De l’improvisation à l’écriture. Utilisation de l’écriture dans la méthode du théâtre institutionnel
Authors: Badache René 
Published: March 2015

Dans un contexte d’improvisations orales issues des techniques du théâtre de l’Opprimé et développées par le théâtre forum, permettant de susciter l’émergence d’une conscience et d’une action collectives, l’idée de la rédaction d’un écrit collectif à partir de subjectivités plurielles, à la fin de la séance, a fini par s’imposer à l’Arc-en-ciel théâtre. Cette pratique ouvre alors pour chaque « spectacteur », selon le néologisme inventé par Augusto Boal, la possibilité, souvent ignorée par lui auparavant, de donner corps à une connaissance et à un jugement partagé sur ce qu’il a expérimenté, ce par quoi on définit la culture.
Vingt et un ans d’atelier d’écriture à La Moquette
Authors: Meyniard Laurent 
Published: March 2015

Les ateliers d’écriture des Compagnons de la nuit ont 21 ans. Un âge qui permet d’affirmer que la littérature est partie intégrante du travail social. D’une démarche éthique expérimentale initiée par des journalistes militants et menée par des écrivains, le travail social s’est saisi. Ici, l’écriture, par la rencontre qu’elle permet avec des lecteurs ainsi que par la possibilité qu’elle offre, « grâce à la phrase écrite, à la lecture pour soi et à la relecture en public, de trouver un sens nouveau à travers lequel l’auteur lui-même se manifeste, transformé, transfiguré », participe de la restauration de l’estime de soi et de la reconquête d’un pouvoir d’agir. Ainsi s’affirme une idée force : considérer que la littérature, quelle que soit sa forme ou sa qualité intrinsèque, est, au-delà d’un outil éducatif individuel, une pratique culturelle qui par sa dimension universelle transforme le lieu où elle se vit en un espace de transformation sociale.

Abstract
The proinflammatory microenvironment in the respiratory airway induces maturation of both resident and infiltrating dendritic cells (DCs) upon influenza A virus (IAV) infection. This results in upregulation of antiviral pathways as well as modulation of endocytic processes, which affect the susceptibility of DCs to IAV infection. Therefore, it is highly relevant to understand how IAV interacts with and infects mature DCs. To investigate how different subsets of human myeloid DCs (MDCs) involved in tissue inflammation are affected by inflammatory stimulation during IAV infection, we stimulated primary blood MDCs and inflammatory monocyte-derived DCs (MDDCs) with TLR ligands, resulting in maturation. Interestingly, MDDCs but not MDCs were protected against IAV infection after LPS (TLR4) stimulation. In contrast, stimulation with TLR7/8 ligand protected MDCs but not MDDCs from IAV infection. The reduced susceptibility to IAV infection correlated with induction of type I IFNs. We found that differential expression of TLR4, TRIF, and MyD88 in the two MDC subsets regulated the ability of the cells to enter an antiviral state upon maturation. This difference was functionally confirmed using small interfering RNA and inhibitors. Our data show that different human MDC subsets may play distinct roles during IAV infection, as their capacity to induce type I IFNs is dependent on TLR-specific maturation, resulting in differential susceptibility to IAV infection.
On the Maximum Curvature of Closed Curves in Negatively Curved Manifolds
Authors: Brendle Simon , Chodosh Otis 
Published: March 2015

AbstractMotivated by Almgren’s work on the isoperimetric inequality, we prove a sharp inequality relating the length and maximum curvature of a closed curve in a complete, simply connected manifold of sectional curvature at most −1. Moreover, if equality holds, then the norm of the geodesic curvature is constant and the torsion vanishes. The proof involves an application of the maximum principle to a function defined on pairs of points.
The a Posteriori Error Estimates for Chebyshev-Galerkin Spectral Methods in One Dimension
Authors: Zhou Jianwei 
Published: March 2015

