Les intellectuels et la crise de la démocratie
Authors: Chabal Emile 
Published: May 2017

L’intellectuel français existe-t-il toujours ? Si oui, se positionne-t-il de plus en plus à droite ? Pour répondre à ces deux questions, cet article retrace les grandes lignes du développement de la vie intellectuelle en France depuis les années 1970, aussi bien dans sa forme (la médiatisation) que dans son contenu (l’émergence de nouveaux débats). Il analyse également l’avenir de l’intellectuel dans un contexte de crise démocratique mondiale afin de proposer une nouvelle définition de « l’intellectuel engagé ».
Le Capital lu par Moishe Postone : alchimie ou astrologie ?
Authors: Bidet Jacques 
Published: May 2017

Le livre de Moishe Postone, Temps, travail et domination sociale , (Postone 1993), se donne comme une interprétation hégélienne du Capital de Marx. Le capital est le grand sujet qui se meut lui-même sous la pulsion de la valeur. Son « mouvement » est référé non à des rapports de classe, ni au marché (supposé extérieur au travail), mais à la contrainte temporelle inhérente à une dialectique propre à la valeur, qui nous enchaîne tous dans un procès infini de travail abstrait. Le règne de la valeur détruit le monde concret des valeurs d’usage. Et cela jusqu’à ce que l’on prenne conscience de la contradiction entre ce qu’ est la société capitaliste et ce qu’elle « devrait être ». Un tel exposé, fondé sur une méthode consistant à interpréter cette œuvre à partir de son brouillon, les Grundrisse , négligeant les 15 années de réélaboration qui ont suivi, est, selon l’auteur, construit sur la base de multiples confusions concernant les concepts marxiens ici en jeu : travail, domination, valeur, valorisation, abstraction, production.
Le travail comme échange chez Saint-Exupéry : penser l’articulation des trois dimensions du travail
Authors: Guéry Bernard 
Published: May 2017

Les apports pour la gestion de la conception du travail de Saint-Exupéry dans Citadelle constituent l’objet de cet article. Après avoir présenté le « schème herméneutique » (Sabot 2002), qui constitue le cadre méthodologique, le travail comme échange en gestion est brièvement présenté pour qu’apparaisse ensuite dans toute son originalité la vision du travail comme échange chez Saint-Exupéry. Il s’agit pour le travailleur d’échanger sa vie contre l’éternité, pour s’arracher aux prises du temps qui mène à la mort, en se transférant dans l’empire, via l’œuvre accomplie. Nous montrons comment, grâce à la pensée de Saint-Exupéry, une articulation organique des trois dimensions du travail du modèle de Gomez (2013) et envisageable. C’est, en effet, dans la réalisation d’une œuvre (objectif) contre un salaire qui permet de consommer, que le travailleur se donne plus profondément lui-même à l’empire (collectif), don qui le fait advenir à un être plus grand (subjectif). Cette articulation est alors propre à questionner trois éléments du contexte managérial : le lien entre le travail et la réussite de la vie, les difficultés des cycles courts de l’emploi, la prise en compte des parties prenantes.
Que veut Homo œconomicus  ?
Authors: Lapied André , Swaton Sophie 
Published: May 2017

R. Robb (2009a) a initié récemment un rapprochement de la volonté de puissance dans la philosophie de Nietzsche avec la science économique et plus spécialement avec la modélisation du comportement des agents. Il a ainsi voulu mettre en évidence l’incompatibilité de l’approche économique standard avec la volonté de puissance, d’une part, et présenter des exemples supposés montrer que, dans de nombreuses situations, la seconde possède un pouvoir explicatif supérieur à la première. Cette thèse a suscité une controverse portant sur ces deux points avec J. J. Heckman (2009). Cette polémique présente de nombreuses lacunes dues à une conception superficielle et parfois erronée de la philosophie nietzschéenne, supportée par l’utilisation d’une source bien connue pour être fautive. Cet article vise à réévaluer la controverse, en se fondant sur le texte de Nietzsche restitué par Colli et Montinari. L’enjeu consiste à tirer une meilleure leçon de la philosophie nietzschéenne en matière de comportement des agents.
Customized Topography-Guided Corneal Collagen Cross-linking for Keratoconus
Authors: Cassagne Myriam , Pierné Kévin , Galiacy Stéphane D. , Asfaux-Marfaing Marie-Pierre , Fournié Pierre , Malecaze François 
Published: May 2017

PURPOSE:
To compare the efficacy and safety of topography-guided corneal collagen cross-linking (TG-CXL) to conventional corneal CXL (C-CXL) in progressive keratoconus.

