Medicaid Status, Race Linked with Hospital Readmissions
As payers, providers and policymakers look for ways to address hospital readmissions, research published Wednesday in the Journal of Hospital Medicine offer insight into possible risk factors.
The authors of "Redefining Readmission Risk Factors for General Medicine Patients" find that being African American and receiving Medicaid are both factors.
"Though current strategies focus largely on clinical risk factors, this study shows that nonclinical factors play an equally important but underappreciated role in contributing to readmission," the authors write. They conclude that identification of these factors can help providers target interventions to potentially reduce readmissions.
In a retrospective observational study of an administrative database, Nazima Allaudeen, MD, and colleagues at the University of California San Francisco, examined the factors behind unplanned hospital readmission within 30 days.
This study looked at 6,805 patients (10,359 admissions) admitted to UCSF hospitals between June 2006 and May 2008. Seventeen percent of admissions were readmitted within 30 days, with 49.7 percent occurring within 10 days.
Both being African-American and being on Medicaid were associated with readmission, (43 percent and 15 percent increased risks of readmission respectively) after adjustment for other variables.
Of the clinical factors, high-risk medications and several comorbidities (congestive heart failure, renal disease, cancer [with and without metastasis], weight loss, and iron-deficiency anemia) were associated with readmission. Researchers also examined operational factors (e.g., weekend discharge), but none was significantly associated with readmission.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

Maryland is considering a potentially preventable readmission program via financial disincentives through its hospital regulated rates program (HSCRC). It identifies ANY psych or substance abuse readmission as being potentially preventable, meaning the index admission is potentially not paid for. The mental health community is concerned about unintentional consequences of this policy, planned to go into effect 2010. http://www.hscrc.state.md.us/init_qi_MHPR.cfm

One of the factors in hospital readmissions that none of the studies seem to take into consideration is "patient noncompliance". You can provide all the teaching and interventions you can think of, but if the patient is noncompliant after leaving the hospital, they are more likely to be readmitted. One intervention that the federal government does not like is "home care". Home care following a hospital admission will asssit the patient in compliance with the treatment plan developed on discharge from the hospital. However, the federal government does not see this important role that home care plays after hospital discharge.

Queensbury Woman Allegedly Collects 2 DWI's In 3 Hours
One DWI is enough, but two in three hours?
One DWI is enough, but two in three hours?
This week's "Hometown Hero," Stephen Freiberger, of Stillwater, has worked a multitude of jobs as a civil servant, including working as an EMT, Army veteran, police officer, and firefighter.
Heavy rain Sunday and a music festival in Saugerties plus a whole lot of people trying to leave a super muddy grass field parking lot thing at the same time? Well, the title of this story says it all.
With my time in Albany coming to a close, I'd like to look at some places I will miss after I am gone.
Little is known about the rotting meat that was found on Aviation Road near the mall in Queensbury last Thursday (July 10) but is sure is stinking up cars whose drivers decided to drive through it.
I'd expect better of criminals in Albany but I guess I was wrong as one car thief attempted to bribe his victim of $20 to return his car.
There's been a lot of recent stories both nationally and locally about children being left in cars with the windows up on hot days while Mommy or Daddy go to a store, etc. Sadly some of these stories have resulted in death.
As I was wondering around on CBS6's website I read an article with 'Tips To Prevent Child Deaths In Hot Cars' and thought to myself "we really need a list of tips for not forgetting YOUR child in the backseat"?
How about this Mechanicville mom leaving her three kids in the car back on July 5 as she shopped inside of Price Chopper? Pretty sweet, ehh? Um, no.
You may have noticed heavy traffic approaching the Crossgates Mall exit ramp on the south-bound side of Northway, Wednesday? I remember seeing a car-fire pic on Twitter and thought, oops, somebody has electrical issues. As it turns out, it was much worse than that.
I finally got to talk with my new favorite online "sensation." Check out my extraordinary conversation with the Metal Madman himself.
Hey E-Z Pass users, do me a favor? Keep your eye open for suspicious emails from E-Z Pass.
The driver allegedly responsible for the deadly July 4th thruway accident that claimed the lives of 23-year-old Cody Veverka and 24-year-old Alica Tamboia was charged with multiple felonies Tuesday in Guilderland Town Court.

Plaistow mother, boyfriend face witness-tampering charges in abuse case
Jessica Linscott, 23, now faces the prospect of state prison time after first being charged with six misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Her boyfriend, Roland Dow, 27, is headed to trial next month on charges of first- and second-degree assault for allegedly striking 3-year-old James Nicholson in the head and burning the boy's wrists and fingers.
The couple's latest troubles came to light during a bail hearing for Linscott Wednesday morning. Linscott and Dow remained on the run for two weeks beginning in late November until they were apprehended by U.S. Marshals at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.
Judge Marguerite Wageling denied a request by Linscott on Wednesday to have phone and in-person contact with her son.
Wageling decided that Linscott will be able to write letters to her son, but they first must be sent to county prosecutors before being passed on to the boy's therapist. Prosecutors say they obtained a computer video file that recorded Dow and Linscott talking to the boy on Oct. 23 just prior to a well-being check by a worker from the Department of Children, Youth and Families.
"Roland Dow and Jessica Linscott are speaking at different times," said Michael J. Zaino, assistant Rockingham County attorney. "The conversation ranges over lots of topics, but (includes) very specifically what he is allowed to say, what he is not allowed to say. He is not allowed to say he knew she was coming. It ranges from whether he gets bloody noses, whether he gets spanked, this takes up a span of 20 minutes."
Part of Wednesday's hearing was determined to be non-public by Wageling. Instead of holding the hearing in chambers, she called lawyers, Linscott and a witness to the bench. Wageling spent several minutes talking to the witness called by the defense, and then had lawyers make their arguments in open court. State law allows for matters concerning the Division of Children, Youth and Families to be shielded from the public.
Linscott and Dow are expected to each face two counts of witness tampering for the computer video recovered by investigators. Zaino said the file was recovered while executing a search warrant for a computer.

