Contributions to the knowledge of the multitemporal spatial patterns of the Iberian Peninsula droughts from a Geographic Information Science perspective
Authors: Domingo-Marimon Cristina 
Published: June 2016

Durante los últimos años el interés en el seguimiento y en los efectos de las sequías se ha incrementado a causa de las situaciones climáticas extremas acontecidas, sobre todo en la cuenca Mediterránea. Por ello, la caracterización espacio-temporal de la sequía en la Península Ibérica es fundamental para el seguimiento, previsión y gestión de sus consecuencias. Esta tesis contribuye al conocimiento de los patrones espaciales multitemporales de las sequías y sus efectos a nivel de Península desde la perspectiva de la Ciencia de la Información Geográfica. Con este objetivo, se identifica y se caracteriza la sequía a diferentes escalas espacio-temporales y se demuestra la necesidad de un nuevo marco conceptual donde la sequía forestal tenga su reconocimiento. A partir de datos climáticos y de teledetección se desarrolla una nueva base cartográfica climática (precipitación y temperatura) y de sequía (<em>Standardized Precipitation Index</em>- SPI and <em>Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index</em>- SPEI) para el periodo 1950-2012, a 8 escalas temporales diferentes, que incluye más de 14.000 mapas continuos a una resolución espacial de 100 m. Estos mapas permiten identificar la distribución espacial de las zonas más afectadas y cuantificar su intensidad y extensión temporal. Este enfoque multidimensional permite seguir la dinámica espacio-temporal de las sequías, las denominadas sequías en movimiento, y facilita la identificación de eventos simultáneos. Así mismo, se ha identificado un cambio de régimen de sequías súbito entre 1979 y 1981 que afecta al centro y el este de la Península Ibérica y que se anticipa de forma consistente a través de señales de alerta, que afecta directamente disminuyendo la fijación de carbono de los bosques mediterráneos de <em>Pinus halepensis</em>. El estudio se ha complementado con observaciones remotas de satélite a través de varios índices de vegetación derivados del sensor MODIS (<em>MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectoradiometer</em>) como posibles indicadores de parámetros del estado fisiológico de la vegetación en bosques. En resumen, la investigación llevada a cabo en esta tesis avanza en varios aspectos del estudio de la sequía tanto a nivel climático como a nivel forestal y consolida un avance en la investigación de estos fenómenos.

The aim of the experiment was to compare the reproductive performance and nursing behaviour of rabbit does reared under 2 different light intensities and observe the preference of does among cages with different light intensities. Female rabbits were randomly housed in 2 identical rooms, under the same housing conditions in wire-net cages. The 2 rooms only differed in the light intensity; group L: 150-200 lux (n=54 does, 230 inseminations), group D: 10-20 lux (n=54 does, 232 inseminations). Reproduction data from the first 5 consecutive reproductive cycles were evaluated. Nursing behaviour of the does (n = 24) was observed at the 2nd or 4th lactation. The preference of does (n=8) among 4 cages with different light intensities (10, 35, 75 or 155 lux) as examined. There were 6-7% difference between the 2 groups in the number of kits born in total and those born alive (born total: 11.25 vs. 10.59 kits, P&lt;0.1; liveborn: 10.75 vs. 10.00 kits, P&lt;0.05; in groups L and D, respectively). Suckling mortality was nearly 2% higher in group D (L: 8.1, D: 10.0%; P&lt;0.1), and in consequence the litter size of this group at 35 d of age was lower than that of the L rabbits (L: 8.75, D: 8.45 kits; P&lt;0.05). The light intensity did not affect litter and individual weights at 35 d of age. The average numbers of daily nursing events (L: 1.23/d, D: 1.32/d), the length (L: 208±49, D: 213±43 s) and the daily distribution of nursing events were not affected by high light intensity. During the light period of the day, the darkest cage (10 lux) was the most preferred by the does (44.0, 18.6, 17.9 and 19.5% in 10, 35, 75 and 155 lux cages, respectively; P&lt;0.001). The lower light intensity had no unambiguously unfavourable effect on the reproductive performance and nursing behaviour of the does. Based on the preference test, a lower light intensity may be advantageous from the point of view of animal welfare.

