Les marchés de dette obligataire en devise locale en Amérique latine
Authors: Cabrillac Bruno , Ferrer Marie-Hélène 
Published: February 2017

La qualité et la stabilité des politiques économiques en Amérique latine se sont sensiblement améliorées dans les deux dernières décennies et la progression des marchés de dette en monnaie locale a été soutenue. La volatilité des flux de capitaux reste cependant relativement élevée, entraînant celle des taux de change, et l’amélioration des politiques économiques paraît s’essouffler. De fait (de ce fait ?), le développement des marchés obligataires en monnaie locale s’est interrompu en 2012 en Amérique latine, alors qu’il s’est poursuivi en Asie émergente. Les économies émergentes d’Amérique latine sont confrontées aujourd’hui à un choc de termes de l’échange dû à la baisse des prix des matières premières et à la perspective de conditions financières mondiales plus restrictives. Dans ce contexte, des politiques publiques spécifiques et appuyées par la communauté internationale, conformément aux engagements du G7 et du G20, pour favoriser le développement des marchés obligataires en monnaie locale paraissent plus justifiées que jamais.

L'expérience de CNP Assurances au Brésil
Authors: Boyancé Philippe , Larnaudie-Eiffel Xavier 
Published: February 2017

L’implantation de CNP Assurances au Brésil est un succès. Au-delà de la maîtrise des techniques de valorisation des compagnies d’assurances, qui lui a valu d’emporter les enchères en 2001 pour l’acquisition de Caixa Seguradora, de nombreux facteurs ont contribué à cette réussite. Le premier d’entre eux est un partage des mêmes valeurs entre deux partenaires (CNP Assurances et la banque publique CAIXA) animés de l’ambition commune d’un développement durable. Pour arriver en 2015 à dégager un résultat net de 1,9 milliard de réals et à se hisser en quatrième position en termes de parts de marché, la filiale brésilienne a dû, peu après l’acquisition, se restructurer et rénover sa gamme de produits. En quinze ans, elle a su non seulement accroître sa présence au sein du réseau partenaire en capitalisant sur la marque CAIXA, très forte au Brésil, mais aussi conquérir de nouveaux clients hors du réseau de la banque tant par le lancement de nouveaux produits que par des opérations de croissance externe. Aujourd’hui, la clarté de sa gouvernance et la rigueur de son contrôle lui permettent de rester très éloignée des scandales politico-financiers qui secouent le Brésil. Bien que touchée par la récession brésilienne, issue en partie de ces scandales, CNP Assurances, qui reste confiante dans le potentiel de ses activités au Brésil, se lance dans la conquête du marché numérique avec la première plateforme d’assurances brésilienne 100 % digitale.

Le corps au sein de la discipline infirmière : un incontournable pour lier les quatre concepts du méta-paradigme actuel
Authors: Vonarx Nicolas 
Published: February 2017

Comment enseigner et pratiquer les soins infirmiers, développer ses connaissances et les assises disciplinaires en sciences infirmières sans considérer explicitement la place incontournable que tient le corps ici ? Ce texte revient sur le méta-paradigme de la discipline infirmière et les quatre concepts qui le composent, pour inscrire dans cette formalisation théorique le corps comme un cinquième concept. Il montre son utilité pour attacher ensemble et de manière cohérente les concepts de personne, santé, environnement et soin. Différentes déclinaisons du corps servent chaque fois de porte d’entrée pour inscrire et réunir les cinq concepts dans des micro-paradigmes spécifiques à partir desquels on peut repérer aisément la nature des soins et du prendre soin infirmiers, comme le type de savoirs qui sont enseignés et nécessaires dans les milieux de formation.

Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a disease characterized by the accumulation of apoptosis-resistant fibroblasts in the lung. We have previously shown that high expression of the transcription factor Twist1 may explain this prosurvival phenotype in vitro. However, this observation has never been tested in vivo. We found that loss of Twist1 in COL1A2+ cells led to increased fibrosis characterized by very significant accumulation of T cells and bone marrow–derived matrix-producing cells. We found that Twist1-null cells expressed high levels of the T cell chemoattractant CXCL12. In vitro, we found that the loss of Twist1 in IPF lung fibroblasts increased expression of CXCL12 downstream of increased expression of the noncanonical NF-κB transcription factor RelB. Finally, blockade of CXCL12 with AMD3100 attenuated the exaggerated fibrosis observed in Twist1-null mice. Transcriptomic analysis of 134 IPF patients revealed that low expression of Twist1 was characterized by enrichment of T cell pathways. In conclusion, loss of Twist1 in collagen-producing cells led to increased bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, which is mediated by increased expression of CXCL12. Twist1 expression is associated with dysregulation of T cells in IPF patients. Twist1 may shape the IPF phenotype and regulate inflammation in fibrotic lung injury.
Hierarchical Clustering Can Identify B Cell Clones with High Confidence in Ig Repertoire Sequencing Data

