    Draft version January 3, 2020 Typeset using LATEX default style in AASTeX61 SIZE AND SHAPE CONSTRAINTS OF (486958) ARROKOTH FROM STELLAR OCCULTATIONS Marc W. Buie,1 Simon B. Porter,1 et al. 1Southwest Research Institute 1050 Walnut St., Suite 300, Boulder, CO 80302 USA To be submitted to Astronomical Journal, Version 1.1, 2019/12/30 ABSTRACT We present the results from four stellar occultations by (486958) Arrokoth, the flyby target of the New Horizons extended mission. Three of the four efforts led to positive detections of the body, and all constrained the presence of rings and other debris, finding none. Twenty-five mobile stations were deployed for 2017 June 3 and augmented by fixed telescopes. There were no positive detections from this effort. The event on 2017 July 10 was observed by SOFIA with one very short chord. Twenty-four deployed stations on 2017 July 17 resulted in five chords that clearly showed a complicated shape consistent with a contact binary with rough dimensions of 20 by 30 km for the overall outline. A visible albedo of 10% was derived from these data. Twenty-two systems were deployed for the fourth event on 2018 Aug 4 and resulted in two chords. The combination of the occultation data and the flyby results provides a significant refinement of the rotation period, now estimated to be 15.9380 ± 0.0005 hours. The occultation data also provided high-precision astrometric constraints on the position of the object that were crucial for supporting the navigation for the New Horizons flyby. This work demonstrates an effective method for obtaining detailed size and shape information and probing for rings and dust on distant Kuiper Belt objects as well as being an important source of positional data that can aid in spacecraft navigation that is particularly useful for small and distant bodies.

  • Evaluation De L'efficacité Et De La Sécurité De La Sophrologie
    Evaluation de l’efficacité et de la sécurité de la Sophrologie Soumaya Ben Khedher Balbolia Aminata Ali Christine Hassler Caroline Barry Bruno Falissard Avec l'expertise critique de Daniel Annequin et Julien Nizard Décembre 2020 Résumé La sophrologie est une pratique psychocorporelle s’appuyant sur des techniques de relaxation associées à des exercices de respiration et à de l’évocation positive, créée et développée en 1960 par Alfonso Caycedo (1932-2017). Il existe aujourd’hui deux courants principaux en sophrologie : • Celui fidèle au fondateur considérant que la sophrologie, en tant que pédagogie de l’existence, ne se situe pas dans le champ de la thérapie mais dans celui de l’accompagnement et dont les bases théoriques ont évolué depuis la création de la sophrologie en 1960 jusqu’à 1995 avec la création de la Sophrologie Caycédienne, appelée Méthode Caycedo. • Et une sophrologie généraliste, dont les fondements théoriques se basent sur les principes la création originelle de la sophrologie (avant 1995) et se considérant comme thérapie. De ce fait, il n’existe plus une mais des sophrologies tant d’un point de vue théorique que pratique. La sophrologie se propose de soulager un grand nombre de troubles, certains fonctionnels (acouphènes), d’autres psychologiques (anxiété), ou encore d’accompagner des patients atteints de maladies nécessitant des traitements lourds (cancérologie). La sophrologie est assez largement implantée dans le paysage sanitaire français, ce qui rend la question de son évaluation particulièrement sensible. L’évaluation d’un soin relève d’un long processus, aux nombreuses étapes, chacune contraintes par des enjeux éthiques et méthodologiques forts.

Introduction The chapter below is dedicated to relaxation techniques. It is an attempt to explain their main theoretical concepts and techniques and to describe some benefits of their application. The chapter is addressed primarily to professional people who work with patients, but may also interest those non-professionals who want to improve their general health and well- being. The material is divided into nine sub-chapters, each describing a different aspect of the technique and practice of relaxation. First, these techniques are described as part of the application of holistic concepts to health and illness, and of relaxation techniques grounded in such concepts. Subsequently, relaxation is defined and analyzed as both a process and a state of awareness. Within the chapter, there is a description of the dimensions, levels, and the two main ways of attaining the deepened state of relaxation. The final section describes five sets of relaxation techniques and examples of their implementation in therapeutic settings.

