Updated MISR dark water research aerosol retrieval algorithm – Part 1: Coupled 1.1 km ocean surface chlorophyll a retrievals with empirical calibration corrections
Authors: Limbacher James A. , Kahn Ralph A. 
Published: April 2017

Abstract. As aerosol amount and type are key factors in the atmospheric correction required for remote-sensing chlorophyll a concentration (Chl) retrievals, the Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) can contribute to ocean color analysis despite a lack of spectral channels optimized for this application. Conversely, an improved ocean surface constraint should also improve MISR aerosol-type products, especially spectral single-scattering albedo (SSA) retrievals. We introduce a coupled, self-consistent retrieval of Chl together with aerosol over dark water. There are time-varying MISR radiometric calibration errors that significantly affect key spectral reflectance ratios used in the retrievals. Therefore, we also develop and apply new calibration corrections to the MISR top-of-atmosphere (TOA) reflectance data, based on comparisons with coincident MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) observations and trend analysis of the MISR TOA bidirectional reflectance factors (BRFs) over three pseudo-invariant desert sites. We run the MISR research retrieval algorithm (RA) with the corrected MISR reflectances to generate MISR-retrieved Chl and compare the MISR Chl values to a set of 49 coincident SeaBASS (SeaWiFS Bio-optical Archive and Storage System) in situ observations. Where Chlin situ < 1.5 mg m−3, the results from our Chl model are expected to be of highest quality, due to algorithmic assumption validity. Comparing MISR RA Chl to the 49 coincident SeaBASS observations, we report a correlation coefficient (r) of 0.86, a root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 0.25, and a median absolute error (MAE) of 0.10. Statistically, a two-sample Kolmogorov–Smirnov test indicates that it is not possible to distinguish between MISR Chl and available SeaBASS in situ Chl values (p > 0.1). We also compare MODIS–Terra and MISR RA Chl statistically, over much broader regions. With about 1.5 million MISR–MODIS collocations having MODIS Chl < 1.5 mg m−3, MISR and MODIS show very good agreement: r = 0. 96, MAE  =  0.09, and RMSE  =  0.15. The new dark water aerosol/Chl RA can retrieve Chl in low-Chl, case I waters, independent of other imagers such as MODIS, via a largely physical algorithm, compared to the commonly applied statistical ones. At a minimum, MISR's multi-angle data should help reduce uncertainties in the MODIS–Terra ocean color retrieval where coincident measurements are made, while also allowing for a more robust retrieval of particle properties such as spectral single-scattering albedo.
The Return: Intertextuality of the Reminiscing of Karelian Evacuees in Finland
Authors: Savolainen Ulla 
Published: April 2017

Abstract
In this article, I examine the intertextuality of reminiscence writings of Karelian evacuees in Finland. The main topics of these writings are the two journeys of evacuation from the ceded Karelia to Finland, which writers experienced as children during and after the Second World War, and journeys back to the region of their childhood, which became possible after the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the case of negotiations surrounding spatiotemporal distance and the creation of bridges between the past and the present, I argue that intertextuality plays a crucial but somewhat underanalyzed role in reminiscing.
Animal Mistreatment in Business: Ethical Challenges and Solutions
Authors: Wang Yuanfang , Chan Peng 
Published: April 2017

Animal mistreatment in businesses around the world is becoming a hotly debated topic. Many animal welfare laws protect wild animals and pets, but make exemptions for animals in farms, zoos or labs. There are economic benefits behind animal mistreatment since businesses can maximize profits by, for example, raising animals in crowded spaces, or forcing them to perform shows. However, ethical arguments on this issue reveal that animal mistreatment may actually cost more than humane animal treatment. Furthermore, consumer awareness on animal mistreatments is increasing, so this poses both a threat and opportunity to businesses. As society puts more and more value on sustainable green business today, inhumane animal treatments may harm a company's reputation and reduce its sales. Businesses should be aware of this trend and examine new humane alternatives to their traditional practices in order to stay competitive in the market.

