L’émergence et le fonctionnement des réseaux sociaux numériques professionnels spécialisés en GRH du secteur public territorial : une compréhension luhmannienne
Authors: Peng Hongxia , Chanut Véronique 
Published: December 2017

Les réseaux sociaux numériques professionnels, qualifiés d’espaces numériques interstitiels à thématiques professionnelles (EIP) dans cette recherche, suscitent, en raison de leur nature émergente et ambivalente, des interrogations empiriques et conceptuelles dans la gestion des ressources humaines (GRH), notamment dans le cas du secteur public. À partir des observations exploratoires menées sur les EIP réunissant les professionnels en GRH de la fonction publique territoriale (FPT), cette recherche propose, d’une part, une compréhension systémique des attentes et des processus autour du fonctionnement des EIP et, d’autre part, une analyse contextualisée des fonctionnalités gestionnaires et managériales des EIP dans le cadre de la GRH du secteur de la FPT. S’appuyant sur le concept des systèmes autopoïétiques de Niklas Luhmann, cette recherche suggère, dans la continuité de travaux portant sur l’introduction des pensées luhmanniennes dans la compréhension des objets numériques (Kallinikos, 2005 ; Morner & von Krogh, 2009), que l’EIP est un système numérique fonctionnant avec des processus de communication auto-renouvelés entre les individus et/ou les groupes, à la fois contributeurs et consommateurs, réunis par des supports techniques dans un lieu numérique interstitiel. Un EIP peut être analysé selon trois dimensions qui interagissent : la dimension fonctionnelle, la dimension technologique et la dimension vectorielle. Sur le plan empirique, les observations menées montrent que, pour les professionnels RH du secteur observé, l’EIP est avant tout un outil professionnel de complémentarité, qui facilite notamment l’observation des pratiques professionnelles entre les pairs et l’auto-observation au travers des communications avec les pairs.
Le transfert de connaissances en intégration post-fusion : enseignements d’un cas
Authors: Thelisson Anne-Sophie 
Published: December 2017

Le transfert de connaissances dans le cadre d’une fusion-acquisition (F/A) est déterminant du succès de l’intégration post-fusion. Néanmoins, il est reconnu comme un processus long et difficile. La compréhension des éléments facilitant le processus de transfert de connaissances reste encore incomplète et plus spécifiquement dans le cadre d’intégration post-fusion. À l’aide d’une étude de cas longitudinale menée en temps réel sur deux ans d’une F/A de deux sociétés françaises cotées, nous identifions comme facilitateur du transfert de connaissances en intégration post-fusion un processus en deux étapes : (1) la reconnaissance de la nécessité d’agir par le top management en sollicitant l’aide des anciens top managers de l’entreprise cible pour assurer le transfert de connaissances, ce transfert de connaissances étant assuré via l’expérience des autres ; (2) la nécessité de déconstruire l’existant pour construire l’avenir, à travers une complète réorganisation de l’entité trois mois après le début de la phase d’intégration. Cette étude propose une aide à la prise de décision dans le cadre des F/A, mais aussi plus largement dans d’autres environnements dynamiques et complexes.
Raison, passions et conatus chez Spinoza
Authors: Cortés-Cuadra Juan-Vicente 
Published: December 2017

À partir de l’examen des difficultés que Spinoza éprouve lorsqu’il s’agit d’expliquer le fait du « suicide », cet article entend poser les premiers pas pour une archéologie du discours philosophique sur le suicide. En partant d’une définition « vulgaire » du suicide en tant qu’acte volontaire par lequel on s’efforce de supprimer sa propre existence, il faut admettre que, pour Spinoza, il ne saurait y avoir de « suicide » stricto sensu . Autrement dit, il est donc ontologiquement impossible pour tout mode d’agir en vue de sa propre suppression. De ce fait, la détermination à un tel acte doit nécessairement impliquer une cause externe par laquelle on peut aussi l’expliquer. Reste toutefois à savoir si les trois cas dont Spinoza se sert pour exemplifier son explication, rendent effectivement compte d’une telle détermination extrinsèque (E IV 20 S). Or, nous croyons que ce n’est pas le cas et qu’ils impliquent tous un certain paradoxe. C’est aussi pourquoi, afin de mettre au clair les thèses de Spinoza, nous avons tenté de restituer sa position au sein du champ de présence qui était le sien, par la lecture notamment du philosophe hollandais Adriaan Heereboord et du théologien espagnol Juan Caramuel. Par là, nous avons pu constater que la question morale du suicide se tournait en question de légitimité politique. Chez Spinoza, la question du suicide est aussi tributaire d’un questionnement politique implicite. Nous l’avons traité par la figure à peine ébauchée du pendu (E II 49 S).

