Legendary Aspects of Ramon Llull
Authors: Valriu Caterina 
Published: December 2014

AbstractRamon Llull’s life is associated with classic legendary themes. Legends that dwell on his conversion show the pathway from a courtier to a spiritual person, while others that revolve around divine apparitions can be tied in with the hagiographic theme of the chosen one, and stories about Llull the wise or the alchemist tend to emphasize his intelligence and expressive capacity. Legends that focus on his saintliness illustrate different aspects (the convert, the wise and enlightened man, the evangelizer, the pious hermit or the holy protector), whereas the legend of the stoning extols Llull’s life and legacies. Underlying all these legends is a sense of popular devotion and the purpose of canonizing Ramon Llull.

Einfluss von Layout-Prinzipien auf die ästhetische Wahrnehmung von Web-Seiten / On the Influence of Layout Heuristics on the Aesthetic Perception of Web Pages
Authors: Müller Kerstin , Schrepp Martin 
Published: December 2014

ZusammenfassungEin mittlerweile gut untersuchtes Phänomen ist der Zusammenhang zwischen wahrgenommener Usability und wahrgenommener Ästhetik. Wie mehrere Studien zeigten, werden als ästhetisch empfundene Produkte oft auch als gut und einfach bedienbar wahrgenommen. Ästhetische Gestaltung ist also ein wichtiges Kriterium für den Erfolg eines interaktiven Produkts. Für die Gestaltung einer Benutzerschnittstelle ist es daher wichtig zu wissen, wie sich konkrete Gestaltungsentscheidungen auf die ästhetische Wahrnehmung auswirken. Wir untersuchen mehrere bekannte Heuristiken für die Gestaltung des Layouts, d. h. der Anordnung der Elemente auf der Benutzerschnittstelle. In unserer Studie wurde überprüft, ob diese Layout-Prinzipien überhaupt einen Einfluss auf die ästhetische Wahrnehmung haben und ob sich die Stärke dieses Einflusses zwischen verschiedenen Layout-Prinzipien unterscheidet. Für die Studie wurden Varianten von acht Web- Seiten erstellt, die sich in Bezug auf die Layout-Prinzipien systematisch unterschieden. Die Teilnehmer der Studie hatten die Aufgabe, diese Varianten bzgl. ihres ästhetischen Eindrucks in eine Rangreihe zu bringen. Über eine Conjoint-Analyse wurde für die verschiedenen Gestaltungsmechanismen bestimmt, wie stark sie die ästhetische Wahrnehmung der Teilnehmer beeinflussten. Aus der Studie ergibt sich aus methodischer Sicht, dass sich Empfehlungen für die Gestaltung eines Layouts durch systematische Variation realer Web-Seiten in Verbindung mit einer Conjoint-Analyse relativ leicht ableiten lassen. Weiterhin konnten eine Reihe von Empfehlungen formuliert werden, die für konkrete Design-Entscheidungen hilfreich sein können.

Nutzerzentrierte Produktentwicklung im interdisziplinären Team / Am Beispiel der IAV Messdatenplattform
Authors: Endmann Anja 
Published: December 2014

ZusammenfassungKreative Lösungen entstehen nur in Ausnahmefällen durch Zufall oder durch „Heureka“-Momente einer einzelnen Person. Doch wie können Ideen und Konzepte entsprechend der Nutzerbedürfnisse, aber auch in Abhängigkeit der technischen Machbarkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit kostengünstig agil entwickelt werden? Innovation bei gleichzeitiger Senkung der Entwicklungskosten und -zeit kann durch zwei Aspekte erzielt werden: 1. die kontinuierliche Einbeziehung des Nutzers über den gesamten Entwicklungsprozess und 2. durch ein interdisziplinäres Projektteam, das über alle Phasen des Projektes zusammenarbeitet. Nur so lässt sich ein gemeinsames Verständnis für die Nutzer und deren Problemstellungen aufbauen sowie die Entwicklung einer innovativen, technisch realisierbaren, wirtschaftlichen und den Nutzerbedürfnissen entsprechende Lösungen realisieren. Der nachfolgende Artikel beschreibt anhand eines Praxisbeispiels, wie eine interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit im Kontext einer nutzerzentrierten agilen Produktentwicklung funktionieren kann.
Accuracy of ultrasound in estimating fetal weight and growth discordancy in triplet pregnancies
Authors: Weissman Amir , Matanes Emad , Drugan Arie 
Published: December 2014

Abstract

Aims: Sonographic estimation of fetal weight is a fundamental part of the routine obstetrical practice and may affect management decisions particularly in multiple gestations. The data available on the accuracy of sonographic estimation of fetal weight in triplets are very limited. In the present study we investigated the accuracy of sonographic fetal weight estimation and discordancy in triplet gestations.

