Neurocognition of the production and of the processing of complex morphosyntactic structures in French L1 and L2
No full textAvec ce travail de thèse, nous avons examiné les mécanismes neurocognitifs et les stratégies de production, dans le cas du traitement et de la production d’un exemple de complexité linguistique, à savoir le subjonctif présent en français, adoptés par les francophones natifs et par les bilingues italien-français et chinois-français. Nous avons utilisé deux techniques expérimentales : (1) l’électroencéphalographie (EEG) et (2) des tests de production (répétition de phrases et production ciblée). L’objectif a été de déterminer l’impact du niveau de maîtrise ainsi que la similarité-différence entre L1-L2, en réception et production, lors du traitement et de la production du subjonctif présent en français. Pour ce faire, nous avons mené deux expériences : dans l’Expérience 1, en réception, nous avons identifié les marqueurs neurophysiologiques impliqués dans le traitement du subjonctif présent dans le cas des locuteurs natifs du français et dans le cas des deux groupes de bilingues. Dans l’Expérience 2, en production, nous avons analysé les stratégies de répétition et de production de structures syntaxiques impliquant le mode verbal subjonctif présent. …/…Les résultats ont montré que les bilingues mettent à l’œuvre un traitement différent des locuteurs natifs soulignant des mécanismes neurocognitifs dépendant, d’un côté, du niveau de maîtrise en français mais aussi et surtout, de l’autre côté, de la similitude-distance entre la L1 des apprenants et le français L2. Plus précisément, grâce à l’Expérience 1, dans le cas de natifs francophones, nous avons trouvé un pattern ERP (L)AN/P600, dans le cas des bilingues italophones les résultats ont fait état d’un pattern ERP P3b et d’un autre pattern P600 fronto-central, dans les cas des bilingues avancés. En ce qui concerne les bilingues sinophones, nous avons trouvé un pattern N400-like et un P600-like, ce dernier étant moins représenté parmi les participants. …/…Les résultats de l’Expérience 2 montrent que les structures syntaxiques au subjonctif, produites par les Italophones, relèvent des problèmes de production et d’emploi du mode en question, alors que dans le cas des Sinophones, les structures syntaxiques indiquent des stratégies de production avec non seulement des anomalies relevant de l’emploi du mode mais aussi des anomalies relevant de la structuration syntaxique des phrases. Cette constatation nous suggère un fort impact de la L1 des apprenants. Pour conclure, nos résultats suggèrent donc que dans le cas de certaines structures morphosyntaxiques complexes de la L2, l’impact de la similitude-distance typologique entre L1-L2 est plus important que le niveau de maîtrise.With this thesis, we examined the neurocognitive mechanisms and the production strategies, in the case of the processing and production of an example of linguistic complexity, namely the present subjunctive in French, adopted by native speakers of French and by Italian-French and Chinese-French bilinguals. We used two experimental behavioural measurement techniques: (1) electroencephalography (EEG) and (2) production tests (sentence repetition and targeted production). The aim was to determine the impact of proficiency level and the similarity-difference between L1-L2, in reception and in production, of the present of the French subjunctive. To this end, we conducted two experiments. In Experiment 1, in reception, using the morphosyntactic violation paradigm, we identified the neurophysiological markers involved in processing the present subjunctive in the case of native speakers of French and in the case of the two groups of bilinguals. In Experiment 2, in production, we analysed strategies for repeating and producing syntactic structures involving the present subjunctive verbal mode. …/…The results showed that bilinguals process the subjunctive differently from native speakers, highlighting neurocognitive mechanisms that depend both on the level of proficiency in French and, above all, on the similarity-distance between the learners' L1 and French L2. More precisely, for native speakers of French, we found a complex ERP pattern (L)AN/P600, in the case of Italian-French bilinguals we found an P3b and P600 fronto-central pattern, the last one only for high-advanced bilinguals. For the Chinese-French bilinguals, we found an N400-like and P600-like pattern, the last one being less representative among participants. The results of Experiment 2 show that the subjunctive syntactic structures produced by Italian learners of French L2 reflect problems of production and use of the mode in question, whereas in the case of Sinophones, the syntactic structures indicate production strategies with not only anomalies relating to the use of the mode, but also anomalies relating to the syntactic structuring of the sentences. This finding suggests a strong impact of learners' L1. In conclusion, our results suggest that in the case of certain complex L2 morphosyntactic structures, the impact of typological similarity-distance between L1 and L2 is more important than the level of mastery

