Mille répliques, mille possibles
No full textDans « Mille répliques, mille possibles », Paul Pourveur propose une réflexion prospective sur les possibilités ouvertes au théâtre aujourd’hui à partir d’une réflexion sur Milles répliques, agencement de propositions, choses vues, lues ou entendues, à dire, à monter, à mettre en œuvre librement. Ce cybertexte, composé de fragments, est recomposé par chaque lecteur internaute. Cette narration nomadique, qui épouse ainsi le mouvement d’une navigation sur internet, interroge le statut de l’auteur ainsi que le statut du texte, interrogations centrales dans le théâtre contemporain. Enfin, par la question de sa mise en spectacle, Mille répliques constitue une piste de recherche.In the article " Mille répliques, mille possibles " (A Thousand Replicas, A Thousand Possibilities), Paul Pourveur offers a prospective analysis of the possibilities available to the theatre today, drawing on a study of Milles répliques (A Thousand Replicas), an assemblage of proposals, things seen, read or heard, to be said, to be staged, and to be performed freely. Each Internet reader recompose This cybertext, composed of fragments, is recomposed by each Internet reader. The nomadic narrative, which mirrors the movement of an internet navigation, questions the status of the author and the status of the text, both central questions in contemporary theatre. Lastly, through the question of its staging, Mille répliques represents an interesting avenue of research

Review Of No Intermissions: The Life Of Agnes De Mille By C. Easton
No full textBiographer Carol Easton (Jacqueline du Pre, CH, Oct\u2790; The Search for Sam Goldwyn, CH, Jul\u2776; and Straight Ahead: The Story of Stan Kenton, CH, Feb\u2774) brings a practiced researcher\u27s skills to this work on de Mille. Beginning with brief but incisive descriptions of de Mille\u27s grandparents and taking the reader through de Mille\u27s death in 1993, Easton builds a multifaceted portrait of her subject. The author met de Mille and began research four years before de Mille\u27s death. She draws on an impressive number and variety of sources, ranging from de Mille herself to family members, friends, and colleagues with whom the choreographer/dancer/author worked during the course of a lengthy, illustrious, and varied career. The book knits together de Mille\u27s personal and professional worlds, providing a comprehensive introduction to this legendary American. Since Easton is not a dancer or a dance writer, dance devotees and scholars may find her patchwork approach frustrating at times. However, Easton includes sufficient new information to warrant recommending that dancers read this book in conjunction with de Mille\u27s own writing on her life and art. Numerous black-and-white photos, an adequate bibliography, a danceography, and source notes complete the volume. All readers
Soil carbon 4 per mille
No full textThe ‘4 per mille Soils for Food Security and Climate’ was launched at the COP21 with an aspiration to increase global soil organic matter stocks by 4 per 1000 (or 0.4 %) per year as a compensation for the global emissions of greenhouse gases by anthropogenic sources. This paper surveyed the soil organic carbon (SOC) stock estimates and sequestration potentials from 20 regions in the world (New Zealand, Chile, South Africa, Australia, Tanzania, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, India, China Taiwan, South Korea, China Mainland, United States of America, France, Canada, Belgium, England & Wales, Ireland, Scotland, and Russia). We asked whether the 4 per mille initiative is feasible for the region. The outcomes highlight region specific efforts and scopes for soil carbon sequestration. Reported soil C sequestration rates globally show that under best management practices, 4 per mille or even higher sequestration rates can be accomplished. High C sequestration rates (up to 10 per mille) can be achieved for soils with low initial SOC stock (topsoil less than 30 t C ha− 1), and at the first twenty years after implementation of best management practices. In addition, areas which have reached equilibrium will not be able to further increase their sequestration. We found that most studies on SOC sequestration only consider topsoil (up to 0.3 m depth), as it is considered to be most affected by management techniques. The 4 per mille number was based on a blanket calculation of the whole global soil profile C stock, however the potential to increase SOC is mostly on managed agricultural lands. If we consider 4 per mille in the top 1m of global agricultural soils, SOC sequestration is between 2-3 Gt C year− 1, which effectively offset 20–35% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. As a strategy for climate change mitigation, soil carbon sequestration buys time over the next ten to twenty years while other effective sequestration and low carbon technologies become viable. The challenge for cropping farmers is to find disruptive technologies that will further improve soil condition and deliver increased soil carbon. Progress in 4 per mille requires collaboration and communication between scientists, farmers, policy makers, and marketeers. © 2017 The Author

