Éthique du rapport Humain-Animal
Authors: Catsaras Marc 
Published: December 2017

Les questions relatives à l’Éthique du rapport Humain-Animal sont examinées, dan son premier temps, sur deux points en particulier : respect de la vie, retrait de la vie.
1. L’être humain et l’être animal présentent les mêmes caractéristiques d’appartenance au monde vivant de la terre ; ils sont identiques de ce point de vue.
2. Les humains et les animaux obéissent à une loi inflexible : celle qui les oblige à se nourrir. Pour cela, il faut tuer ; les animaux le font, les humains aussi.
Ces deux points sont largement discutés, et la conclusion est que toute vie doit être respectée, toute mort doit être respectée.
Perspectives offertes à la production animale par l’usage des biotechnologies : les animaux monogastriques
Authors: Aumaitre Aimé 
Published: December 2017

New perspectives for biotechnology in the area of monogastric farm animals.
Products derived from monogastric animals, pigs, poultry and rabbit production are more and more popular in Europe to supply the demand of consummers for cheap safe and good quality meat. Thanks to research and innovations, these animals are more and more productive and efficient.
Recent data on nutritional physiology provided informations about the digestive (Ileal digestibility) and nutritional role of Insoluble Non Starch Polysaccharides (INSP) and Antinutritional Factors (ANFs) included in exotic imported feedstuffs, such as cereal substitutes. The utilization of mathematical models led to a more and more accurate estimation of the nutritional requirements of animals of different species at different physiological stages, and to the prediction of energy and protein value of feedstuffs, on the basis of numerous data collected throughout analytical experimental approaches.
Genetic is also a field of continuous innovation. Robertsonian translocation (T4/14) responsible for reproductive failure was recently identified in the pig species. Molecular genetic will supply informations on genetic mapping (PiGMaP) about loci governing quantitative traits in a study coordinated between 10 European countries. These results will reinforce the role of quantitative genetics applied to farm animals and herds.
Integrative physiology is presently absolutely required on the basis of numerous analytical results supplied by the different disciplines of animal biology for an efficient support and control of a profitable husbandry of monogastric animals, respectful of the animals, the environment and the consummer.

Bildunsphilosophie und empirische Forschung
Authors: Thole Werner 
Published: December 2017

Die erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftliche Forschungslandschaft hat sich in den zurückliegenden Jahrzehnten weltweit enorm expandiert und ausdifferenziert. Befördert wird diese Entwicklung durch die internationalen Vergleichsstudien der OECD wie das “Programme for International Student Assessment“ oder die Studie „Education
at a Glance 2016“. Zu registrieren ist nicht nur ein deutlicher Zuwachs an empirischen Forschungsvorhaben, sondern auch und insbesondere eine Weiterentwicklung der methodologischen Konzepte, Standards und
Ansprüche. In dem Beitrag wird aus einer erziehungswissenschaftlichen Perspektive der Zuwachs an empirischer Forschung zu zentralen Fragen der Bildung erörtert. Nach einer Vergewisserung, was heute gemeint sein kann, wenn über Bildung gesprochen wird, und einem knappen Rückblick auf die Geschichte der pädagogischen Forschung wird erörtert, worin der Ertrag einer empirischen Beobachtung von Bildungsprozessen liegen
kann. Diskutiert wird in diesem Zusammenhang auch die Ambivalenz zwischen quantitativ-statistischen und qualitativ-verstehenden Forschungsansätzen im Kontext einer erziehungswissenschaftlichen Forschung. In Erinnerung an die Beiträge Theodor W. Adornos zur empirischen Forschung wird dafür plädiert, den Streit über
die Angemessenheit und Relevanz von unterschiedlichen Methoden nicht mehr theoriedogmatisch, sondern unter Bezug auf die jeweils in den Blick genommenen Fragestellungen zu führen. Gewarnt wird in diesem
Kontext auch davor, die empirische Forschung gegen eine philosophisch orientierte Erziehungswissenschaft zu positionieren oder die kritische Bildungsphilosophie gegen empirisch grundierte Erkenntnisintentionen.
Forschung bedarf der Theorie wie andererseits eine solide Generierung von theoretischem Wissen auf empirische Daten nicht verzichten sollte.

Published: December 2017

The objective of this research is to study the effectiveness of T. remus as biocontrol agent for S. exigua. The study was conducted by releasing a set of T. remus females on potted onion plants that have been attacked by S. exigua. Three different parasitism level was artificially created by releasing different numbers of females: low rate parasitism (release of 4 adult females), moderate parasitism (7 females) and high parasitism level (11 females). The result of this study showed that T. remus is effective to control S. exigua population. Up to 48.2% of S. exigua. population was able to be suppressed by the high parasitism level. Rate of parasitisation was more when more adult female T. remus was released. Release of 11 adult female of T. remus can increase the population level of the parasitoid up to 24.1 times than the initial population. This express that T. remus is a mortality factor which can regulate the population of S. exigua. However, the succesfull parasitisation of T. remus is also dependent on environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, food, and host suitability.

