Lire le social à travers le théâtre, lire le théâtre à travers le social : les représentations théâtrales du (monde du) travail en France aujourd’hui, entre sociologie critique et sociologie esthétique de la critique
Authors: Hamidi-Kim Bérénice 
Published: July 2013

Inspiré par le cadre d’une réflexion collective sur ce que pourrait être une sociocritique du théâtre, l’enjeu de cet article est de proposer une réflexion connexe qui se fixe pour objectif, partant d’une caractérisation assez souple de cette façon d’approcher les objets artistiques selon une démarche plus largement sociologique, de formuler un certain nombre d’hypothèses sur un objet d’étude – la façon dont le théâtre représente le travail et le monde du travail en France aujourd’hui – et sur le geste d’analyse qu’il implique. Située à la croisée de l’esthétique et du social, d’un geste scientifique et d’un geste politique, la proposition critique consiste, dans un mouvement de balancier, à « lire le social à travers le théâtre » tout autant qu’à « lire le théâtre à travers le social ».

IntroductionResearch investigating HIV, neurocognition and ageing is well developed using neuropsychometric or other quantitative approaches; however, little is known about individuals’ subjective experiences. The purpose of this article is to explore the experiences of men aged 50 and older who self‐identify as having HIV‐associated neurocognitive challenges. In particular, this study uses the Episodic Disability Framework (EDF) to explore participants’ perceptions regarding: 1) symptoms/impairments, difficulties with day‐to‐day activities, challenges with social inclusion and uncertainty; 2) ageing as related to their HIV‐associated neurocognitive challenges, and 3) the episodic nature of their HIV‐associated neurocognitive challenges.MethodsThis qualitative, interpretive study involved in‐depth, semi‐structured interviews with 12 men aged 50 years and older who self‐identified as having HIV‐associated neurocognitive challenges. Participants were recruited from a neurobehavioural research unit (NBRU) at a large hospital in Toronto, Canada. Data were analyzed thematically and with reference to the EDF.ResultsParticipants’ experiences reflected all concepts within the EDF to some extent. Difficulties with daily activities were diverse but were addressed using similar living strategies. Participants described challenges with work and social relationships resulting from neurocognitive challenges. Participants downplayed the significance of uncertainty in their lives, which they attributed to effective living strategies. Most men reported confusion regarding the link between their neurocognitive challenges and ageing. Others discussed ageing as an asset that helped with coping.ConclusionsThis is the first study to use a disability framework to examine the subjective experiences of men ageing with HIV‐associated neurocognitive challenges. Findings reframe the episodic disability experienced by these individuals as being predictably linked to certain triggers. As such, support for managing neurocognitive challenges could focus on triggers that exacerbate the condition in addition to the impairments themselves. The study also describes ageing as not only a source of problems but also as an asset among men growing older with HIV.
Social science in the era of big data
Authors: González‐Bailón Sandra 
Published: July 2013

AbstractDigital technologies keep track of everything we do and say while we are online, and we spend online an increasing portion of our time. Databases hidden behind web services and applications are constantly fed with information of our movements and communication patterns, and a significant dimension of our lives, quantified to unprecedented levels, gets stored in those vast online repositories. This article considers some of the implications of this torrent of data for social science research, and for the types of questions we can ask of the world we inhabit. The goal of the article is twofold: to explain why, in spite of all the data, theory still matters to build credible stories of what the data reveal; and to show how this allows social scientists to revisit old questions at the intersection of new technologies and disciplinary approaches. The article also considers how Big Data research can transform policymaking, with a focus on how it can help us improve communication and governance in policy‐relevant domains.
Psephological investigations: Tweets, votes, and unknown unknowns in the republican nomination process
Authors: Jensen Michael J. , Anstead Nick 
Published: July 2013

