Kapitalismin käsite : Deleuzen ja Guattarin Marx-luenta ja autonomiset liikkeet
2014
Tutkielmassa lähestytään kapitalismin käsitettä Gilles Deleuzen ja Félix Guattarin Marx-luennan pohjalta. Pyrin muodostamaan systemaattisen esityksen Deleuzen ja Guattarin kapitalismianalyysista, joka on toiminut yhtenä viitekehyksenä 1990-luvulla nousseelle tietotalous- ja prekariaattikeskustelulle sekä tietyille yhteiskunnallisille liikkeille, kuten EuroMayDay-mielenosoituksia järjestäneelle ja perustuloa vaatineelle prekariaattiliikkeelle. Deleuzen ja Guattarin ajattelussa kapitalismi on yhteiskunnallisten virtausten sattumanvaraisesta yhdistymisestä kehittynyt monimutkainen ja globaali yhteiskuntajärjestelmä, joka elää ristiriidoista ja jonka ainoa tarkoitus on Marxin esittelemän pääoma…
De la performance musicale dans la Guyane traditionnelle : expression cognitive singulière d?une musique-verbe
2021
Guianese culture and traditional music, here evoked, are various. It is more a transcultural process that, along centuries, gave an original result born in the Americas, in Guiana in this case. It is a form of refoundation, of recreation of cultures and new human beings generally called Creoles. The musical performance, that I study here, is the echo of social and cultural space of this reformulation of thought, life, and conception of the world. It is, as well, a mean of transposition and transformation of the values issued of diverse sources and categories. It is in no way a second-rate cultural practice, as it is the place where were born philosophies and actions for common life as well …
Prominence and centralization: a two-way contrast between lexical and epenthetic non-labial high vowels in Algherese Catalan
2015
Algherese Catalan has the peculiarity of presenting an inserted [i] vowel across words in order to avoid certain consonant codas. In this study, we compare five acoustic features of this epenthetic segment (i.e., duration, intensity, and the three first formants) with those of lexical /i/ vowels, both stressed and unstressed. The results indicate that the three vowels present differences only with respect to duration, F2 and, to a lesser extent, F3. The second formant values decline progressively from the lexical stressed vowels to the inserted unstressed segments, with lexical unstressed segments at an intermediate point. This gradation mirrors the relative prominence of each vowel. The di…
Albert Soubies et Charles Malherbe : contributions à l’histoire de l’Opéra-Comique
2017
International audience; Cet article traite de plusieurs ouvrages écrits sur l’Opéra-Comique au tournant des xixe et xxe siècles. Il s’arrête en particulier sur les livres d’Arthur Pougin, Albert Soubies et Charles Malherbe. Les préfaces des ouvrages sont analysées pour comprendre les intentions historiques qui animent ces auteurs. Sur quelles sources travaillent-ils ? Quelles sont les places respectives de la compilation d’autres ouvrages et de l’analyse du document original ? Une attention particulière est portée à l’Almanach des spectacles édité par Soubies à partir de 1874, et à son utilisation.
Forecasting correlated time series with exponential smoothing models
2011
Abstract This paper presents the Bayesian analysis of a general multivariate exponential smoothing model that allows us to forecast time series jointly, subject to correlated random disturbances. The general multivariate model, which can be formulated as a seemingly unrelated regression model, includes the previously studied homogeneous multivariate Holt-Winters’ model as a special case when all of the univariate series share a common structure. MCMC simulation techniques are required in order to approach the non-analytically tractable posterior distribution of the model parameters. The predictive distribution is then estimated using Monte Carlo integration. A Bayesian model selection crite…
Phase Ib Trial Trial of Rg7116, a Glycoengineered Monoclonal Antibody Targeting Her3, in Combination with Cetuximab or Erlotinib in Patients with Adv…
2014
ABSTRACT Aim: To evaluate the safety profile of RG7116 in combination with cetuximab or erlotinib. Methods: Patients (pts) with advanced or metastatic carcinomas with centrally confirmed HER3 protein expression were included. RG7116 plus cetuximab (400 mg/m2 followed by 250 mg/m2 qw IV) and RG7116 plus erlotinib (150 mg/day p.o.) combinations were evaluated in a dose escalation study with “3 + 3” design at a starting dose of 400 mg IV of RG7116 in a q2w regimen. Results: Twenty-seven pts were enrolled in 5 cohorts (400 to 2000 mg) in the cetuximab arm. One dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) of grade 3 dehydration was reported in the 800-mg cohort. Twenty-seven pts were enrolled in 4 cohorts (400 …
Monte Carlo simulation of many-arm star polymers in two-dimensional good solvents in the bulk and at a surface
1991
A Monte Carlo technique is proposed for the simulation of statistical properties of many-arm star polymers on lattices. In this vectorizing algorithm, the length of each arml is increased by one, step by step, from a starting configuration withl=1 orl=2 which is generated directly. This procedure is carried out for a large sample (e.g., 100,000 configurations). As an application, we have studied self-avoiding stars on the square lattice with arm lengths up tol max=125 and up tof=20 arms, both in the bulk and in the geometry where the center of the star is adsorbed on a repulsive surface. The total number of configurations, which behaves asN∼l γ G–1μ fl , whereμ=2.6386 is the usual effective…
Theoretical electronic spectra of 2-aminopurine in vapor and in water
2006
The accurate quantum chemical CASSCF and CASPT2 methods combined with a Monte Carlo procedure to mimic solvation effects have been used in the calculation of the spectroscopic properties of two tautomers of 2-aminopurine (2AP). Absorption and emission spectra have been simulated both in vacuum and in aqueous environment. State and transition energies and properties have been obtained with high accuracy, leading to the assignment of the most important spectroscopic features. The lowest-lying 1 (,*) ( 1 La) state has been determined as responsible for the first band in the absorption spectrum and also for the strong fluorescence observed for the system in water. The combined approach used in …
Interferon-alpha stimulates production of interleukin-10 in activated CD4+ T cells and monocytes
1996
In the present study, we investigated the effect of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) on the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) mRNA and protein synthesis in human monocytes and CD4+ T cells. In mononuclear cells, IFN-alpha induced expression of IL-10 mRNA and further enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated IL-10 expression. In purified monocytes, a strong expression of IL-10 mRNA induced by LPS was not further enhanced by IFN-alpha. In highly purified CD4+ T cells, IFN- alpha upregulated IL-10 mRNA upon activation with phytohemagglutinin and phorbol myristate acetate. In purified monocytes, an effect of IFN- alpha on IL-10 protein synthesis was dependent on costimulation with LPS. Maxima…
Permian-Triassic Osteichthyes (bony fishes): diversity dynamics and body size evolution
2014
The Permian and Triassic were key time intervals in the history of life on Earth. Both periods are marked by a series of biotic crises including the most catastrophic of such events, the end-Permian mass extinction, which eventually led to a major turnover from typical Palaeozoic faunas and floras to those that are emblematic for the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. Here we review patterns in Permian-Triassic bony fishes, a group whose evolutionary dynamics are understudied. Based on data from primary literature, we analyse changes in their taxonomic diversity and body size (as a proxy for trophic position) and explore their response to Permian-Triassic events. Diversity and body size are investigate…
