Authors: Hegazy Galal , Safwat Hesham , Seddik Mahmoud , Al-shal Ehab A. , El-Sebaey Ibrahim , Negm Mohamed 
Published: June 2016

Background:
The optimal operative method for acromioclavicular joint reconstruction remains controversial. The modified Weaver-Dunn method is one of the most popular methods. Anatomic reconstruction of coracoclavicular ligaments with autogenous tendon grafts, widely used in treating chronic acromioclavicular joint instability, reportedly diminishes pain, eliminates sequelae, and improves function as well as strength.

Objective:
To compare clinical and radiologic outcomes between a modified Weaver-Dunn procedure and an anatomic coracoclavicular ligaments reconstruction technique using autogenous semitendinosus tendon graft.

Methods:
Twenty patients (mean age, 39 years) with painful, chronic Rockwood type III acromioclavicular joint dislocations were subjected to surgical reconstruction. In ten patients, a modified Weaver-Dunn procedure was performed, in the other ten patients; autogenous semitendinosus tendon graft was used. The mean time between injury and the index procedure was 18 month (range from 9 – 28). Clinical evaluation was performed using the Oxford Shoulder Score and Nottingham Clavicle Score after a mean follow-up time of 27.8 months. Preoperative and postoperative radiographs were compared.

Results:
In the Weaver-Dunn group the Oxford Shoulder Score improved from 25±4 to 40±2 points. While the Nottingham Clavicle Score increased from 48±7 to 84±11. In semitendinosus tendon graft group, the Oxford Shoulder Score improved from 25±3 points to 50±2 points and the Nottingham Clavicle Score from 48±8 points to 95±8, respectively.

Conclusion:
Acromioclavicular joint reconstruction using the semitendinosus tendon graft achieved better Oxford Shoulder Score and Nottingham Clavicle Score compared to the modified Weaver-Dunn procedure.
Efficacy of a coaxial system with a compliant balloon catheter for navigation of the Penumbra reperfusion catheter in tortuous arteries: technique and case experience

Published: June 2016

OBJECTIVE
The authors describe a method by which they easily and atraumatically navigate a large-bore reperfusion catheter of the Penumbra system to an embolus by using a coaxial system with a compliant balloon catheter in patients with tortuous arteries.

METHODS
A retrospective review of the prospective endovascular database was performed to identify cases in which a coaxial system with a compliant balloon catheter (Scepter C, MicroVention/Terumo; or TransForm C, Stryker Neurovascular) and a large-bore reperfusion catheter of the Penumbra system (Penumbra, Inc.) was used. The authors achieved a stable guiding sheath position and delivered the coaxial system with a compliant balloon catheter and a large-bore reperfusion catheter. Then, the balloon was inflated somewhat when the distal tip of the balloon was slightly advanced from the tip of the reperfusion catheter, and together the coaxial system was advanced to an embolus over a 0.014-in guidewire, even around the corner. When the distal tip of the balloon catheter reached the embolus, the authors deflated the balloon and navigated the large-bore reperfusion catheter to the embolus. Finally, the aspiration of the embolus with the Penumbra MAX pump was begun.

RESULTS
Between May 2014 and September 2015, the authors used this technique in 17 cases: 16 cases of middle cerebral artery occlusion (including 5 cases of internal carotid artery occlusion) and 1 case of basilar artery occlusion (age range 36–88 years, mean age 74.7 years, 13 men). For the reperfusion catheter of the Penumbra system, the 5MAX ACE was used in 15 cases, and the 5MAX was used in 2 cases. As a compliant balloon catheter, the Scepter C was used in 16 cases, and the TransForm C was used in 1 case. The technique was successful in 16 cases (94.1%). No parent artery dissections were noted in any cases. Catheter-induced vasospasm was noted in 1 case, but the vasospasm was transient.

CONCLUSIONS
A coaxial system with a compliant balloon catheter can help safely and easily to navigate the large-bore reperfusion catheter of the Penumbra system to an embolus in patients with tortuous arteries.
THE SECRET LIVES OF CEPHEIDS: EVOLUTION, MASS-LOSS, AND ULTRAVIOLET EMISSION OF THE LONG-PERIOD CLASSICAL CEPHEID*

Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT
The classical Cepheid l Carinae is an essential calibrator of the Cepheid Leavitt Law as a rare long-period Galactic Cepheid. Understanding the properties of this star will also constrain the physics and evolution of massive (M ≥ 8 M
⊙) Cepheids. The challenge, however, is precisely measuring the star's pulsation period and its rate of period change. The former is important for calibrating the Leavitt Law and the latter for stellar evolution modeling. In this work, we combine previous time-series observations spanning more than a century with new observations to remeasure the pulsation period and compute the rate of period change. We compare our new rate of period change with stellar evolution models to measure the properties of l Car, but find models and observations are, at best, marginally consistent. The results imply that l Car does not have significantly enhanced mass-loss rates like that measured for δ Cephei. We find that the mass of l Car is about 8–10 M
⊙. We present Hubble Space Telescope Cosmic Origins Spectrograph observations that also differ from measurements for δ Cep and β Dor. These measurements further add to the challenge of understanding the physics of Cepheids, but do hint at the possible relation between enhanced mass-loss and ultraviolet emission, perhaps both due to the strength of shocks propagating in the atmospheres of Cepheids.
BAYESIAN ANALYSIS OF COSMIC RAY PROPAGATION: EVIDENCE AGAINST HOMOGENEOUS DIFFUSION

ABSTRACT
We present the results of the most complete scan of the parameter space for cosmic ray (CR) injection and propagation. We perform a Bayesian search of the main GALPROP parameters, using the MultiNest nested sampling algorithm, augmented by the BAMBI neural network machine-learning package. This is the first study to separate out low-mass isotopes (p,

, and He) from the usual light elements (Be, B, C, N, and O). We find that the propagation parameters that best-fit

, and He data are significantly different from those that fit light elements, including the B/C and 10Be/9Be secondary-to-primary ratios normally used to calibrate propagation parameters. This suggests that each set of species is probing a very different interstellar medium, and that the standard approach of calibrating propagation parameters using B/C can lead to incorrect results. We present posterior distributions and best-fit parameters for propagation of both sets of nuclei, as well as for the injection abundances of elements from H to Si. The input GALDEF files with these new parameters will be included in an upcoming public GALPROP update.
CHEMICAL ABUNDANCES IN NGC 5024 (M53): A MOSTLY FIRST GENERATION GLOBULAR CLUSTER
Authors: Boberg Owen M. , Friel Eileen D. , Vesperini Enrico 
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT
We present the Fe, Ca, Ti, Ni, Ba, Na, and O abundances for a sample of 53 red giant branch stars in the globular cluster (GC) NGC 5024 (M53). The abundances were measured from high signal-to-noise medium resolution spectra collected with the Hydra multi-object spectrograph on the Wisconsin–Indiana–Yale–NOAO 3.5 m telescope. M53 is of interest because previous studies based on the morphology of the cluster’s horizontal branch suggested that it might be composed primarily of first generation (FG) stars and differ from the majority of other GCs with multiple populations, which have been found to be dominated by the second generation (SG) stars. Our sample has an average [Fe/H] = −2.07 with a standard deviation of 0.07 dex. This value is consistent with previously published results. The alpha-element abundances in our sample are also consistent with the trends seen in Milky Way halo stars at similar metallicities, with enhanced [Ca/Fe] and [Ti/Fe] relative to solar. We find that the Na–O anti-correlation in M53 is not as extended as other GCs with similar masses and metallicities. The ratio of SG to the total number of stars in our sample is approximately 0.27 and the SG generation is more centrally concentrated. These findings further support that M53 might be a mostly FG cluster and could give further insight into how GCs formed the light element abundance patterns we observe in them today.
OPTICAL ABSORPTIONS OF OXYGENATED CARBON CHAIN CATIONS IN THE GAS PHASE
Authors: Hardy F.-X. , Rice C. A. , Chakraborty A. , Fulara J. , Maier J. P. 
Published: June 2016

ABSTRACT
The gas-phase electronic spectra of linear OC4O+ and a planar C6H2O+ isomer were obtained at a rotational temperature of ≈10 K. Absorption measurements in a 6 K neon matrix were followed by gas-phase observations in a cryogenic radiofrequency ion trap. The origin bands of the

transition of OC4O+ and the

A

B1 of HCCC(CO)CCH+ lie at 417.31 ± 0.01 nm and 523.49 ± 0.01 nm, respectively. These constitute the first electronic spectra of oxygenated carbon chain cations studied under conditions that are relevant to the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), as both have a visible transition. The recent analysis of the 579.5 nm DIB indicates that small carriers, five to seven heavy atoms, continue to be possible candidates (Huang & Oka 2015). Astronomical implications are discussed regarding this kind of oxygenated molecules.

