Authors: Ramananantoandro Tahiana , Larricq Pierre , Eterradossi Olivier 
Published: January 2014

Abstract
The objective measurement and subjective estimation of the surface quality by the consumers are important issues for furniture production and marketing. The objective of the present study is to find suitable (objective) roughness parameters that are linked to human sensation. Maritime pinewood and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) made from the same species are in focus. The roughness was measured by means of a 3D confocal profilometer and 13 independent 3D roughness parameters were computed. The quality of surfaces was modified through sanding, whereas the grit size of sand papers ranged between P60 and P320. The applied pressure and sanding time were controlled. The subjective estimation of the surface aspects was performed by several individuals through sensorial analysis. Biplots of several roughness parameters versus tactile rank revealed in the case of MDF a significant correlation to arithmetical average roughness S
a and valley material component S
r2. For pinewood, the parameters arithmetical average roughness S
a and texture aspect ratio S
tr correlated best to tactile rank.

Published: January 2014

AbstractIn the memory of Prof. Ing. Ladislav Valko, DrSc. (1930–2013) A room-temperature synthesis of copper(II) 2-pyridylmethanolate tetrahydrate, [CuL2] · 4H2O, with nearly quantitative yields with its structure redetermined at 213 K is presented. In agreement with the X-ray structure data, the DFT quantum-chemical calculations confirmed the planar structure of CuL2 (C 2h symmetry). The measured IR and Raman spectra were interpreted using the DFT calculations and some erroneous assignments in the previous studies have been corrected.
Objective assessment for characterising the flatness of garment sewing stitches
Authors: Hongxia Jiang , Jihong Liu , Zhilei Chai , Chunxia Wang , Mingxia Zhang 
Published: January 2014

Abstract
In this paper, a novel classification method of assessing garment sewing stitch based on amended bi-dimensional
empirical mode decomposition (ABEMD) has been introduced. Two parameters that characterise garment sewing
stitch, average area and standard deviation, have been defined based on the grey value of pixels. Experimental
results showed that when the window size is 512×128 pixels with regard to average area, the threshold can be
decided as 6.00, 5.50, 5.30 and 4.00 for five different grades , respectively. Meanwhile, with regard to standard
deviation, the threshold can be decided as 48.00, 40.00, 30.00 and 20.00, respectively. It is demonstrated that the
parameters are effective in discriminating sewing stitch images in terms of the grades when used as inputs for the
ABEMD. The performance of the algorithm on different garment status is significantly reliable.
Pure Chitosan and Chitsoan/Chitosan Lactate Blended Nanofibres made by Single Step Electrospinning
Authors: Cheng Tong , Hund Rolf-Dieter , Aibibu Dilibaier , Horakova Jana , Cherif Chokri 
Published: January 2014

Abstract
A single step electrospinning of chitosan and chitosan derivative-chitosan lactate nanofibres was studied in this paper.
Chitosan was dissolved into acetic acid to produce structure-stable nanofibres. The effect of chitosan concentration
and the content of acetic acid on the fibre diameter and morphology of nanofibres were studied in detail. The
dynamic viscosity and surface tension of the electrospinning chitosan solutions were systematically studied as well.
Based on the fundamental study on electrospinning chitosan in acetic acid, a chitosan derivative, chitosan lactate,
was added to produce nanofibre in a pH-friendly aqueous environment. Chemical and morphological analyses
demonstrated that chitosan lactate will positively influence the formation of nanofibres in higher pH condition
although the morphology should be improved.
Dose Optimization for Spinal Treatment Effectiveness: A Randomized Controlled Trial Investigating the Effects of High and Low Mobilization Forces in Patients With Neck Pain
Authors: Snodgrass Suzanne J. , Rivett Darren A. , Sterling Michele , Vicenzino Bill 
Published: January 2014

