H3K4 Methyltransferase CfSet1 Is Required for Development and Pathogenesis in Colletotrichum fructicola
Authors: Gao Yalan , Zhang Shengpei , Li He 
Published: April 2022

Tea-oil tree (Camellia oleifera Abel.) is a unique woody edible oil species in China. Anthracnose is the common disease of Ca. oleifera, which affected the production and brought huge economic losses. Colletotrichum fructicola is the dominant pathogen causing Ca. oleifera anthracnose. The gene CfSET1 was deleted and its roles in development and pathogenicity of C. fructicola were studied. Our results show that this protein participated in the growth, conidiation, appressorium formation, and pathogenicity of this fungal pathogen. Our results help us understand the mechanisms of pathogenesis in C. fructicola and suggest CfSet1 as a potential target for the development of new fungicide.
An Empirical Study on the Friction of Reciprocating Rod Seals at Predefined Lubrication Conditions and Shear Rates
Authors: Feuchtmüller Oliver , Hörl Lothar , Bauer Frank 
Published: April 2022

A key factor influencing the friction of rod seals is a thin oil film, which is dragged into the sealing gap at outstroke and instroke. Accurate determination of oil film thickness in the sealing gap of rod seals is a challenging task since it is only in the range of a few nanometers. A novel measurement procedure to analyze the friction of common reciprocating sealing systems in direct relation to the shear rate and film thickness is introduced in this paper. Results from a first empirical study with film thicknesses in the range of a few nanometers and shear rates up to γ˙=107 s−1 were used to compare the friction of practically relevant polyurethane U-cups. The U-cups differ in their geometry and surface roughness. It is seen that even at such thin films, the measured friction of those seals can be approximated by Newtonian fluid friction (speed, film thickness, viscosity, contact area). In general, the novel measurement procedure is useful in a scientific and technical context, since it offers a new perspective on tribological mechanisms at thin film lubrication conditions.

Cucumbers (Cucumis sativus L.) originated from the South Asian subcontinent, and most of them are fragile to cold stress. In this study, we evaluated the cold tolerance of 115 cucumber accessions and screened out 10 accessions showing high resistance to cold stress. We measured and compared plant hormone contents between cold-tolerant cucumber CT90R and cold-sensitive cucumber CT57S in cold treatment. Most of the detected plant hormones showed significantly higher content in CT90R. To elucidate the role of plant hormones, we compared the leaf- and root-transcriptomes of CT90R with those of CT57S in cold stress treatment. In leaves, there were 1209 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between CT90R and CT57S, while there were 703 in roots. These DEGs were not evenly distributed across the chromosomes and there were significant enrichments at particular positions, including qLTT6.2, a known QTL controlling cucumber cold tolerance. The GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the pathway of plant hormone transductions between CT90R and CT57S in leaves. In short, genes involved in plant hormone transductions showed lower transcription levels in CT90R. In roots, the most significantly different pathway was phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. CT90R seemed to actively accumulate more monolignols by upregulating cinnamyl-alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD) genes. These results above suggest a new perspective on the regulation mechanism of cold tolerance in cucumbers.
A Língua Inglesa e a internacionalização do Ensino Superior: análise comparativa de duas instituições de países do BRICS
Authors: Rosa Tamara Angélica Brudna da , Araújo Maria Cristina de , Silva Kléber Aparecido da , Souza Vilton Soares de 
Published: April 2022

