Abstract

Background: Ovotesticular disorder of sex development (OT-DSD) (true hermaphroditism) is an anatomopathological diagnosis based on the findings of testicular and ovarian tissues in the same subject, in the same gonad (ovotestis), or in separate gonads. OT-DSD is a rare cause of sex ambiguity, and the most common karyotype is 46,XX; mosaics and chimeras are found only in 10%–20%.

Aim: To report a case of an OT-DSD patient with a rare karyotype constitution.

Case report: A 2-month-old child with male sex assignment was referred to our clinic for investigation of sex ambiguity. He was the second child of healthy unrelated parents; pregnancy and labor were uneventful. On physical examination, he had a 2.3-cm phallus and perineal hypospadias (Prader grade III); the right gonad was in the labioscrotal fold and the left was found in the inguinal channel. Karyotype was 46,XX/47,XXY/48,XXYY. Anatomopathological examination of gonads revealed right testis and left ovotestis. The male sex assignment was maintained; the child underwent left gonadectomy, removal of Mullerian structures and urethroplasty.

Conclusion: A thorough revision of literature revealed a single case of OT-DSD with the same chromosome constitution. Gonadal biopsy is necessary to establish diagnosis in cases of sex chromosome mosaicism.
Endocrine aspects and sequel in patients with craniopharyngioma
Authors: Erfurth Eva Marie 
Published: December 2014

AbstractA craniopharyngioma (CP) is an embryonic malformation of the sellar and parasellar region. The annual incidence is 0.5–2.0 cases/million per year and approximately 60% of CP is seen in adulthood. The therapy of choice is surgery, followed by cranial radiotherapy in about half of the patients. Typical initial manifestations at diagnosis in children are symptoms of elevated intracranial pressure, visual disturbances and hypopituitarism. CPs have the highest mortality of all pituitary tumours. The standardised overall mortality rate varies from 2.88 to 9.28 in cohort studies. Adults with CP have a 3–19-fold higher cardiovascular mortality in comparison to the general population. Women with CP have an even higher risk. The long-term morbidity is substantial with hypopituitarism, increased cardiovascular risk, hypothalamic damage, visual and neurological deficits, reduced bone health and reduction in quality of life and cognitive function.
On the use of semi-closed sets and functions in convex analysis

Abstract
The main aim of this short note is to show that the subdifferentiability and duality results established by Laghdir (2005), Laghdir and Benabbou (2007), and Alimohammady et al. (2011), stated in Fréchet spaces, are consequences of the corresponding known results using Moreau-Rockafellar type conditions.
›Beredsamkeit‹ in Lessing’s Zur Geschichte und Litteratur: A reply to Herder
Authors: Bengtsson Staffan 
Published: December 2014

AbstractTowards the end of Ueber die neuere Deutsche Litteratur (1767), Johann Gottfried Herder publicly makes the call that homiletics is in need of a »completely different kind of eloquence«. Ciceronian eloquene in Germany did not have any public space except from the pulpit, and the eloquence from the pulpit made the public passive, because the preacher pronounced sentences like a judge in a court. Herder turned instead to the Bible as a book that is in need of interpretation, to literature as a public arena where different opinions could meet, to the reader as a detective, and to the story of creation as the secret model by which to create an all-embracing perspective from a diversity of viewpoints. Herder took a series of isolated judgments (fragments) from leading journals of his day and shaped these broken pieces into a puzzle pieces (fragments in a new sense) which can be put together as an image of German literature. Although it challenged the division between painting and poetry of Laokoon, Lessing adopted this form of presentation in his new work Zur Geschichte und Litteratur (1773-1777), but retorted on a grander scale by presenting puzzle pieces from manuscripts of the Herzog August Library. At this time, Herder, Goethe and Lessing could be seen as an avant-garde bound together by a similar form of presentation.
»Es spricht kein Gott; es spricht dein eignes Herz«. Kommunikative Autonomie und rhetorische Typologie in Goethes Iphigenie
Authors: Kramer Olaf 
Published: December 2014

AbstractThe following contribution will show how Goethe’s play Iphigenie auf Tauris, being deeply rooted in rhetoric and discourse, is differing from its Euripidean predecessor as well as from the prevailing opinion of literary scholars. Firstly, by looking at Iphigenie’s struggle for autonomy, the text will show that Iphigenie’s ›devilish humanity‹ stems from herself being a rhetorical person, and that her weaknesses let her turn to communicative and rhetorical means. Secondly, by analyzing the communicative strategies used by the main personnel of the drama, namely Iphigenie, Thoas and Pylades, I will show that Goethe embedded a rhetorical typology into his work. All three of them embody different rhetorical strategies and only by using them thoughtfully, a communicative rather than a violent denouement is possible. With the consequence that even Orestes’ healing can be seen as a therapeutic rhetorical act. Thus Iphigenie can be seen as a mediation upon the possibilities and limitations of rhetoric and communication.
Den Stoff durch die Form vertilgen. Das res / verba-Problem in Friedrich Schillers Briefen über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen
Authors: Ort Varun F. 
Published: December 2014

