Physical Function and Physical Activity in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Authors: Painter Patricia L. , Agarwal Adhish , Drummond Micah 
Published: October 2017

Background Physical functioning (PF) and physical activity (PA) are low in patients treated with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD). Little information exists on this topic in patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD). The objective of this study was to compare PF and PA in patients with Stage-5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) treated with PD and in-center MHD. Methods Physical functioning was measured in 45 prevalent PD patients using standard physical performance measures that include gait speed, chair stand, standing balance, 6-minute-walk, incremental shuttle walk and self-reported PF using the short form (SF)-36 questionnaire. Physical activity was determined from self-report and using the Community Healthy Activities Model Program for Seniors (CHAMPS) questionnaire. Scores for the short physical performance battery (SPPB) were calculated. In-center MHD patients were matched by age, gender, and diabetes status to the PD patients. Results Unadjusted comparisons showed significantly higher 6-minute-walk distance, shuttle-walk distance and hand-grip in the PD patients. Adjustment in multiple regression analysis resulted in only gait speed being significantly different between the groups. All test results in both groups were lower than reference values for age and gender in the general population, and were at the levels indicating impairment. Physical activity was not different between the 2 groups (average age 49 yrs), and both groups had weekly caloric expenditure from all exercise and from moderate-intensity exercise that was similar to older (> 70 yrs) community-dwelling adults. Adjusted association indicated that PA was significantly associated with shuttle-walk distance. Conclusions Physical functioning and PA measures were low in both PD and MHD groups. Interventions to improve PA and PF should be strongly considered for both PD and MHD patients.
Field-parallel Acceleration: Comment on the Paper “Electric Currents on the Flare Ribbons: Observations and Standard Model” by Janvier et al. (2014, ApJ, 788, 60)
Authors: Haerendel G. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
It is proposed that the coincidence of higher brightness and upward electric current observed by Janvier et al. during a flare indicates electron acceleration by field-parallel potential drops sustained by extremely strong field-aligned currents of order 104 A m−2. A few consequences are discussed here.

Abstract
The Chromospheric Lyman Alpha Spectropolarimeter (CLASP) observed the Sun in H i Lyα during a suborbital rocket flight on 2015 September 3. The Interface Region Imaging Telescope (IRIS) coordinated with the CLASP observations and recorded nearly simultaneous and co-spatial observations in the Mg ii h and k lines. The Mg ii h and Lyα lines are important transitions, energetically and diagnostically, in the chromosphere. The canonical solar atmosphere model predicts that these lines form in close proximity to each other and so we expect that the line profiles will exhibit similar variability. In this analysis, we present these coordinated observations and discuss how the two profiles compare over a region of quiet Sun at viewing angles that approach the limb. In addition to the observations, we synthesize both line profiles using a 3D radiation-MHD simulation. In the observations, we find that the peak width and the peak intensities are well correlated between the lines. For the simulation, we do not find the same relationship. We have attempted to mitigate the instrumental differences between IRIS and CLASP and to reproduce the instrumental factors in the synthetic profiles. The model indicates that formation heights of the lines differ in a somewhat regular fashion related to magnetic geometry. This variation explains to some degree the lack of correlation, observed and synthesized, between Mg ii and Lyα. Our analysis will aid in the definition of future observatories that aim to link dynamics in the chromosphere and transition region.

Abstract
We present calibrations for star formation rate (SFR) indicators in the ultraviolet, mid-infrared, and radio-continuum bands, including one of the first direct calibrations of 150 MHz as an SFR indicator. Our calibrations utilize 66 nearby star-forming galaxies with Balmer-decrement-corrected

luminosities, which span five orders of magnitude in SFR and have absolute magnitudes of

. Most of our photometry and spectrophotometry are measured from the same region of each galaxy, and our spectrophotometry has been validated with SDSS photometry, so our random and systematic errors are small relative to the intrinsic scatter seen in SFR indicator calibrations. We find that the Wide-field Infrared Space Explorer W4 (22.8 μm), Spitzer 24 μm, and 1.4 GHz bands have tight correlations with the Balmer-decrement-corrected Hα luminosity, with a scatter of only 0.2 dex. Our calibrations are comparable to those from the prior literature for L
∗ galaxies, but for dwarf galaxies, our calibrations can give SFRs that are far greater than those derived from most previous literature.
Clustering of Local Group Distances: Publication Bias or Correlated
Measurements? V. Galactic Rotation Constants
Authors: de Grijs Richard , Bono Giuseppe 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
As part of an extensive data mining effort, we have compiled a database of 162
Galactic rotation speed measurements at R
0 (the
solar Galactocentric distance),