The surface roughness evolution of two silica-based sol-gel materials under 650 eV argon ion beam sputtering has been investigated. The liquid sol-gel solutions had been applied on silicon substrates using the dip coating technique and then thermally cured to obtain solid thin films. Their thickness had then been controlled over the samples surface using spectroscopic ellipsometry. The surface roughness of the sol-gel films has been measured using both interferometric profilometry and atomic force microscopy at different sputtering depths. Roughness increases significantly faster with sputtering depth in sol-gel layers than on bulk fused silica. Interestingly, the sputtering rates of the sol-gel layers are also observed to be much higher that of bulk fused silica. The development of micron scale holes with relatively stable interstices rules the surface roughness evolution. AFM measurements revealed a regular submicron scale lateral structure which nanometric amplitude is amplified under sputtering. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 7 (1 ULg)

Near death experiences (NDEs) are increasingly being reported as a clearly identifiable physiological and psychological reality of clinical significance. Empirical studies of NDEs have mostly been conducted in patients with life threatening situations such as cardiac arrest [1-5] or (albeit more rarely) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury[6]. To the best of our knowledge, no study has formally compared the influence of the cause of coma to the intensity or content of the NDE. Using the Greyson NDE scale [7], the present retrospective study aimed at: (1) exploring the NDE intensity and content in "NDE-like" accounts following non-life-threatening events versus "real NDE" following coma; (2) comparing the "real NDE" characteristics according to the etiology of the brain damage (anoxic, traumatic or other) and; (3) comparing our retrospectively obtained data in anoxic coma to historical previously published prospectively collected post-anoxic NDEs.

Developping a physically based groundwater vulnerability concept in a DPSIR framework

A general physically based method is presented to assess vulnerability of groundwater to external pressures with respect to quality and/or quantity issues. In the vulnerability assessments, many scientific authors agree nowadays that 'physically based' methods must be preferred to traditional approaches based on empirical overlay and index methods where physical attributes are often mixed with implicitly embedded conventional priorities. Results from one or another of these last methods can consequently be very dissimilar for a given case study and decision makers are losing confidence in these tools. A methodology is proposed to reframe the groundwater vulnerability assessment in a Pressure-State-Impact causal chain that is familiar to decision makers. The DPSIR framework, for describing interactions between society and the environment, defines a chain of Drivers that exert Pressures on the State of a given resource, such as water, which then generates an Impact that will require an appropriate Response (Kristensen, 2004). The concept of groundwater vulnerability assessment considered here is based on the calculation of sensitivity coefficients for a user-defined groundwater state for which several physically-based indicators are proposed. These sensitivity coefficients reflect the easiness with which the groundwater state transmits pressures into impacts. They are grouped into a vulnerability matrix of pressures and impacts that quantify vulnerability for every combination of causal links identified in the DPSIR chain. For that reason, the sensitivity coefficients are converted to vulnerability, using the concept of 'falling below a given threshold', which is commonly used in socioeconomic sciences (Luers et al. 2003). Outside the careful selection of the sensitivity analysis method that can significantly influence the computational effort (Beaujean et al., 2013), emphasis will be given to the illustration of the general methodology on a simple case (of an alluvial aquifer with concerns related to water supply) demonstrating the potential use of this general and physically based vulnerability assessment method. While the methodology is general, the choice of causal chains has to be made prior to the calculation. The vulnerability is also related to a damaged state and is related to the 'distance' between the current state and a given threshold. This choice is arbitrary such that the vulnerability is sensitive to the choice of the threshold. The framework is general and, when applied to water, can include states that are not limited to quality such as, for example, water quantity and availability.

Etude de la fibrose pulmonaire idiopathique canine: analyse du transcriptome, investigation des voies du TGF beta 1 et recherche de biomarqueurs

