Briser les idoles païennes ou les sauvegarder ? Le sort des statues divines de Caesarea (Cherchel, Algérie) à la fin de l’Antiquité
Authors: de Bruyn Gabriel 
Published: May 2016

La cité de Caesarea de Maurétanie et ses environs offrent une diversité de sources exceptionnelle pour comprendre le sort qui fut réservé aux statues des dieux païens dans l’Antiquité tardive. Une série de quatre bases de statues qui portent des inscriptions tardives mentionnant leur transfert depuis des lieux sordides, témoignent de l’intérêt que les autorités municipales portaient encore aux statues à la fin du iv	e	siècle. Au début du v	e	siècle néanmoins, deux Passions consacrées à Salsa de Tipasa et Marciana de Césarée, probablement composées par un même hagiographe habitant la région de Caesarea, diffusent auprès des fidèles un discours de légitimation de la violence individuelle contre les statues païennes, à rebours des positions adoptées par l’Église d’Afrique et la législation impériale. La documentation archéologique, enfin, fournit des témoignages difficiles à analyser de mutilations de statues, dont certaines au moins furent probablement effectuées sous le contrôle des autorités civiles, sous la pression d’une partie de la communauté chrétienne. L’ensemble de ces documents témoignent des débats et des polémiques au centre desquels se sont retrouvées les statues des dieux païens à la fin de l’Antiquité. Ils illustrent le consensus qu’elles pouvaient susciter auprès de certaines élites païennes et chrétiennes, mais aussi les multiples pressions exercées par des chrétiens plus radicaux pour obtenir leur mutilation ou leur disparition.
Baccalaureate Nursing Students' Attitudes of Prejudice: A Qualitative Inquiry
Authors: Dunagan Pamela B. , Kimble Laura P. , Gunby Susan Sweat , Andrews Margaret M. 
Published: May 2016

Background:
Attitudes of prejudice in nursing students have the potential to impact patient care and ultimately may contribute to culturally based health disparities. The purpose of this study was to describe attitudes of prejudice reported by baccalaureate nursing students.

Method:
Baccalaureate nursing students were recruited through Web networking and e-mailing. Participants responded to a Web-based survey that contained an open-ended item requesting them to describe a time when they held an attitude of prejudice. Qualitative data were coded and analyzed for themes.

Results:

The majority of participants (
N
= 50) were women (86%) and White (68%). Qualitative data analysis revealed two major themes: Prejudice Against Obese Individuals, and Prejudice Against Someone of Another Race. Many of the participants had insight that prejudice was wrong and they wanted to change.

Conclusion:

Acknowledging prejudice, as an explicit bias, is an important step toward cultural competence. Teaching strategies focused on addressing explicit and implicit bias are warranted. [

