L'incidence du droit commun sur le droit spécial des baux ruraux
2017
« Souvent la pratique contredit la règle, souvent le corollaire trahit le principe, souvent l'effet désobéit à la cause ; telle est la fatale condition humaine. »V. Hugo, Actes et paroles avant l'exil, 1875 Dans une chronique restée célèbre, le doyen Ripert distillait l’esprit de l’ordonnance du 17 octobre 1945 : « Loi sur le statut du fermage. On peut dans ces simples mots découvrir une intention que le législateur n’a pas autrement exprimée. Statut et non plus contrat. Le droit statutaire s’oppose au droit contractuel ». 70 ans plus tard, la pertinence de l’assertion se discute. Le droit des baux ruraux, plus vivant que jamais, ne semble pas s’être complètement « statufié » ou pétrifié. S…
Reconstrucción mamaria inmediata mediante grasa autóloga tras tumorectomía de mama
2017
Uno de los progresos más notables en cirugía plástica en los últimos años, consiste en la capacidad que hemos adquirido, tras varias décadas de ensayos frustrados, del uso de la grasa autóoga como autoinjerto. La grasa autologa, es decir de uno mismo, es el mejor material de relleno que se pueda imaginar: es fácil de extraer y no deja secuelas ya que la liposucción es una técnica atraumática, es absolutamente inocuo desde el punto de vista alergogénico, ya que forma parte de nuestro organismo, es permanente y el coste de realizar este tratamiento es muy bajo. Otro de los avances de la medicina en estas últimas décadas consiste en la cirugía conservadora de mama: se extirpa el tumor mamario …

El léxico de los oficios en la estructura antroponímica de la Cataluña altomedieval
2017
Razones institucionales, económicas y sociales provocaron en la Cataluña de los ss. X y XI una gran depauperación antroponí- mica. Dado que tal empobrecimiento podía dar lugar a confusiones sobre la identidad de los involucrados en un proceso jurídico, se empezó a identificarlos con su oficio. En la documentación latina de la Cataluña de ese tiempo se atestiguan por primera vez, gracias a esta nueva estructura antroponímica, en la que se halla el origen de nuestros apellidos, muchos términos de este campo semántico, algunos de los cuales sólo aparecen con esta función y, a menudo, ya en catalán. En este trabajo se muestra, con ejemplos concretos, la relación de este nuevo sistema con el léx…
Cartas cabales de Tomás Segovia : radicalités critiques en toutes lettres
2017
International audience; L’écrivain Tomás Segovia (Valencia, 1927-México 2011) a fait le choix, en de nombreuses occasions, de ce support irréductible à tout enfermement qu’est la lettre. Cette étude vise à interroger la pertinence de la médiation de l’épistolaire pour le travail de pensée. On analyse ici brièvement cette articulation dans les écrits de Tomás Segovia, plus particulièrement dans ses Cartas cabales : des lettres publiées entre 1995 et 2011 qui invitent à la distance critique et à la sédition dans un positionnement politique formulé sans ambages : « escalera a la izquierda ». L’analyse tente de montrer comment la passion épistolaire qui anime ses textes se met au service d’un t…

