Published: January 2018

Abstract
Improvement of existing composite material to obtain new composite materials is the real challenge for most of the materials engineers. So, there are huge research endeavors emerging in the field of composites to grow new materials with upgraded mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Among these, fiber reinforced polymer composites are the most charming as a result of their sufficient utilization in different applications which incorporates numerous mechanical, automotive and structural components. The present study investigates the mechanical characteristics of a Kevlar/glass fiber reinforced with Cloisite 30B nanoclay. Kevlar fibers have been widely used as impact-resistant reinforcement in composite materials. However, there are very few works about the effects of nanoclays on the impact strength of Kevlar/glass laminates. Nanoclay Cloisite 30B (2 wt.-%) was dispersed in the epoxy system. Such laminates manufactured with epoxy resin filled by 2 wt.-% of nanoclay showed the best performance in terms of elastic recuperation and penetration threshold. The opposite tendency was observed for the displacement at peak load. However, marginal benefits can be found when compared with the results obtained for laminates filled by 2 wt.% nanoclay. Kevlar/glass fibers were reinforced with different particulate fractions of chosen nanoclay and the specimens were investigated regarding mechanical properties such as tensile, impact and flexural strength.
'Few Commodities are More Hazardous': Australian Live Animal Export, 1788-1880
Authors: Cushing Nancy 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Live animal export has a long history but it is rarely considered in the vigorous contemporary debates surrounding the practice. This article explores the origins, extent and nature of the trade in livestock, primarily sheep and cattle, conducted out of Britain's first Australian colony, New South Wales, between 1788 and 1880. Drawing upon contemporary accounts and official statistics related to the trade, it contributes to the literature on human-animal relations by exploring the experience of animals during live export and the effect of the trade on attitudes to meat consumption. By subjecting animals to long sea voyages for the purposes of breeding or consumption, live export in the colonial period laid the groundwork for the commodification of animals used for food and the industrialisation of meat production in the twentieth century.
Climate, Conflict and Society: Changing Responses to Weather Extremes in Nineteenth Century Zululand

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Changing climates affect human societies differently depending on societal structures, cultural perceptions and their relative vulnerability and resilience. In this study, we explore the complex relationship between climate, conflict and society in nineteenth century Zululand. The paper first reviews current debates surrounding the links between climatic change, societal transformation and the rise of the Zulu Kingdom from the late-eighteenth to early-nineteenth centuries. It then considers new empirical evidence relating to conflict and socio-economic changes at a local scale in Zululand from the early-mid-nineteenth century onwards, using a combination of unpublished archival materials written by missionaries and other observers, together with oral histories and traditions. Our analysis highlights how changing precipitation patterns, especially towards drier conditions, may have contributed to changes in societal responses, including dominant narratives about rain-control, the migration and dissolution of society, and conflicts and unrest. We suggest that temporal differences in these responses were contingent upon the role of leaders, power structures, and the willingness and ability of leaders to yield this power. The case of nineteenth century Zululand exemplifies the complexity of environment-society interactions, and strengthens the call for a thorough scrutiny of the narratives of social unrest in specific socio-cultural contexts.
Science, Markets and Power: Adolf Severin Jensen in the Debate over Greenland's Fisheries Development during the Early Twentieth Century
Authors: Priebe Janina 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
As a fisheries consultant to the colonial administration, Adolf Severin Jensen (1866-1953) followed, and was an active commentator on, all stages of the commercialisation of Greenland's fishing industry - from its early assessment shortly after 1900 to the sector's peak in the 1930s, and the first signs of a changing trend in the 1940s. This paper puts Jensen's perceptions of Greenlandic fisheries in dialogue with the ideas of scientific rationalisation, economic efficiency and colonial power. The accounts of the fisheries scientist offer a glimpse into the complicated interplay of applied science in natural resource exploitation and state interests at the turn of the twentieth century. His research agenda was coined by the goals of fisheries science to connect knowledge production to markets. However, Jensen's findings also merged with Denmark's aim to secure its colonial authority in Greenland and to exert effective power over both resources and people.
'Racy of the Soil': Ian Mudie, Right-Wing Nationalism, and the South Australian Soil Erosion Crisis
Authors: Regan Jayne 
Published: January 2018

Abstract
Ian Mudie was an Adelaide-based freelance journalist, short story and history writer, and most notably a passionate and political poet. During the 1930s and 1940s the degradation of South Australian agricultural and pastoral soil inspired Mudie to evoke soil in his poetry. Soil also proved a useful metaphor which Mudie could deploy in aid of his right-wing political stance. Critics and historians have described Mudie either as a 'nationalist or propagandist' and a 'hectoring' nationalist, or, alternatively, as an early conservationist and even a 'proto ecologist'; none address the intersection of environmental concern and right-wing nationalism in his poetry and politics. This article will interrogate the relationship between these two ideologies in Mudie's work. Despite echoes of Nazi 'blood and soil' ideology, Mudie's soil erosion poetry was primarily the product of his settler imagination, and resonated with 'cultural nationalists' in the Australian literary community.
Quiescent and Active Phases in Be Stars: A WISE Snapshot of Young Galactic Open Clusters