The reception of Qoheleth in a selection of rabbinic, patristic and nonconformist texts
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to examine the reception of the text of Qoheleth in a selection of rabbinic, patristic and nonconformist literature. The differences in the act of reading, reception and response to this text in discrete
Judaic and Christian locations is examined. The source texts that are considered are Qoheleth Rabbah, Targum Qoheleth, Gregory of Nyssa's homilies and Matthew Henry's exposition on Ecclesiastes. The thesis further investigates historical and theological experiential influences on the reception of Qoheleth as portrayed by the source texts. The text of Qoheleth and its history of interpretation, and the value of
examining the reception of the text by specific readers from a variety of contexts are discussed in the first chapter. In the consecutive chapters the reception of Qoheleth by each source text is examined individually. The historical and
theological contexts of each source text are described, including literary traditions and exegetical principles.
In the detailed examination of the source texts, the textual structural challenges that Qoheleth poses and how and why
they are responded to by the author(s) of the source texts are analysed. The final chapter compares and contrasts the main issues raised by the differing readings of Qoheleth, including the identity of Solomon and the view of God, and also, the differing contextual perspectives in which the reception process took place. Finally, a brief examination of a modem reader's (Michael V Fox') reception of Qoheleth is contrasted with that of earlier readers of the text. The manner in which the potential effects of Qoheleth are actualised and the process of meaning production varies between readers, being conditioned by their historical horizon
Efficacy and safety of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine during 18 months after vaccination : a phase 3 randomized, controlled trial in children and young infants at 11 African sites
No full textA malaria vaccine could be an important addition to current control strategies. We report the safety and vaccine efficacy (VE) of the RTS,S/AS01 vaccine during 18 mo following vaccination at 11 African sites with varying malaria transmission.; 6,537 infants aged 6-12 wk and 8,923 children aged 5-17 mo were randomized to receive three doses of RTS,S/AS01 or comparator vaccine. VE against clinical malaria in children during the 18 mo after vaccine dose 3 (per protocol) was 46% (95% CI 42% to 50%) (range 40% to 77%; VE, p>0.01 across all sites). VE during the 20 mo after vaccine dose 1 (intention to treat [ITT]) was 45% (95% CI 41% to 49%). VE against severe malaria, malaria hospitalization, and all-cause hospitalization was 34% (95% CI 15% to 48%), 41% (95% CI 30% to 50%), and 19% (95% CI 11% to 27%), respectively (ITT). VE against clinical malaria in infants was 27% (95% CI 20% to 32%, per protocol; 27% [95% CI 21% to 33%], ITT), with no significant protection against severe malaria, malaria hospitalization, or all-cause hospitalization. Post-vaccination anti-circumsporozoite antibody geometric mean titer varied from 348 to 787 EU/ml across sites in children and from 117 to 335 EU/ml in infants (per protocol). VE waned over time in both age categories (Schoenfeld residuals p>0.001). The number of clinical and severe malaria cases averted per 1,000 children vaccinated ranged across sites from 37 to 2,365 and from -1 to 49, respectively; corresponding ranges among infants were -10 to 1,402 and -13 to 37, respectively (ITT). Meningitis was reported as a serious adverse event in 16/5,949 and 1/2,974 children and in 9/4,358 and 3/2,179 infants in the RTS,S/AS01 and control groups, respectively.; RTS,S/AS01 prevented many cases of clinical and severe malaria over the 18 mo after vaccine dose 3, with the highest impact in areas with the greatest malaria incidence. VE was higher in children than in infants, but even at modest levels of VE, the number of malaria cases averted was substantial. RTS,S/AS01 could be an important addition to current malaria control in Africa
The Ascension of Jesus Christ: A Critical and Exegetical Study of the Ascension in Luke-Acts and in the Jewish and Christian Contexts
No full textThe aim of the present dissertation is to analyse and interpret the Ascension of Jesus as described in Luke-Acts, and to examine both the Jewish rapture traditions and the early Christian reception and interpretation of the Lukan accounts. In my research, I tried to explain how the Ascension event was shaped by Luke and the impact it had within the Christian Church of the first centuries.