Study Design Randomized controlled trial. Objective To determine if force magnitude during posterior-to-anterior mobilization affects immediate and short-term outcomes in patients with chronic, nonspecific neck pain. Background The optimal dose of mobilization to effectively treat patients with neck pain is not known. Methods Patients with neck pain of at least 3 months in duration (n = 64) were randomized to receive a single treatment of posterior-to-anterior mobilization applied with 30 N or 90 N of mean peak force (3 sets of 30 seconds) or a placebo (detuned laser) on the spinous process at the painful spinal level. Pressure pain threshold, pain measured with a visual analog scale (range, 0–100 mm), cervical range of motion, and spinal stiffness at the painful spinal level (measured with a custom device and normalized as a percentage of C7 stiffness) were assessed before, immediately after, and at a mean ± SD follow-up of 4.0 ± 1.8 days following treatment. Repeated-measures analysis of covariance and Bonferroni-adjusted post hoc tests determined group differences for each outcome measure after treatment and at follow-up. Results At follow-up, the 90-N group had less pain than the 30-N group (mean difference, 11.3 mm; 95% confidence interval: 0.1, 22.6 mm; P = .048) and lower stiffness than the placebo group (mean difference, 17.5%; 95% confidence interval: 4.2%, 30.9%; P = .006). These differences were not present immediately after treatment. There were no significant between-group differences in pressure pain threshold or range of motion after treatment or at follow-up. Conclusion A specific dose of mobilization, in terms of applied force, appears necessary for reducing stiffness and potentially pain in patients with chronic neck pain. Changes were not observed immediately after mobilization, suggesting that its effects are not directly mechanical.

Clinical Observation of Standing Trunk Movements: What Do the Aberrant Movement Patterns Tell Us?
Authors: Biely Scott A. , Silfies Sheri P. , Smith Susan S. , Hicks Gregory E. 
Published: January 2014

Study Design Clinical measurement, cross-sectional study. Objective To investigate the reliability of observation of aberrant movement patterns (altered lumbopelvic rhythm, deviation from sagittal plane, instability catch or judder, and painful arc of motion) and to determine whether each pattern is associated with current low back pain (LBP). Background Identification of aberrant movement patterns during trunk motion is an important component of subclassifying patients with LBP and prescribing evidence-based interventions. However, reported reliability for observation of specific aberrant patterns is low, and observation of any aberrant pattern (clinical definition of positive test) has ranged from poor to moderate. In addition, the validity of the association of clinical observations of aberrant movements during forward bending with LBP or dysfunction has yet to be determined. Methods Experienced physical therapists simultaneously observed trunk movements of 102 subjects with no LBP, current LBP, or history of LBP. Kappa statistics were used to evaluate interrater agreement in identifying different types of aberrant patterns. Associations were used to determine the validity of the hypothesized relationship between aberrant patterns and LBP. Results Interrater reliability of identifying the different types of aberrant patterns in subjects with LBP ranged from fair (κ = 0.35; 95% confidence interval: 0.00, 0.71) to excellent (κ = 0.89; 95% confidence interval: 0.69, 1.00). Using the clinical definition of 1 observation of any aberrant motion, interrater agreement was substantial (κ = 0.65; 95% confidence interval: 0.00, 1.00). Significant association was found between judder, deviation, and LBP. The frequency of observed aberrant patterns was significantly associated with LBP. Conclusion Simultaneous observation for specific aberrant movement patterns suggests that identification can be performed with at least fair interrater agreement, and observation of any pattern with substantial agreement. Aberrant patterns are more frequently observed in patients with current complaints of LBP; however, they also appear in individuals with a history of LBP and no LBP.

