Turning Everyday to Aksum Ṣeyon Unaware: King Zar’a Yā‘eqob’s Kehedata Sayṭān identified in the first prayer of the day
Authors: Fritsch Emmanuel

Se tourner quotidiennement mais involontairement vers Aksum Ṣeyon : le Kehedata Sayṭān du roi Zar’a Yā‘ eqob identifié dans la première prière du jour
Les quelques lignes qui commencent la journée dévotionnelle comme liturgique des chrétiens orthodoxes d’Éthiopie et d’Érythrée offrent des surprises. Si on les lit correctement, on s’aperçoit que l’on renouvelle les voeux du baptême en prenant à témoin la «cathédrale » d’Aksoum Marie de Sion, une appellation dont on s’aperçoit en chemin qu’elle a déjà été utilisée par le roi Lālibālā et peut-être même par l’un de ses prédécesseurs. De plus il ne fait pas de doute que ce texte si fréquent n’est autre que l’ «Abjuration de Satan » attribuée au roi Zar’a Yā‘ eqob. Cette oeuvre est désormais identifiée. Le texte, préservé intact en guèze, a néanmoins reçu une version amharique qui le recycle, pour ainsi dire, pour l’usage contemporain en remplaçant les références aksoumites d’origine par une invocation mariale.

Short archaeological survey in the area of Meqele and the eastern edge of the highlands in Tigray region
Since the 1970s, the so-called “ pre-Aksumite” civilisation and Aksum have been much under discussion since the development of culture in the Ethiopian highlands appears to be, even now, the subject of much debate. What role did Aksum play, when did it emerge to prominence, and what were its relations with other societies and cultures ? And above all, is there any connection between “ pre-Aksumite” and Aksumite civilisations ? One of the aims of a short visit in Tigray region was a general survey of “ Pre-Aksumite” and Aksumite sites (Adwa and vicinity, as well as Hawazen, and on the eastern side, the region of Atsbi-Dera ʾ and of Medri Senafe), in order to assess the importance of the archaeological evidence. This preliminary survey concentrated on documenting several remains in these regions, some of them first surveyed by Hiluf Berhe (Aksum) and the Tourism and Culture Commission of Tigray Regional State (TCCTRS, Mekele).
ASTROIMAGEJ: IMAGE PROCESSING AND PHOTOMETRIC EXTRACTION FOR ULTRA-PRECISE ASTRONOMICAL LIGHT CURVES
Authors: Collins Karen A. , Kielkopf John F. , Stassun Keivan G. , Hessman Frederic V. 
Published: January 2017

ABSTRACT
ImageJ is a graphical user interface (GUI) driven, public domain, Java-based, software package for general image processing traditionally used mainly in life sciences fields. The image processing capabilities of ImageJ are useful and extendable to other scientific fields. Here we present AstroImageJ (AIJ), which provides an astronomy specific image display environment and tools for astronomy specific image calibration and data reduction. Although AIJ maintains the general purpose image processing capabilities of ImageJ, AIJ is streamlined for time-series differential photometry, light curve detrending and fitting, and light curve plotting, especially for applications requiring ultra-precise light curves (e.g., exoplanet transits). AIJ reads and writes standard Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) files, as well as other common image formats, provides FITS header viewing and editing, and is World Coordinate System aware, including an automated interface to the astrometry.net web portal for plate solving images. AIJ provides research grade image calibration and analysis tools with a GUI driven approach, and easily installed cross-platform compatibility. It enables new users, even at the level of undergraduate student, high school student, or amateur astronomer, to quickly start processing, modeling, and plotting astronomical image data with one tightly integrated software package.
ANALYZING METEOROID FLIGHTS USING PARTICLE FILTERS
Authors: Sansom E. K. , Rutten M. G. , Bland P. A. 
Published: January 2017