AbstractIn acknowledgement of both the intellectual aspirations and the poetical style of Friedrich Schiller’s Aesthetic Education, the following article will re-interpret a passage in the 22nd letter that can be designated as a ›Poetics in nuce‹. Initially, it will be pointed out that Schiller’s theory of human perception as well as his semiotic model focus on the problem of commerce between matter and mind or sign and meaning. Subsequently, it will be shown that the terms Form and Stoff establish a connection between anthropology and poetics by shaping both theories according to the model of metabolism, which is a common metaphor employed to describe the res / verba relation in classical rhetoric. Consequently, I will demonstrate that the epistemological discourse in the letters 24 to 27, in stressing the senses of sight and hearing, leads to a theory of aesthetic communication that integrates rhetorical techniques of creating appearance (»Schein«) by adapting these strategies to the requirements of written communication in print cultures.

Published: December 2014

Abstract
New faunistic data on the distribution of 50 species of the family Agromyzidae from the Afrotropical Region are given. Chromatomyia syngenesiae Hardy, 1849 and Phytomyza ranunculi (Schrank, 1803) are firstly recorded for the Afrotropics and 47 species are firstly recorded for the following countries: Angola, Cameroon, Cape Verde Islands, Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe. For each country the number of known species are put together in a table. An updated Afrotropical checklist is added. The most peculiar genitalia of the redetected Ophiomyia dhofarensis are discussed in connection with other species, among them: Ophiomyia yunnanensis
comb. nov. [= Ophiomyia dumosa
syn. nov.]. Ophiomyia nigrimaculata
comb. nov. is treated taxomically, too. The type-species of the Pseudonapomyza acanthacearum-group is re-defined. Ranunculus was firstly confirmed as host plant genus of Phytomyza subeximia which develops between its seeds, a rare substrate in the genus. Napomyza strana
stat. rev. was redetected in an altitude of 3353 m a.s.l. An eclector collecting method is described which lets estimate the natural proportional abundance of Agromyzidae compared with all other Diptera in the groundlevel vegetation of a country.
Glacier status and contribution to streamflow in the Olympic Mountains, Washington, USA
Authors: Riedel J.L. , Wilson Steve , Baccus William , Larrabee Michael , Fudge T.J. , Fountain Andrew 
Published: December 2014

AbstractThe Olympic Peninsula, Washington, USA, currently holds 184 alpine glaciers larger than 0.01 km2 and their combined area is 30.2 ± 0.95 km2. Only four glaciers are >1 km2 and 120 of the others are <0.1 km2. This represents a loss of 82 glaciers and a 34% decrease in combined area since 1980, with the most pronounced losses occurring on south-facing aspects and in the more arid northeastern part of the range. Annual rate of loss in glacier area for seven of the largest glaciers accelerated from 0.26 km2 a−1 (1900–80) to 0.54 km2 a−1 (1980–2009). Thinning rates on four of the largest glaciers averaged nearly 1 ma−1 from 1987 to 2010, resulting in estimated volume losses of 17–24%. Combined glacial snow, firn and ice melt in the Hoh watershed is in the range 63–79 ± 7 × 106 m3, or 9–15% of total May–September streamflow. In the critical August–September period, the glacial fraction of total basin runoff increases to 18–30%, with one-third of the water directly from glacial ice (i.e. not snow and firn). Glaciers in the Elwha basin produce 12–15 ± 1.3 × 106 m3 (2.5–4.0%), while those in the Dungeness basin contribute 2.5–3.1 ± 0.28 × 106 m3 (3.0–3.8%).
An invasive plant alters pollinator‐mediated phenotypic selection on a native congener
Authors: Beans Carolyn M. , Roach Deborah A. 
Published: December 2014

• Premise of study: Recent studies suggest that invasive plants compete reproductively with native plants by reducing the quantity or quality of pollinator visits. Although these studies have revealed ecological consequences of pollinator‐mediated competition between invasive and native plants, the evolutionary outcomes of these interactions remain largely unexplored.• Methods: We studied the ecological and evolutionary impact of pollinator‐mediated competition with an invasive jewelweed, Impatiens glandulifera, on a co‐occurring native congener, I. capensis. Using a pollinator choice experiment, a hand pollination experiment, and a selection analysis, we addressed the following questions: (1) Do native pollinators show preference for the invasive or native jewelweed, and do they move between the two species? (2) Does invasive jewelweed pollen inhibit seed production in the native plant? (3) Does the invasive jewelweed alter phenotypic selection on the native plant's floral traits?• Key results: The pollinator choice experiment showed that pollinators strongly preferred the invasive jewelweed. The hand pollination experiment demonstrated that invasive pollen inhibited seed production in the native plant. The selection analysis showed that the presence of the invasive jewelweed altered phenotypic selection on corolla height in the native plant.• Conclusions: Invasive plants have the potential to alter phenotypic selection on floral traits in native plant populations. If native plants can evolve in response to this altered selection pressure, the evolution of floral traits may play an important role in permitting long‐term coexistence of native and invasive plants.
(Re) peupler les SES !
Authors: Martinache Igor , Thibault Nicolas 
Published: December 2014

