Enseignements de l'étude du couloir saalien de la Haute Moselle, à propos de la capture à Toul
Authors: Weisrock André , Taous Ali 
Published: February 2015

Relations belween the Moselle piracy al Toul and the Saalian valley of the Upper Moselle. — Between Epinal and Pont-Saint-Vincent, that is from the Vosges massif to the conséquent valley through the Bajocian cuesta, the Moselle river flows today along its Saalian course. We can find hère an important alluvial accumulation which is cut into two terraces and can be correlated with the maximum extent of the Moselle glacier : « older glaciation », or Saalian.
At Golbey, this accumulation takes the shape of a large proglacial fan, and downstream from Thaon-les-Vosges, of two stepped fluvioglacial terraces.
Thèse morphological bodies show three main internal depositional units. called Fxj. Fx9, Fx. and distinctions are made on the basis of internai sedimentary structures, gra- nuîometry. petrography and morphology of the pebbles. The last unit Fx, corresponds to the lower Saalian terrace which appears after the incision of both Fx : and Fx-,.
It is thought that the « terrasse de la Justice » and the « terrasse d'Ecrouves ». at Toul, corresponding to Fx, and Fx2 deposits respectively, hâve flowed through the « Val de l'Ane ». Then, an overflow caused the course diversion into the Meurthe river and a régressive érosion developed in the earlier valley. After that, the Fx, deposits took place, corresponding to the retreat of the last Saalian ice-sheet.
Use of electronic banking in private households. A case study in the Euregio Maas-Rhine
Authors: Koch Andreas 
Published: February 2015

Electronic retail banking is an instrument for private households to potentially re-organise their traditional banking business — in a space and time and function related dimension. There is an identifiable change of the functional status fo the home sphère by (re-)integrating functions like provision or services in gênerai. A second issue has to l'ocus on the change of relationships of spatial and temporal structures. The impacts of using electronic banking potentials at home or at office are not seen obviously in every case, but there are a lot of possibilities to order allday activités in a dynamic and flexible way. So the attempst to standardize such behaviour statistically will be more and more difficult or senseless, because structural changes are often connected with changes of perception.
Within this theoretical frame there is — first of all — the necessity to conceptualise a term which enables a logic summary of ail the words created by this development (i.e. homebanking, phonebanking, cyberbanking, telebanking). The result of this process is the term pelba (private based e/ectronic banking). It allows both to integrate and specifiy aspects of banking activities by privates.
An empirical survey of these tacts was done in the EUREGIO Maas-Rhine in summer 1995. This EUREGIO is a crossborder institution which consists of parts of the Netherlands (Zuid-Limburg and the city of Maastricht). Belgium (the provinces Limburg (Hasselt) and Liège) and Germany (the city of Aachen and the Landkreise Aachen, Heinsberg, Düren and Euskirchen). Some results related to the use or non-use of pelba which are of geographical interest will be presented in the following.
Integral Points on Elliptic Curves and Explicit Valuations of Division Polynomials
Authors: Stange Katherine E. 
Published: February 2015

AbstractAssuming Lang's conjectured lower bound on the heights of non-torsion points on an elliptic curve, we show that there exists an absolute constantCsuch that for any elliptic curveE/ℚ and non-torsion pointP∈E(ℚ), there is at most one integral multiple [n]Psuch that n >C. The proof is a modification of a proof of Ingram giving an unconditional, but not uniform, bound. The new ingredient is a collection of explicit formulæ for the sequencev(Ψn) of valuations of the division polynomials. ForPof non-singular reduction, such sequences are already well described in most cases, but forPof singular reduction, we are led to define a new class of sequences calledelliptic troublemaker sequences, which measure the failure of the Néron local height to be quadratic. As a corollary in the spirit of a conjecture of Lang and Hall, we obtain a uniform upper bound on ĥ(P)/h(E) for integer points having two large integral multiples.
The Distribution of the First Elementary Divisor of the Reductions of a Generic Drinfeld Module of Arbitrary Rank
Authors: Cojocaru Alina Carmen , Shulman Andrew Michael 
Published: February 2015

AbstractLet ψ be a generic Drinfeld module of rank r ≥ 2. We study the first elementary divisor d1,℘ (ψ) of the reduction of ψ modulo a prime ℘, as ℘ varies. In particular, we prove the existence of the density of the primes ℘ for which d1,℘ (ψ) is fixed. For r = 2, we also study the second elementary divisor (the exponent) of the reduction of ψ modulo ℘ and prove that, on average, it has a large norm. Our work is motivated by J.-P. Serre's study of an elliptic curve analogue of Artin's Primitive Root Conjecture, and, moreover, by refinements to Serre's study developed by the first author and M. R. Murty.