AbstractIn this paper, the Chebyshev-Galerkin spectral approximations are employed to investigate Poisson equations and the fourth order equations in one dimension. Meanwhile, p-version finite element methods with Chebyshev polynomials are utilized to solve Poisson equations. The efficient and reliable a posteriori error estimators are given for different models. Furthermore, the a priori error estimators are derived independently. Some numerical experiments are performed to verify the theoretical analysis for the a posteriori error indicators and a priori error estimations.
Efficient and Accurate Numerical Solutions for Helmholtz Equation in Polar and Spherical Coordinates
Authors: Wang Kun , Wong Yau Shu , Deng Jian 
Published: March 2015

AbstractThis paper presents new finite difference schemes for solving the Helmholtz equation in the polar and spherical coordinates. The most important result presented in this study is that the developed difference schemes are pollution free, and their convergence orders are independent of the wave number k. Let h denote the step size, it will be demonstrated that when solving the Helmholtz equation at large wave numbers and considering kh is fixed, the errors of the proposed new schemes decrease as h decreases even when k is increasing and kh > 1.
The Split-Operator Technique for the Study of Spinorial Wavepacket Dynamics
Authors: Chaves A. , Farias G. A. , Peeters F. M. , Ferreira R. 
Published: March 2015

AbstractThe split-operator technique for wave packet propagation in quantum systems is expanded here to the case of propagatingwave functions describing Schrödinger particles, namely, charge carriers in semiconductor nanostructures within the effective mass approximation, in the presence of Zeeman effect, as well as of Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions. We also demonstrate that simple modifications to the expanded technique allow us to calculate the time evolution of wave packets describing Dirac particles, which are relevant for the study of transport properties in graphene.
Accurate Simulation of Circular and Elliptic Cylindrical Invisibility Cloaks
Authors: Yang Zhiguo , Wang Li-Lian 
Published: March 2015

AbstractThe coordinate transformation offers a remarkable way to design cloaks that can steer electromagnetic fields so as to prevent waves from penetrating into thecloaked region(denoted by Ω0, where the objects inside are invisible to observers outside). The ideal circular and elliptic cylindrical cloaked regions are blown up from a point and a line segment, respectively so the transformed material parameters and the corresponding coefficients of the resulted equations are highly singular at the cloaking boundary ∂Ω0. The electric field or magnetic field is not continuous across ∂Ω0. The imposition of appropriatecloaking boundary conditions(CBCs) to achieve perfect concealment is a crucial but challenging issue.Based upon the principle that a well-behaved electromagnetic field in the original space must be well-behaved in the transformed space as well, we obtain CBCs that intrinsically relate to the essential “pole” conditions of a singular transformation. We also find that for the elliptic cylindrical cloak, the CBCs should be imposed differently for the cosine-elliptic and sine-elliptic components of the decomposed fields. With these at our disposal, we can rigorously show that the governing equation in Ω0can be decoupled from the exterior region, and the total fields in the cloaked region vanish under mild conditions. We emphasize that our proposal of CBCs is different from any existing ones.Using the exact circular (resp., elliptic) Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) non-reflecting boundary conditions to reduce the unbounded domainto a bounded domain, we introduce an accurate and efficient Fourier-Legendre spectral-element method (FLSEM) (resp., Mathieu-Legendre spectral-element method (MLSEM)) to simulate the circular cylindrical cloak (resp., elliptic cylindrical cloak). We provide ample numerical results to demonstrate that the perfect concealment of waves can be achieved for the ideal circular/elliptic cylindrical cloaks under our proposed CBCs and accurate numerical solvers.
Teaching Life Writing Texts in Europe
Authors: Kersten Dennis , Mreijen Anne-Marie 
Published: March 2015

