Le pluralisme politique à l’épreuve de la vie privée : entre normes et pratiques

L’espace des relations interpersonnelles et privées, en tant qu’espace de politisation et d’expression des choix politiques, est peu connu. C’est à une meilleure connaissance du « citoyen privé » et de la « politisation intime » que cet article veut contribuer, en étudiant les ressemblances et les divergences idéologiques au sein du cercle des proches. Présentant les résultats d’une enquête quantitative et représentative de la population française inédite, « Famille, amour et politique », réalisée par le CEVIPOF, il examine la filiation, la conjugalité, et l’amitié et montre les interactions et les transactions qui opèrent entre le système des normes et le système des affects des individus. La famille apparaît plus hétérogame politiquement tandis que le couple et le cercle des amis sont plus homogames. Toutefois, c’est le niveau de politisation des individus qui est en dernière instance le plus déterminant. Une affiliation politique affirmée, et tout particulièrement à gauche, ainsi qu’un intérêt marqué pour la politique, renforcent toujours l’homogamie politique au sein du cercle des proches, dans les principes comme dans les faits. Plus largement, l’article ouvre une réflexion sur l’espace de la vie privée en tant que terrain d’expérience des conditions de la pluralité démocratique.Little is known of the role played by private interpersonal relationships in politicization and the expression of political choices. This article aims to improve our understanding of “private citizens” and “personal politicization” through a study of ideological similarities and divergences within family and friendship circles. The analysis, based on findings from an unprecedented quantitative representative French population survey by the CEVIPOF (Center for the study of French political life) entitled “Famille, amour et politique” [Family, love and politics], examines filiation, conjugality and friendship, showing the interactions and transactions that take place between the system of norms and the system of individual feelings. Families appear more heterogamous politically, while couples and friendship circles are more homogamous. However, individuals’ level of politicization is ultimately the most determinant factor. Having a strong political affiliation, particularly on the left of the political spectrum, and a strong interest in politics always strengthens intra-circle political homogamy in terms of both principles and actions. At a more general level, the article reflects on the sphere of private life as a field for the development of conditions of democratic pluralism

Обзор местных медикаментозных средств, применяемых в лечении гнойно-некротических осложнений синдрома диабетической стопы

The article provides  an overview of local medicines used in wounds’ treatment  for patients with purulo-necrotic complications of diabetic foot syndrome (DFS) and the requirements  for these preparations  at the present-day stage of wound healing process development and also the principles of monitoring  of  wounds of different etiology. The above material also allows you to get acquainted with the classification of local medicines groups, their brief characteristics with highlighting the peculiarity of each group, strengths and weaknesses, indications, contraindications and possible mistakes of their using. Here is given the detailed description of  main groups modern wound coverings based on alginates, hydrocolloids, hydrogels and histo-equivalent-bioplastic material of hyaluronic acid. There were made conclusions about the lack of information on the real clinical effectiveness of modern dressings and about  numerous and not systematic approaches for measuring the course of the wound healing process using various biological models. This explains the urgency to improving the modern diagnostic algorithm for measuring the course of the wound healing process and the need to develop an universal model that allows to identify its peculiarities and regularities, including efficiency assessment for local treatment of DFS purulo-necrotic complications.В статье представлены обзор местных медикаментозных средств, применяемых для лечения ран пациентов с гнойнонекротическими осложнениями синдрома диабетической стопы (СДС), требования, предъявляемые к этим препаратам на современном этапе развития учения о раневом процессе и принципах ведения ран различной этиологии. В приведенном материале можно также ознакомиться с классификацией групп местных медикаментозных средств, их краткой характеристикой с выделением особенностей каждой группы, сильных и слабых сторон, показаниями, противопоказаниями и возможными ошибками их использования. Дано подробное описание основных групп современных раневых покрытий на основе альгинатов, гидроколлоидов, гидрогелей и гистоэквивалент-биопластического материала гиалуроновой кислоты. Сделаны выводы о дефиците информации по поводу реальной клинической эффективности современных средств для местного медикаментозного лечения, о многочисленных и не всегда системных подходах к оценке течения раневого процесса с использованием различных биологических моделей. Этим объясняется актуальность совершенствования современного диагностического алгоритма при оценке течения раневого процесса и необходимость создания универсальной модели, позволяющей выявлять его особенности и закономерности, в том числе для оценки эффективности средств местного лечения гнойно-некротических осложнений СДС

