Authors: Markovik Marijana , Jordanova Peshevska Dimitrinka 
Published: October 2015

BACKGROUND:Â National prevalence study of elderly abuse in Macedonia intended to explore prevalence and risk factors of elder abuse and neglect. Â This paper is focused on influence of the gender as individual risk factor, according to ecological model, on elderly abuse and neglect.METHODS: Culturally validated questionnaire and Geriatric Depression scale was used for data collection. Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) test, was used for sample selection. Cutting score was 20. The research was conducted through face-to-face interviews on the sample of 960 respondents aged 65 and over.RESULTS:Â Evidenced were 32% abused and neglected from representative sample, living in private households, 19% of abused was female. In Macedonian study women are 1.6 times often victims of abuse than man. Only female respondents reported sexual abuse.CONCLUSION: Being female is risk factor for being exposed on any type of abuse and neglect, excluding financial abuse.
Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Responsiveness in Active Psoriatic Arthritis at Multiple Timepoints during the First 12 Weeks of Antitumor Necrosis Factor Therapy
Authors: Feletar Marie , Hall Stephen , Bird Paul 
Published: October 2015

Objective.To assess the responsiveness of high- and low-field extremity magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) variables at multiple timepoints in the first 12 weeks post-antitumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy initiation in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and active dactylitis.Methods.Twelve patients with active PsA and clinical evidence of dactylitis involving at least 1 digit were recruited. Patients underwent sequential high-field conventional (1.5 Tesla) and extremity low-field MRI (0.2 Tesla) of the affected hand or foot, pre- and postgadolinium at baseline (pre-TNF), 2 weeks (post-TNF), 6 weeks, and 12 weeks. A blinded observer scored all images on 2 occasions using the PsA MRI scoring system.Results.Eleven patients completed the study, but only 6 patients completed all high-field and low-field MRI assessments. MRI scores demonstrated rapid response to TNF inhibition with score reduction in tenosynovitis, synovitis, and osteitis at 2 weeks. Intraobserver reliability was good to excellent for all variables. High-field MRI demonstrated greater sensitivity to tenosynovitis, synovitis, and osteitis and greater responsiveness to change posttreatment. Treatment responses were maintained to 12 weeks.Conclusion.This study demonstrates the use of MRI in detecting early response to biologic therapy. MRI variables of tenosynovitis, synovitis, and osteitis demonstrated responsiveness posttherapy with high-field scores more responsive to change than low-field scores.
Accès régulé à l’Université et implication et motivation des étudiants : l’exemple du Maroc
Authors: Côme Thierry , Yassine Abdelilah 
Published: October 2015

Accroître l’implication et la motivation des étudiants ne peut qu’améliorer l’efficacité du système d’enseignement supérieur et participer à la réalisation de l’objectif de formation de 50 % d’une classe d’âge au niveau Licence. L’exemple marocain montre que le mode d’accès à l’université influe sur la motivation et l’implication des étudiants. Dès lors, la sélection ne doit plus permettre de choisir parmi les candidats les plus impliqués et motivés mais, sous forme d’orientation active, participer à la construction de l’implication et de la motivation chez les étudiants.
Reconnaissance automatique des mètres des vers russes : une approche statistique sur corpus
Authors: Pilshchikov Igor , Starostin Anatoli 
Published: October 2015

Le but de cet article est de discuter les fondements théoriques de l'analyse rythmico-métrique et morphologico-accentuelle automatique de textes poétiques russes ainsi que les problèmes que pose ce type d'analyse et les solutions proposées. L'analyse métrique des textes poétiques écrits dans une langue à accent libre (comme le russe) devrait pouvoir s'appuyer sur l'analyse morphologique, à partir de laquelle on peut procéder soit à une désambiguïsation manuelle, soit à l'application d'éléments de l'analyse syntaxique avec désambiguïsation automatique, soit au développement d'une approche probabiliste. La dernière partie de cet article décrit une approche statistique sur corpus pour la description des mètres classiques (« explicites ») et non-classiques (« implicites ») russes. Mots-clés : métrique russe, reconnaissance automatique des mètres, approche probabiliste, approche statistique, approche basée sur corpus
Ponge/Braque : perspectives arrière-textuelles
Authors: Trouvé Alain 
Published: October 2015