Género y orden social en “Autoridad/Cuerpo/ Nación: batallas culturales en Nicaragua (1930- 1943)”, de Juan Pablo Gómez
Authors: Antillón Camilo 
Published: June 2016

En un texto ya clásico, Joan Scott conceptualiza el género como “un elemento constitutivo de las relaciones sociales, las cuales se basan en las diferencias percibidas entre los sexos”, y como “una forma primaria de las relaciones simbólicas de poder” (2008, p. 65). En tanto elemento constitutivo de las relaciones sociales, el género implica, según la autora, cuatro elementos interrelacionados: primero, los símbolos disponibles que evocan múltiples representaciones, según los contextos históricos particulares; segundo, conceptos normativos que oponen y jerarquizan esos símbolos según el binario masculino-femenino; tercero: instituciones sociales, políticas y económicas, tales como el parentesco, el mercado y el régimen gubernamental; y cuarto, la producción de subjetividades.

Published: June 2016

The effects of frozen storage on weight loss during freezing, cooking yield, dimensional changes, and instrumental texture parameters of tilapia fish burger were evaluated during 6 months. Frozen storage for 1 month significantly increased the fish burger shear force, hardness and thickness reduction. Weight loss during freezing (0.6 ± 0.1 %) did not increase with storage time. There was no hardness (29.9 ± 0.7 N) and shear force (5.5 ± 0.2 N) increase during the frozen storage from 1 to 6 months. Tilapia fish burger can be stored for up to 6 months with minor physical changes.
Falar de Joaquim é falar de Dalton!

Published: June 2016

O artigo aborda a trajetória da revista Joaquim que nasceu para quebrar com uma hegemonia dominante que se impunha à literatura paranaense há mais de meio século, a do Paranismo, que através de uma elite local criou e apadrinhou o campo das artes paranaenses. Assim sendo, para que se possa entender as mudanças sofridas no campo das correntes literárias curitibanas, e o impacto causado por Joaquim na sociedade paranaense dos anos 1930/50, faremos uma retrospectiva histórica do ambiente cultural a fim de podermos contextualizar o nascimento da revista e em que modo ela pode, em um determinado momento reunir jovens literários dispostos a romper com a dominação do então representativo Movimento Paranista, abrindo espaço para uma outra forma de expressão literária, a dos modernistas.
Opposite Effects of Coinjection and Distant Injection of Mesenchymal Stem Cells on Breast Tumor Cell Growth

Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) usually promote tumor growth and metastasis. By using a breast tumor 4T1 cell-based animal model, this study determined that coinjection and distant injection of allogeneic bone marrow-derived MSCs with tumor cells could exert different effects on tumor growth. Whereas the coinjection of MSCs with 4T1 cells promoted tumor growth, surprisingly, the injection of MSCs at a site distant from the 4T1 cell inoculation site suppressed tumor growth. We further observed that, in the distant injection model, MSCs decreased the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells and regulatory T cells in tumor tissues by enhancing proinflammatory factors such as interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, Toll-like receptor (TLR)-3, and TLR-4, promoting host antitumor immunity and inhibiting tumor growth. Unlike previous reports, this is the first study reporting that MSCs may exert opposite roles on tumor growth in the same animal model by modulating the host immune system, which may shed light on the potential application of MSCs as vehicles for tumor therapy and other clinical applications.

