Objective.To evaluate response rates in an adult lupus nephritis (LN) cohort in Mexico City, Mexico.Methods.We analyzed 165 patients with biopsy-proven LN histological International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society classes III, IV, or V, distributed by treatment drug in 3 groups: mycophenolate mofetil (MMF; dosage > 2 g/day per 6 mos, n = 63), intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVC; 0.7 g/m2 body surface area monthly per 6 pulses, n = 66), or azathioprine (AZA; dosage > 1.5 mg/kg/day per 6 mos, n = 36). Median followup was 31 ± 18 months. The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving complete renal response (CR). Secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients achieving renal response (complete or partial), renal flare–free survival, doubling of serum creatinine, and progression to endstage renal disease (ESRD).Results.MMF induction was superior to IVC (HR 2.00, 95% CI 1.23–3.25, p = 0.005) and AZA (HR 2.12, 95% CI 1.23–3.66, p = 0.007) in the primary endpoint. Censored CR rates at 6, 12, 24, and 36 months were 32.6%, 56.1%, 76.6%, and 94.1% for MMF; 24.2%, 34.4%, 57.9%, and 62.1% for IVC; and 8.4%, 39.8%, 49.7%, and 49.7% for AZA. MMF was also superior in renal response to treatment and renal flare–free survival outcomes. There were no differences between groups in doubling of serum creatinine or progression to ESRD. The induction treatment with MMF (HR 2.04, 95% CI 1.25–3.33, p = 0.005) and absence of vascular lesions on renal biopsy (HR 2.05, 95% CI 1.25–3.37, p = 0.004) were associated with CR, whereas proteinuria at the time of presentation was negatively associated with CR (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.84–0.98, p = 0.013).Conclusion.MMF induction therapy is superior to IVC and AZA in patients with LN of Mexican-mestizo race.
Mythologie de l’urbain diffus
Authors: Berque Augustin 
Published: September 2015

L’article établit la généalogie des mythes qui, en Orient comme en Occident, ont conduit à l’idéalisation de la maison individuelle au plus près de la nature, et ainsi engendré une forme d’habitat insoutenable – non durable écologiquement et injustifiable moralement – : l’urbain diffus.
Habiter Cheonggyecheon : l’exception ordinaire
Authors: Lévy Jacques 
Published: September 2015

Que peut bien nous dire un lieu rencontré par hasard et parcouru comme le ferait n’importe quel habitant, permanent ou éphémère ? Cheongggyecheon, une petite rivière naguère transformée en égout et surmontée d’un viaduc autoroutier et devenue en 2005 en un des espaces publics les plus populaires de Séoul, mérite d'être observé comme une opération d’urbanisme caractéristique des nouvelles manières de produire de l’urbanité. Cet urbanisme d’acteurs – et non plus d’auteurs – est mondial mais, en chaque lieu de son action, sa singularité s’impose. Il vise à rendre compatible la liberté des acteurs et la valorisation des environnements, les spatialités et les espaces. Il constitue une expression forte des enjeux de l’habiter, qui apparaît à travers cet exemple et les pratiques de l’urbanisme comme un concept central de la géographicité contemporaine.
D’une catastrophe subjective dans la fonction publique
Authors: Fleury Emmanuel 
Published: September 2015

Dans la fonction publique, l’agent met son savoir à la disposition de l’institution et contribue à la servir. Cela structure son discours et soutient sa position au travail, soit son rapport à l’Autre quant à son désir qui le garantit en retour. Mais, s’il doit quitter cette position, les effets de « désaffection » ne se font pas attendre, parfois de façon dramatique. En effet, quand une institution se met à évaluer son agent, elle menace de ce fait l’illusion dans laquelle l’agent croyait pouvoir rester indéfectiblement « employé ». L’histoire d’Henri nous en apporte le témoignage.
Humiliés et offensés : une critique ordinaire du travail
Authors: Huët Romain , Sarrouy Olivier 
Published: September 2015

Cet article voudrait susciter une réflexion sur la « critique ordinaire » de la souffrance au travail. Il s’agira, à partir d’une observation de cinq ans au sein d’une association de prévention contre le suicide, et de l’étude de plusieurs centaines de conversations entre des « malheureux » et des bénévoles de cette association, de dégager les manières dont des « individus ordinaires » qualifient leur propre souffrance et considèrent leurs activités de travail comme une cause spécifique de leur précarité psychologique et sociale.

