Dutch punk with eastern connections: Mapping cultural flows between East and West Europe
Authors: Lohman Kirsty 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
This article provides an understanding of complex cultural flows between Eastern Europe and ‘western’ punk music. This flow is investigated through examples of East–West interactions that take places within the punk subculture in The Netherlands. The article argues that these exchanges complicate the notion of mimesis of ‘the West’ by the rest of the world, whilst highlighting a continued structural inequality in this relationship. In doing so this article builds upon debates that appear in the special edition of Punk and Post-Punk, ‘Punk – but not as we know it: Special issue on punk in post-socialist space’. Drawing on interview data from fieldwork conducted in The Netherlands, the article highlights aspects of cross-cultural exchange: the circulation of political ideas amongst Europe’s left wing, the migration out of Eastern Europe following the fall of communism, and the political economy of punk as illustrated through bands’ touring practices. These aspects are situated within debates around the local/global in a punk scene, centre/periphery inequality in Do It Yourself (DIY) culture, and rhizomic forms of influence within cultural flow.

Abstract

Background: This study tests the hypothesis that the mannose receptor (MR/CD206), which is expressed primarily by macrophages and dendritic cells, can be found in a soluble form (sMR, sMR) in human serum. Furthermore, we wished to establish and validate an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for sMR and to perform initial studies exploring the potential of sMR as a biomarker.

Methods: Western blotting identified a single band of approximately 170 kDa in human serum, and MALDI MS/MS of the purified protein confirmed it to be sMR. An ELISA was established and validated with a measurement range of 1–256 µg/L.

Results: The 95% reference interval was 0.10–0.43 mg/L based on measurements of serum samples from healthy individuals (n=217). Samples from hospitalised patients (n=219) revealed that more than 50% of patients had concentrations above 0.43 mg/L. Very high concentrations (up to 6.2 mg/L) were observed in critically ill patients with sepsis and/or severe liver disease.

Conclusions: This study documents, for the first time, the presence of sMR in human serum and describes an optimised ELISA suitable for quantitative measurements. Levels of sMR are strongly elevated in several disease states, including sepsis and liver disease, and the protein therefore shows promise as a new biomarker.

Published: October 2013

Abstract

Background: India has a heterogeneous geographical location with varying ethnic groups with distinct genetic pools. Polymorphisms R577X and insertion/deletion (I/D), occurring in α-actinin3 (ACTN3) and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) genes, respectively, are reportedly associated with sprint and endurance performance. The normative genetic background of a population provides the baseline genetic diversity of the population.

Methods: We investigated the distribution of R577X and I/D polymorphisms in four Indian ethnic populations employed in the Indian Army that requires high levels of physical fitness. A total of 598 army subjects with four different ethnicities were recruited for the study: Rajputs, South Indians, Gorkhas, and Ladakhis. Genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism followed by statistical analysis.

Results: The present study reports for the first time the genotypic distribution of ACTN3 R577X polymorphism in four ethnic groups of the Indian population with no significant change in distribution of R and X alleles among these groups and their overall percentage bearing similarity with the Caucasian population. ACE I/D polymorphism showed significant differences between Rajputs and Gorkhas, Rajputs and Ladakhis, Gorkhas and South Indians, and South Indians and Ladakhis. Combined genotypic analysis showed the highest frequencies of ID+RX in all ethnic groups.

Conclusions: Our study reports the genetic predominance of ACE I allele in Gorkhas and I allele predominance in Ladakhis for the first time, thus suggesting that they could be better endurance performers. Both these ethnic groups evolved from the Mongolian race and hence could have similar genotypic distribution. This study provides a comparative account of the Indian normative genetic data in performance-related genes.
Hematological profile in neonatal jaundice

Published: October 2013

Abstract

Background: Neonatal morbidity due to neonatal jaundice is an alarming situation, which needs to be detected and managed at the earliest possible. Many different etiologies come into play together, and at times, it is difficult to isolate the cause of neonatal jaundice. Certain diagnostic tests such as hemoglobin levels, reticulocyte count, leukocyte count, and blood grouping might hasten the diagnosis. This study analyzes the different parameters of hematological profile and how they influence the various etiologies of neonatal jaundice.

Methods: One hundred jaundiced neonates admitted to the pediatric care unit of MKCG Medical Hospital, Odisha, were considered as subjects for this study. Blood tests were done, and accordingly, the neonates were grouped into three depending on the leukocyte count, reticulocyte count, and hemoglobin levels. Blood grouping of mother and baby was done to see the pattern of ABO incompatibility.