O artigo reflete sobre as representações, práticas e percepções sociais da língua inglesa como língua franca em comunidades universitárias onde a internacionalização da educação superior surge como uma das grandes preocupações das universidades e de certas políticas de organismos internacionais (OCDE, Banco Mundial, Unesco) e agências nacionais (Capes, CNPq). Para além de pressupor a interculturalidade, a integração das pesquisas e dos conhecimentos, também se caracteriza como sendo um espaço de debates e embates entre atores do próprio campo e na intercessão dos campos sociais envolvidos. Nesses campos de disputa surgem discursos que revelam as diversas faces e peculiaridades da Língua Inglesa nas comunidades universitárias. O objetivo é analisar o sentido da Língua Inglesa que emerge dos documentos e práticas de duas instituições pertencentes ao BRICS. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como bibliográfica, documental, de corte analítico, comparada e também etnográfica. O universo da pesquisa é formado por duas universidades, sendo uma comunitária do Sul do Brasil e outra comunidade euro-asiática da Rússia, que são analisadas e comparadas a partir dos seus documentos, destacadamente do Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI), das suas políticas linguísticas e, em especial ,com foco no Plano Institucional de Internacionalização e nas práticas e representações sociais inter-relacionadas com a Língua Inglesa decorrentes dele. Em ambas as comunidades universitárias, fica evidenciado o entendimento de que a Língua Inglesa é atravessada por questões da internacionalização e é o caminho para a consolidação da pesquisa, do ensino e da extensão com vistas à competitividade e ao produtivismo global mesmo em contextos glocais diferenciados. Porém, em ambas as políticas institucionais de uso e aprendizagem da Língua Inglesa justapostas com a internacionalização são recentes e obedecem a normatividades legais de seus países, mas com discrepâncias em relação aos interesses da internacionalização. Vê-se que o fortalecimento das missões dessas universidades é atravessado por questões neocoloniais. Ainda é importante destacar que apenas uma universidade já conta com o Plano Institucional de Internacionalização bem consolidado e a outra está na fase inicial de implantação do mesmo.
Effects of sputtering power on the formation of 5 nm thick ferroelectric nondoped HfO2 gate insulator for MFSFET application
Authors: Shin Joong-Won , Tanuma Masakazu , Ohmi Shun-ichiro 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
In this research, the effects of sputtering power on the ferroelectric property of 5 nm thick ferroelectric nondoped HfO2 were investigated for metal–ferroelectric–semiconductor field-effect-transistor application. The remnant polarization (2P
r) was increased to 5.9 μC cm−2, and the density of interface states (D
it) at silicon interface was effectively reduced to 1.8 × 1011 cm−2 eV−1 when the sputtering power was 50 W for 5 nm thick nondoped HfO2 formation. The largest Weibull slope (β) of 1.76 was extracted in Weibull distribution plot of the time-dependent dielectric breakdown measurements, and excellent fatigue properties until 1010 cycles were realized. The memory window of 0.56 V was realized by the pulse amplitude and width of −1/6 V and 100 ms, respectively. Furthermore, the memory characteristic was expected to be maintained ever after 10 years of retention time.
High optical coupling efficiency of polymer microlens and pillar on single mode fiber for silicon photonics
Authors: Kamiura Yoshiki , Kurisawa Taiga , Fujikawa Chiemi , Mikami Osamu 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Silicon photonics technology has attracted considerable attention these days. However, the low coupling efficiency due to the difference in spot size between silicon photonic (SiPh) chips and single-mode fibers (SMFs) remains a challenging issue. We have already proposed a unique combination of a microlens and a pillar on the facet of SMF. However, the pillar may have difficulty in keeping a single mode for a signal beam of 1. 55 μm wavelength due to air cladding. In this study, we clarified the length of the pillar that can support the single mode through simulations and experiments. By the optimum designing, the spot size as the same level as the SiPh chip was obtained. We could show that our coupling device provides high coupling efficiency with a test sample of SiPh chip, and this device also can be applied to multi-core fibers.
On Well-Connected Sets of Strings
Authors: Frankl Peter , Pach János 
Published: April 2022

Given $n$ sets $X_1,\ldots, X_n$, we call the elements of $S=X_1\times\cdots\times X_n$ strings. A nonempty set of strings $W\subseteq S$ is said to be well-connected if for every $v\in W$ and for every $i\, (1\le i\le n)$, there is another element $v'\in W$ which differs from $v$ only in its $i$th coordinate. We prove a conjecture of Yaokun Wu and Yanzhen Xiong by showing that every set of more than $\prod_{i=1}^n|X_i|-\prod_{i=1}^n(|X_i|-1)$ strings has a well-connected subset. This bound is tight.
L’homme en tant qu’animal politique
Authors: Berne Eric , Bailleau Patrick 
Published: April 2022