Hystérie ou psychose ? Le problème du diagnostic se pose de façon cruciale pour l’équipe soignante dans le cas de Madame W., hospitalisée pour une très grave dépression. Or le discours de la patiente – le fil rouge de l’analyste – permet d’écarter le diagnostic de l’hystérie et met en évidence chez la patiente le déclenchement tardif d’une mélancolie délirante.
Le contre-transfert dans In Treatment

Est-ce que montrer la psychanalyse aujourd’hui implique d’aller à l’opposé de ce qu’on en a montré hier parce que cette image était devenue inacceptable ? Est-ce que en revanche ces tentatives avec leurs maladresses ne nous restituent pas quelque chose du mouvement de l’analyse, c’est-à-dire de son incertitude comme moteur d’une quête à renouveler ? On analyse ici la série In Treatment , traduite par En analyse qui semble donner de la psychanalyse une image globalement positive bien qu’au prix de distorsions qu’il convient de rappeler.
Operative Management Options for Traumatic Anterior Shoulder Instability in Patients Younger Than 30 Years
Authors: Davis Daniel E. , Abboud Joseph A. 
Published: September 2015

Educational Objectives

As a result of reading this article, physicians should be able to:

1.
Discuss the evaluation of the young patient with an instability event.

2.
Describe the injury patterns and pathology leading to anterior shoulder instability.

3.
Explain the operative options for shoulder instability based on the pathology.

4.
Formulate a postoperative protocol for patients undergoing operative treatment of instability.

Anterior instability of the glenohumeral joint is a relatively common problem in the young population. Identification and treatment is essential to reduce the risk of recurrent instability, whether that is re-dislocation or subluxation events. Non-operative treatment for first-time dislocations was the classic option; however, a relatively high rate of recurrent dislocations has led to earlier operative management in some cases. Surgical treatment through either an open or arthroscopic approach has continued to be an area of research and debate. The decision depends partly on the exact etiology of the instability and the extent of soft tissue or bony deficiency. As arthroscopic techniques and experience improve, surgical procedures for arthroscopic anterior shoulder instability continue to evolve. This review serves as an in-depth overview of the treatment options for traumatic anterior shoulder instability in the patient younger than 30 years, generally focusing on non-rotator cuff–associated etiologies for recurrent instability.

Abstract
Abraham Verghese's My Own Country demonstrates the density and complexity of the entangled relationship between racial identity and professional identity in the sensitive context of the AIDS epidemic. Verghese appropriates the model minority myth to interpret his own lived experience as a foreign doctor in the early stage of the epidemic. Verghese's narrative addresses the double bind accompanying the model minority myth: the acknowledgment of a “minority” status, or rather his otherness in order to fit into the rubrics of the model minority myth; and the desire for acceptance as a full-fledged member of the Southern society, which inevitably leads to his resistance or denial of his minority status. Verghese's horizontal affiliation with the hidden “problem community” of gay men and those suffering from AIDS and the eventual collapse of this affiliation lead him to recognize that there is no essential difference between the “model minority” and “problem minority” within the dominant hegemonies of whiteness, heterosexuality and healthiness.

Public administration as a discipline? Dutch public administration scholars compared to their European colleagues
As long as the existence of public administration, there is discussion whether public administration should focus on practice or mainly be a purely scientific field. Opinions of public administration scholars are divided on the matter. Moreover, the question is whether public administration is a discipline in itself or part of other disciplines such as political science, law or the management sciences. This article shows how public administration scholars see the discipline and the developments therein, based on a survey among scholars. Dutch public administration scholars are compared with their European colleagues. There are major differences between the Netherlands and the rest of Europe with regard to the status of the discipline. Firstly, as a separate discipline, public administration in the Netherlands is more important in comparison with other European countries. In the rest of Europe, in particular political sciences play an important role. Secondly, regarding the tension within the discipline, the public administration in the Netherlands is developing less towards practitioners than public administration in other European countries.
Mezinárodní výzkum kompetencí dospělých PIAAC: hlavní zjištění a implikace pro vzdělávací politiku
Authors: Straková Jana , Veselý Arnošt 
Published: September 2015

