Interview de Rafael Correa
Authors: Correa Rafael , Boisson Stéphane 
Published: December 2017

Rafael Correa remporte l’élection présidentielle en Équateur le 26 novembre 2006. Il est investi à ce poste le 15 janvier 2007. Une nouvelle Constitution destinée à « enterrer le modèle néolibéral » et à le remplacer par un nouveau modèle de développement est élaborée par une assemblée constituante. Elle est adoptée par voie référendaire le 28 septembre 2008 et permet d’accélérer les réformes. Soucieux d’asseoir leur légitimité, Rafael Correa organise une élection présidentielle anticipée qu’il remporte au premier tour avec 54 % des voix le 26 avril 2009 pour un mandat de quatre ans.Rafael Correa est économiste de formation. Il a entrepris ses études à Guayaquil, avant de poursuivre à l’Université catholique de Louvain, puis à l’Université de l’Illinois. Il a été professeur en sciences économiques de 1993 à 2005. Il se définit comme un humaniste et chrétien de gauche. Sa politique se caractérise par une forte volonté de se détacher de l’influence des États-Unis, premier partenaire commercial de l’Équateur.Son arrivée au pouvoir intervient sept ans après la dollarisation complète de l’économie en 2000, après deux années de crise financière. La dollarisation a permis d’enrayer un début d’hyperinflation mais elle n’est pas parvenue à installer une croissance stable et à enrayer la pauvreté (70 % de la population sous le seuil de la pauvreté). L’économie équatorienne reste très dépendante de ses exportations de pétrole brut, de banane et de fleurs et reste vulnérable du fait de son endettement extérieur. En décembre 2008, le président Correa a prononcé un moratoire sur le paiement des intérêts d’une partie de la dette souveraine, suite à un audit démontrant le caractère « odieux » et « illégal » d’emprunts passés avec les banques JP Morgan et Citibank.
La notion de société civile dans les politiques et pratiques du développement
Authors: Pirotte Gautier 
Published: December 2017

Vieux concept de la philosophie politique occidentale, la notion de société civile connaît une immense popularité depuis près de trois décennies. Ce succès s’est accompagné de multiples critiques touchant à son caractère nébuleux - comme à la charge idéologique qui l’accompagne. Son utilité scientifique pour l’analyse des changements politiques et sociaux en dehors de la sphère occidentale est mise en question. Enveloppe vide se remplissant de sens particuliers selon les acteurs et les contextes sociaux et culturels rencontrés, les nouvelles sociétés civiles non occidentales doivent avant tout être étudiées comme des projets, des réalités en gestation, à la jonction de dynamiques propres aux sociétés locales où elles apparaissent et de dynamiques extérieures à ces sociétés qui privilégient certains acteurs (notamment les organisations non gouvernementales), une acception particulière du concept (dans une perspective proche d’un tiers-secteur) et fournissent également une partie conséquente des ressources nécessaires à la vitalité de ces projets. Pourtant, cette approche dite « par projet » est encore relativement peu développée. L’article insiste sur la nécessité de promouvoir cette lecture des sociétés civiles non occidentales et souligne l’importance d’une approche empirique plus complexe se dégageant de biais quantitativistes et associatifs présents au sein d’une large part des travaux conduits jusqu’ici sur ce sujet.
Les « clubs de troc » argentins : un microcosme monétaire Credito dépendant du macrocosme Peso
Authors: Ould-Ahmed Pepita 
Published: December 2017

Cet article s’intéresse à un cas concret de système monétaire local, celui des « clubs de troc » développés en Argentine à partir de 1995. Contrairement à ce que leur nom laisse penser, les « clubs de troc » désignent des espaces marchands communautaires, à l’intérieur desquels les transactions économiques sont réglées en credito, monnaie-papier interne et non convertible avec la monnaie officielle. La question que pose ce type d’expérience monétaire parallèle est de savoir pourquoi et sous quelles conditions cette monnaie privée non convertible avec la monnaie officielle parvient à être acceptée. Est-ce que ce micro-système monétaire peut fonctionner de manière indépendante et cloisonnée, ou bien a-t-il besoin de nouer des rapports avec le macro-système monétaire officiel ? Telles sont les questions auxquelles cet article se propose de répondre.
Faut-il croire le classement de Shangaï ?
Authors: Billaut Jean-Charles , Bouyssou Denis , Vincke Philippe 
Published: December 2017

