Mobilizing Christianity in the Antivivisection Movement in Victorian Britain
Authors: Li Chien-hui 
Published: October 2012

AbstractThis article offers a historical perspective on the bearing of the Christian tradition on humans’ ethical relations with other animals. Instead of focusing on major theologians and canonical texts, this article turns to the initiatives taken by laity and clergy in the mobilization of their antivivisection cause in the last quarter of the 19th century. It reveals that despite the lack of institutional support from major Churches, many reformers sympathetic to Christian ideals relied on Christianity as their moral foundation, utilizing various recourses associated with it in their fight against animal experimentation. These reformers appropriated the concepts of sin and self-sacrifice and the notion of the incarnate Christ, as well as critiques against scientific knowledge and materialism permeating the wider conflict between religion and science at the time. In this wideranging mobilization of resources associated with the Christian religious tradition, they sustained a generation of activism against animal experimentation while, at the same time, recreating a positive Christian subtradition in animal ethics.
Coordination, incitation et création de connaissance
Authors: Cohendet Patrick , Gaffard Jean-Luc 
Published: October 2012

La théorie comme la pratique des affaires ont semblé obéir à deux croyances : les marchés devraient être flexibles et les entreprises devaient chercher à optimiser la performance individuelle de leurs employés. Ces croyances reposent sur l’idée que, pour faire face à une information qui est inégalement distribuée, peut être cachée ou manipulée, il suffit de concevoir des incitations individuelles appropriées. La création de connaissance requiert au contraire la mise en oeuvre de réseaux sociaux, entre entreprises comme dans l’entreprise, dédiés à coordonner les investissements concurrents comme complémentaires dans un monde caractérisé par l’irréversibilité et l’incertitude.
Changement technologique et transfert de compétences : une réflexion à partir du cas des équipages de transport de l’armée de l’air
Authors: Barbaroux Pierre , Godé Cécile 
Published: October 2012

Cet article explore la contribution des processus de transfert des compétences en matière de gestion du changement technologique. A partir d’une étude de cas portant sur des équipages d’avions de transport tactique de l’armée de l’air, l’article démontre que le transfert des compétences offre à l’organisation des ressources utiles permettant de gérer un changement technologique majeur. L’article montre également que la culture organisationnelle ne vient pas seulement faciliter ou limiter le transfert des compétences : elle constitue un actif intangible dont le transfert s’avère critique du point de vue du maintien, voire de l’extension, des capacités opérationnelles de l’organisation.
Crowdsourcing d’activités inventives et frontières des organisations1
Authors: Pénin Julien , Burger-Helmchen Thierry 
Published: October 2012

Le crowdsourcing d’activités inventives (CAI) consiste à externaliser à une foule des activités de recherche, des tâches complexes ou créatives. Plusieurs exemples récents ont mis en avant les avantages de ce type de pratique, aussi bien pour réduire les coûts du processus d’innovation que pour améliorer ses résultats. Dans ce travail, nous étudions l’impact organisationnel du CAI en mobilisant les théories sur les frontières des organisations. La littérature identifie quatre frontières différentes : frontière d’efficience, d’influence, de compétence et d’identité. L’analyse en termes de frontière des organisations nous permet notamment de mettre en avant certaines limites du recours au CAI et d’élaborer des prédictions théoriques sur les conditions d’émergence et d’utilisation du CAI.
Code Switching
Authors: Deuchar Margaret 
Published: October 2012

AbstractCode switching (CS) is an activity which may be observed in the speech (or writing) of bilinguals who go back and forth between their two languages in the same conversation. Please note thatSpanishwords are underlined, English words are shown in normal style, andWelshwords are shown in bold. Key to glosses: PL = plural, SG = singular, M = masculine, PRON = pronoun, DET = determiner, PRT = particle, NEG = negative/negative particle, DEM = demonstrative, DAT = dative, ACC = accusative, INF = nonfinite, PRES = present, IMP = imperfect tense, FUT = future tense, 1SG/1PL = 1st person singular/ plural, 2SG/PL = 2nd person singular/plural, and 3SG/3PL = 3rd person singular/plural. Examples (1)–(6) illustrate code switching from recorded conversations between Spanish‐English, Welsh‐English, and Welsh‐Spanish bilinguals. The data were collected as part of the research program of the ESRC Centre for Research on Bilingualism (www.bilingualism.bangor.ac.uk) and with funding from the AHRC for a grant awarded to the author for a project on “Code switching and convergence in Welsh: A universal versus a typological approach” (for the Welsh‐English data seehttp://talkbank.org/data/BilingBank/Bangor).