Cílem této přehledové studie je představit výzkum PIAAC, shrnout základní zjištění z tohoto výzkumu z hlediska České republiky a diskutovat možné implikace pro vzdělávací politiku. Zároveň rozebíráme, jak výsledky výzkumu PIAAC doplňují poznatky získané z výzkumu PISA, TIMSS a dalších. Klademe si přitom otázku, zda (a co) přináší nad rámec těchto výzkumů. V první části studie je popsána metodologie a základní charakteristika výzkumu PIAAC. Ve druhé části popisujeme výsledky českých dospělých v mezinárodním srovnání. Ve třetí části vybíráme některá zásadní zjištění výzkumu PIAAC. V závěrečné části pak diskutujeme implikace těchto zjištění pro nastavení vzdělávací politiky. Výzkum PIAAC potvrdil některá zjištění z předcházejících výzkumů PISA a TIMSS, například vysokou míru podmíněnosti kompetencí socioekonomickým statusem v České republice. Jiné závěry z těchto výzkumů ovšem nepotvrdil. Ukázalo se například, že výsledky mladých Češek a Čechů ve věku 16–25 let (kam spadá kohorta z výzkumů TIMSS 2007 a PISA 2009) jsou spíše nadprůměrné. Výzkum PIAAC je důležitým a nepostradatelným doplňkem výzkumů, zkoumajících kompetence žákovské populace. Ačkoli s výsledky z výzkumů PISA nebo TIMSS se často pracuje jako s definitivním ukazatelem gramotnosti a lidského kapitálu dané země, výzkum PIAAC ukázal, že v 15 letech zdaleka nejsou kompetence definitivně zformovány.
Důraz školy na akademický úspěch: TIMSS 2011 jako sonda do reformy v České republice
Authors: Dvořák Dominik 
Published: September 2015

V šetření TIMSS 2011 se objevil index nazvaný „důraz školy na studijní úspěch“ (SEAS). Cílem článku je osvětlit skutečnost, že české školy vykazují poměrně nápadné hodnoty tohoto indexu. Dále pomocí SEAS analyzuje vztah mezi postoji českých škol k reformě a znalostmi a dovednostmi jejich žáků. Teoretický úvod popisuje konstrukt akademický optimismus a index SEAS zavedený v šetření TIMSS. Následně je provedena explorativní sekundární analýza dat o úrovni složek SEAS v případě českých škol se zaměřením na nápadné odchylky hodnot. Práce vychází z výsledků žáků čtvrtých ročníků v matematickém testu TIMSS 2011 a z odpovídajících učitelských a ředitelských dotazníků. Pro analýzu vztahů v datech jsou použity základní prostředky popisné a inferenční statistiky. Zjištění ukazují na disproporčně nízkou důvěru ředitelů ve snahu žáků ve škole dobře prospívat, která je společná regionálnímu klastru zemí. Dále analýza přinesla nečekaná zjištění o vztahu mezi postoji ředitelů a učitelů ke kurikulární reformě a výsledky jejich žáků v matematice. Z literatury známá i naše původní zjištění o komponentách indexu SEAS v podmínkách českých škol přinášejí zajímavé pohledy mj. na vnímání reformních procesů v českých školách a doplňují tak literaturu o implementaci, resp. recepci reformy.

Desde el medievo hasta nuestros días, no han cesado los argumentosa favor y en contra de la agregación de Treviño a la provincia alavesa.Así, el presente trabajo analiza los diferentes argumentos parlamentariosy jurisprudenciales desde su perspectiva histórico-política, conla finalidad de dilucidar la adecuación de los mismos al ordenamiento constitucional y estatutario aplicable a dicho supuesto. Así, será preciso realizar una crítica acerca de los problemas de algunas hipótesis planteadas y aportar una posible solución que permita poner fin a un contencioso que aparenta visos de perpetuidad. Abstract:From the Middle Ages to the present day, arguments in favour andagainst the addition of Treviño to the Spanish province of Álava havenot stopped. Thus, this paper examines the different parliamentaryand judicial arguments from their historical and political perspectivein order to elucidate their adaptation to the constitutional andstatutory system applicable to such case. So, it will be necessary tomake a review of the problems that some of the suggested hypothesishave and to offer a possible solution that brings an end to a seeminglyendless conflict.
Construcciones y experiencias de la infancia en un contexto migratorio: el caso de los alemanes en México (1900-1933)
Authors: Durán-Merk Alma 
Published: September 2015

Por mucho tiempo, buena parte del trabajo académico y de las narrativas populares transmitieron la imagen de que la experiencia de ser un niño de orígenes alemanes creciendo en México era equivalente a una infancia privilegiada, pero, al mismo tiempo, aislada de la sociedad receptora. Esta contribución considera esas construcciones y experiencias de la niñez, al mismo tiempo que las compara con las de otros 114 casos, provenientes de 72 familias, que fueron compilados para este objetivo en una base de datos. En ese proceso, se da visibilidad a otras vivencias de la infancia que hasta ahora no han sido discutidas. En este análisis etno-histórico, se reflexiona sobre los diversos contextos socioeconómicos que generan variadas formas de experimentar la infancia. Se proporciona información sobre las maneras en que aquellos menores se relacionaron con la sociedad de acogida, sobre las relaciones transnacionales que cultivaron o no, y sobre lo que podría haber motivado a sus padres a continuar, o descartar, ciertas prácticas culturales. Los resultados indican que, en lo que respecta a la mayoría de los descendientes de alemanes en México durante el tiempo estudiado, no es posible hablar de una separación casi total de la sociedad receptora; en vez de eso, diversas estrategias de aculturación fueron identificadas. Se demuestra, al mismo tiempo, que la ascendencia extranjera no necesariamente va mano en mano con una infancia transnacional, sino que depende de varios factores que se intenta identificar.

