Authors: Weintrit Adam , Kopacz Piotr , Bąk Andrzej , Uriasz Janusz , Naus Krzysztof 
Published: July 2013

Abstract
In consequence of the adoption of the Manila Amendments to the STCW Convention and Code, the ECDIS model course would need to be reviewed and updated. Accordingly, three Polish matitime academies/universities present common position what necessary steps should be taken to revise and update existing IMO model course on Operational Use of ECDIS. Notes and comments relate to both the current existing IMO model course 1.27 on operational use of ECDIS and its new version proposed by the United States in the document STW 43/3/1. Comments and remarks to revised draft model course 1.27 cover the following parts and topics: Course Framework, Course Outline and Timetable, Detailed Teaching Syllabus, Instructor Manual, Evaluation and Assessment, and appendices for the ECDIS Instructor: Introduction of Operational use of ECDIS, ECDIS Performance Standard references, ECDIS Carriage Requirements, STCW Manila Amendments on ECDIS, Training scenario types and scenario success, and Integrated navigation training example.
Traumatic Full-Thickness Infraspinatus and Teres Minor Tendon Tears
Authors: Cain E. Lyle , Andrachuk John , Wilk Kevin E. 
Published: July 2013

The patient was a 23-year-old male professional American football player who played wide receiver. He injured his right shoulder 3 days earlier during practice, diving to catch a pass and landing on his right arm while it was outstretched overhead. When he landed on the ground, the patient reported that he felt his right shoulder dislocate. Based on the patient's mechanism of injury and the findings of a physical examination by an orthopaedic surgeon and a physical therapist, radiographs and magnetic resonance imaging were ordered. Though the radiographs were interpreted as normal, magnetic resonance imaging revealed full-thickness infraspinatus and teres minor tendon tears at their insertion sites on the humerus.

Low Back Pain Following a Fall
Authors: Williams Michael J. 
Published: July 2013

The patient was a 29-year-old man who presented to an emergency department with a chief complaint of low back pain. Symptom onset occurred 3 weeks earlier, following a fall off a roof. The physician ordered radiographs of the thoracic and lumbar spines, which were interpreted as normal. After receiving the results of the radiographs, the physician referred the patient to a physical therapist working in the emergency department. Because of the strong suspicion for a fracture and because radiographs are not considered to be sensitive to some of the bony changes associated with fractures,1 computed tomography imaging of the thoracic and lumbar spines was ordered. The computed tomography imaging revealed multilevel, small end-plate compression defects, most marked at T12-L1, with mild anterior wedging and retropulsion of a small bone fragment at L1.

Evolutions mensuelles des effectifs des bénéficiaires de prestations
Authors: Barbier Jean-Claude 
Published: July 2013

La clientèle des Caisses d' allocations familiales ne constitue pas une population totalement figée : elle subit les contrecoups des modifications apportées à la législation des prestations familiales et dans une moindre mesure, elle est tributaire des évolutions socio-économiques. En outre, des évolutions mensuelles peuvent être repérées.
Depuis janvier 1983, la CAF de Saône- et-Loire établit des séries statistiques qui retracent les mouvements mensuels ( entrée/ sortie ) des bénéficiaires de chacune des prestations légales. Cinquante quatre mois d'observation (de janvier 1983 à juin 1987) permettent de dégager un certain nombre de constats dignes d'intérêt.
L ' article qui suit résume les principaux enseignements de l'étude de la CAF de Saône- et-Loire ainsi que des compléments apportés par François Lagarde.
L'accueil des jeunes enfants à travers les recherches de l'IRTS et du CREDOC
Authors: Leprince Frédérique 
Published: July 2013

Dans le cadre du programme de recherche lancé par la CNAF sur "Activité féminine : vie professionnelle - vie familiale", deux recherches portaient spécifiquement sur l'accueil des jeunes enfants dont les parents exercent une activité professionnelle.
Toutes deux terminées récemment éclairent un domaine encore mal connu et sur lequel beaucoup reste à faire.
Sociologie de la famille et sociologie de l 'intérêt
Authors: Singly François de 
Published: July 2013