Published: January 2014

Study Design Controlled, repeated-measures, single-blind randomized study. Objectives To determine the effect of cervical or thoracic manipulation on neurotensin, oxytocin, orexin A, and cortisol levels. Background Previous studies have researched the effect of spinal manipulation on pain modulation and/or range of movement. However, there is little knowledge of the biochemical process that supports the antinociceptive effect of spinal manipulation. Methods Thirty asymptomatic subjects were randomly divided into 3 groups: cervical manipulation (n = 10), thoracic manipulation (n = 10), and nonmanipulation (control) (n = 10). Blood samples were extracted before, immediately after, and 2 hours after each intervention. Neurotensin, oxytocin, and orexin A were determined in plasma using enzyme-linked immuno assay. Cortisol was measured by microparticulate enzyme immuno assay in serum samples. Results Immediately after the intervention, significantly higher values of neurotensin (P<.05) and oxytocin (P<.001) levels were observed with both cervical and thoracic manipulation, whereas cortisol concentration was increased only in the cervical manipulation group (P<.05). No changes were detected for orexin A levels. Two hours after the intervention, no significant differences were observed in between-group analysis. Conclusion The mechanical stimulus provided by spinal manipulation triggers an increase in neurotensin, oxytocin, and cortisol blood levels. Data suggest that the initial capability of the tissues to tolerate mechanical deformation affects the capacity of these tissues to produce an induction of neuropeptide expression.

Published: January 2014

Background Subtype-specific response to ketoamide NS3 protease inhibitors is observed in patients with genotype 1 HCV infection. Whether the genetic diversity in the molecular target site of ketoamide compounds prior to treatment plays a role for resistance development and lower treatment response in subtype 1a is poorly understood. Methods Using a public database, we retrieved worldwide NS3-sequence information of 581 dominant HCV variants from patients chronically infected with genotype 1 that were naive to direct-acting antivirals. We applied measures from phylogeny to study the pretreatment genetic diversity and complexity in NS3 full-length as well as the protease–helicase interface for subtype 1a and 1b, respectively. Results We found polymorphic sites more frequently in variants of subtype 1b than subtype 1a. Moreover, a significantly higher number of synonymous and non-synonymous substitutions were found in subtype 1b ( P<0.001). Transitions were more frequent than transversions, most notably in subtype 1a, whereas the higher average number of nucleotide differences per site was found in subtype 1b. A comparison of NS3 full-length versus domain interface residues for both subtypes revealed a significant difference only for synonymous substitutions ( P<0.001). Conclusions Our study suggests that the nature of a mismatch nucleotide exchange in NS3 may constitute an important viral genetic factor for response to ketoamide protease inhibitors. Our analysis further suggests that the subtype-specific pace of resistance development seen in clinical trials is not primarily related to differences in genetic diversity in the direct acting antiviral naive population, but rather appears to correlate with the natural frequency of transition mutations characteristic of each subtype.

Published: January 2014

Background Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is a feline coronavirus-induced fatal disease in domestic and wild cats. Cellular immunity is considered to play an important role in the prevention of FIP. Thus, induction of the cellular immune response is essential in vaccines against FIP virus (FIPV) infection. Methods We immunized cats with peptides containing T-helper (Th)1 epitopes derived from the nucleocapsid (N) protein of the type I FIPV KU-2 strain (NP7 and NP8) with feline CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (fCpG-ODNs) as a vaccine adjuvant. Results Prevention against type II FIPV 79-1146 strain-induced FIP was slightly better in specific pathogen-free cats treated with NP7 and NP8 with fCpG-ODNs. However, immune tolerance was suggested to be induced by the high dose and frequency of NP7 and NP8 with fCpG-ODNs. Conclusions Further investigations on the combination and concentrations of the peptides and fCpG-ODNs, dose, frequency and route of administration are needed.