Significance
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely investigated for their potential roles in tissue engineering, autoimmune diseases, and tumor therapeutics. This study explored the impact of coinjection and distant injection of allogeneic bone marrow-derived MSCs on mouse 4T1 breast cancer cells. The results showed that the coinjection of MSCs and 4T1 cells promoted tumor growth. MSCs might act as the tumor stromal precursors and cause immunosuppression to protect tumor cells from immunosurveillance, which subsequently facilitated tumor metastasis. Interestingly, the distant injection of MSCs and 4T1 cells suppressed tumor growth. Together, the results of this study revealed the dual functions of MSCs in immunoregulation.
Structure and development of cortical bundles in Couroupita guianensis Aubl. (Lecythidaceae)
Authors: Rajput Kishore Shankarsinh , Patil Vidya Shivram 
Published: June 2016

El desarrollo de haces corticales, en ramas y pedúnculos de Couroupita guianensis (Lecythidaceae), comienza cerca del meristemo apical concomitante con los haces vasculares normales. Cada haz cortical llega a estar rodeado por una vaina de fibras que, a menudo, mostraba la presencia de una capa gelatinosa (fibras G). A medida que avanza el crecimiento, cada haz se puede dividir en dos o tres haces. Algunos de los haces son mayores y muestran elementos vasculares bien diferenciados debido a su asociación con frutos en desarrollo, mientras que los más pequeños, con pocos vasos, pueden ser trazas foliares o de yemas de flores que caen antes de la fecundación. El xilema secundario del haz cortical está compuesto de vasos, fibras y células del parénquima axial, mientras que el floema consiste en tubos cribosos, células de acompañamiento y células del parénquima axial.The development of cortical bundles, in the branches and peduncles of Couroupita guianensis (Lecythidaceae), initiates close to the apical meristem concomitant with the normal vascular bundles. Each cortical bundle becomes surrounded by a sheath of fibres, which most often showed presence of gelatinous layer (G-fibres). As growth progresses, theses bundle may divide into two-three bundles. Some of the bundles are larger and show well differen­tiated vascular elements due to their association with developing fruits while narrower bundles, with few vessels, may be leaf traces or flower bud traces that fell down before fertilization. The secondary xylem of cortical bundle is composed of vessels, fibres and a­xial parenchyma cells while phloem consists of sieve tubes, companion cells and axial parenchyma cells.

<p><span>In the face of likely climate change </span>impacts policy makers at different spatial scales need access to assessment tools that enable informed policy instruments to be designed. Recent scientific advances have facilitated the development of improved climate projections, but it remains to be seen whether these are translated into effective adaptation strategies. This paper uses existing databases on climate impacts on European agriculture and combines them with an assessment of adaptive capacity to develop an interdisciplinary approach for prioritising policies. It proposes a method for identifying relevant policies for different EU countries that are representative of various agroclimatic zones. Our analysis presents a framework for integrating current knowledge of future climate impacts with an understanding of the underlying socio-economic, agricultural and environmental traits that determine a region’s capacity for adapting to climate change.</p>
Un objet bien singulier !
Authors: Bonny Yves 
Published: June 2016

Cet article thématise la singularité en tant que nouvel objet théorique de la sociologie. Établissant une distinction claire entre la singularité et la particularité, il vise à montrer que la sociologie s’est historiquement intéressée de façon privilégiée à la généralité, du fait de ses orientations nomothétiques, et ce faisant à l’articulation entre le général et le particulier. La seule singularité mise en exergue dans cette perspective était celle de la trajectoire historique occidentale, mais celle-ci était elle-même appréhendée de façon globale. Considérer la singularité comme nouvel objet de la sociologie implique de mettre en évidence l’effet conjugué des développements internes de la discipline (critique de la réduction du singulier au particulier ou de la confusion entre singularité et homogénéité) et des transformations sociohistoriques. L’analyse est approfondie à travers trois entrées principales : la singularité de l’individu, la singularité des dynamiques actionnelles et interactionnelles et la singularité historique.
Propositions pour une sociologie pragmatique des frontières : multiples acteurs,
pratiques spatio-temporelles et jeux de juridictions
Authors: Moffette David 
Published: June 2016

