Le champ lexical de l’eau et son imaginaire dans les cultures française et russe (étude comparative)
Authors: Vérézubova Ekatérina 
Published: April 2017

La présente recherche porte sur l’étude comparative des aspects socioculturels de l’emploi des mots liés au champ lexical de l’eau en français et en russe. Nous partons de la représentation de la langue-culture comme d’un continu permettant de relever les particularités de la vision du monde des sujets parlants à travers les connotations et les emplois des mots dans des contextes différents. Ce sont les aspects affectif, imagé, mais aussi l’aspect évocateur, ou « de milieu » que nous avons choisi comme points de repère dans notre recherche. Nous utilisons dans notre démarche les données de dictionnaires et procédons à l’analyse des proverbes, dictons, expressions imagées et des contes français et russes pour découvrir les particularités du monde imaginaire, des associations nationales dans les langues-cultures respectives (il s’agit de la convergence totale, partielle ou absence de convergence de l’image. Cette étude devrait être complétée par l’emploi terminologique des mots et expressions du champ lexical de l’eau qui sont, dans la langue française, très souvent formés par la voie métaphorique (vive-eau, morte-eau signifiant la marée montante ou descendante, eau morte et eau vive renvoyant à l’eau stagnante ou l’eau qui coule), alors que la langue russe préfère réserver l’image au langage de la littérature (eau vive et morte dans les contes russes). De plus, les mots appartenant au champ lexical de l’eau sont largement employés en français dans la sphère de finances (verser, versement, liquidités, flux financiers, etc.) et, moins largement, en russe (sous forme d’emprunts, calques le plus souvent). Ces investigations de termes « aquatiques » dans les deux langues permettront de relever les nuances de leur emploi et de leurs connotations dont la connaissance est d’une grande importance pour les traducteurs.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3792
Les métaphores de l’eau dans Les Fleurs du Mal de Charles Baudelaire
Authors: Mema Laureta 
Published: April 2017

Le langage poétique Baudelairien doit « imposer tous les temps et tous les univers » (Bénédiction) en intériorisant l’univers, y compris le conscient et l’inconscient, la vie et la mort entrant en rapport avec lui, pour que le monde humain brise ses vitres et que le poète puisse regarder au-delà pour en sortir « du nouveau ». Nous allons arrêter notre regard dans le processus de la métamorphose de l’eau (un élément important pour Baudelaire qui se transforme souvent en mer) pour naviguer premièrement dans le désir érotique et deuxièmement dans une destinée humaine existentielle. Le désir érotique du poète dépendra de l’eau, affin de quitter le monde terrestre et trouver son île paradisiaque où il pourra protéger sa vie amoureuse (« L’Invitation au Voyage »). Mais de l’autre coté, l’eau miroitera le désespoir du poète qui est destinée à aimer la femme corrompue, infernale (« Moesta et Arrabunda », « Un voyage à Cythère »). À part le désir érotique, on verra que les métaphores de l’eau surgissent et tourbillonnent quand le poète médite à la destinée humaine. Les métaphores de l’eau essayent d’expliquer la fatalité de la vie malheureuse du poète (« L’Ennemie », « Le Cygne ») ou ils viennent à l’aide pour le consoler, en lui renvoyant sa propre image (« L’Homme et la Mer »).

Published: April 2017

Abstract. Mercury is a chemical with widespread anthropogenic emissions that is known to be highly toxic to humans, ecosystems and wildlife. Global anthropogenic emissions are around 20 % higher than natural emissions and the amount of mercury released into the atmosphere has increased since the industrial revolution. In 2005 the European Union and the United States adopted measures to reduce mercury use, in part to offset the impacts of increasing emissions in industrialising countries. The changing regional emissions of mercury have impacts on a range of spatial scales. Here we report 4 years (December 2011–December 2015) of total gaseous mercury (TGM) measurements at the Cape Verde Observatory (CVO), a global WMO-GAW station located in the subtropical remote marine boundary layer. Observed total gaseous mercury concentrations were between 1.03 and 1.33 ng m−3 (10th, 90th percentiles), close to expectations based on previous interhemispheric gradient measurements. We observe a decreasing trend in TGM (−0.05 ± 0.04 ng m−3 yr−1, −4.2 % ± 3.3 % yr−1) over the 4 years consistent with the reported decrease of mercury concentrations in North Atlantic surface waters and reductions in anthropogenic emissions. The decrease was more visible in the summer (July–September) than in the winter (December–February), when measurements were impacted by air from the African continent and Sahara/Sahel regions. African air masses were also associated with the highest and most variable TGM concentrations. We suggest that the less pronounced downward trend inclination in African air may be attributed to poorly controlled anthropogenic sources such as artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) in West Africa.