AbstractThis paper analyzes the utility of using information contained within Twitter posts in predicting electoral outcomes. Particularly, we are interested in patterns in Twitter communications that can help explain differences between published opinion polls and the actual vote. We consider three categories of models. The first is a mentions model that examines the correspondence between the prevalence of communications about a candidate and electoral outcomes. The second series of models treat Twitter similar to a prediction market, aggregating not candidate preferences but predictions of the electoral result. Last, we consider whether the rediffusion of tweets about a candidate is a reliable predictor of the candidate's performance. The results find inconsistent support for the predictive value of Twitter mentions as an estimate of the overall vote, but these communications provide some evidence of otherwise undetected shifts in momentum with respect to the aggregated predictions of candidate performance and message rediffusion via retweets containing information about a particular candidate. Given the nature of the information extractable, these data are most sensitive to detecting changes in momentum.
Big data  + politics = open data: The case of health care data in England
Authors: Keen Justin , Calinescu Radu , Paige Richard , Rooksby John 
Published: July 2013

AbstractThere is a great deal of enthusiasm about the prospects for Big Data held in health care systems around the world. Health care appears to offer the ideal combination of circumstances for its exploitation, with a need to improve productivity on the one hand and the availability of data that can be used to identify opportunities for improvement on the other. The enthusiasm rests on two assumptions. First, that the data sets held by hospitals and other organizations, and the technological infrastructure needed for their acquisition, storage, and manipulation, are up to the task. Second, that organizations outside health care systems will be able to access detailed datasets. We argue that both assumptions can be challenged. The article uses the example of the National Health Service in England to identify data, technology, and information governance challenges. The public acceptability of third party access to detailed health care datasets is, at best, unclear.

Published: July 2013

AbstractAggression pervades modern life. To understand the root causes of aggression, researchers have developed several methods to assess aggressive inclinations. The current article introduces a new behavioral method—the voodoo doll task (VDT)—that offers a reliable and valid trait and state measure of aggressive inclinations across settings and relationship contexts. Drawing on theory and research on the law of similarity and magical beliefs (Rozin, Millman, & Nemeroff [1986], Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 50, 703−712), we propose that people transfer characteristics of a person onto a voodoo doll representing that person. As a result, causing harm to a voodoo doll by stabbing it with pins may have important psychological similarities to causing actual harm to the person the voodoo doll represents. Nine methodologically diverse studies (total N = 1,376) showed that the VDT had strong reliability, construct validity, and convergent validity. Discussion centers on the importance of magical beliefs in understanding the causes of aggressive inclinations. Aggr. Behav. 39:419–439, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Testing predictions from the male control theory of men's partner violence
Authors: Bates Elizabeth A. , Graham‐Kevan Nicola , Archer John 
Published: July 2013

AbstractThe aim of this study was to test predictions from the male control theory of intimate partner violence (IPV) and Johnson's [Johnson, M. P. (1995).Journal of Marriage and the Family, 57, 282–294] typology. A student sample (N = 1,104) reported on their use of physical aggression and controlling behavior, to partners and to same‐sex non‐intimates. Contrary to the male control theory, women were found to be more physically aggressive to their partners than men were, and the reverse pattern was found for aggression to same‐sex non‐intimates. Furthermore, there were no substantial sex differences in controlling behavior, which significantly predicted physical aggression in both sexes. IPV was found to be associated with physical aggression to same‐sex non‐intimates, thereby demonstrating a link with aggression outside the family. Using Johnson's typology, women were more likely than men to be classed as “intimate terrorists,” which was counter to earlier findings. Overall, these results do not support the male control theory of IPV. Instead, they fit the view that IPV does not have a special etiology, and is better studied within the context of other forms of aggression. Aggr.

AbstractFluorescent nanodiamond (FND) is attracting much attention as a bioimaging agent because of its inherent biocompatibility and superior optical properties (e.g., excellent photostability and far‐red emission). However, for practical use in life science research, some issues such as higher brightness and ease of bioconjugation have to be solved. Here, it is shown that the 100‐nm FND particles fabricated by using nitrogen‐rich type Ib diamonds and high‐energy proton irradiation are highly fluorescent and readily functionalizable with proteins for biological applications. In the first approach, acid‐treated FND is noncovalently coated with glycoproteins or neoglycoproteins (i.e., proteins chemically modified with multiple sugar residues) for targeting hepatocytes via carbohydrate receptors. In the second approach, FND is first PEGylated and then covalently conjugated with streptavidin, to which biotin‐labeled antibodies of interest are linked. High targeting specificity of the bioconjugated FND is demonstrated with the human hepatoma cell line, HepG2, and breast cancer cell lines, ASB145‐1R, MCF‐7, and MDA‐MB‐231 cells. These approaches should be widely applicable to a variety of situations for specific targeting and labeling of cells.