Although courses on auto/biography and life writing are taught at different universities in Europe, and elements of contemporary life writing issues are addressed in different disciplines like sociology and history, life writing courses, as described in Teaching Life Writing Texts, are certainly not taught at all European universities. Also, quite a few teachers of life writing courses have to devise their own curricula and syllabi – as Richard Holmes demonstrated in "The Proper Study?”, an essay on teaching auto/biography - treading on unknown territory and unable to share their experiences with their colleagues. Apart from this, some life writing courses at European universities have had to make room for other courses when budgets are tight, as they are these days. Other university teachers struggle with the institutional framework they have to work in, operating in a specific faculty or masters programme context which poses limits as to which subjects to choose from and to discuss with the students. With these problems in mind, we thought it useful to share our experiences with other European teachers of life writing classes, and introduce a new cluster to the Journal of European Journal of Life Writing: “Teaching Life Writing in Europe.”In this cluster articles will be published which focus on the daily experience of teaching life writing classes, addressing questions like how to design a course about life writing that logically builds on and follows from your students’ knowledge, expertise and reading experience and does justice to current research as well. This article was submitted to the European Journal of Life Writing in December 2014 and published on 16 March 2015.
Beyond the Subject. New Developments in Life Writing
Authors: Heinrich Tobias , Soeting Monica 
Published: March 2015

Following two successful conferences in Amsterdam in 2009 and in Tallinn in 2011, the third IABA Europe biennial conference, held from 31 October to 3 November 2013 in Vienna and hosted by the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for the History and Theory of Biography, was entitled “Beyond the Subject. New Developments in Life Writing” and aimed at bridging the gap between historical forms of life writing and the most recent medial transformations in the genre of life writing, like personal websites, blogs and social networks as new spaces in the autobiographical public sphere. At the same time, the conference focused on auto/biographical practices that consciously undermine the traditional Western concept of the subject and develop alternative models of life writing.After the conference, participants were invited to submit articles based on their papers presented at the 2013 IABA Europe conference, to be published in the European Journal of Life Writing. In this section of the journal you will find more samples of the different topics that were addressed during the conference; the first six articles based on papers presented at the conference can be found in Volume III of the Journal. This article was submitted in December 2014 and published on 16 March 2015.
Regulation & governance-onderzoek in het rechtenonderwijs in Nederland

Regulation & governance-onderzoek in het rechtenonderwijs in Nederland. Stranger in a strange land?
Het onderzoeksdomein regulering en governance groeit gestaag sinds 2007. Toch weerspiegelt dit succes zich niet in de curricula van de rechtenopleidingen in Nederland. De kloof tussen het onderzoek en het onderwijs inspireert tot dit artikel. Eerst wordt dit onderzoeksveld afgebakend ten opzichte van klassiek wetgevingsonderwijs en de zogenaamde leg-reg studies. Kenmerkend voor de regulering-en-governancebenadering is de erkenning van de rol van niet-statelijke actoren en niet-hiërarchische vormen van gezag, terwijl de klassieke rechtsstaat wijkt voor een administratieve, regulerende overheid. Dit perspectief is bij uitstek multidisciplinair en empirisch, en zou een verrijking betekenen voor de opleiding van de toekomstige jurist. Personele, perceptieve en institutionele factoren verklaren waarom de bevindingen uit het regulering-en-governanceonderzoeksveld maar beperkt doorsijpelen naar het rechtenonderwijs. Vooral de perceptie van het veld als niet-juridisch lijkt van groot belang te zijn. Een blijvende ondervertegenwoordiging in het onderwijs zou een gemiste kans zijn, temeer omdat de rechtswetenschappen een unieke bijdrage kunnen leveren aan de reguleringsstudies door de instrumenteel ingestelde sociale wetenschappers vertrouwd te maken met normatieve vraagstukken.