Bien que les sociologues aient beaucoup travaillé sur des objets connexes, l’étude
des frontières demeure un champ de recherche dominé par les géographes et politistes. Ce
sont eux qui ont proposé qu’il faille considérer la frontière non pas comme un objet
physique spatialement situé, mais bien comme un ensemble de pratiques d’acteurs dispersés.
Nous soutenons qu’en adoptant une approche pragmatique des frontières qui mette l’accent sur
la multiplicité des acteurs impliqués, leurs pratiques socio-temporelles et leurs jeux de
juridictions, les sociologues peuvent pousser les limites de ce domaine de recherche. De
plus, en encourageant les sociologues à réfléchir aux dimensions spatiales, temporelles et
juridictionnelles des pratiques sociales, la « sociologie des frontières » proposée ici peut
faciliter un renouvellement de l’analyse sociologique et nous aider non seulement à ne pas
réifier le social, mais aussi à ne pas le distinguer a priori du spatial, du
temporel et du juridique.
De la sociologie de l’innovation à l’imagination sociologique. La théorie des champs à l’épreuve de la profession infirmière
Authors: Longchamp Philippe , Toffel Kevin , Bühlmann Felix , Tawfik Amal 
Published: June 2016

Si l’on suit la perspective de Saussure pour qui le point de vue crée l’objet, la « nouveauté » d’un objet sociologique suppose au moins autant le renouvellement de son approche que la « nouveauté intrinsèque » de celui-ci. Dans cet article, nous privilégions la voie d’un tel renouvellement en mettant à l’épreuve un « vieil objet » par une « approche ancienne ». Nous inscrivant à contre-courant d’une tendance à la parcellisation de la discipline en sociologies thématiques, nous montrons la valeur heuristique qu’il y a à saisir une profession comme un espace social de positions différenciées qui ne prend sens qu’une fois réinscrit dans le champ au sein duquel il s’insère. Largement féminisée et partiellement dominée, la profession infirmière est soumise à une théorie traditionnellement mobilisée pour l’étude de groupes masculins et dominants : la théorie des champs de Pierre Bourdieu.
Insiders, smart drugs et pharmaceuticalisation : éléments pour une typologie
de la nouvelle déviance conformiste
Authors: Otero Marcelo , Collin Johanne 
Published: June 2016

La multiplication des usagers et usagères des smart drugs sur les campus
universitaires, des go-pills dans l’armée ou encore des coast-to-coast
chez les camionneurs de longue distance invite à revisiter la légitimité croissante des
« usages adaptatifs » des psychostimulants par le biais d’une relecture des catégories
traditionnelles avec lesquelles fonctionnalistes et interactionnistes ont tenté de saisir
les modes légitimes d’adaptation et d’inadaptation sociale. Suffit-il de mobiliser des
catégories de la déviance « par excès » d’intégration telles que la surobéissance ou encore
par « hyper-responsabilité » ? Devrait-on naturaliser le recours de plus en plus fréquent à
des oxymorons mi-sociologiques mi-éthiques pour saisir des pratiques de plus en plus
répandues mais dont la légitimité pose problème tels que l’« innovation conformiste », ou
encore la pratique du « bon dopage » ? En nous appuyant sur la cas de figure des
consommateurs de smart drugs et mobilisant les concepts de pharmaceuticalisation et
de biosocialité, nous chercherons à dégager un certain nombre de traits sociologiques de la
figure idéal-typique de l’insider (à la fois « initié », consommateur avant-gardiste,
individu hypersocialisé, innovateur responsable, etc.) qui se veut en principe l’image
inversée du célèbre outsider d’Howard Becker.
Jeu et nouvelles perspectives de recherche en sciences sociales
Authors: Kapp Sébastien 
Published: June 2016