Introdução: O câncer é reconhecido como uma doença familiar, não apenas sob o ponto de vista genético, mas pelo impacto que gera. É uma doença que exige mudanças e reorganização na vida cotidiana, incorporando os familiares nos cuidados que o tratamento exige. Objetivo: Compreender os sentimentos de familiares cuidadores ao enfrentarem o diagnóstico, o tratamento e a evolução do câncer em um ente querido. Métodos: Pesquisa qualitativa, realizada com sete familiares cuidadores de parentes com câncer e em tratamento; no segundo semestre de 2011, em uma unidade de oncologia na cidade de Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas, que foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas pela técnica de análise do conteúdo. Resultados: Os familiares demonstraram sentimentos relacionados à mudança de vida, angústias e privações que o tratamento do câncer impõe. Declararam-se cansados, estressados, amedrontados e chorosos, vivendo uma grande oscilação emocional. Porém, na tentativa de superar o sofrimento, os mesmos se atem à religiosidade. Conclusão: O cuidado ao paciente oncológico não deve ser centrado apenas no doente ou na doença, mas na família que o rodeia, requerendo um cuidado humanizado, com apoio físico e psicossocial, proporcionando à família qualidade de vida durante o tratamento.
A prescrição de benzodiazepínicos no Brasil: uma análise da literatura
Authors: Fiorelli Katiana , Assini Fabricio Luiz 
Published: April 2017

Benzodiazepínicos são medicamentos psicotrópicos de prescrição restrita e sujeitos a controle especial, conforme a Portaria nº 344, de 12 de maio de 1998. São utilizados como hipnóticos e sedativos, sendo bastante comuns na prática clínica. O uso prolongado destes fármacos pode causar dependência e por isso é necessário identificar seu perfil de prescrição. Este estudo busca revisar a literatura sobre os trabalhos que descreveram o uso de benzodiazepínicos no Brasil. Para isso, uma busca direta foi realizada em três bases de dados, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), PubMed e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO), utilizando os descritores prescrição/prescription, benzodiazepínicos/benzodiazepines, Brasil/Brazil. Depois de aplicados os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, restaram 12 artigos, os quais foram analisados. A análise destes trabalhos mostrou que, no Brasil, os benzodiazepínicos são utilizados especialmente por mulheres com tendência ao aumento do uso com o avançar da idade. Desta maneira, conclui-se que permanece a necessidade de políticas públicas que busquem o uso racional destes fármacos.

AbstractQuantitative information regarding the long‐term variability of precipitation and vegetation during the period covering both the Late Glacial and the Holocene on the Qinghai‐Tibetan Plateau (QTP) is scarce. Herein, we provide new and numerical reconstructions for annual mean precipitation (PANN) and vegetation history over the last 18,000 years using high‐resolution pollen data from Lakes Dalianhai and Qinghai on the northeastern QTP. Hitherto, five calibration techniques including weighted averaging, weighted average‐partial least squares regression, modern analogue technique, locally weighted weighted averaging regression, and maximum likelihood were first employed to construct robust inference models and to produce reliable PANN estimates on the QTP. The biomization method was applied for reconstructing the vegetation dynamics. The study area was dominated by steppe and characterized with a highly variable, relatively dry climate at ~18,000–11,000 cal years B.P. PANN increased since the early Holocene, obtained a maximum at ~8000–3000 cal years B.P. with coniferous‐temperate mixed forest as the dominant biome, and thereafter declined to present. The PANN reconstructions are broadly consistent with other proxy‐based paleoclimatic records from the northeastern QTP and the northern region of monsoonal China. The possible mechanisms behind the precipitation changes may be tentatively attributed to the internal feedback processes of higher latitude (e.g., North Atlantic) and lower latitude (e.g., subtropical monsoon) competing climatic regimes, which are primarily modulated by solar energy output as the external driving force. These findings may provide important insights into understanding the future Asian precipitation dynamics under the projected global warming.