La « ligne brisée » : ontologie relationnelle, réalisme social et imagination morale
Authors: Kaufmann Laurence 
Published: June 2016

Dans une première étape, cet article présente les principales déclinaisons descriptives d’une ontologie qui place la relation « au commencement » du sujet et de la société. Sous cet angle descriptif, la normativité ne se présente jamais de façon désincarnée ; elle est encapsulée dans des activités pratiques et des relations d’échange qui entremêlent orientations morales et affiliations sociales. Dans une deuxième étape, cet article vise à montrer que, du point de vue normatif, le réalisme social ordinaire qui mêle ainsi savoir-faire social et devoir-faire moral doit être suspendu. Les critères restreints et sélectifs des appartenances et des positionnements sociaux doivent être mis de côté pour qu’une véritable posture morale, ainsi que l’acte d’imagination qui lui est corrélatif, puissent s’épanouir.
Qu’y a-t-il de relationnel dans le social ? Vincent Descombes et les leçons du don
Authors: Callegaro Francesco 
Published: June 2016

Cet article entend développer une thèse fort répandue en sociologie et en anthropologie : le social est constitué de relations. Prenant appui sur les travaux philosophiques de Vincent Descombes, il élabore progressivement une série de distinctions conceptuelles permettant de préciser ce qu’il y a de spécifiquement relationnel dans le social : relations externes et internes, mentales et réelles, dyadiques et triadiques, causales et normatives, symétriques et asymétriques. Revenant à l’ Essai sur le don de Marcel Mauss, saisi dans son irréductibilité à la lecture influente proposée par Claude Lévi-Strauss, cet article vise surtout à expliquer ses principales leçons philosophiques. Dans les pratiques de don, il s’agit d’honorer l’exigence de justice qui est au fondement de toutes les relations sociales.
Au début était la relation ? Convenientia et aptum chez Augustin d’Hippone
Authors: Marianelli Massimiliano 
Published: June 2016

Relation est d’une certaine manière ce qui qualifie chaque possible « être ici » de l’homme et ce thème de la relation est le thème central de la réflexion philosophique dès ses débuts. Dans la philosophie chrétienne, est central le problème de considérer le rapport à un début, un Dieu, qui est Créateur et se place dans une relation active avec l’homme. Le renvoi à Augustin est central car il réélabore en quelque sorte le concept même de « relation » en proposant un profond remaniement à la lumière de la Révélation Chrétienne, en en retraçant immédiatement le principe de l’Âme qui, qualifiée comme Imago Dei , est le centre d’une ontologie relationnelle. Dans cet article, nous revenons sur la notion de convenientia pour réfléchir à nouveau sur une façon précise de penser la relation, qui a subi de profonds changements dans l’histoire de la pensée.

Published: June 2016

Dans la majorité des sports, les athlètes de haut niveau se retrouvent fréquemment en situation de devoir prendre des décisions qui mettent en jeu leur parcours. L’une d’elles concerne le choix d’intégrer ou non un pôle d’entraînement (Espoir ou France). Cette entrée constitue une transition forte aux multiples implications auxquelles l’athlète devra s’adapter. La question est alors de savoir quels sont les éléments susceptibles d’influer sur la décision de l’athlète. L’étude menée repose sur un modèle prenant en compte quatre facteurs susceptibles de peser sur la décision ( i.e. , modèle Push Pull Anti-push Anti-pull ; Schultz, Morton, &Wercherle, 1998) : (1) des éléments d’attraction ( i.e. , les intérêts qu’offre la situation nouvelle), (2) des éléments d’incitation ( i.e. , éléments du contexte actuel qui poussent à aller vers autre chose), (3) des éléments d’attachement ( i.e. , ce que l’on va perdre dans le changement) et (4) des éléments dissuasifs ( i.e. , les coûts et les risques que l’on appréhende dans la situation nouvelle). Un total de 31 entretiens semi-directifs ont été conduits. Nous nous sommes pour cela focalisées sur l’entrée dans la pratique sportive et les processus favorables ou défavorables ayant une influence sur le choix d’intégrer un pôle. Ainsi, nous avons pu constater que les principaux facteurs interagissaient dans le processus décisionnel.