ABSTRACT
Fireball observations from camera networks provide position and time information along the trajectory of a meteoroid that is transiting our atmosphere. The complete dynamical state of the meteoroid at each measured time can be estimated using Bayesian filtering techniques. A particle filter is a novel approach to modeling the uncertainty in meteoroid trajectories and incorporates errors in initial parameters, the dynamical model used, and observed position measurements. Unlike other stochastic approaches, a particle filter does not require predefined values for initial conditions or unobservable trajectory parameters. The Bunburra Rockhole fireball, observed by the Australian Desert Fireball Network (DFN) in 2007, is used to determine the effectiveness of a particle filter for use in fireball trajectory modeling. The final mass is determined to be

with a final velocity of

, similar to previously calculated values. The full automatability of this approach will allow an unbiased evaluation of all events observed by the DFN and lead to a better understanding of the dynamical state and size frequency distribution of asteroid and cometary debris in the inner solar system.

Abstract
The Chelyabinsk meteorite is a highly shocked, low porosity, ordinary chondrite, probably similar to S- or Q-type asteroids. Therefore, nanoindentation experiments on this meteorite allow us to obtain key data to understand the physical properties of near-Earth asteroids. Tests at different length scales provide information about the local mechanical properties of the minerals forming this meteorite: reduced Young’s modulus, hardness, elastic recovery, and fracture toughness. Those tests are also useful to understand the potential to deflect threatening asteroids using a kinetic projectile. We found that the differences in mechanical properties between regions of the meteorite, which increase or reduce the efficiency of impacts, are not a result of compositional differences. A low mean particle size, attributed to repetitive shock, can increase hardness, while low porosity promotes a higher momentum multiplication. Momentum multiplication is the ratio between the change in momentum of a target due to an impact, and the momentum of the projectile, and therefore, higher values imply more efficient impacts. In the Chelyabinsk meteorite, the properties of the light-colored lithology materials facilitate obtaining higher momentum multiplication values, compared to the other regions described for this meteorite. Also, we found a low value of fracture toughness in the shock-melt veins of Chelyabinsk, which would promote the ejection of material after an impact and therefore increase the momentum multiplication. These results are relevant to the growing interest in missions to test asteroid deflection, such as the recent collaboration between the European Space Agency and NASA, known as the Asteroid Impact and Deflection Assessment mission.

Published: January 2017

Background Human papillomaviruses (HPV), the causative agents of anogenital warts, are the most prevalent sexually transmitted infectious agents, and wart treatment poses a persistent challenge. We assessed the safety and efficacy of treating HPV with ranpirnase, an endoribonuclease from the northern leopard frog that has been used extensively in Phase III oncology trials. Methods As initial verification of ranpirnase antiviral activity, we assessed its ability to eliminate papilloma-viruses in cultured cells. To further assess its feasibility for treating anogenital warts in humans, we performed a Phase I study. Forty-two male volunteers with genital/ perianal warts were treated topically with three different formulations of 1 mg/ml ranpirnase. Patients were monitored for 8 weeks or until healing. Four patients with HIV were treated in accordance with the compassionate programme but were not evaluated. Results In cultured cells, ranpirnase showed specific activity against HPV-11 with low toxicity (selectivity index >88). The broad applicability of ranpirnase for treating papillomaviruses was verified using the cottontail rabbit papillomavirus. In the clinical study, eight participants were lost-to-follow-up or discontinued due to protocol violation or non-compliance. Among 30 evaluable participants, topical ranpirnase was moderately well-tolerated, with discontinuation by 5 (16.7%) due to adverse reactions. Clinical healing was achieved by 25 participants (83.3%) and 50% improvement by the 5 discontinued participants (16.7%). The median time to clinical healing was 30 days. Conclusions This study provides the first in vitro and clinical evidence of the antiviral efficacy of ranpirnase against HPV and supports assessment of ranpirnase in expanded clinical studies.

