description: The construction of a generic parametrization to describe the spacetime geometry around astrophysical black hole candidates is an important step to test the Kerr black hole hypothesis. In the last few years, the Johannsen-Psaltis metric has been the most common framework to study possible deviations from the Kerr solution with present and near future observations. Recently, Cardoso, Pani and Rico have proposed a more general parametrization. The aim of the present paper is to study this new metric in a specific context, namely the thermal spectrum of geometrically thin and optically thick accretion disks. The most relevant finding is that the spacetime geometry around objects that look like very fast-rotating Kerr black holes may still have large deviations from the Kerr solution. This was not the case with the Johannsen-Psaltis metric, which means the latter was missing an important class of non-Kerr spacetimes.

description: We explore the role of the background plasma ion motion in self-modulated plasma wakefield accelerators. We employ J. Dawson's plasma sheet model to derive expressions for the transverse plasma electric field and ponderomotive force in the narrow bunch limit. We use these results to determine the on-set of the ion dynamics, and demonstrate that the ion motion could occur in self-modulated plasma wakefield accelerators. Simulations show the motion of the plasma ions can lead to the early suppression of the self-modulation instability and of the accelerating fields. The background plasma ion motion can nevertheless be fully mitigated by using plasmas with heavier plasmas.

description: The purpose of this dissertation is to better understand how individual employees’ values and personality traits influence their attitudes toward market orientation; how such attitudes impact their market-oriented behaviors; and how in turn, these behaviors lead to their superior individual performance. To investigate these relationships, an empirical study was conducted in the French speaking part of Switzerland and data were collected from a sample of service firms’ employees from diverse departments and hierarchical levels. To a large extent, the results support the hypothesis of a hierarchical chain moving from value / personality to attitude to behavior to individual performance in relation to market orientation. Le sujet de cette thèse de doctorat est de mieux comprendre comment les valeurs et les traits de personnalité des employés influencent leurs attitudes envers l’orientation vers le marché ; comment ces attitudes ont un effet sur les comportements orientés vers le marché de ces employés et enfin, comment ces comportements conduisent à une meilleure performance individuelle. Afin d’étudier ces relations, une enquête a été conduite en Suisse romande et des données ont été collectées auprès d’un échantillon d’employés d’entreprises de service de différents départements et niveaux hiérarchiques. Les résultats sont concordants avec l’hypothèse d’une chaîne causale allant des valeurs / traits de personnalité aux attitudes, aux comportements et finalement à la performance individuelle dans le contexte de l’orientation vers le marché.

description: Abstract
Juvenile delinquency can include a variety of behaviors, such as vandalism, theft, substance abuse, gang involvement, absenteeism, or violent behavior. Many factors contribute to juvenile delinquency, including socioeconomic status, family dynamics, peer influence, educational problems, and exposure to violence or crime in the community. Personal factors such as psychological, emotional, or behavioral problems may also play a role. This research focuses on the main problem, namely the efforts of Islamic religious education teachers to prevent associations that ostracize teenagers at SMAN 2 Garut Regency. This research aims to achieve two objectives: (1) explore teachers' efforts in Islamic religious education to prevent students from committing crimes at school, and (2) identify factors that help or hinder teachers' efforts to remediate student delinquency. The implications of this research indicate that the efforts of Islamic religious education teachers at SMAN 2 Garut Regency have not been effective in dealing with student delinquency. Therefore, it is recommended that these teachers strengthen their guidance work in order to fulfill their responsibilities in moral training for students. Based on the information provided, it appears that this research aims to determine the role of Islamic Religious Education teachers in dealing with student delinquency and implementing the corrective strategies needed to overcome this problem effectively.