Published: December 2017

ObjectiveTo investigate demographic, symptom‐related, and cognitive determinants of cane use for knee osteoarthritis (OA) and prioritize the factors that could facilitate cane use in people with no previous cane use.MethodsA survey of people ages ≥45 years with a clinical diagnosis of knee OA was conducted. The survey consisted of the following two sections: 1) demographic and cognitive determinants of cane use assessed via subscales of the Cane Cognitive Mediator Scale, and 2) 19 statements, underpinned by the Behaviour Change Wheel theoretical framework, relating to factors that could facilitate regular cane use. Logistic regression was used to examine determinants of cane use, while a priority pairwise ranking activity (1000minds software) determined the rank order of the 19 statements that could facilitate cane use.ResultsA total of 529 people completed Part 1 (80% females; 35% cane users) and 231 people completed Part 2. Age (odds ratio [OR] 1.06, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.03– 1.09), body mass index (BMI) (OR 1.03, 95% CI 1.01–1.06), knee pain ≥3 years (OR 2.62, 95% CI 1.63–4.21) and numeric rating scale pain level while walking (OR 1.19, 95% CI 1.09–1.30) were significant independent determinants of cane use. In people who had never used a cane, statements relating to cane‐use technique, fitting, knowledge of benefits, and motivation were ranked highest overall.ConclusionIndependent determinants of cane use include older age, higher BMI, greater pain duration, and greater severity of knee pain. Strategies targeting an individual's capability and motivation to use a cane may increase cane use among people with knee OA.
Finding politically feasible conservation policies: the case of wildlife trafficking
Authors: Haas Timothy C. , Ferreira Sam M. 
Published: December 2017

AbstractConservation management is of increasing importance in ecology as most ecosystems nowadays are essentially managed ecosystems. Conservation managers work within a political‐ecological system when they develop and attempt to implement a conservation plan that is designed to meet particular conservation goals. In this article, we develop a decision support tool that can identify a conservation policy for a managed wildlife population that is both sustainable and politically feasible. Part of our tool consists of a simulation model composed of interacting influence diagrams. We build, fit, and use our tool on the case of rhino horn trafficking between South Africa and Asia. Using these diagrams, we show how a rhino poacher's belief system can be modified by such a policy and locate it in a perceived risks‐benefits space before and after policy implementation. We statistically fit our model to observations on group actions and rhino abundance. We then use this fitted model to compute a politically feasible conservation policy.
Voltammetric Determination of Diffusion Coefficients in Polymer Membranes: Guidelines to Minimize Errors
Authors: Hambly Bradley P. , Sheppard James B. , Pendley Bradford D. , Lindner Erno 
Published: December 2017

AbstractDiffusion coefficients are important in the design, optimization, and selection of membranes used in many applications including chemical and biosensors. Since the diffusion‐controlled transport of the analyte and interfering ions and molecules through polymer membranes may affect the rate of response, detection limit, selectivity, lifetime, etc. of chemical and biosensors, having a rapid and accurate method for the determination of diffusion coefficients of different compounds in a variety of membranes is uniquely important. In our contribution, we present a simple protocol for the rapid determination of the diffusion coefficients of electrochemically active analytes by linear sweep voltammetry. The expected errors in the estimated coefficients have been analyzed through modeling and the correlation between the magnitude of the unknown diffusion coefficients and the method's related maximum error is presented as a contour plot for different working electrode dimensions. It is also shown that our analysis protocol can be used to estimate the diffusion coefficient in complex membrane matrices and non‐ideal experimental conditions with a maximum systematic error of 14 % even without any experimental parameter optimization.
Safety signal detection and evaluation in clinical development programs: A case study of tofacitinib