263-OR: Counterregulatory Responses to Hypoglycemia in Totally Pancreatectomized Patients
No full textWe have previously shown that totally pancreatectomized (PX) patients secrete substantial amounts of glucagon (most likely from enteroendocrine cells) during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) whereas these patients suppress circulating glucagon concentrations during intravenous glucose infusions. Here, we investigated the effect of insulin-induced hypoglycemia on extrapancreatic glucagon secretion and other counterregulatory factors in PX patients and in healthy controls (CTRLs). On two separate days, 12 PX patients (age 65.5±5.5 [mean±SD] years; BMI: 23.8±3.6 kg/m2) and 12 matched, healthy CTRLs (age 64.8±6.5 years; BMI: 24.5±2.9 kg/m2) underwent 1) a 50-g OGTT with 1.5 g acetaminophen (for assessment of gastric emptying) and 2) an insulin-induced hypoglycemic clamp followed by a 30-minute recovery period and a subsequent 50-g OGTT with acetaminophen. Blood was intermittently sampled throughout both experimental days. Plasma glucagon responses to OGTT (as assessed by baseline-subtracted area under curve) were greater in PX patients compared to CTRLs (386±150 vs. -340±50 min×pmol/l [mean±SEM], P=0.0001). During the hypoglycemic clamp, PX patients did not increase plasma glucagon concentrations and, thus, glucagon responses to hypoglycemia were higher in CTRLs (903±104 vs. -21±16 min×pmol/l, P<0.001). Hypoglycemia-induced responses of catecholamines, growth hormone and cortisol were similar in the two groups. Gastric emptying was unaffected by hypoglycemia in CTRLs but was decelerated by hypoglycemia in PX patients. We conclude that 1) insulin-induced hypoglycemia, which powerfully stimulates glucagon secretion in CTRLs, does not stimulate extrapancreatic glucagon secretion in PX patients; 2) counterregulatory responses of catecholamines, growth hormone and cortisol were intact in PX patients, but hypoglycemia decelerated gastric emptying in these patients. This provides mechanistic insight into the high risk of hypoglycemia in PX patients
Drug-induced liver injury:a cohort study on patients referred to the Danish transplant center over a five year period
No full textOBJECTIVE: The idiosyncratic subtype of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a rare reaction to medical treatment that in severe cases can lead to acute liver failure and death. The aim of this study was to describe the presentation and outcome of DILI and to identify potential predictive factors of poor outcome.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We identified all patients diagnosed with DILI at the Department of Hepatology, Rigshospitalet, from March 2007 to November 2012. The following parameters were registered from patient files: drug causing DILI, symptoms, comorbidity, biochemistry, treatment and outcome.RESULTS: Of 43 patients, 25 (58%) were female with a mean age of 54 years. The two most frequent causes of DILI were Disulfiram (30%) and antibiotics (19%). The most common symptoms were jaundice, nausea, fatigue and gastrointestinal discomfort. At the time of admission, the most frequent biochemical findings included bilirubin elevated to above 3.2 × ULN, ALT elevated to above 9 × ULN in 86%, INR above 1.4 in 70%. Twenty two patients needed treatment in the liver intensive care unit. Fifteen patients developed acute liver failure with a severe outcome. Six patients were liver transplanted and nine patients died. Jaundice, a moderately elevated bilirubin level or INR at presentation was predictive of severe outcome.CONCLUSION: In this retrospective study, 35% of patients with DILI developed severe acute liver failure and were either liver transplanted or died. Our results underline that DILI may be severe and run a fatal course, and that bilirubin and INR levels may predict poor outcome.</p

ABSTRACT:In April 2013 an Italian political party proposed a referendum (as stated in the article 75 of Italian Constitution) to abolish part of the article 47 of the222/1985 Act concerning the public funding to religious denominations with the 0.008 of the income tax (called IRPEF). According to this law all Italian taxpayers can participate to a sort of ‘poll’ to allocate 0.008 of their income tax (IRPEF) to the either the Catholic Church or the State by signing under one of the other in the tax form. The entire fund (i.e. the overall amount of 0,008 of the IRPEF) will then be divided proportionally amongst the choices selected by the tax payer who signed to give 0.008 of their taxes to specific institutions (e.g. the Catholic Church, the State, etc). In doing so, even the tax payers who did not choose any denomination will end up funding one according to the selection made by those who did sign to give their taxes to a religious group or to the State. In this essay the Author analyses some juridical aspects of that particular funding system which represents an important feature of the discipline regulating the relationship between State and Churches, including religious denominations other than Catholicism