Nous proposons dans cet article une analyse critique du classement mondial des universités publié chaque année par l’Institut de l’Enseignement supérieur de l’Université Jiao Tong de Shangaï et plus connu sous le nom de « classement de Shangaï ». Après avoir rappelé comment le classement est construit, nous discutons de la pertinence des critères utilisés. Nous analysons ensuite la méthode d’agrégation proposée. Notre analyse se fonde sur les outils et concepts de l’« aide multicritère à la décision ». Nos conclusions principales sont que les critères utilisés ne sont pas pertinents, que la méthode d’agrégation présente des problèmes majeurs et que l’exercice souffre d’une réflexion insuffisante sur les questions liées à la structuration du problème. Le classement de Shangaï, malgré la grande couverture médiatique qu’il reçoit chaque année, n’est donc pas un outil pertinent pour juger de la « qualité » des institutions académiques, guider le choix des étudiants ou des familles, ou promouvoir des réformes du système d’enseignement supérieur.
Polanyi contre Freeman
Authors: Postel Nicolas , Sobel Richard 
Published: December 2017

L’approche dominante de la RSE est celle menée en termes de « parties prenantes » (R. E. Freeman). Davantage qu’une théorie, elle est un slogan qui irrigue autant le discours scientifique que les discours managérial et politique. On peut en faire deux lectures. La première, pour nous réductrice, est celle d’une déconstruction de l’entreprise comme institution et son remplacement par une forme de représentation marchande fondée sur des échanges bilatéraux entre individus rationnels. La seconde, plus prometteuse s’agissant d’identifier les potentialités de la RSE en termes de régulation du capitalisme, revient à armer la notion de partie prenante d’une théorie de l’acteur et de l’institution. C’est la position que nous défendons en mobilisant l’institutionnalisme de Karl Polanyi.
La RSE comme instrument de gouvernance d’entreprise : une application à l’industrie française des télécommunications
Authors: Cézanne Cécile , Rubinstein Marianne 
Published: December 2017

Associant les travaux sur la « nouvelle firme » (Zingales, 2000) aux inflexions récentes de la responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise (RSE), cet article montre que les entreprises utilisent désormais la RSE comme instrument de gouvernance d’entreprise. Cette conception instrumentale de la RSE est corroborée par une étude empirique de l’industrie française des télécommunications. L’étude des documents officiels et d’entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès des responsables de la RSE chez les opérateurs français de téléphonie atteste que la RSE est utilisée pour mettre en œuvre des dispositifs formels et informels de gouvernance d’entreprise, complémentaires de ceux du modèle actionnarial, dans une logique de pérennisation des relations d’emploi et de sous-traitance créatrices de valeur ajoutée.

Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:
Tumour protein p53 (TP53) is a stress sensitive transcription factor responsible for the control of cell survival and death to prevent from tumour formation. In vitro and animal studies have indicated that TP53 also responds to metabolic changes and influences metabolic pathways. This study was undertaken to determine the serum level of TP53 and its correlations with clinical and biochemical parameters in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients in comparison to non-diabetic control individuals.

Methods:
An observational study was conducted between December 2009 and November 2013 to evaluate TP53 serum level using ELISA. Cases (n=225) were defined as patients who were diagnosed with T2DM. Non-diabetic controls (n=255) were matched by age and sex. Multivariable modelling using logistic regression examined associations between clinical characteristics and TP53 level or T2DM predication was performed.