. Published between 1927 and 2017 June, this represents the
most comprehensive set of

values since the 1985 meta-analysis that led to the last
revision of the International Astronomical Union’s recommended Galactic
rotation constants. Although we do not find any compelling evidence for the
presence of “publication bias” in recent decades, we find clear
differences among the

values and the

ratios resulting from the use of different tracer populations.
Specifically, young tracers (including OB and supergiant stars, masers, Cepheid
variables, H ii regions, and young open clusters), as well as kinematic
measurements of Sgr A* near the Galactic Center, imply a significantly
larger Galactic rotation speed at the solar circle and a higher

ratio (i.e.,

km s−1 and

km s−1 kpc−1; statistical
uncertainties only) than any of the tracers dominating the Galaxy’s mass
budget (i.e., field stars and the H i/CO distributions). Using the
latter to be most representative of the bulk of the Galaxy’s matter
distribution, we arrive at an updated set of Galactic rotation
constants,
Organic Aerosols in the Presence of CO2 in the Early Earth and Exoplanets: UV–Vis Refractive Indices of Oxidized Tholins
Authors: Gavilan Lisseth , Broch Laurent , Carrasco Nathalie , Fleury Benjamin , Vettier Ludovic 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
In this experimental study we investigate the role of atmospheric CO2 on the optical properties of organic photochemical aerosols. To this end, we add CO2 to a N2:CH4 gas mixture used in a plasma typically used for Titan studies. We produce organic thin films (tholins) in plasmas where the CO2/CH4 ratio is increased from 0 to 4. We measure these films via spectrometric ellipsometry and apply a Tauc–Lorentz model, used for optically transparent materials, to obtain the thickness of the thin film, its optical band gap, and the refractive indices in the UV–visible (270–600 nm). All samples present a significant absorption band in the UV. According to the Tauc–Lorentz model, as the CO2/CH4 ratio is quadrupled, the position of the UV band is shifted from ∼177 nm to 264 nm while its strength is quadrupled. Consequently, we infer that oxidized organic aerosols absorb more efficiently at longer UV wavelengths than reduced aerosols. Our laboratory wavelength-tabulated UV–vis refractive indices provide new constraints to atmospheric models of the early Earth and Earth-like exoplanets including photochemical hazes formed under increasingly oxidizing conditions.

Abstract
We analyze the spectra of 300,000 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) with stellar masses

from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). By studying their star formation histories, we find two main evolutionary paths converging into the same quiescent galaxy population at

. Fast-growing LRGs assemble 80% of their stellar mass very early on (

), whereas slow-growing LRGs reach the same evolutionary state at

. Further investigation reveals that their clustering properties on scales of ∼1–30 Mpc are, at a high level of significance, also different. Fast-growing LRGs are found to be more strongly clustered and reside in overall denser large-scale structure environments than slow-growing systems, for a given stellar-mass threshold. Our results show a dependence of clustering on a property that is directly related to the evolution of galaxies, i.e., the stellar-mass assembly history, for a homogeneous population of similar mass and color. In a forthcoming work, we will address the halo connection in the context of galaxy assembly bias.
On the Chemical Mixing Induced by Internal Gravity Waves
Authors: Rogers T. M. , McElwaine J. N. 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Detailed modeling of stellar evolution requires a better understanding of the (magneto)hydrodynamic processes that mix chemical elements and transport angular momentum. Understanding these processes is crucial if we are to accurately interpret observations of chemical abundance anomalies, surface rotation measurements, and asteroseismic data. Here, we use two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of the generation and propagation of internal gravity waves in an intermediate-mass star to measure the chemical mixing induced by these waves. We show that such mixing can generally be treated as a diffusive process. We then show that the local diffusion coefficient does not depend on the local fluid velocity, but rather on the wave amplitude. We then use these findings to provide a simple parameterization for this diffusion, which can be incorporated into stellar evolution codes and tested against observations.
High-energy Neutrino Emission from Short Gamma-Ray Bursts: Prospects for Coincident Detection with Gravitational Waves
Authors: Kimura Shigeo S. , Murase Kohta , Mészáros Peter , Kiuchi Kenta 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
We investigate current and future prospects for coincident detection of high-energy neutrinos and gravitational waves (GWs). Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are believed to originate from mergers of compact star binaries involving neutron stars. We estimate high-energy neutrino fluences from prompt emission, extended emission (EE), X-ray flares, and plateau emission, and we show that neutrino signals associated with the EE are the most promising. Assuming that the cosmic-ray loading factor is ∼10 and the Lorentz factor distribution is lognormal, we calculate the probability of neutrino detection from EE by current and future neutrino detectors, and we find that the quasi-simultaneous detection of high-energy neutrinos, gamma-rays, and GWs is possible with future instruments or even with current instruments for nearby SGRBs having EE. We also discuss stacking analyses that will also be useful with future experiments such as IceCube-Gen2.