    Prof. Dr. Albert Ferrer INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION FOR A NEW WORLD. Philosophy of Education and Practical Pedagogy For Integral Education in Human Values. 1 This Project has been elaborated by Prof. Dr. Albert Ferrer. Prof. Ferrer got a Ph.D on Philosophy by the University of Paris-Sorbonne after being a graduate member of Cambridge University. He has been Lecturer at the University of Barcelona, Asia House (Government of Spain) and several Departments of the Government of Catalonia. During the process of elaboration of this project (2006/ 2012) he was Visiting Professor in Sri Sathya Sai University (South India). He has also been appointed as Consultant for education to the Government of Catalonia. Personally awarded by the King of Spain and having received the oldest literary prize of Europe, Prof. Ferrer is a scholar with a top international resume, philosopher, writer and educationist. Integral value education does not belong either to the author of this Project or to the sages/ philosophers that have inspired him. It belongs to the whole mankind and to the cosmos entire. It is not the exclusive pedagogy of our new educational venture. It is a collective endeavour, where many participate from a diversity of institutes, organizations and countries. It is also a historical process, and we must have the humility of bringing a positive contribution without any overwhelming pretension to change everything at once. We can proceed by steps, dealing with the reality of our environment, knowing that the training of teachers and the information for parents will be decisive, and suggesting to public authorities not to impose anything to everybody through the force of the law, but rather to encourage research and concrete pedagogic experiences whenever there are competent educators ready to contribute.

  • Cancer Support France Dordogne Est & Lot News
    CANCER FRANCE ISSUE No. 10 SUPPORT AUTUMN 2019 DORDOGNE EST & LOT NEWS FROM THE ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT Autumn is now quietly creeping upon us after some glorious prolonged summer weather during September. This edition of our Newsletter contains updates about our Association as well CSF National events. It also includes some medical and health support information. We are currently considering a variety of approaches to make contact with English-speaking communities within our region, to ensure people are aware of the support we are able to provide should they find themselves affected by cancer, and also, to outline the different ways people can be involved as volunteers. FROM THE NEWSLETTER EDITOR The importance of a translator - We have both recently had to go for various ‘maintenance’ tests and on both occasions, we thought it was just a case of turning up and waiting in the appropriate place and wait for our names to be called. All well and good if the place you are told to go to by past ‘users’ is correct. Not so on either occasion; I walked in and climbed the stairs and waited on the first floor; 15 minutes later I realised that others were being called in before me. I tried to make myself understood when a man in a white coat appeared. I showed him my piece of paper and he very gently took hold of my wrist and escorted me back downstairs to the correct waiting area; I felt like a child! And then again, I waited… and waited. I showed the girl who was calling out everyone’s names except mine.

This is where the life energy flows in. If it is blocked, you feel worn out and tired. The aim of acupressure is to release the blockage. In so doing, several of the 365 energy points found on the meridians are stimulated. Acupuncture The basis of this Chinese needle therapy is the knowledge that the body con- tains an intricate network of invisible channels. This is where the life energy circulates. If this flow is disturbed, ill health and sickness occur. With acupunc- ture, needles are inserted in the skin at central points in the network to relieve the blockage.

    Les cinquante ans de la Sophrologie En tant que présidente du Premier Symposium International de Sophrologie Caycédienne, c’est pour moi un grand honneur d’inaugurer cet acte qui célèbre le cinquantième anniversaire de la fondation de la Sophrologie, en cette ville de Sitges près de Barcelone, en Espagne. Je vous souhaite la bienvenue et je tiens à exprimer ma gratitude pour votre assistance massive à cet acte. Nous sommes ici réunis, presque 500 professionnels Masters Spécialistes en Sophrologie Caycédienne ou en cours de formation, venus de divers pays d’Europe et certains hors d’Europe, comme la Guadeloupe, la Guinée et la Jordanie. Ce Symposium est intitulé « Sophrologie, Science et Vivance des Valeurs Phroniques de l’Être » ; c’est en honneur de mon père, le Professeur Alfonso Caycedo et en reconnaissance à sa trajectoire professionnelle en tant que fondateur de la Sophrologie, que nous le célébrons. Sitges a une signification très spéciale pour mon père et pour la Sophrologie. C’est ici, dans cette ville de la côte méditerranéenne à la beauté privilégiée, qu’il a donné les premiers cours de Sophrologie dans les années 70 ; ils étaient, à cette époque, adressés exclusivement aux médecins espagnols et français. En cette circonstance vraiment spéciale, je voudrais profiter pour le remercier au nom de nous tous, pour son œuvre, la Sophrologie ; pour son absolu dévouement à cette nouvelle science qui étudie la conscience, pour sa lutte en faveur de la conscience et du développement des valeurs phroniques de l’individu et pour son travail incessant dans son élaboration puis son perfectionnement au cours de ces dernières années, jusqu’à la culmination d’une œuvre harmonieuse et complète.