Origins in History and Historiography: A Case Study of the First Swimmer at Bondi Beach
Authors: Booth Douglas 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
The search for origins is a hallmark of historical practice; origins are also fundamental to historical narratives, the predominant form by which historians present their interpretations of the past. Yet, paradoxically, history is ill-suited to studying firsts or origins. As the historian of culture and influential figure in historiography Jacob Burckhardt reminds us, single beginnings are rare phenomena. In this article, I investigate this paradox using swimming in the surf at the renowned Australian beach of Bondi as a case study. At one level, the history of swimming at Bondi is well known. Waverley Council built the Bondi Baths in the last quarter of the nineteenth century to protect bathers from dangerous surf and currents and to control how bathers revealed themselves in public. Over time, bathers became more proficient swimmers, and competitive individuals practiced the activity as a codified sport. Adventurous souls braved the surf and became surf swimmers and bodysurfers, and local authorities progressively relaxed the rules that defined how, and when, bathers presented their bodies in public. By the 1920s, Bondi was a bathing and swimming Mecca among Sydneysiders and other Australians. However, this history is strangely silent about the origins (and nature) of early swimming at Bondi. While scant primary sources partly explain the silence, it is also a function of the fact that history does not contain fully defined or fully formed subjects ready for analysis. Historians demarcate and position their subjects that they then configure into narratives. Each of these historiographical processes involves choices on the part of the historian that leaves inordinate space for alternative histories. In the search for Bondi’s first swimmer, I highlight these choices that, I argue, simultaneously direct attention to the speculative nature of origins and reaffirm them as an inescapable dimension of narrative form. In concluding this article, I identify the conditions under which historical narratives gain social acceptance and the philosophical value of analyzing origins.
Our Myth of Creation: The Politics of Narrating Basketball’s Origin
Authors: Colás Yago 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
From basketball’s invention in 1891, changes in the sport and in society have sparked contentious discussion over the nature of basketball, as well as over the techniques and tactics that ostensibly best embody and convey that nature. Investigating these discussions, I have identified clusters of recurrent stories, metaphors, and images arising around key events and personalities. In this essay, I analyze, historicize, and offer alternatives to the foundational story in basketball culture: the myth of the game’s creation. To do so, I first employ methods of literary analysis to illuminate the narrative mechanisms by which the myth operates. I then mobilize the historical record to offer a genealogical account of how and why the myth persists. Lastly, I present and argue for the superior value of two alternative models for narrating that origin.

Interpretation and Underscoring: Modest Constructivism and the Issue of Nondiegetic versus Intradiegetic Music in Film
Authors: Pontara Tobias 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
According to modest constructivism, the spectator’s freedom to imaginatively invent the meanings of films is limited to cases where a film is genuinely indeterminate. This essay argues that the relation between standard musical underscoring and a film’s story world (or diegesis) is seldom indeterminate in this way. It also argues, however, that the diegetic status of much underscoring can be imaginatively constructed in radically different ways. Thus, modest constructivism is mistaken.
Polin: From a “Here You Shall Rest” Covenant to the Creation of a Polish Jewish History Museum. An interview with Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett
Authors: Garbowski Christopher 
Published: May 2016

Abstract
This article consists of an interview with Barbara Kirshenblatt-Gimblett, chief curator of the core exhibition of the newly opened POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. Among other subjects, the conversation touches on the philosophy underlying the creation of the museum and the way it presents its subject as well as ways in which POLIN differs from others museums of Jewish and Polish history. Its location in Warsaw, both a leading historic center of Jewish civilization and a site of Jewish martyrdom, is stressed. The museum is described as “a kind of act of recovery,” and the hope is expressed that it will strengthen the recent revival of Jewish life and culture in democratic Poland.
Comprendre l’action didactique par l’analyse des objets enseignés : l’exemple de deux séquences d’enseignement de la littérature au secondaire
Authors: Émery-Bruneau Judith 
Published: May 2016

Les programmes d’enseignement du français au secondaire québécois (2005/2009) prescrivent une liste de notions littéraires à enseigner. On ignore cependant quels sont les objets réellement enseignés sous l’appellation «littérature» et comment ils sont articulés au travail de lecture de textes littéraires en classe. Nous avons donc mené une recherche pour décrire les pratiques d’enseignement de la littérature. Nous avons filmé des séquences d’enseignement de la littérature au secondaire et les avons analysées en produisant des synopsis (Schneuwly et Dolz, 2009) afin de comprendre les objets enseignés. En décrivant deux exemples de pratique d’enseignement de la poésie, nous montrons en quoi le contexte de travail des enseignants, les tâches qu’ils proposent aux élèves, les dispositifs didactiques qu’ils choisissent et leurs connaissances littéraires ont des effets sur la façon dont ils articulent les savoirs littéraires au travail sur les textes littéraires. Puis, en conclusion, nous soulignons trois constats tirés de nos analyses et nous identifions quelques chantiers à développer dans la recherche en didactique de la littérature.
L’intervention sociologique
Authors: Dubet François , Wieviorka Michel 
Published: May 2016

