Twenty-Five Years after Sa-I-Gu: Multiracial Politics in Times of Crisis
Authors: Chang Jeff , HoSang Daniel Martinez , Jung Soya , Reddy Chandan , Tom Alex 
Published: December 2017

We chose to frame this conversation in terms of crisis: not only the state of permanent crisis created by racial capitalism and settler colonialism but also specific flashpoints like Sa-I-Gu [the Korean term for the April 1992 uprising in Los Angeles after the acquittal of the police officers involved in the Rodney King beating]. We want to look at the conditions surrounding these flashpoints and the responses to them that then shaped race consciousness and politics subsequently. Today we have no shortage of crisis, no shortage of flashpoints. And yet there is hope. Perhaps more than at any other time in my lifetime, there are opportunities to shift mass culture, at the very least to popularize and normalize a slightly more critical consciousness. So now I want to turn to my friends here to talk about crisis and multiracial politics. We’ll start with Sa-I-Gu and work forward to this moment and also to future possibilities.
Priming Effect Induced by the Use of Different Fertilizers on Soil Functional Diversity

Published: December 2017

Agricultural practices, such as the use of fertilizers, can change the structure and function of soil microbial community. Monitoring and assessing the soil microbiota and its dynamics related to different factors can be a powerful tool for understanding basic and applied ecological contexts. The main objective of this paper was to assess the changes of carbon turnover rate and the microbial metabolic activity, when different types of fertilizers were used, process called priming effect. A microcosm experiment was designed and performed under controlled temperature and humidity and the soil samples were analyzed using the MicroResp technique. Results show that the integration in soil of different carbon sources, such as green manure, can lead to a positive priming effect and integration of mineral fertilizers can lead to negative priming effect. The carbon sources with the highest respiratory activity were α-ketoglutaric acid, malic acid, oxalic acid, citric acid, while the lowest respiratory activity was obtained in case of arginine.
Study Regarding the Efficacy of Unconventional Treatment Products Against the Main Wheat Kernels Pathogens
Authors: MICLEA Raluca , SUCIU Loredana , PUIA Carmen 
Published: December 2017

The raising of agriculture to European Union standards requires adaptation of agricultural production to quality standards that meet the demands and exigencies of consumers by obtaining healthy crops that fit into the rigors of food security. The biological material used was constituted of wheat kernels from three varieties cultivated at ARDS Turda. The biological control of wheat pathogens can be successfully achieved, in vitro, with plant extracts, and the maximum effect of this bioproducts was achieved in the case of the variants treated with, tee tree essential oil, garlic, arnica, Hypericum perforatum and propolis.

Abstract

Background
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is an aggressive, often fatal soft tissue sarcoma that lacks an optimal salvage regimen. We retrospectively reviewed data from 29 pretreated DSRCT patients who received pazopanib at MD Anderson Cancer Center after failure of standard chemotherapies.

Subjects, Materials, and Methods
Medical records of patients treated from January 2012 to December 2016 were reviewed and regression analyses were performed. Median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and differences in survival were assessed by a log-rank test. A landmark statistical analysis was used to assess OS at a predefined 12-week time point following pazopanib initiation.

Results
The mean age at pazopanib treatment was 27.5 years (range, 6.3–50.1 years). According to RECIST 1.1 criteria, 16 patients (55%) had stable disease, 1 patient (3%) had partial response, 1 patient (3%) had complete response, and 11 patients (38%) had progressive disease. Estimated median PFS was 5.63 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.23–7.47). Median OS was 15.7 months (95% CI: 10.3–32.4). As of December 2016, 11 patients (38%) were still alive, with a median follow-up time of 16.8 (range 3.8–30.1) months. Doses between 400 and 800 mg were included. Pazopanib was well tolerated and 23 (79%) of the patients continued it until progression or death, 4 discontinued because of side effects, and 2 were still on pazopanib at the time of data analysis.