Mariage d'amour ou mariage de raison, quel intérêt hommes et femmes trouvent ils à leur vie commune ? Deux ordres d'explication sont souvent recherchés. Le premier est économique. La spécialisation des rôles dans le mariage permettrait une meilleure efficacité économique collective. Mais cette vision rencontre vite deux limites : que doit-on prendre en ligne de compte et à quel moment fait on le bilan ? Selon les hypothèses retenues le solde peut apparaître très différent pour chacun des conjoints. Une deuxième thèse fait appel à l 'hypothèse d'incomplétude : dans un éventail de possibilités socialement ouvertes, chacun ne peut en explorer qu'un nombre limité. Vivre en couple, puis avoir des enfants, permettrait, par personnes interposées, d 'élargir son champ d 'expériences et de savoirs, son capital social.
Mais en fin de compte ces deux approches ne butent elles pas sur le même écueil, celui de leur impossible explicitation ? L 'union ne peut être durable en effet que si les comptes ne sont pas faits et si est entretenue l 'illusion de la gratuité, autrement appelée amour. A moins que cette gratuité, connue et reconnue par tous, ne soit un moyen de faire voir qu'à côté de capitaux sociaux et économiques, l 'on dispose aussi de qualités humaines. L 'amour serait ainsi, lui aussi, intéressé.
Un dispositif qui déplace la frontière entre profanes et professionnels de la justice en rapprochant les agents administratifs et les magistrats
Authors: Choquet Luc-Henry 
Published: July 2013

La loi du 22 décembre 1984 a confié aux Caisses d'allocations familiales la tâche de se substituer aux créancières par subrogation dans le recouvrement des pensions alimentaires et de verser l'allocation de soutien familial (ASF) comme avance sur la créance alimentaire. Cette dernière est non recouvrable lorsque le débiteur est considéré "hors d'état" de faire face à son obligation d'entretenir l'enfant. La mise en œuvre de ce dispositif conduit à une transformation qualitative importante de l'activité administrative au sein des Caisses d'allocations familiales.
D une part, une série d 'apprentissages a rendu les agents des Caisses compétents pour évaluer les situations "floues", dans le cadre dune activité qui relève dune recherche de la justesse (et d'une décision adaptée simultanément aux situations et à la réglementation), comme d'une recherche de la justice (et d'une décision qui permette la réalisation de l 'obligation alimentaire qui est d 'ordre public).
D'autre part, la dimension collective et réglementée de la décision au sein des Caisses qui s 'oppose à l 'aspect individuel et peu formalisé de la décision en matière de créance alimentaire, au sein des tribunaux, a constitué le facteur décisif d'un déplacement de la frontière des compétences sociales et techniques, entre agents et magistrats. Ce déplacement de la frontière, en contribuant à augmenter la distance entre les agents des Caisses et les profanes et en contribuant à réduire la distance entre ces mêmes agents et les professionnels de la justice, a mis les agents des Caisses en position d'initié, tel un rite de passage. Ce déplacement renvoie à un enjeu normatif : il correspond aussi à une transformation des critères discriminant les situations qui conduit à terme, avec la formalisation de nouvelles catégories d'ayant-droit ou de hors d'état, à une modification de la prise en charge de la solidarité familiale par la collectivité.
Fonctionnaires internationaux à Genève : le poids du privilège
Authors: Adly Hossam 
Published: July 2013

À Genève, la perception des fonctionnaires internationaux est passée de l’enthousiasme qui a accompagné l’installation de la Société des Nations en 1920 à l’accusation récente de faire monter les prix du logement. Le développement urbain et économique de la ville est passé par un processus en trois étapes qui a mené à l’invention d’une minorité urbaine privilégiée : la « communauté internationale ». Comment cette population, hétérogène par la nationalité, le sexe, l’âge ou encore la fonction, a constitué une « communauté » ? En retour, comment et en quels termes, les fonctionnaires internationaux se reconnaissent-ils comme d’une communauté fondée sur leur « commune internationalité » et se démarquent-ils des « locaux » ? Cette enquête ethnographique, dans une agence de l’ onu , contribue à une anthropologie urbaine d’une minorité cosmopolite.
Les migrants à Hanoï : Construction politique d'un groupe social dominé
Authors: Pulliat Gwenn 
Published: July 2013