Canine idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (cIPF) is a fibrotic disease of the pulmonary parenchyma, mainly seen in the West Highland white terrier. It is characterized by exercise intolerance and cough with a progressive deterioration until death from respiratory insufficiency. Clinical, tomodensitometric and histological characteristics of cIPF have been described recently. However, this disease remains largely unknown and the clinicians are dealing with two major challenges: confirmation of the diagnosis, which requires many complementary exams, and absence of effective treatment. Identification of a targeted therapy is difficult without having a good understanding of the mechanisms leading to pulmonary parenchyma fibrosis. A similar disease, the idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is recognized in humans and cIPF might be interesting as a spontaneous model. This project in dogs was undertaken to answer, at least partly, to these challenges. The aims were to elucidate some mechanisms involved in cIPF pathogenesis and to identify biomarkers that could be used in the diagnosis process. The hypotheses were first that analysis of the transcriptome through microarray experiment would identify altered biological functions in cIPF, highlight specific molecules with an altered expression and identify potential biomarkers. Another hypothesis was the transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGFB1) pathways, considered central in the pathogenesis of IPF, would also be modified in cIPF. Finally, ET1, a known biomarker in human IPF, might also be an interesting biomarker in dogs. Gene expression analysis through microarray analysis, combined with the use of IPA, a data analysis program, identified altered biological functions in cIPF: cellular growth and proliferation, developmental processes, cellular movement, cell to cell signaling and interaction and antigen presentation. Some genes highlighted in the microarray experiment were then analyzed individually. Quantitative RT-PCR analysis confirmed an upregulation of the expression of CCL2, CCL7, CXCL14, IL8 and FAP (fibroblast activation protein) as well as a downregulation of the expression of PLUNC (palate, lung and nasal epithelium associated). We then complete the gene expression analysis with a search for potential biomarkers. Thirty-four potential biomarkers were identified with 32 biomarkers potentially measurable in blood (including CCL2, serum amyloid 1, IL8) and 2 biomarkers measurable only in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) (PLUNC and mesothelin). This approach was validated by measurement in serum of one of this biomarker: CCL2. CCL2 serum concentration was higher in affected WHWT compared to healthy WHWT and also higher in dogs with cIPF compared to dogs with chronic bronchitis (CB) or eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy (EBP). Based on serum CCL2 determination, cIPF was diagnosed with a sensibility of 92% and a specificity of 80%. We then studied TGFB1 and part of its storage, activation and signaling pathways. TGFB1 gene expression was not significantly different in the pulmonary parenchyma between affected and control dogs. However, in affected dogs, increased TGFB1 protein levels were seen by immunohistochemistry in fibrotic areas. High expression of bothTGFB1 type I receptor and phosphorylated Smad2/3, markers of an active intracellular TGFB1 signal, were seen in epithelial cells. No difference in expression for the storage proteins LTBP1 and LTBP2 was seen while expression of LTBP4 was significantly decreased in dogs with cIPF. Concerning the proteins involved in TGFB1 activation, gene expression was decreased for integrin subunit β8, increased for thrombospondin-1 and not modified for integrin subunit β6. Expression of Smad 7, involved in intracellular TGFB1 signal inhibition, was not modified. No difference for TGFB1 serum concentration was seen between WHWT with cIPF and healthy WHWT. A multivariate analysis performed on healthy dogs showed no age effect but a significant breed effect with higher levels in predisposed breeds. We evaluated part of the serotonin pathway, as one of its receptor (5HTR2B) was highlighted during the gene expression analysis. Serotonin has also been involved in the pathogenesis of human IPF and described to be of potential use as a biomarker in degenerative mitral valve disease in dogs. Expression of 2 serotonin receptors (5HTR2A and 5HTR2B), evaluated by quantitative RT-PCR in pulmonary tissue, was not different between dogs with cIPF and control dogs while expression of the serotonin transporter (5HTT) was significantly lower in affected dogs. No difference in serotonin serum level was seen between affected and healthy WHWT or between dogs with cIPF, CB or EBP. ET1 was evaluated as a biomarker in serum and BALF. ET1 serum concentration was not different between healthy WHWT and Beagles. Covariance analysis did not reveal any significant age effect. Serum levels were significantly higher in dogs with cIPF compared to dogs with CB or EBP. ROC curve analysis was then used to evaluate its diagnostic performances. The area under the curve was 0,818 with a sensitivity of 91.7% and a specificity of 87.5%. ET1 was also measured in the BALF in a small number of dogs. Its concentration was measurable in all dogs with cIPF while it was below the detection limit in all other dogs tested (healthy and with CB). Even though cIPF and human IPF are not completely identical from clinical, tomodensitometric or histological points of view, these results show that both canine and human diseases share molecular pathways, supporting the idea that cIPF might have an interest as spontaneous model. This work allowed a better understanding of cIPF pathogenesis. Gene expression analysis in the pulmonary parenchyma of affected dogs first identified several altered biological functions that should be analyzed in details in further studies. A more targeted analysis of some genes confirmed an upregulated expression of CCL2, CCL7, CXCL14, IL8 and FAP. Such a positive regulation of the expression of various inflammatory cytokines tends to suggest that inflammation might have a role in cIPF pathogenesis. Some of these cytokines also have profibrotic properties. PLUNC was one of the top down-regulated genes. Roles of the protein are still largely unknown; it might have a role in the inflammatory response and in the innate immunity. Developmental pathways were also altered in cIPF and quantitative RT-PCR confirmed an upregulation of FAP, a protein normally expressed in areas of tissue remodeling during fetal development and also positively regulated in human IPF. This study has shown that there is an active TGFB1 signal in the lungs of dogs with cIPF, especially at the level of the pathological epithelium. TGFB1 storage and activation pathways also seemed to be altered. Elevated TGFB1 circulating levels were found in predisposed breeds, which might explain at least partly their susceptibility for cIPF. Because of these results and its well-known profibrotic properties, we can suggest that TGFB1 is probably involved in cIPF pathogenesis and that modulation of its storage, activation or intracellular signaling might offer potential therapeutic targets. Our preliminary results are not in favor of a significant modification of the serotonin pathways in cIPF, although a decreased expression of 5HTT was seen in affected dogs and might have an impact on the amount of serotonin present locally. However, other studies are needed to conclude. Finally, several potential biomarkers have been identified and some of them were evaluated in details. While serum measurements performed for TGFB1 and serotonin indicated that these molecules have no interest as diagnostic biomarkers, ET1 and CCL2 were identified as interesting candidates with good diagnostic performances. However these results need to be confirmed in an independent validation cohort and the interest of combining both biomarkers should be evaluated. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 39 (3 ULg)