Cette étude compare les différences concernant les caractéristiques psychosociales et les attitudes alimentaires entre des jeunes patineurs artistiques français et canadiens. Un total de 221 patineurs artistiques d’élite, 101 Canadiens et 120 Français, ont participé à l’étude. Les attitudes alimentaires désordonnées et six variables psychosociales incluant la qualité de l’amitié en sport, la qualité de la relation avec l’entraîneur, la qualité de la relation avec les parents, l’acceptation sociale des pairs perçue, l’habileté physique et l’apparence physique perçues ont été mesurées à l’aide de questionnaires. Les patineurs canadiens ont montré une qualité de relation sociale avec l’ami en sport, les parents et l’entraîneur plus élevée, une perception de l’habileté et de l’apparence physique plus élevée et un plus haut niveau de désordres alimentaires comparativement aux participants français ; cependant, les Français ont reporté des scores d’acceptation sociale des pairs plus élevés. Dans les deux groupes, une relation positive et significative a été observée entre : la qualité de la relation avec l’entraîneur et la qualité de la relation avec l’ami en sport, la qualité de la relation avec les parents et l’habilité ou l’apparence physique perçue, l’acceptation sociale des pairs et l’habilité physique perçue. L’habilité physique perçue était négativement reliée aux attitudes alimentaires désordonnées dans le groupe canadien mais positivement associée dans le groupe français. En conclusion, un cercle vicieux entre la relation entraîneur-athlète, l’habileté physique perçue et les désordres alimentaires a été observé auprès des patineurs d’élite français comparés aux patineurs canadiens suggérant des différences culturelles entre les deux pays.

De nombreuses recherches se sont intéressées aux variables liées à l’adhésion des personnes vieillissantes envers l’activité physique. L’objectif de cette étude était de recenser les différents programmes de promotion de l’activité physique chez les personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus, afin de savoir si, et de quelle façon, les barrières affectives associées à l’idée de pratiquer une activité physique avaient été considérées dans la construction de ce type d’interventions. Les critères d’inclusion/exclusion ont permis de retenir huit des 1 195 citations soulignant principalement l’influence interpersonnelle comme variable incontournable de la réussite des programmes de promotion de l’activité physique, et suggérant une considération partielle de la dimension affective dans la lutte contre la sédentarité. Ensemble, ces résultats mettent en avant les intérêts scientifiques et appliqués d’une élaboration théorique de programmes de promotion basés sur la régulation émotionnelle interpersonnelle des personnes âgées.
Spotted fever group rickettsia in ticks infesting humans, wild and domesticated animals of Sri Lanka: one health approach
Authors: Liyanaarachchi D. R. , Rajakaruna R. S. , Rajapakse R. P. V. J. 
Published: June 2016

Spotted fever group rickettsial infections are considered an emerging infectious disease in Sri Lanka. The present study examined the potential role of tick vectors carrying the infection from sylvatic reservoirs to humans via domesticated animals. Ticks infesting humans, dogs and wild animals were collected island-wide and were identified. Presence of spotted fever group rickettsia in the tick blood meal was determined using PCR in a sub-sample of ticks collected. A total of 30,933 ticks were collected from 30 different hosts and free living stages from the ground. The collection consisted of 25 tick species recording 12 species from humans, 19 from domesticated animals and 22 from wild animals. Of the total collection randomly selected a sub-sample of 80 ticks were used to identify rickettsia pathogens. This comprised of fifty ticks from 50 wild animals belonged to 15 species (wild boar, pangolin, porcupine, barking deer, star tortoise, mouse deer, samber, spotted deer, monkey, civet cat, bandicoot, elephant, fishing cat, rabbit, flying squirrel; and 20 ticks from 15 dogs especially from areas where spotted fever cases were reported and 10 ticks from 10 humans. Results showed that rickettsial infections were found in four tick species, Amblyomma testudinarium collected from a wild boar, Riphicephalus sanguineus from a dog, Amblyomma clypeolatum from a star tortoise and Amblyomma javanense from a pangolin. Except for A. javanense, other three tick species are generalists infesting humans as well as domestic and wild animals. There is a high potential that these infections can spread easily to humans via the domesticated animals. This is the first report of ticks infesting domesticated and wild animals carrying spotted fever rikettsia and it underscores the possibility of spread of infection from wild reservoirs to human in the animal/human health interface.

Abstract

Representation and Sensibility. The Rancière-Lyotard Debate on Art

If representation means making something present again, what is its relationship to sensibility, especially in art? Could the work of art represent our sensory inputs, or does such representation always fall short of the adequate re-presentation of the sensory? The debate on representation and sensibility has been reopened within a new framework with Rancière’s distinction between three historical regimes of art. This article sets out by casting doubt on Rancière’s assumption that representation could be reduced to one of these three regimes. Secondly, discussion turns to Rancière’s criticism of Lyotard’s notion of unrepresentability, particularly with regard to ‘Auschwitz’. Thirdly, the question is put why these two authors have such different readings of Kant’s aesthetics: Rancière’s choice for beauty is actually a choice for representation, whereas to Lyotard, the unrepresentable sublime creates the space for the event in our sensibility. Finally, it is shown that Rancière, though acknowledging a tension between ‘spirit’ and ‘letter’, ignores the meaning of avant-garde art, whereas Lyotard distrusts realistic, representative art.