Cet article analyse la façon dont la politique d’enregistrement résidentiel au Vietnam attribue l’étiquette de « migrants » à une « population flottante » aux pratiques migratoires variées, circulant entre Hanoï et son hinterland . Elle s’accompagne d’une différenciation des droits sociaux qui assigne ces « migrants » à un statut social infériorisé ; elle entérine les rapports sociaux de domination entre « résidents » et « migrants » et construit une minorité dominée.
Fluctuations de jeunes chinois autour d'une destruction urbaine à Canton
Authors: Selim Monique 
Published: July 2013

Cet article analyse la formation et les développements d’un groupe de jeunes chinois mobilisés par la destruction d’un ancien quartier de Canton, capitale du sud de la Chine. Fondé sur une investigation anthropologique, il met en scène les ambiguïtés et les contradictions internes à cette initiative qui a des difficultés à formuler ses objectifs ; en effet la conservation du bâti est quasiment impensable compte tenu de sa dégradation avancée et les habitants sont réduits au rôle de marionnettes dans l’esprit des jeunes. L’auteure donne à voir la complexité d’une scène au sein de laquelle s’entremêlent la peur d’affronter l’État-parti et des espoirs flous d’ascension sociale prenant pour enjeux la mémoire et la culture. La réflexion porte sur le caractère emblématique de cette expérience urbaine qui témoigne d’une « société civile » embryonnaire, dont les destinées restent incertaines dans le contexte politique autoritaire régnant.
CHANGES OF VON WILLEBRAND FACTOR DURING PREGNANCY IN WOMEN WITHOUT AND WITH VON WILLEBRAND DISEASE
Authors: Castaman Giancarlo 
Published: July 2013

Delivery in von Willebrand disease (VWD) represents a significant hemostatic challenge because of the variable pattern of changes observed during pregnancy of von Willebrand factor (VWF) and factor VIII (FVIII), the protein carried by VWF. The wide heterogeneity of phenotypes and of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms associated with this disorder prompt a careful evaluation of pregnant women with VWD to plan the most appropriate treatment at time of parturition. VWF and FVIII increase significantly during pregnancy in normal women, already within the first trimester, reaching levels by far > 100 U/dL by the time of parturition. In women with VWD, levels at baseline of VWF and FVIII > 30 U/dL are usually associated with a high likelihood to achieve normal levels at the end of pregnancy and specific anti-hemorrhagic prophylaxis is seldom required. Women with basal level < 20 U/dL usually have a poor increase since most of these women carry mutations associated with increased VWF clearance or are compound heterozygous for different VWF mutations which prevent the achievement of satisfactory hemostatic levels. While women with mutations associated with increased clearance show a full, albeit transitory correction of their hemostatic deficiency after desmopressin administration, compound heterozygous need replacement therapy because they do not respond well to this agent. Patients with abnormal VWF:RCo/VWF:Ag ratio at baseline (e.g. < 0.6), typically associated with type 2 VWD, maintain the abnormality throughout pregnancy and VWF:RCo usually does not attain safe levels ³ 50 U/dL. These women require replacement therapy with VWF-FVIII concentrates. Delayed post-partum bleeding may occur when replacement therapy is not continued for some days. Tranexamic acid may be useful at discharge to avoid excessive lochia.
Modeling the Photoinduced Reconfiguration and Directed Motion of Polymer Gels
Authors: Kuksenok Olga , Balazs Anna C. 
Published: July 2013

