Grande et petite histoire chez Thomas Chapais
Authors: Chahine Karim 
Published: September 2024

Thomas Chapais (1858-1946) est l’un des premiers historiens canadiens-français à consacrer une partie de ses écrits et discours à des réflexions sur les formes que peut prendre l’écriture de l’histoire. À une époque où sa notoriété est déjà bien établie, il élabore une réflexion originale sur le cadre monographique et le cadre synthétique en s’inscrivant explicitement dans une conception littéraire et poétique de l’histoire. À la base de ces idées sur la forme, on retrouve deux approches de l’histoire relevant d’un même mode d’enquête mais utilisant des focales d’observation différentes : la grande histoire et la petite histoire. En amont de cette réflexion, Chapais a tenté de résoudre la tension entre « impartialité » et « impassibilité ». Cette opération lui permet d’élaborer sa conception de l’historien idéal, soucieux à la fois de la vérité historique, de l’attachement à une réalité nationale et de l’importance du style dans l’écriture.
Qu’est-ce qu’un label ? Formulation de l’identité à travers les systèmes de certification dans la construction de la nation post-coloniale groenlandaise
Authors: Ren Carina , Becker Jacobsen Rikke 
Published: September 2024

Dans cet article, nous explorons le lien entre les systèmes de certification industrielle et la formulation de l’identité dans un contexte plus large d’indépendance du Groenland. Nous explorons les visions ethno-politiques et les interférences qui émanent du processus d’indépendance nationale comme outil heuristique, en nous appuyant sur trois labels de durabilité utilisés dans les secteurs de la pêche, de la chasse et du tourisme au Groenland. En nous basant sur leur conception de la durabilité, nous cherchons à savoir si et dans quelle mesure les systèmes de certification volontaires et enregistrés sous la tutelle du gouvernement autonome du Groenland ajoutent à la manière dont la recherche a précédemment défini les identités groenlandaises. Nous examinons également la manière dont ces systèmes de certification contiennent, évoquent, soutiennent ou contestent les catégories ethno-nationales pertinentes pour la construction de la nation groenlandaise. En conclusion, nous soutenons que les régimes de certification au Groenland s’appuient sur des anciennes et émergentes catégories d’identité collective, contribuant ainsi au repositionnement continu des secteurs économiques clés du Groenland dans la construction de la nation postcoloniale.

Recurrent embedded substorms during the 19 October 1998 GEM storm
Authors: Henderson M. G. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractThe 18–19 October 1998 GEM (Geospace Environment Modeling) storm was associated with a long interval of remarkably steady southward interplanetary magnetic field. In this study we demonstrate that classical substorms occurred throughout the interval and that the storm appears to be composed of the typical two‐mode response consisting of a recurrent loading/unloading cycle on a timescale of approximately 2–4 h together with an episodic/bursty continuously driven component operating on a timescale of 5–15 min. The loading/unloading activity is manifested as typical poleward expanding “embedded” substorms (embedded into the auroral oval) emerging from the equatorward regions of the auroral distribution, while the continuously driven component is manifested by the episodic ejection of streamers equatorward from poleward boundary activations. The streamers subsequently produce torches and eastward drifting omega bands which likely moderate the need for substorms to occur more frequently than observed.
Observed eddy dissipation in the Agulhas Current

Published: August 2016

AbstractAnalyzing eddy characteristics from a global data set of automatically tracked eddies for the Agulhas Current in combination with surface drifters as well as geostrophic currents from satellite altimeters, it is shown that eddies from the Mozambique Channel and south of Madagascar dissipate as they approach the Agulhas Current. By tracking the offshore position of the current core and its velocity at 30°S in relation to eddies, it is demonstrated that eddy dissipation occurs through a transfer of momentum, where anticyclones consistently induce positive velocity anomalies, and cyclones reduce the velocities and cause offshore meanders. Composite analyses of the anticyclonic (cyclonic) eddy‐current interaction events demonstrate that the positive (negative) velocity anomalies propagate downstream in the Agulhas Current at 44 km/d (23 km/d). Many models are unable to represent these eddy dissipation processes, affecting our understanding of the Agulhas Current.
High‐latitude ionospheric conductivity variability in three dimensions
Authors: McGranaghan Ryan , Knipp Delores J. , Matsuo Tomoko 
Published: August 2016

AbstractWe perform the first ever global‐scale, altitude‐dependent analysis of polar ionospheric conductivity variability using spectrally resolved in situ satellite particle measurements. With an empirical orthogonal function analysis we identify three primary modes of three‐dimensional variability related to ionospheric footprints of the quiet and disturbed geospace environment: (1) perturbation of the quasi‐permanent auroral oval, (2) differing projections of electron precipitation during southward and northward interplanetary magnetic field, and (3) a likely imprint of variation in Alfvénic Poynting flux deposition. Together, these modes account for >50% of the total conductivity variability throughout the E region ionosphere. Our results show that height‐integrated conductance and height‐dependent conductivities are distinctly different, underscoring the importance of studying the ionosphere in three dimensions. We provide the framework for future three‐dimensional global analysis of ionosphere‐magnetosphere coupling.
Sinuosity of midlatitude atmospheric flow in a warming world
Authors: Cattiaux Julien , Peings Yannick , Saint‐Martin David , Trou‐Kechout Nadege , Vavrus Stephen J. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractGlobal warming is expected to affect midlatitude atmospheric dynamics through changes in the equator‐to‐pole temperature gradient. While the latitudinal expansion of the tropics would induce both a poleward shift and reinforcement of the westerlies, Arctic changes might counterbalance this effect. Beyond position and speed, potential changes in the flow waviness are crucial for midlatitude weather. Here we investigate such changes through an intuitive metric characterizing the flow sinuosity at 50°N. We find that despite a slight increase in recent reanalyses, the midlatitude sinuosity is projected to decrease in response to climate change according to CMIP5 simulations. Recent trends could therefore result from internal variability or different timings of tropical and polar influences. Future uncertainties are dominated by model discrepancies and partially linked to the dispersion in the equator‐to‐pole temperature gradient response. Our results support the hypothesis that a faster westerly flow is expected to be less sinuous (and vice‐versa).
Generalized magnetotail equilibria: Effects of the dipole field, thin current sheets, and magnetic flux accumulation
Authors: Sitnov M. I. , Merkin V. G. 
Published: August 2016