description: The impact of enzymatic hydrolysis at 8ᵒC of liquid whey protein concentrate (WPC35) derived from acid casein manufacture using Prolyve 1000®, a microbial protease preparation, under free-fall pH conditions on the physicochemical and the thermal stability properties of the resultant hydrolysates was investigated. The hydrolysis process was optimised using a design of experiments (DOE) approach. Eleven hydrolysates (H1–H11) were generated using 3 factors x 2 levels, i.e., enzyme:substrate (E:S) 0.25–1.00% (v/w), starting pH 7.5–9.0 and incubation time 10–96 h. Hydrolysate degree of hydrolysis (DH) values ranged from 0.75 (H10) to 4.74% (H6) which increased to 1.91 (H10) and 7.24% (H6) following subsequent thermal processing (mimicking the evaporation process) at 54ᵒC x 15 min and 64ᵒC x 10 min. The apparent viscosity (ηapp) of all hydrolysates was measured to assess their heat stability during heating at 85ᵒC for up to 20 min, this was shown to be E:S and pH-dependent. While the unhydrolysed samples formed a gel on heating at ~74-80ᵒC. Following DOE analysis, it was found that E:S had a significant impact on the DH, the extent of intact protein degradation (�g) and the thermal stability. The �g following processing at 64ᵒC showed a strong correlation (R2 = 0.924; p < 0.001) with ηapp, and thus this parameter may be used to predict the thermal stability of the hydrolysate samples. The optimised hydrolysis conditions for the generation of heat stable WPC35 hydrolysates during 8◦C incubation were achieved using an E:S = 0.625% at a starting pH = 8.65. Performance of protein hydrolysis reactions at low temperature has potential to enhance process sustainability.

description: In this deliverable, we focus on the financial stakeholders’ view with respect to funding payment for performance (P4P) programmes in the EU. In doing so, we distinguish between public and private investors. This document mainly provides the perspective of the private investor, as it is ultimately expected that public finance (subsidies, guarantees, etc.) will have to leverage private funding into the energy transition. Hence the title of this document: ‘Variants of P4P schemes to engage third-party investors in energy efficiency.’ Rather than plainly reporting the financial stakeholders’ view, we have opted to formulate the insights obtained into recommendations for the future deployment of P4P pilots in the EU promoting energy efficiency as a resource.

description: The spaceborne lidar Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat)-2 provides the ATL13 data product for inland water bodies. However, its quality characteristics are not yet fully understood. This study presents a robust method for extracting lake water level data and makes a comprehensive evaluation on the determined water levels. The selected study areas are Lake Huron and Lake Superior, which are part of the Great Lakes. The extracted water levels from ATL13 over a period of four years are validated by using the field measurements at the closest NOAA hydrological stations. The evaluation is carried out in terms of data specifications, wind speed, frozen precipitation, distance of photon segments to hydrological stations, data acquisition time, and beam intensity. The determined water levels are then further used for seasonal monitoring and modeling of water surface. This work demonstrates the critical need for outlier removal and the capability of the ATL13 data. A total bias of 9 - 10 cm is found in the ATL13 product. It is found that frozen precipitation can lead to an overestimation (~ 5 cm) of the water level. However, the uncertainty of water level determination is not found to be significantly related to the laser beam intensity and data acquisition time. We expect that these findings will be valuable for users employing the ATL13 inland water body product and for developers producing future versions of the ATL13 product.

description: La ville de Madrid compte de nombreuses places publiques. Lieux de vie par excellence, elles ont été témoin d’événements historiques, politiques ou sociaux, et continuent aujourd’hui de faire partie du quotidien de la population. Chacune d’elles remplit diverses fonctions : place historique, place de rassemblement, ou place en tant que simple espace de convivialité, elles sont souvent un lieu symbolique de la centralité de la ville et font partie de la mémoire collective des habitants de la communauté. Ce travail s’intéresse aux caractéristiques urbanistiques des places, ainsi qu’aux usagers et à la façon dont ces derniers utilisent ces espaces urbains au quotidien, afin de déterminer quelle place occupent ces espaces au sein de la ville, mais aussi dans l’imaginaire de la population. Dans un premier temps, l’étude se porte sur deux des plus grands espaces symboliques de Madrid, à savoir la Plaza Mayor et la Puerta del Sol, deux places à l’échelle de la ville. Dans un deuxième temps, une enquête par questionnaires nous a permis de délimiter les principaux usages et fonctions de trois places situées à l’échelle du quartier, à savoir la Plaza de la Paja, la Plaza del Dos de Mayo et la Plaza Santa Ana ; deux échelles qui déterminent des usages et des fonctions différentes. Alors que les deux premières sont des espaces symboliques et des relais de l’image internationale de la ville, les trois autres répondent, elles, à un usage quotidien pour des habitants qui cherchent sur les places publiques des endroits tranquilles pour se reposer et se détendre, à l’écart des désagréments urbains. Si aujourd’hui la place publique a perdu sa fonction première de place de marché, elle n’en reste pas moins un espace de rencontre, avec une ambiance qui lui est propre. Ambiance d’autant plus festive qu’à Madrid tout est prétexte à faire la fête, et à se rendre dans les rues et sur les places. Celles-ci deviennent alors le cadre et le support d’événements aussi bien collectifs qu’individuels.