Published: January 2018

Abstract
Through the modeling of near-infrared photometry of star-plus disk systems with the codes bedisk/beray, we successfully describe the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) photometric characteristics of Be stars in five young open clusters, NGC 663, NGC 869, NGC 884, NGC 3766, and NGC 4755, broadly studied in the literature. WISE photometry allows previously known Be stars to be detected and to find new Be candidates which could be confirmed spectroscopically. The location of Be stars in the WISE color–magnitude diagram, separates them in two groups; active (Be stars hosting a developed circumstellar disk) and quiescent objects (Be stars in a diskless phase), and this way, we can explore how often stars are observed in these different stages. The variability observed in most active variable Be stars is compatible with a disk dissipation phase. We find that 50% of Be stars in the studied open clusters are in an active phase. We can interpret this as Be stars having a developed circumstellar disk one-half of the time. The location of Be stars with a developed disk in the color–magnitude diagram require mass loss rates in agreement with values recently reported in the literature. For these objects, we expect to have a tight relation between the equivalent width of the Hα line and the mass of the disk, if the inclination is known. Also, near-infrared photometry of Be stars in stellar clusters has the potential of being useful to test whether there is a preferential viewing angle.

Abstract
The Carnegie–Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) seeks to anchor the distance scale of Type Ia supernovae via the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) method. Based on deep Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC imaging, we present an analysis of the TRGB for the metal-poor halo of NGC 1365, a giant spiral galaxy in the Fornax cluster that was host to the Type Ia supernova SN 2012fr. We have measured the extinction-corrected TRGB magnitude of NGC 1365 to be F814W = 27.34 ± 0.03stat ± 0.04sys mag. In advance of future direct calibration by Gaia, we adopt a provisional I-band TRGB luminosity set at the Large Magellanic Cloud and find a true distance modulus μ
0 = 31.29 ± 0.04stat ± 0.06sys mag or D = 18.1 ± 0.3stat ± 0.5sys Mpc. This measurement is in excellent agreement with recent Cepheid-based distances to NGC 1365 and reveals no significant difference in the distances derived from stars of Populations I and II for this galaxy. We revisit the error budget for the CCHP path to the Hubble constant based on the analysis presented here, i.e., that for one of the most distant Type Ia supernova hosts within our Program, and find that a 2.5% measurement is feasible with the current sample of galaxies and TRGB absolute calibration.
Banyan. X. Discovery of a Wide, Low-gravity L-type Companion to a Fast-rotating M3 Dwarf*

Published: January 2018

Abstract
We report the discovery of a substellar-mass co-moving companion to 2MASS J22501512+2325342, an M3 candidate member of the young (130–200 Myr) AB Doradus Moving Group (ABDMG). This L3 β companion was discovered in a 2MASS search for companions at separations of 3″–18″ from a list of 2812 stars suspected to be young (≲500 Myr) in the literature, and was confirmed with follow-up astrometry and spectroscopy. Evolutionary models yield a companion mass of

at the age of ABDMG. The 2MASS J22501512+2325342 AB system appears to be a spatial outlier to the bulk of ABDMG members, similarly to the young 2MASS J22362452+4751425 AB system. Future searches for young objects around these two systems would make it possible to determine whether they are part of a spatial extension of the known ABDMG distribution.
Devenir parent après un placement dans l’enfance
Authors: Mottrie Cindy , Duret Isabelle 
Published: January 2018

Notre propos vise à encourager les professionnels engagés auprès des familles dont un enfant est placé, à inscrire leurs interventions dans une temporalité, ces enfants dits « placés » étant potentiellement de futurs parents. Ainsi, le regard se portera d’emblée sur leur filiation, dimension transgénérationnelle essentielle du devenir. Les contextes de placement, souvent traumatiques, nécessitent des interventions éducatives et psychothérapeutiques susceptibles d’aménager le quotidien des enfants tout en les aidant à transformer leur expérience douloureuse. À travers une illustration clinique étayée par différents médiateurs de rencontre, nous mettrons en évidence combien il est important de mettre la question des origines doublée de l’ancrage filiatif et affiliatif au travail. L’utilisation des génogrammes avec les familles, les parents et les professionnels apparaît être un outil pertinent. Le but étant que ces enfants puissent construire de manière créative leur future parentalité, tout en veillant à clarifier et à assouplir la représentation de leur inscription filiative.