METHODS:

In this prospective, nonrandomized clinical trial, 60 eyes of 60 patients were scheduled to receive either TG-CXL (30 eyes with deepithelialization focused on the cone, riboflavin application for 10 minutes, and 30 mW/cm
2
pulsed ultraviolet-A irradiance pattern according to topography) or C-CXL (30 eyes treated in accordance with the Dresden protocol). Patients were observed for 1 year postoperatively. Maximum keratometry (Kmax), mean keratometry in the inferior part of the cornea (I index), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), demarcation line observed in optical coherence tomography, and nerves and cell densities analyzed by confocal microscopy were compared preoperatively and at 1 year postoperatively.

Results:

The difference was significant for both Kmax (
P
< .01) and I index (
P
< .01) between the two groups. CDVA improved significantly in the TG-CXL (0.2162 ± 0.2495 logMAR,
P
< .05) versus the C-CXL (0.2648 ± 0.2574 logMAR,
P
= .104) group. A stromal demarcation line was observed in both treatment groups, with similar depth at the top of the cone (
P
= .391), but it was shallower at the surrounding area in the TG-CXL group (
P
< .0001). Stromal evaluation by confocal microscopy showed less damage and faster healing in the surrounding area than on the cone area in the TG-CXL group.

CONCLUSIONS:
At 1 year postoperatively, TG-CXL seems to be as safe as C-CXL with stronger flattening in Kmax and I index and better improvement in CDVA. TG-CXL induces a biological gradient between the cone and the surrounding area that facilitates nerve and cell recovery.

Comparative Analysis of the Clinical Outcomes of SMILE and Wavefront-Guided LASIK in Low and Moderate Myopia
Authors: Khalifa Mounir A. , Ghoneim Ahmed , Shafik Shaheen Mohamed , Aly Mohamed G. , Piñero David P. 
Published: May 2017

PURPOSE:
To compare the clinical outcomes of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and wavefront-guided LASIK (WFG LASIK) in eyes with low and moderate myopia.

METHODS:
This was a prospective, comparative study enrolling 110 eyes with low and moderate myopia (spherical equivalent ≤ 6.00 diopters [D]). Two groups were differentiated according to the surgical technique used: the WFG LASIK group included 51 eyes (51 patients) undergoing WFG LASIK using the STAR S4IR excimer laser and the iDesign aberrometer (Abbott Medical Optics, Abbott Park, IL) and the SMILE group included 59 eyes (59 patients) undergoing SMILE with the VisuMax platform (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). Visual, refractive, aberrometric, and contrast sensitivity outcomes were evaluated during a 6-month follow-up.

RESULTS:

Mean efficacy index was 0.92 ± 0.11 and 1.12 ± 0.17 in the SMILE and WFG LASIK groups, respectively (
P
< .001). Postoperative spherical equivalent was within ±0.50 D in 81.54% and 98% of eyes in the SMILE and WFG LASIK groups (
P
< .001), and postoperative cylinder was 0.50 or below in 84.7% and 100% of eyes, respectively (
P
= .038). Mean safety index was 0.98 ± 0.08 and 1.20 ± 0.14 in the SMILE and WFG LASIK groups (
P
< .001), with losses of lines of corrected distance visual acuity in 6.8% and 0.0% of eyes, respectively. Higher increase in higher order (
P
< .001) and coma (
P
< .001) root mean square and higher decrease in contrast sensitivity for 6, 12, and 18 cycles/degree (
P
≤ .001) were observed after SMILE.

CONCLUSIONS:

SMILE and WFG LASIK are efficacious and safe procedures for the correction of low and moderate myopia, but WFG LASIK allows a more predictable outcome and better aberrometric control.

Endothelial CD2AP Binds the Receptor ICAM-1 To Control Mechanosignaling, Leukocyte Adhesion, and the Route of Leukocyte Diapedesis In Vitro
Authors: Schaefer Antje , van Duijn Trynette J. , Majolee Jisca , Burridge Keith , Hordijk Peter L. 
Published: May 2017

Abstract
Inflammation is driven by excessive transmigration (diapedesis) of leukocytes from the blood to the tissue across the endothelial cell monolayer that lines blood vessels. Leukocyte adhesion, crawling, and transmigration are regulated by clustering of the endothelial mechanosensitive receptor intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Whereas several proteins are known to promote ICAM-1 function, the molecular mechanisms that limit ICAM-1–mediated adhesion to prevent excessive leukocyte transmigration remain unknown. We identify the endothelial actin-binding protein CD2-associated protein (CD2AP) as a novel interaction partner of ICAM-1. Loss of CD2AP stimulates the dynamics of ICAM-1 clustering, which facilitates the formation of ICAM-1 complexes on the endothelial cell surface. Consequently, neutrophil adhesion is increased, but crawling is decreased. In turn, this promotes the neutrophil preference for the transcellular over the paracellular transmigration route. Mechanistically, CD2AP is required for mechanosensitive ICAM-1 downstream signaling toward activation of the PI3K, and recruitment of F-actin and of the actin-branching protein cortactin. Moreover, CD2AP is necessary for ICAM-1–induced Rac1 recruitment and activation. Mechanical force applied on ICAM-1 impairs CD2AP binding to ICAM-1, suggesting that a tension-induced negative feedback loop promotes ICAM-1–mediated neutrophil crawling and paracellular transmigration. To our knowledge, these data show for the first time that the mechanoreceptor ICAM-1 is negatively regulated by an actin-binding adaptor protein, i.e., CD2AP, to allow a balanced and spatiotemporal control of its adhesive function. CD2AP is important in kidney dysfunction that is accompanied by inflammation. Our findings provide a mechanistic basis for the role of CD2AP in inflamed vessels, identifying this adaptor protein as a potential therapeutic target.