La démographie fait partie des savoirs disciplinaires que nous mobilisons dans le cadre des SES. D’une part, au croisement des différentes sciences sociales quantitatives, il y a l’exigence de catégoriser les êtres humains pour les compter. D’autre part, les questions de population permettent d’introduire le raisonnement en SES au travers d’objets qui intéressent les élèves et qui s’inscrivent dans le débat public. Pourtant, la démographie a connu une quasi éclipse de 20 ans, où le programme ne faisait plus référence explicitement à elle.
Comment la démographie influe-t-elle sur l'économie ?
Authors: Martinache Igor 
Published: December 2014

Qu’il s’agisse de fécondité ou de migrations, les dynamiques démographiques sont incontestablement au cœur des débats publics, aujourd’hui comme hier. C’est que leurs implications économiques et sociales sont loin de faire consensus et font l’objet de nombreuses prénotions. Si l’opposition entre malthusiens et natalistes est quelque peu réductrice, elle continue néanmoins de structurer nombre de débats depuis la publication par le pasteur anglais de ses Principes de population en 1798, portant d’abord sur ses implications sur la croissance économique, mais aussi, de nos jours, sur la protection sociale et l’écologie. D’où l’intérêt de revenir sur ces enjeux, comme y invite le programme de l’option d’économie approfondie en classe de terminale ES. Vous trouverez ici quelques ressources documentaires qui vous permettront d’aborder ces questions avec vos élèves.
Les aventures d'un Boeing dans l'économie globalisée

La production mondiale se structure de plus en plus en « chaînes de valeur mondiales », au travers desquelles les tâches nécessaires pour fabriquer un bien sont fragmentées et réalisées dans différents pays. Comme les biens intermédiaires traversent plusieurs fois les frontières, les statistiques traditionnelles du commerce international sont de moins en moins pertinentes pour évaluer la valeur créée par chaque pays.
La Revue de métaphysique et de morale et les congrès internationaux de philosophie (1900-1914) : une contribution à la construction d'une Internationale philosophique
Authors: Soulié Stéphan 
Published: December 2014

En organisant, en 1900, le premier congrès international de philosophie et en participant activement à la « fabrication » des congrès suivants, la Revue de métaphysique et de morale a contribué à la constitution d'une communauté philosophique internationale. La nationalisation des discours, avant 1914, impose un effort de diplomatie intellectuelle. Alors que les relations se crispent avec l'Allemagne, Xavier Léon cultive l'amitié franco-italienne. L'entreprise congressiste demeure dans son esprit liée aux intérêts de sa publication et au rayonnement de la philosophie française.
Le long et monotone chapelet de l'Esprit universel. Disciplinarisation et internationalisation dans les congrès de philosophie
Authors: Bianco Giuseppe 
Published: December 2014

À travers l'analyse des quatre premiers congrès internationaux de philosophie, cet article tente d'isoler trois traits propres à cette nouvelle forme de sociabilité intellectuelle en philosophie : 1) une tentative de standardiser les pratiques et d'optimiser les échanges de données, 2) un lien entre échanges de marchandises et échanges de biens symboliques, 3) un contexte conflictuel à la fois sur le plan national et international. Sur cette base, l'article tente de fournir quelques éléments de réponse au dysfonctionnement de cette forme.
Langevin ou le paradoxe introuvable
Authors: During Élie 
Published: December 2014

C'est à l'occasion de sa conférence au congrès de philosophie de Bologne de 1911 que le physicien Paul Langevin présente le célèbre « paradoxe des jumeaux » désormais associé à son nom. C'est du moins ce qui se dit. En réalité, la version qu'il en donne alors ne comporte ni jumeaux ni paradoxe. D'Einstein (1905) à Bergson (1922), le paradoxe s'est constitué et consolidé à travers une série de relais. On en retrace ici l'histoire tout en reconnaissant l'importance du « moment Langevin » pour la réception philosophique de la théorie de la relativité.
Paul Otlet, Otto Neurath, Le Corbusier : un projet pour la paix perpétuelle
Authors: Tega Walter 
Published: December 2014