Published: January 2018

Notre travail en protection de l’enfance au sein du centre Benoît Labre 1 , nous a amené à exercer auprès de familles à transactions violentes. Les nombreuses contraintes externes au processus thérapeutique, notamment liées à l’institution, nous ont appris à assouplir le cadre de la consultation et à inventer un objet flottant : le génogramme dit 3D. Un cas clinique issu de notre pratique illustrera l’utilisation de l’outil génogramme. Nous discuterons enfin des implications du génogramme 3D au regard des travaux de Cirillo, Mugnier et Caillé.
Conflit de loyauté, quête d’appartenance ou désir d’être comme tout le monde ?
Authors: Mugnier Jean-Paul 
Published: January 2018

Le conflit de loyauté entre le lieu d’accueil et la famille d’origine, supposé présent chez nombre d’enfants placés, ne serait-il que le fruit d’une co-construction à laquelle participeraient activement les professionnels ? Dans cet article, je propose de reconsidérer cette notion à partir de la prise en compte des besoins évolutifs de l’enfant, en particulier celui d’appartenir et d’être « comme tout le monde ». Le témoignage à l’âge adulte d’une enfant placée illustrera ces réflexions.
La fille, la mère, l’éducatrice… Trois voix pour raconter l’expérience du placement
Authors: Potin Émilie 
Published: January 2018

Comment l’expérience du placement participe-t-elle à construire le mineur et la famille ? À partir du récit d’une mineure, de sa mère et de l’éducatrice référente, l’article cherche à situer l’expérience du placement dans la trajectoire sociale du mineur, dans la trajectoire familiale et dans les rapports de la famille avec les services sociaux. Trois femmes, trois voix pour dire des liens, des résistances, des répétitions générationnelles… Confrontés à une même expérience, trois regards, trois points de vue différents permettront d’appréhender la complexité des constructions individuelles et familiales dans ses entrecroisements avec le système de protection de l’enfance.
L’invention de la formation des entraîneurs (1941-1991) : entre construction identitaire professionnelle et pérennisation des « valeurs » du football
Authors: Grün Laurent 
Published: January 2018

Le diplôme d’entraîneur professionnel de football, créé en 1942, pose les bases d’une formation qui constitue aussitôt un espace d’identification fort, en permettant à ses lauréats de cultiver la pratique de l’entre-soi ainsi que la volonté de défendre leur profession. Le stage d’entraîneurs fournit également un cadre où se forge une culture commune, qui véhicule des valeurs liées au travail, à l’effort, à l’abnégation. Si les entraîneurs bénéficient de contenus techniques, tactiques et pédagogiques, en réalité, on leur inculque des comportements et des attitudes durables, qui marqueront plusieurs générations successives. Sous la férule de dirigeants comme Georges Boulogne, les futurs lauréats subissent en effet une rigoureuse imprégnation à des attitudes de soumission et de conformité à ces valeurs propres à « la famille » des entraîneurs. En 1947, la création de l’Amicale des entraîneurs, concomitante au stage national d’entraîneurs, contribue à la mise en place, puis à la pérennisation du caractère endogame du recrutement.

Authors: Wood Edward H. , Whitted Ryan J. , Stone Thomas W. , Isernhagen Ricky D. , Wood William J. , Holcomb Diana M. , Kitchens John W. 
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Ranibizumab (Lucentis; Genentech, South San Francisco, CA) is used off-label for the treatment of choroidal neovascularization secondary to ocular histoplasmosis syndrome (OHS). This study prospectively evaluates the safety and efficacy of two treatment paradigms utilizing ranibizumab 0.5 mg: one or three initial injections followed by monthly visits with PRN treatment through Month 12.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
In this prospective, open-label study, 21 subjects were evaluated monthly and retreated during the pro re nata treatment phase if specific criteria were met, including loss of vision, increase in subretinal fluid, or hemorrhage. Adverse events, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), and central subfield retinal thickness (CST) were evaluated.

RESULTS:
No adverse events were observed. Mean BCVA improved in both groups by approximately 2 lines, and mean CST decreased by approximately 100 μm at month 12. The number of injections was the same (5.7 and 5.8 injections).

CONCLUSION:
Results suggest that ranibizumab is safe and efficacious for treatment of CNV secondary to OHS.

Small-Gauge Endoscopy-Guided Pneumatic Anterior Hyaloid Detachment: A New Surgical Technique for Combined Pars Plana Vitrectomy and Pars Plana Glaucoma Drainage Implant
Authors: Dirani Ali , Ciongoli Marina Ravagnani , Lesk Mark R. , Rezende Flavio 
Published: January 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
Pars plana glaucoma drainage implant (GDI) occlusion is mainly related to entrapment of residual anterior vitreous gel in the implant. The aim of the present report is to describe a new surgical technique to induce pneumatic anterior hyaloid detachment in eyes with GDI.