Published: February 2017

AbstractAdaptive immunity is driven by the expansion, somatic hypermutation, and selection of B cell clones. Each clone is the progeny of a single B cell responding to Ag, with diversified Ig receptors. These receptors can now be profiled on a large scale by next-generation sequencing. Such data provide a window into the microevolutionary dynamics that drive successful immune responses and the dysregulation that occurs with aging or disease. Clonal relationships are not directly measured, but they must be computationally inferred from these sequencing data. Although several hierarchical clustering-based methods have been proposed, they vary in distance and linkage methods and have not yet been rigorously compared. In this study, we use a combination of human experimental and simulated data to characterize the performance of hierarchical clustering-based methods for partitioning sequences into clones. We find that single linkage clustering has high performance, with specificity, sensitivity, and positive predictive value all &gt;99%, whereas other linkages result in a significant loss of sensitivity. Surprisingly, distance metrics that incorporate the biases of somatic hypermutation do not outperform simple Hamming distance. Although errors were more likely in sequences with short junctions, using the entire dataset to choose a single distance threshold for clustering is near optimal. Our results suggest that hierarchical clustering using single linkage with Hamming distance identifies clones with high confidence and provides a fully automated method for clonal grouping. The performance estimates we develop provide important context to interpret clonal analysis of repertoire sequencing data and allow for rigorous testing of other clonal grouping algorithms.
On Asymptotically Orthonormal
Sequences
Authors: Fricain Emmanuel , Rupam Rishika 
Published: February 2017

AbstractAn asymptotically orthonormal sequence is a sequence that is nearly orthonormal in the sense that it satisfies the Parseval equality up to two constants close to one. In this paper, we explore such sequences formed by normalized reproducing kernels for model spaces and de Branges– Rovnyak spaces.

Abstract. The large variety of atmospheric circulation systems affecting the eastern Asian climate is reflected by the complex Asian vegetation distribution. Particularly in the transition zones of these circulation systems, vegetation is supposed to be very sensitive to climate change. Since proxy records are scarce, hitherto a mechanistic understanding of the past spatio-temporal climate–vegetation relationship is lacking. To assess the Holocene vegetation change and to obtain an ensemble of potential mid-Holocene biome distributions for eastern Asia, we forced the diagnostic biome model BIOME4 with climate anomalies of different transient Holocene climate simulations performed in coupled atmosphere–ocean(–vegetation) models. The simulated biome changes are compared with pollen-based biome records for different key regions.In all simulations, substantial biome shifts during the last 6000 years are confined to the high northern latitudes and the monsoon–westerly wind transition zone, but the temporal evolution and amplitude of change strongly depend on the climate forcing. Large parts of the southern tundra are replaced by taiga during the mid-Holocene due to a warmer growing season and the boreal treeline in northern Asia is shifted northward by approx. 4° in the ensemble mean, ranging from 1.5 to 6° in the individual simulations, respectively. This simulated treeline shift is in agreement with pollen-based reconstructions from northern Siberia. The desert fraction in the transition zone is reduced by 21 % during the mid-Holocene compared to pre-industrial due to enhanced precipitation. The desert–steppe margin is shifted westward by 5° (1–9° in the individual simulations). The forest biomes are expanded north-westward by 2°, ranging from 0 to 4° in the single simulations. These results corroborate pollen-based reconstructions indicating an extended forest area in north-central China during the mid-Holocene. According to the model, the forest-to-non-forest and steppe-to-desert changes in the climate transition zones are spatially not uniform and not linear since the mid-Holocene.
Reading Aloud to Children: Benefits and Implications for Acquiring Literacy Before Schooling Begins
Authors: Massaro Dominic W. 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
Extensive experience in written language might provide children the opportunity to learn to read in the same manner they learn spoken language. One potential type of written language immersion is reading aloud to children, which is additionally valuable because the vocabulary in picture books is richer and more extensive than that found in child-directed speech. This study continues a comparison between these 2 communication media by evaluating their relative linguistic and cognitive complexity. Although reading grade level has been used only to assess the complexity of written language, it was also applied to both child-directed and adult-directed speech. Five measures of reading grade level gave an average grade level of 4.2 for picture books, 1.9 for child-directed speech, and 3.0 for adult-directed speech. The language in picture books is more challenging than that found in both child-directed and adult-directed speech. It is proposed that this difference between written and spoken language is the formal versus informal genre of their occurrence rather than their text or oral medium. The value of reading books aloud therefore exposes children to a linguistic and cognitive complexity not typically found in speech to children.
“Here is our man”: Dundes Discovered, The Development of the Folklore Program at the University of California, Berkeley
Authors: Zumwalt Rosemary Lévy 
Published: February 2017