The hermaphroditic gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis is proposed as a candidate species for the development of OECD guidelines for testing of the reprotoxicity of chemicals, including endocrine active substances (EASs). Up to now, only a few putative EASs have been tested for their reproductive toxicity in this species. In this study, we investigate the effects of four EASs with different affinities to the vertebrate estrogen and androgen receptors (chlordecone as an estrogen; cyproterone acetate, fenitrothion and vinclozolin as anti-androgens) on the reproduction of L. stagnalis in a 21-day semi-static test. Testosterone and 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) were used as the reference compounds. The tested EASs had no significant effect on growth and survival at the tested concentration ranges (ng to μg/L). Classical reproduction endpoints (i.e., oviposition and fecundity) were not responsive to the tested chemicals, except for chlordecone and 17α-ethinylestradiol, which hampered reproduction from 19.6 μg/L and 17.6 μg/L, respectively. The frequency of polyembryonic eggs, used as an additional endpoint, demonstrated the effects of all compounds except EE2. The molecular pathways, which are involved in such reproduction impairments, remain unknown. Our results suggest that egg quality is a more sensitive endpoint as compared to other reproductive endpoints commonly assessed in mollusk toxicity tests.

We adapt the idea of random projections applied to the out- put space, so as to enhance tree-based ensemble methods in the context of multi-label classification. We show how learning time complexity can be reduced without affecting computational complexity and accuracy of predictions. We also show that random output space projections may be used in order to reach different bias-variance tradeoffs, over a broad panel of benchmark problems, and that this may lead to improved accuracy while reducing significantly the computational burden of the learning stage.

Climate change will bring new pressure on surface and groundwater resources (e.g. Allen et al., 2004; Goderniaux et al., 2009; Van Roosmalen et al., 2009) in many parts of the world. Additional work is required to help water managers to plan for future changes. For example, most of studies provide projections for a stationary climate representative of the end of the century, although information is demanded for the near-future. A sophisticated transient weather generator (WG) in combination with an integrated surface-subsurface hydrological model (HydroGeoSphere) are used for producing a stochastic generation of large numbers of equiprobable climatic time series, representing transient climate change, and assess impacts on groundwater resources in a probabilistic way. This new methodology is applied for the unconfined chalky aquifer of Hesbaye (Geer basin in Belgium). The following uncertainty sources are studied : (1) the uncertainty linked to the calibration of the hydrological model, using 'UCODE_2005' (Poeter et al., 2005); (2) the uncertainty linked to the global and regional climatic models (GCMs and RCMs), by using a multi-model ensemble; (3) the uncertainty linked to the natural variability of the weather, by using stochastic climate change scenarios. 30 equiprobable climate change scenarios from 2010 to 2085 have been generated for each of 6 different RCMs. Results show that although the 95% confidence intervals calculated around projected groundwater levels remain large, the climate change signal becomes stronger than that of natural climate variability by 2085. Additionally, the WG ability to simulate transient climate change enabled the assessment of the likely timescale and associated uncertainty of a specific impact. This methodology constitutes a real improvement in the field of groundwater projections under climate change conditions as it enables water managers to analyse risks and take decisions with full knowledge of projected impact and their degree of confidence.

Germanium-tin alloys are currently receiving a lot of attention as materials for high performance MOSFET devices. Much interest is focused on the direct band gap for Sn concentrations above 8-10% and the achievement of high mobility values, which can be further increased by the strain due to the lattice mismatch with Ge or Si. GeSn is therefore expected to play a key role in the development of either source and drain stressors for Ge p-MOSFETs or for GeSn channel MOSFETs. However, despite recent tremendous progress in the growth of such materials, the impact of defects at the interface between Ge and GeSn has not been completely characterized. As the processing of diodes contains many of the steps necessary to the fabrication of MOSFET devices, we have investigated the effect of traps on the electrical characteristics of p-GeSn/n-Ge diodes, made from GeSn layers grown by CVD on Ge and in-situ doped with Boron. Using temperature-dependent current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance- voltage (C-V) measurements, we have calculated the ideality factor of the diodes, the activation energy of the reverse saturation current and the carrier concentration of the Ge substrate. In this work, based on the comparison with results obtained from numerical simulations, we discuss these characteristics in view of assessing the extent to which electronic trap states in these heterostructures affect their electrical properties.

Transcriptomic characterization of pancreatic duct cells in adult zebrafish David Bergemann, Estefañia Tarifeño, Aurélie Ghaye, Marianne Voz, Bernard Peers and Isabelle Manfroid* Zebrafish Development and Disease Models laboratory, Giga-Research, University of Liège, Belgium Loss of pancreatic beta cells is a hallmark of diabetes. To compensate the resulting deficit of insulin and maintain glucose homeostasis, beta cell replacement by transplantation or regeneration constitute promising strategies. Studies have shown beta cell neogenesis, though by mechanisms not fully understood. These beta cells can derive from replication of pre-existing beta cells1 or from conversion of alpha cells2. Besides these mechanisms, pancreatic ducts have also been hypothesized to contain progenitors/precursors for beta cell regeneration. However, the existence of such adult progenitors remains controversial. Zebrafish has been extensively used as a model for embryogenesis and regeneration. Their beta cells are very similar in development and function to their mammalian counterpart. Indeed, as in mammals, beta cells control glucose homeostasis in adult zebrafish. But, in contrast to mammals, adult zebrafish display the remarkable capacity to spontaneously, efficiently and rapidly regenerate their beta cells after ablation. The origin of these new beta cells is unknown but strong evidences collected in larvae argue in favour of a ductal origin. First, larval pancreatic ducts give rise to endocrine cells in normal condition and in response to the absence of beta cells4. Second, mutant larvae of the ductal marker sox9b harbour defects specifically in duct formation, and beta cell regeneration is impaired5. Here we show that adult pancreatic duct cells can give rise to beta cells. To get insight into this process, we established the transcriptome of adult duct cells by RNA-Seq. Comparison with the transcriptome of the other pancreatic cells identified known and novel ductal markers. Adult duct cells are also characterized by strong expression of embryonic pancreatic progenitor markers (sox9b, pdx1, nkx6.1 and components of the Notch pathway...). Future comparative analyses with ductal cells isolated from zebrafish in different conditions of beta cell (neo)genesis will help identify novel important players in beta cell formation from the ducts as well as regulators of beta cell regeneration. 1.