Published: December 2017

AbstractAdverse events are anticipated during a clinical development program. Tofacitinib is an oral Janus kinase inhibitor for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We describe here the process undertaken by Pfizer to investigate a safety signal for pancreatic cancer with tofacitinib. Potential cases of pancreatic cancer across indications from Pfizer's clinical trials and safety databases were identified and underwent in‐depth case review and external expert consultation. The magnitude of the signal was quantified. The feasibility of formal signal evaluation via a hypothesis‐testing study was explored. As of July 2016, 14 cases of potential pancreatic cancer were identified: eight cases in clinical development trials (psoriasis n = 6; RA n = 1; psoriatic arthritis n = 1), four cases in a postmarketing study in RA patients in Japan, and two spontaneous reports. Incidence rates (95% confidence intervals) per 100 patient‐years ranged from 0 (0, 0.02) to 0.14 in RA, 0.05 (0.01, 0.15) to 0.07 (0.02, 0.16) in psoriasis, and 0.25 (0.01, 1.37) in psoriatic arthritis. The majority of patients had established risk factors for pancreatic cancer. The pharmaceutical industry's rapid and transparent response to safety signals is essential for ensuring patient safety and enabling physicians and patients to adequately assess a drug's risk:benefit. Safety signals emerging through pharmacovigilance may be true or false indicators of a causative association with drug exposure. In this example, it was determined that tofacitinib exposure was unlikely to be related to induction and promotion of pancreatic cancer; however, a relationship with pancreatic cancer promotion could not be excluded.
Apple, Summer Mite Airblast Experiment, 1993
Authors: Hull Larry A. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Treatments were applied to single-tree plots in a randomized block design consisting of 3 replicates of ‘Yorking’ and 2 replicates of ‘Golden Delicious’. The trees were spaced 10 × 20 ft apart and were 20 years old. All treatments were applied with a Myers Mity Mist sprayer calibrated to deliver 100 gpa, driven at 2 mph. Spray dates were 1 and 13 Jul. Approximately 2 cm of rain fell within 2 h after the first application. All plots received a regular maintenance schedule of fungicides (Topsin 85DF, Captan 50WP, Nova 40WP, and Penncozeb 80WP) and nutrients (Solubor and CaCl). Post-bloom insecticides (Guthion 35WP, Lannate 1.8L) were applied as needed at 1- to 2-week intervals beginning at petal-fall in early May. Effectiveness of treatments on ERM and ZM was evaluated by counting these mites at approximately weekly intervals during the season on samples of 25 leaves/tree, 125 leaves/treatment. SP was observed by making 3 minute counts of adults and larvae around the periphery of the trees. Russet rating was based on 30 Golden Delicious apples/replicate, 60/treatment. Fruits were rated as 0 (no russet), 1 (raised lenticels), 2 (1-10%) russeted surface), 3 (11-25% russeted surface), 4 (26-50% russeted surface), or 5 (&gt;51% russeted surface).
Comparison of Foliar, Seed, and Soil Treatments for Reducing Tobacco Thrips Injury on Watermelon, 1993
Authors: McKenzie C. L. , Rowland S. , Cartwright B. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
On 3 Jun, all plots were direct seeded by hand into a Bernow series fine, sandy loam soil at the Wes Watkins AREC, Lane, OK. ‘Allsweet’ watermelons were seeded at 15 cm spacing into plots measuring 1 row wide by 12 m long, with rows spaced 3.7 m apart and each plot was separated by 3 m long buffers within rows. All treatments were replicated 3 times in a RCB design. Conventional cultural practices were used throughout the trial and irrigation was provided as needed using a surface level trickle irrigation system. Seed (S) treatments were applied on 2 Jun as a slurry to the same seedlot and allowed to dry thoroughly before planting. In-furrow (IF) treatments were applied before seeding on 3 Jun with a CO2-powered backpack sprayer calibrated to deliver 39 liters per ha at 30 psi through a single 8003 flat fan nozzle. One ft band (BA) treatments were applied at planting by hand and lightly incorporated into the soil with a rake. Sidedress (SD) treatments were applied on 15 Jul as a soil drench with a tractor-mounted injection system calibrated to deliver 239 liters per ha. Foliar (F) treatments were applied on 20 and 27 Jul with a CO2-powered backpack sprayer calibrated to deliver 127 liters per ha at 30 psi. Sprayer output was increased to 212 liters per ha at 40 psi for foliar treatments applied on 6 and 13 Aug. The sprayer boom was equipped with four hollow-cone nozzles spaced 30 cm apart for all foliar treatments. Thrips damage was rated on two leaves per plant from two plants per plot on 28 Jun and 22 Jul using the following scale: 1 = no damage, 2 = yellow flecking from thrips feeding, 3 = yellow flecking and leaf distortion from thrips feeding. Watermelons were harvested and weighed on 27 and 30 Aug and 1 Sep. Analyses of variance were used to analyze data and means were separated with Ryan-Einot-Gabriel-Welsch multiple range tests (P ≤ 0.10).