Published: January 2014

Background Potential liver toxicity is an important consideration for antiretroviral selection among patients coinfected with HIV and viral hepatitis (B and/or C). We sought to describe the hepatic safety profile of raltegravir in this population. Methods Using data from HIV clinical cohorts at Johns Hopkins University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, we evaluated factors associated with liver enzyme elevations (LEEs) and calculated adverse event incidence rates for patients initiated on raltegravir-containing regimens prior to 1 January 2010. LEEs were graded according to Division of AIDS definitions. Results During the study period, 456 patients received raltegravir – of whom 36% were hepatitis-coinfected (138 HCV, 17 HBV, 11 HBV+HCV). Coinfected patients were more likely to have baseline abnormal LEEs and developed severe (grade 3–4) LEEs at a rate 3.4x that of HIV-monoinfected patients (95% CI 1.28, 9.61). Among all participants, the incidence rate for first occurrence of severe LEEs was 5 per 100 person-years (95% CI 3, 7). In adjusted analyses, coinfected patients had a 2.7-fold increased hazard of severe LEEs (95% CI 1.03, 7.04). 60% of severe abnormalities occurred within 6 months after starting raltegravir; the drug was discontinued in 3 (1.3%) coinfected patients and 18 (6.2%) monoinfected patients. Conclusions Compared with HIV-monoinfected patients, those with HIV–hepatitis coinfection are at increased hazard of developing LEEs on raltegravir, at a level similar to other antiretrovirals. Severe events were uncommon, rarely leading to raltegravir discontinuation. With appropriate monitoring, raltegravir-based therapy is safe in hepatitis-coinfected patients.
Idéologies du développement, enjeux socio-environnementaux et construction de l'aire métropolitaine de Concepción (Chili)
Authors: Aliste Enrique , Di Méo Guy , Guerrero Raùl 
Published: January 2014

En deux siècles et demi, Concepción est passée de la ville coloniale à la quasi-métropolisation. Cette dernière, d’ampleur limitée (aire urbaine de 700 000 à 800 000 habitants), n’en rattache pas moins le Grand Concepción contemporain au marché d’un monde désormais globalisé. Au cours de cette période, quatre formes idéologiques et culturelles des imaginaires du développement se sont succédé dans cette partie méridionale du Chili central : la Frontière coloniale et postcoloniale, la cité industrielle du pôle de développement (visant la substitution des productions nationales aux importations), la région inscrite dans une économie néolibérale imposée et contrôlée par la dictature militaire, la métropole mobile, partiellement convertie au secteur tertiaire et au consumérisme, noyée sous le discours environnementaliste et mystificateur du développement durable que le risque sismique tend ici à exacerber. En utilisant la méthode des formations socio-spatiales, cette recherche s’efforce d’éclairer, à travers le prisme des imaginaires du développement, les logiques de l’édification d’une aire métropolitaine en réseau (mondialisation) qui ne joue qu’un rôle directionnel médiocre pour sa région.
De la pitié à la reconnaissance : identification, distanciation et invisibilisation dans le travail de care et dans les politiques du handicap

Published: January 2014

Cet article propose de discuter certaines perspectives issues des théories du care en croisant trois regards de sociologues et trois terrains d’investigations distincts. Il s’efforce de faire ressortir du croisement de ces travaux de recherche aux théories du care et des disability studies , trois topiques du rapport à l’autre : une topique du care , une topique de la reconnaissance et une topique de la pitié. Elles définissent des espaces relationnels particuliers donnant à voir des figures originales de l’altérité et de la conception du « lien ».
« Ni bolchevisme, ni nazisme, ni fascisme, ni d'autres farces en -isme » Les gendarmes français face à la crise des années trente
Authors: Erviel Jérémiah 
Published: January 2014

Touchés par l’inflation et soumis à de nombreuses frustrations, les gendarmes sont à la recherche d’une identité professionnelle mouvante entre leurs fonctions policières et leurs missions militaires. L’actualité les invite aussi à se positionner face à la montée des extrêmes. Du partisan du gouvernement du Front populaire et du gardien de la République au gendarme xénophobe et à l’admirateur des réalisations de l’Allemagne nazie, un gradient d’attitudes prépare, entre 1936 et 1939, le terrain pour les comportements ultérieurs : attentisme, ralliement au maréchal, collaboration graduée, résistance, passive ou active.
Police, tango et argot : culture policière et culture populaire à Buenos Aires au XX e siècle
Authors: Caimari Lila 
Published: January 2014