Results:
Serum TP53 level was significantly higher in T2DM patients as compared to non-diabetic healthy controls (1.69 vs 2.07 ng/ml, P <0.001). In T2DM patients, the level of TP53 increased with the age, duration of diabetes and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) value. A logistic regression analysis revealed that increased serum TP53 level was significantly associated with family history of diabetes, age and WHR. Moreover, TP53, triglyceride and body mass index could be used to predict T2DM.

Interpretation & conclusions:
Our results suggest that TP53 may be linked with T2DM. The fluctuations of serum TP53 level may reflect metabolic and oxidative stress associated with chronic hyperglycaemia. Further studies need to be done to confirm these findings.

Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:
Diabetes is a global disease burden. Various stem cell types are being explored to serve as an alternative source of islets. This study was conducted to evaluate the ability of in-house developed human embryonic stem (hES) cells-derived pancreatic progenitors to ameliorate diabetic symptoms in mice.

Methods:
Pancreatic progenitors were packed in macro-capsules and transplanted into six male Swiss mice and four mice were taken as controls. Thirty days post-transplantation, diabetes was induced by streptozotocin treatment. Mice were then followed up for >100 days and body weight and blood glucose levels were regularly monitored.

Results:
Control mice lost weight, maintained high glucose levels and did not survive beyond 40 days, whereas transplanted group maintained body weight and four of the six mice had lowered blood glucose levels. About five-fold increase was observed in human C-peptide levels in the recipients of progenitor transplants as compared to diabetic control.

Interpretation & conclusions:
The beneficial effect of transplanted cells was not long-lasting. Further studies are required to critically evaluate and compare the potential of endogenous pluripotent stem cells and hES cells-derived progenitors before moving from bench to the bedside.

Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:
A knowledge-based, logically-linked online telepsychiatric decision support system for diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders was developed and validated. We evaluated diagnostic accuracy and reliability of the application at remote sites when used by non-psychiatrists who underwent a brief training in its use through video-conferencing.

Methods:
The study was conducted at a nodal telepsychiatry centre, and three geographically remote peripheral centres. The diagnostic tool of application had a screening followed by detailed criteria-wise diagnostic modules for 18 psychiatric disorders. A total of 100 consecutive consenting adult outpatients attending remote telepsychiatry centres were included. To assess inter-rater reliability, patients were interviewed face to face by non-specialists at remote sites using the application (active interviewer) and simultaneously on online application via video-conferencing by a passive assessor at nodal centre. Another interviewer at the nodal centre rated the patient using Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) for diagnostic validation.

Results:
Screening sub-module had high sensitivity (80-100%), low positive predictive values (PPV) (0.10-0.71) but high negative predictive value (NPV) (0.97-1) for most disorders. For the diagnostic sub-modules, Cohen's kappa was >0.4 for all disorders, with kappa of 0.7-1.0 for most disorders. PPV and NPV were high for most disorders. Inter-rater agreement analysis revealed kappa >0.6 for all disorders.

Interpretation & conclusions:
Diagnostic tool showed acceptable to good validity and reliability when used by non-specialists at remote sites. Our findings show that diagnostic tool of the telepsychiatry application has potential to empower non-psychiatrist doctors and paramedics to diagnose psychiatric disorders accurately and reliably in remote sites.
A review of Indian research on co-occurring cannabis use disorders & psychiatric disorders
Authors: Singh Shalini , Balhara Yatan Pal Singh 
Published: December 2017

Background & objectives:
Cannabis is a widely used illicit drug and its use is often associated with co-occurring psychiatric disorders. This systematic review was aimed to provide information on the published Indian studies on co-occurring cannabis use disorders and psychiatric disorders.

Methods:
An electronic search of available Indian literature using relevant search terms was carried out in May 2015 and 52 articles in English language published from India were included in the current review.

