Published: October 2016

On the northern coast of Sumatra, the tsunami of December 26th 2004 destroyed all till 3 to 5 kilometers from the coast. The province of Aceh and the town of Banda Aceh concentrated the major part of the 226 000 victims of the tsunami listed in Southeast Asia. Thousands of people left without shelter… The following recovery phase reached an unknown dimension : huge international financial help, Medias, numerous local, regional, national and international actors…This article proposes a first evaluation of the process of rebuilding in Banda Aceh. This research helped with field recognition in January and February 2006. It allowed setting up a database on rebuilding process in three communities in the western part of Banda Aceh urban district. Authors also led an investigation near populations of the towns of Banda Aceh and Meulaboh to mitigate many uncertainties and inaccuracies surrounding the official statistics. This assessment addresses four issues. First, we sought to highlight the territorial patterns of reconstruction at the local scale. The mapping of rebuilding process at a fine scale shows that the main factor for an efficient reconstruction of house is the dynamism of local communities. The maps show that rebuilding focuse preferentially in the surroundings of existing villages (called “desa” in Sumatra) before expanding towards village borders or main roads. The second assessment issue, directly related to the previous one, deals with the land question. Land-registering is a preliminary question to solve before that authorities and NGO be able to implement reconstruction. The two last questions deal with the involvement of risk prevention in the process of rebuilding and the inadequacy of the official programs to fulfil the needs for the populations.
La révolution batave entre la France et l'Amérique
Authors: Jourdan Annie 
Published: October 2016

La révolution batave entre la France et l’Amérique est un essai d’histoire transnationale, attentif aux échanges entre trois pays en révolution. L’approche a pour avantage de renouveler l’interprétation d’un moment clé de l’histoire de France, mais aussi de faire mieux connaître deux événements majeurs et pourtant méconnus, qui bouleversent au même moment l’Amérique du Nord (1776-1801) et les Provinces-Unies (1781-1801).
Ce faisant, l’auteur étudie l’entrée de ces pays dans la modernité et plus précisément dans l’ère de la Nation. Car les révolutions d’Amérique, de France et de Hollande ont toutes trois voulu explicitement reconstruire leur nation respective et, bien que conscientes de leurs divergences réciproques, ont adopté des instruments et stratégies similaires. Politique, droit et éducation ont été au centre de leurs préoccupations. Politique parce qu’il s’agit de reconstituer un ordre fondé sur les droits universels de l’homme et sur une constitution écrite. Vient ensuite le remodelage du droit privé et du droit pénal, nécessaire à une société civilisée et égalitaire. Suivent enfin les institutions civiles, dont l’éducation, perçue comme inséparable de la formation de citoyens vertueux et républicains. L’espace public lui-même se nationalise et commémore l’ordre nouveau et ceux qui l’ont établi. Sur ces trois grands thèmes, le comparatisme s’avère d’un grand apport, que ce soit pour relever les dissemblances au sein même des ressemblances ; distinguer ce qui sépare un pays centralisé d’une fédération ; une monarchie absolue d’une république oligarchique; une nation isolée sur un continent neuf d’une vieille nation européenne, ou bien pour remesurer l’impact de la Révolution française et lui rendre sa juste place.
Durant plus de vingt ans, ces trois pays n’ont cessé de se regarder, de se comparer, de se critiquer, et donc de dialoguer. Ce qu’il en est résulté diffère fortement de ce qu’une historiographie nationale, souvent nationaliste, nous a inculqué. L’attention portée aux transferts politiques et culturels permet de revisiter la passionnante histoire des révolutions du xviiie siècle, inscrites dans le contexte commun des Lumières, mais marquées par des cultures et structures beaucoup plus anciennes. Les résultats sont étonnants, et d’autant plus que la mise en perspective soulève des questionnements inattendus, suscitant des réponses en conséquence.

De rol van het Europees Parlement in de EU-procedure voor het sluiten van internationale overeenkomsten
Sinds de inwerkingtreding van het Verdrag van Lissabon wordt het Hof van Justitie zeer regelmatig verzocht de in artikel 218 VWEU verankerde procedure voor het sluiten namens de EU van internationale overeenkomsten met derde staten of andere internationale organisaties te verduidelijken. In de in deze bijdrage te bespreken twee arresten doet het Hof van Justitie dat wat betreft twee aspecten van de procedure. Het eerste betreft de bevoegdheden van het Parlement bij het sluiten van (GBVB-)overeenkomsten, het tweede de omvang van de plicht van de Raad het Parlement in iedere fase van de procedure onverwijld en ten volle te informeren.HvJ 14 juni 2016, zaak C-263/14, Parlement/Raad (Tanzania), ECLI:EU:C:2016:435HvJ 24 juni 2014, zaak C-658/11, Parlement/Raad (Mauritius), ECLI:EU:C:2014:2025
Two-color surface-emitting lasers using a semiconductor coupled multilayer cavity
Authors: Kitada Takahiro , Ota Hiroto , Lu Xiangmeng , Kumagai Naoto , Isu Toshiro 
Published: October 2016