Les nombreux écrits de Ponge consacrés au peintre Braque renouvellent la critique d'art traditionnelle : ils constituent ce qu'on peut appeler, avec un courant de la théorie actuelle, un arrière-texte de la création picturale. Focalisés sur le geste créateur plus que sur le tableau lui-même qu'ils invitent à regarder d'un œil nouveau, ces écrits montrent dans le travail du peintre l'œuvre croisée du corps, de la culture et des circonstances. Si l'écriture pongienne joue poétiquement de la confusion entre langage et métalangage, favorisant l'identification du poète et du peintre dans une communauté choisie d'artistes, l'arrière-texte permet de saisir les inflexions historiquement datées d'un discours affirmant son détachement progressif des affaires temporelles. Regardant aussi en aval, l'arrière-texte permet de comprendre les enjeux philosophiques liés à l'interprétation de l'œuvre de Francis Ponge.
7. L’échec en licence pour cause d’excès de travail... salarié

Published: October 2015

Pour lutter contre l’échec dans l’enseignement supérieur, faut-il décourager ou encourager le travail salarié des étudiants ? Qu’est-ce qu’un emploi de qualité pour un étudiant ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous avons expérimenté une plateforme de mise à disposition d’offres d’emploi à destination des étudiants de licence de l’Université du Maine, pendant deux années universitaires, de septembre 2010 à juin 2012. Plus de 2 000 offres d’emploi ont été collectées auprès des entreprises locales, très variées à la fois selon le niveau de rémunération (le plus souvent proche du SMIC), la durée du contrat et le secteur d’activité. Le principe de l’expérimentation a donc été d’élargir l’éventail des possibilités d’emploi offertes aux étudiants du groupe test, en leur permettant ainsi une meilleure conciliation entre les contraintes de la vie universitaire et celle d’un travail salarié. Nous montrons que l’expérimentation a effectivement accru les chances d’accès des étudiants à un emploi salarié. Pour autant, nous montrons que ce supplément d’activité salariée n’a pas eu d’effet négatif sur les résultats des étudiants à l’université. Il est donc possible d’améliorer la qualité des emplois exercés par les étudiants pour atténuer les effets négatifs d’un travail salarié sur la réussite à l’université.

Abstract
In T cells, the Tec kinases IL-2–inducible T cell kinase (ITK) and resting lymphocyte kinase (RLK) are activated by TCR stimulation and are required for optimal downstream signaling. Studies of CD4+ T cells from Itk−/− and Itk−/−Rlk−/− mice have indicated differential roles of ITK and RLK in Th1, Th2, and Th17 differentiation and cytokine production. However, these findings are confounded by the complex T cell developmental defects in these mice. In this study, we examine the consequences of ITK and RLK inhibition using a highly selective and potent small molecule covalent inhibitor PRN694. In vitro Th polarization experiments indicate that PRN694 is a potent inhibitor of Th1 and Th17 differentiation and cytokine production. Using a T cell adoptive transfer model of colitis, we find that in vivo administration of PRN694 markedly reduces disease progression, T cell infiltration into the intestinal lamina propria, and IFN-γ production by colitogenic CD4+ T cells. Consistent with these findings, Th1 and Th17 cells differentiated in the presence of PRN694 show reduced P-selectin binding and impaired migration to CXCL11 and CCL20, respectively. Taken together, these data indicate that ITK plus RLK inhibition may have therapeutic potential in Th1-mediated inflammatory diseases.

<p> Em um boletim técnico idealizado pela Organização das Nações Unidas para Alimentação e Agricultura foi ressaltada a importância de estudos em Moçambique para auxiliar as tomadas de decisões técnicas que visem à melhoria dos rendimentos nas serrarias do país. Em virtude das espécies utilizadas, bem como do baixo nível tecnológico do setor, desenvolveu-se este trabalho com o objetivo de avaliar o rendimento em madeira serrada de duas espécies tropicais, em uma serraria localizada na Província de Manica, cidade de Chimoio na região central de Moçambique. Para tanto, foram utilizadas árvores de <em>Combretum imberbe </em>(mondzo) e <em>Pterocarpus angolensis </em>(umbila), sendo selecionadas 12 toras para cada espécie. As toras de cada espécie foram classificadas em três classes diamétricas (quatro toras em cada classe). O desdobro das toras foi efetuado com serra fita, em modelo de desdobro tangencial sucessivo. O rendimento em madeira serrada, para as duas espécies avaliadas, aumentou em função da classe diamétrica, tendo diferenças estatísticas no rendimento em madeira serrada entre as duas espécies nas três classes diamétricas. <em>C. imberbe </em>apresentou maior rendimento em comparação a <em>P. angolensis</em>, sendo que os resultados considerados satisfatórios para o desdobro destas duas espécies de madeira nativas de Moçambique.</p>
Dialogical Grammar: Varieties of Dialogue in Wittgenstein’s Methodology
Authors: Lemberger Dorit 
Published: October 2015