Results: Physiological jaundice cases showed no significant variations in hematological profile, while jaundice due to ABO incompatibility, septicemia, Rh incompatibility, intracranial hemorrhage, and G6PD deficiency had anemia, reticulocytosis, and leukocytosis.

Conclusions: The results can be used for early and simple investigation method for the diagnosis of neonatal jaundice.
Allelic Diversity and Its Implications for the Rate of Adaptation
Authors: Caballero Armando , García-Dorado Aurora 
Published: October 2013

Abstract
Genetic variation is usually estimated empirically from statistics based on population gene frequencies, but alternative statistics based on allelic diversity (number of allelic types) can provide complementary information. There is a lack of knowledge, however, on the evolutionary implications attached to allelic-diversity measures, particularly in structured populations. In this article we simulated multiple scenarios of single and structured populations in which a quantitative trait subject to stabilizing selection is adapted to different fitness optima. By forcing a global change in the optima we evaluated which diversity variables are more strongly correlated with both short- and long-term adaptation to the new optima. We found that quantitative genetic variance components for the trait and gene-frequency-diversity measures are generally more strongly correlated with short-term response to selection, whereas allelic-diversity measures are more correlated with long-term and total response to selection. Thus, allelic-diversity variables are better predictors of long-term adaptation than gene-frequency variables. This observation is also extended to unlinked neutral markers as a result of the information they convey on the demographic population history. Diffusion approximations for the allelic-diversity measures in a finite island model under the infinite-allele neutral mutation model are also provided.
Efficient Production of Fluorescent Polydiacetylene-Containing Liposomes for Pathogen Detection and Identification

Published: October 2013

ABSTRACTAmphiphilic diacetylenes (DAs) can self-assemble into photopolymerizable liposomes that can be used to construct effective pathogen sensors. Here, modified commercial inkjet printers are used to disperse DAs into water, facilitating self-assembly. The liposomes are of similar size, but are significantly less polydisperse than liposomes formed using conventional sonication methods. The process is efficient, readily scalable and tolerant of structural modification. The derivitization of approximately 5% of the DA head groups and the incorporation of fluorophores into the hydrophobic bilayer allows for the preparation of novel multifluorophore PDA sensing systems that can provide enhanced bacterial discrimination in a single experiment by way of a fluorescent fingerprint.

Authors: Reikerås Olav , Gunderson Ragnhild B. 
Published: October 2013

Purpose:In a prospective manner to evaluate the range of acetabular component anteversion actually achieved by the use of a cup positioner in cementless revision and primary THA.Methods:We operated 71 patients with cementless primary THA, and 26 patients with cementless acetabular revision surgery. We aimed to obtain cup anteversion of 10 to 30° with an impactor-positioner. In all cases we used elevated liners and a ceramic head with diameter 28. At 3 months postoperatively the component versions were measured using CT with the patient in supine position.Results:The acetabular component version in the primary hips ranged from 28° of retroversion to 42° of anteversion with a mean of 17.4 ± 14.0°, while the cup version in the revision hips ranged from 4° of retroversion to 32° of anteversion with a mean of 15.0 ± 9.6°(p=0.427). The anteversion of 40 (56%) of the primary acetabular components were within the target zone of 10 to 30°, while 19 (27%) were below the target zone and and 12 (17%) were above the target range. The anteversion of 19 (73%) of the revision acetabular components were within the target zone, while 6 (23%) were below the target zone and 1 (4%) were above the target range. The differences in distribution between the primary and revision operations were not significant (p=0.183).Conclusions:The intraoperative estimation of acetabular anteversion by free hand technique in many cases was not within the intended range of 10 to 30° in either primary or revision THA and with no differences between the two series
Methodological approaches to infer end-of-winter snow distribution on alpine glaciers

Published: October 2013

AbstractSnow accumulation is an important component of the mass balance of alpine glaciers. To improve our understanding of the processes related to accumulation and their representation in state-of-the-art mass-balance models, extensive field measurements are required. We present measurements of snow accumulation distribution on Findelengletscher, Switzerland, for April 2010 using (1) in situ snow probings, (2) airborne ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and (3) differencing of two airborne light detection and ranging (lidar) digital elevation models (DEMs). Calculating high-resolution snow depth from DEM-differencing requires careful correction for vertical ice-flow velocity and densification in the accumulation area. All three methods reveal a general increase in snow depth with elevation, but also a significant small-scale spatial variability. Lidar-differencing and in situ snow probings show good agreement for the mean specific winter balance (0.72 and 0.78 m w.e., respectively). The lidar-derived distributed snow depth reveals significant zonal correlations with elevation, slope and curvature in a multiple linear regression model. Unlike lidar-differencing, GPR-derived snow depth is not affected by glacier dynamics or firn compaction, but to a smaller degree by snow density and liquid water content. It is thus a valuable independent data source for validation. The simultaneous availability of the three datasets facilitates the comparison of the methods and contributes to a better understanding of processes that govern winter accumulation distribution on alpine glaciers.
Survival of a tertiary relict species, Liriodendron chinense (Magnoliaceae), in southern China, with special reference to village fengshui forests