Abstract
Sepsis is characterized by a disproportionate host response to infection that often culminates in multiple organ failure. Current concepts invoke a deregulated immune reaction involving features of hyperinflammation, as well as protracted immune suppression. However, owing to the scarcity of human data, the precise origin of a long-term suppression of adaptive immunity remains doubtful. We report on an explorative clinical study of chronic critical illness (CCI) patients aimed at assessing the long-term consequences of sepsis on T cell function. Blood was drawn from 12 male CCI patients (median age 67 y, range 48–79 y) receiving continuous mechanical ventilation and renal replacement therapy in a long-term care hospital who had been treated in an external acute care hospital for severe sepsis. T cells were purified and subjected to flow cytometric immune-phenotyping and functional assays. We found that T cells from CCI patients featured higher basal levels of activation and stronger expression of the inhibitory surface receptor programmed cell death 1 compared with controls. However, T cells from CCI patients exhibited no suppressed TCR response at the level of proximal TCR signaling (activation/phosphorylation of PLCγ, Erk, Akt, LAT), activation marker upregulation (CD69, CD25, CD154, NUR77), IL-2 production, or clonal expansion. Rather, our data illustrate an augmented response in T cells from CCI patients in response to TCR/coreceptor (CD3/CD28) challenge. Thus, the present findings reveal that CCI sepsis patients feature signs of immune suppression but that their T cells exhibit a primed, rather than a suppressed, phenotype in their TCR response, arguing against a generalized T cell paralysis as a major cause of protracted immune suppression from sepsis.
Mesh Quality and More Detailed Error Estimates of Finite Element Method
Authors: Huang Yunqing , Wang Liupeng , Yi Nianyu 
Published: May 2017

AbstractIn this paper, we study the role of mesh quality on the accuracy of linear finite element approximation. We derive a more detailed error estimate, which shows explicitly how the shape and size of elements, and symmetry structure of mesh effect on the error of numerical approximation. Two computable parameters Ge and Gv are given to depict the cell geometry property and symmetry structure of the mesh. In compare with the standard a priori error estimates, which only yield information on the asymptotic error behaviour in a global sense, our proposed error estimate considers the effect of local element geometry properties, and is thus more accurate. Under certain conditions, the traditional error estimates and supercovergence results can be derived from the proposed error estimate. Moreover, the estimators Ge and Gv are computable and thus can be used for predicting the variation of errors. Numerical tests are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed parameters Ge and Gv.
A Stochastic Galerkin Method for the Boltzmann Equation with Multi-Dimensional Random Inputs Using Sparse Wavelet Bases
Authors: Shu Ruiwen , Hu Jingwei , Jin Shi 
Published: May 2017

AbstractWe propose a stochastic Galerkin method using sparse wavelet bases for the Boltzmann equation with multi-dimensional random inputs. Themethod uses locally supported piecewise polynomials as an orthonormal basis of the random space. By a sparse approach, only a moderate number of basis functions is required to achieve good accuracy in multi-dimensional random spaces. We discover a sparse structure of a set of basis-related coefficients, which allows us to accelerate the computation of the collision operator. Regularity of the solution of the Boltzmann equation in the random space and an accuracy result of the stochastic Galerkin method are proved in multi-dimensional cases. The efficiency of the method is illustrated by numerical examples with uncertainties from the initial data, boundary data and collision kernel.
The spatial distribution and temporal variation of desert riparian forests and their influencing factors in the downstream Heihe River basin, China

