“Napoléon in a Skirt”
Authors: Hobbs Jeffrey B. 
Published: October 2017

AbstractIn 1832 the Duchesse de Berry, the mother of the Bourbon heir to the throne, Henri V, returned to France to lead a rebellion against the newly formed July Monarchy. Lasting only a few days, her rebellion failed miserably in the western departments. However, the duchesse evaded capture until November 1832, when she was imprisoned in the Chateau de Blaye. The duchesse's rebellion and her subsequent imprisonment created national controversies that raised critical questions about the nature of representative government. After the Revolution of 1830, French liberals sought to ground political representation in the idea of male reason. However, capitalizing on the duchesse's popularity, legitimists countered that the state should represent the intimate emotions of private life. By examining public responses to the duchesse's rebellion, this article argues that legitimists and liberals contested state authority by employing competing emotional and gendered discourses about the nature of political representation.En 1832, la duchesse de Berry, la mère du dauphin Bourbon, Henri V, est revenue en France pour diriger une rébellion contre le nouveau gouvernement, la monarchie de Juillet. Après quelques jours, sa rébellion a échoué dans les départements de l'ouest. Néanmoins la duchesse s'est évadée jusqu'en novembre 1832, quand elle a été emprisonnée au château de Blaye. La rébellion de la duchesse et sa captivité provoquaient des controverses nationales sur le caractère du gouvernement représentatif. Après la révolution de 1830, les libéraux français tentaient de fonder la représentation politique sur l'idée de la raison masculine. Tirant profit de la popularité de la duchesse de Berry, les légitimistes ripostaient que le gouvernement représentatif devait être fondé sur les sentiments intimes de la vie privée. Analysant les réponses publiques à la rébellion de la duchesse de Berry, cet article soutient que les libéraux et les légitimistes contestaient l'autorité de l'Etat avec des discours opposés sur les sexes, le sentiment et la représentation politique.
La France redessinée ?
Authors: Attali Michaël 
Published: October 2017

PrécisLes années 1960 peuvent être considérées en France comme la décennie ayant donné une impulsion décisive dans le domaine des équipements de loisirs. Une volumineuse étude sur les comportements de loisirs vise à établir à la fois un état des lieux de la demande sociale et développe des préconisations novatrices en raison des représentations qui les caractérisent. Cette enquête introduit d'abord le principe de variabilité associé aux loisirs. Les auteurs de ce rapport définissent par ailleurs les fonctions sociales des loisirs qui doivent permettre d'assurer la cohésion sociale. Enfin, ils précisent leurs influences structurantes sur les espaces territoriaux. Les loisirs doivent en particulier permettre de compenser un mode de vie urbain et valoriser le rapport à la nature. Ces options participent d'une recomposition des formes culturelles liées aux loisirs. Ils s'inscrivent plus largement dans un phénomène de recomposition participant à étendre les villes pour intégrer de nouveaux espaces.The 1960s in France were a decisive decade in the development of leisure facilities. A major study of behavior patterns relating to leisure sought both to establish the demand for facilities and to develop innovative recommendations based on those results. First, the study introduced the concept of variability associated with leisure. In addition, the study's authors defined the social function of leisure as the encouragement of community cohesion. Lastly, they explored the structural influence of leisure facilities on cityscapes and urban living. Specifically, leisure activities had to compensate for urban lifestyles and to promote a connection with nature. Proposals of the period participated in a broad transformation of cultural practices related to leisure. Leisure choices played an active role in urban restructuring and cities' expansion into surrounding areas.
The James Bond of Cherbourg
Authors: Isaacson Robert B. 
Published: October 2017

AbstractIn late 1969 five embargoed missile boats were spirited out of the French port of Cherbourg by the Israelis, for whom they were being produced. While the Pompidou government expressed outrage over the Cherbourg affair, as the incident became known, French media and political discourse on the affair were largely approving, paradoxically praising Israeli audacity at the expense of the French government. Examination of understudied media and archival sources indicates that the ideational and discursive underpinnings of the midcentury French-Israeli alliance had survived the official French-Israeli rupture on the eve of the 1967 Six-Day War and continued to shape discourse and action into the 1970s. These findings indicate that the impact of 1967 must be understood as a process and not a paradigm-shattering moment in the history of French-Israeli relations, and they demonstrate that the erosion of French public and political support for Israel was slow and uneven.Vers la fin de 1969 cinq vedettes sous embargo ont été sorties en douce du port français de Cherbourg par les Israéliens pour qui elles ont été produites. Alors que le gouvernement Pompidou a exprimé son indignation sur l'affaire Cherbourg, comme on appelait couramment l'incident, le discours populaire et politique français sur l'affaire a été largement approbatif. Paradoxalement on louait l'audace israélienne au détriment du gouvernement français. Un examen des sources médiatiques et archivistiques peu étudiées indique que les bases conceptuelles et discursives de l'alliance franco-israélienne au milieu du siècle avaient survécu à la rupture officielle entre les deux pays à la veille de la guerre des Six Jours de 1967, et ont continué à façonner discours et action dans les années 1970. Ces résultats indiquent que l'impact de 1967 doit être compris comme un processus et non comme un moment charnière dans l'histoire des relations franco-israéliennes, et démontrent que l'érosion du soutien populaire français pour l'Israël était lente et irrégulière.
Is the Affordable Care Act Cultivating a Cross-Class Constituency? Income, Partisanship, and a Proposal for Tracing the Contingent Nature of Positive Policy Feedback Effects
Authors: Chattopadhyay Jacqueline 
Published: October 2017

