Design and development of a low temperature, inductance based high frequency ac susceptometer

We report on the development of an induction based low temperature high frequency ac susceptometer capable of measuring at frequencies up to 3.5 MHz and at temperatures between 2 K and 300 K. Careful balancing of the detection coils and calibration have allowed a sample magnetic moment resolution of $5\times10^{-10} Am^2$ at 1 MHz. We will discuss the design and characterization of the susceptometer, and explain the calibration process. We also include some example measurements on the spin ice material CdEr$_2$S$_4$ and iron oxide based nanoparticles to illustrate functionality

From scandal to monastic penance: a reconciliatory manuscript from the early twelfth-century abbey of St. Laurent in Liège

An important element of monastic penance and conflict resolution was its repetitive, almost cyclical nature. The manuscripts that were used during these performances often proceed implicitly, which makes them difficult to contextualize and understand. This article considers a possible example of such "hidden" reconciliatory discourse in a manuscript that was produced for the congregation of St. Laurent in Liege around the turn of the eleventh century: Brussels, Royal Library 9361-9367. It examines the sin of pride in monastic dignitaries, discusses the best way to atone for it, and provides tools for the penitent to start living a more virtuous life in the future. The surviving evidence suggests that this manuscript was produced in reaction to the deeds of abbot Berenger, whose actions in 1095 were considered scandalous by contemporaries because he had led his monks into confusion and sin. The article shows how the combination of texts in this manuscript takes on a different meaning because of these politically charged circumstances, and argues that the St. Laurent manuscript was a discreet but methodical way to end the resulting estrangement between Berenger and his monks. In this interpretation, Brussels RL 9361-9367 is a rare and highly relevant testimony to the ways in which monks in the early twelfth century dealt with psychological and social tensions in the wake of an intra-group conflict

The good Voice -Terror Witnessing: From Time of War to Time of Healing

The land of Israel is currently navigating challenging and distressing times. The abrupt shift from the celebratory high holidays to the disturbing terror acts of Hamas has deeply affected a new, contemporary generation. This generation, accustomed to a strong sense of security and the comfort of life in the Jewish homeland, had hoped that any future conflict would involve a \u27clean\u27 cyber war fought from the safety of their own living rooms The national memory, intertwined with the Yom Kippur War and the captives, revives a national trauma. The belief in our strength and the feeling that we would never again witness horrendous scenes shatters and reveals wounds that have yet to heal. Revisiting a time of warfare with Iron Swords and tanks, images of Jews suffering in inhumane conditions, not tolerated for their Judaism, even within their own land, is unsettling. The intensity of cruelty, the loss of basic moral principles, the slaughter of women, children, and infants, and scenes of horror—these transcend beyond the terrifying wounds inflicted upon us, causing severe disruptions in our perceptions and affects In these days, we are all witnesses to terror and affected by it in one way or another. Within the framework of this article, I aim to depict the concept of ‘terror witnessing’, outline this experience in general terms, and propose appropriate intervention principles. In doing so, I will address the unique highlights of our current situation due to terror witnessing as an entire nation. This is to contribute, to the rapidly accumulating body of knowledge for the intervention and treatment of the numerous victims of the attack and war drawing from my research and therapeutic experiences

The Evolution of Therapists: Transitioning to Combat Supporters – Treating Victims of Terrorism