INTRODUCTION. Depression is a common psychopathology characterized by a decrease of the level of behavioural activation (BA) that is the level of engagement in activities. The relationship between depression and BA is well-established in the scientific literature. According to theoretical models of depression, psychopathology is also characterized by biases in five sets of psychological processes (PP): self-image (e.g. self-esteem), negative repetitive thoughts (e.g. ruminative thoughts), experiential avoidance (e.g. mindfulness), environmental satisfaction (e.g. environmental reward observation) and emotional regulation (e.g. distress tolerance). Therefore, the present study aims to identify PP mediating the relationship between depression and the level of BA. In order to reach this objective, a conceptual model is tested. METHOD. 361 adults (x ̅ age=36, σ=15), from clinical and non-clinical settings, fulfilled a series of questionnaires assessing several variables: sociodemographic data, depression, anxiety, level of BA and the above-cited five sets of PP. Covariance structure analysis will be conducted in order to test the conceptual model mentioned above. RESULTS. Some preliminary results are presented. As expected, a negative significant correlation between depression and BA (r=-.66, p<.01) have been highlighted. Negative significant correlation appeared between BA and the measured PP: self-esteem (r=-.27, p<.01), ruminative thinking (r=-.53, p<.01), environmental reward observation (=-.13, p<.05). Positive significant correlations appeared between BA and mindfulness (r=.49, p<.01) and distress tolerance (r=.26, p<.01). DISCUSSION. The preliminary results are in line with our hypotheses. Indeed, the level of BA is negatively linked to PP usually biased in depression such as self-esteem. The mediating role of these PP between depression and the level of BA will be discussed.

Surface waves and magnetic reconnection are two key processes taking place at the planetary magnetopause. They allow the coupling, through energy (and particle) transfer, of the interplanetary medium and the magnetosphere. The relative importance of large scale Dungey reconnection and viscous interaction (including small-scale intermittent reconnection associated with Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices) are expected to be different at Jupiter compared to the Earth's case. Such differences would be due to the combination of a) a weaker solar wind pressure and Alfvén velocity as the distance to the Sun increases, b) a high-β plasma sheet, originating from Io's outgassing, which inflates the Jovian magnetosphere, c) the rapid rotation of the planet relative to its size (e.g. Desroche et al. 2012). Here we analyse the signatures of wave activity and reconnection on the magnetopause of Jupiter, based on magnetic field and energetic particle measurements from the successive spacecraft that explored the Jovian system. Up to now, 7 spacecraft equipped with a magnetometer have crossed the Jovian magnetopause: Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Ulysses, Galileo and Cassini. We make use of several normal direction finding techniques, such as the Minimum Variance Analysis, in order to identify waves and Kelvin-Helmholtz vortices. As far as the reconnection is concerned, small scale signatures of flux-tube events (FTEs) had been identified by Walker and Russell (1985), based on a limited data-set from the Pioneers' and Voyagers' fly-bys. Here we will extend this search to the extensive dataset from all the missions that explored Jupiter's system. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 24 (7 ULg)
Valorisation de l'information pédologique numérisée pour la modélisation de la percolation des pesticides vers les eaux souterraines

In Wallonia (southern Belgium), 81% of human drinking water is captured from groundwater tables. In spite of actions implemented under the European directives and thematic strategies, the required standard (0.1 µg L-1 by pesticide and 0.5 µg L-1 for all pesticides) for human drinking water is most often exceeded at some catchments. Tools such as mechanistic models are appropriate since they allow an a priori estimation of pesticide concentrations leached at the bottom of soil profile, which could reach the groundwater tables. However, simulations often lead to a degree of uncertainty due to the approximations noted in the models, or due to the reliability of available data. The main objective of this thesis was to improve the usefulness of the Digital Soil Map of Wallonia (DSMW) and the associated soil analysis database named "Aardewerk" in the framework of the evaluation of the groundwater table contamination by pesticides, in order to reduce approximations associated with the GeoPEARL model and its meta-model MetaPEARL in the area of Condroz. In order to cover the broad spectrum of pesticides used in agriculture in Wallonia, nine theoretical pesticides have been defined. The first research question is to measure the sensitivity of GeoPEARL to two soil data parameterization schemes at the regional scale, depending on whether we first aggregate soil data at a regional scale before application of the model (AC approach); or we first apply the model to soil profiles and aggregate simulated leached concentrations afterwards (CA approach). The results show a significant difference between the two approaches, compared on the basis of a spatial threshold (80th percentile) calculated by soil type. Moreover, this difference varies depending on pesticide type, and is more important when the simulated concentrations are very low. It is also clear from this analysis that only pesticides located in certain ranges of DT50 (30 and 67 days) and Kom (58 and 252 dm3 kg-1) give concentrations more often above water potability standard of 0.1 µg L-1. The second research question is to calibrate MetaPEARL metamodel (simplified model) based on GeoPEARL simulated concentrations, from which it was derived by considering only the most sensitive parameters of GeoPEARL. The objective by developing a metamodel is to provide a simple tool, usable for a first evaluation of pesticides leaching in order to identify the most risk-prone areas, but also readily transposable for a global decision support system. In contrast to the approach of MetaPEARL calibration used until now, taking into account soil morphology through soil horizons (layers) types explains about 80% of the spatial variability of pesticide concentrations obtained from the complete original GeoPEARL model. The third research question is to take into account the spatial variability of input variables within the same soil typological unit using stochastic simulations to assess the uncertainty associated with deterministic simulations (taking into account average values by soil type for the input variables at the regional scale) obtained from MetaPEARL. The random spread of soil characteristics variability leads to a very significant spreading of simulated pesticide concentrations. Moreover, we obtain values of 80th spatial probabilistic percentile higher than those obtained from the deterministic approach. Consequently, for a risk mapping designed to aid decision-making tools, the probabilistic approach should be used since it allows, by taking into account the spatial variability of the model input parameters, to obtain more realistic concentrations of leached pesticides.