Published: October 2012

AbstractVelo‐cardio‐facial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome, also known as 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is the most common microdeletion syndrome, with an estimated incidence of 1/2,000–1/4,000 live births. Approximately 9–11% of patients with this disorder have an overt cleft palate (CP), but the genetic factors responsible for CP in the 22q11DS subset are unknown. TheTBX1gene, a member of the T‐box transcription factor gene family, lies within the 22q11.2 region that is hemizygous in patients with 22q11DS. Inactivation of one allele ofTbx1in the mouse does not result in CP, but inactivation of both alleles does. Based on these data, we hypothesized that DNA variants in the remaining allele ofTBX1may confer risk to CP in patients with 22q11DS. To test the hypothesis, we evaluatedTBX1exon sequencing (n = 360) and genotyping data (n = 737) with respect to presence (n = 54) or absence (n = 683) of CP in patients with 22q11DS. Two upstream SNPs (rs4819835 and rs5748410) showed individual evidence for association but they were not significant after correction for multiple testing. Associations were not identified between DNA variants and haplotypes in 22q11DS patients with CP. Overall, this study indicates that common DNA variants inTBX1may be nominally causative for CP in patients with 22q11DS. This raises the possibility that genes elsewhere on the remaining allele of 22q11.2 or in the genome could be relevant. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractMacrosomia, obesity, macrocephaly, and ocular abnormalities syndrome (MOMO syndrome) has been reported in only four patients to date. In these sporadic cases, no chromosomal or molecular abnormality has been identified thus far. Here, we report on the clinical, cytogenetic, and molecular findings in a child of healthy consanguineous parents suffering from MOMO syndrome. Conventional karyotyping revealed an inherited homozygous balanced reciprocal translocation (16;20)(q21;p11.2). Uniparental disomy testing showed bi‐parental inheritance for both derivative chromosomes 16 and 20. The patient's oligonucleotide array‐comparative genomic hybridization profile revealed no abnormality. From the homozygous balanced reciprocal translocation (16;20)(q21;p11.2), a positional cloning strategy, designed to narrow 16q21 and 20p11.2 breakpoints, revealed the disruption of a novel gene located at 20p11.23. This gene is now named LINC00237, according to the HUGO (Human Genome Organization) nomenclature. The gene apparently leads to the production of a non‐coding RNA. We established that LINC00237 was expressed in lymphocytes of control individuals while normal transcripts were absent in lymphocytes of our MOMO patient. LINC00237 was not ubiquitously expressed in control tissues, but it was notably highly expressed in the brain. Our results suggested autosomal recessive inheritance of MOMO syndrome. LINC00237 could play a role in the pathogenesis of this syndrome and could provide new insights into hyperphagia‐related obesity and intellectual disability. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Von Minergie‐A zu Nullenergiegebäuden
Authors: Hall Monika 
Published: October 2012

