Revisiting Chinese-ness: A Transcultural Exploration of Chinese Christians in Germany
Authors: Rao Xinzi 
Published: July 2017

This paper proposes a transcultural exploration of Chinese Christians in Germany, based on two years of fieldwork. I problematise the key term ‘Chinese-ness’ in particular, and offer a re-imagination of culture, religion and religious community. Literature on Chinese migrants rarely focuses on the religious perspective, and even when it does, it does not focus on the practitioners of Christianity and often assumes ‘Chinese’ as a national category or a culture that is confined to traditional philosophy. I call my informants ‘transcultural Chinese’ because this term best captures the complex dynamics of their unique community. Instead of being fellowships that only welcome Christian believers from the People's Republic of China, the term ‘Chinese’ in the name of these fellowships must be understood culturally rather than politically. My transcultural approach to their focus on being ‘Chinese’ and preserving the ‘Chinese-ness’ of the fellowship – a ‘Chinese-ness’ which lies in sharing the same language, similar experiences and selected cultural traditions – illuminates perception of the members’ identities and agency. Moreover, such selective Chinese-ness is a two-way street: non-Christian Chinese deny a welcome to the Christian Chinese as a part of their Chinese identity.
L’évolution des approches du décrochage scolaire
Authors: Bruno Françoise , Félix Christine , Saujat Frédéric 
Published: July 2017

Dans un contexte de massification de l’enseignement et de difficultés d’insertion sur les marchés du travail, le décrochage scolaire constitue un problème majeur des systèmes scolaires dans les pays développés. Dans le cadre d’une recherche clinique sur le développement professionnel d’enseignants confrontés au risque de décrochage dans un collège français, cette revue de littérature recense les travaux de recherches des vingt dernières années concernant les approches descriptives de ce phénomène et le repérage des élèves à risque en Amérique du Nord, Europe et Océanie. D’une vision statique à une compréhension dynamique du décrochage, l’intérêt de l’approche par facteurs de risque et facteurs de protection est discuté, pour envisager une compréhension de l’abandon scolaire plus « écologique », située et davantage axée sur l’activité des individus en lien avec les contextes dans lesquels ils évoluent.
Violences conjugales et regard sur les femmes.
Authors: Mélan Emmanuelle 
Published: July 2017

Les diverses approches de la violence conjugale suscitent de nombreux débats sur le plan théorique mais également sur le plan des politiques et des pratiques d’interventions. Mais de quelles violences parle-t-on ? Pour tenter d’y répondre, cet article propose de mettre en discussion deux paradigmes : la symétrie de la violence et la domination. Cette contribution est basée sur un corpus empirique collecté dans une maison d’hébergement belge pour femmes battues et soutient la thèse selon laquelle la violence conjugale est une illustration de la domination patriarcale encore présente dans la société. En s’inscrivant dans cette perspective, l’auteur vient questionner les concepts de pouvoir, de stéréotype, d’émancipation pour ainsi interroger la justice pénale dans ce qu’elle peut produire comme représentations des femmes victimes de violences conjugales.
Destin, Providence et temps cyclique : Quelle liberté pour les personnages de Battlestar Galactica ?
Authors: Périer Isabelle 
Published: July 2017

Cet article se propose d’étudier la conception du temps, du destin et de la liberté à l’œuvre dans le reboot par Ronald D. Moore de la série télévisée Battlestar Galactica (Syfy, 2003-2009) en la confrontant à la cosmologie cyclique et providentielle des stoïciens. Dans la mesure où l’intertextualité à l’œuvre dans la série est une manière de représenter les déterminismes internes et externes pesant sur les personnages et de redoubler, par un effet de « déjà-vu », l’impression d’un éternel retour, nous nous appuierons aussi sur une analyse mythocritique pour saisir les enjeux philosophiques et cosmologiques de ce récit, entre destin et liberté.

Published: July 2017

Efficacy and safety of oral sildenafil citrate use in hemodialysis patients is not very well documented. We undertook a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral sildenafil in treating erectile dysfunction in hemodialysis patients. A total of 50 male hemodialysis patients (mean age 49.2 years) with ED were recruited for this double- blind, placebo-controlled prospective study. Patients were randomized into two groups of 25 patients and received either a placebo or sildenafil. Patients in sildenafil group were started on a 50-mg dose, and the dose was increased to 100 mg if there was no response after 2 doses. Patients were asked to complete the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) and a global life-satisfaction questionnaire before and after each dose.Improvement was observed in 76% of the sildenafil patients compared with 12% of placebo patients using IIEF and global assessment questionnaire. Sildenafil was associated with improvement in the IIEF score in all domains except those related to sexual desire. Sildenafil use resulted in normal EF scores in 36% of sildenafil patients. No correlation was found between sildenafil failure and patient age, duration of ED and the duration and etiology of renal failure. Sildenafil was well tolerated. Side effects were rare but occurred equally in both groups.Conclusions: Sildenafil is a safe and satisfactory drug for improving erectile function in patients with ESRD without contraindications for this drug. Pretreatment scores on the IIEF may be useful in predicting the success of the treatment.
Fluctuation of Matrix Entries and
Application to Outliers of
Elliptic Matrices
Authors: Benaych-Georges Florent , Cébron Guillaume , Rochet Jean 
Published: July 2017