Consacrée jusqu’ici à l’étude du mouvement contestataire, l’intervention sociologique prônée par Alain Touraine peut se décrire comme un processus qui, à partir de la mise en interrelation des chercheurs et des acteurs concernés aboutit à l’instauration d’un va-et-vient entre l’analyse et l’action, entre les chercheurs et les acteurs.
Les diverses composantes de ce type d’intervention sont présentées ici : nécessité d’une demande d’analyse par les acteurs, constitution de groupes d’analyse, mise en situation des acteurs en vue de créer les rapports sociaux, statuts et rôles des sociologues-chercheurs, phase de « sociologie permanente ».
L’intervention sociologique est organisée en fonction d’un objectif de connaissance et elle vise à comprendre comment se construisent l’action collective et les mouvements sociaux. Pour les militants, il apparaît que la connaissance des processus de formation de leur propre action leur est utile, d’autant qu’ils pensent que la lutte qu’ils mènent est centrale dans le type de société qui se construit sous leurs yeux et dont ils veulent être acteurs.
Un cas de force majeure : le développement des mesures d’assistance publique à Montréal au tournant du siècle
Authors: Fecteau Jean-Marie 
Published: May 2016

L'émergence d'une politique systématique d'assistance aux populations démunies au niveau municipal est très peu documentée au Québec. On trouvera ici une brève analyse du phénomène dans le cas de Montréal au tournant du siècle. L'auteur tente de montrer que la problématique d'assistance définie au dix-neuvième siècle et la place qui y est assignée aux villes sont peu à peu « dépassées » par l'ampleur du phénomène de la misère en milieu urbain. La politique d'assistance mise en place recèle des limites qui en font moins un prodrome de l'État-providence qu'une forme hybride de charité publique dont l'apogée sera la loi québécoise sur l'assistance publique de 1921.
Cosmopolites enracinés et militants transnationaux
Authors: Tarrow Sydney 
Published: May 2016

Les cosmopolites enracinés forment aujourd’hui une partie importante des groupes et des individus impliqués dans le militantisme social. S’appuyant sur les changements technologiques, l’intégration économique et les réseaux culturels, ce phénomène trouve son expression la plus frappante dans la mobilisation de jeunes militants à des manifestations organisées hors de leur propre pays, ce qu’on nomme le militantisme transnational. À partir de la définition relationnelle (et non cognitive) du cosmopolitisme, plusieurs figures du « cosmopolitisme enraciné » sont présentées, qui correspondent à autant de formes distinctes de militantisme transnational.

Published: September 2024

ImportanceCochlear implants are an effective technique for enhancing speech perception abilities in quiet environments for people with severe to profound deafness. Nevertheless, complex sound signals perception, such as music perception, remains challenging for cochlear implant users.ObjectiveTo assess the benefit of a tonotopic map on music perception in new cochlear implant users.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsA prospective, randomized, double-blind, 2-period crossover study including 26 new cochlear implant users was performed over a 6-month period (June 2021 to November 2021). An anatomical tonotopic map was created using postoperative flat-panel computed tomography and a reconstruction software based on Greenwood function. New cochlear implant users older than 18 years with bilateral severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss or complete hearing loss for less than 5 years were selected in the University Hospital Centre of Rennes in France. The trial was conducted from June to November 2021 (inclusion) and to February 2022 (end of the assessment procedure at 12 weeks postactivation), and the analysis itself was completed in December 2022.InterventionEach participant was randomized to receive a conventional map followed by a tonotopic map or vice versa.Main Outcomes and MeasuresParticipants performed pitch-scaling tasks (multidimensional qualitative assessment, melodic contour identification, melodic recognition test) after 6 weeks of each setting.ResultsThirteen participants were randomized to each sequence. Two of the 26 participants recruited (1 in each sequence) had to be excluded due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The multidimensional qualitative assessment (Gabrielsson test), melodic contour identification, and melodic recognition scores were significantly higher with the tonotopic setting than the conventional one (mean effect [ME], 7.8; 95% CI, 5.0-10.5; ME, 12.1%; 95% CI, 5.7%-18.4%; ME, 14.4%, 95% CI, 8.5%-20.2%; and ME, 2.1, 95% CI, 1.7-2.5, respectively). Among the different dimensions evaluated by the Gabrielsson test, the mean scores for clarity, spaciousness, fullness, nearness, and total impression were significantly higher with tonotopic fitting. Ninety-two percent of the participants kept the tonotopy-based map after the study period.ConclusionsIn this randomized clinical trial of patients with new cochlear implants, a tonotopic-based fitting was associated with better results in perception of complex sound signals such as music listening experience.Trial RegistrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04922619
Development of an external system for monitoring the couch speed in radiotherapy using continuous bed movement

