Abstract
Many Chiropteran species are gregarious, yet much remains to be learned about details of the sociality of most species. This is especially true for the endangered Eumops floridanus (Florida bonneted bat). Scant knowledge of the species’ natural history and ecological interactions has precluded the development of effective conservation strategies. We investigated several aspects of the social organization of E. floridanus roosting in bat houses in southwest Florida: group size, group composition, group stability, and seasonality of reproduction. Our findings suggest the species has characteristics more common to tropical bat species than temperate ones. The average roost size was 10 individuals, with colonies in a harem social structure all three times in the year they were assessed. Adults were much more likely than sub-adults to be recaptured at the same roosts during subsequent capture sessions. We suggest that the availability and distribution of roosts may alter the social structure of these bats and ultimately limit local populations. We did not find evidence of a distinct seasonal birthing period matching that of other temperate bat species. Results suggests the species is aseasonally polyestrous, making non-volant E. floridanus vulnerable to disturbance across a larger portion of the year than other bat species in the US.

Effect of deposition time on surface plasmon resonance and Maxwell-Garnett absorption in RF-magnetron sputtered carbon-nickel films
Authors: Dalouji Vali 
Published: July 2016

Abstract
In this work, carbon-nickel films were grown during four deposition times (50 s, 90 s, 180 s and 600 s) at room temperature on glass substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering. The optical absorption spectra of the films were investigated with a special emphasis on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ni nanoparticles. The optical absorption peaks caused by the surface plasmon resonance of Ni nanoparticles were observed in the wavelength range of 300 nm to 330 nm. It has been shown that the surface plasmon resonance peaks exhibit a red shift and a blue shift depending on the deposition time. The red and blue shifts of the surface plasmon resonance in the absorption spectra of the films were observed with the increase and decrease of Ni nanoparticle size, respectively. The Ni nanoparticle size, dielectric function of carbon matrix εm and plasma frequency of free electrons ωp for the films deposited at deposition time of 180 s have maximum values of 80 nm, 0.401 and 7.25 × 1015 s–1, respectively. These observations are in a good agreement with the electrical resistivity measurements and Maxwell-Garnett (M-G) effective medium theory (EMT).

Published: July 2016

BACKGROUND:Use of laxatives for weight loss and drugs or supplements to build muscle (eg, steroids) differs by gender and sexual orientation; little is known about factors contributing to these disparities. Conformity to gender norms concerning appearance could underlie these differences.METHODS:This study examined associations between childhood gender conformity and laxative and muscle-building product use from ages 13 to 25 years in a sample of 13 683 males and females in the US prospective Growing Up Today Study. Adjusted multivariable logistic regression models of repeated measures estimated odds of past-year laxative and muscle-building product use by quartiles of greater childhood gender conformity in heterosexual and sexual minority (eg, bisexual, gay) participants.RESULTS:By age 23 years, ∼20% of sexual minority females reported past-year laxative use. By age 19 years, 12% of all males reported past-year muscle-building product use. Sexual minority females had twice the odds of heterosexual females of using laxatives (P &lt; .0001). The most gender-conforming females had 50% greater odds than the least-conforming females of using laxatives (P &lt; .01). Moderate (odds ratio, 2.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.58–2.75) and highly (odds ratio, 1.79; 95% confidence interval, 1.38–2.33) gender-conforming males had higher odds than gender-nonconforming males of using muscle-building products.CONCLUSIONS:Sexual minority females are at high risk for laxative abuse. Regardless of sexual orientation, gender conformity increased the odds of laxative abuse among females and muscle-building product use among males. Findings can inform prevention efforts to target youth at risk for laxative or muscle-building product use.

Aim:Intraoperative allogeneic blood product transfusion (ABPT) in cardiac surgery is associated with worse overall outcome, including mortality. The objective of this study was to evaluate the ABPTs in minimalized extracorporeal cardiopulmonary (MECCTM) compared with standard open system on-pump coronary revascularization.Methods:Data of 156 patients undergoing myocardial revascularization between September 2008 and September 2010 were reviewed. 83 patients were operated by the MECC technique and 73 were treated by standard extracorporeal circulation (sECC). ABPT and overall early postoperative complications were analyzed.Results:Operative mortality and morbidity were similar in both groups. ABPT in the MECC group was significantly lower than in the sECC group both intraoperatively (7.2vs.60.3% of patients p<0.001) and during the first five postoperative days (19.3vs.57.5%; p<0.001). “Skin to skin”- (214 ± 45vs.232 ± 45 min; p=0.012), cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) - (82 ± 25vs.95 ± 26 min; p=0.014), and X-clamp- times (50 ± 16vs.56 ± 17 min; p=0.024) were significantly lower in the MECC group than in the sECC group. Length of ICU (intensive care unit) - and hospital stay were also significantly lower in the MECC groupvs.the sECC group (26.7 ± 20.2vs.54.5 ± 68.9 h; p<0.001, and 12.0 ± 4.1vs.14.5 ± 4.6 days; p<0.001).Conclusion:Application of MECC as on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) results in significantly lower ABPT as well as shorter ICU and in-hospital stay. In order to achieve these benefits of MECC autologous retrograde priming, Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring, intraoperative cell salvage, meticulous hemostasis and strict peri- and postoperative volume management are crucial.
Shareholder Votes on Auditor Ratification and Subsequent Auditor Dismissals
Authors: Barua Abhijit , Raghunandan K , Rama Dasaratha V. 
Published: July 2016