AbstractA new type of metabolizable and efficient radiosensitizers for cancer radiotherapy is presented by combining ultrasmall Au nanoclusters (NCs, <2 nm) with biocompatible coating ligands (glutathione, GSH). The new nanoconstruct (GSH‐coated Au25 NCs) inherits attractive features of both the Au core (strong radiosensitizing effect) and GSH shell (good biocompatibility). It can preferentially accumulate in tumor via the improved EPR effect, which leads to strong enhancement for cancer radiotherapy. After the treatment, the small‐sized GSH‐Au25 NCs can be efficiently cleared by the kidney, minimizing any potential side effects due to the accumulation of Au25 NCs in the body.
Elastomeric Coating of Exfoliated Graphite Nanoplatelets with Amine‐Terminated Poly(butadiene‐co‐acrylonitrile): Characterization and Its Epoxy Toughening Effect
Authors: Cho Donghwan , Hwang Jeong Hyeon 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTIn the present study, exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (EGN), which were prepared by means of microwave and ultrasonic processes from graphite intercalation compounds, were coated with a liquid rubber amine‐terminated poly(butadiene‐co‐acrylonitrile) (ATBN) at various concentrations via ultrasonic and deep‐freezing methods. The presence of ATBN coating on EGN particles was characterized by using multiple analytical tools such as X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy, elemental analysis, X‐ray diffractometer, thermogravimetric analyzer, and scanning electron microscope. The level of ATBN coating of the EGN particles strongly depended on the coating concentration, and it was clearly demonstrated. The characterization results were consistent with each other, indicating that the elastomeric coating of EGN with ATBN was performed successfully. The 1 wt% EGN coated with 10 wt% ATBN incorporated into epoxy increased the toughness of epoxy by 18%. It turns out that the elastomeric coating of EGN with ATBN effectively contributed to toughen epoxy with a very small amount of 0.1 wt% ATBN compared to the epoxy. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTThe preparation of polystyrene/MCM‐41 nanocomposites was carried out by “grafting from” and “grafting through” approaches and in the presence of unmodified MCM‐41, using reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. The MCM‐41 was modified by attaching S‐dodecyl‐S′‐(α,α′‐dimethyl‐α′′‐acetic acid)trithiocarbonate (DDMAT) as the RAFT agent and methacrylate group using 3‐methacryloxypropyldimethylchlorosilane. The kinetics of styrene RAFT polymerization by different approaches was compared with the model polymerization mediated by free DDMAT. The quantity of the grafted chain grown from the surface and inside of the pores of MCM‐41 and free polymer chains in bulk was determined by thermogravimetric analysis. The molecular weight of the produced polymer chains increased linearly with the monomer conversion for three methods. The gel permeation chromatography showed that the molecular weight of grafted and free polymer chains in the “grafting from” approach is higher than other methods, and molecular weight distributions were relatively narrower whereas the rate of polymerization for “grafting from” was higher. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTA novel hyperbranched multiarm star block copolymers was synthesized. The atom transfer radical polymerization initiators were anchored on the surfaces by the reaction of amino‐functionalized silica modified by 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane with α‐bromoisobutyryl bromide. The composites (SNs‐g‐HPCMS‐b‐PHEMA‐b‐PNIPAAm) with silica nano particles as core and hyperbranched star block copolymers as arms was prepared by iron(III)‐mediated surface‐initiated polymerization with FeCl3·6H2O as catalyst, triphenylphosphine as ligand, ascorbic acid as reducing agent, N,N‐dimethylformamide as solvent, and 4‐chloromethylstyrene, 2‐hydroxyethylmethacrylate, and N‐isopropylacrylaminde as monomers, respectively. The resultant products were characterized by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy, N2 adsorption/desorption measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimeter, and transmission electron micrographs. With aspirin as the model drug, the drug‐release behavior of the hybrid materials was studied. The release behavior could be controlled by the temperature, which will have potential applications in biomedicine and biotechnology. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Thermal aging of bentonite‐filled ethylene propylene diene monomer composites
Authors: Muniyadi Mathialagan , Ismail Hanafi 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTBentonite‐filled ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM/Bt) composites were prepared using two roll mill compounding method and the effect of Bt loading on the thermal aging, swelling resistance and crosslink density of EPDM/Bt composites were studied. The effect of in situ addition of different silane coupling agents (SCAs) on the above properties at optimum Bt loading of EPDM/Bt composite was also investigated. Thermal aging test results show that the tensile strength and tensile modulus at 100% elongation (M100) increase initially for 2 days aged composites and decrease slightly after 4 days of aging, meanwhile the elongation at break (Eb) decrease gradually with aging period as compared to the unaged composites. Upon aging, swelling resistance increase initially indicating increased crosslink density of EPDM/Bt composite due to post‐curing and reduced after 4 days of aging due to crosslink destruction and EPDM chain scissioning. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