Published: September 2024

AbstractPurposeTotal body irradiation before bone marrow transplantation for hematological malignancies using Radixact, a high‐precision radiotherapy machine, can potentially reduce side effects and the risk of secondary malignancies. However, stable control of couch speed is critical, and direct assessment methods outlined in quality assurance guidelines are lacking. This study aims to develop a real‐time couch speed verification system for the Radixact.MethodsThe developed system used a linear encoder to measure couch speed directly. Accuracy was verified via a linear stage, comparing measurements with a laser distance sensor. After placing a phantom simulating the human body on the Radixact couch, the couch speed was verified using predefined speed plans.ResultsOperating the linear stage at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mm/s revealed that the maximum position error of the developed verification system compared to the laser distance sensor was nearly equivalent to the distance resolution of the system (0.05 mm/pulse), with negligible average speed error. When the Radixact couch operated at 0.1, 0.5, and 1.0 mm/s, the values obtained by the verification system agreed with the theoretical values within the sampling period (0.01 s) and distance resolution (0.05 mm).ConclusionThe verification system developed provides real‐time monitoring of the speed of the Radixact table, ensuring treatment effectiveness and patient safety. It would guarantee the couch speed's soundness and contribute to the “visualization” of safety.

AbstractMetal–organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as leading candidates for atmospheric water harvesting (AWH). Despite their high water uptake capacity, challenges persist in effective solar‐driven desorption for water collection. Addressing this, a photothermal bridge is introduced by in situ growth of Ni₃S₂ coating on a thermally conductive nickel mesh, enhancing heat transfer to the MOF and accelerating desorption kinetics. MIL‐101 (Cr) MOF in bulk form (BMOF) is bonded to the lightweight Ni─Ni3S2 mesh using adhesive, forming a dual‐layer Ni─Ni₃S₂ mesh/BMOF assembly. This hybrid retains a high water uptake of ≈0.63 g g⁻¹ at 60% relative humidity (RH) with superior sorption kinetics. Photothermally driven heat transfer from Ni─Ni₃S₂ to BMOF achieves complete water desorption within 40 min under 1 kW m−2. Compared to other configurations like foil, granules, and foam, the mesh‐based hybrid has the highest single‐cycle adsorption–desorption kinetic of 3.18 × 10⁻3 g g⁻¹ min⁻¹. Additionally, the hybrid demonstrates exceptional hydrothermal stability over 50 cycles and maintains morphological stability with airflow, ensuring consistent performance. Heat transfer simulations confirm the thermal distribution across the Ni─Ni₃S₂ mesh/BMOF, corroborating the rapid and uniform desorption. This approach paves the way for efficient AWH in high‐RH, water‐scarce regions by enhancing desorption kinetics through solar energy.
Cu3VSe4 Cathode for Rechargeable Magnesium Batteries: Favorable Chemical and Electronic Structures Inducing Intercalation and Displacement Reactions