Reseña de: Joan Mahiques Climent, Els morts agraïts, Manacor, Món de Llibres, 2016
2017
Qualsevol aproximació monogràfica a motius, temes o arguments (tipus) folk-lòrics és i serà sempre complexa. El llibre de Mahiques Climent, guanyador del Premi Ciutat de Manacor d'Assaig Antoni M. Alcover, 2016, des del seu títol ben suggeridor, Els morts agraïts, significa una arriscada aposta per aplicar una certa lògica del relat a un tema força desconegut, aposta engrescada i aplicada sense les restriccions formals que, a vegades, tenallen els treballs primerencs dins el camp de la rondallística. L'autor té experiència sobrada en l'estudi de les literatures clàs-siques hispàniques, i, en concret, dins l'àmbit que ens afecta, ha treballat ante-riorment amb rigor en relats i històries de …
A Crisis Management Serious Game for Responding Extreme Weather Event
2017
Managing crisis with limited resources through a serious game is deemed as one of the ways of training and can be regarded as an alternative to the table-top exercise. This paper presents the so-called “Operasjon Tyrsdal” serious game, inspired by a real case of extreme weather that hit the west coast of Norway. This reference case is used to add realism to the game. The game is designed for a single player, while the mechanics are framed in such way that the player should deal with limited resources, and elevated event pressure over time to manage. Beside applying an iterative Scrum method with seven Sprint cycles, we combined the development work with desk research and involvement of test…
Corruption, Carry Trades, and the Cross Section of Currency Returns
2017
This is the first paper to explore the effects of perceived corruption on the FX market. It finds that the currencies of countries perceived to suffer from high levels of corruption generate statistically significantly lower returns than the currencies of countries perceived to have low levels of corruption. Moreover, the portfolio spread is highly correlated with NBER recessions and U.S. consumption growth of nondurable goods. Interestingly, stochastic discount factor model analysis reveals that the portfolio spread is useful for pricing the cross section of currency returns, even when controlling for standard FX risk factors.
Forward Trading and Entry under Incomplete Information
2017
This paper examines the strategic use of forward trading by an incumbent producer who faces potential entry under incomplete information. We show the existence of Bayesian-Nash equilibria in which the incumbent uses forward transactions to deter entry that would have occurred under complete information. Additionally, we find that increasing the frequency of forward trading can raise the volume of pre-entry forward trading and affect the likelihood of entry. Our analysis shows that the incumbent can deter entry with a short position if production cost correlation is low and with a long position if that correlation is high. In the limiting case of continuous trading, these two configurations …