description: Ce travail de doctorat analyse les dynamiques qui se développent lorsque des personnes discutent en groupe et doivent prendre position sur des enjeux socio-politiques. Notre modèle prédit que les dynamiques positionnelles, relatives aux opinions exprimées, et les dynamiques relationnelles, relatives aux relations affectives et à l’organisation du groupe, sont constamment en interaction et s’imbriquent différemment selon le moment de vie du groupe. Les hypothèses issues de notre modèle ont été testées au moyen de cinq études conduites sur la base d’un paradigme expérimental en plusieurs phases. Les données relatives aux variables dépendantes (attraction interpersonnelle, identification au groupe, perception de cohésion du groupe, choix d’un représentant du groupe, évolution des positions suite aux interactions) ont été récoltées par questionnaire. Les résultats de ces études appuient l’importance d’analyser conjointement les dynamiques relationnelles et positionnelles, dans une perspective temporelle.

description: Книга «Детская ошибка Эйнштейна» написана доктором технических наук. 
За час чтения этой книги вы поймете то, чего Эйнштейн не смог понять за всю свою жизнь. Наблюдаемые показания движущихся к наблюдателю часов, как полагал Эйнштейн, идут медленнее неподвижных часов. На самом деле движущиеся к наблюдателю часы по их наблюдаемым показаниям ускоряют свой ход.
В книге рассказывается об уникальном эксперименте, который опровергает положение СТО (специальной теории относительности) о замедлении наблюдаемого хода часов в частном случае их движения к наблюдателю. Этот эксперимент провели 100 ученых и инженеров в 2022 году в г. Санкт-Петербурге с использованием высокоточного радиолокатора.
Прочитав эту книгу, вы узнаетео теории аберрации – первой альтернативной СТО теории, которая подтверждена экспериментально и имеет высокую практическую значимость. 
Книга будет интересна широкому кругу читателей, начиная от учеников 9–11 классов общеобразовательных учреждений и студентов вузов, до кандидатов и докторов наук и преподавателей физики.
Кроме того, книга будет интересна также академикам и членам-корреспондентам академий наук всего мира, которые, поддавшись феноменальному гипнотическому очарованию Эйнштейна, необъяснимым образом верят ошибочным выводам СТО.

description: The Bochner Classification Theorem (1929) characterizes the polynomial sequences $\p_{n}\}_{n=0}^{\infty}$, with $\text{deg}\,p_{n}=n$ that simultaneously form a complete set of eigenstates for a second-order differential operator and are orthogonal with respect to a positive Borel measure having finite moments of all orders. Indeed, up to a complex linear change of variable, only the classical Hermite, Laguerre, and Jacobi polynomials satisfy these conditions. In 2009, Gómez-Ullate, Kamran, and Milson found that for sequences $\{p_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}$, $\text{deg}\,p_{n}=n$ (without the constant polynomial), the only such sequences are the exceptional $X_{1}$-Laguerre and $X_{1}$-Jacobi polynomials. Subsequently, other exceptional orthogonal polynomials $\{p_{n}\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}\diagdown A}$ were discovered and studied (here $A$ is a finite subset of the non-negative integers $\mathbb{N}_{0}$ and $\text{deg}\,p_{n}=n$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}\diagdown A$). We call such a sequence an exceptional $X_{\left\vert A\right\vert}$ sequence. Remarkably, all exceptional sequences found, to date, form a complete orthogonal set in their natural Hilbert space setting. Among the exceptional sets already known are the Type I and Type II $X_{m}$-Laguerre polynomials, each omitting $m$ polynomials. We briefly discuss these polynomials and construct self-adjoint operators generated by their corresponding second-order differential expressions in appropriate Hilbert spaces. In addition, we present a new Type III family of $X_{m}$-Laguerre polynomials along with a detailed disquisition of its properties. We include several representations of these polynomials, orthogonality, norms, completeness, the location of their local extrema and roots, root asymptotics, as well as the spectral study of the second-order Type III exceptional $X_{m}$-Laguerre differential expression.