In the aftermaths of the Cold War, the International Community adopts the objective of Education for All. Indeed, Education appears as a tool of social and economical development worldwide and supports global development. Education allows individuals to take part effectively and actively in the collective life of the society they belong to. Soon after the adoption of this objective, the war is identified as the major obstacle in the fulfillment of this objective of Education for All. The international stakeholders takes their stand in favor of the continuation of the schooling during protracted crisis and wars, what lead to the education in emergency. This education has to spread values, behaviors and attitudes that attack the roots of the conflict. An objective of peace building and conflict prevention is since added to education. In a same temporality, the Kosovo Albanians were submitted to a segregationist policy headed by the Government of Milosevic, the Republika Srpska. This Government aims to make the Kosovo an unmixed territory, inhabited only by Serbs. Kosovo Albanians are rejected from all the state positions and state-owned entreprises. Education appears as a convergent point of the communities antagonisms and a critical issue between Serbs and Albanians in Kosovo. The freedom of being educated in their mother tongue is denied to the Kosovo Albanians through the policy of the Republika Srpska. The Kosovo Albanians react in setting up a parallel education system, in which virtually all the Albanian children intend school from 1992 to 1998. This parallel education system can be seen as a strong element of the pacific resistance of the Kosovo Albanians and a factor of social strength. This parallel educational system collapsed in 1998 due to the war situation in Kosovo. During this internal armed conflict, violations of the Law of war and of the International humanitarian Law are so huge that Nato intervenes through a military air campaign. This military intervention is immediately followed by a civil administration mission, the Unmik, whose mandate is to normalize the life of the inhabitants of Kosovo. Unmik is a restorative model not dedicated to the war victims. The restorative aspects for victims can be seen in the reinstallation of the Kosovo Albanians as full-right citizens. When arriving in Kosovo, Unmik faces two systems of education. Unmik's first objective is to rebuild a unified education system in Kosovo. Along with objectives of democratization and modernization of a system inherited from a communist model. This intervention is an opportunity to promote and support peace education and conflict prevention through education, in echo with the latest international provisions on education. To achieve this objective of peace building and conflict prevention through education, the pedagogical methods, the contents of teaching and the structure of the education system has to be reformed and restructured. My work aims to explore the reconstruction process of the education system in Kosovo and the operationalization of the provisions that turn education as a tool of peace and conflict prevention, in the primaries schools of Prishtina. My approach is qualitative, inspired by the systemic perspective. The aim of this research is not to evaluate the results of the new Kosovo education system. This work is designed to explore the process of this post-war reconstruction, and to understand how international provisions come within this process and are effectively implemented in the primaries schools. The research question is on the present survival and effectiveness of these provisions in the primaries schools of Prishtina. This work was done first by a confrontation between a corpus of international normative texts on education and a legislative and normative corpus of local texts on education. This first step was dedicated to the selection of the special provisions relative to education as a tool of peace building. It appears that Civic Education and History are the two main teachings in the broadcasting of elements that helps to create a social cohesion. The tools for the data collection were based on the elements selected through this bibliographical research, as the analysis table of the empirical datas. Standardized questionnaires has been completed by teachers in History and Civic Education, and by Directors of the primaries school of Prishtina. Interviews with Kosovo people who were involved in the rebuilding process of the education system were carried out. The results highlights that International Community massively imposed this new model of education, what is visible through the identical profiles of all the schools that participated to the research. It appears that such an intervention is limited by the specificities and the reality of the Kosovo, which were not taken into consideration enough to make this new education system fit well to the very specific aspects of Kosovo. The question of the adaptability of such a model, created out of the Kosovo and without sufficient rely on the local population, is raised through this study. Indeed, the actual education system in Prishtina faces huge challenges in terms of equipment, funding and space. These challenges were not met by the Unmik's work and are still existing, when the legislative and normative frame is continually developed in respect of the international developments in the matter. Indeed, fundamental education has to be a way to get competencies leading to a democratic citizenship, instead of a way to acquire only school basic knowledge. The potential in peace building and conflict prevention of the present education system in Kosovo is not able to be fully developed. If all the international provisions are well translated into the local provisions and operationalized in the primaries schools, the system has reached its limits and is not able to overcome its numerous challenges. Moreover, there is still two independent systems of education in Kosovo, and the education dedicated to the peace building and conflict prevention reaches only children intended schools of the official system. Serbs children are still educated in the same perspective than during the war. In a long terme perspective, the Kosovo education system will not be able to produce the expected outcomes. This contains risks of resurgence of the conflict. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 39 (8 ULg)