AbstractFor any family of N ⨯ N randommatrices that is invariant, in law, under unitary conjugation, we give general sufficient conditions for central limit theorems for random variables of the type Tr(AkM), where the matrix M is deterministic (such random variables include, for example, the normalized matrix entries of Ak). A consequence is the asymptotic independence of the projection of the matrices Ak onto the subspace of null trace matrices from their projections onto the orthogonal of this subspace. These results are used to study the asymptotic behavior of the outliers of a spiked elliptic random matrix. More precisely, we show that the fluctuations of these outliers around their limits can have various rates of convergence, depending on the Jordan Canonical Formof the additive perturbation. Also, some correlations can arise between outliers at a macroscopic distance from each other.These phenomena have already been observed with random matrices from the Single Ring Theorem.
Barreiras e facilitadores no uso da bicicleta como meio de transporte entre universitários

Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2016v13n2p119Diante dos desafios atuais relacionados ao deslocamento de pessoas nos contextos urbanos, a bicicleta tem sido apresentada como uma alternativa para o transporte individual. Estudos atentos ao tema identificam principalmente os fatores individuais envolvidos na escolha modal, por vezes colocando em segundo plano os fatores do ambiente construído e negligenciando as implicações humano-ambientais do uso da bicicleta como meio de transporte. Nesse sentido, buscou-se identificar, sob o enfoque da psicologia ambiental, as barreiras e facilitadores no uso da bicicleta entre universitários da cidade de Florianópolis – SC. Participaram 18 estudantes universitários (doze do sexo masculino e seis do feminino), que responderam a uma entrevista semiestruturada. Com base na análise de conteúdo, os dados foram organizados em duas categorias com quatro subcategorias cada. Os resultados indicaram como barreiras os fatores ambientais, a conjuntura social, os aspectos políticos e os fatores pessoais. Quanto aos facilitadores, identificou-se o tempo, a praticidade, o sistema motorizado e os fatores pessoais como características principais. Os resultados apontam para a necessidade de compreender o uso da bicicleta como meio de transporte de maneira contextualizada e como parte de uma política pública em vigência. Além disso, atenta-se para a dimensão interpessoal do trânsito, que exige de seus participantes antes uma postura de compartilhamento do que de disputa.
A produção de uma estética para o reconhecimento do trabalho artesanal de tecelãs
Authors: Eggert Edla 
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1807-1384.2016v13n3p222O artigo analisa três vivências produzidas num ateliê com um grupo de tecelãs. Estuda-se o processo de saber fazer toda a produção têxtil e com elas visibilizar essas experiências de trabalho milenar. Os argumentos teórico-metodológicos ancoram-se na pesquisa participante entremeada com a perspectiva feminista de visibilizar a história das mulheres envolvendo o ato de pesquisar como (auto)formador. A observação participante e as rodas de conversa possibilitaram a recolha de material para a análise das vivências. Conclui-se que pesquisadoras e tecelãs produziram uma estética por meio de uma interface entre o ateliê e os espaços de formação em que as artesãs e as estudantes/professora foram desafiadas a pensar os processos de aprender e ensinar da Educação de Jovens e Adultos por meio do trabalho artesanal.