Published: December 2017

Abstract
The plots, 60 ft × 68 ft, were in a 2-yr-old stand of ‘Wampr’ alfalfa. All treatments and the untreated control were replicated 3 times in a completely randomized design. Sprays were mixed to apply the proper rates in 20 gal total vol/acre. Treatments were applied 2 Jul with a low pressure, low volume Hahn field sprayer equipped with 21 stainless steel 8003 TeeJet nozzles and operated at 35 psi. A standard treatment of Cygon 4 EC was applied at the rate of 0.25 lb (AI)/acre. PLH population densities were determined 4, 7, 11 and 17 DAT by collecting 20 sweeps from each plot with a standard 15-inch-diam beating net. A phytotoxicity rating was made in the Lorsban plots where 1 = no damage and 9 = complete kill with 2 through 8 being intermediate.
Spider Mite Control in Corn, 1993
Authors: Buschman L. L. , Wildman L. , Sloderbeck P. E. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Two tests, (1 for BGM and 1 for TSM) were established in a furrow irrigated corn field at the Southwest Kansas Research-Extension Center, Finney County, KS. In each test, treatments were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Plots were 4 rows (10 ft) wide and 50 ft long with a 4-row (10 ft) border of untreated corn on each side and a 10 ft alley at each end. Treatments were applied on 12 and 13 Aug with a high clearance sprayer using a 10 ft boom with 3 nozzles directed at each row (one on each side of the row on 16 inch drop hoses directed at the ear zone and a third nozzle directed at the top of the plant). The sprayer was calibrated to deliver 20 gal/acre at 2 mph and 40 psi. In each plot 4 plants were flagged, 2 plants in each of 2 center rows. In the BGM test, sections of corn leaves infested with Banks grass mites, collected in Haskell Co., were placed in the leaf axil of the flagged plants. In the TSM test, sections of corn leaves infested with twospotted spider mites from the laboratory colony were placed in the leaf axil of the flagged plants. Pretreatment spider mite counts were made on 9 Aug by visually searching all leaves of the flagged plants for large (adult female) spider mites. Post-treatment counts were made on 17 and 18 Aug, 23 and 24 Aug and 1 and 2 Sep (approx. 5, 11 and 20 days after treatment (DAT) respectively) by searching every other leaf (one-half plant) except for the TSM Test on 2 Sep when only half of every other leaf (one quarter plant) was searched. All spider mite counts were converted to mites per plant for presentation. Grain yield was determined by machine harvesting 2 rows per plot and the gross weight was adjusted to 15.5% moisture and converted to bu/acre.

Abstract
Cotton was planted 23 Apr at the Wiregrass Experiment Substation in Headland, AL, in 8 row plots (36 inch centers) × 75 ft long with 25 ft alleys. Treatments were arranged in a RCBD with 4 replications. Applications were made with a high-clearance sprayer to deliver 8 gal/acre using TeeJet TX10 hollow cone tip nozzles on 18-inch spacing at 55 psi at 5 mph. Water pH was 7.2-7.4 and Prime Oil was used as a spreader/sticker at recommended rates. Foliar treatments were applied 4 times (16, 22 Jun and 9, 13 Jul) followed by 6 weekly applications of Karate starting 21 Jul in order to preserve the results of the microbial treatments. Treatments were evaluated 4 times (21, 25 Jun and 12, 16 Jul) at 3-5 DAT for the presence of eggs, larvae, and terminal damage by sampling 25 terminals in the middle 4 rows/plot. Yields were taken by mechanically harvesting the middle 2 rows/plot on 22 Oct.
Sugarbeet Root Maggot Control, 1992
Authors: Stoltz Robert L. , Matteson Nancy A. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Experimental plots were established approximately 10 miles east of Hazelton. The soil type was Portneuf silt loam and the plots were furrow irrigated. Nine treatments and an untreated check were replicated 6 times in a RCBD. Individual plots were 6 rows (22 inch row spacing) by 30 ft. Alleys were cut between plots prior to harvest to give 25 ft of row per plot. On 4 Apr modified in furrow (MIFAP) applications of Temik, Counter and Tenax were made at planting including an at planting sidedress (PS) application of Temik. Temik was placed 2 inches to the water side of the furrow and 2-3 inches deep. On 13 May, post-emergence applications of Temik and Counter were made. Temik was knifed in a narrow band as in the planting sidedress application (PES) and Counter was applied as a 4 inch band over the row (PEB) and chain incorporated. Rapeseed meal was applied 14 May by hand in a 3-4 inch band (PEB) over the row and hand raked to incorporate with the soil. Post emergence applications were made just prior to irrigation. Stand counts were made weekly after thinning with the last stand count being made on 16 Jun. On 25 Jul 5 adjacent beets were dug from the middle of rows 2 and 5 to give 10 beets per plot for rating root maggot damage. The beets were washed and visually rated using the following rating systems: a Five Point System: 0 = no scars; 1 = 1-4 small scars of pinhead size; 2 = 5-10 small scars to 3 large scars; 3 = more than 3 large scars, 4 = 0.5 to 0.75 of root area blackened by scars; 5 = more than 0.75 of root area damaged, dying beet; or a Seven Point System: 0 = no damage; 1 = 1—4 small scars of pinhead size; 2 = 5-10 small scars, or up to 3 larger scars; 4 = 4 large scars to 0.25 of root surface covered with scars; 5 = 0.25 to 0.5 of root surface covered with scars; 6 = 0.5 to 0.75 of root area blackened by scars; 7 = more than 0.75 of root surface blackened, dying beet. Sugar beets were machine topped and harvested for untared weights on 15 Oct. Data were analyzed using ANOVA and LSD’s.