Abstract
Introduction Obesity is a factor that is strongly related to the occurrence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in adults, although this association remains controversial for children.
Objective The aim of this study was to compare the clinical and upper airway charactheristics, obtained by questionnaires, physical examination and laboratory tests, among obese children with and without OSA.
Method This was aprospective cohort study. 44 obese children (body mass index above the 95th percentile) were included in the study. Questionnaires, physical examination of the upper airway, nasofibrolaryngoscopy, polysomnography, and laboratory allergic tests were performed.
Results There were 22 male patients (50%), and the mean age was 7.6±2.5 years. OSA was present in 19 (43%) patients. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups with and without OSA, in relation to clinical or laboratory allergic parameters. For the upper airway assessments, hypertrophy of the pharyngeal (p=0.001) and palatine (p=0.049) tonsils were the only parameters associated with OSA, and a modified Mallampati index of class III/IV also demonstrated a tendency towards being statistically associated with OSA (p=0.081). Moreover, these findings were confirmed to be factors associated with OSA in this group of children according to a logistic regression analysis.
Conclusions The occurrence rate of OSA in this obese pediatric population was high. Adenotonsillar hypertrophy and a modified Mallampati index of class III/IV were the factors associated with OSA.

AbstractThe pineal hormone Melatonin plays an important role in the regulation of the circadian sleep/wake cycle, mood, and perhaps immune functions, carcinogensis and reproduction. The human circadian rhythm of melatonin release from the pineal gland is tightly synchronized with the habitual hours of sleep. Peri- and postmenopausal women often complain of difficulties initiating and/or maintaining sleep, with frequent nocturnal and early morning awakenings. In this review we discuss the pathophysiology of melatonin function as it relates to sleep disorders in menopausal women, highlighting the potential use of exogenous melatonin during the menopausal transition and beyond.

Published: April 2017

Abstract
Introduction Patients that started on Non-Invasive Ventilation (NIV) need to define several parameters selected on the basis of diurnal arterial blood gas and underlying disease. We hypothesize that respiratory polygraphy (RP) could be useful to monitor NIV. This retrospective work describes RP findings and their impact on the setting of continuous flow ventilators from patients on NIV of Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
Material and Methods Patient's data on NIV from at the ICU of Hospital Británico were included in this study. RP recordings were performed in all of them. Respiratory events, such as ventilatory pattern changes, impact on oximetry or tidal volume, were observed to modify the ventilatory mode after RP.
Results The RP findings have contributes to change the ventilatory mode for one third of the patients. The mean values of expiratory positive airway pressure (EPAP) and inspiratory positive airway pressure (IPAP) were not significantly different across all the population before or after RP: 8.7±0.3 vs. 8.6±0.4; p<0.88 and 18.6±0.6 vs. 17.7±0.7; p<0.26 respectively, however, half the patients presented > 2 cmH2O pressure value changes after RP.
Conclusions RP recordings could contribute to broad range of data useful to make decisions about changes in programming and allowed to identify adverse events related to positive pressure.
Les risques sanitaires liés aux jardins collectifs : l’expertise sur le sol urbain en débat
Authors: Rémy Elisabeth , Branchu Philippe , Canavese Marine , Berthier Nathalie 
Published: April 2017

On assiste aujourd’hui à un véritable paradoxe : les jardins collectifs urbains se développent en ville alors que les sols urbains sont peu connus. La localisation de ces jardins suscite des interrogations en termes de risques sanitaires puisque nombre d’entre eux ont été (et sont encore) implantés sur des délaissés urbains. Des controverses apparaissent sur la capacité du sol urbain à accueillir ou non des cultures à vocation alimentaire, ce que nous analysons à travers deux documents d’expertise. Nous mettrons ces deux guides techniques à l’épreuve de la notion de « science impliquée » pour expliciter d’abord les intentions et les valeurs qui constituent la démarche d’expertise ; il s’agit ensuite de comprendre ce qui distingue ces différentes formes d’expertise sur la question des cultures en ville à savoir : le rapport à la connaissance et à l’incertitude, le rapport au temps, le rapport au public et aux choix de sociétés.
Salubrité et santé dans l’action collective en matière de logement à Montréal
Authors: Goyer Renaud 
Published: April 2017

Le logement est une question de santé publique. Depuis plusieurs années déjà, les acteurs institutionnels reconnaissent son importance pour la santé des individus et leur famille. En effet, à partir de la notion de « déterminants sociaux de la santé », des recherches ont établi l’importance de bonnes conditions de logement pour assurer la santé des individus. Elles ont également fourni aux acteurs collectifs actifs dans le domaine du logement de nouveaux arguments dans leur lutte contre le mal-logement. En utilisant la notion de l’identité collective (Melucci, 1996), notre objectif dans ce texte sera d’analyser comment la question de la santé construit, en partie, l’action collective d’un comité logement de Montréal, le Comité logement Saint-Laurent.