Abstract
Two-color surface-emitting lasers were demonstrated, employing a GaAs/AlGaAs coupled multilayer cavity composed of two cavity layers and three distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) multilayers. InGaAs multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with two different well widths were introduced only in the upper cavity, and sandwiched between p- and n-type DBRs. This current-injection type device exhibited two-color lasing in the near-infrared region under room temperature pulsed conditions. Two-color lasing was achieved when the lower cavity had an optimal thickness relative to the upper cavity thickness and the MQW emission properties.

Abstract
We report on the generation of higher-order stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) in a saturated aqueous solution of MgSO4, pumped by a 532 nm frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser operating with multiple longitudinal modes. The first- (∼561.4 nm), second- (∼594 nm), and third-order (∼630 nm) Stokes components of SRS were observed, and were attributed to the symmetric vibrations of the [SO4] tetrahedral structural groups. Two possible physical mechanisms for generating higher-order SRS were analyzed. The results point to an efficient method for generating new laser wavelengths from a liquid blended media system through a higher-order nonlinear SRS process.

Published: October 2016

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to determine the association between functionality as assessed by the 6‐minute walking test (6MWT), maximal voluntary contraction of the quadriceps (MVCQ), and quadriceps thickness and echo intensity as measured by sonography, in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).MethodsMaximal voluntary contraction of the quadriceps and the thickness and echo intensity of the rectus femoris and vastus intermedius were evaluated in 20 patients with COPD. Functionality was assessed by the 6MWT. Differences between the evaluated muscles were determined by the Student t test. Pearson and Spearman rank correlation coefficients were used to analyze relationships between variables of interest, according to data characteristics. Finally, multivariate regression models were applied.ResultsThere was a positive correlation between MVCQ and rectus femoris and vastus intermedius thickness (r = 0.427; P = .030; r = 0.469; P= .018, respectively) and a negative correlation between MVCQ and rectus femoris and vastus intermedius echo intensity (r= −0.500; P= .012; r= −0.482; P= .016). No correlation was found between MVCQ and the 6MWT (r = 0.319; P = .085). Multivariate regression analysis showed that the rectus femoris echo intensity, vastus intermedius echo intensity, and vastus intermedius thickness explained 70% of the variance in the distance walked during the 6MWT.ConclusionsThese results indicate that, in patients with COPD, both quadriceps force and exercise capacity are associated with quantitative (thickness) and qualitative (echo intensity) characteristics of the quadriceps. Consequently, comprehensive assessments of peripheral muscles should simultaneously include both measurements.

Synthesis and novel applications of biofunctional polymers for diagnosis and therapy are promising area involving various research domains. Herein, three fluorescent polymers, poly(p‐phenylene‐co‐thiophene), poly(p‐phenylene), and polythiophene with amino groups (PPT‐NH2, PPP‐NH2, and PT‐NH2, respectively) are synthesized and investigated for cancer cell targeted imaging, drug delivery, and radiotherapy. Polymers are conjugated to anti‐HER2 antibody for targeted imaging studies in nontoxic concentrations. Three cell lines (A549, Vero, and HeLa) with different expression levels of HER2 are used. In a model of HER2 expressing cell line (A549), radiotherapy experiments are carried out and results show that all three polymers increase the efficacy of radiotherapy. This effect is even more increased when conjugated to anti‐HER2. In the second part of this work, one of the selected polymers (PT‐NH2) is conjugated with a drug model; methotrexate via pH responsive hydrazone linkage and a drug carrier property of PT‐NH2 is demonstrated on neuroblastoma (SH‐SY5Y) cell model. Our results indicate that, PPT‐NH2, PPP‐NH2, and PT‐NH2 have a great potential as biomaterials for various bioapplications in cancer research.image
Experimental demonstration of strain detection using resonant tunneling delta‐sigma modulation sensors
Authors: Tajika Takumi , Kakutani Yuichiro , Mori Masayuki , Maezawa Koichi 
Published: October 2016