Selon sa célèbre formule, Bonaparte affirmait vouloir que les Français « datent leur bonheur de la création des préfets ». Si la formulation peut apparaître présomptueuse, la loi du 28 pluviôse an VIII institua bien un maillon essentiel de l’organisation administrative sur lequel l’Etat s’appuie depuis lors pour mettre en œuvre sa gestion du territoire national.
Le marketing territorial des Petits et Moyens Territoires : identité, image et relations
Authors: Alaux Christophe , Serval Sarah , Zeller Christelle 
Published: January 2017

Alors que les territoires de grande taille recourent au marketing territorial et aux marques territoriales (« Only Lyon », marque Alsace) pour assurer leur attractivité avec une gestion de leur image, les « Petits et Moyens Territoires » (PMT) voient aussi dans le marketing territorial un moyen d’atteindre certains de leurs objectifs spécifiques. Néanmoins, cette démarche s’avère compliquée pour des PMT en manque d’image et de notoriété. Il paraît ainsi opportun de construire un cadre conceptuel qui leur soit adapté. Dans cette perspective, cet article explore les liens entre identité, relations et image territoriale sous l’angle du marketing relationnel. A travers l’étude exploratoire réalisée sur une ville de 20 000 habitants, nous avançons la proposition que l’identité territoriale est un antécédent de l’image territoriale. Nous proposons également que l’intensité des relations entre les parties prenantes du territoire exerce un effet positif sur les identités territoriales.
La modernisation des stades de football en France. Proposition d’une analyse des logiques d’acteurs à l’œuvre au sein d’un processus de traduction
Authors: Millereux Vincent , Cicut Nicolas , Montchaud Sandra 
Published: January 2017

Cette recherche propose une analyse originale des neufs projets de rénovation majeure et de construction de stades dans le cadre de l’organisation de l’Euro 2016 dans la perspective de la théorie de l’acteur-réseau. L’objectif est d’étudier les conditions de rassemblement des principaux acteurs – les collectivités locales et groupements associés, les clubs résidents, les sociétés exploitantes tierces (le cas échéant) et le stade – au sein de ces projets. Pour ce faire, nous avons choisi de retenir la démarche analytique proposée par Callon (1986) qui consiste à identifier le « primum movens », puis à envisager le processus de traduction à l’œuvre à travers ses dimensions clés de problématisation, d’intéressement, d’enrôlement et de mobilisation. Il ressort que les projets étudiés émanent de la volonté stratégique d’un acteur – généralement une collectivité locale ou un groupement associé et dans un cas un club – et impliquent la participation d’autres acteurs dont le rassemblement dans un réseau relève bien d’une logique de traduction. Six trajectoires de modernisation des stades sont mises en évidence.
Women Make a Fraction of Every Euro Earned by Men...

Published: January 2017

Ce texte relate un effort d’estimation de la discrimination salariale selon le genre au moyen de données de firmes privées situées en Belgique, et couvrant la période 2002-2010. Par rapport aux données individuelles sur les salaires, les données de firme présentent l’avantage de contenir une mesure indépendante et directe de la productivité. En utilisant le cadre analytique d’Hellerstein-Neumark, ces données permettent des estimations distinctes des écarts salariaux et de productivité selon le genre, et aussi – chose cruciale s’agissant de discrimination salariale – du degré de (non-)alignement de ces écarts. Les résultats sont essentiellement de deux ordres. Un, la discrimination salariale selon le genre estimée au moyen des données de firmes est faible comparativement à celle traditionnellement obtenue au moyen de données salariales individuelles. Deux, pour le secteur privé belge, au cours des années 2000, elle n’est statistiquement significative que dans le cas des femmes travaillant sous contrat ouvrier.
Is Workforce Diversity Always Performance-enhancing?
Authors: Garnero Andrea , Kampelmann Stephan , Rycx François 
Published: January 2017