Sur la base d’une recherche cartographique effectuée auprès de l’antenne de Rio de Janeiro du mouvementantimanicomialbrésilien, l’article analyse la mobilisation contre une politique municipale « néo-hygiéniste » : l’internement forcé de masse de personnes en situation d’itinérance sous prétexte de l’usage de substances psychoactives illicites, notamment du crack. Tout en situant le contexte récent de la politique de santé mentale dans son interface avec la « question des drogues » au Brésil, l’article cartographie les débats et perspectives militantes ainsi que de multiples affirmations présentes dans la contestation d’un dispositif étatique d’invisibilisation des marges sociales de l’espace urbain contemporain.
Dialogue qualitatif et quantitatif en théorisation enracinée pour étudier la créativité d’agences de publicité en région
Authors: Baillargeon Dany 
Published: April 2017

La théorisation enracinée est reconnue pour appréhender avec profondeur les phénomènes, laissant « parler le terrain » dans la production d’une théorie des actions et processus. Cette proposition montre la façon don la méthodologie de la théorisation enracinée (MTE) a été utilisée pour comprendre la culture créative de petites agences de publicité en région. Nous démontrons que le caractère itératif et l’ouverture aux phénomènes émergents propres à la MTE ont « engendré » une méthodologie mixte, comprenant entrevues, observations non participantes, collectes de documents et un questionnaire qui a considérablement enrichi notre compréhension de cette culture créative. En illustrant la mise en place de notre stratégie, nous présentons une façon de conduire une méthode mixte en contexte de MTE en plus d’offrir un regard sur le dialogisme entre les méthodes, dont une approche quantitative, et sur l’importance d’un solide cadrage conceptuel en amont de l’analyse pour faciliter la théorisation des processus à l’étude.
Stratégies de recherche par le projet enraciné induites par une architecture symptomatique
Authors: Pouleur Jean-Alexandre , Vanzande Ornella 
Published: April 2017

À partir d’un cas particulier et caractéristique d’architecture, celui d’un hôpital, le potentiel d’une démarche de « recherche par le projet » est exploré. Ce cas est symptomatique du manque d’écoute des attentes du patient pour l’adaptation du projet architectural à ses besoins, notamment en ce qui a trait à l’organisation spatiale. Les hôpitaux analysés ont des formes génériques froides, hygiéniques et aseptisées qui ne rassurent pas le patient vivant un moment de malaise et souvent d’inquiétude. Ces formes spatiales sont généralement déduites de normes complexes et multiples. Ici, le parti est exactement inverse, la conception est directement induite par l’observation de l’architecture et l’écoute des usagers. De nouvelles stratégies de « recherche par le projet enraciné » en sont tirées. Ces stratégies émergent à partir de principes apparentés à la recherche-action et à la méthodologie de la théorisation enracinée.
L’induction pour mieux comprendre le processus de réadaptation chez des individus ayant subi un traumatisme

Published: April 2017

La recherche qualitative et inductive est peu utilisée dans le domaine de la santé. Pourtant, ce type d’approche permet de saisir la complexité des interventions menées, notamment de réadaptation, en se focalisant sur la réalité des usagers des services et des intervenants. C’est pourquoi cette méthode a été privilégiée lorsque nous avons voulu comprendre l’impact d’une intervention inductive novatrice, le Fil d’Ariane, sur le processus de réadaptation d’individus ayant subi un traumatisme. L’objectif de cette étude est ainsi double : 1) démontrer les apports de la recherche inductive pour mieux comprendre l’impact des interventions en réadaptation; 2) mieux comprendre les effets d’une intervention inductive novatrice, le Fil d’Ariane. Pour ce faire, des entretiens semi-dirigés avec des usagers et des intervenants ont été réalisés. Ces entrevues révèlent, entre autres, l’importance de l’accompagnement de l’usager par l’intervenant, d’un engagement profond et authentique de l’usager envers le Fil d’Ariane, de même que d’un suivi personnalisé pour l’usager. D’un autre côté, l’intervention exige des intervenants un haut niveau d’engagement, un temps de rédaction important ainsi que des qualités d’écoute et d’empathie.
From velocity and attenuation tomography to rock physical modeling: Inferences on fluid‐driven earthquake processes at the Irpinia fault system in southern Italy