Methods: We analyzed the sonographic data of 33 sets of triplets born at one medical center between January 2001 and March 2013. Estimated fetal weight was calculated from biometric measurements and compared with actual neonatal weights following delivery. The Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression analyses, and Bland-Altman method were used for statistical comparisons.

Results: The differences between predicted and actual birth weights (ABW) were <10% in 69 newborns (70%), 10%–20% in 19 newborns (19%), and more than 20% in 11 newborns (11%). There was a good correlation between predicted and ABW (correlation coefficient=0.928, r
2=0.86, P<0.0001).

Conclusions: Weight assessment in triplets does not fall behind that of singletons or twins, and decisions based upon these examinations are reliable in the majority of cases.
Mesoporous Au-loaded Fe2O3 Nanoparticle Assemblies for Chemoselective Reduction of Nitroarenes
Authors: Papadas Ioannis , Fountoulaki Stella , Lykakis Ioannis N. , Armatas Gerasimos S. 
Published: December 2014

ABSTRACTIn this article, we report the synthesis of unique mesoporous Au-loaded Fe2O3nanoparticle assemblies (Au/Fe2O3-NPAs) through a surfactant-assisted aggregating assembly method. The resulting network structure, which composed of small Au nanocrystals (ca. 5 nm) finely dispersed on surface of Fe2O3 NPs (ca. 6–7 nm), possesses a 3D open-pore structure with a BET surface area of 123 m2g-1 and uniform mesopores (∼4.5 nm). Au/Fe2O3-NPAs showed high catalytic activity and chemical stability for the selective transformation of nitroaromatic compounds into the corresponding amines, using 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl disiloxane as reducing agent at ambient conditions.

Published: December 2014

Background
Almost 1 person in 1,000 experiences a stroke annually in France. Health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) measurement with specific questionnaires is useful to study the consequences of stroke on patients' daily lives.

Objective
The purpose of this study was to validate the French version of the Stroke Impact Scale (SIS) questionnaire, as no disease-specific questionnaire was validated in French heretofore.

Methods
Two hundred eighty-eight patients with stroke were classified into 2 groups (158 acute, 130 chronic). Rate of item completion, test-retest reliability, sensitivity to change, and construct validity, convergent validity, and discriminant validity of the questionnaire were assessed. Acute group patients were recruited during the first month poststroke and followed for 3 months. Chronic group patients (stroke dating from 1 year) were recruited from outpatient consultations. The first 100 patients in the chronic group were called back 15 days after inclusion for test-retest measurements. The Barthel Index, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Duke Health Profile questionnaires were administered.

Results
The French version of the SIS was well accepted by all participants. It had good reproducibility. Cronbach alpha was 89% for all scales. A ceiling effect was noted in the majority of scales. Physical domains were significantly correlated to other measures of physical capacity (Barthel Index and Duke Health Profile; Spearman coefficients were between .5 and .73), and the emotional and social domains were significantly correlated to almost all domains of the Duke Health Profile. Psychometric properties were similar to those of the US version. Responsiveness was good for physical and emotional domains.

Limitations
Validation was conducted only on people who were able to answer the questionnaire.

Conclusions
The French SIS version presents good psychometric properties, except for ceiling effect. This is the first stroke-specific questionnaire evaluating perceived health after stroke to be validated in France and could be useful for further investigations of HRQoL after stroke.
Examining the Relationship Between Medical Diagnoses and Patterns of Performance on the Modified Dynamic Gait Index
Authors: Matsuda Patricia Noritake , Taylor Catherine , Shumway-Cook Anne 
Published: December 2014

Background
In the original and modified Dynamic Gait Index (mDGI), 8 tasks are used to measure mobility; however, disagreement exists regarding whether all tasks are necessary. The relationship between mDGI scores and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) severity indicators in the mobility domain has not been explored.

Objective
The study objectives were to examine the relationship between medical diagnoses and mDGI scores, to determine whether administration of the mDGI can be shortened on the basis of expected diagnostic patterns of performance, and to create a model in which mDGI scores are mapped to CMS severity modifiers.

Design
This was a cross-sectional, descriptive study.