Infancia y diáspora: dos escritoras cubanas cuentan sus vidas
Authors: Gremels Andrea 
Published: September 2015

Con el enfoque en las representaciones literarias de la infancia, este artículo reflexiona sobre la memoria colectiva cubana en su dimensión transnacional y diaspórica. A partir del año 1959, la sociedad cubana está marcada por numerosas oleadas migratorias al curso de la revolución cubana y la formación de un estado socialista. Desde que el régimen castrista se dirigió hacia una ideología rígida, muchos cubanos han vivido una desilusión con las esperanzas revolucionarias. La reflexión sobre una isla en el proceso de volverse un espacio recluido en vez de liberado es un tema recurrente en la literatura cubana contemporánea. En el marco de una lectura comparativa, se analiza Todos se van (2006), de Wendy Guerra, y El mañana: memorias de un éxodo cubano (2006), escrita por la periodista Mirta Ojito, que vive en los Estados Unidos. Estas novelas autobiográficas muestran como se entrelazan la reconstrucción narrativa de la infancia con el momento histórico de una diasporización creciente de la sociedad cubana en los años 70. Las escritoras cubanas no sólo reconstruyen el mundo perdido de su infancia, sino también tratan de recuperar la(s) historia(s) de una nación diseminada en el mundo.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)

Published: September 2015

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is a method of wirelessly transferring data between transceiver and transponder, where the transponder (tag) is attached to any object one may need to identify. These objects may be either living or inanimate and via the attached transponder can carry customized data, an approach that is core to the functioning of these systems. This facilitates its ability to provide unique ID (serialization) to each individual item making RFID technology one of the most popular and widely adopted auto ID technologies to date.RFID has been successfully used to track, trace, locate, and identify many objects and offers a new approach to asset traceability/visibility. RFID has been successfully integrated across a wide variety of industries including animal identification, pharmaceutical, building access control, toll collection, vehicle immobilization systems, aviation industry, waste management, and mining industries (C.‐C. Chao, J.‐M. Yang, and W.‐Y. Jen. Determining Technology Trends and Forecasts of RFID by a Historical Review and Bibliometric Analysis from 1991 to 2005.Technovation2007, 27, pp 268–279; E.

Secur. 2006, 25, pp 18–26). Its ability to wirelessly transfer data offers many operational advantages over the conventional barcode.

This article summaries the theory and application of DMA to thermoplastics, rubber, thermosets, and composites.
Which is the better proxy for paleo‐current strength: Sortable‐silt mean size () or sortable‐silt mean grain diameter (dSS)? A case study from the Nordic Seas
Authors: Tegzes Andrea D. , Jansen Eystein , Telford Richard J. 
Published: September 2015

AbstractThe coarseness of the 10–63 μm terrigenous silt (i.e., sortable‐silt) fraction tends to vary independently of sediment supply in current‐sorted muds in the world's oceans, with coarser sediments representing relatively greater near‐bottom flow speeds. Traditionally, the coarseness of this size fraction is described using an index called sortable‐silt mean size (
), which is an arithmetic average calculated from the differential volume or mass distribution of grains within the 10–63 μm terrigenous silt fraction, where the relative weights of the individual size bins become increasingly disproportionate, with respect to the actual number of grains within those size bins, toward the coarse end of the size range. This not only increases the absolute value of the apparent “mean size” within the 10–63 μm terrigenous silt fraction, but it may also affect the apparent pattern of relative changes in the coarseness of the sortable‐silt fraction along the core. In addition, it makes
more prone to biases due to, for example, analytical errors. Here we present a detailed analysis of grain‐size distributions over three selected Holocene time intervals from two complementary sediment cores (JM97‐948/2A and MD95‐2011), extracted from the center of a high‐accumulation area along the flow path of the main branch of the Atlantic Inflow into the Nordic Seas and show that differential‐number‐based statistics, which likely better describes variations in the actual coarseness of the sortable‐silt fraction, may provide a more robust alternative to