Published: December 2017

Abstract
Efficacy trials were conducted from 4 May through 12 Jul at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, Waiakea Experiment Station in Hilo, HI. Matured plants growing in 2 gal bags in volcanic cinder media under 80% polypropylene shade were used. Experimental plots measured 6 by 6 ft with 36 plants per block, arranged in a RCB with four blocks. Four biweekly applications of insecticides were applied beginning 4 May ending 28 Jun. Insecticides were applied at 1,846 liters/ha using a compressed air sprayer equipped with an 8004 Teejet nozzle at 40 psi. A spreader-sticker (Ad-here, Occidental Chemical Co., Lanthrop, CA) was added to all treatments including the control at a rate of 0.39 ml/liter solution. The control was sprayed with water. Anthurium flowers were harvested biweekly at Vt to full maturity and observed for thrips injury characterized by distinct bleached streaks on the front and/or back of the spathe. The percentage of thrips injured flowers were analyzed by ANOVA.
Evaluation of Insecticide Ear Tags on Horn Flies in West Central Nebraska, 1993
Authors: Boxler D. J. , Campbell J. B. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Y-Tex experimental ear tags (YT-615) were compared with PYthon® 10% ear tags for horn fly control on beef cattle. The study was initiated 17 Jun at the West Central Research and Extension Center, North Platte, NE. Cattle used in the trial were randomly selected from a herd of 200 heifers. Ear tags were applied as follows: YT-615 applied to 25 heifers (one tag per heifer), PYthon applied to 30 heifers (two tags per heifer) and PYthon applied to 120 heifers (one tag per heifer). An untreated group of 10 heifers served as a comparison. The three treatment groups were maintained in separate native range pastures throughout the study period. Horn fly counts were recorded at weekly intervals by counting flies on both sides of a minimum of 15 heifers during each fly counting session.
Susceptibility of the Brown Dog Tick to Eight Acaricides, 1991
Authors: Castella J. , Estrada A. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Formulated acaricides were evaluated for toxicity to engorged larvae and nymphs of the brown dog tick with the “tea-bag” method (envelopes made in rice paper). Engorged larvae were obtained from guinea pigs infested with 3 week old larvae from a laboratory colony. Engorged nymphs were obtained from naturally infested dogs in a kennel. Twenty recently (&lt;12 h) detached larvae or ten engorged nymphs were placed in each envelope and immediately treated. The envelopes were immersed for 3 s in concentrations of 10 ml of acaricides in 150 ml beakers. The envelopes were dry within 60 min after being dipped at ordinary room conditions (21-28°C and 40-60% RH). After 24 h, the ticks were transferred to assay tubes (5 ml) and held at 27 ± 1°C, 80 ± 5% RH, in total darkness until emergence. Ticks were classified as live (normally moulted) or dead (not able to moult, moulted but dead or incapable of walking). Data were analyzed by probit analysis.