AbstractA strain sensor was fabricated based on a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) oscillator. This sensor uses strain‐dependent frequency change of the RTD oscillator, and the frequency delta‐sigma modulation technique, which can convert a frequency to a digital signal with wide dynamic range and wide bandwidth. The sensor consists of an oscillator using an LC resonator and an RTD loaded on a beam of the cantilever. The cantilever was fabricated using selective wet etching of the InP substrate. In this sensor, the strain applied to the cantilever changes the current–voltage characteristics of the RTD due to the piezoelectric effect, and hence it changes the oscillation frequency. In this paper, it was demonstrated that the acoustic strain signal can be successfully detected by this sensor with noise shaping behavior, which is a unique nature of the delta‐sigma modulation.
Intellectual Property Rights and Integration by Conflict: The Past, Present and Future
Authors: HUSOVEC Martin 
Published: October 2016

AbstractThis paper analyses how the Court of Justice of the European Union resolves conflicting situations surrounding intellectual property rights (IPR). More specifically, it looks into how it approaches clashes of IPR with other fundamental rights and economic freedoms and with what consequences. Building upon previous literature, I advance the argument that the resolution of the conflict, by means of the proportionality interest-balancing exercise, pursues a pro-harmonisation agenda not only in the obvious context of free movement, but also in the setting of fundamental rights. I show that the recentCoty Germanyruling is likely to accelerate this trend because of its recognition of positive obligations of the Member States in the context of fundamental rights. It is argued that this could also be used by national courts to improve an existing IPR framework, in particular by filing preliminary references that question legislators’ choices such as non-implementation of permissible exceptions and limitations. After highlighting the importance of maintaining a separation between different policy levels (secondary law vs Charter), I outline whyCoty Germanyis a very worrying reading of Article 17(2) of the EU Charter, and suggest that this could be remedied by synchronising its interpretation with the Court’s doctrine of ‘specific subject matter’ in the context of free movement.

BACKGROUNDPatients are frequently discharged with central venous catheters (CVCs) for home infusion therapy.OBJECTIVETo study a prospective cohort of patients receiving home infusion therapy to identify environmental and other risk factors for complications.DESIGNProspective cohort study between March and December 2015.SETTINGHome infusion therapy after discharge from academic medical centers.PARTICIPANTSOf 368 eligible patients discharged from 2 academic hospitals to home with peripherally inserted central catheters and tunneled CVCs, 222 consented. Patients remained in the study until 30 days after CVC removal.METHODSPatients underwent chart abstraction and monthly telephone surveys while the CVC was in place, focusing on complications and environmental exposures. Multivariable analyses estimated adjusted odds ratios and adjusted incident rate ratios between clinical, demographic, and environmental risk factors and 30-day readmissions or CVC complications.RESULTSOf 222 patients, total parenteral nutrition was associated with increased 30-day readmissions (adjusted odds ratio, 4.80 [95% CI, 1.51–15.21) and CVC complications (adjusted odds ratio, 2.41 [95% CI, 1.09–5.33]). Exposure to soil through gardening or yard work was associated with a decreased likelihood of readmissions (adjusted odds ratio, 0.09 [95% CI, 0.01–0.74]). Other environmental exposures were not associated with CVC complications.CONCLUSIONScomplications and readmissions were common and associated with the use of total parenteral nutrition. Common environmental exposures (well water, cooking with raw meat, or pets) did not increase the rate of CVC complications, whereas soil exposures were associated with decreased readmissions. Interventions to decrease home CVC complications should focus on total parenteral nutrition patients.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;1–8

SUMMARYLeptospirosis is the most widespread zoonosis in humans worldwide. In the United States, widespread detection of antibodies to leptospirosis have been identified in feral swine (Sus scrofa) with the highest detection of serovars, Bratislava, Icterohaemorrhagiae, and Pomona. Over the past few years, feral swine populations have expanded their geographical range and distribution in the United States with reports in at least 39 of 50 states. Since feral swine serve as reservoirs for serovars that can infect humans, it is important to understand the risk of transmission. In order to learn more about the probability that feral swine shed infectious leptospires, we collected kidneys and paired serum when possible from 677 feral swine in 124 counties of 29 states. These counties had previously been identified as antibody positive forLeptospira interrogansserovars Bratislava, Canicola, Grippotyphosa, Hardjo, Icterohaemorrhagiae or Pomona. Although exposure to these same six serovars of leptospirosis continued to be high (53% overall) in the counties we sampled, we detected leptospiral DNA in only 3·4% of feral swine kidneys tested. Based on these results, it appears that although feral swine can serve as a source of infection to humans, especially in those who are more likely to encounter them directly such as wildlife biologists, veterinarians, and hunters, the risk may be relatively low. However, further studies to examine the relationship between leptospiral shedding in the urine and kidneys in addition to culturing the organism are recommended in order to better understand the risk associated with feral swine.
Human cysticercosis in Portugal: long gone or still contemporary?