Abstract
This paper focuses on the recruitment of Alan Dundes to the University of California, Berkeley, and his work with William Bascom in founding the Folklore Program. Using primarily the William Bascom Papers and the Alan Dundes Papers housed in the Bancroft Library, the paper stresses the personal voice in the history of folklore, which draws on the spoken word of the participants in the making of academic history. Here, the term “spoken word” is used broadly to encompass correspondence, interviews, and personal reflections. The goal is to present the immediacy and the excitement of the participants who created this program in folklore.
Telling New Myths: Contemporary Native American Animal Narratives from Michigan
Authors: Magoulick Mary 
Published: February 2017

AbstractTelling new myths (“teachings”), Ojibwe people in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan engage in creative processes of cultural renewal, like many Native Americans today. These narratives fit the genre of myth from a folkloristic perspective, but are newly shaped to speak to contemporary experiences of a resurgent, emergent culture. These new myths involve animals (such as wolves, coyotes, and buffalo) as main characters and demonstrate a mythic structure of movement from chaos (the period of post-European/American dominance and destruction of traditional cultures) toward cosmos (the “good road” of a Native-centered worldview).
Variables Influencing the Depth of Conscious Sedation in Plastic Surgery: A Prospective Study
Authors: Yeo Hyeonjung , Kim Wonwoo , Park Hyochun , Kim Hoonnam 
Published: February 2017

Background Conscious sedation has been widely utilized in plastic surgery. However, inadequate research has been published evaluating adequate drug dosage and depth of sedation. In clinical practice, sedation is often inadequate or accompanied by complications when sedatives are administered according to body weight alone. The purpose of this study was to identify variables influencing the depth of sedation during conscious sedation for plastic surgery.
Methods This prospective study evaluated 97 patients who underwent plastic surgical procedures under conscious sedation. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), creatinine, and glucose levels were measured. Midazolam and ketamine were administered intravenously according to a preset protocol. Bispectral index (BIS) recordings were obtained to evaluate the depth of sedation 4, 10, 15, and 20 minutes after midazolam administration. Associations between variables and the BIS were assessed using multiple regression analysis.
Results Alcohol intake and female sex were positively associated with the mean BIS (P<0.01). Age was negatively associated with the mean BIS (P<0.01). Body mass index (P=0.263), creatinine clearance (P=0.832), smoking history (P=0.398), glucose (P=0.718), AST (P=0.729), and ALT (P=0.423) were not associated with the BIS.
Conclusions Older patients tended to have a greater depth of sedation, whereas females and patients with greater alcohol intake had a shallower depth of sedation. Thus, precise dose adjustments of sedatives, accounting for not only weight but also age, sex, and alcohol consumption, are required to achieve safe, effective, and predictable conscious sedation.

Published: February 2017

Informatička ekonomija je relativno novi pojam i pojava koja je nastala 90-tih godina prošlog veka, ali koja je unela mnoge promene u ekonomske procese, posebno na globalnom nivou. Ovaj rad prezentuje pre svega novi termin koji se pojavio u kontekstu globalne i informatičke ekonomije a to je nova ekonomija. Ovaj termin je već postao opšteprihvaćeni termin u terminologiji izučavanja novih globalnih procesa u ekonomiji koji su bazirani na informatičkoj ekonomiji. Sadržaj termina nove ekonomije određuje one elemente i faktora uticaja na brži ekonomski razvoj na novim osnovama koji za sada pokazuje pun uspeh u zemljama razvijenih ekonomija. Međutim i zemlje ekonomija u razvoju takođe imaju svoju šansu da se u kontekstu novih promena prilagode novinama i na taj način na brži način dostignu viši stepen razvoja ekonomije što bi bio slučaj i sa ekonomijom Republike Srpske.