Introduction This article was written during the harrowing and relentless turmoil of the \u27Iron Swords\u27 war that engulfed the nation of Israel. This article aims to discuss ways of treating victims of terrorism: witnesses, wounded, and bereaved. This includes injured non-uniform-wearing soldiers, soldiers exposed to terror in direct combat against the enemy, special units of the Israel Defense Force (IDF), ZAKA (Disaster Victim Identification Organization) personnel, and the Forensic Identification Department personnel dealing with the alarming consequences of terrorism. The existence of various affected populations, as mentioned above, necessitates professionals—psychologists, social workers, as well as parents and families in constant contact with the victims who are exposed to complex content — and therefore acknowledge and specialize in multiple roles that are not conventional for them. For instance, when therapists are required to support and provide therapeutic care for soldiers in the midst of combat. This article will address the stages of intervention for victims of terrorism, emphasizing the attempt to provide tangible tools for therapists and professional personnel in immediate contact with victims, civilians, and soldiers in combat or war zones. The focus will be on those accompanying victims in the initial stages and, subsequently, post-exposure to a terrorist event. Additionally, there will be consideration for civilian and combat witnesses, officials, wounded, and individuals who experienced loss and bereavement. The individuals mentioned above, civilians, soldiers, ZAKA personnel, etc., in this article will be referred to as witnesses and combatants due to their involvement in risky situations and combat. Key issues to be discussed in the article will include witnessing terror event(s) and the shared traumatic reality for therapists and patients, the complexities of post-trauma adaptation in therapy, specific demands on professionals treating combatants and civilians under terrorist attack, and the appropriate timing for their treatment. Furthermore, the discussion will include how combatants and civilians respond within the treatment space, as well as addressing recovery time during active combat. The author extends sincere gratitude to Dr. Hilla Lee Delorme for her invaluable assistance in translating this manuscript from its original Hebrew version

Trypanosomiase humaine africaine : étude d'un score de présomption de diagnostic au Congo

Une enquête cas-témoins a été réalisée au Congo afin de définir une grille de score de présomption de la maladie du sommeil à #T.b. gambiense$, basée sur une sélection de critères cliniques et épidémiologiques de la trypanosomiase, utilisable par les structures sanitaires périphériques. L'enquête a été réalisée sur 163 cas et 326 témoins. Les signes cliniques et les symptômes retenus sont :fièvre, céphalées, prurit et lésions de grattage, diarrhée, oedèmes, adénopathies cervicales, troubles du sommeil, troubles de l'appétit, troubles sexuels, psychisme, signes neurologiques et autres troubles cliniques mineurs. Les autres critères retenus sont les antécédents de trypanosomiase humaine africaine (THA) et l'existence d'un cheptel dans la concession. L'analyse des résultats confirme qu'il n'existe pas de critère ou groupe de critères pathognomoniques. Aucun des critères sélectionnés n'est suffisamment discriminant pour permettre une sélection des trypanosomés parmi les consultants. Une grille de score de présomption semble donc de peu d'utilité au niveau périphérique; ceci est d'autant plus vrai si l'on considère l'augmentation de la charge de travail. Le faible pouvoir discriminant des signes cliniques et des symptômes ainsi que des autres paramètres de la trypanosomiase africaine met en évidence la difficulté de mise en place d'une stratégie d'intégration efficiente en tant qu'outil diagnostique précoce.

Harry Potter en latin

En 2003 et en 2007 ont été publiées les traductions latines des deux premiers tomes de Harry Potter de Joanne Kathleen Rowling : Harry Potter à l’école des sorciers et Harry Potter et la chambre des secrets . Sans doute ne faut-il pas accorder à ces traductions une importance disproportionnée. Ce ne sont certainement pas elles qui ont créé le succès de Harry Potter, elles ne font que l’accompagner ; et bien qu’on ne puisse pas les réduire à cette seule caractéristique, ce sont aussi des produ..

La réception des Synonyma d’Isidore de Séville aux XIVe-XVIe siècles

The Synonyma of Isidore of Seville enjoyed an exceptional success in the late Middle Ages. This success lasted until the years 1560-1570 and was particularly important in German Europe. The analysis of the content of the manuscripts and of the literary posterity suggests that theSynonyma were seen principally as an ascetic and spiritual book: this probably explains the popularity of this work at the end of the Middle Ages.Les Synonyma d’Isidore de Séville connurent un succès exceptionnel durant le Moyen Âge tardif.