description: Face à l’aridité marquée de son climat, la politique nationale agricole du Niger chercha, dès 1960, de nouvelles stratégies agricoles à même d’améliorer la productivité partout où les conditions paraissent favorables. Cela permet d’une part d’assurer la sécurité alimentaire du pays et d’autre part, de créer des sources de création de revenus. La région de Gaya (Sud Niger), abrite de nombreuses ressources en eau exploitables à des fins agricoles. Malgré le fait que les principales cultures de la région restent les cultures sous pluie (céréales), depuis quelques années déjà et sous l’impulsion d’un projet, de nouvelles techniques mécanisées (captage de l’eau par motopompe) ont vu le jour, permettant aux exploitants ruraux de cultiver pendant la saison sèche. Un nouveau mode de valorisation de l’espace apparaît basé lui sur des principes individualistes et privé d’exploitation de la terre. Ces techniques agricoles ne sont malheureusement accessibles que pour une certaine catégorie d’acteurs aux droits fonciers et sociaux les plus stables. Malgré le fait que cette région soit propice à l’irrigation et à la commercialisation de la production (zone frontalière), cette pratique demande en effet, une capacité d’investissement importante proportionnellement au salaire moyen en zone rurale ainsi qu’une garantie de propriété foncière souvent inexistante dans un système encore régit par la coutume. La région assiste aujourd’hui à une transformation ayant pour conséquence majeure d’augmenter la pression sur la disponibilité et l’accessibilité des ressources naturelles et d’être de ce fait source de conflits.

description: Self-propelled particles include both self-phoretic synthetic colloids and various micro-organisms. By continually consuming energy, they bypass the laws of equilibrium thermodynamics. These laws enforce the Boltzmann distribution in thermal equilibrium: the steady state is then independent of kinetic parameters. In contrast, self-propelled particles tend to accumulate where they move more slowly. They may also slow down at high density, for either biochemical or steric reasons. This creates positive feedback which can lead to motility-induced phase separation (MIPS) between dense and dilute fluid phases. At leading order in gradients, a mapping relates variable-speed, self-propelled particles to passive particles with attractions. This deep link to equilibrium phase separation is confirmed by simulations, but generally breaks down at higher order in gradients: new effects, with no equilibrium counterpart, then emerge. We give a selective overview of the fast-developing field of MIPS, focusing on theory and simulation but including a brief speculative survey of its experimental implications.

description: En 2006, la Ville de Lausanne décide d’introduire une politique de marketing urbain basée sur quatre piliers : le sport et l’Olympisme, la culture, la formation, et le développement durable. L’objet de ce travail est de s’interroger sur la validité du développement durable comme argument de promotion. Pour y répondre, il a fallu construire à partir de la littérature, une démarche originale permettant d’évaluer la validité d’un argument de promotion. Cette démarche, combinant des éléments de réflexion sur l’offre et sur la demande, insiste sur le fait que l’argument de promotion doit être présent dans l’offre de la ville et qu’il doit exister une vision commune parmi les autorités. De plus, il doit être perçu comme un constituant essentiel de l’offre par la population et sa promotion doit être conforme à sa définition théorique. Il doit par ailleurs répondre à un potentiel de demande ; l’image de l’argument, telle qu’elle est perçue par le public-cible, doit correspondre à l’image émise. Finalement, il doit exister des actions ou des attributs à fort potentiel de représentativité sur lesquels la promotion peut s’appuyer pour construire une image de marque forte, unique et différenciatrice. Si l’on a répondu par l’affirmative à l’ensemble de ces questions, alors l’argument est valide pour la promotion. Le développement durable, tel que pratiqué à Lausanne, est passé au filtre de cette démarche. Bien que l’échantillon des personnes interrogées ne soit pas suffisant pour se prononcer de façon définitive, de nombreuses réserves ont été identifiées. Différents scénarii terminent le travail, ainsi que des pistes futures pour la recherche.

