Reframing place-based economic development in South Africa: the example of local economic development
Authors: Rogerson Christian M. 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Local Economic Development (LED) planning is a place-based approach to development planning and increasingly significant across much of the global South. One of the key challenges facing LED planning is the necessity to adjust planning in relation to the dynamic nature of both international and national framework conditions. The purpose of this article is to show this challenge by examining the dynamic nature of the national policy environment impacting upon LED planning in South Africa, a country which has a relatively long history of LED planning. Five dimensions of the changing landscape of national economic development planning in South Africa are identified. These relate to (a) LED within the context of new national economic and development plans; (b) initiatives for reindustrialising the South African economy, the associated importance of localisation and promotion of the green economy; (c) changing programmes around small business development; (d) shifts in rural development interventions; and (e) the fluid spatial context within which LED planning as a form of placebased economic development is embedded.

Abstract
The development of housing, services and industry as well as the accompanying infrastructure leads to the intensification of urbanisation processes and changes in land use structure. The area of land characterised by urban use is increasing. The above trend is also observed in Eastern Poland despite its predominantly rural character and the absence of metropolitan areas exerting great pressure on the local landscape, contributing to regional development and enhancing the region’s competitiveness. The paper discusses changes in land use structure in developed and urban areas in Eastern Poland. The analysis includes five Polish voivodeships (Lubelskie, Podkarpackie, Podlaskie, Świętokrzyskie and Warmińsko-Mazurskie) characterised by the lowest GDP per capita in the EU-25. For this reason, Eastern Poland will receive aid as part of the ‘Development of Eastern Poland’ Operational Program 2007-2013. This is the only supra-regional program in the European Union which promotes social and economic growth in underdeveloped regions by co-financing projects in urban development, road construction and tourism promotion. The analysis of changes in the share of developed and urban areas in total land area as well as changes in local land use structure (subgroups) covers the period of 2007-2013. The data relating to land use structure was supplied by the Head Office of Geodesy and Cartography. It was used to determine the scale and rate of urbanisation in the analysed voivodeships (regions) and their constituent poviats (counties) with special emphasis on suburban areas. The results were presented in the form of cartograms and thematic maps with the use of GIS tools. The GIS tools support the visualisation of the spatial distribution of the analysed phenomena.
Spatial analysis of ethnopolitical mobilisation in the Caucasus in the 1980s and 1990s
Authors: Jelen Libor 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
The paper aims to create a set of indicators which could best explain the varying intensity of ethnopolitical mobilisation in the Caucasian region. Selected data on social indicators of individual Caucasian territorial units are examined with help of correlation and regression analysis. The analysis results also show relations among individual social indicators which can help understand social and ethnic processes within the units.
Effects of patterned Artemisia capillaris on overland flow resistance under varied rainfall intensities in the Loess Plateau of China