Après la Première Guerre mondiale, trois grands hommes travaillent au projet du « Mundaneum » : un philanthrope déjà promoteur de la Conférence mondiale pour la paix et partisan de la création d'une Société des Nations (Paul Otlet), un philosophe qui s'interroge sur la possibilité d'une Encyclopédie internationale des sciences unifiées au service de l'homme et de la paix (Otto Neurath) et un protagoniste de l'architecture contemporaine (Le Corbusier). Bien que leur projet de paix perpétuelle n'ait pas été destiné au succès, les principes de l'universalisme et du cosmopolitisme qui l'ont inspiré sont loin d'être depassés.
Simmel et la guerre. De 14 à 18
Authors: Thouard Denis 
Published: December 2014

L'étude (partiellement présentée ici) cherche à éclairer la faillite de l'internationalisation philosophique après août 1914. Elle interroge le paradoxe du cas de Georg Simmel qui pouvait, avec sa « sociologie du conflit » (1908) et sa philosophie de la culture, interpréter la guerre. On présente une étude analytique de ses différentes interventions, puis de la composition du livre La Guerre et les décisions de l'esprit en 1917, suivie d'un essai d'interprétation qui tente de rapporter certaines prises de position de Simmel aux évolutions de sa philosophie de la temporalité.
Exposure Diversity Reconsidered
Authors: Napoli Philip M. 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
Concerning media diversity, should policymakers be more concerned about the choices consumers of information make than what sources are available to them? Dr. Napoli argues that with all of the information outlets currently available, focusing on source and content diversity is becoming less important than understanding the information that is actually consumed by media users. If audiences choose to focus their attention selectively on only a few sources that reflect their tastes and preferences, are policy interventions called for? Dr. Napoli discusses the kinds of research needed to begin to answer this question.
Ethnic Media as Partners for Increasing Broadband Adoption and Social Inclusion
Authors: Katz Vikki S. , Matsaganis Matthew D. , Ball-Rokeach Sandra J. 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
How can the goal of the National Broadband Plan (NBP) to alleviate social disparities be achieved? Katz, Matsaganis and Ball-Rokeach believe that local ethnic media, working with local anchor institutions, are the key to ethnic and minority broadband adoption and social inclusion. The authors illustrate this by showing how ethnic media can help realize the NBP's goals generally, and specifically with regard to developing a National Digital Literacy Corps and an online Digital Literacy Portal. Such media are, however, threatened by ongoing media ownership concentration and the defunding of public media. Sustaining such media, they argue, requires proactive public policy: inclusion in the E-Rate program; help with going online; development grant opportunities; antitrust enforcement; adoption of the NBP's call for a National Digital Literacy Corps and an online Digital Literacy Portal; and more research on the content and contextual features of ethnic media and on how they compare with “mainstream” media. This will accelerate achievement of the NBP's goals.
Spectrum Trading: Market-Based Architectures for Dynamic Radio Frequency Spectrum Access
Authors: Caicedo Bastidas Carlos E. 
Published: December 2014

Abstract
The traditional regime of spectrum allocation, in which governments assign frequencies for particular uses, leads to inefficiencies as large portions of available spectrum remain unused. In this article, Dr. Caicedo finds evidence that the scarcity of frequencies is artificial, and argues that technological innovation and new telecommunications business models are being held back as a result. Dr. Caicedo proposes the development of spectrum trading markets, and discusses their economic and technological viability for making spectrum usage more efficient for consumers and wireless service providers.

Irreconcilable Differences? An Analysis of the Standoff between the African Union and the International Criminal Court
From initial African support for the establishment of the International Criminal Court to recent proposals that African states should withdraw from it, the article traces the history of the relationship between the African Union and the Court and the reasons for its deterioration. The discussion is focussed on the issue of immunity for sitting heads of state, which has emerged as a major sticking point between the two organisations. The disagreement is illustrated with reference to the ICC’s efforts to prosecute the Kenyan President and his deputy. We examine the legal position on head-of-state immunity at international law, and proceed to evaluate the AU’s proposal that the ICC should amend the Rome Statute to provide for immunity for sitting heads of state, as well as the amendment to the Protocol of the African Court of Justice and Human Rights, in light thereof.

Arbitrage en algemene voorwaarden: the twain shall meet?
In april 2013 gaf het CISG Advisory Committee een rechtsgeleerde opinie over de toepasselijkheid van algemene voorwaarden onder het Weens Koopverdrag (‘WKV’). In die opinie worden aanwijzingen gegeven over de vraag, hoe algemene voorwaarden ter beschikking kunnen worden gesteld om gelding te hebben onder het WKV. In deze bijdrage staat een arrest van het hof Den Haag centraal, waarin de opinie wordt toegepast. Tevens komt de invloed van de toepasselijkheid van algemene voorwaarden op het bestaan van een arbitrageovereenkomst aan de orde.