description: Preparing future mathematics teacher educators (MTEs) with knowledge that are needed to effectively support pre-service teachers (PSTs) is very important. However, little attention was paid to MTEs’ knowledge development, which is multifaceted and complex. This study investigates successes, challenges, and tensions that four international graduate MTEs and one mathematics teacher educator (TE) experienced in developing their identity as math teacher educators. In total, 20 h of interactive interviews were analyzed by using qualitative methods. Emerging themes include how MTEs establish a sense of credibility and how they feel they are navigating multiple identities. Among the graduate MTEs, credibility was described as having the following: (a) knowledge of and experience teaching in the US education system; (b) experience in teaching using a problem-solving approach; (c) the ability to enact theory in practice. While navigating multiple identities, graduate MTEs recognize their ethnic identities are central and influence their perceptions of self as MTEs, and how they think they are perceived by others. The results highlight the importance of understanding MTEs tensions and challenges and provide “in-the-moment” support along the journey of becoming teacher educators.

description: The wavelength selective linear absorption in communication C-band is investigated in CMOS-processed PECVD silicon nitride rings. In the overcoupled region, the linear absorption loss lowers the on-resonance transmission of a ring resonator and increases its overall quality factor. Both the linear absorption and ring quality factor are maximized near 1520 nm. The direct heating by phonon absorption leads to thermal optical bistable switching in PECVD silicon nitride based microring resonators. We calibrate the linear absorption rate in the microring resonator by measuring its transmission lineshape at different laser power levels, consistent with coupled mode theory calculations.

description: I finally have dicovered the actual etymology of Koriandron: it meant "Savory leaves" not "soft leaves". While Andrakhne meant "savory, tart" not "soft, tender". Salamandra meant "poisonous lizard': Salam="poisonous" as indicated so well by Salaminthe="spider". the Fire salamander has toxic skin. New etymologies for melon/malon: mel/mal/*sml="sweet"; new etymologies for malva/malache, for morphe, mermnos/mermnes and many more. Excellent, I finally got these etymologies right after a few years of trying. Try, apply your mind, use those methods---there is much that can be done even without new archaeological discoveries.

description: Abstract
The advancement of science and technology has brought about an era where science, technology, and information are inseparable from education. This reality requires Islamic higher education institutions to effectively implement learning management practices. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a literature review method. The findings of this study reveal that the utilization of digital technology in Islamic Religious Education enhances the quality of learning and student engagement. Lecturers play a crucial role in developing the necessary skills and knowledge. Innovation in digital technology-based learning involves the discovery, development, and dissemination of digital technology usage. Digital content, curriculum design, lecturer training, and supportive infrastructure are essential in the development of digital technology. Digital technology enhances student engagement and learning effectiveness, yet the role of lecturers remains vital as facilitators and learning managers.

description: La notoriété acquise par l’homme de lettres pendant les Lumières a poussé un nombre important de personnalités et autres admirateurs à se rendre chez les auteurs afin de les voir en chair et en os. Ainsi est né la pratique de "la visite à l’écrivain". Ces rencontres hors du commun ont fait l’objet de multiples témoignages au fil des siècles. La présente étude analyse une quinzaine de textes datant de la Troisième République, corpus mêlant des écrits aux formes différentes d’expressions (interviews, récits élogieux ou irrévérencieux). Elle cherche en premier lieu à montrer que la visite forme un récit ritualisé, défini par un scénario-type et des éléments récurrents. Dans un deuxième temps, elle analyse la figure du grand auteur, construite à la fois par auto- et hétéroreprésentation. Cette partie du travail souligne la manifestation de "postures d’auteur" et définit ce qui, selon nous, caractérise les récits de visites de la Troisième République.

description: We present the results on the stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) normalisation of 68 massive ($M_\ast=10^{11}-10^{12}$$M_\odot$) Early-Type Galaxies (ETGs) at redshift of $\sim$1. This was achieved by deriving the stellar Mass-to-Light ratio (M/L) of the galaxies through axis-symmetric dynamical modelling and comparing it to the same derived via stellar population modelling through full spectrum fitting. The study also employs an Abundance Matching technique to account for the dark matter within the galaxies. The results demonstrate that massive ETGs at high redshifts on average have a Salpeter-like IMF normalisation, while providing observational evidence supporting previous predictions of low dark matter fraction in the inner regions ($\lesssim$ 1R$_{\rm e}$) of galaxies at higher redshift.