Conclusion
In the largest study conducted to date in DSRCT, pazopanib was well tolerated and clinically active in heavily pretreated patients who otherwise lack good treatment options.

Implications for Practice
Desmoplastic small round cell tumor (DSRCT) is a rare, extremely aggressive soft tissue sarcoma subtype that most commonly occurs in adolescent and young adult males. No DSRCT-specific therapies exist, and for lack of a better treatment approach, current therapies have relied upon U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs like pazopanib that exhibit clinical activity in other sarcoma subtypes. This article describes the largest experience to date using pazopanib as salvage treatment in heavily pretreated DSRCT patients. Pazopanib was well tolerated and clinically active, surpassing predefined metrics proposed by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer indicative of "active" sarcoma drugs (5.63 months progression-free survival [PSF], with 62% of the study population achieving progression-free survival at 12 weeks).
The Designscapes of Harley Parker: Print and Built Environments
Authors: Genosko Gary 
Published: December 2017

In this paper I present two views of Harley Parker, Marshall McLuhan’s longstanding collaborator. In the first I underline how Parker’s training in the arts as a typographic designer was put to work on the print projects for which he is best known, namely, on the original series of Explorations. I debate the claim that his work on Explorations 8 was not his own, and in this phase of argument I draw upon the legacy of other notable designers working in Toronto, namely, Allan R. Fleming of Cooper & Beatty Inc., the developers and promoters of Flexitype. Second, I resituate Parker’s link to installation and performance art in Canada by following the line established by his eldest son Blake Parker as resident poet of the experimental electronic band Intersystems, whose activities in 1967-68 included installations and performances at Perception 67 on the University of Toronto campus. The Mind Excursion psychedelic maze had its debut a few weeks after Harley Parker’s Hall of Fossils opened at the Royal Ontario Museum and marks the group’s origin proper. The connection between father and son is explored through the influences of elder Parker’s artistic proclivities as a painter, typographer, exhibition designer, critic, his collaborations with Marshall McLuhan, and the blend of McLuhan’s ideas, psychedelia, and kinetic art that animated Intersystems.

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="section"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>In this article, we respond to Fleer’s (2003) challenge for the need to continue to critically examine the discourses, the codes of practice, the theoretical perspectives and conceptual lenses of early childhood and “question what we have inherited, the histories that we re-enact with each generation of early childhood teachers, and to deconstruct the ‘taken-for-granted’ practices that plague our field” (p. 65). Although we are drawing on Fleer’s scholarly writing from more than 10 years ago, this special issue of the journal suggests that critical examination is ongoing and remains important at the forefront of our work in the early childhood field. Our focus is the environment, the space for play in early childhood education. Rather than add to the numerous de nitions of play, this article aims to offer place as a conceptual lens through which to consider the early play environment, and exemplifes alternative possibilities when researching and/or teaching and learning with children, their families, and the community. </span></p></div></div></div></div>

Authors: Pérez-Ramírez Carlos Alberto , Contreras de la Torre Ivonne 
Published: December 2017

Frente a la complejidad ambiental actual, es preciso avanzar en la delineación de estrategias productivas que contribuyan a la conservación y valorización del medio natural, así como al mejoramiento de las condiciones de vida y al bienestar social de la población. En el caso de la comunidad de San Ildefonso, ubicada en el municipio de Ixtlahuaca, estado de México (México), existen recursos naturales y culturales que pueden impulsar el desarrollo del ecoturismo como alternativa económica para los actores locales soportada en el adecuado aprovechamiento de los recursos. En este sentido, el artículo analiza las condiciones para impulsar el ecoturismo comunitario en la localidad con la finalidad de favorecer el desarrollo sustentable. Para ello, se retoman las aportaciones de López (2003), para determinar la potencialidad a partir de un modelo de desarrollo turístico integrado. Con base en los resultados obtenidos, es posible identificar la existencia de recursos naturales y culturales con un potencial turístico, que pueden propiciar el desplazamiento de turistas. Además, los visitantes de la región muestran interés por conocer dicha localidad, al tiempo que la población local cuenta con disposición de participar en un proyecto de ecoturismo comunitario.