Authors: Torres Carlos Rocha Gomes , da Silva Eduardo Galera , Gomes Ana Paula Martins , Pagani Clovis , Xavier Ana Claudia Carvalho , Kamozaki Maria Beatriz Beber 
Published: February 2015

ABSTRACT

Aim
The aim of this study was to design, develop and compare ultrasound tips with different angulations on time required for cast post removal.

Materials and methods
To test and compare the ultrasonic tips developed, 36 metal patterns were fabricated from tin bars, on a mechanical precision lathe. Each metal pattern simulated an endodontically treated tooth, without coronal remaining, prepared to receive a cast post with 10 mm long. The cast posts were cemented with zinc phosphate cement. The metal patterns with their respective intraradicular posts cemented were stored at 37°C, at relative humidity 100%, for a period of 48 hours. After this period, the specimens were randomly divided into three groups, and each group was submitted to the action of one of the ultrasonic tips (n = 12): G1—tip with 30° angulation; G2—tip with 45° angulation and G3—tip without angulation (straight tip). Each ultrasonic tip was used on the surfaces of the cast posts (mesial, distal, buccal, lingual and incisal) for 5 seconds, at maximum power, until the cast post removal using an ultrasound device (Jet Sonic, Satelec System, Gnatus, Ribeirão Preto, SP, Brazil). The time required for cast posts removal was recorded and the data statistically analyzed by the ANOVA and Tukey tests (p < 0.05).

Results
The means of time evaluated for cast posts removal were G1: 59.25s; G2: 119.0s and G3: 48.4s. Group 2 presented the highest mean value in seconds, differing statistically from G1 and G3. No significant differences were observed between G1 and G3.

Conclusion
It may be concluded that the ultrasonic tip angulation had a direct influence on the time required for cast posts removal by ultrasound. When the different ultrasonic tips were compared, the 30° angulation and the straight tips required a shorter ultrasonic vibration time. All cast posts luted with zinc phosphate were successfully removed in a relatively short time by the different ultrasonic tips analyzed.

Creating Evidence for Practice Using Data-Driven Decision Making
Authors: Schaaf Roseann C. 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
To realize the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Centennial Vision, occupational therapy practitioners must embrace practices that are not only evidence based but also systematic, theoretically grounded, and driven by data related to outcomes. This article presents a framework, the Data-Driven Decision Making (DDDM) process, to guide clinicians’ occupational therapy practice using systematic clinical reasoning with a focus on data. Examples are provided of DDDM in pediatrics and adult rehabilitation to guide practitioners in using data-driven practices to create evidence for occupational therapy.
Comprehensive Social Skills Taxonomy: Development and Application
Authors: Kauffman Nancy A. , Kinnealey Moya 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. We developed a comprehensive social skills taxonomy based on archived children’s social skill goal sheets, and we applied the taxonomy to 6,897 goals of children in 6 diagnostic categories to explore patterns related to diagnosis.
METHOD. We used a grounded theory approach to code and analyze social skill goals and develop the taxonomy. Multivariate analysis of variance and Tukey post hoc honestly significant difference test were used to analyze differences in social skill needs among diagnostic groups.
RESULTS. We developed a taxonomy of 7 social skill constructs or categories, descriptions, and behavioral indicators. The 7 social skill categories were reflected across 6 diagnostic groups, and differences in social skill needs among groups were identified.
CONCLUSION. This comprehensive taxonomy of social skills can be useful in developing research-based individual, group, or institutional programming to improve social skills.
Effectiveness of Use of Button-Operated Electronic Devices Among Persons With Bálint Syndrome
Authors: Sunagawa Kosaku , Nakagawa Yoshitaka , Funayama Michitaka 
Published: February 2015