AbstractA remarkable feature of certain biological species is their ability to dramatically alter their shape in response to environmental cues. Here, a computational model for photoresponsive polymer gels that contain spirobenzopyran (SP) chromophores is developed, and it is shown that these materials can undergo 3D biomimetic shape changes under non‐uniform illumination. The SP moieties are hydrophilic in the dark, but become hydrophobic under illumination with blue light. Hence, with the incorporation of these chromophores into gels in aqueous solutions, light can be harnessed to control the gel's swelling or shrinking and, thereby, dynamically alter the gel's shape. The model is first validated by determining the effects of uniform illumination on the temperature‐induced volume phase transitions in these gels, and show good agreement between these results and available experimental data. These gels can also be patterned remotely and reversibly by illuminating the samples through photomasks and, thus, molded into a variety of shapes with feature sizes on the submillimeter length scale. Furthermore, by repeatedly rastering the light source over the sample, the system can be driven to exhibit another biomimetic behavior: sustained, directed motion. The introduction of a temperature gradient provides a means of further controlling this autonomous movement. The results point to a robust method for controllably reconfiguring the morphology of soft materials and driving the self‐organization of multiple reconfigurable pieces into complex architectures.
Structure and properties of polypropylene/high‐density polyethylene blends by solid equal channel angular extrusion
Authors: Li Hong , Huang Chengya , Huang Xun 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTThe solid equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) process on polypropylene (PP)/high‐density polyethylene (HDPE) blends was carried out. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the sample structures. Results showed that ECAE process could make PP/HDPE blends to produce orientation structure. Impact performance of ECAE‐PP/HDPE samples after ECAE process improved remarkably, especially for ECAE‐PP/HDPE (90/10)‐O whose impact strength reached 91.91 kJ/m2, 18.1 times higher than that of pure PP and 11.2 times higher than that of PP/HDPE (90/10). The mechanism of enhancing between HDPE and PP was discussed. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014, 131, 39759.
The prominence of a tropical convective signal in the wintertime Arctic temperature
Authors: Yoo Changhyun , Feldstein Steven B. , Lee Sukyoung 
Published: July 2013

AbstractPower spectral analysis reveals that the Arctic temperature averaged over 60°N–90°N oscillates on intraseasonal time scales, centered at about 40 days. We present evidence that this intraseasonal peak is strongly tied to the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO), the dominant mode of tropical intraseasonal variability. Although an MJO/extratropical surface air temperature relationship has been found in previous studies, our results indicate that this relationship is more prevalent than previously recognized and is strongest at the Arctic surface. This bottom‐heavy temperature structure suggests that Arctic surface warming can arise from remote processes, and not necessarily from surface albedo feedback as previously argued.
A systematic approach to document cyclotide distribution in plant species from genomic, transcriptomic, and peptidomic analysis
Authors: Gerlach Samantha L. , Göransson Ulf , Kaas Quentin , Craik David J. , Mondal Debasis , Gruber Christian W. 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTCyclotides are a large family of plant peptides characterized by their cyclic cystine knot composed of a circular backbone and three disulfide bonds that impart exceptional stability. They, and several acyclic variants, have been isolated from plants within the Rubiaceae, Violaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae, Solanaceae, and Poaceae families. A variety of chemical and genetic approaches have been applied for the discovery and characterization of cyclotides. As investigations of cyclotide expression, distribution, and phylogeny rapidly increase, the authors have proposed the inclusion of information pertaining to plant species that have been analyzed but do not appear to express cyclotides into the CyBase database. CyBase is dedicated to providing web tools and information about cyclic peptides and proteins to the scientific community. Including detailed information about sampling and analysis parameters of plant species that have been investigated but not published elsewhere should assist in the process of selecting species for establishing new cyclotide discovery projects, as well as for detailed reanalysis using alternative technical approaches. In summary, the collection and deposition of all plant species that have been examined (whether cyclotides have been found or not) would help to impart a deeper understanding of cyclotide discovery, evolution, and physiological function. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two forms and two faces, multiple states and multiple uses: Properties and applications of the self‐assembling fungal hydrophobins
Authors: Ren Qin , Kwan Ann H. , Sunde Margaret 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTThe fungal hydrophobins are small proteins that are able to spontaneously self‐assemble into amphipathic monolayers at hydrophobic:hydrophilic interfaces. These protein monolayers can reverse the wettability of a surface, making them suitable for increasing the biocompatibility of many hydrophobic materials. The self‐assembling properties and amphipathic nature of hydrophobins make them attractive candidates for biotechnological applications. Recently, there have been significant advances in the understanding of the structure and assembly of these remarkable proteins. This opens up the way for engineering these proteins to encompass novel functions and for the use of hydrophobins in modification of nanomaterials. This review highlights the important structural aspects of the hydrophobins and the mechanisms by which they assemble and describes recent exciting developments in the use of hydrophobins for cell attachment, drug delivery, and protein purification. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTThe effect of light quality on cell size and cell cycle, growth rate, productivity, photosynthetic efficiency and biomass composition of the marine prasinophyte Tetraselmis suecica F&M‐M33 grown in 2‐L flat panel photobioreactors illuminated with light emitting diodes (LEDs) of different colors was investigated. Biomass productivity and photosynthetic efficiency were comparable between white and red light, while under blue and green light productivity decreased to less than half and photosynthetic efficiency to about one third. Differences in cell size and number correlated with the cell cycle phase. Under red light cells were smaller and more motile. Chlorophyll content was strongly reduced with red and enhanced with blue light, while carotenoids and gross biomass composition were not affected by light quality. The eicosapentaenoic acid content increased under red light. Red light can substitute white light without affecting productivity of T. suecica F&M‐M33, leading to smaller and more motile cells and increased eicosapentaenoic acid content. Red LEDs can thus be profitably used for the production of this microalga for aquaculture. Biotechnol. Biotechnol. Bioeng. 2014;111: 956–964. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
Sociooccupational and physical outcomes more than 20 years after the diagnosis of osteosarcoma in children and adolescents
Authors: Ottaviani Giulia , Robert Rhonda S. , Huh Winston W. , Palla Shana , Jaffe Norman 
Published: July 2013