Published: September 2024

AbstractRechargeable Mg batteries are an advantageous energy‐storage technology with low cost and high safety, but the design of high‐performance cathode materials is currently the major difficulty. Herein, a new cathode material of Cu3VSe4 is fabricated with a comprehensive consideration of the chemical and electronic structures. The intermediate band semiconductor Cu3VSe4 has a cubic crystal structure containing interlaced 3D tunnels. The V and Se atoms form chemical bonds with high covalent proportions and facilitate the charge delocalization via the V‒Se bonds. Because of these features, Cu3VSe4 provides a high capacity of 251 mAh g‒1 with co‐redox of Cu, V, and Se elements and an outstanding rate performance of 44 mAh g‒1 at 15 A g‒1. Prominently, a high mass load of 3.0 mg cm‒2 is achieved without obvious rate capability decay, which is quite favorable to pair with the high‐capacity Mg metal anode in practical application. The mechanism investigation and theoretical computation demonstrate that Cu3VSe4 undergoes first a Mg‐intercalation and then a displacement reaction, during which the crystal structure is maintained, assisting the reaction reversibility and cycling stability. These findings reveal a rational design principle of rechargeable Mg battery cathodes based on a comprehensive consideration of chemical and electronic structures.

AbstractHigh‐precise, crosstalk‐free tactile perception offers an intuitive way for informative human‐machine interactions. However, the differentiation and labeling of touch position and strength require substantial computational space due to the cumbersome post‐processing of parallel data. Herein, a programmable and robust electronic skin (PR e‐skin) with event‐driven in‐sensor touch differential and perception, solving the inherent defects in the von Neumann framework is introduced. The PR e‐skin realizes feature simplification and reduction of data transmission by integrating the computing framework into sensing terminals. Furthermore, the event‐driven functional mode further greatly compresses untriggered redundant data. Benefiting from the minimal concise dataset, the PR e‐skin can directly differentiate touch position and pressure with swift response time (<0.3 ms). Robust carbon functional film ensures long‐term and stable implementation (>10 000 cycles) of the in‐sensor computing architectural feature. In a designable, continuous position detection with an extensive pressure range (210 kPa), which is an improvement of 5.5 times, the PR e‐skin can ultra‐sensitive extract trajectory sliding or rapping actions. Moreover, combined with customized neural network, a dual‐encryption recognition system is constructed based on slide action, reaching a high recognition accuracy of ≈98%, which reveals the great potential in intelligent interaction and security.
Electrolyte Strategy Enables High‐Rate Lithium Carbon Fluoride (Li/CFx) Primary Batteries in All‐Climate Environments

Published: September 2024

AbstractLithium/carbon fluoride (Li/CFx) batteries have garnered significant attention due to their exceptional theoretical energy density (2180 Wh kg−1) in the battery field. However, its inadequate rate capability and limited adaptability at low‐temperature are major bottlenecks to its practical application due to the low conductivity of CFx materials and electrochemical inertness of discharge products LiF. Herein, an efficient and novel functional electrolyte formula is disclosed with tin trifluoromethanesulfonate (Sn(OTf)2) as an additive to solve these challenges. It is shown that Sn(OTf)2 possessing reasonable Lewis acidity can effectively facilitate the dissolution of LiF during the discharging process. Thereafter, the CFx electrode materials exhibit excellent rate performance with 1145 Wh kg−1 at 15 000 mA g−1 (or 15 A g−1, 30 °C) and high capacity retention of 95.8% at a low temperature of −50 °C compared with the operating temperature of 30 °C. Moreover, the Sn2+ dissolved from Sn(OTf)2 promotes the formation of Li‐Sn alloy on the lithium metal anode, effectively protecting the lithium metal anode, and Li/CFx battery can be well stored for over 1 000 h at 60 °C with negligible self‐discharge behavior. This work presents a novel electrolyte exploring strategy that can effectively guide the development of next‐generation electrolytes operating under extreme conditions.