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
This is a description of the surgical technique used to induce pneumatic anterior hyaloid detachment.

RESULTS:
The technique was used in two cases. The first patient had secondary Ahmed valve (New World Medical, Rancho Cucamonga, CA) obstruction secondary to anterior vitreous entrapment; the second patient had neovascular glaucoma secondary to proliferative diabetic retinopathy and underwent pars plana GDI implantation.

CONCLUSION:
Endoscopy-assisted anterior hyaloid detachment allows for complete removal of anterior hyaloid and decreases the risk of secondary implant obstruction.

Published: January 2018

Cette communication est une étude de cas d’un jeu « pervasif » sur mobile nommé Ingress. Nous montrerons comment cette pratique ludique transforme, à des degrés divers, l’organisation des déplacements quotidiens, tout en reposant sur différents formats d’interactions sociales (en ligne, en coprésence). Cette épaisseur collaborative est souvent vectrice de communication interpersonnelle et de sociabilité entre les membres de la communauté qui oriente également la mobilité. Initialement ethnographique, cette étude fut également l’occasion de développer de nombreuses méthodes pour comprendre les mobilités ludiques et l’interconnaissance, depuis l’analyse des activités dans des environnements naturels à l’étude statistique de millions de logs. Une attention constante sera réservée à ces méthodes dans l’optique de montrer à la fois les résultats et les moyens par lesquels ils ont été produits.
An Immunotherapeutic CD137 Agonist Releases Eomesodermin from ThPOK Repression in CD4 T Cells

Abstract
Agonists to the TNF/TNFR costimulatory receptors CD134 (OX40) and CD137 (4-1BB) elicit antitumor immunity. Dual costimulation with anti-CD134 plus anti-CD137 is particularly potent because it programs cytotoxic potential in CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. Cytotoxicity in dual-costimulated CD4 T cells depends on the T-box transcription factor eomesodermin (Eomes), which we report is induced via a mechanism that does not rely on IL-2, in contrast to CD8+ CTL, but rather depends on the CD8 T cell lineage commitment transcription factor Runx3, which supports Eomes expression in mature CD8+ CTLs. Further, Eomes and Runx3 were indispensable for dual-costimulated CD4 T cells to mediate antitumor activity in an aggressive melanoma model. Runx3 is also known to be expressed in standard CD4 Th1 cells where it fosters IFN-γ expression; however, the CD4 T cell lineage commitment factor ThPOK represses transcription of Eomes and other CD8 lineage genes, such as Cd8a. Hence, CD4 T cells can differentiate into Eomes+ cytotoxic CD4+CD8+ double-positive T cells by terminating ThPOK expression. In contrast, dual-costimulated CD4 T cells express Eomes, despite the continued expression of ThPOK and the absence of CD8α, indicating that Eomes is selectively released from ThPOK repression. Finally, although Eomes was induced by CD137 agonist, but not CD134 agonist, administered individually, CD137 agonist failed to induce CD134−/− CD4 T cells to express Eomes or Runx3, indicating that both costimulatory pathways are required for cytotoxic Th1 programming, even when only CD137 is intentionally engaged with a therapeutic agonist.
Modulation of the IL-33/IL-13 Axis in Obesity by IL-13Rα2

Abstract
In obesity, IL-13 overcomes insulin resistance by promoting anti-inflammatory macrophage differentiation in adipose tissue. Endogenous IL-13 levels can be modulated by the IL-13 decoy receptor, IL-13Rα2, which inactivates and depletes the cytokine. In this study, we show that IL-13Rα2 is markedly elevated in adipose tissues of obese mice. Mice deficient in IL-13Rα2 had high expression of IL-13 response markers in adipose tissue, consistent with increased IL-13 activity at baseline. Moreover, exposure to the type 2 cytokine-inducing alarmin, IL-33, enhanced serum and tissue IL-13 concentrations and elevated tissue eosinophils, macrophages, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells. IL-33 also reduced body weight, fat mass, and fasting blood glucose levels. Strikingly, however, the IL-33–induced protection was greater in IL-13Rα2–deficient mice compared with wild-type littermates, and these changes were largely attenuated in mice lacking IL-13. Although IL-33 administration improved the metabolic profile in the context of a high fat diet, it also resulted in diarrhea and perianal irritation, which was enhanced in the IL-13Rα2–deficient mice. Weight loss in this group was associated with reduced food intake, which was likely related to the gastrointestinal effects. These findings outline both potentially advantageous and deleterious effects of a type 2–skewed immune response under conditions of metabolic stress, and identify IL-13Rα2 as a critical checkpoint in adipose tissues that limits the protective effects of the IL-33/IL-13 axis in obesity.