description: A new work and one of my best. Take a look if you like, these are new etymologies for koriandron and skorodon and salamandra, not the ones I published before. For me this new etymology of skorodon is actually my first etymology of skorodon from 2005. Many new etymologies for many "Pre-Greek" Ancient Greek words, many of which or even all of which probably are Pre-Greek, but if so then one or more Pre-Greek languages may have been related to PIE, but not necessarily so. That's a mystery for now. Works like these get us closer to real answers to those questions.
description: This updated 3rd version has the further evidence that I didn't have time to add two days ago, and new etymologies for Latin lens (=lentil) and Albanian lend (=acorn) and an etymology for kerambelon explaining that word as Ker="crow" and Ambelon="to strike with fear" from "to strike" (compare Latin paveo="fear" from the PIE root *paw="to strike, hit"), in turn from Amb="pointed": compare Russian kolot="pointed" as well as "to strike". And I explain Amblus as deriving from "stricken" as well, and I show parallels for that. I also added my etymology of Ancient Greek mespilon (medlar, a very sweet fruit; and mespilon also meant hawthorn a plant with long thorns). More details about Basque mandila and landila: this is work that should land me a $500,000.00 grant/donation. Make that $1,000,000.00. Or more. I finally have discovered the actual etymology of Koriandron: it meant "Savory leaves" not "soft leaves". While Andrakhne meant "savory, tart" not "soft, tender". Salamandra meant "poisonous lizard': Salam="poisonous" as indicated so well by Salaminthe="spider". the Fire salamander has toxic skin. New etymologies for melon/malon: mel/mal/*sml="sweet"; new etymologies for malva/malache, for morphe, mermnos/mermnes and many more. I finally got these etymologies right after a few years of trying. Try, apply your mind, use those methods---there is much that can be done even without new archaeological discoveries.

description: Le développement de l’activité touristique dans une localité d’un pays du sud provoque des changements importants dans la société, l’économie et la culture du lieu. Ce travail analyse les modifications intervenues dans la petite ville d’Ollantaytambo, dans la vallée sacrée des Incas, au Pérou, ces quinze dernières années. Les enjeux économiques, sociaux, environnementaux et culturels sont vus sous l’angle du développement durable et l’accent est finalement mis sur les modalités de gouvernance et la participation de la population locale dans les processus de décision. Les conclusions principales relèvent qu’une structure économique dominée par de petits propriétaires locaux ne tend pas à une gestion plus durable de l’activité. La participation, si elle est développée au niveau local, connaît des limites dues à la centralisation de la planification au niveau de l’état central qui est plus attentif aux critères macro-économiques qu’au développement local. Cette situation provoque des conflits entre la population, les municipalités, les institutions du gouvernement et les entreprises transnationales actives dans le domaine du tourisme. Le gouvernement devrait avoir un rôle plus actif pour adapter les infrastructures existantes aux nouveaux flux introduits par le tourisme et régler les conflits existants afin d’éviter les principaux problèmes identifiés. Le fonctionnement du gouvernement au Pérou, clientéliste, centralisé et corrompu, constitue l’un des principaux problèmes pour un développement plus harmonieux

description: We present cavity QED experiments with an Er:YSO crystal magnetically coupled to a 3D cylindrical sapphire loaded copper resonator. Such waveguide cavities are promising for the realization of a superconducting quantum processor. Here, we demonstrate the coherent integration of a rare-earth spin ensemble with the 3D architecture. The collective coupling strength of the Er$^{3+}$ spins to the 3D cavity is 21 MHz. The cylindrical sapphire loaded resonator allowed us to explore the anisotropic collective coupling between the rare-earth doped crystal and the cavity. This work shows the potential of spin doped solids in 3D quantum circuits for application as microwave quantum memories as well as for prospective microwave to optical interfaces.