SYNPOSIS
The Advisory Committee on the Auditing Profession (ACAP [DoT 2008]), appointed by the U.S. Department of Treasury, recommended that regulators require public companies to have shareholder voting on auditor ratification. However, the SEC has sided with companies that sought to exclude proposals from shareholders seeking greater say in the auditor selection process. We use data from 12,664 shareholder votes on auditor ratification during 2011–2014 and find that subsequent auditor dismissals become more likely with increases in the proportion of shareholders not ratifying the auditor. The findings should be of interest to corporate governance activists and regulators, and reinforce suggestions that even small changes in shareholder votes can be associated with significant corporate changes.

Published: July 2016

L'article expose les premiers résultats d'une recherche-action qui entend mêler éducation à l'égalité des sexes et travail sur la littérature de jeunesse à l'école primaire (maternelle et élémentaire). Parmi les objectifs de cette recherche figure celui de repérer quelques gestes professionnels permettant de transmettre en classe une culture de l'égalité entre les sexes, tout en développant chez les élèves le gout de la lecture active et critique (second objectif). Les auteurs centrent leur étude sur la manière dont les enseignant-e-s peuvent travailler ces deux dimensions à travers quelques exemples précis, extraits des transcriptions des débats réalisés en classe suite à la lecture d'albums ou tirés des carnets de littératures mis en place par les enseignant-e-s dans le cadre de la recherche. Elle aborde ainsi, plus spécifiquement, les points suivants : quels critères pour choisir des livres de fiction afin de susciter la réflexion des élèves ?, quelles consignes leur donner ?, quelles modalités d'intervention ou d'étayage dans les débats ?
À la limite : malaise dans l’éthique
Authors: Pirone Ilaria 
Published: July 2016

Résumé	À partir d’un sentiment de malaise dans le monde éducatif, l’article propose une relecture de l’essai de Freud Malaise dans la civilisation en mettant au centre la question de l’éthique articulée aux notions de limite et d’impossible. La fonction topologique de la limite permet de redessiner ce qui fait bord dans l’existence, ce qui tient la civilisation en deçà des marges du réel. Face à des formes de moralisation des discours sur l’éthique, la lecture de cet essai, comme travail sur la limite, permet de penser le malaise constitutif de toute recherche d’une position éthique.
Du siècle des chefs à celui d’une reconquête de l’espace démocratique ? Entretien avec Yves Cohen
Authors: Cohen Yves 
Published: July 2016

Résumé	Yves Cohen est historien et directeur d’études à l’EHESS. Ses travaux problématisent le XX e siècle comme une histoire des pratiques et des rationalités qui prétendent les guider. Il est notamment l’auteur du Siècle des chefs. Une histoire transnationale du commandement et de l’autorité (1890-1940) , publié aux éditions Amsterdam en 2013. Dans cet entretien, il revient sur la genèse de son projet d’une histoire transnationale – France, Allemagne, États-Unis, Russie – du souci pour le commandement, qui traverse aussi bien l’industrie, les organisations politiques, les sciences de l’éducation et plus généralement les sciences sociales, qui elles-mêmes participent activement de sa définition et de sa diffusion. Il explicite son recours à la notion de « préoccupation », qui lui permet de s’intéresser à la manière dont les acteurs problématisent ce souci dans leurs pratiques. La notion foucaldienne de gouvernementalité lui paraît offrir une alternative à une psychologie sociale dans le sillage de Le Bon. Il évoque également les mouvements sociaux qui, récemment et dans le monde entier, tout en donnant une illustration de ce que peuvent être des « foules » sans maître, n’en sont pas moins des foules raisonnables qui pensent et agissent selon d’autres critères que ceux des institutions de la politique représentative. Ses travaux se penchent également sur les diverses formes de ces mobilisations contemporaines, de l’Ukraine au Brésil.

ABSTRACT

Aim
Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) represents a highly rare subgroup of skin diseases that affects skin and mucous membrane. The aim of the present study was to assess caries prevalence and its associated factors in EB subjects. Salivary status was also assessed.