Les anglicismes en économie, technologie, mode, etc., traduisent un rapport culturel aussi transatlantique qu’asymétrique : les mots viennent de là-bas. Le vocabulaire politique suit. On peut s’en amuser ; ainsi, « la composition du gouvernement sera annoncée plus tard » peut se traduire par « On pushe la deadline de management team building mais ce ne sera pas impactant sur le time to market . » Plus sérieusement, les emprunts de notre langue de pouvoir au globish refléteront ce que devient le pouvoir autant que ce que devient la langue. Le recours à des vocables présumés manquer en français traduit souvent des pratiques récentes – qu’il s’agisse d’un terme technique dont on découvre l’impact politique, ou concept produit par un think tank U.S., donc vite internationalisé – de nouvelles façons d’influencer. Ainsi, quand posttruth era est consacré « mot de l’année 2016 », nous savons que tout ce qui pense sur nos rives va conceptualiser la soudaine indifférence de l’opinion aux critères de l’authenticité et de la vérification.

La poïétique d’Étienne Souriau
Authors: Conte Richard 
Published: October 2017

Ce texte fait d’abord l’histoire très méconnue de l’Institut d’Esthétique d’Étienne Souriau qui s’est prolongé dans les années soixante-dix avec les recherches poïétiques de René Passeron et aujourd’hui avec l’Institut ACTE dont l’acronyme illustre bien des préoccupations concernant à la fois l’art, la création, les sciences de l’art et l’esthétique. De fait, après Valéry, Souriau a fortement contribué à féconder la poïétique tout en restant fondamentalement du côté de l’ Aisthèsis. Aussi, Passeron, reprenant à son compte la terminologie de Souriau, place t-il la notion d’ instauration (qui peut faire débat) au centre du dispositif poïétique. Par ailleurs Souriau procède aussi à une clarification des concepts aristotéliciens dont il montre qu’ils font système dans l’analyse de la création et de la réception des œuvres. Ses études des modes d’existence , de « la notion d’œuvre » et de la correspondance des arts demeurent des clefs indispensables pour l’analyse du faire créateur.
La vie comme œuvre d’art
Authors: Domenicali Filippo 
Published: October 2017

Étienne Souriau a développé une philosophie originale de l’Instauration enracinée dans une nouvelle anthropologie de la création : l’homme est conçu comme l’ animal instaurateur . Il a développé systématiquement cette intuition fondatrice en explorant ses enjeux à l’intérieur de trois domaines principaux : l’instauration artistique (l’art étant le genre le plus pur de l’instauration, il constitue le modèle pour les autres), l’instauration philosophique, et enfin ce qu’il a appelé « l’instauration de soi ». Ce dernier domaine instauratif a été thématisé dans un cours public que Souriau a donné à Lyon en 1929-1930, qui s’intitulait justement L’esthétique et l’art de vivre . La vie constitue donc une matière à partir de laquelle on peut donner une forme (forme-de-vie) et qui peut devenir ainsi, en elle-même, œuvre . Mais – on pourrait se demander – de quelle forme s’agit-il ? Souriau répond que la vie peut être matière, tour à tour prenant des formes pythagoriques, dynamiques, skeuologiques et psycho-esthétiques . Il faudrait aussi considérer la notion d’ œuvre . L’œuvre d’art, précise Souriau, doit être considérée, en elle-même à l’instar d’une personne – c’est-à-dire comme un être plurimodal, qui rassemble en soi et synthétise plusieurs niveaux existentiels à la fois. Selon l’ontologie développée dans Les Différents Modes d’existence enfin, le plus haut but de l’existence doit être celui d’un devenir sur-existentiel , visant à se dépasser en transcendance, la vie devenant ainsi vie sublime . On pourrait donc soutenir que, selon Souriau, la vie peut devenir une œuvre d’art, et l’œuvre d’art est une forme-de-vie .
Observation clinique dans le cadre d’une thérapie psychosomatique
Authors: Karroum Nayla 
Published: October 2017

Comment se fait-il qu’un enfant signalé asthmatique par ses parents ne présente aucun signe visible à l’école ? L’espace scolaire n’est pas dans l’impasse maternelle et évite l’allergie, alors que l’espace familial renvoie à une impasse dans la relation maternelle : lorsqu’il y a banalisation des affects, un attachement fusionnel à la mère et les crises d’asthme apparaissent dans cette relation double à la mère. L’allergie peut s’inscrire dans une organisation familiale qui ne permet pas de triangulation. Cette observation montre le lien entre la vie émotionnelle et la pathologie clinique allergique qui se constitue dans la relation. La thérapeutique en psychosomatique relationnelle a placé l’enfant devant sa problématique d’impasse relationnelle et identitaire, dans un espace où la thérapeutique du corps de l’espace et de la relation a acquis ses représentations par l’imaginaire.
Le dispositif « Plus de maîtres que de classes » : un dispositif professionnalisant ?
Authors: Magogeat Quentin 
Published: October 2017

