Quatre Observations sur la mobilité résidentielle en France métropolitaine

1- 10% of the inhabitants of France move every year.2- Residential mobility has increased during the last thirty years, but with slowing downsand even recesses when the economic conditions were low.3- An important part of the population stays in the same region during their active life ;another noticeable part performs several migrations.4- When a residential migration is followed by another, in about half of the cases thesecond one is a return to the region left during the first one ; this proportion hasdecreased recently.5- These observations are established from six groups of statistical data : labor forcesurveys, censuses, housing surveys, "panel europeen", four retrospective surveys, andthe panel extracted from the annual declarations of social data "DADS". 6- The censuses provide geographical detail about migration flows ; but one has to takeinto account their retrospective observation spell, which is longer than five years, andfor that purpose to make use of a "migrant-migration" model whose hypotheses cannotbe applied to all sub-populations.7- Notwithstanding his limited field and his defects, mainly present in ancient years, the"panel DADS" is a reliable and rich source of information to study internal migration.
Textbook Outcome after Gastrectomy for Gastric Cancer Is Associated with Improved Overall and Disease-Free Survival

(1) Background: The complexity of the perioperative outcome for patients with gastric cancer is not well reflected by single quality metrics. To study the effect of the surgical outcome on survival, we have evaluated the relationship between textbook outcome (TO)—a new composite parameter—and oncological outcome. (2) Methods: All patients undergoing total gastrectomy or trans-hiatal extended gastrectomy for gastric cancer with curative intent between 2017 and 2021 at our institution were included. TO was defined by negative resection margins (R0); collection of ≥25 lymph nodes; the absence of major perioperative complications (Clavien–Dindo ≥ 3); the absence of any reintervention; absence of unplanned ICU re-admission; length of hospital stay < 21 days; absence of 30-day readmission and 30-day mortality. We evaluated factors affecting TO by multivariate logistic regression. The correlation between TO and long-term survival was assessed using a multivariate cox proportional-hazards model. (3) Results: Of the patients included in this study, 52 (52.5 %) achieved all TO metrics. Open surgery (p = 0.010; OR 3.715, CI 1.334–10.351) and incomplete neoadjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.020, OR 4.278, CI 1.176–15.553) were associated with failure to achieve TO on multivariate analysis. The achievement of TO significantly affected overall survival (p = 0.015). TO (p = 0.037, OD 0.448, CI 0.211–0.954) and CCI > 4 (p = 0.034, OR 2.844, CI 1.079–7.493) were significant factors affecting DFS upon univariate analysis. In multivariate analysis, CCI > 4 (p = 0.035, OR 2.605, CI 0.983–6.905) was significantly associated with DFS. (4) Conclusions: We identified patient- and procedure-related factors influencing TO. Importantly, achieving TO is strongly associated with improved long-term survival in gastric cancer patients and merits further focus on surgical quality improvement efforts.
Impact of Persistent Inflammation, Immunosuppression, and Catabolism Syndrome during Intensive Care Admission on Each Post-Intensive Care Syndrome Component in a PICS Clinic

Background: Persistent inflammation, immunosuppression, and catabolism syndrome (PIICS) is known as a prolonged immunodeficiency that occurs after severe infection. Few studies have demonstrated a direct relationship between PIICS and physical dysfunction in post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). We herein investigated how each component of PICS was affected by the diagnosis of PIICS during hospitalization and examined the relationship between PIICS and PICS using PICS assessments performed at the Hitachi General Hospital PICS Clinic. Methods: The 273 patients who visited the PICS clinic at one month after discharge from the ICU at Hitachi General Hospital were included in the study. We used the diagnostic criteria for PIICS described in previous studies. At least two of the following blood test values on day 14 of hospitalization had to be met for a diagnosis of PIICS: C-reactive protein (CRP) > 2.0 mg/dL, albumin (Alb) < 3.0 g/dL, and lymphocytes (Lym) < 800/μL. Blood test values closest to day 14 out of 11–17 days of hospitalization were used. The primary outcome was a Barthel Index (BI) < 90, while secondary outcomes were the results of various PICS assessments, including mental and cognitive impairments, performed at the PICS clinic. We supplemented missing data with multiple imputations by chained equations. We performed a nominal logistic regression analysis with age, sex, BMI, SOFA, and the presence of PIICS as variables for BI < 90. Results: Forty-three out of two hundred seventy-three PICS outpatients met the diagnostic criteria for PIICS during hospitalization. In comparisons with non-PIICS patients, significantly higher severity scores for APACHE II and SOFA and a longer hospital stay were observed in PIICS patients, suggesting a higher clinical severity. The primary outcome, BI, was lower in the PIICS group (97.5 (58.5, 100) vs. 100 (95, 100), p = 0.008), as were the secondary outcomes (FSS-ICU: 35 (31, 35) vs. 35 (35, 35), MRC score: 55 (50.25, 58) vs. 58 (53, 60), grip strength: 16.45 (9.2, 25.47) vs. 20.4 (15.3, 27.7)). No significant differences were noted in mental or cognitive function assessments, such as HADS, IES-R, and SMQ. A multivariable analysis supplemented with missing data revealed that PIICS (odds ratio: 1.23 (1.08–1.40 p = 0.001) and age (odds ratio: 1.007 (1.004–1.01), p < 0.001) correlated with BI < 90, independent of clinical severity such as sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA). Similar results were obtained in the sensitivity analysis excluding missing data. Conclusions: The present study revealed a strong relationship between PIICS and post-discharge PICS physical dysfunction in patients requiring intensive care.
The effect of e-service quality on e-loyalty of Islamic banking customers: Does e-satisfaction act as mediator?