On the polyamorphism of fullerite-based orientational glasses

The dilatometric investigation in the temperature range of 2-28K shows that a first-order polyamorphous transition occurs in the orientational glasses based on C60 doped with H2, D2 and Xe. A polyamorphous transition was also detected in C60 doped with Kr and He. It is observed that the hysteresis of thermal expansion caused by the polyamorphous transition (and, hence, the transition temperature) is essentially dependent on the type of doping gas. Both positive and negative contributions to the thermal expansion were observed in the low temperature phase of the glasses. The relaxation time of the negative contribution occurs to be much longer than that of the positive contribution. The positive contribution is found to be due to phonon and libron modes, whilst the negative contribution is attributed to tunneling states of the C60 molecules. The characteristic time of the phase transformation from the low-T phase to the high-T phase has been found for the C60-H2 system at 12K. A theoretical model is proposed to interpret these observed phenomena. The theoretical model proposed, includes a consideration of the nature of polyamorphism in glasses, as well as the thermodynamics and kinetics of the transition. A model of non-interacting tunneling states is used to explain the negative contribution to the thermal expansion. The experimental data obtained is considered within the framework of the theoretical model. From the theoretical model the order of magnitude of the polyamorphous transition temperature has been estimated. It is found that the late stage of the polyamorphous transformation is described well by the Kolmogorov law with an exponent of n=1. At this stage of the transformation, the two-dimensional phase boundary moves along the normal, and the nucleation is not important.Comment: 29 pages, 14 figures, added references, corrected typo

Environmental Citizenship in Primary Formal Education

The concept of Environmental Citizenship, as it has been developed in this project, calls for the development of specific awareness, attitudes, skills, behaviours and competences that need to be cultivated from early childhood for active civic participation. Primary formal education could provide opportunities for the achievement of these goals. In this chapter, we elaborate on how Environmental Citizenship, which provides the specifics of age and formal settings, could be approached and the educational strategies that could be recommended or avoided based on the existing literature. This chapter also provides an overview of the most important educational aims regarding the development of Environmental Citizenship in primary formal education. These include environmental sensitivity, a sense of justice, a basic understanding of ecological systems, necessary skills for the investigation of ecological and social phenomena, and action skills that relate to active participation in community issues. We suggest that successful educational interventions, integrated pedagogical approaches and key designing principles could promote Environmental Citizenship at primary schools. In addition, effective training and professional development programmes can equip teachers with the knowledge, values, skills and strategies necessary to implement Environmental Citizenship at this level

Conformation and self-association of peptide amphiphiles based on the KTTKS collagen sequence

Studying peptide amphiphiles (PAs), we investigate the influence of alkyl chain length on the aggregation behavior of the collagen-derived peptide KTTKS with applications ranging from antiwrinkle cosmetic creams to potential uses in regenerative medicine. We have studied synthetic peptides amphiphiles C14− KTTKS (myristoyl Lys-Thr-Thr-Lys-Ser) and C18−KTTKS(stearoyl-Lys-Thr Thr-Lys-Ser) to investigate in detail their physicochemical properties. It is presumed that the hydrophobic chain in these self-assembling peptide amphiphiles enhances peptide permeation across the skin compared to KTTKS alone. Subsequently Cn−KTTKS should act as a prodrug and release the peptide by enzymatic cleavage. Our results should be useful in the further development of molecules with collagen-stimulating activity