AbstractA simple and robust satellite‐based method for estimating agricultural field to regional surface energy fluxes at a high spatial resolution is important for many applications. We developed a simple temperature domain two‐source energy balance (TD‐TSEB) model within a hybrid two‐source model scheme by coupling “layer” and “patch” models to estimate surface heat fluxes from Landsat thematic mapper/Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (TM/ETM+) imagery. For estimating latent heat flux (LE) of full soil, we proposed a temperature domain residual of the energy balance equation based on a simplified framework of total aerodynamic resistances, which provides a key link between thermal satellite temperature and subsurface moisture status. Additionally, we used a modified Priestley‐Taylor model for estimating LE of full vegetation. The proposed method was applied to TM/ETM+ imagery and was validated using the ground‐measured data at five crop eddy‐covariance tower sites in China. The results show that TD‐TSEB yielded root‐mean‐square‐error values between 24.9 (8.9) and 78.2 (21.4) W/m2 and squared correlation coefficient (R2) values between 0.60 (0.51) and 0.97 (0.90), for the estimated instantaneous (daily) surface net radiation, soil, latent, and sensible heat fluxes at all five sites. The TD‐TSEB model shows good accuracy for partitioning LE into soil (LEsoil) and canopy (LEcanopy) components with an average bias of 11.1% for the estimated LEsoil/LE ratio at the Daman site. Importantly, the TD‐TSEB model produced comparable accuracy but requires fewer forcing data (i.e., no wind speed and roughness length are needed) when compared with two other widely used surface energy balance models. Sensitivity analyses demonstrated that this accurate operational model provides an alternative method for mapping field surface heat fluxes with satisfactory performance.
Rainfall variability in the Himalayan orogen and its relevance to erosion processes
Authors: Deal Eric , Favre Anne‐Catherine , Braun Jean 
Published: April 2017

AbstractRainfall is an important driver of erosion processes. The mean rainfall rate is often used to account for the erosive impact of a particular climate. However, for some erosion processes, erosion rate is a nonlinear function of rainfall, e.g., due to a threshold for erosion. When this is the case, it is important to take into account the full distribution of rainfall, instead of just the mean. In light of this, we have characterized the variability of daily rainfall over the Himalayan orogen using high spatial and temporal resolution rainfall data sets. We find significant variations in rainfall variability over the Himalayan orogen, with increasing rainfall variability to the west and north of the orogen. By taking into account variability of rainfall in addition to mean rainfall rate, we find a pattern of rainfall that, from a geomorphological perspective, is significantly different from mean rainfall rate alone. Using these findings, we argue that short‐term rainfall variability may help explain observed short and long‐term erosion rates in the Himalayan orogen.

Published: April 2017

AbstractGraphene oxide (GO) has been developed as an inexpensive, environmental friendly, metal‐free carbocatalyst for the dehydrogenation of nitrogen heterocycles. Valuable compounds, such as quinoline, 3,4‐dihydroisoquinoline, quinazoline, and indole derivatives, have been successfully used as substrates. The investigation of various oxygen‐containing molecules with different conjugated systems indicated that both the oxygen‐containing groups and large π‐conjugated system in GO sheets are essential for this reaction.magnified image
Evolution and revolution of laparoscopic liver resection in Japan
Authors: Kaneko Hironori , Otsuka Yuichiro , Kubota Yoshihisa , Wakabayashi Go 
Published: April 2017

AbstractDue to important technological developments and improved endoscopic techniques, laparoscopic liver resection (LLR) is now considered the approach of choice and is increasingly performed worldwide. Recent systematic reviews and meta‐analyses of observational data reported that LLR was associated with less bleeding, fewer complications, and no oncological disadvantage; however, no prospective randomized trials have been conducted. LLR will continue to evolve as a surgical approach that improves patient's quality of life. LLR will not totally supplant open liver surgery, and major LLR remains to be technically challenging procedure. The success of LLR depends on individual learning curves and adherence to surgical indications. A recent study proposed a scoring system for stepwise application of LLR, which was based on experience at high‐volume Japanese centers. A cluster of deaths after major LLR was sensationally reported by the Japanese media in 2014. In response, the Japanese Society of Hepato‐Biliary‐Pancreatic Surgery conducted emergency data collection on operative mortality. The results demonstrated that mortality was not higher than that for open procedures except for hemi‐hepatectomy with biliary reconstruction. An online prospective registry system for LLR was established in 2015 to be transparent for patients who might potentially undergo treatment with this newly developed, technically demanding surgical procedure.

AbstractTriplex‐Nukleinsäuren sind ein Teil des umfangreichen “Struktur‐Werkzeugkastens”, der für die Entwicklung von Nanostrukturen und Materialien auf DNA‐Basis eingesetzt wird. Dieser Aufsatz behandelt die Verwendung von DNA‐Triplexen für die Konstruktion von Sensorplattformen und molekularen Schaltern. Daneben behandeln wir die pH‐induzierte, schaltbare Assoziation und Dissoziation von Triplex‐DNA‐verbrückten Nanostrukturen. Dazu gehören die Aggregation/Deaggregation von Nanopartikeln, die reversible Oligomerisierung von Origamikacheln oder DNA‐Zyklen und die Verwendung von Triplex‐DNA‐Strukturen als Funktionseinheiten zum Aufbau von pH‐responsiven Systemen und Materialien. Beispiele hierfür sind Halbleiter‐beladene DNA‐stabilisierte Mikrokapseln und DNA‐funktionalisierte Farbstoff‐beladene Metall‐organische Gerüste (MOFs) sowie die pH‐induzierte Freisetzung der Beladungen. Auch stimuliresponsive Hydrogele auf DNA‐Basis, die unter Verwendung von Triplex‐Nukleinsäuren reversible pH‐induzierte Hydrogel‐zu‐Lösung‐Übergänge durchlaufen und die Verwendung von Triplex‐DNA zum Herstellen von Formgedächtnis‐Hydrogelen werden behandelt. Schließlich wird ein Ausblick auf zukünftige Anwendungen und Perspektiven für Triplex‐Nukleinsäuren gegeben.