Results:
Studies on cannabis and associated psychotic disorders (n=16) chiefly described acute episodes with predominant positive symptoms, following cannabis use. Some studies (n=6) observed an overall increased prevalence of all psychiatric disorders and symptoms owing to cannabis use, while others (n=14) elaborated on high rates of substance use in those with psychiatric disorders. The effect of cannabis use on cognitive function was the focus of some of the Indian studies (n=7). All these studies barring one had all male subjects, and a single study described the service delivery model for those with dual diagnosis disorders in India. Most of the research used cross-sectional observational design and focussed on treatment-seeking population.

Interpretation & conclusions:
A review of Indian literature on cannabis use and its association with psychiatric disorders indicates a high co-prevalence of psychotic disorders, especially in vulnerable individuals as well as high rates of co-occurrence of other psychiatric comorbidities. However, there is limited focus on exploring the aetiological association between cannabis use and psychiatric disorders; understanding the neurobiology of this association and management-related issues.
Statistical atmospheric inversion of local gas emissions by coupling the tracer release technique and local-scale transport modelling: a test case with controlled methane emissions
Authors: Ars Sébastien , Broquet Grégoire , Yver Kwok Camille , Roustan Yelva , Wu Lin , Arzoumanian Emmanuel , Bousquet Philippe 
Published: December 2017

Abstract. This study presents a new concept for estimating the pollutant emission rates of a site and its main facilities using a series of atmospheric measurements across the pollutant plumes. This concept combines the tracer release method, local-scale atmospheric transport modelling and a statistical atmospheric inversion approach. The conversion between the controlled emission and the measured atmospheric concentrations of the released tracer across the plume places valuable constraints on the atmospheric transport. This is used to optimise the configuration of the transport model parameters and the model uncertainty statistics in the inversion system. The emission rates of all sources are then inverted to optimise the match between the concentrations simulated with the transport model and the pollutants' measured atmospheric concentrations, accounting for the transport model uncertainty. In principle, by using atmospheric transport modelling, this concept does not strongly rely on the good colocation between the tracer and pollutant sources and can be used to monitor multiple sources within a single site, unlike the classical tracer release technique. The statistical inversion framework and the use of the tracer data for the configuration of the transport and inversion modelling systems should ensure that the transport modelling errors are correctly handled in the source estimation. The potential of this new concept is evaluated with a relatively simple practical implementation based on a Gaussian plume model and a series of inversions of controlled methane point sources using acetylene as a tracer gas. The experimental conditions are chosen so that they are suitable for the use of a Gaussian plume model to simulate the atmospheric transport. In these experiments, different configurations of methane and acetylene point source locations are tested to assess the efficiency of the method in comparison to the classic tracer release technique in coping with the distances between the different methane and acetylene sources. The results from these controlled experiments demonstrate that, when the targeted and tracer gases are not well collocated, this new approach provides a better estimate of the emission rates than the tracer release technique. As an example, the relative error between the estimated and actual emission rates is reduced from 32 % with the tracer release technique to 16 % with the combined approach in the case of a tracer located 60 m upwind of a single methane source. Further studies and more complex implementations with more advanced transport models and more advanced optimisations of their configuration will be required to generalise the applicability of the approach and strengthen its robustness.
Autoridad docente y Nuevas Tecnologías: cambios, retos y oportunidades
Authors: Plaza de la Hoz Jesús 
Published: December 2017