Dans le passé, les scientifiques laissaient la politique aux Wilsons et aux Habsbourgs ; mais aujourd’hui c’est une obligation pour chaque citoyen de s’intéresser personnellement aux événements mondiaux, sauf à ce qu’ils ne le dépassent, lui et tous ses concitoyens. Les psychiatres et les physiciens qui s’intéressent particulièrement à l’étude des réalités humaines et de la nature ne peuvent plus camper sur leur réserve. Ils doivent dire au monde ce qu’ils savent de son avenir possible et cela même au risque d’être impliqués dans des domaines qui ne sont pas de leur compétence et d’être critiqués. Il n’est plus sage dorénavant pour les scientifiques de s’abstenir d’exprimer des opinions fortes et d’exercer une influence puissante pour tenter avec énergie de changer le cours de l’Histoire. Les quelques courts paragraphes qui suivent tentent de montrer aux lecteurs comment les psychiatres peuvent les aider à réfléchir avec plus de lucidité aux événements politiques. Seuls quelques sujets particuliers ont été abordés à ce jour, mais la psychiatrie peut actuellement suffisamment en dire sur la psychologie des masses dans le cadre de situations politiques pour constituer un champ particulier dédié à la « psychiatrie politique » et, dans un futur proche, remplir un livre d’observations et de principes utiles et pertinents. Les psychiatres plus que les physiciens devraient et doivent s’intéresser aux questions politiques.
Taine et la grandeur du roman, ou Balzac à la lumière de Dickens
Authors: Tortonese Paolo 
Published: April 2022

Le premier grand article que Taine consacre à un romancier, Dickens, paraît le 1 er février 1856. Il contient déjà les éléments essentiels d’une réflexion sur le roman contemporain que Taine développera en 1857 avec l’article sur Thackeray et en 1858 avec sa longue étude sur Balzac. Le roman selon Taine est le genre qui doit viser une sorte d’impassibilité à la fois esthétique et scientifique, contre le jugement moral traditionnellement associé aux genres de la satire et de l’élégie. Le roman fait face à la grandeur de la réalité : à la fois ce qui est admirable et ce qui est mesurable.
La poétique au temps des tribunaux. Retour sur Pinard, lecteur de Madame Bovary
Authors: Naïm Jérémy 
Published: April 2022

Si d’après la doxa , il n’y a pas de poétique au xix e siècle, on trouve pourtant des textes où apparaît, entre les lignes, un discours sur le « faire » créateur. Il en est ainsi du célèbre réquisitoire d’Ernest Pinard contre Madame Bovary . Un énième retour sur Pinard servira à dégager les catégories qu’il applique au texte littéraire pour l’interpréter. On s’apercevra ainsi que, si le réquisitoire n’a rien d’un traité théorique, il révèle en revanche une discursivité commune, un prédiscours sur la littérature qui peut sans doute, mais en un sens bien différent de l’époque moderne, porter le nom de « poétique ».
Vers et prose dans les discours poéticiens du XIX e siècle
Authors: Hureaux Anton 
Published: April 2022

Cette étude entend explorer les différents statuts du vers et de la prose dans les discours poéticiens du xix e siècle en partant d’un constat simple : si les romantiques sapent, au début du siècle, le principe rhétorique au fondement du partage formel vers/prose, ce dernier conserve cependant une dimension opérante dans les réflexions poéticiennes des écrivains. Plus précisément, les tentatives d’élaboration d’une poétique formaliste oscillent entre une entreprise de remotivation des formes, qui associe le vers et la prose à certaines valeurs fixées d’avance, et une entreprise de dérégulation, qui refuse d’identifier la poésie et le prosaïsme à des mises en forme du discours. Il s’agira notamment de dégager trois moments épistémologiques dans la perception et la compréhension du vers et de la prose, et la légitimation de leur distinction : éthique, anthropologique et linguistique.
La rédemption d’André Vésale dans la fiction du XIX e siècle
Authors: Krück Marie-Pierre 
Published: April 2022

L’existence du célèbre anatomiste de la Renaissance André Vésale fut entourée d’une aura mystérieuse ; commentateurs et exégètes ont participé à ériger la légende noire d’un disséqueur immoral et vengeur, condamné à l’exil par le Roi Philippe II d’Espagne pour vivisection. Quelque peu tombée dans l’oubli par la suite, la figure du médecin bruxellois connaît un engouement tout particulier au xix e siècle, jusqu’à devenir, près de trois cents ans après sa mort, un personnage de prédilection pour plusieurs écrivains romantiques. L’objectif de cet article est d’interroger la résurgence soudaine de Vésale et, plus encore, les transformations spectaculaires de sa mise en fiction . En effet, nous remarquerons que les différentes perceptions de l’anatomiste suivent les évolutions sociales de l’époque et notamment, celle de la progressive acceptation publique de la pratique autoptique.
« Le hasard contre la sagesse ». Métaphysique et historiographie du hasard chez Michelet
Authors: Aramini Aurélien 
Published: April 2022