Published: December 2017

Background
Pretreatment platelet count has been reported as a potential tool to predict survival outcome in several solid tumors. However, the predictive value of pretreatment platelet count remains obscure in de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) excluding acute promyelocytic leukemia (M3).

Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of 209 patients with de novo non-M3 AML in our institute over a period of 8 years (2007–2015). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to determine the optimal platelet (PLT) cutoff in patients. We analyzed the overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) using the log-rank test and Cox regression analysis.

Results
By defining the platelet count 50 × 109/L and 120 × 109/L as two cut-off points, we categorized the patients into three groups: low (<50 × 109/L), medium (50–120 × 109/L) and high (>120 × 109/L). On univariate analysis, patients with medium platelet count had longer OS and DFS than those with low or high platelet count. However, the multivariate analysis showed that only longer DFS was observed in patients with medium platelet count than those with low or high platelet count.

Conclusion
Our findings indicate that pretreatment platelet count has a predictive value for the prognosis of patients with non-M3 AML.

Published: December 2017

Histone lysine modifications are important epigenetic modifications in early embryonic development. JARID2, which is a member of the jumonji demethylase protein family, is a regulator of early embryonic development and can regulate mouse development and embryonic stem cell (ESC) differentiation by modifying histone lysines. JARID2 can affect early embryonic development by regulating the methylation level of H3K27me3, which is closely related to normal early embryonic development. To investigate the expression pattern of JARID2 and the effect of JARID2-induced H3K27 methylation in bovine oocytes and early embryonic stages, JARID2 mRNA expression and localization were detected in bovine oocytes and early embryos via qRT-PCR and immunofluorescence in the present study. The results showed that JARID2 is highly expressed in the germinal vesicle (GV), MII, 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell, 16-cell and blastocyst stages, but the relative expression level of JARID2 in bovine GV oocytes is significantly lower than that at other oocyte/embryonic stages (p < 0.05), and JARID2 is expressed primarily in the nucleus. We next detected the mRNA expression levels of embryonic development-related genes (OCT4, SOX2 and c-myc) after JARID2 knockdown through JARID2-2830-siRNA microinjection to investigate the molecularpathwayunderlying the regulation of H3K27me3 by JARID2 during early embryonic development. The results showed that the relative expression levels of these genes in 2-cell embryos weresignificantly higher than those in the blastocyst stage, and expression levels were significantly increased after JARID2 knockdown. In summary, the present study identified the expression pattern of JARID2 in bovine oocytes and at each early embryonic stage, and the results suggest that JARID2 plays a key role in early embryonic development by regulating the expression of OCT4, SOX2 and c-myc via modification of H3K27me3 expression. This work provides new data for improvements in the efficiency ofin vitroembryo culture as well as a theoretical basis for further studying the regulatory mechanisms involved in early embryonic development.
The 1.06 frequency ratio in the cochlea: evidence and outlook for a natural musical semitone
Authors: Bell Andrew , Jedrzejczak W. Wiktor 
Published: December 2017

A frequency ratio of about 1.06 often appears in cochlear mechanics, and the question naturally arises, why? The ratio is close to that of the semitone (1.059) in music, giving reason to think that this aspect of musical perception might have a cochlear basis. Here, data on synchronised spontaneous otoacoustic emissions is presented, and a clustering of ratios between 1.05 and 1.07 is found with a peak at 1.063 ± 0.005. These findings reinforce what has been found from previous sources, which are reviewed and placed alongside the present work. The review establishes that a peak in the vicinity of 1.06 has often been found in human cochlear data. Several possible cochlear models for explaining the findings are described. Irrespective of which model is selected, the fact remains that the cochlea itself appears to be the origin of a ratio remarkably close to an equal-tempered musical semitone, and this close coincidence leads to the suggestion that the inner ear may play a role in constructing a natural theory of music. The outlook for such an enterprise is surveyed.
The Potential Of The Single, Dual And Quad-Pol SAR Data On Oil Slicks Detection
Authors: Genovez P. , Freitas C. , Sant'Anna S. , Bentz C. , Lorenzzetti J. 
Published: December 2017