La sociologie des jeux est en général assez peu développée. Ses références majeures sont anciennes (J. Huizinga dans les années 1930 ; R. Caillois dans les années 1950) et des thématiques émergentes comme les games studies ne permettent pas de les renouveler en profondeur. Dans cette contribution, un jeu encore peu connu, le jeu de rôles grandeur nature (GN) est pris comme exemple afin de proposer un renouvellement des perspectives théoriques à trois niveaux : celui des études ludiques en sciences sociales ; celui de concepts sociologiques comme la construction sociale de la réalité et à la notion de cadre (P. Berger et Th. Luckmann ; G. Bateson et E. Goffman) ; celui d’un dialogue interdisciplinaire avec la narratologie, autour du couple jeu/fiction (J-M. Schaeffer).
Transient change in the shape of premixed burner flame with the superposition of pulsed dielectric barrier discharge
Authors: Zaima Kazunori , Sasaki Koichi 
Published: June 2016

Abstract
We investigated the transient phenomena in a premixed burner flame with the superposition of a pulsed dielectric barrier discharge (DBD). The length of the flame was shortened by the superposition of DBD, indicating the activation of combustion chemical reactions with the help of the plasma. In addition, we observed the modulation of the top position of the unburned gas region and the formations of local minimums in the axial distribution of the optical emission intensity of OH. These experimental results reveal the oscillation of the rates of combustion chemical reactions as a response to the activation by pulsed DBD. The cycle of the oscillation was 0.18–0.2 ms, which could be understood as the eigenfrequency of the plasma-assisted combustion reaction system.

Background. Glufosfamide (GLU) is a glucose conjugate of ifosfamide in which isophosphoramide mustard is glycosidically linked to theβ-D-glucose molecule. Based on GLU structure, it is considered a targeted chemotherapy with fewer side effects. The main objective of the current study is to assess the cytotoxic potential of GLU for the first time in prostate cancer (PC) cells representing different stages of the tumor. Furthermore, this study examined the potential synergistic activity of GLU in combination with docetaxel (DOC).Methods. Two different cell lines were used, LNCaP and PC-3. Concentration-response curves were assessed. The tested groups per cell line were, control, GLU, DOC and combination. Treatment duration was 72 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed using sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) was calculated. Synergy analyses were performed using Calcusyn®software. Subsequent mechanistic studies includedβ-glucosidase activity assay, glucose uptake and apoptosis studies, namely annexin V-FITC assay and the protein expression of mitochondrial pathway signals including Bcl-2, Bax, Caspase 9 and 3 were assessed. Data are presented as mean ± SD; comparisons were carried out using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey-Kramer’s test for post hoc analysis.Results. GLU induced cytotoxicity in both cell lines in a concentration-dependent manner. The IC50 in PC-3 cells was significantly lower by 19% when compared to that of LNCaP cells. The IC50 of combining both drugs showed comparable effect to DOC in PC-3 but was tremendously lowered by 49% compared to the same group in LNCaP cell line.β-glucosidase activity was higher in LNCaP by about 67% compared to that determined in PC-3 cells while the glucose uptake in PC-3 cells was almost 2 folds that found in LNCaP cells. These results were directly correlated to the efficacy of GLU in each cell line. Treatment of PC cells with GLU as single agent or in combination with DOC induced significantly higher apoptosis as evidenced by Annexin V-staining. Apoptosis was significantly increased in combination group by 4.9 folds and by 2.1 Folds when compared to control in LNCaP cells and PC-3 cells; respectively. Similarly, the expression of Bcl-2 was significantly decreased while Bax, caspase 9 and 3 were significantly increased in the combined treatment groups compared to the control.Conclusion. GLU has a synergistic effect in combination with DOC as it increases the cell kill which can be attributed at least partially to apoptosis in both the tested cell lines and it is suggested as a new combination regimen to be considered in the treatment of the prostate cancer. Further experiments and clinical investigations are needed for assessment of that regimen.