Published: April 2017

AbstractWe retrieve 3‐D attenuation images of the crustal volume embedding the fault system associated with the destructive Ms 6.9, 1980 Irpinia earthquake by tomographic inversion of t* measurements. A high QP anomaly is found to be correlated with the 1980 fault geometry, while the QS model shows regional‐scale variations related to the NE edge of the uplifted pre‐Tertiary limestone. An upscaling strategy is used to infer rock properties such as porosity, consolidation, type of fluid mixing, and relative saturation percentage at 8–10 km fault depth. We constrain the porosity and consolidation in the ranges 4–5% and 5–9, respectively, with the possible fluid mixes being both brine‐CO2 and CH4‐CO2. The consolidation parameter range indicates high pore pressures at the same depths. These results support the evidence for a fracture system, highly saturated in gases and a seismicity triggering mechanism at the fault zone, which is strongly controlled by fluid‐induced pore pressure changes.
Benefits and pitfalls of GRACE data assimilation: A case study of terrestrial water storage depletion in India

AbstractThis study investigates some of the benefits and drawbacks of assimilating terrestrial water storage (TWS) observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) into a land surface model over India. GRACE observes TWS depletion associated with anthropogenic groundwater extraction in northwest India. The model, however, does not represent anthropogenic groundwater withdrawals and is not skillful in reproducing the interannual variability of groundwater. Assimilation of GRACE TWS introduces long‐term trends and improves the interannual variability in groundwater. But the assimilation also introduces a negative trend in simulated evapotranspiration, whereas in reality evapotranspiration is likely enhanced by irrigation, which is also unmodeled. Moreover, in situ measurements of shallow groundwater show no trend, suggesting that the trends are erroneously introduced by the assimilation into the modeled shallow groundwater, when in reality the groundwater is depleted in deeper aquifers. The results emphasize the importance of representing anthropogenic processes in land surface modeling and data assimilation systems.

AbstractIntroduction4DCT‐ventilation is an exciting new imaging modality that uses 4DCT data to calculate lung‐function maps. Because 4DCTs are acquired as standard of care for lung cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy, 4DCT‐ventiltation provides functional information at no extra dosimetric or monetary cost to the patient. The development of clinical trials is underway to use 4DCT‐ventilation imaging to spare functional lung in patients undergoing radiotherapy. The purpose of this work was to perform a virtual trial using retrospective data to develop the practical aspects of a 4DCT‐ventilation functional avoidance clinical trial.MethodsThe study included 96 stage III lung cancer patients. A 4DCT‐ventilation map was calculated using the patient's 4DCT‐imaging, deformable registration, and a density‐change‐based algorithm. Clinical trial inclusion assessment used quantitative and qualitative metrics based on the patient's spatial ventilation profile. Clinical and functional plans were generated for 25 patients. The functional plan aimed to reduce dose to functional lung while meeting standard target and critical structure constraints. Standard and dose‐function metrics were compared between the clinical and functional plans.ResultsOur data showed that 69% and 59% of stage III patients have regional variability in function based on qualitative and quantitative metrics, respectively. Functional planning demonstrated an average reduction of 2.8 Gy (maximum 8.2 Gy) in the mean dose to functional lung.ConclusionsOur work demonstrated that 60–70% of stage III patients would be eligible for functional planning and that a typical functional lung mean dose reduction of 2.8 Gy can be expected relative to standard clinical plans. These findings provide salient data for the development of functional clinical trials.

ObjectiveTo explore changes in the phenotypic features of Sjögren's syndrome (SS), and in SS status among participants in the Sjögren's International Collaborative Clinical Alliance (SICCA) registry over a 2–3‐year interval.MethodsAll participants in the SICCA registry who were found to have any objective measures of salivary hypofunction, dry eye, focal lymphocytic sialadenitis in minor salivary gland biopsy, or anti‐SSA/SSB antibodies were recalled over a window of 2 to 3 years after their baseline examinations to repeat all clinical examinations and specimen collections to determine whether there was any change in phenotypic features and in SS status.ResultsAs of September 15, 2013, a total of 3,514 participants had enrolled in SICCA, and among 3,310 eligible, 771 presented for a followup visit. Among participants found to have SS using the 2012 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria, 93% again met the criteria after 2 to 3 years, and this proportion was 89% when using the 2016 ACR/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) criteria. Among those who did not meet ACR or ACR/EULAR criteria at baseline, 9% and 8%, respectively, had progressed and met them at followup. Those with hypergammaglobulinemia and hypocomplementemia at study entry were, respectively, 4 and 6 times more likely to progress to SS by ACR criteria than those without these characteristics (95% confidence interval 1.5–10.1 and 1.8–20.4, respectively).ConclusionWhile there was stability over a 2–3‐year period of both individual phenotypic features of SS and of SS status, hypergammaglobulinemia and hypocomplementemia at study entry were predictive of progression to SS.