2017
A pentanuclear [CoII3CoIII2] cluster complex has been developed by a solvothermal synthesis. Its highly stable metal-mixed Fe–Co derivatives display robust spin crossover (T1/2 = 268 K) controlled by the degree of substitution.
Modélisation du comportement des agriculteurs face au risque dans un modèle de programmation mathématique positive (PMP) à grande échelle
2017
Agricultural production is characterized for being a risky business due to weather variability, market instability, plant diseases as well as climate change and political economy uncertainty. The modelling of risk at farm level is not new, however, the inclusion of risk in Positive Mathematical Programming (PMP) models is particularly challenging. Most of the few existing PMP-risk approaches have been conducted at farm-type level and for a very limited and specific sample of farms. This implies that the modelling of risk and uncertainty at individual farm level and in a large scale system is still a challenging task. The aim of this paper is to formulate, estimate and test a robust methodol…
A new inter-cloud service-level guarantee protocol applied to space missions
2017
Nowadays, the term cloud computing often falsely assumes the availability of an unlimited pool of resources. On the contrary, if a cloud provider reaches its limits, it may pose the risk of breaking their service level agreement (SLA). Space agencies could start using the cloud computing model within their IT infrastructure with multiple ground control points around the world to reduce the cost. An inter-cloud communication protocol with a guarantee of the service level will significantly reduce the cost if each ground control segment is considered as a cloud provider. This paper outlines a new protocol that was developed to take into consideration the end-to-end service-level guarantee. Th…
Stochastic response of a fractional vibroimpact system
2017
Abstract The paper proposes a method to investigate the stochastic dynamics of a vibroimpact single-degree-of-freedom fractional system under a Gaussian white noise input. It is assumed that the system has a hard type impact against a one-sided motionless barrier, which is located at the system’s equilibrium position; furthermore, the system under study is endowed with an element modeled with fractional derivative. The proposed method is based on stochastic averaging technique and overcome the particular difficulty due to the presence of fractional derivative of an absolute value function; particularly an analytical expression for the system’s mean squared response amplitude is presented an…
Greenhouse gas emissions and the links to plant performance in a fixed-film activated sludge membrane bioreactor - Pilot plant experimental evidence
2017
The present study explores the interlinkages among the operational variables of a University of Cape Town (UCT) Integrated Fixed Film Activated Sludge (IFAS) membrane bioreactor (MBR) pilot plant. Specifically, dedicated experimental tests were carried out with the final aim to find-out a constitutive relationship among operational costs (OCs), effluent quality index (EQI), effluent fines (EF). Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were also included in the study. Results showed that the EQI increases at low flow rate likely due to the dissolved oxygen (DO) limitation in the biological processes. Direct GHGs increase with the increasing of the air flow due to the anoxic N2O contribution. Irreversi…
Separase is a marker for prognosis and mitotic activity in breast cancer
2017
Background: Cancer cell proliferation is a critical feature in classifying and predicting the outcome of breast carcinoma. Separase has a central role in cell cycle progression in unleashing sister-chromatids at anaphase onset. Abnormally functioning separase is known to lead to chromosomal instability. Methods: The study comprises 349 breast carcinoma patients treated in Central Hospital of Central Finland. The prognostic value, role as a proliferation marker and regulatory interactions of separase are evaluated by immunohistochemical and double- and triple-immunofluorescence (IF) detections based on complete clinical data and >22-year follow-up of the patient material. Results: In our mat…
A novel compound of triphenyltin(IV) with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-ornithine causes cancer cell death by inducing a p53-dependent activation of the mi…
2017
The triphenyltin(IV) compound with N-tert-butoxycarbonyl-L-ornithine (Boc-Orn-OH), [Ph3Sn(Boc-Orn-O)], was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR, solution1H,13C and119Sn NMR and ESI mass spectrometry. The organotin(IV) compound inhibited at very low micromolar concentrations the growth of human tumor cell lines HepG2 (hepatocarcinoma cells), MCF-7 (mammary cancer) and HCT116 (colorectal carcinoma) while it did not affect the viability of non-malignant human-derived hepatic cells Chang. The mechanism of the antiproliferative effect of Ph3Sn(Boc-Orn-O), investigated on human hepatoma HepG2 cells, was pro-apoptotic, being associated with externalization of plasma membrane …
Zirconium oxocluster/polymer hybrid nanoparticles prepared by photoactivated miniemulsion copolymerization
2017
The photoactivated free radical miniemulsion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and the zirconium oxocluster Zr4O2(methacrylate) 12 is used as an effective and fast preparation method for polymer/inorganic hybrid nanoparticles. The oxoclusters, covalently anchored to the polymer network, act as metal-organic cross-linkers, thus improving the thermomechanical properties of the resulting hybrid nanoparticles. Benzoin carbonyl organic compounds were used as photoinitiators. The obtained materials are compared in terms of cross-linking, effectiveness of cluster incorporation, and size distribution with the analogous nanoparticles produced by using conventional thermally induced free …
Subjectivation, togetherness, environment. Potentials of participatory art for Art Education for Sustainable Development (AESD)
2017
Through a process-oriented analysis of the participatory art project The Hill this article explores the relevance of participatory art projects for the development of AESD – Art Education for Sustainable Development. Inspired by Felix Guattari’s Three Ecologies (2008) the analysis moves through three sub-studies delving into three different aspects of the project. Each sub-study adopts two overlapping analytical ‘lenses’: The lens of a contemporary art form (performance art, community art, and site-specific art) and the lens of a related theoretical concept (subjectivation, togetherness, environment). The aim is to propose art educational ideas and strategies that stimulate students to chal…