Published: November 2014

Abstract
In this paper simulated rainfall experiments in laboratory were conducted to quantify the effects oƒ patchy distributed Artemisia capillaris on spatial and temporal variations oƒ the Darcy-Weisbach friction coefficient (f). Different intensities oƒ 60, 90, 120, and 150 mm h-1 were applied on a bare plot (CK) and four different patched patterns: a checkerboard pattern (CP), a banded pattern perpendicular to slope direction (BP), a single long strip parallel to slope direction (LP), and a pattern with small patches distributed like the letter ‘X’ (XP). Each plot underwent two sets oƒ experiments, intact plant and root plots (the above-ground parts were removed). Results showed that mean ƒ for A. capillaris patterned treatments was 1.25-13.0 times oƒ that for CK. BP, CP, and XP performed more effectively than LP in increasing hydraulic roughness. The removal oƒ grass shoots significantly reduced f. A negative relationship was found between mean ƒ for the bare plot and rainfall intensity, whereas for grass patterned plots fr (mean ƒ in patterned plots divided by that for CK) increased exponentially with rainfall intensity. The ƒ -Re relation was best fitted by a power function. Soil erosion rate can be well described using ƒ by a power-law relationship
Synergic hydraulic and nutritional feedback mechanisms control surface patchiness of biological soil crusts on tertiary sands at a post-mining site
Authors: Fischer Thomas , Gypser Stella , Subbotina Maria , Veste Maik 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
In a recultivation area located in Brandenburg, Germany, five types of biocrusts (initial BSC1, developed BSC2 and BSC3, mosses, lichens) and non-crusted mineral substrate were sampled on tertiary sand deposited in 1985- 1986 to investigate hydrologic interactions between crust patches. Crust biomass was lowest in the non-crusted substrate, increased to the initial BSC1 and peaked in the developed BSC2, BSC3, the lichens and the mosses. Water infiltration was highest on the substrate, and decreased to BSC2, BSC1 and BSC3. Non-metric multidimensional scaling revealed that the lichens and BSC3 were associated with water soluble nutrients and with pyrite weathering products, thus representing a high nutrient low hydraulic feedback mode. The mosses and BSC2 represented a low nutrient high hydraulic feedback mode. These feedback mechanisms were considered as synergic, consisting of run-off generating (low hydraulic) and run-on receiving (high hydraulic) BSC patches. Three scenarios for BSC succession were proposed. (1) Initial BSCs sealed the surface until they reached a successional stage (represented by BSC1) from which the development into either of the feedback modes was triggered, (2) initial heterogeneities of the mineral substrate controlled the development of the feedback mode, and (3) complex interactions between lichens and mosses occurred at later stages of system development.
Dissolution of mimetite Pb5(AsO4)3Cl in malic acid solutions
Authors: Turek Piotr , Bajda Tomasz , Manecki Maciej 
Published: November 2014

Abstract
Mimetite Pb5(AsO4)3Cl is the most insoluble lead arsenate mineral and could be used in remediation techniques to reduce As(V) mobility in soils. However, low-molecular-weight organic acids such as malic acid increase its solubility. The effect of malic acid on the dissolution of mimetite strongly depends on the pH of the equilibrium solution. At low pH, mimetite is decomposed mostly by the mechanism of protonation. With increasing pH, the solubility of mimetite decreases and a greater influence in its dissolution is ascribed to complexation of Pb(II) by organic ligands. During dissolution experiments, the amount of arsenic released to solution was > 26% higher in organic solutions than in inorganic solutions, and the amount of lead was > 8% greater. The solubility product of mimetite (KSP) was calculated in order to quantify the thermodynamic stability of the investigated mineral. The value obtained, i.e., -24.52 ± 0.49 fluctuates between the values of -21.69 ± 1.05 and -27.87 ± 0.42 reported in the literature.

Abstract

Background.
Helicobacter pylori infection is the main cause of gastric cancer. The disease progression is influenced by the host inflammatory responses, and cytokine single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may have a role in the course of the disease. The aim of our study was to investigate proinflammatory cytokine polymorphisms, previously associated with the development of gastric cancer, in a Slovenian population.

Patients and methods. In total 318 patients and controls were selected for the study and divided into three groups: (i) patients with gastric cancer (n = 58), (ii) patients with chronic gastritis (n = 60) and (iii) healthy control group (n = 200). H. pylori infection in patient groups was determined by serology, histology and culture. Four proinflammatory gene polymorphisms were determined (IL-1β, IL-1rα, TNF-α, TLR-4) in all subjects.

Results. We found a statistically significant difference between males and females for the groups (p = 0.025). Odds ratio (OR) for gastric cancer risk for females was 0.557 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.233―1.329) and for chronic gastritis 2.073 (95% CI: 1.005―4.277). IL-1B-511*T/T homozygous allele for cancer group had OR = 2.349 (95% CI: 0.583―9.462), heterozygous IL-1B-511*T had OR = 1.470 (95% CI: 0.583―3.709) and heterozygotes in TNF-A-308 genotype for chronic gastritis had OR = 1.402 (95% CI: 0.626―3.139). Other alleles had OR less than 1.