Published: May 2017

Abstract. Desert riparian forests are the main restored vegetation community in Heihe River basin. They provide critical habitats and a variety of ecosystem services in this arid environment. Since desert riparian forests are also sensitive to disturbance, examining the spatial distribution and temporal variation of these forests and their influencing factors is important to determine the limiting factors of vegetation recovery after long-term restoration. In this study, field experiment and remote sensing data were used to determine the spatial distribution and temporal variation of desert riparian forests and their relationship with the environmental factors. We classified five types of vegetation communities at different distances from the river channel. Community coverage and diversity formed a bimodal pattern, peaking at the distances of 1000 and 3000 m from the river channel. In general, the temporal normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) trend from 2000 to 2014 was positive at different distances from the river channel, except for the region closest to the river bank (i.e. within 500 m from the river channel), which had been undergoing degradation since 2011. The spatial distribution of desert riparian forests was mainly influenced by the spatial heterogeneity of soil properties (e.g. soil moisture, bulk density and soil particle composition). Meanwhile, while the temporal variation of vegetation was affected by both the spatial heterogeneity of soil properties (e.g. soil moisture and soil particle composition) and to a lesser extent, the temporal variation of water availability (e.g. annual average and variability of groundwater, soil moisture and runoff). Since surface (0–30 cm) and deep (100–200 cm) soil moisture, bulk density and the annual average of soil moisture at 100 cm obtained from the remote sensing data were regarded as major determining factors of community distribution and temporal variation, conservation measures that protect the soil structure and prevent soil moisture depletion (e.g. artificial soil cover and water conveyance channels) were suggested to better protect desert riparian forests under climate change and intensive human disturbance.
The Foreign Exchange Exposures and Enterprise Risk Management: Evidence from Hospitality Industry in Taiwan
Authors: Hsiao Chiu Ming 
Published: May 2017

This paper adopts ARIMA model to explore the relationship between business performance and the fluctuation of exchange rate. The empirical results show that the impacts of the fluctuation of foreign exchange rate on the business performance of hotels are significant and different across currencies and the size of a hotel. Furthermore, based on the framework of Kim (2013), a modern portfolio theory proposed by Markowitz (1952) gives an optimal allocation of foreign exchange for a hotel’s decision-makers, who would avoid exchange rate risk exposure and complete the construction of enterprise risk management system (ERM) to reduce losses.
Het subversieve Brabant
Authors: Klerks P. 
Published: May 2017

Subversive Brabant
Various forms of organized crime are concentrated in the Dutch province of North Brabant, bordering Belgium. In this essay it is argued that specific historic, geographic, social economic, cultural and social psychological factors created an enduring window of opportunity in which criminality can flourish. Brabant is portrayed as a marginalized province that suffered from war, exploitation by the central government, rural gangs, a lack of law enforcement, extreme poverty as well as from discrimination because of its mainly catholic population. Against this background the population developed a mentality of solving problems on their own. Their survival strategies implied not only legal activities like agriculture and small-scale production in private houses, workplaces and factories, but also smuggling and illegal alcohol production. In more recent times the production of synthetic drugs, growing cannabis and transport criminality became widespread.
De verschuiving van illegale drugsmarkten van Nederland naar België
Authors: De Middeleer F. , De Ruyver B. 
Published: May 2017

The displacement of illegal drug markets from the Netherlands to Belgium. Perception or reality?
Recent figures indicate that certain drug markets, or at least parts of it, shift from the Netherlands to Belgium. However, it is still unclear whether it is a displacement of some parts of the illicit drug markets or whether it should be seen as a diversification of certain parts of some illicit drug markets in terms of spreading of risks and taking profit of new opportunities. In this respect, this article contributes to an ongoing research (DISMARK) by providing an overview of drug policy measures most recently taken by the Netherlands, from a Belgian point of view, and by trying to link these developments to drug-related trends in Belgium. It is clear that both countries will have to invest in a common approach of their common drug problems. However, it is not yet possible to draw any profound conclusions on the actual displacement of illicit drug markets.
Evaluation of the Long-Term Impact of a Curriculum-Integrated Medical Information Literacy Program
Authors: Maranda Suzanne , Harding Brittany , Kinderman Laura 
Published: May 2017

Introduction: Medical libraries have long provided educational programs to support evidence-based practice. Medical students at Queen’s University, Kingston, Ontario, participate in a curriculum-integrated information literacy program during the first two years of medical school. Do they retain, improve, or forget the skills? Do they continue to use the library resources during clerkship? Did they encounter barriers to prevent them from using the resources? Methods: A short survey was administered to 99 students at the end of medical school. The survey included questions about medical students’ attitudes and behaviours, their use of information resources, and their medical information literacy knowledge. Some of the knowledge questions were compared to pre- and post-tests that the same class completed in first year. Results: Fifty-three students completed the survey. The students rated their abilities very highly but there was only a weak positive relationship with the knowledge scores. Information resources were well used, both for clinical questions and to complete the mini-scholar exercises.Discussion: Medical students feel better prepared to answer clinical questions and their skills improved or remained the same for the content that could be compared between first and fourth year. Different resources were used for day-to day information needs and for the completion of the minischolar exercises. The results will inform changes to the Medical Information Literacy program at Queen’s University. The librarians will explore some of the barriers to access to ensure that future students can use information resources with more ease while away from campus.