Materials and methods
Ten subjects with EB who were under supervision were selected (cases) and matched by age and gender with unaffected individuals (controls). Dental caries were recorded using the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria. Oral hygiene and dietary habits were investigated by clinical examination and questionnaires. Both nonstimulated and stimulated saliva were collected and salivary pH, buffering capacity and mouth opening were evaluated.

Results
The results showed that the median decay-missingfilled teeth was significantly higher (p = 0.0094) in EB cases 5 (3.9–20.3) than in controls 3 (2–3.25). The groups also differed when food consistency was analyzed. Individuals with EB have a higher intake of soft food. In addition, the median mouth-opening values from cases (0.84–2.84 cm) and controls (4.3–4.9 cm) have shown to be statistically different (p = 0.007). Considering the salivary parameters, none of them showed significant differences among groups.

Conclusion
Epidermolysis bullosa subjects present higher caries scores and might be related to their physical condition and dietary habits.

Clinical significance
There is a lack of information about oral status in EB subjects. Hence, our findings add useful information regarding the relationship between caries prevalence and associated risk factors in EB subjects.

Effects of Different Temperatures and Storage Time on the Degree of Conversion and Microhardness of Resin-based Composites
Authors: AlShaafi Maan M 
Published: July 2016

ABSTRACT

Objective
Dental materials are often made at room temperature, whereas clinically they are made in the mouth. This study evaluated the effects of temperature on the degree of conversion (DC) and Knoop microhardness (KHN).

Materials and methods
Two types of resin-based composites (RBCs) were light-cured using a light-emitting diode (LED) lightcuring unit. The resin specimens were centered on an Attenuated Total Reflectance Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) plate heated to 23°C or 33°C. The DC of the resin was calculated after 120 seconds, the specimens were removed, and the KHN was tested at the bottom of the specimens both immediately, after 24 hours, and after 7 days storage in distilled water in complete darkness at 37°C. The effects of different temperatures on the DC and KHN with their storage time were compared by analysis of variance and Fisher's protected least significant difference post hoc multiple comparison tests (p < 0.05).

Results
Increasing the temperature had a significant and positive effect on the DC and KHN for immediate values of the RBCs. Greater conversion and hardness occurred when the curing temperature was increased from 23°C to 33°C. The KHN increased significantly after 24 hours of storage. There was a linear relationship between DC and KHN (R2 = 0.86) within the range of DC and KHN studied.

Conclusion
The physical properties of dental materials can be expected to be better when made in the mouth than when they are made in a laboratory at room temperature.

Published: July 2016

ABSTRACTWe examined scapula glenoids (n = 14) and proximal articular humeri (n = 14) of seven gray wolves that were maintained in a sanctuary park setting. Immediately after death, observations were made visuallyin situand by radiography. Further observations were made in a museum laboratory setting, prior to and following clearing of soft tissues. Selected dry bone specimens were evaluated using computed tomography. Significant cartilage erosion and osteoarthropathy were identified in all shoulder joints. No single evaluation method yielded maximal information. Plain film radiography revealed only more severe changes. Computed tomography yielded more detail and clarity than standard radiography. Direct examination of articular cartilage informed about joint soft tissue, and dry bone informed about externally visible bone pathology. These data provide a basis for biological, biomedical, ecological, and archaeological scientists to improve retrospective interpretations of bone lesions. They further support developing plausible differential diagnoses for features of ancient and modern animal bones. We noted a dog‐like capacity for wolf longevity in a non‐free‐roaming environment. However, aged wolves' life spans far exceeded those of similar‐sized domestic dogs and breeds, suggesting the possibility of an important species difference that should be explored. We suggest also a hypothesis that the driving force for joint pathology in sheltered non‐domestic species may relate significantly to achieving the longevity that is possible biologically, but is uncommon in the wild because of differential stochastic influences.

Published: July 2016

Poly(2‐hydroxypropylene imine)s containing segments of cystamine (PHPI‐CA) are synthesized by polycondensation of 1,3‐dibromo‐2‐propanol with a mixture of 1,3‐diamino‐2‐propanol and cystamine. High molecular weight fractions of these polymers are collected by ultrafiltration and characterized by chemical analysis, 1H and 13C‐NMR spectroscopy, size‐exclusion chromatography with triple detection, and potentiometric titration, and are tested for DNA delivery in vitro. It is shown that PHPI‐CA are highly branched polymers containing disulfide linkages. Transfection efficiency of PHPI‐CA for DNA gives similar results to that of PHPI with GFP+ cell percent reaching 80–90%. Cytotoxicity levels for PHPI‐CA are lower than that of PHPI. Novel polymers containing different amounts of disulfide linkages are able to disintegrate and release DNA following the treatment with reducing agent 1,4‐dithiothreitol. Downstream application of PHPI‐CA transfected cells for RNA purification shows that RNA yield is not affected even after the double transfection suggesting that these polymers could be great candidates for in vitro and in vivo transfection.