Methods
The 794 participants included 140 people without impairments (control cohort) and 239 people with stroke, 140 with vestibular dysfunction, 100 with traumatic brain injury, 91 with gait abnormality, and 84 with Parkinson disease. Scores on the mDGI (total, performance facet, and task) for the control cohort were compared with those for the 5 diagnostic groups by use of an analysis of variance. For mapping mDGI scores to 7 CMS impairment categories, an underlying Rasch scale was used to convert raw scores to an interval scale.

Results
There was a main effect of mDGI total, time, and gait pattern scores for the groups. Task-specific score patterns based on medical diagnosis were found, but the range of performance within each group was large. A framework for mapping mDGI total, performance facet, and task scores to 7 CMS impairment categories on the basis of Rasch analysis was created.

Limitations
Limitations included uneven sample sizes in the 6 groups.

Conclusions
Results supported retaining all 8 tasks for the assessment of mobility function in older people and people with neurologic conditions. Mapping mDGI scores to CMS severity indicators should assist clinicians in interpreting mobility performance, including changes in function over time.
Impact of body habitus on fluoroscopic radiation emission during minimally invasive spine surgery
Authors: Kukreja Sunil , Haydel Justin , Nanda Anil , Sin Anthony H. 
Published: December 2014

OBJECT
Minimally invasive spine surgeries (MISSs) have gained immense popularity in the last few years. Concern about the radiation exposure has also been raised. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the impact of body habitus on the radiation emission during various MISS procedures. The authors also aim to evaluate the effect the surgeon's experience has on the amount of radiation exposure during MISS especially with regard to patient size.

METHODS
The authors conducted a retrospective analysis of 332 patients who underwent 387 MISS procedures performed at their institution from January 2010 to August 2013 by a single surgeon. The dose of radiation emission available from the fluoroscopic equipment was recorded from the electronic database. The authors analyzed mainly 3 procedure groups: microdiscectomy/decompression (MiDD, n = 211) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) either with unilateral instrumentation (UnTLIF, n = 106) or bilateral instrumentation (BiTLIF, n = 70). The patients in each procedure group were divided into 6 categories based on the WHO criteria for obesity: underweight (body mass index [BMI] < 18.50), normal (18.50–24.99), overweight (25.00–29.99), Class 1 obese (30.00–34.99), Class 2 obese (35.00– 39.99), and Class 3 obese (> 40.00).

RESULTS
Patients who underwent BiTLIF had the highest median radiation exposure (113 mGy, SD 9.44), whereas microdiscectomy required minimal exposure (12.62 mGy, SD 2.75 mGy). There was a significant correlation between radiation emission and BMI of the patients during all MISS procedures (p < 0.05). The median radiation exposure was substantially greater with larger patients (p ≤ 0.001). In the analyses within the procedure groups, radiation exposure was found to be significantly high in patients who were severely obese (Class 2 and Class 3 obesity). The radiation emission was lower during the surgeries performed in 2013 than during those performed in 2010 especially in obese patients; however, this observation was not statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONS
Body habitus of the patients has a substantial impact on radiation emission during MISS. Severe obesity (BMI ≥ 35) is associated with a significantly greater risk of radiation exposure compared with other weight categories. Surgical experience seems to be associated with lower radiation emission especially in cases in which patients have a higher BMI; however, further studies should be performed to examine this effect.
Enrichment of calcifying extracellular vesicles using density‐based ultracentrifugation protocol

Published: December 2014

Calcifying extracellular vesicles (EVs) released from cells within atherosclerotic plaques have received increased attention for their role in mediating vascular calcification, a major predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, little is known about the difference between this pathologic vesicle population and other EVs that contribute to physiological cellular processes. One major challenge that hinders research into these differences is the inability to selectively isolate calcifying EVs from other vesicle populations. In this study, we hypothesized that the formation of mineral within calcifying EVs would increase the density of the vesicles such that they would pellet at a faster rate during ultracentrifugation. We show that after 10 min of ultracentrifugation at 100,000×g, calcifying EVs are depleted from the conditioned media of calcifying coronary artery smooth muscle cells and are enriched in the pelleted portion. We utilized mass spectrometry to establish functional proteomic differences between the calcifying EVs enriched in the 10 min ultracentrifugation compared to other vesicle populations preferentially pelleted by longer ultracentrifugation times. The procedures established in this study will allow us to enrich the vesicle population of interest and perform advanced proteomic analyses to find subtle differences between calcifying EVs and other vesicle populations that may be translated into therapeutic targets for vascular calcification. Finally, we will show that the differences in ultracentrifugation times required to pellet the vesicle populations can also be used to estimate physical differences between the vesicles.
Culte impérial et religion en Afrique du Nord sous le Haut Empire romain
Authors: Smadja Elisabeth 
Published: December 2014