description: While deep brain stimulation (DBS) is widely employed for managing motor symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD), its exact circuit mechanisms remain controversial. To identify the neural targets affected by therapeutic DBS in PD, we analyzed DBS-evoked whole brain activity in female hemi-parkinsonian rats using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We delivered subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS at various stimulation pulse repetition rates using optogenetics, allowing unbiased examination of cell-type specific STN feedforward neural activity. Unilateral optogenetic STN DBS elicited pulse repetition rate-dependent alterations of blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) signals in SNr (substantia nigra pars reticulata), GP (globus pallidus), and CPu (caudate putamen). Notably, this modulation effectively ameliorated pathological circling behavior in animals expressing the kinetically faster Chronos opsin, but not in animals expressing ChR2. Furthermore, mediation analysis revealed that the pulse repetition rate-dependent behavioral rescue was significantly mediated by optogenetic DBS induced activity changes in GP and CPu, but not in SNr. This suggests that the activation of GP and CPu are critically involved in the therapeutic mechanisms of STN DBS.

description: AIMS: Nuclear envelope integrity is essential for compartmentalisation of nucleus and cytoplasm. Importantly, mutations in genes encoding nuclear envelope and associated proteins are the second-highest cause of familial dilated cardiomyopathy. One such nuclear envelope protein that causes cardiomyopathy in humans and affects mouse heart development is Lem2. However, its role in heart remains poorly understood. METHODS AND RESULTS: We generated mice in which Lem2 was specifically ablated either in embryonic cardiomyocytes (Lem2 cKO) or adult cardiomyocytes (Lem2 iCKO) and carried out detailed physiological, tissue and cellular analyses. High resolution episcopic microscopy was used for 3D reconstructions and detailed morphological analyses. RNA-sequencing and immunofluorescence identified altered pathways and cellular phenotypes, and cardiomyocytes were isolated to interrogate nuclear integrity in more detail. In addition, echocardiography provided physiological assessment of Lem2 iCKO adult mice.We found that Lem2 was essential for cardiac development, and hearts from Lem2 cKO mice were morphologically and transcriptionally underdeveloped. Lem2 cKO hearts displayed high levels of DNA damage, nuclear rupture, and apoptosis. Crucially, we found that these defects were driven by muscle contraction as they were ameliorated by inhibiting myosin contraction and L-type calcium channels. Conversely, reducing Lem2 levels to ∼45% in adult cardiomyocytes did not lead to overt cardiac dysfunction up to 18 months of age. CONCLUSIONS: Our data suggest that Lem2 is critical for integrity at the nascent nuclear envelope in fetal hearts, and protects the nucleus from the mechanical forces of muscle contraction. In contrast, the adult heart is not detectably affected by partial Lem2 depletion, perhaps owing to a more established nuclear envelope and increased adaptation to mechanical stress. Taken together, these data provide insights into mechanisms underlying cardiomyopathy in patients with mutations in Lem2 and cardio-laminopathies in general.

description: Les paysages que nous percevons aujourd’hui dépendent à la fois d’éléments naturels (biologiques, géologiques et géomorphologiques) qui forment leur ossature propre, d’éléments climatiques qui vont influencer les hydrosystèmes et la végétation, et des empreintes des activités humaines telles que l’agriculture, l’urbanisation, la construction de voies de communication, etc. qui vont contribuer à complexifier ces paysages et à les transformer. Ce travail analyse comment le paysage arboricole et viticole de la région de Riddes-Saxon-Charrat a évolué depuis la fin du 19ème siècle. Dès la seconde moitié du 19ème siècle, la zone d’étude, située en rive gauche de la vallée du Rhône, va été fortement influencée par les grands travaux de correction du Rhône, et d’assainissement de la plaine lui permettant de conquérir de nouvelles terres cultivables. Le 20ème siècle est marqué par d’importantes opérations de remembrement qui vont limiter le morcellement et permettre de gagner en production. Ces remaniements vont donner au paysage un tout autre aspect, plus homogène et plus géométrique. Les systèmes économiques et sociaux sont de grands responsables du visage des paysages ruraux. Ils peuvent ainsi se transformer rapidement. Les indicateurs économiques ont été bouleversé par les mutations techniques, les nouvelles technologies, la motorisation et l’industrialisation. Ainsi, les paysages se transforment comme les sociétés qui les créent et les entretiennent. Ce travail comporte une large partie cartographique : la réalisation de cartes à différentes époques, représentant la situation des vergers et du vignoble de la région vont permettre de mettre en évidence les transformations du paysage agraire entre Riddes et Charrat et de montrer l’extension des cultures à la fois en plaine et sur le coteau. L’observation et l’analyse de ces cartes est à la base de ce travail