Las rizobacterias lideran una serie de mecanismo en el sistema radículas en plantas que favorecen en aspectos fisiológicos como: desarrollo radicular por la producción de auxinas y promueven el mecanismo de defensa a nivel sistémico. Las rizobacterias del género Pseudomonas spp reportan tener capacidad de producir ácido indolil-3-acetico (AIA), en presencia del precursor Triptófano, bajo condiciones in vitro. La rizobacterias Promotoras de Crecimiento en Plantas (PGPR), en contacto con las raíces de la planta, estas rizobacterias utilizan los exudados de aminoácidos proteinogénico triptófano precursor para síntesis de AIA, esto incrementa la producción del fitoregulador que favorecen el desarrollo y proliferación de la biomasa radicular adventicias. Se rescata la importancia del empleo de PGPR, como efectores en el mecanismo en defensa sensu stricto para la Resistencia Sistémica Inducida (RSI), que activa el estado de prealerta en la planta antes y después de ser sometida al agente patogénico. La RSI se activa por la ruta dependiente al jasmonato (JA) y etileno (ET).
L’agroforesterie en marche… Point de vue d’un observateur averti
Authors: NJOUKAM Raphaël 
Published: December 2017

L’agroforesterie, considérée aujourd’hui comme un concept scientifique, s’est en réalité inspirée des pra-tiques multiséculaires de gestion de fertilité du sol en milieu rural. Ces pratiques ont été progressivement imposées par la forte densité des populations, la rareté des terres arables et le désir de chaque famille ou lignée d’acquérir sur son terroir une certaine autosuffisance en produits alimentaires, ligneux et médicinaux. Décrivant le système bocager en pays bamiléké au Cameroun, Despois (1945) notait déjà la pratique de l’enfouissement des feuilles mortes ou issues de l’émondage des ligneux pour combattre l’épuisement des terres...
Un numéro spécial entièrement consacré à André Aubréville
Authors: Tassin Jacques , Trébuchon Jean-François 
Published: December 2017

Cela faisait bien longtemps que Bois et Forêts des Tro- piques souhaitait rendre hommage au grand forestier tropical qu’était André Aubréville (1897-1982). Il s’agis- sait d’une part d’honorer l’un des premiers fondateurs de la revue Bois et Forêts des Tropiques, mais nous sou- haitions aussi et surtout contribuer à faire connaître très largement le legs scientifique et technique d’un person- nage d’exception.C’est ce qui explique que ce numéro soit entièrement en anglais. Quelques-uns des principaux articles qu’Aubréville publia dans cette revue, et dont nous avons assuré la tra- duction, sont désormais accessibles par un lectorat non francophone. Nous en sommes très heureux.Nous avons recouru à l’expertise de Michel Arbonnier, botaniste des formations boisées tropicales, pour réactua- liser les références taxonomiques des espèces végétales citées par Aubréville dans l’un ou l’autre de ses articles. Il nous a en effet semblé judicieux de proposer au lecteur des noms botaniques en vigueur, plutôt que d’anciens synonymes désormais périmés et parfois oubliés.Notre lectorat sera sans doute surpris d’observer combien Aubréville était à la fois un précurseur et un visionnaire, comme le montre l’article introductif qui présente som- mairement la biographie et l’œuvre de ce grand forestier. Mais nous convions surtout nos lecteurs, quelle que soit leur langue de travail, à se replonger dans les articles d’Aubréville, disponibles en langue française dans les archives en ligne de la revue (http://bft.cirad.fr/revues/ index_fr.php?mots=aubr%E9ville), et désormais en langue anglaise dans les pages qui suivent.
Erosion under Forest Cover and Erosion in Deforested Areas in the Humid Tropical Zone
Authors: Aubréville André , Bossanyi Ilona 
Published: December 2017