Cardiovascular malformations are frequently associated in patients with esophageal atresia (EA). We observed azygos continuation mimicking an aortic arch anomaly in four newborns with type III EA. They presented concomitant rib anomalies indicating a common developmental defect. Foreknowledge is important for planning thoracotomy or interventional cardiac catheterization in this population.
On the exhaustive generation of k-convex polyominoes
2017
The degree of convexity of a convex polyomino P is the smallest integer k such that any two cells of P can be joined by a monotone path inside P with at most k changes of direction. In this paper we present a simple algorithm for computing the degree of convexity of a convex polyomino and we show how it can be used to design an algorithm that generates, given an integer k, all k-convex polyominoes of area n in constant amortized time, using space O(n). Furthermore, by applying few changes, we are able to generate all convex polyominoes whose degree of convexity is exactly k.
Trans-oceanic genomic divergence of Atlantic cod ecotypes is associated with large inversions
2017
Chromosomal rearrangements such as inversions can play a crucial role in maintaining polymorphism underlying complex traits and contribute to the process of speciation. In Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), inversions of several megabases have been identified that dominate genomic differentiation between migratory and nonmigratory ecotypes in the Northeast Atlantic. Here, we show that the same genomic regions display elevated divergence and contribute to ecotype divergence in the Northwest Atlantic as well. The occurrence of these inversions on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean reveals a common evolutionary origin, predating the >100 000-year-old trans-Atlantic separation of Atlantic cod. The long…

Human Biomonitoring of food contaminants in Spanish children: Design, sampling and lessons learned
2017
Abstract Human Biomonitoring (HBM) studies are highly useful for evaluating population exposure to environmental contaminants and are being carried out in increasing numbers all over the world. The use of HBM in the field of food safety, in a risk assessment context, presents a growing interest as more health-based guidance values (HBGV) in biological matrices are derived, and can be used in a complementary way to the external exposure approaches such as total diet studies or surveillance programmes. The aims of the present work are: i) to describe the methodological framework of the BIOVAL study, a cross-sectional HBM program carried out by the Health Department of the Regional Government …

"Govoriti ćutanjem nije isto što i ćutati”. Analiza romana "Kuća sećanja i zaborava" Filipa Davida
2017
The paper analyzes the diverse representations of silence. The starting point is the thesis assuming that the Serbian writer’s novel belongs to the category of Holocaust texts endeavoring to describe/transcribe trauma. Such an experience resists verbalization, and aporia is inscribed in the very attempt to transfer it via language. The subsequent sections of the article are devoted to the various modes of manifestations of silence/muteness in the novel. Among others, these are: the images of aphasia triggered by the dramatic experience (it is worth noticing here that the novel reuses its author’s autobiographical experiences); post-memory, which is directly connected to the broken communica…
Gnaphalio uliginosi-eleocharitetum acicularis Passarge 1999, new plant community in Poland
2017
Zbiorniki wodne są bardzo cennymi miejscami florystycznymi w Polsce. Wśród nich najważniejsze dla zachowania różnorodności biologicznej flory są stawy rybne. Długookresowy proces oddziaływania ludzkiego na tego typu siedliska powodował zakłócenia w ich równowadze biologicznej. Zmiany w systemie wodnym, rozwój przemysłowy i chemizacja rolnictwa, zwłaszcza w okresie ostatnich dwóch stuleci, doprowadziły do zaniku wielu gatunków roślin oraz zbiorowisk roślinnych. Zespół Gnaphalio uliginosi-Eleocharitetum acicularis Passarge 1999 z klasy Isoëto-Nanojuncetea Br.-Bl. et Tx. 1943, po raz pierwszy został opisany w Niemczech. Rośnie na piaszczystych lub mulistych brzegach rzek, starorzeczach i w sta…

Zorganizowana grupa i związek przestępczy w świetle orzecznictwa sądowego oraz poglądów doktryny – wybrane zagadnienia
2017
W przepisie art. 258 k.k. spenalizowane zostało przestępstwo polegające na braniu udziału w zorganizowanej grupie albo związku przestępnym. W wyniku implementacji Decyzji Ramowej Rady z dnia 13 czerwca 2002 r., w sprawie zwalczania terroryzmu, wprowadzono zmiany m.in. do k.k. rozszerzające zakres kryminalizacji tego przestępstwa. W k.k. brak ustawowej definicji zorganizowanej grupy oraz związku przestępnego. Interpretacja tych pojęć powoduje kontrowersje w orzecznictwie sądowym oraz doktrynie prawa karnego. Wydaje się, iż przy ich definiowaniu należy uwzględnić różne aspekty, tj.: aspekt strukturalny, funkcjonalny, dynamiczny, psychologiczny, socjologiczny