À partir de l’analyse d’un corpus d’écrits informels produit par la police de Buenos Aires tout au long du XX e siècle, ce travail analyse la célébration paradoxale d’éléments de la culture populaire, qui constituent, en même temps, un objet de surveillance. La glorification de l’expérience de la rue comme critère de distinction explique, dans un premier temps, le prestige acquis par les savoirs sur le monde « réel ». Ensuite, en prenant l’exemple du tango et du lunfardo , cette étude montre que, pour être efficaces, les langages de la police ont besoin d’établir un lien explicite avec les répertoires associés au monde populaire. Ce lien est obtenu grâce à l’appropriation d’une sélection d’éléments culturels compatibles avec l’univers symbolique policier.
Surmonter pleinement la dichotomie entre la politique et la religion : calculs politico-religieux et politique martiale en France et dans l'Allemagne catholique durant la guerre de Trente Ans
Authors: Tricoire Damien 
Published: January 2014

La recherche sur le thème « religion et politique » au XVII e siècle en France et en Allemagne a connu des avancées considérables ces dernières décennies. Pourtant, les études menées jusqu’ici abordent encore peu ce qui constituait le noyau dur de l’ancienne histoire politique, l’émergence de décisions au caractère impératif pour une collectivité. Les analyses de la politique étrangère à l’époque de la guerre de Trente Ans demeurent largement marquées par le postulat implicite d’une dichotomie entre motifs politiques et motifs religieux, une approche menant à des apories et des anachronismes. En se proposant d’associer les catégories religion et politique par le biais de l’étude du calcul politico-religieux, cet article compte apporter une contribution à la résolution de ces problèmes.
Penser les évolutions des jeux vidéo au prisme des processus de ludicisation
Authors: Genvo Sébastien 
Published: January 2014

Depuis leur apparition, les jeux vidéo n’ont cessé de se transformer, tant dans leurs formes que dans leurs usages, ou encore dans leur vocation (comme le montre l’exemple des serious games ). Dès lors, plutôt que de considérer que les jeux présentent des caractéristiques et des connotations stables et intrinsèques, cette constatation incite à les analyser comme des formes mouvantes, en évolution perpétuelle. L’auteur désigne par le terme de « ludicisation » ces processus, de transformation et d’évolution des formes et pratiques, liés à ce que l’on nomme « jeu » dans une société et à un moment donné. Le propos de cet article est de développer un cadre conceptuel et méthodologique qui permet de penser ce qui fait qu’une situation, un objet sont perçus et actualisés comme un jeu, mais aussi comment ces perceptions évoluent.
Comment le cinéma cite les jeux vidéo
Authors: Bonhomme Bérénice 
Published: January 2014

Entre les jeux vidéo et le cinéma se tissent des rapports nombreux et de plus en plus riches. Les adaptations de films en jeux, mais également de jeux en films sont fréquentes. Plus largement, se développent des phénomènes d’hybridation plus ou moins réussis. Dans ce dialogue, peuvent également s’entendre des traces vidéoludiques avec des expressions telles que « Game Over ». On note, également, la présence récurrente de séquences s’inspirant de, et mimant, les codes des jeux vidéo. Cet article se concentre plus particulièrement sur la façon dont les films citent les jeux vidéo pour mettre au jour l’empreinte du vidéoludique au travers du prisme cinématographique.
L'Antiquité vidéoludique, une résurrection virtuelle ?

L’article s’intéresse à la place, à la mise en scène et à la fonction de références architecturales grecques ou romaines dans des jeux antiquisants ( Age of Empires I, Gates of Troy, CivCity Rome, Caesar IV, Rise of the Argonauts , etc.). Il montre que ce game design n’est pas seulement le cadre de l’intrigue, mais que ces paysages antiques, naturels et architecturaux, fictionnalisés à travers une série de procédés d’amplification, de spectacularisation et de décontextualisation, participent au game play en structurant le jeu.