JMI twitter feed
- Sunday 23 November @tweetWLS Christopher Bowers-Broadbent concert. Tickets and details here: http://t.co/8pWo4iXtZ3 http://t.co/mqRAX7TSPZ
- Our thanks to @UKJewishFilm &the excellent team @BarbicanCentre for a brilliant film&event with our Artistic Director @sophiesolomon &band
The JMI actively promotes the work of one composer in particular, Ernest Bloch, through our partnership with the Bloch Society.
We are particularly interested in the work of contemporary composers such as Phillip Glass and Steve Reich and the ways in which their Jewishness serves as a source of creative inspiration for these artists. The JMI also focuses on music on Jewish themes by non-Jewish composers and how music has been the medium of cultural, religious and philosophical dialogue since the Enlightenment.
JMI endeavors to explore and represent as many different aspects of classical music in its academic and performance programmes and we have a particular remit to support contemporary composers in the creation of new Jewish music. Most recently, the JMI commissioned Israeli composer Menachem Wiesenberg to compose his 'Suite Concertante for Klezmer & Classical Violins' for Sophie Solomon and Dora Schwarzberg which received its UK premiere with the Yehudi Menuhin School Orchestra and its Israeli premier with the Israel Sinfonietta.

Bears' secondary eager to see if tight calls carry into regular season
BY PATRICK FINLEY Staff Reporter August 13, 2014 10:08PM
Updated: August 14, 2014 3:24PM
After the first week of preseason games, assistant coach Chris Harris counted up the damage — 53 defensive-holding calls, 27 illegal-contact flags and 15 defensive-pass-interference penalties — and relayed the figures to the Bears' defensive backs.
Not surprisingly, they were annoyed by the league's "points of emphasis" in flagging those violations.
"It's a passing league," cornerback Tim Jennings said, shaking his head. "It's getting out of hand."
Blame the Seahawks, who last season used the league's most physical cover unit — making contact more than five yards from scrimmage — to embarrass Peyton Manning's Broncos in the Super Bowl.
Or, for the offensive-minded, credit the NFL for enforcing a rule on the books.
"They want to see touchdowns, obviously," safety Chris Conte said.
There have been nine more illegal-contact penalties and 17 more defensive-holding penalties called already than in all of the 2013 preseason.
"No one wants to see a good defensive game of 3-0, 6-0 anymore," cornerback Kelvin Hayden bemoaned.
The Bears were flagged 14 times in the exhibition opener, but not for defensive holding, illegal contact or pass interference.
"We have very little jersey-grabbing overall," coach Marc Trestman said. "In the two years I've been here, our DBs do an excellent job of covering without grabbing."
Trestman said the Bears will wait and see if the regular season is officiated as tightly as the preseason.
That's the far more pertinent question.
"Who knows?" Conte said. "You can't control what the refs do. You just have to play within the rules."
Coaches have alerted defensive backs when they grab jerseys in practice.
"It's gonna be tough, but we have to play within the rules," safety Ryan Mundy said. "It's an extremely difficult rule to abide by, especially in this day and age of football where they spread you out and try to take advantage of matchups."
Mundy wasn't sure whether the league would enforce the rules as strictly in the regular season but said the Bears have to assume it will.
"Anytime the league wants to make a statement, they make a statement," Mundy said. "They go all-in."
Whether defenders like it or not.
"Once the [regular-season] games come along, you've got to let us play," Jennings said. "If it doesn't affect the game, you've got to let it go."