Osposobljenost nastavnika prvi je korak u adekvatnoj primeni informatike u obrazovnom sistemu jedne zemlje. Drugi korak je obezbeđivanje finansija za nesmetano funcionisanje i usavršavanje obrazovnog sistema. Treći, ali ne i manje važan korak jeste prihvatanje i implementacija savremenih Informaciono-komunikacionih tehnologija (IKT). Ovo su tri presudna uslova kada je reč o unapređivanju obrazovanja, a samim tim, i stvaranju preduslova za razvoj najvažnijih resusrsa jedne zemlje – ljudskih resursa. To je ujedno i jedini način da zemlje koje nemaju povoljne geografske, prirodne i druge resurse uspešno pariraju i budu konkurentne razvijenim zemljama. Ekonomska budućnost i razvoj jedne zemlje sve manje zavisi od prirodnih bogatstava, a sve više od ljudi koji rade u njoj i za nju. Koliko će biti uspešni u svom poslu, umnogome zavisi od znanja koje su stekli tokom školovanja i koja neprekidno stiču tokom svog života i rada. Ključni segment savremenog obrazovanja jeste primena informatike i Informaciono-komunikacionih tehnologija.

Published: February 2017

Eye tracking may be very effective and has great potential in user interface optimisation. The main disadvantage of tracking what a user is looking at is the need for complex and expensive equipment, and a controlled laboratory environment. Mouse tracking is a widely applicable alternative to eye tracking. This paper presents the architecture of CHITAS (Computer-Human Interaction Tracking and Analytics System) which enables information to be gathered about mouse movement in a web environment, and analytical processing of the collected data.
Collapse and recovery of forage fish populations prior to commercial exploitation
Authors: McClatchie S. , Hendy I. L. , Thompson A. R. , Watson W. 
Published: February 2017

AbstractWe use a new, well‐calibrated 500 year paleorecord off southern California to determine collapse frequency, cross correlation, persistence, and return times of exploited forage fish populations. The paleorecord shows that “collapse” (defined as <10% of the mean peak biomass) is a normal state repeatedly experienced by northern anchovy, Pacific hake, and Pacific sardine which were collapsed 29–40% of the time, prior to commercial fishing exploitation. Mean (± SD) persistence of “fishable biomass” (defined as one third mean peak biomass from the paleorecord) was 19 ± 18, 15 ± 17, and 12 ± 7 years for anchovy, hake, and sardine. Mean return times to the same biomass was 8 years for anchovy but 22 years for sardine and hake. Further, we find that sardine and anchovy are positively correlated over 400 years, consistent with coherent declines of both species off California. Persistence and return times combined with positive sardine‐anchovy correlation indicate that on average 1–2 decades of fishable biomass will be followed by 1–2 decades of low forage. Forage populations are resilient on the 500 year time scale, but their collapse and recovery cycle (based on the paleorecord) are suited to alternating periods of high fishing mortality and periods of little or no fishing.
Observing subsurface changes of two anticyclonic eddies passing over the Izu‐Ogasawara Ridge

Published: February 2017

AbstractEddy‐bathymetry interactions are common in the ocean, but the full evolution of the interaction is difficult to observe below the surface. Using 17 Iridium Argo floats, we continually track two anticyclonic eddies (AEs) in the North Pacific that migrate westward and encounter the Izu‐Ogasawara Ridge. Based on over 5000 Argo profiles following the two AEs, this study presents the first detailed descriptions of changes in eddy vertical structure and diapycnal mixing as the two AEs pass the Ridge. There, we find that isopycnals dome up and the eddy diameter increases, while the diapycnal mixing is enhanced—to the order of 10−4 m2 s−1 or larger, in comparison with an ambient of 10−5 m2 s−1. The enhanced mixing around the AE center in the upper −1000 m appears where the underlying bathymetry is shallower than −4000 m and is mainly sustained by tidally generated internal waves.