AbstractMinergie‐A ist ein Gebäudestandard für Ein‐ und Mehrfamilienhäuser mit einer Nullwärmebilanz für Heizung, Kühlung, Warmwasser, Lüftung und Hilfsbetriebe und einer separaten Anforderung an die Graue Energie. Die Auswertung der ersten 39 Gebäude zeigt, dass eine breite Palette an Möglichkeiten besteht, die Anforderungen zu erfüllen. Eine Mehrzahl der Gebäude weist jedoch eine sehr gute Gebäudehülle auf. Hinzu kommen sehr unterschiedliche Konzepte der Gebäudetechnik. Der Unterschied zwischen dem Minergie‐A‐Standard und dem in diesem Beitrag als “Nullenergiegebäude“ bezeichneten Gebäudetyp liegt in der Berücksichtigung des Haushaltsstroms. Bei der energetischen Gesamtbilanzierung von Betriebsenergie und Grauen Energie hat der Haushaltstrom eine große Bedeutung. Werden die Netto‐Bilanzen bei der Life Cycle Energy Analyse betrachtet, weist das Nullenergiegebäude einen niedrigeren Wert auf als Minergie‐A‐Gebäude. Dem gegenüber belasten Minergie‐A‐Gebäude das Elektrizitätsnetz weniger als Nullenergiegebäude. Der Minergie‐A‐Standard erlaubt es, Erfahrungen mit einem Nullenergiestandard zu sammeln. Seit der Lancierung im März 2011 wurden rund 180 Minergie‐A‐Anträge gestellt. Diese hohe Zahl beweist, dass der Standard von den Planern sehr positiv angenommen wird. Das Feedback für die Nullwärmebilanz und die Anforderung an die Graue Energie sind positiv. Ein Minergie‐A‐Zertifikat für Verwaltungsbauten ist in der Entwicklung.From Minergie‐A towards net zero energy buildings. Minergie‐A prescribes an annual net zero primary energy balance for heating, cooling, domestic hot water and ventilation. Additionally, Minergie‐A is the first standard worldwide which includes a requirement in regard to embodied energy. The analysis of 39 Minergie‐A buildings shows that a wide range of different energy concepts and embodied energy strategies are possible in the scope of the label. The basis of all Minergie‐A buildings is a well‐insulated building envelope, however. Including the electricity for appliances and lighting in the net zero energy balance, the step from Minergie‐A to a net zero energy building (Net ZEB) is done. Appliances and lighting increase the total energy demand. It is shown that the net zero energy balance during the operational phase of Net ZEBs clearly outweighs the increased embodied energy for additional materials in a life cycle energy analysis. Otherwise the grid interaction is lower for Minergie‐A than for Net ZEBs. Since March 2011 approx. 180 motions arrived for Minergie‐A. Architects and designers welcome the requirements in regard to the net zero balance and embodied energy. Minergie‐A for office buildings is under development.
A cytochrome C electron transfer switch modulated by heme ligation and isomerization of a peptidyl‐prolyl bond
Authors: Bandi Swati , Bowler Bruce E. 
Published: October 2012

AbstractIntermolecular electron transfer (ET) between hexaamineruthenium(II), a6Ru2+, and a K73H/K79A variant of iso‐1‐cytochrome c, iso‐1‐Cytc, is used to study conformational ET switches mediated by His73‐heme ligation and cis to trans isomerization of the Ile75‐Pro76 peptidyl‐prolyl bond of iso‐1‐Cytc. The biomolecular rate constant for ET to the native state of K73H/K79A iso‐1‐Cytc is ∼270 mM−1 s−1 near neutral pH. The unimolecular conformational ET switches due to His73‐heme ligation and the Ile75‐Pro76 peptidyl‐prolyl bond gate ET at rate constants of 5 to 10 s−1 and 0.05 to 0.06 s−1. Thus, at 1 mM a6Ru2+, these conformational ET switches slow electron transfer by about 50‐ and 5000‐fold, respectively. The conformational ET switches are populated between pH 5 and 7, providing a means of modulating ET in this redox protein over several orders of magnitude by simply changing pH. The conformationally‐gated ET measurements are analyzed in the context of previous pH jump measurements on the His73‐heme alkaline transition of K73H/K79A iso‐1‐Cytc. The ability to obtain microscopic rate constants with conformationally‐gated ET measurements has allowed more precise determination of the pKas of the three ionizable groups that mediate population of the His73‐heme ET switch. We have also been able to show that the ionizable group with a pKa near 9 stabilizes the His73‐heme conformer relative to the native state of iso‐1‐Cytc and that contrary to the conclusions from our pH jump studies, this ionization does not strongly affect the rate of the Ile75‐Pro76 peptidyl‐prolyl isomerization. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

AbstractBackgroundA systematic review and network meta-analysis was undertaken to consider the evidence for the efficacy and tolerability of placebo, cilostazol, naftidrofuryl oxalate and pentoxifylline in patients with intermittent claudication due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD).MethodsMEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Web of Science, Conference Proceedings, BIOSIS, National Research Register and MetaRegister databases were searched. Eligible studies were randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and published systematic reviews of patients with intermittent claudication due to PAD and whose symptoms persisted despite a period of conservative management. Study selection was conducted by one reviewer with involvement from a clinician. Data were extracted by one reviewer with no blinding to authors or journal, and checked by a second reviewer. Outcome measures were maximum walking distance (MWD) and pain-free walking distance (PFWD).ResultsThe review identified 1876 citations; 26 RCTs met the inclusion criteria for the systematic review. Eleven trials provided data relevant for the meta-analysis. Naftidrofuryl oxalate was ranked first for both MWD and PFWD (probability of 0·947 and 0·987, respectively, of being the best treatment) followed by cilostazol and pentoxifylline. For naftidrofuryl oxalate, cilostazol and pentoxifylline, MWD increased by 60 (95 per cent credible interval 20 to 114) per cent, 25 (11 to 40) per cent and 11 (−1 to 24) per cent respectively relative to placebo, and PFWD increased by 49, 13 and 9 per cent.ConclusionNaftidrofuryl oxalate and cilostazol are both effective treatments for claudication; naftidrofuryl oxalate is likely to be the most effective, with minimal serious adverse events.