Cet article passe en revue la littérature, principalement économique, concernant les effets de la diversité de la main-d’œuvre au sein des entreprises sur la productivité, les salaires et les profits. La diversité est définie en termes d’âge, d’éducation et de genre. Malgré la variété des approches empiriques, la plupart des études suggèrent que l’impact de la diversité d’âge et de genre est négatif pour la productivité, alors que la diversité en termes d’éducation ou de compétences a un impact positif. Les travaux récents pour la Belgique et la France suggèrent en outre que les entreprises dans les secteurs hautement technologiques sont plus susceptibles de bénéficier de la diversité en termes de genre. Les effets semblent également dépendre de la forme de propriété de l’entreprise, les entreprises familiales étant plus enclines à bénéficier de la diversité de genre. Codes JEL : D24, J24, J31, M12
Association between depression in carers and malnutrition in children aged 6 months to 5 years
Authors: Motlhatlhedi Keneilwe , Setlhare Vincent , Ganiyu Adewale , Firth Jacqueline 
Published: January 2017

Background: Childhood malnutrition is an important risk factor for child mortality and underlies close to 50% of child deaths worldwide. Previous studies have found an association between maternal depression and child malnutrition, but it is not known whether this association exists in Botswana. In addition, previous studies excluded non-maternal primary caregivers (PCGs). It is unclear whether the association between primary caregiver depression and child malnutrition remains when non-maternal PCGs are included.Aim: The aim of this study was to determine if there is an association between PCG depression and malnutrition in children aged between 6 months and 5 years in Mahalapye, Botswana.Setting: The study was conducted in the child welfare clinics of Xhosa and Airstrip clinics, two primary health care facilities in Mahalapye, Botswana.Methods: This was a case control study. Cases were malnourished children aged between 6 months and 5 years, and controls were non-malnourished children matched for age and gender. The outcome of interest was depression in the PCGs of the cases and controls, which was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ 9), a depression screening tool.Results: From a sample of 171 children, 84 of whom were malnourished, we found that the malnourished children were significantly more likely to have depressed PCGs (odds ratio = 4.33; 95% CI: 1.89, 9.89) than non-malnourished children in the 6-month to 5-year age group; the PCGs of malnourished children also had lower educational status.Conclusion: This study found a significant association between PCG depression and child malnutrition.

Authors: Seifert Posy J , Morgan Renee C , Conover David L , Arieno Andrea L 
Published: January 2017

Objective:
To evaluate our initial experience with a cone-beam breast computed tomography (BCT)-guided breast biopsy system for lesion retrieval in phantom studies for use with a cone-beam BCT imaging system.

Materials and Methods:
Under the Institutional Review Board approval, a phantom biopsy study was performed using a dedicated BCT-guided biopsy system. Fifteen biopsies were performed on each of the small, medium, and large anthropomorphic breast phantoms with both BCT and stereotactic guidance for comparison. Each set of the 45 phantoms contained masses and calcification clusters of varying sizes. Data included mass/calcium retrieval rate and dose and length of procedure time for phantom studies.

Results:
Phantom mass and calcium retrieval rate were 100% for BCT and stereotactic biopsy. BCT dose for small and medium breast phantoms was found to be equivalent to or less than the corresponding stereotactic approach. Stereotactic-guided biopsy dose was 34.2 and 62.5 mGy for small and medium breast phantoms, respectively. BCT-guided biopsy dose was 15.4 and 30.0 mGy for small and medium breast phantoms, respectively. Both computed tomography biopsy and stereotactic biopsy study time ranged from 10 to 20 min.

Conclusion:
Initial experience with a BCT-guided biopsy system has shown to be comparable to stereotactic biopsy in phantom studies with equivalent or decreased dose.
The prevalence of obesity documentation in Primary Care Electronic Medical Records
Authors: Mattar Ahmed , Carlston David , Sariol Glen , Yu Tongle , Almustafa Ahmad , Melton Genevieve , Ahmed Adil 
Published: January 2017