AbstractSocial Security and Medicare enjoy strong political coalitions within the mass public because middle-class Americans believe they derive benefits from these programs and stand alongside lower-income beneficiaries in defending them from erosion. By pooling data from nine nationally representative surveys, this article examines whether the Affordable Care Act (ACA) is cultivating a similar cross-class constituency. The results show that middle-income Americans are less likely than low-income Americans to say the ACA has helped them personally so far. On the other hand, partisanship conditions the relationship between income and beliefs about benefits likely to be derived from the ACA in the long run. In total, the results suggest that cross-class Democratic optimism about long-run benefits may enable the ACA to reap positive beneficiary feedbacks, but a large and bipartisan cross-class constituency appears unlikely. Drawing on these results, this article also makes theoretical contributions to the policy feedback literature by underscoring the need for research on prospections' power in policy feedbacks and proposing a strategy for researchers, policy makers, and public managers to identify where partisanship intervenes in the standard policy feedback logic model, and thereby to better assess how it fragments and conditions positive feedback effects in target populations.
Resource Allocation for Equity in the British National Health Service, 1948–89: An Advocacy Coalition Analysis of the RAWP
Authors: Gorsky Martin , Millward Gareth 
Published: October 2017

AbstractBritain's National Health Service (NHS) is a universal, single-payer health system in which the central state has been instrumental in ensuring equity. This article investigates why from the 1970s a policy to achieve equal access for equal need was implemented. Despite the founding principle that the NHS should “universalize the best,” this was a controversial policy goal, implying substantial redistribution from London and the South and threatening established medical, political, and bureaucratic interests. Our conceptual approach draws on the advocacy coalition framework (ACF), which foregrounds the influence of research and ideas in the policy process. We first outline the spatial inequities that the NHS inherited, the work of the Resource Allocation Working Party (RAWP), and its new redistributive formula. We then introduce the ACF approach, analyzing the RAWP's prehistory and formation in advocacy coalition terms, focusing particularly on the rise of health economics. Our explanation emphasizes the consensual commitment to equity, which relegated conflict to more technical questions of application. The “buy-in” of midlevel bureaucrats was central to the RAWP's successful alignment of equity with allocative efficiency. We contrast this with the failure of advocacy for equity of health outcomes: here consensus over core beliefs and technical solutions proved elusive.

Background: Unplanned readmissions are frequent, associated with high costs and potentially preventable. Pre-discharge risk screening is a crucial step to prevent hospital readmissions. This study evaluates the LACE index as a tool capable of identifying patients with high risk of early readmission or death in an older Portuguese population. Methods: We performed a retrospective study in a tertiary care hospital in Portugal. All acute patients, aged ≥ 65 years, discharged from the Internal Medicine Service between 1 January and 30 June 2014 were included. Data was collected from hospital records. The LACE index was calculated for each patient. A comparative analysis was performed based on a cutoff of 10 (≥10 indicates a high-risk population) for the LACE score. Results: 1407 patients were evaluated, with a mean age of 81.7±7.6 years; 41.2% were male, 52.2% were dependent for ≥1 activities of daily living, the average Charlson comorbidity index was 3.54±2.8. There were 236 (16.8%) readmissions, 132 (9.4%) deaths and 307 (21.8%) patients were dead and/or readmitted within 30 days of discharge. At 90 days, 523 (37.2%) patients were dead and/or readmitted. The LACE score was higher in patients who died or were readmitted within 30 days compared with those who were not (13.2±2.7 versus 11.5±3.0, p <0.0001). Patients with LACE score ≥10 had significantly higher mortality and readmission rates compared to those with LACE score <10: at 30 days, 25.5% versus 9.3% (OR 3.34, 95% CI 2.24-4.98, p <0.0001); at 90 days, 43.4% versus 16.2% (OR 3.98, 95% CI 2.89-5.49, p <0.0001). However, the discriminative capacity of LACE index assessed by C-statistic was relatively poor: 0.663 (95% CI 0.630-0.696) and 0.676 (95% CI 0.648-0.704), respectively. Conclusions: This study shows that the LACE index should be used with reservations for predicting 30 and 90-day readmission or death in complex elderly patients.
MicroRNAs in the development and neoplasia of the mammary gland
Authors: Jena Manoj Kumar 
Published: October 2017