Abstract

Background
Open cholecystectomy (OC) is often preferred over laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension, but evidence is lacking to support this practice. This meta-analysis aimed to clarify which surgical technique is preferable for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis in patients with liver cirrhosis.

Methods
A meta-analysis was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Articles published between January 1990 and October 2011 were identified from MEDLINE, Embase and the Cochrane Library. Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing outcomes of OC versus LC for cholecystolithiasis in patients with liver cirrhosis were included. The quality of the RCTs was assessed using the Jadad criteria.

Results
Following review of 1422 papers by title and abstract, a meta-analysis was conducted of four RCTs comprising 234 surgical patients. They provided evidence of at least level 2b on the Oxford Level of Evidence Scale, but scored poorly according to the Jadad criteria. Some 97·0 per cent of the patients had Child–Turcotte–Pugh (CTP) grade A or B liver cirrhosis. In all, 96·6 per cent underwent elective surgery. No postoperative deaths were reported. LC was associated with fewer postoperative complications (risk ratio 0·52, 95 per cent confidence interval (c.i.) 0·29 to 0·92; P = 0·03), a shorter hospital stay (mean difference − 3·05 (95 per cent c.i. − 4·09 to − 2·01) days; P &lt; 0·001) and quicker resumption of a normal diet (mean difference − 27·48 (−30·96 to − 23·99) h; P &lt; 0·001).

Conclusion
Patients with CTP grade A or B liver cirrhosis who undergo LC for symptomatic cholecystolithiasis have fewer overall postoperative complications, a shorter hospital stay and resume a normal diet more quickly than those who undergo OC.
Coronary venous retroperfusion of arterial blood for the treatment of acute myocardial ischemia
Authors: Barnett J. Craig , Freedman Robert J. , Touchon Robert C. , Mesner Mark R. 
Published: October 2012

AbstractSynchronized coronary venous retroperfusion of autologous arterial blood was offered to patients referred for medically refractory unstable angina or evolving myocardial infarction with contraindications to thrombolytic therapy. Primary endpoints of angina, ST segment deviation, and two‐dimensional echocardiographic systolic wall motion were followed to determine the efficacy of retroperfusion in patients prior to and then during angioplasty, surgical intervention, or pharmacological management, as the clinical picture warranted.Over a 12 month period, 21 patients were referred and 15 received retroperfusion. All experienced full relief of angina (p = 0·008). ST segment deviations and systolic wall motion of ischemic zones were observed to improve (p = 0·06 ST changes; p = 0·0001 wall motion changes) with synchronized retrograde perfusion. During attempts to remove patients from retroperfusion, statistically significant (p < 0·01) reproducible changes in these same endpoints were documented.Retroperfusion appears to improve acute myocardial ischemia. This technique functions well in the intensive care unit environment with only fluoroscopy as technical imaging support.

Published: October 2012

AbstractThe “Tracker” is a highly trackable and readily exchangeable catheter which can be used to facilitate coronary angioplasty in situations where the guide wire is unable to cross the lesion and is buckling under pressure. In addition it is also useful in assessing the severity of borderline coronary artery stenoses and for local infusion therapy.
Rupture and entrapment of a balloon catheter in the left anterior descending artery: Fluoroscopic appearance of impending balloon failure
Authors: Kussmaul William G. , Marzo Kevin , Tomaszewski John , Disesa Verdi J. 
Published: October 2012

AbstractRupture of an angioplasty balloon in an undilated left anterior descending coronary stenosis resulted in entrapment of the balloon requiring surgical removal. The balloon was found to have a circumferential tear. The fluoroscopic appearance of impending balloon rupture is demonstrated. It is suggested that when faced with an unyielding stenosis, inflation pressure sufficient to cause impending balloon failure should be avoided.

AbstractA new technique for right heart catheterization using a Muilins' sheath is described. This device allows a Swan‐Ganz catheter to reach pulmonary artery position easily and permits simultaneous pressure recordings in right heart chambers, thus avoiding a double venous puncture and two catheters.This new technique, its indications, and our experience in 29 patients are described. It is most useful in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension and in those conditions in which accurate right heart pressure measurements are needed.