De begrotingswet: een wet als iedere andere?
Authors: Borman T.C. 
Published: March 2015

De begrotingswet: een wet als iedere andere?
Jaarlijks worden er in Nederland circa tachtig begrotingswetten vastgesteld. Dat is een derde van het totale aantal wetten. Begrotingswetten volgen in beginsel dezelfde wetsprocedure als andere wetten, maar er zijn diverse wetstechnische en wetsprocedurele bijzonderheden. Een interessante vraag is of in begrotingswetten ook ‘gewone’ bepalingen kunnen worden opgenomen. Strikt formeel gesproken is dat mogelijk. Casuïstiek uit de afgelopen decennia laat zien dat dit af en toe gebeurt. Soms gaat het om nauw met de begroting samenhangende bepalingen, bijvoorbeeld tijdelijke afwijkingen van de comptabiliteitswetgeving (‘begrotingsruiters’). Een enkele keer gaat het echter een stap verder en worden in een begrotingswet bepalingen opgenomen die geen verband houden met de begroting (‘begrotingsparasieten’). Met name die laatste categorie is onwenselijk. Bovendien kan het na de inwerkingtreding van de Wet raadgevend referendum de vraag oproepen of dan nog sprake is van een wet inzake de begroting, bedoeld in artikel 105 lid 1 van de Grondwet, waarvoor de mogelijkheid van een referendum is uitgesloten. Gevaar voor oneigenlijk gebruik ligt dan op de loer.
Design of an Infrared Imaging System for Robotic Inspection of Gas Leaks in Industrial Environments
Authors: Barber Ramon , Rodriguez-Conejo Miguel A. , Melendez Juan , Garrido Santiago 
Published: March 2015

Gas detection can become a critical task in dangerous environments that involve hazardous or contaminant gases, and the use of imaging sensors provides an important tool for leakage location. This paper presents a new design for remote sensing of gas leaks based on infrared (IR) imaging techniques. The inspection system uses an uncooled microbolometer detector, operating over a wide spectral bandwidth, that features both low size and low power consumption. This equipment is boarded on a robotic platform, so that wide objects or areas can be scanned. The detection principle is based on the use of active imaging techniques, where the use of external IR illumination enhances the detection limit and allows the proposed system to operate in most cases independently from environmental conditions, unlike passive commercial approaches. To illustrate this concept, a fully radiometric description of the detection problem has been developed; CO2 detection has been demonstrated; and simulations of typical gas detection scenarios have been performed, showing that typical industrial leaks of CH4 are well within the detection limits. The mobile platform where the gas sensing system is going to be implemented is a robot called TurtleBot. The control of the mobile base and of the inspection device is integrated in ROS architecture. The exploration system is based on the technique of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) that makes it possible to locate the gas leak in the map.
Experiences of coercion to sterilize and forced sterilization among women living with HIV in Latin America
Authors: Kendall Tamil , Albert Claire 
Published: March 2015

IntroductionForced and coerced sterilization is an internationally recognized human rights violation reported by women living with HIV (WLHIV) around the globe. Forced sterilization occurs when a person is sterilized without her knowledge or informed consent. Coerced sterilization occurs when misinformation, intimidation tactics, financial incentives or access to health services or employment are used to compel individuals to accept the procedure.MethodsDrawing on community‐based research with 285 WLHIV from four Latin American countries (El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua), we conduct thematic qualitative analysis of reports of how and when healthcare providers pressured women to sterilize and multivariate logistic regression to assess whether social and economic characteristics and fertility history were associated with pressure to sterilize.ResultsA quarter (23%) of the participant WLHIV experienced pressure to sterilize post‐diagnosis. WLHIV who had a pregnancy during which they (and their healthcare providers) knew their HIV diagnosis were almost six times more likely to experience coercive or forced sterilization than WLHIV who did not have a pregnancy with a known diagnosis (OR 5.66 CI 95% 2.35–13.58 p≤0.001). WLHIV reported that healthcare providers told them that living with HIV annulled their right to choose the number and spacing of their children and their contraceptive method, employed misinformation about the consequences of a subsequent pregnancy for women's and children's health, and denied medical services needed to prevent vertical (mother‐to‐child) HIV transmission to coerce women into accepting sterilization. Forced sterilization was practiced during caesarean delivery.ConclusionsThe experiences of WLHIV indicate that HIV‐related stigma and discrimination by healthcare providers is a primary driver of coercive and forced sterilization. WLHIV are particularly vulnerable when seeking maternal health services. Health worker training on HIV and reproductive rights, improving counselling on HIV and sexual and reproductive health for WLHIV, providing State mechanisms to investigate and sanction coercive and forced sterilization, and strengthening civil society to increase WLHIV's capacity to resist coercion to sterilize can contribute to preventing coercive and forced sterilization. Improved access to judicial and non‐judicial mechanisms to procure justice for women who have experienced reproductive rights violations is also needed.
Economic Growth Volatility and Resource Curse: The Role of Financial Development
Authors: Moradbeigi Maryam , Law Siong Hook 
Published: March 2015