Published: October 2013

• Premise of the study: We investigate factors supporting the persistence in southern China of a rare Tertiary relict tree species, Liriodendron chinense, which has been almost eliminated by recent land use conversion. We hypothesize that cultural practices and traditional sustainable forest resource uses provide niches for the species’ regeneration that will complement infrequent natural disturbances, while the species’ survival on remote mountain slopes where there are no humans depends on natural disturbances alone.• Methods: We examined and analyzed various landscape contexts, community associations, age distributions, and regeneration patterns of Liriodendron chinense.• Key results: Forest communities containing Liriodendron chinense were of three types: (1) village fengshui forests—mature forests dominated by Tertiary relict taxa Liriodendron, Toona, and Emmenopterys, protected for their supposed spiritual value; (2) young secondary forests near villages, dominated solely by Liriodendron; and (3) old secondary forest remnants on mountain slopes far from villages, dominated by Liriodendron with other Tertiary relicts of the genera Davidia and Sassafras. The age structure of Liriodendron indicated ample recruitment in the first two forest types, where the activities of local people have provided regeneration niches for the survival of this shade‐intolerant pioneer species. On the remote mountain slopes that have never been converted to agriculture, Liriodendron has survived through regeneration made possible by natural disturbances.• Conclusions: The traditional human land use, influenced by cultural values, has supplemented infrequent natural disturbances, providing regeneration niches for this and other Tertiary remnant species near villages in mountain valleys, while on uninhabited mountain slopes the species depends on natural disturbances to survive.
« Ta mère, elle est tellement... » joutes verbales et insultes rituelles chez des adolescents issus de l'immigration francophone
Authors: Bertucci Marie-Madeleine , Boyer Isabelle 
Published: October 2013

Les joutes verbales et les insultes rituelles, observables chez les adolescents issus de l’immigration francophone, constituent un mode de communication et une forme de pratique culturelle. Ces « vannes » sont souvent considérées comme un emblème de l’incivilité linguistique et un marqueur de la « culture des rues ». Elles trouveraient leur origine dans une culture de l’éloquence, issue des traditions populaires de l’immigration francophone maghrébine et africaine. En tant que jeu rituel, elles contribuent à la socialisation des jeunes au sein du groupe de pairs.
Mutilations génitales féminines entre fantasme et pratiques sociales
Authors: De Micco Virginia 
Published: October 2013

Après un encadrement socio-anthropologique de ce que l’on appelle les mutilations féminines génitales, est examiné, à travers une séquence clinique, leur envers inconscient le plus profond. De telles pratiques sociales éclairent à leur tour le fondement inconscient de certaines manifestations cliniques, surtout en ce qui concerne les adolescents et leurs « rites de passage » singuliers.
Le militantisme féministe aujourd'hui
Authors: Bard Christine , Béranger Alix , Carbunar Clara , De Haas Caroline , Béja Alice 
Published: October 2013

Ce que l’on appelle parfois le « nouveau » féminisme est en réalité bien ancré dans une tradition de lutte. Des organisations comme Osez le féminisme, La Barbe ou la Marche mondiale des femmes construisent des mobilisations, organisent le dialogue entre générations de féministes, interpellent l’État ou les syndicats, sans être pour autant homogènes dans leurs modes d’action comme dans leur diagnostic sur la société contemporaine et la manière dont elle traite les femmes.
À quoi servent les économistes ?
Authors: Aglietta Michel 
Published: October 2013

L’économie devrait être une science de la société ; or aujourd’hui, elle est bien davantage une idéologie qui s’abrite derrière la prétendue objectivité des chiffres. Pour que l’économie et les économistes servent enfin à quelque chose, il faut que l’économie renoue avec les sciences sociales et sorte de la pure idée du marché pour se poser, par exemple, la question des inégalités.
Le Neveu de Rameau : un roman non romanesque ?
Authors: Albertan-Coppola Sylviane 
Published: October 2013

Le Neveu de Rameau peut être aussi bien assimilé à une satire ou un dialogue philosophique qu’à un roman. Mais Diderot réagit en l’écrivant contre le romanesque en vogue à son époque ; il renonce au modèle richardsonien qui associait attendrissement et édification morale. Au « démon de la présence » cher à Roger Kempf s’est substitué, à partir du Neveu de Rameau , le démon de la critique, qui relie intrinsèquement roman et philosophie.
Une solide formation sceptique
Authors: Bourrit Bernard 
Published: October 2013