L’érosion par décapage ou par ravinement reste insignifiante sous la forêt dense tro- picale. Une érosion sérieuse peut certes se manifester localement sous couvert forestier, sous la forme de glissement de terrains saturés d’eau. De tels cas peuvent être observés à Madagascar, dans la forêt d’Anamalazoatra ou dans celle de Marojejy. Un cas connu d’érosion généralisée sous forêt dense se situe en Amazonie péruvienne, près de la petite localité de la Merced, sur des pentes très abruptes. Mais ce sont là des exceptions. Dans les temps géologiques, durant les périodes de transformations tectoniques, l’érosion peut aussi avoir été intense sous forêt dense, générant des reliefs tourmentés, parfois des « badlands ». Mais dans tous ces cas, l’érosion ne se produit sous forêt que lorsqu’il y a élé- vation du niveau de base des fleuves par rapport au niveau des océans, comme cela s’est manifesté durant les glacia- tions quaternaires. Là où la forêt manque aujourd’hui, se manifestent en revanche des phénomènes d’érosion parfois spec- taculaires. Ceux-ci peuvent prendre des proportions spectaculaires dans des régions autrefois forestières, récemment et sévèrement éclaircies. Les situations les plus extrêmes sont observées à Ma- dagascar, au Congo, au Gabon, au Brésil et dans la partie tempérée des USA, tout particulièrement dans le bassin cupri- fère du Tennessee. Ces exemples confir- ment pleinement la vertu antiérosive des forêts. Lorsque l’érosion est déclenchée, celle-ci ne peut être arrêtée qu’à grands frais, et dans des zones restreintes. La fo- rêt joue donc un rôle anti-érosif préventif à la fois naturel, peu coûteux, et opérant sur de larges étendues.Résumé adapté par la rédaction de la revue.

En Afrique centrale, l’aménagement fores- tier repose sur une méthode de simulation de la production forestière peu précise, susceptible d’hypothéquer la durabilité de l’exploitation. L’objectif de cette étude est d’améliorer la prédiction de la crois- sance pour quatre essences commerciales importantes en Afrique centrale. Le dispo- sitif d’étude a été installé dans le Sud-Est du Cameroun et comporte 387 arbres : 136 assamela (Pericopsis elata), 54 moabi (Baillonella toxisperma), 124 sapelli (En- tandrophragma cylindricum), et 73 tali (Erythrophleum suaveolens). Le diamètre a été mesuré régulièrement entre 2009 et 2012. L’intensité de la compétition a été quantifiée à l’échelle d’une placette circu- laire de 20 m de rayon installée autour de chaque arbre focal. Les caractéristiques to- pographiques et hydrologiques ont été esti- mées à l’aide d’un système d’information géographique. La croissance a été modéli- sée en intégrant le diamètre des arbres et les conditions de croissance (indice de com- pétition et environnement local). Les valeurs d’accroissement utilisées actuellement au Cameroun ne sont pas différentes des va- leurs observées en forêt non perturbée par l’exploitation forestière pour l’assamela, le moabi et le tali, mais surestiment la crois- sance de 20 % pour le sapelli. Un modèle log-normal intégrant le diamètre des arbres et l’intensité de la compétition permet d’es- timer l’accroissement des quatre essences avec un coefficient de détermination (R2) va- riant de 0,092 pour l’assamela à 0,47 pour le moabi. Les variables topographiques et hydrologiques ne permettent pas d’amé- liorer significativement la qualité des pré- dictions. Ces modèles peuvent être utilisés pour prédire l’accroissement à partir des données d’inventaires forestiers d’aména- gement tels qu’ils sont réalisés en Afrique centrale, en vue d’améliorer la définition de paramètres de gestion tels que le dia- mètre minimum d’exploitation ou le taux de reconstitution pour les quatre essences étudiées.