Published: July 2017

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar como se apresentam os fatores de influência dos contratos psicológicos no Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas (CFH), da UFSC com vistas a apoiar a gestão neste tipo de Instituição. A metodologia usada concentra-se na pesquisa predominantemente qualitativa, descritiva, e estudo de caso. Como técnicas de coleta de dados, foram utilizadas a pesquisa bibliográfica, a pesquisa documental e o questionário aplicado aos sujeitos selecionados, de modo não probabilístico, por acessibilidade e por tipicidade. O questionário foi formado por questões fechadas do tipo múltipla escolha e em escala Likert. Os dados coletados foram analisados estatisticamente a partir de análise interpretativa. Como resultados, foram levantados como se apresentam fatores de influência dos contratos psicológicos, e apontados os de maior influência, bem como foram propostas sugestões para corrigir falhas identificadas pela pesquisa. Concluiu-se que os fatores de maior influência são favoráveis para contratos psicológicos em equilíbrio, porém há outros a serem melhorados. Como principais alternativas de ação, sugerem-se conscientização sobre a importância da análise dos contratos psicológicos, comunicação clara e constante desde o ingresso na Instituição e a formação de Comissão para gerir os referidos contratos.
De O Paiz do Carnaval para Il Paese del Carnevale e Le Pays du Carnaval: os paratextos das traduções italiana e francesa
Authors: Bagno Sandra 
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2017v37n2p17Recordamos neste 2017 os 90 anos da “Ata de incineração” que destruiu mais de 1600 livros de Jorge Amado, e entre eles 214 exemplares de O Paiz do Carnaval, romance cuja primeira tradução – para o italiano, como de propósito escolhido pelo escritor – apareceria somenteem 1984, com uma “nota” de Luciana Stegagno Picchio. Partindo do pressuposto que, antes da publicação da primeira edição do romance (1931), o lexicógrafo italiano Panzini já rejeitara, para a Itália, as antigas alcunhas inglesas carnival land e land of carnival; este artigo visa focalizar quais interpretações foram veiculadas, além do paratexto da tradução italiana também por aquele da tradução francesa (1990), da autoria de Alice Raillard. Tradutora que, porém, se beneficiou no seu paratexto da sua célebre entrevista Conversando com Jorge Amado (1990) que abriria novos rumos à crítica amadiana internacional.
Interdisciplinaridade nos Estudos de Tradução

Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2017v37n2p246Desde 1992 (Snell-Hornby et al. 1994) os Estudos de Tradução* (doravante EdT) reivindicaram o estatuto de “interdisciplina”. Aliás, ainda há dúvidas sobre seu estatuto acadêmico que é mais recente em relação à profissão. Desde Holmes 1988 [1972], o desenvolvimento dos EdT foi, várias vezes, considerado uma história de sucesso; embora não se saiba claramente se os resultados acadêmicos (argumentos e componentes peculiares vinculados ao seu prestígio, tais como livros, sociedades, estudiosos reconhecidos, congressos), foram mais decisivos do que o mercado da tradução no progressivo reconhecimento dos EdT.
Pierre Menard as logocentric translator: a reappraisal of Rosemary Arrojo’s analysis of “Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote”
Authors: Fernandes Fabiano Seixas 
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7968.2017v37n2p55Este artigo reavalia a leitura feita pela teórica brasileira Rosemary Arrojo do conto “Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote”, do escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges; propõe que suas conclusões sobre o conto podem ser excessivas, e questiona até que ponto o conto pode ser lido como uma obra sobre tradução. A primeira seção esquematiza brevemente a visão dadesconstrução sobre a linguagem, e o trabalho de Arrojo; a segunda resume a análise que faz Arrojo do conto, conforme aparece em seu Oficina de tradução; a terceira expões suas limitações: sua natureza alegórica, seu embasamento em uma problemática amálgama entre leitura, interpretação e tradução, as dificuldades em se alinhar o conto aos pressupostos centrais do logocentrismo e as contradições internas do logocentrismo; a seção final avalia o papel de um comentário de George Steiner para a formação da opinião de que o conto versa sobre tradução.
TRAVESTILIDADES E DITADURA CIVIL-MILITAR BRASILEIRA. APONTAMENTOS DE UMA PESQUISA.
Authors: Lopes Fábio Henrique 
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7976.2016v23n35p145A ditadura civil-militar brasileira possui uma vasta produção historiográfica. Contudo, as específicas e históricas experiências que forjaram e possibilitaram a constituição da travestilidade e das subjetividades travestis naquele período, 1964-1985, ainda carecem de estudos e reflexões. O entrecruzamento das históricas travestilidades, com os inúmeros casos de violências, repressão e censura podem evidenciar e oferecer para estudo ações da repressão política-moral-policial ainda não focalizadas. O objetivo central é oferecer apontamentos e pistas iniciais para o debate em torno das violências praticadas durante a ditadura civil-militar brasileira, destacando sua dimensão machista, misógina, homofóbica e heteronormativa, que diversificaram projetos e ações, ora homogeneizando e agrupando todos e todas em um mesmo conjunto, os considerados “opositores políticos ao regime”, ora segmentando, imprimindo nuances nas perseguições, repressão, práticas e formas de violência dirigida às travestis.
The Indonesian Coup and Mass Killings, 1965-1967: A Reconceptualization of the Infuence of the Cold War
Authors: Keys Angela , Cottle Drew 
Published: July 2017

http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/2175-7976.2016v23n36p334This article explores how the local situation – politically, economically and socially – contributed to the occurrence in Indonesia of two crucial and interlinked Cold War events, the Indonesian coup and massacre. The article explains how an Indonesian army general, Suharto, was able to utilise Cold War narratives to instigate anti-communist fervour, which resulted in the massacre of more than half a million alleged communists. Suharto was able to gradually usurp power and eventually replace Sukarno as the president of Indonesia. It is argued that the convergence of domestic factors was critical to these events, which can be understood as a localised Cold War.
An assessment of the impact of ATMS and CrIS data assimilation on precipitation prediction over the Tibetan Plateau