Abstract
We assess whether well-developed financial systems can moderate the positive association between oil volatility and growth volatility. To this end, we follow Beck et al’s proposition (2006) and distinguish between two different kinds of volatility, that is, oil terms of trade volatility, which is referred to as real shock and inflation volatility, which is referred to as monetary shock. Using data from a sample of 63 oil-producing countries for the period of 1981-2010, the empirical analysis confirms a negative link between the volatility of oil terms of trade and growth. However, we also found weak evidence that financial development dampens the effect of oil terms of trade volatility.
Gravity anomalies, crustal structure, and seismicity at subduction zones: 2. Interrelationships between fore‐arc structure and seismogenic behavior
Authors: Bassett Dan , Watts Anthony B. 
Published: March 2015

AbstractAn ensemble‐averaging technique is used to remove the long‐wavelength topography and gravity field associated with subduction zones. Short‐wavelength residual anomalies are attributed to the tectonic structure of subducting and overthrusting plates. A paired (positive‐negative) fore‐arc anomaly is observed consisting of a long (>1000 km), linear, trench‐parallel ridge landward of the deep‐sea‐terrace basin. Ridges have amplitudes of 1500–3000 m and 160–240 mGal, wavelengths of 150–200 km, and high gravity anomaly to topography ratios (50–75 mGal km−1). The ridge crests correlate with the downdip limit of coseismic slip and strong interplate coupling and in Cascadia, the updip limit of tremor epicenters. The ridge crest may be interpreted as defining the boundary between the velocity‐weakening and seismogenic region of the subduction interface and the downdip frictional transition zone. In Tonga‐Kermadec, the Kuril Islands and Chile landward ridges are associated with extinct volcanic arcs. Paired anomalies are attributed to the preferential subduction erosion of the outer fore arc and a spatially varying combination of (a) lower crustal underplating beneath the inner fore arc, (b) the transformation of interseismic strain into permanent geologic strain via faulting, folding, or buckling of the inner fore arc, and (c) the relative trenchward migration of extinct volcanic arcs in regions operating with a net crustal deficit. Along‐strike transitions in fore‐arc morphology and seismogenic behavior are related to preexisting crustal structure of subducting and overthrusting plates. Fore arcs have the added potential of recording the time‐integrated response of the upper plate to subduction processes, and fore‐arc structure should be considered in tandem with seismological observations.
Effect of near‐terminus subglacial hydrology on tidewater glacier submarine melt rates

Published: March 2015

AbstractSubmarine melting of Greenlandic tidewater glacier termini is proposed as a possible mechanism driving their recent thinning and retreat. We use a general circulation model, MITgcm, to simulate water circulation driven by subglacial discharge at the terminus of an idealized tidewater glacier. We vary the spatial distribution of subglacial discharge emerging at the grounding line of the glacier and examine the effect on submarine melt volume and distribution. We find that subglacial hydrology exerts an important control on submarine melting; under certain conditions a distributed system can induce a factor 5 more melt than a channelized system, with plumes from a single channel inducing melt over only a localized area. Subglacial hydrology also controls the spatial distribution of melt, which has the potential to control terminus morphology and calving style. Our results highlight the need to constrain near‐terminus subglacial hydrology at tidewater glaciers if we are to represent ocean forcing accurately.