LOS ANGELES,CA. (Catholic Online) - Orthodox Christians are thankful and grateful for the vocal and passionate public stance of Catholic Bishops and Catholic leaders who categorically oppose Obama's HHS healthcare mandate. Your courage in defending our constitutionally protected religious liberty is making us stronger. Your public and uncompromising witness to Christian principles and your passionate advocacy in protecting the life of the unborn is giving us hope.
We embrace and support you as brothers in Christ and co-workers for righteousness. As Orthodox Metropolitan Jonah stood side-by-side with Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan in praying together at this year's March for Life , we stand in solidarity with you in demanding the repeal of the HHS mandate and in defense of the religious liberty of all Americans.
It's impressive and inspiring to witness the speed and conviction with which Catholic Bishops and other Catholic organizations responded to the new HHS rule and denounced it as unconstitutional and immoral from the start. On the same day the Obama administration made the announcement, January 20, 2012, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) issued a press release declaring it unconscionable and a blatant violation of religious liberty.
"To force American citizens to choose between violating their consciences and forgoing their healthcare is literally unconscionable. It is as much an attack on access to health care as on religious freedom. Historically this represents a challenge and a compromise of our religious liberty," powerfully stated then cardinal-designate Timothy Dolan, archbishop of New York and president of the USCCB. In a video message recorded by the archbishop he sharply criticized the White House: "Never before has the federal government forced individuals and organizations to go out into the marketplace and buy a product that violates their conscience. This shouldn't happen in a land where free exercise of religion ranks first in the Bill of Rights."
Cardinal Dolan was not alone in the immediate and unequivocal public condemnation of the HHS mandate. Other Catholic leaders also spoke out against it. "This is nothing less than a direct attack on religion and First Amendment rights," said Franciscan Sister Jane Marie Klein , chairperson of the board at Franciscan Alliance, Inc., a system of 13 Catholic hospitals. "I have hundreds of employees who will be upset and confused by this edict." Patrick J. Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society, a Catholic university watchdog group, denounced the "cult of choice" agenda of the Obama administration. "The White House has sold the First Amendment for a few pennies of political support from the ACLU and the abortion lobby," he said.
More Catholic Bishops joined the chorus of opposition very quickly. Addressing the opening Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on the evening of January 22, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, archbishop of Galveston-Houston and chairman of the USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, excoriated the HHS rule. "Never before in our US History has the Federal Government forced citizens to directly purchase what violates our beliefs. At issue here as our President of the Conference stated it this past Friday, is the survival of a cornerstone constitutionally protected freedom that ensures respect for conscience and religious liberty," proclaimed Cardinal DiNardo.
By January 25, Bishop Thomas Olmsted of Phoenix, Arizona, publicly denounced the "severe assault on religious liberty" and bravely asked Christians in his dioceses to consider civil disobedience rather than violate the Church's teachings. In his open letter, read aloud in Catholic parishes across the Phoenix diocese, Bishop Olmstead criticized the Obama administration for casting "aside the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States, denying to Catholics our Nation's first and most fundamental freedom, that of religious liberty," and called on the faithful to refuse to comply with the unjust law.
"We cannot - we will not - comply with this unjust law. People of faith cannot be made second class citizens. . Our parents and grandparents did not come to these shores to help build America's cities and towns, its infrastructure and institutions, its enterprise and culture, only to have their posterity stripped of their God given rights."
Similar public statements containing the same calls for civil disobedience and uncompromising stance for Christian moral teaching were also issued by Archbishop Dennis Schnurr of Cincinnati and Bishop David Ricken of Green Bay within days of each other. More Catholic Bishops soon followed with their own individual letters denouncing the oppressive HHS edict.
The tide of Catholic opposition and criticism has grown and intensified since January. To date all 181 Catholic Bishops who head diocese in America (100% of them) have spoken out and denounced Obama's HHS mandate. These bishops not only issued public statements condemning the mandate, but many of them read their statements at diocesan Masses or included them in parish bulletins on Sunday. What an amazing public witness for Christ and righteousness!
Especially encouraging and inspiring is Cardinal Timothy Dolan's fearless and consistent moral leadership in this crisis. He continues to speak clearly and with authority on the HHS mandate: "This is not just about contraception, abortion-causing drugs, and sterilization-although all should recognize the injustices involved in making them part of a universal mandated health care program. It is not about Republicans or Democrats, conservatives or liberals. It is about people of faith. This is first and foremost a matter of religious liberty for all."
His unwavering defense of the Christian faith and the religious liberties of all Americans shines forth in his latest letter, co-signed by Bishop William Lori, addressed to his brother Bishops. "We cannot rest when faced with so grave a threat to the religious liberty for which our parents and grandparents fought. In this moment in history we must work diligently to preserve religious liberty and to remove all threats to the practice of our faith in the public square. . President Obama should rescind the mandate, or at the very least, provide full and effective measures to protect religious liberty and conscience," writes Cardinal Dolan. This is indeed legitimate Christian authority and faithful servant leadership as reflected in the lives of the Apostles and Disciples of Christ and embodied in the Scriptures!
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Orthodox Christians recognize the importance and significance of the battle before us. We support your steadfast defense of the sanctity of life and the moral teaching of the Christian faith. We continue to pray for all the faithful and courageous Catholic Bishops fighting to protect all our religious liberties. May our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to bless, protect, and guide them in the holy and worthy work they're doing on behalf of all Americans, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prep football: Golden Gate blows out Mariner
CAPE CORAL - Golden Gate stayed in the driver's seat from start to finish as the Titans beat the Mariner Tritons 48-14 in a non-district game Friday night in Cape Coral.
Golden Gate (3-3) pounded out 253 yards on the ground against Mariner (0-8). The Tritons, on the other hand, struggled to find consistency on offense, and untimely turnovers kept them from establishing any momentum.
Mariner pulled within striking distance, behind 28-14 midway through the third quarter, but Golden Gate scored 20 unanswered points and rode that strong running game to the win.
Key moment: Down just 14-0 late in the 2nd quarter, Mariner QB Jonah Markovits fumbled away possession. It was the second turnover deep in Titans territory, after a TO on downs halted Mariner's first series of the game at the Golden Gate 15.
Top performer: Golden Gate RB Isaiah D'Haiti rushed 11 times for 69 yards and 4 TDs.
Notable stats: Titans RB Calerb D'Haiti led all rushers in yardage with 118 and carries with 19.
In their words: "We were able to move the ball on the ground tonight," Golden Gate coach Mike DiGrigoli said. "That was our goal."
Next game: Lely at Golden Gate, Friday, Oct. 18, 7 p.m.
First quarter
GG — I. D'Haiti 2 run (kick failed), 0:10
Second quarter
GG — I. D'Haiti 10 run (Condominia run), 5:30
GG — Anderson 47 pass from Condominia (kick failed), 1:09
Third quarter
M — Ferdinand 15 pass from Markovits (kick blocked), 9:27
GG — Enyart 15 pass from Condominia (Condominia run), 8:06
M — Ferdinand 42 pass from Markovits (Williams pass from Markovits), 6:31
GG — I. D'Haiti 1 run (Romelus kick), 1:34
Fourth quarter
GG — C. D'Haiti 2 run (Romelus kick), 10:07
GG — I. D'Haiti 18 run (kick failed), 4:26
