group hospital pens’ designed for two or more animals. Questionnaires were sent to 350 dairy cattle herd owners. These questionnaires focused on four animal categories: dairy cows, heifers, males six months or older, and calves younger than six months. Depending on the category of animal, between 50 and 82% of the herds had access to individual hospital pens and between 39 and 65% of the herds had access to group hospital pens. Between nine and 24% of the herds did not have access to any type of hospital pens. The availability of hospital pens was generally higher for dairy cows than the other animal groups. There were significantly more reported treatments for hoof/leg disorders in herds with one or more cows in hospital pens at the day of visit.
Effects of stocking rate on measures of efficacy and welfare during argon gas euthanasia of weaned pigs
Authors: Fiedler KJ , Parsons RL , Sadler LJ , Millman ST 
Published: January 2016

AbstractThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of chamber stocking rate on facets of animal welfare and efficacy during euthanasia of weaned pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) with argon gas. Two hundred and thirty-three weaned pigs designated for euthanasia at a commercial production farm were randomly assigned to group sizes of one, two, or six pigs. Gas euthanasia of each piglet group was performed in a Euthanex® AgPro chamber. The chamber was filled with argon gas for 6 min in order to reduce the oxygen concentration to less than 2%. Pigs were then placed into the pre-filled chamber and gas flow was continued at a high rate to displace introduced air and re-establish a fatally low residual oxygen concentration. Pigs remained in the chamber for 10 min and were then removed to test for signs of sensibility and life. There was no significant evidence of an effect of stocking rate on focal pig latencies to onset of neuromuscular excitation or last movement, as scored from video recordings. Solitary pigs were more likely to pace and make righting attempts in the chamber than paired or grouped focal pigs, although pigs in higher stocking rate treatments tended to retain posture longer. The results of this study do not support seclusion during argon gas euthanasia as a method of improving animal welfare. The portable chamber did not facilitate a truly pre-filled atmosphere for euthanasia, although the procedure used in this study was consistently effective.
Consumer attitudes to injurious pecking in free-range egg production
Authors: Bennett RM , Jones PJ , Nicol CJ , Tranter RB , Weeks CA 
Published: January 2016

AbstractFree-range egg producers face continuing problems from injurious pecking (IP) which has financial consequences for farmers and poor welfare implications for birds. Beak-trimming has been practised for many years to limit the damage caused by IP, but with the UK Government giving notification that they intend to ban beak-trimming in 2016, considerable efforts have been made to devise feasible housing, range and management strategies to reduce IP. A recent research project investigated the efficacy of a range of IP-reducing management strategies, the mean costs of which came to around 5 pence per bird. Here, the results of the above project's consumer survey are presented: consumers’ attitudes to free-range egg production are detailed showing that, whilst consumers had a very positive attitude towards free-range eggs, they were especially uninformed about some aspects of free-range egg production. The contingent valuation technique was used to estimate the price premium consumers would be prepared to pay to ensure that hens do not suffer from IP: this was calculated as just over 3% on top of the prevailing retail price of free-range eggs. These findings reinforce other studies that have found that whilst consumers are not generally well-informed about certain specific welfare problems faced by animals under free-range conditions, they are prepared to pay to improve animal welfare. Indeed, the study findings suggest that producers could obtain an additional price premium if they demonstrate the welfare provenance of their eggs, perhaps through marketing the eggs as coming from birds with intact beaks. This welfare provenance issue could usefully be assured to consumers by the introduction of a mandatory, single, accredited EU-wide welfare-standards labelling scheme.