Abstract
OBJECTIVE. Little is known about how visuospatial deficits affect the use of electronic devices operated by pressing spatially interspersed buttons. This study aimed to determine whether people with Bálint syndrome can effectively use such devices.
METHOD. We quantified the ability of 7 study participants with Bálint syndrome to use button-operated electronic devices by measuring the time required to input digit sequences into three different types of devices. Control groups were 8 participants with amnesia and 8 healthy participants.
RESULTS. Participants with Bálint syndrome took longer to input a digit sequence on all three devices than did those in the two control groups. Although we found no significant differences with respect to type of device, 2 of 3 participants with severe Bálint syndrome were able to input one- to five-digit sequences with the electronic calculator.
CONCLUSION. Distinctive design features might positively affect the performance of people with Bálint syndrome.
Collaboration Between Universities: An effective way of sustaining community-university partnerships?
Authors: Pratt Jonathan , Matthews Steve , Nairne Bruce , Hoult Elizabeth , Ashenden Stuart 
Published: February 2015

This article highlights some of the opportunities and challenges that collaboration between higher education institutions (HEIs) can bring to the development of sustainable community-university partnerships. In particular, it explores the potential for universities to collaborate on building effective engagement mechanisms (such as helpdesks, ‘hub and spoke’ contact models, and research groups to review ideas for activities) that will support an ongoing flow of new projects and partnerships over time. It draws on evidence gathered from the evaluation and coordination of the South East Coastal Communities (SECC) program, an almost unique experiment in collaboration between English universities.

In an ‘age of austerity’, opportunities to reduce costs without damaging core services are of particular interest to public funding bodies. The article suggests that collaboration between universities may be an efficient and effective way of engaging with local communities, but that it is not cost-free, and high-level strategic buy-in within HEIs is required if community-university partnerships are to thrive in the current higher education funding environment.

The article also suggests that there may be a geographic dimension to effective collaboration between universities in both community-university partnership work and the mechanisms that support community engagement. Inter-university collaboration across the whole region covered by the SECC program has been much weaker than collaboration at a subregional level and within ‘city-regions’ in particular. This raises a key question: does the natural geography for effective collaboration between universities need to reflect, at least in part, the geographies of communities themselves, in terms of lived experiences and/or community representation? Such a debate has interesting and timely parallels in the United Kingdom, where the new coalition government is bringing about a fundamental shift in the geography of public administration, with the aim of both increasing democratic accountability and improving the spatial fit between policy interventions and economic and social ‘reality’.

Collaboration, Participation and Technology: The San Joaquin Valley Cumulative Health Impacts Project
Authors: London Jonathan K. , Zagofsky Tara Mirel , Huang Ganlin , Saklar Jenny 
Published: February 2015

Community-university partnerships have been shown to produce significant value for both sets of partners by providing reciprocal learning opportunities, (re)building bonds of trust, and creating unique venues to formulate and apply research that responds to community interests and informs collaborative solutions to community problems. For such partnerships to be mutually empowering, certain design characteristics are necessary. These include mutual respect for different modes and expressions of knowledge, capacity-building for all parties, and an environment that promotes honest and constructive dialogue about the inevitable tensions associated with the interplay of power/knowledge. This article explores an innovative case of community-university partnerships through participatory action research involving a coalition of environmental justice and health advocates, the San Joaquin Valley Cumulative Health Impacts Project, and researchers affiliated with the University of California, Davis. In particular, we examine how participatory GIS and community mapping can promote co-learning and interdependent science.

Ties That Bind: Creating and sustaining community-academic partnerships
Authors: Wright Kynna N. , Williams Pluscinda , Wright Shekinah , Lieber Eli , Carrasco Steven R. , Gedjeyan Haik 
Published: February 2015

Growing interest among academics and health professionals in finding new ways to study and address complex health and social problems has manifested in recent years with increasing community demands for research and program implementation that is community-based, rather than merely community placed. In the United States, community-based participatory research (CBPR), with its emphasis on the creation and use of community-university or community-academic partnerships, is the prevailing paradigm to address these complex problems, especially those concerning racial/ethnic disparities in health and health care. While the need to strengthen the relationship between researchers and the community has been recognised, often from the viewpoint of the university partner, discussions on sustainability of partnerships have been few. The aim of this paper is to share reflections, through the eyes of the community members, on the core elements that tie community and academic members together and the challenges in understanding and nurturing those ties so that the community-academic partnership is sustained over time, and to offer possible recommendations for sustainability. This article speaks from the community’s perspective and reflects on the vital elements/components that tie together community-university partnerships and the challenges that may occur when trying to sustain and grow the partnership. It is based on a research CBPR study that was conducted to (1) evaluate the functioning and future sustainability of the community-university partnership of the Community Child Health Network Study Los Angeles (CCHN-LA) community-university partnership, and (2) evaluate the experience and beliefs of the current CCHN-LA community-university partnership members in their understanding of current functioning.