Thomas Bernhard, nihiliste ? Voilà un séditieux prétexte pour nier, justement, la radicale rigueur de Thomas Bernhard. Pour refuser de considérer positivement l’esprit systématique avec lequel il relie le problème de l’écriture à celui de son origine. Écrire, c’est recommencer d’écrire, faire en sorte que l’écriture continue en dépit du fait – originel – que l’écrit trahit tout ce dont il s’empare : la pensée, la vérité, la réalité. Cette aporie, comment la dépasser ?
L'arabe à l'école, une langue mal-aimée
Authors: Messaoudi Alain 
Published: October 2013

Alors que la France compte entre 3 et 4 millions d’arabophones, l’arabe est relativement peu enseigné en France. Comment l’expliquer ? Par une certaine réticence du corps enseignant, par le passé colonial français qui en a fait la langue des colonisés, par la crainte que son enseignement ne diffère l’intégration des élèves d’origine maghrébine ? Une crainte que ne suscite visiblement pas les autres langues.

Le comique troupier au XIX e siècle : une culture du rire
Authors: Roynette-Gland Odile 
Published: October 2013

Au cours du XIX e siècle est née en France une production culturelle divertissante prenant pour sujet l’armée et ses représentants. Apparue au théâtre dès la Restauration, déployée ensuite dans la presse, notamment la presse satirique illustrée puis dans les circuits populaires de la littérature et sur les scènes des cafés-concerts, le comique troupier construit la place du militaire dans l’imaginaire social. Ces textes et ces images mettent en scène des types sociaux qui confortent les normes genrées et suscitent le rire selon des procédés rhétoriques répétitifs. Si leurs auteurs épinglent les travers d’une institution longtemps tenue éloignée de la nation, cette fonction critique tend néanmoins à s’étioler après la généralisation du service militaire en 1872. À la fin du XIX e siècle, cette production hybride répond aux attentes d’un public soucieux de se familiariser avec l’armée, non sans conserver aux yeux de l’institution militaire un pouvoir contestataire dont celle-ci ne peut négliger le rôle.
Posture et figure chez Barbey d'Aurevilly
Authors: Laroche Hugues 
Published: October 2013

L’exemple de Barbey d’Aurevilly permet de souligner à quel point la posture d’un écrivain repose sur des figures. On entendra par ce dernier terme le jeu qui s’installe entre un projet littéraire et sa représentation et qui se déploie dans le style pris dans son extension la plus grande : figures de plume ou de costume, figures de personnages et de masques. Il semble que tous ces jeux de mode ou de mots tournent, à la façon du trope, autour d’une figure centrale qui serait celle du Christ : c’est par un travail d’imitation que l’écrivain catholique en vient à incarner cette figure qui fait de l’accusation d’imposture et de la Passion qui la suit une étape nécessaire à la résurrection.
Le galérien, le révolté et le yuppie : trois trajectoires d’immigrés égyptiens à Abu Dhabi
Authors: Gruntz Lucile 
Published: October 2013

L’immigration de travail égyptienne aux Émirats arabes unis suscite en Égypte des espoirs collectifs et individuels de changement social sans cesse recomposés. Mais les émigrés devenus immigrés ne sont pas des passeurs de changement univoques : les expériences migratoires s’inscrivent dans des histoires longues ; elles se frottent à des dispositifs administratifs discriminatoires ; elles marquent diversement les esprits et les corps des immigrés et les espaces qu’ils fréquentent. C’est ce que retrace cet article, à travers les trajectoires singulières de trois hommes égyptiens à Abu Dhabi.
Mizrahi voices in Musrara.
Authors: De Martino Claudia 
Published: October 2013

L'article analyse la complexité socio-spatiale du quartier de Musrara à Jérusalem, avant et après l'événement politique majeur que constitue la guerre de 1967. Cet article se concentre sur l'histoire urbaine et sociale du quartier juif de Musrara, et la position « entre-deux » des Juifs venus du Levant et des pays arabo-musulmans (les Mizrahim), coincés entre Arabes et Juifs. Ainsi, la complexité spatiale de cette zone, localisée (à l'époque) aux marges d'Israël, s'accroît encore par la présence d'un groupe juif marginalisé, relégué à la périphérie urbaine par les groupes dominants. Néanmoins, la guerre de 1967 changea radicalement la position de Musrara, le transformant en « zone centrale », localisée stratégiquement entre la ville juive et la ville arabe.