Conclusions. We could not prove association between gastric cancer and chronic gastritis due to H. pylori in any cytokine SNPs studied in Slovenian population. Other SNPs might be responsible besides infection with H. pylori for the progression from atrophy to neoplastic transformation.

The suspicion of autoimmune disease primarily starts with clinical symptoms. The ELISA and IIF (indirect immunofluorescence) on HEp-2 cell methods are comparable for detecting ANA in patient with auto immune diseases (AID). 102 patients attending Rheumatology out patient department as new or old cases with provisional diagnosis of SLE, RA, MCTD and other Connective Tissue disorder (CTD) screened for specific autoantibody by ELISA (anti CCP, ANA and anti dsDNA) were subjected to indirect immunofluorescence on HEp-2 cell line. Diagnostic accuracy based on ELISA and indirect immunoflurescence on HEp-2 cell line showed the results of sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, accuracy of ANA were found to be 78.9%, 33.3%, 78.9%, 33.3%. 68% respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and the accuracy of anti-dsDNA was 80%, 40%, 80%.40% and 70% respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and the accuracy of anti CCP was found to be 64.3%, 72.2%, 64.3%, 72.2% and 68.8% respectively. The results indicates there is a need for screening all suspected autoimmune patient by indirect immunofluorescence on HEp-2 cell line before going to specific test.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjmm.v7i1.19315 Bangladesh J Med Microbiol 2013; 07(01): 11-14
La légende de la consécration par le Christ de la basilique mérovingienne de Saint-Denis et de la guérison du lépreux
Authors: Lombard-Jourdan Anne 
Published: November 2014

La légende de la consécration par le Christ de la basilique mérovingienne de Saint-Denis et de la guérison du lépreux.
L'anniversaire de la dédicace de la première basilique était fêté à l'abbaye de Saint-Denis le 24 février depuis la fin du IXe siècle au moins. La légende de la consécration par le Christ de l'église mérovingienne, prétendument construite par Dagobert Ier, fut composée à la fin du XIe siècle ; elle raconte la guérison par Jésus d'un lépreux, qui porta témoignage du miracle auprès du roi et des évêques. Le thème de la consécration miraculeuse se retrouve aux origines de plusieurs églises.
Pour Léon Levillain, le 24 février était la date de la dédicace de la première église dionysienne, qu'il croyait carolingienne. L'auteur montre qu'il s'agit de la première basilique mérovingienne élevée à Cadolacus, celle dédiée à, saint Pierre, qui accueillit les restes de saint Denis et de ses compagnons de martyre, lorsqu'ils y furent translatés depuis Yecclesia senior de Paris. La légende eut pour but de justifier la date liturgique du 24 février après que l'église fût passée sous le patronage principal de saint Denis, d'en fixer l'année à 636 et de consolider la tradition qui faisait de Dagobert un fondateur.
La guérison d'un lépreux se rencontre fréquemment en hagiographie. A Saint-Denis, elle s'appuie sur plusieurs témoins matériels. Le miracle fut toujours localisé du côté gauche de l'église abbatiale et finalement dans la chapelle de la Trinité, dite aussi « chapelle du Lépreux ». Les pierres râpées de la verrière par où entra le Christ, mêlées à une boisson, guérissaient des fièvres, tout comme l'eau du puits de la crypte. L'intérêt de ce puits, abrité par l'augmentum d'Hilduin et qui ne fut comblé qu'en 1683, est mis en évidence.
La peau couverte de pustules ôtée par le Christ du visage du lépreux (la « rafle du mesel ») était conservée dans un reliquaire du Trésor. On voyait sa trace à l'endroit où Jésus l'avait jetée contre la muraille ; l'habitude de gratter la pierre à cet emplacement fit naître une cavité ronde, dite « trou du lépreux », assez grande pour qu'on puisse y placer la tête. Près de là, scellée contre la paroi, était une dalle de marbre blanc du milieu du VIIe siècle, qu'on appelait le «tombeau de saint Ladre ».
À propos de deux petits monuments autrefois conservés dans la chapelle du Lépreux : la « représentation du Sépulcre » et la « colonne de la hauteur du Christ », l'auteur évoque la croyance en la vertu préservatrice de certaines longueurs. Enfin, dans cette même chapelle, la tombe-plate de Sédile de Sainte-Croix, morte en 1380, aurait permis de soustraire pendant deux ans à la fureur révolutionnaire les ossements que contenaient les châsses des trois martyrs.
La puissance de la fiction à la recherche de la joie spinozienne
Authors: Rieusset-Lemarié Isabelle 
Published: November 2014