Impacts of Sustained Institutional Participation in Service-Learning: Perspectives from faculty, staff and administrators
Authors: Vogel Amanda L. , Seifer Sarena D. 
Published: February 2015

The movement for greater civic engagement in higher education in the United States has taken hold across the core academic missions of teaching, research and service. One manifestation of this movement has been growing participation in service-learning, a teaching method grounded in community-university partnerships in which students provide services that simultaneously address community-identified concerns and meet key learning objectives. In order to assess the benefits of long-term sustained institutional involvement in service-learning, in 2007–2008 we interviewed 23 faculty members, staff and administrators from 16 academic institutions that had participated in a national demonstration program for service-learning, which ended in 1998. We found that 15 of these institutions had sustained service-learning to some degree and 12 had integrated service-learning into the curriculum, with varying degrees of institutional support. Interview participants described five main impacts of their institutions’ sustained participation in service-learning: 1) increased community engagement and community-engaged scholarship, and increased valuation of both, among participating faculty members; 2) greater capacity for community-university partnerships among academic and community partners; 3) improved community-university relations; 4) diffusion of service-learning and/or principles of community-university partnerships to other departments and schools; and 5) recruitment of students seeking community engagement opportunities. This study provides evidence that sustained institutional participation in service-learning can foster an understanding of the scholarly value of community-engaged teaching and research among participating faculty, and increase community-engaged activities at participating academic institutions. These findings suggest that funding agencies, faculty members and academic administrators can use service-learning as a strategy to foster a culture of community engagement in higher education institutions.

Finding Sustainability: University-community collaborations focused on arts in health
Authors: White Mike , Robson Mary 
Published: February 2015

This article describes a number of community-based arts in health projects in schools and disadvantaged communities in Northern England that connect with the interdisciplinary research interests of the Centre for Medical Humanities at Durham University (www.dur.ac.uk/cmh). It examines issues about what makes for sustainability in both practice and research of arts in health when operating from a university base and stresses the importance of relationship-based work in health promotion interventions in communities. It attempts to set arts development work in the policy context of how community health has been addressed over the last decade. It provides both practical and metaphorical illustrations of how community cohesion and emotional literacy can be developed and recognised in schools and communities when supported by ethnographic research that is underpinned by theories of social capital, resilience and participatory arts practice. The significance that the artwork can attain as a social gift, with a special meaning for its creators, is examined from an anthropological perspective. Looking historically and comparatively at some longitudinal projects in community-based arts in health, the article assesses what makes for both success and failure in practice, and looks particularly at the significance of the arts in helping to deliver strategies for improving child health and education. In a strategic development context, explanation is given of several strands of university-community collaboration in arts in health, with interlinked project examples drawn from Tyneside and West Yorkshire. Finally, the article looks at the prospects for sustaining arts in health within the coming transfer of the public health function to local government.

Community monitoring: A strategy to watch out for
Authors: Shrivastava Saurabh RamBihariLal , Shrivastava Prateek Saurabh , Ramasamy Jegadeesh 
Published: February 2015

India’s National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) was launched in 2005 on a nationwide scale with a vision to provide universal access to equitable, affordable and quality health care. In particular, it aims to meet the health needs of the poor and vulnerable in mostly rural areas, such as women, children and the elderly. The Mission is distinguished by in-built flexible mechanisms, so that local needs and priorities can be identified and addressed and local initiatives promoted. Central to these mechanisms is the role of community ownership and participation in management, which is seen as an important prerequisite within the NRHM.
This article explores the development and use of community-based monitoring (CBM), which involves drawing in, activating, motivating and capacity building so that the community and its representatives can directly give feedback about the functioning of public health services, including input to improving planning of those services. The focus of this monitoring process is mainly on ‘fact finding’ and ‘learning lessons for improvement' rather than on ‘fault finding’. This article describes the objectives and stages of CBM and also discusses its current status and challenges. The most important reasons for the success of CBM are strong civil society engagement, the involvement of public health personnel as well as the community as principal stakeholders, adequate geographic representation and the crucial role played by the Monitoring and Planning Committees.
Community-based monitoring of health services is a key strategy of the NRHM to ensure that services reach those for whom they are intended. This framework is consistent with the ‘Right to Health Care’ approach since it places health rights of the community at the centre of the process. It also seeks to address gaps in the implementation of various programs, thereby enhancing transparency down to the grassroots level.