Study on the role of microRNAs (miRs) as regulators of gene expression through posttranscriptional gene silencing is currently gaining much interest,due to their wide involvement in different physiological processes. Understanding mammary gland development, lactation, and neoplasia in relation to miRs is essential. miR expression profiling of the mammary gland from different species in various developmental stages shows their role as critical regulators of development. miRs such as miR-126, miR-150, and miR-145 have been shown to be involved in lipid metabolism during lactation. In addition, lactogenic hormones influence miR expression as evidenced by overexpression of miR-148a in cow mammary epithelial cells, leading to enhanced lactation. Similarly, the miR-29 family modulates lactation-related gene expression by regulating DNA methylation of their promoters. Besides their role in development, lactation and involution, miRs are responsible for breast cancer development. Perturbed estrogen (E2) signaling is one of the major causes of breast cancer. Increased E2 levels cause altered expression of ERα, and ERα-miR cross-talk promotes tumour progression. miRs, such as miR-206, miR-34a, miR-17-5p, and miR-125 a/b are found to be tumour suppressors; whereas miR-21, miR-10B, and miR-155 are oncogenes. Oncogenic miRs like miR-21, miR-221, and miR-210 are overexpressed in triple negative breast cancer cases which can be diagnostic biomarker for this subtype of cancer. This review focuses on the recent findings concerning the role of miRs in developmental stages of the mammary gland (mainly lactation and involution stages) and their involvement in breast cancer progression. Further studies in this area will help us to understand the molecular details of mammary gland biology, as well as miRs that could be therapeutic targets of breast cancer.

Published: October 2017

Cel pracyUmiejscowienie chorobowych zmian skórnych może mieć znaczenie dla doświadczania choroby dermatologicznej i wpływać na stan psychiczny pacjentów. W badaniu dokonano oceny zależności między lokalizacją zmian skórnych a nasileniem objawów psychopatologicznych. W analizach uwzględniono także wpływ takich zmiennych jak tendencja do celowego ukrywania zmian oraz subiektywne odczucie stygmatyzacji ze strony otoczenia.MetodaW badaniu wzięło udział 150 osób w wieku 18-80 lat (M=46,14; SD=17,28) leczących się z powodu różnych chorób skóry. Pacjenci zostali przydzieleni do 3 równolicznych grup wg kryterium lokalizacji zmian – na całym ciele, zasłoniętych i odsłoniętych częściach ciała. Nasilenie objawów psychopatologicznych mierzono skalą SCL-90. Dane socjodemograficzne oraz związane z doświadczaniem choroby skóry (m.in. tendencja do celowego ukrywania zmian oraz subiektywne odczucie stygmatyzacji ze strony otoczenia) zebrano za pomocą ankiety skonstruowanej na potrzeby badania.WynikiStwierdzono zależność między lokalizacją zmian skórnych a nasileniem niektórych objawów psychopatologicznych, szczególnie wśród pacjentów nie leczących się z powodu pozadermatologicznych dolegliwości. Wykazano także, że na stan psychiczny pacjentów pośredniczący wpływ może mieć obecność tendencji do celowego ukrywania zmian oraz subiektywnie odczuwana niechęć ze strony otoczenia z powodu choroby skóry.WnioskiZgodnie z przewidywaniami najwyższe wyniki w zakresie nasilenia objawów psychopatologicznych uzyskiwali pacjenci ze zmianami na całym ciele. Pacjenci ze zmianami na odsłoniętych częściach ciała charakteryzują się wyższym nasileniem „nadwrażliwości interpersonalnej” w porównaniu z badanymi ze zmianami na zasłoniętych częściach ciała. W odniesieniu do pozostałych zmiennych SCL-90 prawidłowość ta jest odwrotna. Ten ostatni rezultat może skłaniać do kształtowania dalszego kierunku poszukiwań badawczych uwzględniających udział czynników psychospołecznych w funkcjonowaniu pacjentów z chorobami skóry.