ATP‐driven molecular chaperone machines
Authors: Clare Daniel K. , Saibil Helen R. 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTThis review is focused on the mechanisms by which ATP binding and hydrolysis drive chaperone machines assisting protein folding and unfolding. A survey of the key, general chaperone systems Hsp70 and Hsp90, and the unfoldase Hsp100 is followed by a focus on the Hsp60 chaperonin machine which is understood in most detail. Cryo‐electron microscopy analysis of the E. coli Hsp60 GroEL reveals intermediate conformations in the ATPase cycle and in substrate folding. These structures suggest a mechanism by which GroEL can forcefully unfold and then encapsulate substrates for subsequent folding in isolation from all other binding surfaces. © 2013 The Authors.

Relationship Between Sustainable Development and Financial Performance: International Empirical Research
Authors: Martínez‐Ferrero Jennifer , Frías‐Aceituno José Valeriano 
Published: July 2013

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to clarify the relationship between companies' sustainable behavior and their financial performance (FP), which has been studied for several years without reaching a consensus on the effect and the direction of it. Hypotheses are tested for an unbalanced sample of 1960 multinational non‐financial listed companies from 25 countries and one administrative region for the period between 2002 and 2010. Due to the use of an international database and the differences among countries, it is possible to observe divergence between institutional settings. For this reason, a corporate governance system (Anglo‐Saxon, Germanic, Latin and Asian) is used as characteristic of the macro‐environment. Results obtained via the generalized method of moments estimator allow us to support the existence of a positive bidirectional relationship between corporate social responsibility and FP, evidencing the existence of a synergistic circle. The use of market value indicated that investors are able to identify economic, social and environmental practices generating a positive effect on FP. These relationships differ between corporate governance systems, due to the specific characteristics of each system. Findings are robust for each sustainable sub‐index (society, human rights, environmental and board). Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment
Input, Output, and Environmental Management Productivity: Effects on Firm Performance
Authors: Lannelongue Gustavo , Gonzalez‐Benito Javier , Gonzalez‐Benito Oscar 
Published: July 2013

AbstractFirms invest considerable resources to control any of their operations that may have environmental impacts in an attempt to reduce such impacts but also generate economic value. Various studies of the basic creation or destruction of monetary value through environmental performance offer contradictory evidence. Therefore, the present study proposes a new definition of environmental management as the transformation of inputs (resources assigned) into outputs (valuable results). Both inputs and outputs should be taken into account to explain financial outcomes; further consideration should also include a third aspect, namely, ‘environmental management productivity’, which describes the relationship between the outputs and inputs of environmental management. Empirical analyses of Spanish firms with a certified environmental management system subject to the European Union's CO2 emissions trading system provide evidence that all three aspects must be considered in combination to achieve a more comprehensive view of the impact of environmental management on financial performance.