Purpose – This study aims to measure and analyze the mediating role of e-satisfaction on the effect of e-service quality on e-loyalty of the customers of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) in Banda Aceh, Indonesia.Methodology – This study gathered the primary data by distributing questionnaires to a number of 200 BSI customers that were selected as the respondents of the study using a purposive sampling technique. A Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) technique is used to test the four proposed hypotheses.Findings – The study recorded that e-service quality has positively affected the e-satisfaction and e-loyalty of the BSI customers, respectively. E-satisfaction enjoyed by banking customers has enhanced their e-loyalty. In addition, the study documented that e-satisfaction has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between e-service quality and the BSI customers’ e-loyalty.Implications – The findings of the study suggest that to promote the customers’ e-loyalty, the BSI management should focus on improving customers’ e-satisfaction by strengthening e-service quality.Originality – This study explored the mediating role of e-satisfaction on the effect of e-service quality on e-loyalty, focusing on the users of e-banking facilities of the largest Islamic banking institution in Indonesia. Therefore, this study provides significant guidelines for the Islamic banks in maintaining and enhancing e-loyalty of customers through improving their customer satisfaction by providing a high quality of services digitally nationwide.
Refining Targeting against Poverty Evidence from Tunisia

Weintroduceanewmethodologytotargetdirecttransfersagainstpoverty.Ourmethod is based on estimation methods that focus on the poor. Using data from Tunisia, we estimate‘focused’transferschemesthathighlyimproveanti-povertytargetingperformances. Post-transfer poverty can be substantially reduced with the new estimation method. For example, a one-third reduction in poverty severity from proxy-means test transfer schemes based on OLS method to focused transfer schemes requires only a few hours of computer work based on methods available on popular statistical packages. Finally, the obtained levels of undercoverage of the poor are particularly low.
Fertilization in Eucalyptus urophylla plantations in Guangxi, southern China

StoraEnso decided in year 2002 to build a pulp mill in the province of Guangxi, southern China, and also establish eucalyptus plantations to provide it with raw material. By 2010 StoraEnso controls about 90 000 of planned 120 000 ha, out of 75 000 ha is already planted with Eucalyptus. By using better genetic material, improve the tending, selecting the sites more careful and by using a proper fertilization regime StoraEnso hopes to increase the mean annual increment from today’s 25 m3/ha, on bark, to 35 m3/ha. This study is one part in this work to increase the mean annual increment in the plantation. This master thesis is the forth in a series, that has followed up a fertilization trial that started in spring 2006 when the trial was laid out and treatments decided. The aim with the trial is to examine the production potential of Eucalyptus urophylla in Guangxi, southern China. In total there are seven different treatments, out of which one is the common practice for StoraEnso Guangxi, and one is an untreated control treatment. The three max-fertilized treatments have gotten the amounts of fertilizers decided after leaf-nutrient analysis. If the nutrient analysis revealed that the concentration of a specific nutrient was too low, extra amounts of that nutrient were included in the next fertilization. The treatment with the highest total production and mean annual increment at a stand age of 68 months is the max-fertilized treatment: NPK-300-B with a total stem wood production of 208.10 m3/ha and a MAI of 36.72 m3/ha. NPK-300-B was also the only treatment that had a statistically significant higher total production and MAI than the Control treatment. The mean basic density value was significantly lower in the wood harvested from treatment NPK-300-B (469 kg/m3) compared to wood from the control (498 kg/m3). The leaf analysis showed that the concentrations of all nutrients have increased in both treatments since the last analysis in 2008 made by Rickard Carlsson and that the recommended ratios have been reached for all nutrients, except for phosphorous (P) in the control which was slightly under the recommended ratio. Potential dry mass production/ ha/yr at the latitude of Guangxi is estimated to be around 30 tons, if water, nutrients and other biotic factors limiting the growth is satisfied. In treatment NPK-300-B the production reaches 14.095 tons/ha and year when the volume production peaked at a stand age of 68 months. So potentially the stem production is only 50% of the estimated potential.
Distribution and Antibiotic Resistance Analysis of Blood Culture Pathogens in a Tertiary Care Hospital in China in the Past Four Years