BACKGROUNDTo the best of the authors' knowledge, there has been relatively little research published to date regarding very long‐term survivors of childhood and adolescent osteosarcoma. In the current study, the authors compared the very long‐term survival outcomes of patients with osteosarcoma who were treated with either limb salvage procedures or amputation.METHODSA total of 38 patients with osteosarcoma who survived ≥ 20 years from the time of diagnosis were divided into 2 groups according to whether they underwent amputation or limb salvage. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire concerning their education, employment, annual income, marital status, health insurance, lifestyle, siblings, and all current and past health issues.RESULTSEducation, employment, marital status, and health insurance were not found to differ significantly between the 2 groups of survivors, who described themselves as being similar to their siblings. Eight percent of survivors underwent secondary amputation because of complications with an endoprosthesis. The cumulative incidence of second primary neoplasms was 13%, and this finding was significantly higher in females and in survivors who underwent radiotherapy and had a genetic predisposition. The second primary malignancies were breast cancer (ductal invasive carcinoma, ductal in situ carcinoma, and leiomyosarcoma), mediastinal leiomyosarcoma, and squamocellular carcinoma of the oral cavity and the uterine cervix. Amputees required more assistive walking support than survivors who received limb salvage treatment (P < .05, chi‐square test).CONCLUSIONSDespite the many challenges that osteosarcoma survivors face, patients who survived ≥ 20 years after their initial diagnosis reported having overall adjusted well to their physical limitations and were productive individuals.

Well‐balanced high‐order solver for blood flow in networks of vessels with variable properties
Authors: Müller Lucas O. , Toro Eleuterio F. 
Published: July 2013

ABSTRACTWe present a well‐balanced, high‐order non‐linear numerical scheme for solving a hyperbolic system that models one‐dimensional flow in blood vessels with variable mechanical and geometrical properties along their length. Using a suitable set of test problems with exact solution, we rigorously assess the performance of the scheme. In particular, we assess the well‐balanced property and the effective order of accuracy through an empirical convergence rate study. Schemes of up to fifth order of accuracy in both space and time are implemented and assessed. The numerical methodology is then extended to realistic networks of elastic vessels and is validated against published state‐of‐the‐art numerical solutions and experimental measurements. It is envisaged that the present scheme will constitute the building block for a closed, global model for the human circulation system involving arteries, veins, capillaries and cerebrospinal fluid.