During the oil spills response actions, the rapid location and mapping of the oil slicks at sea surface is needed, as well as the characterization of different types of oils, avoiding false alarms whenever possible. In this way, all information provided by remote sensors can be useful to improve the strategies to cleanup oceanic regions and to protect the vulnerable coastal areas, minimizing possible environmental damages.
Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR) are widely used for this purpose, due to their potential for systematic data acquisition covering large areas with near real time delivery capability, offering different spectral and spatial resolutions, swaths, incidence angles and polarization channels.
Since the nineties automatic and semiautomatic algorithms have been developed to detect low backscatter regions related with oil slicks aiming to assist large scale monitoring initiatives. Traditionally, the majority of the SAR data used have commonly been acquired with wide swaths in single or dual-pol channels. However during the emergency situations, where the position of the oil spills are known, polarimetric SAR data (Pol SAR) can be used to provide detailed information about the occurrences, as well as to minimize the false alarms interference. Recent studies, using several polarimetric attributes, have been investigating the potential of dual, quad and compact polarization modes to detect different backscatter mechanisms in biogenic and mineral oil slicks, probably related with different chemical properties and thicknesses variations.
The objective of this paper is to evaluate the potential and the trade-offs provided by single, dual and quad-polarized data to detect oil slicks at sea surface. To accomplish this, a set of SAR data acquired by RADARSAT-2 [quad-polarized] and Sentinel-1 [dual-polarized] were processed and classified using a region classifier named Pol Class based on stochastic distances.
The Pol Class was used because of its potential to use proper statistical modeling to process SAR data in different formats. This work uses the Intensity and the Polarimetric modules to classify the SAR data. The Polarimetric module is used to evaluate all complex information contained in the Pol SAR data, and the Intensity module provides the dual and single-polarized channels assessment, making feasible to compare the advantages of using all possible polarimetric combinations.
The expectation is to contribute with the scientific community evaluation about the trade-offs provided by the single, dual and quad-polarized SAR data applied to oil detection, considering as reference the needs of the operational use during both, routine monitoring and emergency situations.
Consultants with Military Background
Authors: BRYANT BRIAN 
Published: December 2017

The smallest of the nation's uniformed armed services, the United States Coast Guard's basic missions relate to maritime safety, mobility, and security; national defense, and natural resources protection. It is responsible for enforcement of maritime laws and marine environmental pollution response.
The Coast Guard offers many career opportunities for enlisted personnel, including Marine Science Technician (MST). MSTs conduct marine-safety activities such as investigating pollution incidents and monitoring pollution clean-ups. Possible scientific duties include responding to oil and hazardous-materials spills, observing and forecasting weather.
An increasing number of civilian employers are becoming more aware of the unique strengths former military personnel can bring with them to a consultant position. A consultant is someone who has expertise in a specific area or areas and offers unbiased opinions and advice for a fee.
There are many reasons why the private and public sector need consultants for problem solving. One very important reason; Government regulatory compliance. Government regulations at all levels are constantly changing, and companies are frequently not prepared or trained to comply. Consultants may be retained to provide expertise to assist a company in complying economically, efficiently, and with the least amount of trauma to the organization. They can also be hired to provide in-house training to keep staff informed of new management and supervisory techniques or technical knowledge and to improve employee safety.
Successful consultants often possess certain attributes. They can be identified with good physical and mental health, professional etiquette and courtesy, stability of behavior and self-confident. In addition to these skills, here are two military-related attributes that most companies find attractive and will help any organization simplify the task at hand.
Loyalty to the Team. Military personnel bring with them an intrinsic understanding of how loyalty adds to team proficiency and builds trust in a work environment. For business leaders looking to make an improvement in their company, military personnel often outperform other candidates as proven team players, as demonstrated by hard work, motivation, and dedication.
Reliable Work Ethic. Knowing the importance of adhering to a schedule and consistently performing well at work demonstrates professional maturity. One of the most difficult challenges to hiring professionals is being able to accurately judge candidates in these areas. Through service, training, and lifestyle, former military personnel will typically have the work ethic that any business owner would be thrilled to replicate in all of the organization's employees.
Managing Risks to Wetlands Through Low Impact Response Methods and Ecological Approaches
Authors: Dallyn Sherree 
Published: December 2017

Canada's petroleum hydrocarbon pipeline network extends for approximately 830,000 kilometres1. These pipelines carry a variety of refined and non-refined products including, natural gas liquids, heavy oil, synthetic oil, diluent, produced water, etc. With over 14%2 of Canada consisting of wetlands, the potential for pipeline releases to significantly impact these important ecosystems is considerable. Containment, recovery and remediation of wetlands is very complex. Historically, these ecosystems were drained, excavated and then sometimes backfilled, or hydraulically altered to accommodate water recovery and disposal. SWAT Consulting Inc. employs a number of low impact technologies, practices and strategies to contain and recover spilled fluids from wetlands using Net Environmental Benefit Analysis (NEBA) as a tool for restoration and or enhancement while balancing the ecological integrity of the wetland system.
SWAT's low impact objectives focus on environmental integrity throughout every aspect of the release, from response to recovery and restoration. After determining the unique components to each wetland ecosystem, SWAT customizes low impact techniques to access the site, contain the spill, remove contaminants and restore the ecosystem.
SWAT has implemented numerous low impact spill response, recovery and remediation techniques throughout North America. In this presentation, SWAT presents various case studies from spills into different types of wetlands. In these case studies, the contaminants of concern were contained and removed from the ecosystems using these low impact methods without sacrificing ecological integrity. We will discuss methods to access targeted recovery points, in-situ biodegradable containment systems, focused recovery based on examining contaminant interaction with specific environmental components and enhanced bioremediation applications. By comparing laboratory verified data, electromagnetic surveys and other assessment information from these ecosystems, SWAT will demonstrate a drastic reduction in contaminants, and an overall regeneration and restoration of function in these ecosystems.