AbstractGeneralizations of the class of quasi‐1‐D solutions of the 2‐D Grad‐Shafranov equation, first considered by Schindler in 1972, are investigated. It is shown that the effect of the dipole field, treated as a perturbation, can be included into the original 1972 class solution by modification of the boundary conditions. Some of the solutions imply the formation of singularly thin current sheets. Equilibrium solutions for such sheets resolving their singular current structure on the scales comparable to the thermal ion gyroradius can be obtained assuming anisotropic and nongyrotropic plasma distributions. It is shown that one class of such equilibria with the dipole‐like boundary perturbation describes bifurcation of the near‐Earth current sheet. Another class of weakly anisotropic equilibria with thin current sheets embedded into a thicker plasma sheet helps explain the formation of thin current sheets in a relatively distant tail, where such sheets can provide ion Landau dissipation for spontaneous magnetic reconnection. The free energy for spontaneous reconnection can be provided due to accumulation of the magnetic flux at the tailward end of the closed field line region. The corresponding hump in the normal magnetic field profile Bz(x,z = 0) creates a nonzero gradient along the tail. The resulting gradient of the equatorial magnetic field pressure is shown to be balanced by the pressure gradient and the magnetic tension force due to the higher‐order correction of the latter in the asymptotic expansion of the tail equilibrium in the ratio of the characteristic tail current sheet variations across and along the tail.
Assessing

apanese Writing Ability
Authors: Kondo‐Brown Kimi 
Published: August 2016

Abstract
Adequate inferences of writing ability can only be made through performance assessments that involve actual writing (compositions, essays), not through discrete‐point testing such as in multiple‐choice tests. This entry discusses the following issues related to assessing Japanese writing performance, which have received considerable attention in recent decades: cultural influence on rhetorical organization, conceptualizing “good” writing in Japanese, assessing Japanese L1 and L2 academic writing, and validating the essay test in the Nihon Ryūgaku Shiken (the Examination for Japanese University Admission for International Students, a high‐stakes Japanese proficiency exam).

ObjectiveTo investigate the association of musculoskeletal pain with objectively determined obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and subjective sleep measures in a population‐based sample.MethodsParticipants were community‐dwelling men (n = 360) age ≥35 years from the Men Androgen Inflammation Lifestyle Environment and Stress (MAILES) study. Shoulder, back, hip, knee, hand, and foot pain were assessed by computer‐assisted telephone interview or self‐completed questionnaire. OSA was determined with full in‐home unattended polysomnography (Embletta X100) scored by 2007 American Academy of Sleep Medicine alternative criteria. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale assessed daytime sleepiness and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index assessed sleep quality.ResultsOSA was not associated with the presence of any joint pain (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.03 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.61–1.76]). There was no association between OSA and pain in any specific joint (shoulder, back, hip, knee, hand, or foot), nor was the number of joints in pain associated with OSA. There was, similarly, no association between pain variables and excessive daytime sleepiness, except for hand pain (OR 3.10 [95% CI 1.50–6.39]). However, pain was associated with poor sleep quality: any pain (OR 2.19 [95% CI 1.25–3.82]), shoulder pain (OR 2.16 [95% CI 1.25–3.75]), back pain (OR 2.24 [95% CI 1.41–3.55]), and foot pain (OR 2.47 [95% CI 1.43–4.26]). The number of painful joints was also associated with poor sleep quality (5–6 joints versus no joints OR 7.34 [95% CI 2.30–23.42]).ConclusionNo association between OSA and pain or between daytime sleepiness and pain was found. Consistent with previous reports, poor sleep quality was associated with musculoskeletal pain in this population sample. The etiologic differences between OSA‐related sleep disruption and poor subjective sleep quality require further investigation.
Improvement in soil grouting by biocementation through injection method
Authors: Kakelar Mahdi Maleki , Ebrahimi Sirous , Hosseini Mohammadjavad 
Published: August 2016

AbstractIn order to reduce the cost of microbial‐induced carbonate precipitation, an in situ soil improvement technique, two cost‐effective methods have been developed. At first, possible replacement of costly yeast extract medium with sodium acetate for Sporosarcina pasteurii growth was evaluated. Thereafter, a sequencing batch mode of injection has been introduced. The unconfined compressive strength of 525 kPa with uniform CaCO3 distribution was obtained even for poorly graded coarse sand using the proposed injection method. According to economic considerations, by using this injection method, a substantial cost saving (53.4%) has been achieved, inducing the feasibility of biocementation technology for practical applications.