The first chapter tackles the history of research on the Ascension and the proposed methodology. Following this, the second section of the thesis analyses the Jewish assumption (rapture) traditions found in both canonical and pseudepigraphal writings. The common elements between these traditions and the Ascension of Christ are observed in order to establish a certain dependence of the Ascension narrative on Jewish rapture accounts.
In the third chapter, I examine the two Ascension accounts in Luke-Acts (Lk 24:50-53; Acts 1:9-11) and aim to explain the apparent inconsistencies between them. Certain aspects, such as redundancy and variations, are discussed in detail in the third section of this chapter.
The fourth chapter focuses on the reception and interpretation of the Lukan Ascension narratives within the early Christian Church (the pre-Nicene period). Finally, a summary of the entire thesis and some final remarks are drawn in the conclusion of the present study.
Two excursuses relevant to this research are included in the appendices: the first on the Jewish Hekhalot literature and Merkabah mysticism; and the second examining the Ascension in the Gospels according to Mark (16:19-20 of the ‘longer ending’) and John (20:17)

Integrating Metabolomics, Genomics, and Disease Pathways in Age-Related Macular Degeneration: The EYE-RISK Consortium
No full textPurpose: The current study aimed to identify metabolites associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by performing the largest metabolome association analysis in AMD to date, as well as aiming to determine the effect of AMD-associated genetic variants on metabolite levels and investigate associations between the identified metabolites and activity of the complement system, one of the main AMD-associated disease pathways. Design: Case-control association analysis of metabolomics data. Participants: Five European cohorts consisting of 2267 AMD patients and 4266 control participants. Methods: Metabolomics was performed using a high-throughput proton nuclear magnetic resonance metabolomics platform, which allows quantification of 146 metabolite measurements and 79 derivative values. Metabolome–AMD associations were studied using univariate logistic regression analyses. The effect of 52 AMD-associated genetic variants on the identified metabolites was investigated using linear regression. In addition, associations between the identified metabolites and activity of the complement pathway (defined by the C3d-to-C3 ratio) were investigated using linear regression. Main Outcome Measures: Metabolites associated with AMD. Results: We identified 60 metabolites that were associated significantly with AMD, including increased levels of large and extra-large high-density lipoprotein (HDL) subclasses and decreased levels of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), amino acids, and citrate. Of 52 AMD-associated genetic variants, 7 variants were associated significantly with 34 of the identified metabolites. The strongest associations were identified for genetic variants located in or near genes involved in lipid metabolism (ABCA1, CETP, APOE, and LIPC) with metabolites belonging to the large and extra-large HDL subclasses. Also, 57 of 60 metabolites were associated significantly with complement activation levels, independent of AMD status. Increased large and extra-large HDL levels and decreased VLDL and amino acid levels were associated with increased complement activation. Conclusions: Lipoprotein levels were associated with AMD-associated genetic variants, whereas decreased essential amino acids may point to nutritional deficiencies in AMD. We observed strong associations between the vast majority of the AMD-associated metabolites and systemic complement activation levels, independent of AMD status. This may indicate biological interactions between the main AMD disease pathways and suggests that multiple pathways may need to be targeted simultaneously for successful treatment of AMD.</p