Cet article explore la puissance de la fiction (créatrice d’un effet de monde) hors des sentiers battus de la narration et de la figuration, en analysant le pouvoir d’hallucination de l’image à la lumière conjuguée de la sémiotique peircienne et de Spinoza mais également des trompe-l’œil de Filippino Lippi. Au lieu de réduire l’effet de monde de la fiction et le principe de plaisir à un « paradis artificiel » opposé à une réalité prétendument immuable et assombrie par la souffrance et la mortalité, il s’agit d’envisager la « promesse de bonheur » de la fiction dans la perspective de la joie spinozienne où l’éternité, disjointe de l’immortalité, peut s’expérimenter comme jeu des intensités grâce à l’augmentation des facultés de perception et d’action.
La psychanalyse est-elle un féminisme manqué ?
Authors: Laufer Laurie 
Published: November 2014

Il s’agit de puiser dans les gender studies les critiques faites à la psychanalyse pour mettre en mouvement la psychanalyse elle-même, qui ne peut s’exclure de l’histoire dans laquelle elle s’inscrit. Gayle Rubin écrit que « la psychanalyse est un féminisme manqué » et « une théorie du genre ». Une approche épistémologique de la psychanalyse a pu montrer que là où elle a été le plus souvent dogmatique et le moins plastique (notamment dans certaines positions visant les femmes et les homosexualités), on a pu assister à l’émergence d’une pensée inventive et vivante en dehors de son domaine et le plus souvent très critique à son endroit. Dans cette démarche, il s’agit d’interroger dans quelle mesure la pratique analytique peut se trouver éclairée ou infléchie par d’autres discours sans y perdre sa spécificité. Pourquoi la psychanalyse est-elle si critiquée actuellement ? Est-elle si normative ? Il s’agit d’inventer, sans cesse, dans la pratique freudienne, ce qui déloge une norme de son pouvoir de normalisation et de catégorisation, il s’agit de lui donner sa puissance d’agir.
Psychologie scientifique, psychanalyse et politique des sexualités. La psychologie queer anglo-saxonne, un dépaysement épistémologique
Authors: Schnee Gabrielle 
Published: November 2014

Dans l’après-mariage pour tous, la problématisation de l’hétéronormativité de la psychanalyse est un enjeu majeur pour une clinique contemporaine. Or, dans le contexte anglo-saxon, après l’expérience de Hooker et la naissance de la psychologie gay et lesbienne, le thème des « méthodologies queer » a produit des effets surprenants dans une discipline pourtant réputée austère et normative, la psychologie scientifique. Les méthodologies queer pourraient permettre de penser l’historicité, la performativité et certaines étrangetés du régime épistémologique de la psychanalyse.
Retour au centre ? L'évolution sociale du centre-ville de São Paulo (2000-2010)
Authors: Cymbalista Renato , Souchaud Sylvain , Rolnik Xavier Iara 
Published: November 2014