Imperial cult and religion in North Africa under the Principate.
This paper takes into account two kinds of dedications : the dedications to the divinised emperors and to the imperial numen. From the Antonines to the Severi, the continuity between dead emperors and the living one evolves towards the divinisation of the latter, easily noticeable on the municipal level. In spite of their small number, the dedications to the imperial numen enable the different communities to convey a particular relationship to the Imperial power.
Quelques mythes grecs sur les Indiens d’Hérodote à Strabon
Authors: Muckensturm-Poulle Claire 
Published: December 2014

Some Greek myths on the Indians from Herodotus to Strabo.
The Greek myths about Indians note identity and difference: after asking how far were Herodotus, Ctesias and Strabo aware of the mythical nature of a part of their information about India, is analysed how their ethnological discourse elaborates an idealized or monstrous image of Indian peoples. Then follows an enquiry about the insertion into the description of Greek realities in the description of Indian religion and society.
Le Buddha à l’École d’Alexandrie, à propos de Stromates I.15.71.6
Authors: Ducoeur Guillaume 
Published: December 2014

The Buddha at the Alexendrine school, about Stromates I.15.71.6.
Stromates I.15.71.6 is often used to assert that Buddhism was known at Alexandria and more widely in the Mediterranean as soon as the end of IInd century AC, and thus corroborate the idea of a possible influence of Buddhism in the Gnostic and Christian circles, as well as among Platonic ones. The content of this brief passage on the Buddha is above all the outcome of a rhetorical composition governed by its author’s editorial aim. This reference cannot be the proof of a Buddhist reality ; on the contrary it attests Buddhism was unknown of the Alexandrine intellectual spheres and was far from being something of a threat for the Church of Alexandria, even though it was soaring in the Indian North East.
Ovide conteur d’histoire : les Lupercales (Fastes II.267-462) .
Authors: Ver Eecke Marie 
Published: December 2014

History in Ovid’s tales: the Lupercalia (Fasti 2.267-462).
The poet Ovid also is, in his way, an historian; if the long passage devoted to the Lupercalia may seem odd, yet it gives evidence of his erudition and explains the evolution of the ceremony, from the mythic time of the origins to its Augustan restoration: intertwining past and present in the atemporal frame of the calendar, the story of the Lupercalia also tells the history of Rome, from its foundation to the golden age opened by Augustus.
Un’eroina nel racconto di Servio: Lucrezia
Authors: Ramires Giuseppe 
Published: December 2014

Une héroïne dans le récit de Servius : Lucrèce.
Lucrèce est la belle et chaste noble dame romaine qui se suicide devant ses proches après avoir été violée par l’un des fils de Tarquin le Superbe. Sa mort trouvera sa vengeance dans le bannissement du dernier roi de Rome. Le récit de cette petite tragédie nous est conservé par Tite-Live, Denys d’Halicarnasse et Ovide, et il est cité par bien d’autres auteurs. Dans son commentaire à l’Enéide, Servius raconte lui aussi l’histoire de Lucrèce, mais en y introduisant certaines variantes qui accentuent aussi bien le caractère tragique que le caractère érotique de l’épisode. Nous fournissons un nouveau texte critique de Servius et, contrairement à ce qu’a jusqu’à présent soutenu la critique, nous considérons que, loin d’être le fruit de l’imagination de Servius, les innovations procèdent d’un choix auctorial, Servius ayant mêlé plusieurs sources — dont certaines sont évidemment perdues —, opération caractéristique, du reste, de toute compilation mythographique.
Les documents d’archives dans la Vita Commodi : degré zéro de l’histoire ou fiction ?
Authors: Molinier Arbo Agnès 
Published: December 2014

Archival documents in the Vita Commodi: zero degree of history or fiction?
The senatorial acclamations which end Commodus’ Life in the Historia Augusta are the only archival document of the Historia Augusta whose unauthenticity could not be proved in a decisive way. The examination of what seems to be two fragments of the Acta Senatus does not indeed prohibit accepting the author's assertion when he claims to quote them from Marius Maximus, contemporary biographer of Commodus and source of the first Vitae of the collection. Whithout excluding the possibility of some reelaboration by the latter instead of the biographer of Historia Augusta, we are tempted to consider them as authentic. Suetonius in his Twelve Caesars often relies on the testimony of documents drawn from the senatorial and imperial archives, but without producing entire extracts of them. His successors, like Marius Maximus, and much later, the author of the Historia Augusta, seem on the contrary to have inserted a great number of them (true or false ones), and sometimes of imposing size, in their imperial biographies.