Published: July 2017

Abstract. Using the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Gridpoint Statistical Interpolation data assimilation system and the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF-ARW) regional model, the impact of assimilating Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) and Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) satellite data on precipitation prediction over the Tibetan Plateau in July 2015 was evaluated. Four experiments were designed: a control experiment and three data assimilation experiments with different data sets injected: conventional data only, a combination of conventional and ATMS satellite data, and a combination of conventional and CrIS satellite data. The results showed that the monthly mean of precipitation is shifted northward in the simulations and showed an orographic bias described as an overestimation upwind of the mountains and an underestimation in the south of the rain belt. The rain shadow mainly influenced prediction of the quantity of precipitation, although the main rainfall pattern was well simulated. For the first 24 h and last 24 h of accumulated daily precipitation, the model generally overestimated the amount of precipitation, but it was underestimated in the heavy-rainfall periods of 3–5, 13–16, and 22–25 July. The observed water vapor conveyance from the southeastern Tibetan Plateau was larger than in the model simulations, which induced inaccuracies in the forecast of heavy rain on 3–5 July. The data assimilation experiments, particularly the ATMS assimilation, were closer to the observations for the heavy-rainfall process than the control. Overall, based on the experiments in July 2015, the satellite data assimilation improved to some extent the prediction of the precipitation pattern over the Tibetan Plateau, although the simulation of the rain belt without data assimilation shows the regional shifting.
Reviews and syntheses: Systematic Earth observations for use in terrestrial carbon cycle data assimilation systems

Published: July 2017

Abstract. The global carbon cycle is an important component of the Earth system and it interacts with the hydrology, energy and nutrient cycles as well as ecosystem dynamics. A better understanding of the global carbon cycle is required for improved projections of climate change including corresponding changes in water and food resources and for the verification of measures to reduce anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. An improved understanding of the carbon cycle can be achieved by data assimilation systems, which integrate observations relevant to the carbon cycle into coupled carbon, water, energy and nutrient models. Hence, the ingredients for such systems are a carbon cycle model, an algorithm for the assimilation and systematic and well error-characterised observations relevant to the carbon cycle. Relevant observations for assimilation include various in situ measurements in the atmosphere (e.g. concentrations of CO2 and other gases) and on land (e.g. fluxes of carbon water and energy, carbon stocks) as well as remote sensing observations (e.g. atmospheric composition, vegetation and surface properties).We briefly review the different existing data assimilation techniques and contrast them to model benchmarking and evaluation efforts (which also rely on observations). A common requirement for all assimilation techniques is a full description of the observational data properties. Uncertainty estimates of the observations are as important as the observations themselves because they similarly determine the outcome of such assimilation systems. Hence, this article reviews the requirements of data assimilation systems on observations and provides a non-exhaustive overview of current observations and their uncertainties for use in terrestrial carbon cycle data assimilation. We report on progress since the review of model-data synthesis in terrestrial carbon observations by Raupach et al.(2005), emphasising the rapid advance in relevant space-based observations.

Abstract. Global temperature is a fundamental climate metric highly correlated with sea level, which implies that keeping shorelines near their present location requires keeping global temperature within or close to its preindustrial Holocene range. However, global temperature excluding short-term variability now exceeds +1 °C relative to the 1880–1920 mean and annual 2016 global temperature was almost +1.3 °C. We show that global temperature has risen well out of the Holocene range and Earth is now as warm as it was during the prior (Eemian) interglacial period, when sea level reached 6–9 m higher than today. Further, Earth is out of energy balance with present atmospheric composition, implying that more warming is in the pipeline, and we show that the growth rate of greenhouse gas climate forcing has accelerated markedly in the past decade. The rapidity of ice sheet and sea level response to global temperature is difficult to predict, but is dependent on the magnitude of warming. Targets for limiting global warming thus, at minimum, should aim to avoid leaving global temperature at Eemian or higher levels for centuries. Such targets now require negative emissions, i.e., extraction of CO2 from the air. If phasedown of fossil fuel emissions begins soon, improved agricultural and forestry practices, including reforestation and steps to improve soil fertility and increase its carbon content, may provide much of the necessary CO2 extraction. In that case, the magnitude and duration of global temperature excursion above the natural range of the current interglacial (Holocene) could be limited and irreversible climate impacts could be minimized. In contrast, continued high fossil fuel emissions today place a burden on young people to undertake massive technological CO2 extraction if they are to limit climate change and its consequences. Proposed methods of extraction such as bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS) or air capture of CO2 have minimal estimated costs of USD 89–535 trillion this century and also have large risks and uncertain feasibility. Continued high fossil fuel emissions unarguably sentences young people to either a massive, implausible cleanup or growing deleterious climate impacts or both.