La relación pedagógica ha sido siempre objeto de estudio y reflexión. Cuando la educación trasciende el ámbito familiar y se generaliza su acceso en la escuela de masas, se vuelve problemática la conexión entre autoridad docente y valores democráticos. Con la irrupción de las nuevas tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) el escenario cambia de nuevo. El objetivo de este artículo es doble; por una parte, analizar la bibliografía reciente sobre las transformaciones que las tecnologías imprimen en la autoridad pedagógica; por otro se contrastan esos resultados con un estudio de campo. Se han revisado los últimos artículos sobre la relación entre autoridad docente y TIC a través de Google Scholar, Dialnet o Web of Science, primando su actualidad; el estudio cualitativo se basa en la técnica de los grupos de discusión, así como en el posterior Análisis de Datos Cualitativos Asistido por Ordenador (CAQDAS), por medio del programa Atlas.ti.7. Como resultado, las TIC, lejos de anular la autoridad del profesor la afianzan, aunque con un enfoque muy distinto al tradicional; se advierte así un proceso todavía paulatino de adaptación que modifica el sentido de la autoridad desde un carácter impositivo a uno demostrativo. Por tanto el estudio de la literatura reciente destaca el impacto que la sociedad red y las tecnologías tienen en el quehacer docente, algo que se comprueba en el estudio de campo. Por otro lado el tamaño de la muestra y su carácter cualitativo dejan abierta la perspectiva de si las TIC reforzarán el papel de autoridad del profesor, como aquí se sugiere, o lo harán superfluo, como indican los más críticos.
“Better That All of the Story Never Be Told”: Zelda Fitzgerald's Sister's Letters to Arthur Mizener
Authors: Bryer Jackson R. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
In late June 1950, Rosalind Sayre Smith, Zelda Fitzgerald's sister, sent two letters to Arthur Mizener, after Fitzgerald's daughter “Scottie” sent her the manuscript of Mizener's forthcoming Fitzgerald biography. This article for the first time publishes extensive excerpts from Smith's letters, which offer important, first-hand commentary on, among other subjects, the Sayre family, the Fitzgeralds' wedding, Zelda Fitzgerald's ballet studies, Zelda Fitzgerald's hospitalization at Highland Hospital, and the aftermath of the Fitzgeralds' ill-fated trip to Cuba in April 1939.
Revisiting “Babylon Revisited”: A Critical Retrospective
Authors: Malmgren Carl D. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article argues that even given all the accolades showered upon “Babylon Revisited” (1931), critics have yet to appreciate the full measure of Fitzgerald's accomplishment. What critics have passed over is Fitzgerald's narratological prowess, his admirable command of the point of view of the story. The basic issues debated by critics for nearly fifty years now are if Charlie is in fact a changed man and if he deserves to get his daughter back. This article takes a hard look at Fitzgerald's technique in order to answer these questions, to bring out nuances in the story that critics have overlooked, and to give Fitzgerald the full credit he deserves.
Jay Gatsby, Failed Intellectual: F. Scott Fitzgerald's Trope for Social Stratification
Authors: Bechtel Dianne E. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article explores F. Scott Fitzgerald's drawing of the character Jay Gatsby in conjunction with Pierre Bourdieu's theory of the habitus. It seeks to explain why Jay Gatsby has failed at his attempt to maintain wealth, love interest, and even his life. It describes the social and economic realities that make up the conditions of class status and character behavior that lead to Gatsby's lack of survival. The article argues that the social structures and relevant practices of economic status in literature and everyday life are products of inculcated sociopolitical structures and substructures. Characters like Jay Gatsby are governed by, and sealed within, an unchanging class structure regardless of upward mobility. Much in the fashion of Bourdieu's habitus, Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby plays out his failure though the author's own unconsciously inculcated disposition. Gatsby cannot help but fail. Fitzgerald renders the class habitus through ideologically based cultural goods in the form of physical bodies and the trappings of wealth, showing these through the leitmotif of the American Dream. As such, Bourdieu's theory of the habitus and the social economy of cultural goods is deeply written in the discourse of Jay Gatsby's conflict just as surely as it reveals Fitzgerald's own struggle with class status.
Held to Account: Medieval Scribes at Sea
Authors: Tai Emily Sohmer 
Published: December 2017

ABSTRACT
This article draws upon legal sources and archival records from Barcelona, Venice, and Genoa to study the experience of scribes in the medieval Mediterranean. Just as Chaucer or Dante may have feared the scribe's power to alter compositions, so, too, did scribes excite apprehension among medieval agents of commerce. The weighty responsibilities assigned to scribes presented significant temptations for illicit enrichment, as well as risks, aboard the medieval ship. The dangers of a maritime venture were compounded, for the scribe, by risks incurred as keepers of the written record.