Summary
Background: Although obesity is a growing problem, primary care physicians often inadequately address it. The objective of this study is to examine the prevalence of obesity documentation in the patient’s problem list for patients with eligible body mass indexes (BMI) as contained in the patients’ electronic medical record (EMR). Additionally, we examined the prevalence of selected chronic conditions across BMI levels.
Method: This study is a retrospective study using EMR data for adult patients visiting an outpatient clinic between June 2012 and June 2015. International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, (ICD-9) codes were used to identify obesity documentation in the EMR problem list. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used.
Results: Out of 10,540, a total of 3,868 patients were included in the study. 2,003 (52%) patients met the criteria for obesity (BMI30.0); however, only 112 (5.6%) patient records included obesity in the problem list. Moreover, in a multivariate analysis, in addition to age and gender, morbid obesity and cumulative number of comorbidities were significantly associated with obesity documentation, OR=1.6 and OR=1.3, respectively, with 95% CI [1.4, 1.9] and [1.0, 1.7], respectively. For those with obesity documentation, exercise counseling was provided more often than diet counselling.
Conclusion: Based on EHR documentation, obesity is under coded and generally not identified as a significant problem in primary care. Physicians are more likely to document obesity in the patient record for those with higher BMI scores who are morbidly obese. Moreover, physicians more frequently provide exercise than diet counseling for the documented obese.

Published: January 2017

Summary
Background: Real-time clinical decision support (CDS) integrated with anesthesia information management systems (AIMS) can generate point of care reminders to improve quality of care. Objective: To develop, implement and evaluate a real-time clinical decision support system for anesthetic management of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients undergoing urgent neurosurgery.
Methods: We iteratively developed a CDS system for pediatric TBI patients undergoing urgent neurosurgery. The system automatically detects eligible cases and evidence-based key performance indicators (KPIs). Unwanted clinical events trigger and display real-time messages on the AIMS computer screen. Main outcomes were feasibility of detecting eligible cases and KPIs, and user acceptance.
Results: The CDS system was triggered in 22 out of 28 (79%) patients. The sensitivity of detecting continuously sampled KPIs reached 93.8%. For intermittently sampled KPIs, sensitivity and specificity reached 90.9% and 100%, respectively. 88% of providers reported that CDS helped with TBI anesthesia care.
Conclusions: CDS implementation is feasible and acceptable with a high rate of case capture and appropriate generation of alert and guidance messages for TBI anesthesia care.
The influence of snow sublimation and meltwater evaporation on δD of water vapor in the atmospheric boundary layer of central Europe
Authors: Christner Emanuel , Kohler Martin , Schneider Matthias 
Published: January 2017

Abstract. Post-depositional fractionation of stable water isotopes due to fractionating surface evaporation introduces uncertainty to various isotope applications such as the reconstruction of paleotemperatures, paleoaltimetry, and the investigation of groundwater formation. In this study, we investigate isotope fractionation at snow-covered moisture sources by combining 17 months of observations of isotope concentration ratios [HD16O] ∕ [H216O] in low-level water vapor in central Europe with a new Lagrangian isotope model. The isotope model is capable of reproducing variations of the observed isotope ratios with a correlation coefficient R of 0.82. Observations from 38 days were associated with cold snaps and moisture uptake in snow-covered regions. Deviations between modeled and measured isotope ratios during the cold snaps were related to differences in skin temperatures (Tskin). Analysis of Tskin provided by the Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) of the NCEP implies the existence of two regimes of Tskin with different types of isotope fractionation during evaporation: a cold regime with Tskin < Tsubl,max = −7.7 °C, which is dominated by non-fractionating sublimation of snow, and a warmer regime with Tsubl,max < Tskin < 0 °C, which is dominated by fractionating evaporation of meltwater. Based on a sensitivity study, we assess an uncertainty range of the determined Tsubl,max of −11.9 to −2.9 °C. The existence of the two fractionation regimes has important implications for the interpretation of isotope records from snow-covered regions as well as for a more realistic modeling of isotope fractionation at snow-covered moisture sources. For these reasons, more detailed experimental studies at snow-covered sites are needed to better constrain the Tsubl,max and to further investigate isotope fractionation in the two regimes.