Après avoir connu une phase prolongée de déclin entre les années 1960 et les années 2000, le centre de São Paulo renoue avec la croissance démographique et attire à nouveau l’attention des pouvoirs publics et des milieux économiques : des populations aux profils variés s’y installent tandis que se déploient des activités économiques, que les investissements immobiliers reprennent et que se multiplient les projets d’aménagements. L’analyse des mouvements de population, de la composition des ménages, de la distribution de la richesse et de la valorisation immobilière généralisée dans les quartiers centraux nous permet d’éclairer le repeuplement du centre. Il résulte pour un bonne part de l’installation de populations des couches populaires, bien souvent des immigrés internationaux. Cependant, certains secteurs de la zone centrale connaissent aussi des formes d’embourgeoisement, même si ce phénomène n’atteint pas les proportions attendues.
Évolution de la division sociale de l'espace urbain à Mexico. Approche à partir des structures démographiques et de l'accès au diplôme (1990-2010)

Published: November 2014

Cet article veut contribuer à l’analyse des différenciations socio-spatiales de la ville de Mexico, en proposant un suivi diachronique de deux dimensions de la division sociale de l’espace : une dimension démographique et une dimension socio-économique. À l’échelle de la zone métropolitaine d’une part et à celle des grands types de peuplement d’autre part, il s’agit d’interroger l’évolution des formes et des degrés de la division socio-spatiale engendrée par l’inégale répartition des groupes sociodémographiques dans la ville, ainsi que l’articulation entre les stratifications sociales et celles des parcs de logements. En portant l’analyse sur l’évolution des indicateurs censitaires au sein des différents types de peuplement entre 1990 et 2010, nous mettrons en évidence les trajectoires propres à chacun. Leur confrontation permettra d’identifier les différences de rythmes et d’intensité et ce faisant, d’apprécier comment les écarts se creusent ou au contraire se résorbent.
Torsion of Gravid Uterus due to Uterine Asymmetry associated with Placental Abruption, Intrauterine Fetal Demise, and Maternal Shock

Published: November 2014

ABSTRACTA 24-year-old gravida 3 para 2 living 1 with 28 weeks gestation presented with acute abdomen and shock. A diagnosis of concealed abruption with intrauterine death of fetus was made and case was taken for emergency cesarean section. It turned out to be 180° levorotation of gravid uterus with abruption. Detorsion of the uterus failed. A dead fetus was delivered through a vertical incision on posterior wall of uterus. Asymmetrically, enlarged uterus and excess liquor were the associated findings. Total hysterectomy was done for uncontrolled atonic postpartum hemorrhage. Postoperative period was uneventful. Although a rare obstetric condition, torsion of gravid uterus should be considered in the differential diagnosis of placental abruption particularly when concealed.How to cite this articleRathod AT.

Purpose The aim of the study was to compare effects of frequent low-efficiency and short hemodialysis (FLESHD) and frequent low-efficiency and short hemofiltration (FLESHF) in hemodialysis (HD) patients with acute brain injury (ABI). Methods We randomly divided 13 HD patients with ABI into FLESHD (n = 6) or FLESHF (n = 7) groups. Conditions for the first to third sessions were as follows. FLESHD: intravenous administration of glycerol 400 ml/session, blood flow rate (QB) 100 ml/min, dialysate flow rate 300 ml/min, and treatment duration 2 h (HD-1). FLESHF: intravenous administration of glycerol 400 ml/session, QB 150 ml/min, substitution flow rate 10 l/session, and treatment duration 4 h (HF-1). After the fourth session, we gradually changed the conditions and stopped glycerol administration (HD-2 and HF-2). Results There were no significant differences in survival rate, consciousness level, or adverse effects during hospitalization in either group. In mixed model analysis, the level of HCO3– post FLESHF was significantly (p≤0.0001) increased compared with the level post FLESHD. However, no significant differences were seen in the levels of osmolality, in blood pressure before and after either dialysis method, or in the level of HCO3– pre dialysis. The variation in the relative ratio of BUN before FLESHF was significantly higher (p≤0.05) than the relative ratio before FLESHD in the sixth session. In the FLESHD groups, serum sodium was higher and serum potassium was lower than in the FLESHF groups. Conclusions FLESHD with glycerol under these conditions may be a better therapeutic option for managing patients with ABI, although the short-term survival rate is similar.