S’il n’existe pas à proprement parler d’épistémologie du hasard chez Michelet, une compréhension globale de la croyance au hasard s’esquisse cependant dans son œuvre. L’auteur de l’ Histoire de France conçoit cette croyance comme l’expression, sur le plan des mentalités, du système de la Grâce structurant l’Ancien Régime et culminant au xvii e siècle, le « grand siècle du Jeu », où l’arbitraire règne sur la terre comme au ciel. Pour remédier à cette croyance qui favorise l’inaction et la haine de la raison, Michelet montrera qu’elle s’enracine dans l’histoire universelle, au sein du messianisme juif. Fort de cette généalogie du hasard qu’il oppose à la sagesse de la tradition indo-grecque, l’historien philosophe pourra envisager une foi et une éducation nouvelles permettant de résorber la croyance au hasard tant sur le plan théologico-politique que sur le plan scientifique.
De la décrépitude comme catégorie esthétique : Baudelaire, Manet
Authors: Zanetta Julien 
Published: April 2022

En mai 1865, Charles Baudelaire écrit à son ami Édouard Manet : « Vous n’êtes que le premier dans la décrépitude de votre art ». On a lu cette phrase sibylline tantôt comme une raillerie, tantôt comme un encouragement. Cet article se propose de revenir sur l’idée de décrépitude, terme délicat dont l’interprétation a longtemps été source de controverses. On soutiendra que l’expression possède un sens qui lui est propre, et qu’il est permis d’établir ou de circonscrire le faisceau de ses significations en reprenant d’autres usages que Baudelaire en fit. Il s’agira avant tout de comprendre comment ce mot devient une catégorie qui s’intègre à un lexique que toute la critique d’art, mais aussi la poétique préalable de Baudelaire, ont préparé.

Professional competency and challenges of clinical pharmacists in India: An assessment among the Pharm.D. graduates
Authors: Jose Subin Anitha , Chandran C. Sarath , Thomas Aiswarya , Ramesh T C Swathy 
Published: April 2022

Objectives: To assess the suitability of the existing Pharm.D. programme curriculum in producing professionally competent clinical pharmacists in India.
Methods: A survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire with closed-ended questions, among the Pharm.D. graduates who were working as clinical pharmacists across various hospitals in India. The questionnaire was shared using an online platform (Google Forms) among 138 clinical pharmacists and the responses obtained were assessed and discussed.
Results: The response rate was 25.3% with the majority of participants in the age category below 25 years. 65.7% of participants had not undergone any training programmes to improve their professional skills after the completion of the Pharm.D. programme. 45.7% of the study population had the opinion that the absence of clinical preceptors with clinical knowledge in their pharmacy school was the reason for the weak outcomes of the programme. The weakness of the curriculum was well explained by the participants by the absence of clinical training and specific objectives of the curriculum. The professional difficulties faced by the clinical pharmacists include lack of confidence to interact with other health care professionals (41.9%), poor professional management (32.3%) and difficulty in identifying the appropriate drug and dosage forms (19.4%). 24.2% had the opinion that they may avoid pursuing the Pharm.D. programme in India if they were starting all over again.
Conclusion: The pharmacy schools should not conduct programmes only to make monetary benefits, but the prescribed quality standards shall be met completely without compromise. The assignment of setting up clinical pharmacy expertise in the nation may remain another unfulfilled dream, if screening, tuning in, and updating is not carried out at whatever point essential.
Financial Resource Mobilisation Strategies And Financial Sustainability: Empirical Evidence From Private Universities In Uganda
Authors: Kobugabe Christine , Rwakihembo John 
Published: April 2022

Purpose: The study set out to examine the association between financial resource mobilisation strategies and the financial sustainability of private universities in Uganda.
Methodology: The study was anchored on a positivist paradigm, adopting cross-sectional and correlational designs. Thirty-two private universities (determined using Yamane’s formula) were purposively selected from a population of 39 private universities licensed by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE). Data was collected using a structured self-administered questionnaire from the Vice-Chancellor, Registrar finance/bursar, and Academic Registrar, who formed the unit of inquiry per private university. Pearson correlation and standard regression were used as the primary data analysis techniques.
Findings: The study established that financial resource mobilisation strategies are positively associated with financial sustainability, predicting 32% of the variation in the financial sustainability of private universities in Uganda.
Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The findings highlight the critical prerequisite for private universities to triangulate their resource mobilisation methods by utilising internal and external finance sources to survive financial difficulties. Findings have affirmed the assumptions of the modern portfolio theory, suggesting that private universities should ensure an optimal portfolio of financing strategies that will minimise the risk of financial distress while increasing returns, rather than only focusing on internal sources, especially tuition fees.