Le dispositif « Plus de maîtres que de classes » prévoit l’affectation d’un maître supplémentaire dans certaines écoles afin d’aider les équipes enseignantes à mieux prévenir les difficultés scolaires et à y remédier. À partir de l’étude de la mise en place de ce dispositif dans quelques écoles, l’article vise à comprendre les effets du travail en binôme dans la classe sur leur métier. Dans un contexte marqué par l’incitation au travail collectif, l’étude s’attache à saisir si ce dispositif peut, et dans quelle mesure, être un cadre propice à la professionnalisation des enseignants. Trois dimensions sont ainsi abordées : la question du temps, la visibilité du travail des enseignants lorsqu’ils sont deux dans la classe et enfin l’importance de « lever les implicites » et de « se mettre en retrait » pour les enseignants impliqués dans ce dispositif.
Students' Perceptions of a Poem to Evaluate Learning: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Saunders Mitzi M. , Kowalski Sonya L. , Weathers Suzanne 
Published: October 2017

Background:
How best to use poetry in nursing education remains uncertain. This study explored students' perceptions of incorporating a poem into a final examination to evaluate learning in an advanced physical assessment course.

Method:
Qualitative design and method were used to collect and analyze data retrieved from private interviews with seven graduate nursing students.

Results:
The themes were Being There, Think More, and Feeling Rushed. Students recommended the strategy as a measure of learning because it simulated a real patient encounter and made them think at a deeper level than other traditional approaches used to evaluating learning.

Conclusion:

Poetry might engage nursing students in thinking critically and compassionately and be closer in touch with real-time nursing care than other traditionally used methods to evaluate nursing practice. More research is needed to validate poetry's best fit in nursing curricula. [

The Cooperative Role of CD326+ and CD11b+ Dendritic Cell Subsets for a Hapten-Induced Th2 Differentiation
Authors: Cho Yuri , Kwon Dohyeong , Kang Suk-Jo 
Published: October 2017

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in directing immune responses. Previous studies have identified a variety of DC subsets and elucidated their context-dependent functions that parallel those of effector Th cell subsets. However, little is known about the DC subsets responsible for differentiation of Th2 cells governing allergic contact dermatitis. In this study, we sought to determine the DC subset(s) that mediate Th2 priming in hapten-sensitized mice. We induced hapten-specific Th2 differentiation by sensitizing the mice with a single application of FITC dissolved in acetone:dibutyl phthalate, and traced the immune cells responsible for inducing the Th2 differentiation process at the primary stimulation, enabling us to track Th2 priming in vivo and to delete basophils and specific DC subsets. Our analysis revealed that IL-4 was produced in vivo as early as day 3 from CD4+ T cells with a single application of FITC. Basophils, despite producing IL-4 1 d earlier than T cells, were found to be dispensable for Th2 differentiation. Instead, we demonstrated that CD326+ dermal DCs and Langerhans cells were redundantly required for FITC-induced Th2 differentiation in vivo. Moreover, the cooperation of CD326+ Langerhans cells and CD11b+ DCs differentiated naive T cells into Th2 cells in vitro. Collectively, our findings highlight at least two DC subsets that play a critical role in polarizing naive CD4+ T cells to Th2 cells and support a two-hit model for Th2 differentiation.
Interaction of Neutrophils with Macrophages Promotes IL-1β Maturation and Contributes to Hepatic Ischemia–Reperfusion Injury

Abstract
Accumulating evidence suggests that IL-1β plays a pivotal role in the pathophysiology of hepatic ischemia–reperfusion (I/R) injury; however, the mechanism by which I/R triggers IL-1β production in the liver remains unclear. Recent data have shown that neutrophils contribute to hepatic I/R injury independently of the inflammasomes regulating IL-1β maturation. Thus, we investigated the role of neutrophils in IL-1β maturation and tissue injury in a murine model of hepatic I/R. IL-1β was released from the I/R liver and its deficiency reduced reactive oxygen species generation, apoptosis, and inflammatory responses, such as inflammatory cell infiltration and cytokine expression, thereby resulting in reduced tissue injury. Depletion of either macrophages or neutrophils also attenuated IL-1β release and hepatic I/R injury. In vitro experiments revealed that neutrophil-derived proteinases process pro–IL-1β derived from macrophages into its mature form independently of caspase-1. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of serine proteases attenuated IL-1β release and hepatic I/R injury in vivo. Taken together, the interaction between neutrophils and macrophages promotes IL-1β maturation and causes IL-1β–driven inflammation in the I/R liver. Both neutrophils and macrophages are indispensable in this process. These findings suggest that neutrophil-macrophage interaction is a therapeutic target for hepatic I/R injury and may also provide new insights into the inflammasome-independent mechanism of IL-1β maturation in the liver.