The dialogical character of Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations has received scant attention in the literature, given the work’s status in his total oeuvre, and is dismissed as a marginal as compared to the other differences between the Tractatus and the Investigations. The main lines of interpretation that have been proposed see dialogue as a rhetorical technique intended to present erroneous positions and then refute them, as an exemplification of what can be expressed in language (McGinn 1997; Rhees 1998), or as a reflection of Wittgenstein’s informal teaching method (Malcolm 2001; Savickey et al. 1990). The present article adopts the perspective that Wittgenstein’s use of dialogue makes it possible to track the various modes of language-acts, consonant with his directions to examine the daily use of language (Wittgenstein 2009, §116 and esp. §132), “when language is, as it were, idling.” In his later inquiries, Wittgenstein frequently considers the nature of mental states, accompanied by an attempt to characterize the differences between them while at the same time dealing with the cases in which it is difficult to distinguish them. In this process he made a variety of uses of dialogue, each of which embodies a different aspect of language action. Subsequently I will demonstrate that these different uses are not haphazard. A scrutiny of the nature of the dialogue can help us understand the nature of the activity carried out of the state of consciousness. Finally, I propose a distinction among three main types of dialogue: technical, conversational, and reflexive.
He Will Rock You:
Authors: Lockhart Jessica J. 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This article draws on medieval accounts of athletic sport and its literary depictions to examine a tradition of Havelok the Dane's athletic prowess that runs across the Lai d'Haveloc, the Middle English Havelok, and numerous chronicles. Robert Mannyng describes a physical remnant of this athletic tradition: a stone lying in Lincoln Castle said to have been thrown by Havelok. By reading Havelok's stone not merely as a relic of a past king but as marking a playspace—the imagined site of a former game—we may understand the stone as a point of intersection between the pleasurable activities of contemporary sport and historicist imagining. In the romances, Havelok's athletic wonders highlight the social effects of wonder as sport. In turn, Mannyng's stone creates an imaginative playspace within his Chronicle: one that exploits an affective connection between the wonders of athletic spectating and an imaginative engagement with history.
Redeeming the Dog:
Authors: Huber Emily Rebekah 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
In the Middle English romance Sir Gowther, Gowther's redemption is contingent upon the reform of his animality as well as of his humanity. This article discusses Gowther's similarity to three different cultural representations of dogs in medieval culture: the folk type of the demonic hellhound, the secular and revered hunting hound of the nobility, and the figure of the holy greyhound. Gowther's canine self is imagined by way of his muteness as well as his appetites; these functions are instrumental in the reform of his relationships to both humans and animals in the romance.
Turned to Fables:
Authors: Lavinsky David 
Published: October 2015

Abstract
This essay takes as its context the discourse of sacerdotal authority and deviance explicitly dramatized by the Pardoner's claims for the efficacy of his speech. It considers this topic in relation to medieval discussions of officium, and how the same category in Wycliffite thought initially invites us to dismiss the Pardoner as a false preacher. Yet there is still a sense in which he preaches truly; key here, rather than orthodox concepts of officium, are his texts: fables and exempla. Tracking how these were implicated in contemporary crises of language, form, and truthful speech, the essay goes on to argue that the Pardoner's tale of avarice stages a case for the efficacious work of literature.
Anders omgaan met interculturele conflicten
Authors: Vanfraechem Inge 
Published: October 2015

Alternatively handling intercultural conflicts
This article describes the European research project ALTERNATIVE, which studies the possible implementation of restorative justice approaches in intercultural conflicts. Besides theoretical research into concepts such as justice, security, conflict (transformation) and restorative justice, action-research was implemented in four diverse intercultural settings (Austria, Hungary, Serbia and Northern Ireland). In order to compare those settings, an innovative comparative research method was developed through which the various realities are ‘thickly described’ within evaluation grids. The article describes the different aspects of the research and reflects upon the question whether a more broad understanding of restorative justice, surpassing the judicial sector and aspects, is emerging.
Diversiteitsbewuste communicatie. Niet culturen, maar mensen ontmoeten elkaar
Authors: Hoffman Edwin 
Published: October 2015