AbstractA Periodic System was proposed for the elements 1–172 by Pyykkö on the basis of atomic and ionic calculations. In it, the elements 121–138 were nominally assigned to a 5g row. We now perform molecular, relativistic four‐component DFT calculations and find that the hexafluorides of the elements 125–129 indeed enjoy occupied 5g states.

Published: April 2017

AbstractLong noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as essential players in gene regulation. An ever‐increasing number of lncRNAs has been found to be associated with the biogenesis and prognosis of gastric cancer (GC). We aimed to develop an lncRNA signature with prognostic value for survival outcomes of GC. Using an lncRNA mining approach, we analyzed the lncRNA expression profiles of 492 GC patients from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), which consisted of the GSE62254 set (N = 300) and the GSE15459 set (N = 192). The associations between the lncRNAs’ expression and survival outcome were evaluated. A set of three lncRNAs (LINC01140, TGFB2‐OT1, and RP11‐347C12.10) was identified to significantly correlate with overall survival. These lncRNAs were then combined to form a single prognostic signature. Based on this three‐lncRNA expression signature, patients in the GSE62254 set were classified into high‐ and low‐risk subgroups with significantly different overall survival (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.93, P < 0.001) and disease‐free survival (HR = 1.91, P < 0.001). Good reproducibility for the prognostic value of this lncRNA signature was confirmed in the GSE15459 set. Further analysis showed that the prognostic value of this signature was independent of some clinical characteristics. Gene set enrichment analysis indicated that high‐risk scores positively related to several molecular pathways of cancer metastasis. Our results suggest that this innovative lncRNA expression signature may be a useful biomarker for the prognosis of patients with GC based on bioinformatics analysis.
New Hydrazides and Hydrazide‐Hydrazones of 2,3‐Dihalogen Substituted Propionic Acids: Synthesis and in vitro Antimicrobial Activity Evaluation
Authors: Popiołek Łukasz , Biernasiuk Anna 
Published: April 2017

The main aim of this research was the synthesis, spectral identification and in vitro antimicrobial evaluation of new hydrazides and hydrazide‐hydrazones of 2,3‐dihalogen substituted propionic acids. New hydrazides were obtained by the substitution reaction of appropriate ethyl esters of 2,3‐dihalogen substituted propionic acids with hydrazine hydrate. Then obtained hydrazides were subjected to condensation reaction with various aldehydes which yielded with new hydrazide‐hydrazone derivatives. All obtained compounds were identified on the basis of spectral methods (1H‐NMR, 13C‐NMR) and in vitro screened against a panel of bacterial and fungal strains according to EUCAST and CLSI guidelines.

Published: April 2017

AbstractIn order for facilitating the synthesis of oligosaccharides, transglycosylation reactions mediated by glycoside hydrolases have been studied in various contexts. In this study, we examined the transglycosylating activity of a Golgi endo‐α‐mannosidase. We prepared various glycosyl donors and acceptors, and recombinant human Golgi endo‐α‐mannosidase and its various mutants were expressed. The enzyme was able to mediate transglycosylation from α‐glycosyl‐fluorides. Systematic screening of various point mutants revealed that the E407D mutant had excellent transglycosylation activity and extremely low hydrolytic activity. Substrate specificity analysis revealed that minimum motif required for glycosyl acceptor is Manα1– 2Man. The synthetic utility of the enzyme was demonstrated by generation of a high‐mannose‐type undecasaccharide (Glc1Man9GlcNAc2).

Published: April 2017

AbstractBiodiesel as alternative for conventional diesel fuel is mainly produced by the catalytic reaction of triglycerides with an alcohol. In this work, the purification of biodiesel was carried out with two lab‐made solvent‐resistant composite nanofiltration membranes of poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) as support and poly(dimethylsiloxane) as coating layer. Biodiesel was obtained from the esterification of partially refined soy oil with bioethanol (EtOH) and NaOH as catalyst. The best biodiesel purification performance was achieved with the PVDF‐12SI membrane reaching high retention of glycerol, total glycerides, and soap. PVDF‐SI membranes were found to have an excellent stability for biodiesel permeation, achieving a flux recovery ratio of EtOH as high as 0.94 after twenty cycles of use.