Published: October 2016

SUMMARYCysticercosis, a leading cause of acquired epilepsy in developing countries, has been controlled or eradicated in industrialized countries. This paradigm has recently been challenged, with human neurocysticercosis (NCC) being increasingly diagnosed in these countries. In order to assess the NCC burden in Portugal, a retrospective study on NCC hospitalizations (2006–2013) was conducted based on the national database on hospital morbidity: 357 hospitalized cases were detected. NCC was most frequent in the following age groups: 20–64 years (n = 197, 55·2%) >64 years (n = 111, 31·1%), and <20 years (n = 49, 13·7%). In the Norte and Centro regions cases tended to be older than in the Lisboa and Vale do Tejo Region. The results raise concerns for imported and autochthonous disease, suggesting the Lisboa and Vale do Tejo Region, due to its higher frequency of cases at younger ages, as a priority for research and intervention, and further suggest that NCC should be under surveillance (notifiable). The National Observatory of Cysticercosis and Taeniasis has been established and will define NCC cases as well as monitoring and surveillance.
Private Standards and the WTO: Reclusive No More
Authors: MAVROIDIS PETROS C. , WOLFE ROBERT 
Published: October 2016

AbstractPrivate standards are increasing in number, and they affect trade, but their status in the WTO remains problematic. Standards-takers are typically countries with little bargaining power, who cannot affect their terms of trade, and, thus, even if they possess domestic antitrust laws, will find it hard to persuade standard-setters to take account of their interests. Our concern is to bring more of these standards within the normative framework of the trade regime – that is, we worry that these private forms of social order can conflict with the fundamental norms of transparency and non-discrimination. The WTO membership has consumed itself in endless discussions regarding mundane, legalistic issues, and has not moved at all towards addressing the real concerns of developing countries. We discuss one aspect of the problem: How reclusive should the WTO allow product standards to be? We argue that the WTO should adopt a ‘Reference Paper’ that would encourage its members to apply WTO rules for adopting those standards that already come under the aegis of the WTO to private standards. In the absence of centralized enforcement, utopia in the WTO legal paradigm, transparency disciplines imposed on standard-setters is the best the WTO could offer to those who are negatively affected by private standards.

AbstractCapturing the dynamic electronic band structure of a correlated material presents a powerful capability for uncovering the complex couplings between the electronic and structural degrees of freedom. When combined with ultrafast laser excitation, new phases of matter can result, since far-from-equilibrium excited states are instantaneously populated. Here, we elucidate a general relation between ultrafast non-equilibrium electron dynamics and the size of the characteristic energy gap in a correlated electron material. We show that carrier multiplication via impact ionization can be one of the most important processes in a gapped material, and that the speed of carrier multiplication critically depends on the size of the energy gap. In the case of the charge-density wave material 1T-TiSe2, our data indicate that carrier multiplication and gap dynamics mutually amplify each other, which explains—on a microscopic level—the extremely fast response of this material to ultrafast optical excitation.
Deubiquitinase activity is required for the proteasomal degradation of misfolded cytosolic proteins upon heat-stress
Authors: Fang Nancy N. , Zhu Mang , Rose Amalia , Wu Kuen-Phon , Mayor Thibault 
Published: October 2016

AbstractElimination of misfolded proteins is crucial for proteostasis and to prevent proteinopathies. Nedd4/Rsp5 emerged as a major E3-ligase involved in multiple quality control pathways that target misfolded plasma membrane proteins, aggregated polypeptides and cytosolic heat-induced misfolded proteins for degradation. It remained unclear how in one case cytosolic heat-induced Rsp5 substrates are destined for proteasomal degradation, whereas other Rsp5 quality control substrates are otherwise directed to lysosomal degradation. Here we find that Ubp2 and Ubp3 deubiquitinases are required for the proteasomal degradation of cytosolic misfolded proteins targeted by Rsp5 after heat-shock (HS). The two deubiquitinases associate more with Rsp5 upon heat-stress to prevent the assembly of K63-linked ubiquitin on Rsp5 heat-induced substrates. This activity was required to promote the K48-mediated proteasomal degradation of Rsp5 HS-induced substrates. Our results indicate that ubiquitin chain editing is key to the cytosolic protein quality control under stress conditions.