Intercultural communication. Not cultures but people meet
Intercultural communication is often portrayed as communication between people with a different ethnic or national background. People may interpret differences and misunderstandings arising in communication as especially grand and problematic. Sometimes, people see the reason for a difference in opinion or the conflict to be situated within the other (often national or ethnic) culture. They see themselves and others as a member of a different group, with a different culture and thus claim the differences to be related to the culture and not the individual person (culturalising or culturistic approach). This approach entails certain risks when it is seen as a condition to be able to speak to others and when handled as the sole frame of reference to interpret people’s meaning-making. An alternative approach can be found in a systemic and communication-theory approach, linking it to intersectionality, pluralism, diversity competence and the TOPOI model, as this article explains.
Conflictbeleving en herstelrecht in Brussel
Authors: Huysmans Minne , Claes Erik 
Published: October 2015

Experiencing conflict and restorative justice in Brussels
This article stems from a practice-oriented research on restorative justice and perceptions of conflict in a poor neighbourhood in Brussels: the Anneessens district. The first part of the article focuses on the conceptual shift from a crime-oriented towards a conflict-oriented restorative justice, including the search for a user-friendly working definition of ‘conflict’. The classical restorative justice story receives a facelift in order to address metropolitan challenges. The second part analyses 41 walking interviews of residents, focusing on conflict themes and zones. The third part cautiously checks the working definition in the frame of the analysed data. A provisional conclusion entails that the notion of crime and its related meanings should not be discarded too quickly.

Temaet folkemord i forfatterskapet til Tore Linné Eriksen
Authors: Rønning Balsvik Randi 
Published: October 2015

This article points to the responsibility historians have in the formation of what we may call the collective memory of persons, groups and states. What are the images of “the other” conveyed in textbooks and media? In Norway, the historian Tore Linné Eriksen has – more than any other scholar – used his research, writings and enormous capacity for work to educate students, youth and the public in general and to create a more just image of “the other”. His driving force has been an extraordinary ability to be at the forefront in spotting international research, as well as his sense of justice and respect for the non-western world. His last extensive work on global history (Globalhistorie 1750–1900) clearly demonstrates these capabilities.
In the early 1980s, long before the wave of genocide studies after the Rwanda catastrophe of 1994, Eriksen’s two works on Namibia –Namibia: Kolonialisme, apartheid og frigjøringskamp i det sørlige Afrika (1982) and The Political Economy of Namibia: An Annotated Critical Bibliography (1985) – used the concept of genocide to describe German conduct in Namibia in the early 20th century. In 2007, Eriksen published his book about what he calls the first genocide of the 20th century, Det første folkemordet i det tjuende århundret. Namibia 1903–1908. German and African history is woven into the question of whether the dangerous relations that developed between German settlers and Africans can be labelled genocide. The present article attempts to present Eriksen’s arguments. An introductory section deals with the trends in the international research literature and establishes a link between colonialism and genocide. In 2008, Eriksen’s article on the extinction of the Herero people in Namibia – “Utslettelse av Hererofolket i Namibia 1903– 1908” – was published in Bernt Hagtvets collection of articles, Folkemordenes svarte bok. The following year, Tore Linné Eriksen’s article in the journal Historisk Tidsskrift (2009) on genocide in a comparative colonial perspective won the prize for best article of the year.
In Eriksen’s global history, referred to above, it is stated and shown that, to a certain extent, there is disagreement among historians as to what can be called genocide. What about the extinction of indigenous peoples due to diseases in the wake of European immigration? In his use of the term, Eriksen is more cautious than the authors of some of the works he refers to. The present article argues for more attention to be paid to the concept of “intent” when it comes to interpreting the tragic outcomes of conflict.
Exploring the effect of current sheet thickness on the high‐frequency Fourier spectrum breakpoint of the solar wind
Authors: Borovsky Joseph E. , Podesta John J. 
Published: October 2015

AbstractThe magnetic power spectrum of the solar wind at 1 AU exhibits a breakpoint at a frequency of about 0.1–1 Hz, with the spectrum being steeper above the breakpoint than below the breakpoint. Because magnetic discontinuities contain much of the Fourier power in the solar wind, it is suspected that current sheet thicknesses (i.e., discontinuity thicknesses) may play a role in determining the frequency of this breakpoint. Using time series measurements of the solar wind magnetic field from the Wind spacecraft, the effect of current sheet thicknesses on the breakpoint is investigated by time stretching the solar wind time series at the locations of current sheets, effectively thickening the current sheets in the time series. This localized time stretching significantly affects the magnetic power spectral density of the solar wind in the vicinity of the high‐frequency breakpoint: a substantial fraction of the Fourier power at the breakpoint frequency is contained in current sheets that occupy a small fraction of the spatial volume of the solar wind. It is concluded that current sheet thickness appears to play a role in determining the frequency fB of the high‐frequency breakpoint of the magnetic power spectrum of the solar wind. This analysis of solar wind data is aided by comparisons with power spectra generated from artificial time series.