Published: October 2017

Abstract
The importance of supporting families with members who have intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) is well-established in both policy and research. Yet little is known about how familiar parents are with existing resources (e.g., programs, supports, trainings), what information they would consider most helpful, and how they would prefer to access resources. Our study examined the resource needs of 1,738 parents of children and adults with IDD in the state of Tennessee. Most parents reported limited familiarity with programs across every domain (e.g., residential, vocational, postsecondary). The extent to which parents indicated various types of information would be helpful varied by demographic factors (e.g., daughter or son's age, disability diagnosis, socioeconomic status), as did the avenues through which they indicated they were most likely to access information and resources. We offer recommendations aimed at equipping parents with relevant supports and resources to guide their son or daughter's journey across the lifespan.
Exploring Diverse Effects of Four Types of Mobility on University Entrepreneurship
Authors: Yasuda Satoko 
Published: October 2017

<span>This study explores the mechanism by which mobility influences university entrepreneurship through an empirical analysis of Japanese scientists working for the University of Tokyo. It presents theory-driven typology of mobility and applies it to the knowledge-transfer context. First, this paper subdivides previously-studied mobility into four types – job mobility (JM), sector mobility (SM), international mobility (IM), and the educational background mobility (EBM). Then, it empirically shows that both JM and IM have positive and significant correlation with university entrepreneurship, whereas neither SM nor EBM does. Based on the result, this study discusses that JM and IM accelerate the formation of skills necessary for the commercialization of university research; however, SM and EBM may have no impact on it.</span>
Mass Producing Innovation: A Case Investigation on Why Accelerators Might Not Be a Paradox
Authors: Barnes Andrew 
Published: October 2017

<p>There are a growing number of accelerator programmes designed to start and support innovative startup businesses. Many accelerators are increasing the size of their intakes, with some programmes now launching over 200 new companies per year. On first inspection the large numbers and consistent approach taken to accelerating the participating companies appears to be in conflict with producing innovative and disruptive companies. This paper uses Y Combinator as a single case study to investigate whether increasing the number of companies within a batch has resulted in longer or shorter timeframes for companies to achieve an exit (through acquisition or initial public offering). The paper finds that the timeframe for achieving an exit for Y Combinator companies is reducing, even while batch size has sharply increased. There is no statistically significant correlation between the cohort size and the initial money raised during the programme. Keyword : Accelerators, Startups, Innovation</p>

Published: October 2017

Abstract
New organic single crystals of 2-amino-5-chloropyridinium-2,4-dinitrophenolate were successfully grown by the slow evaporation method at room temperature from methanol solution. Crystal structure and crystalline phases were confirmed from the single crystal XRD and powder XRD, respectively. 1H NMR and 13C NMR studies were conducted for the crystal. The functional groups have been confirmed using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis. UV-visible studies show the absence of absorption in the visible region. To determine the thermal stability of the grown crystals it was subjected to thermo gravimetric analysis and differential thermal analysis. Dielectric studies were taken in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 MHz for various temperatures. Photo conductivity and photoluminescence studies were also carried out for the title crystal. The second harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency of the grown crystals was 11.37 times greater than that of the reference KDP. Particle size dependent phase matching studies were also investigated. The nonlinear refractive index (n
2) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) were also measured by Z-Scan studies.

Published: October 2017

Abstract
The kinetics and mechanism of manganese(II) catalyzed oxidation of atenolol by cerium(IV) sulfate in aqueous H2SO4 at a constant ionic strength of 0.50 mol dm-3 was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction showed first order kinetics in cerium(IV) whereas fractional order in both manganese(II) and atenolol. Addition of products showed no effect on the rate of the reaction. The main product, 2-(4-(2-hydroxy-3-oxopropoxy)phenyl)acetamide, was identified with the aid of IR and mass spectral data. Stoichiometry with respect to the drug substrate and reagent was established as 2:1. Added H2SO4, SO4
2− and HSO4
− showed negligible effect on the rate of the reaction. HCe(SO4)3
− was found to be the predominant reactive species under the specified experimental conditions. The rate constants (k), catalytic constant (kc
) and equilibrium constant (K
6) for the proposed mechanism were determined. The kinetic and thermodynamic activation parameters were computed for both the slow rate determining step and complex forming equilibrium step.
Depth-from-Focus-Based 3D Reconstruction of Asphalt Pavement Micro-Texture
Authors: Cui X. , Zhou X. , Lou J. , Zhang J. , Ran M. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Three-dimensional image reconstruction is one of the basic methods to obtain the micro-texture characteristics of body surface. In this study, a novel 3D-reconstruction measurement technique is proposed to rapidly and reliably capture the features of asphalt pavement micro-texture. This technique is based on the depth-from-focus principle. Sequential images of pavement texture are hierarchically photographed using a monocular stereo microscope installed perpendicularly to the surface of asphalt specimen. These images focus on different depths of the pavement surface, and each pixel on the clear area of the images are orientated and combined into a fused image through the new proposed algorithm, which introduces the improved Laplacian focus operator. The three-dimensional picture of micro-texture can be reconstructed utilizing the MATLAB software with the altitude data of the pixels obtained through the Gaussian interpolation. Laboratory tests are described and the results exhibit that the proposed method can accurately reconstruct the three-dimensional micro-texture of asphalt pavement.