Purpose This study aimed to investigate the antibiotic resistance patterns and clinical distribution of blood culture-positive isolates at Suining Central Hospital between 2018 and 2021. The findings of this study can provide a basis for ensuring rational and effective use of antibiotic therapy in clinical settings. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the data of 3660 non-repeating strains that tested positive for clinical blood culture, collected from the microbiology laboratory of Suining Central Hospital between January 2018 and December 2021. The identification of bacterial species and their antibiotic resistance patterns were analyzed. Results The study found that 76.7% of the bacterial strains identified were Gram-negative bacteria, while 23.3% were Gram-positive bacteria. Escherichia coli (44.8%), Klebsiella spp. (19.2%), Staphylococcus aureus (9.2%), Enterococcus spp. (5.3%), and Enterobacter spp. were the top five bacterial ratios observed. These bacteria were detected most frequently in the Digestion Center, intensive care unit (ICU), Neurology Center, Urology Department, and Hematology Department. Among the Staphylococcus spp. , methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative staphylococci (MRCNS) were detected at rates of 39.3% and 71.8%, respectively. However, no vancomycin- or linezolid-resistant staphylococci were identified. Enterococcus faecalis showed higher susceptibility to most antibiotic than Enterococcus faecium, except for tetracycline. The resistance rates of E. coli and Klebsiella spp. to meropenem and imipenem were low, but the resistance rates for other antibiotic were above 40%. Conclusion The results of this study show a rising incidence of bacterial antibiotic resistance in positive blood culture specimens at Suining Central Hospital. Clinicians should carefully consider the importance of blood culture antibiotic susceptibility testing to ensure effective treatment. The Department of Microbiology at Suining Central Hospital should regularly analyze the distribution of pathogenic bacteria and antibiotic resistance in blood cultures to ensure the most effective treatment possible.
神圣的帷幕 : 宗教社会学理论之要素 = The sacred canopy elements of a sociological theory of religion

Peter Berger (1929) is an American sociologist best known for his collaboration with Thomas Luckman in writing The Social Construction of Reality: A Treatise in the Sociology of Knowledge. That book argues that human reality, and knowledge of it, is a social construct, emerging from the individual or group’s interaction with larger social structures (institutions). Social structures, once widely adopted, lose their history as social constructions (objectivation), and come over time, by the people who live within them, to be deemed natural realities independent of human construction (reification). Berger predicted, in his later book, The Sacred Canopy, near-term all-encompassing secularization of religion, which prediction has proved false, especially in the third world (as Berger himself has acknowledged in his later work, Desecularization).
Whole Genome Analysis of a Non-O1, Non-O139 Vibrio cholerae Detected from Human Blood in China

Abstract Non-O1, non-O139 Vibrio cholerae (NOVC) can cause cholera-like diarrhea, but it rarely causes extraintestinal infection, so it is easily overlooked. In this report, we present a case of NOVC detected through blood culture in a 58-year-old male patient with cirrhosis, resulting in severe infection. The patient had been diagnosed with cirrhosis seven years prior and was admitted to the hospital due to abdominal distension and gastrointestinal bleeding. Gram-negative bacilli were isolated from blood cultures and identified as V. cholerae using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and average nucleotide identity (ANI). Moreover, the serum agglutination test showed that the strain was non-O1/non-O139. Further whole genome sequencing and analysis of the strain showed that the strain mainly carried virulence genes tox R, RTX, hly A, T3SS/T6SS, but no resistant genes such as sulII, dfrA1, strB were detected. It provides information for the study of the pathogenic mechanism and drug resistance mechanism of V. cholerae. The patient had severe symptoms and a poor prognosis, indicating that although the NOVC strain infected in this patient had few virulence genes, it was not weak in pathogenicity. It may be caused by the effect of some virulence genes, which should be paid attention to.
UNDERGRADUATES' ACADEMIC ENGAGEMENT: THE PREDICTIVE POWER OF ACADEMIC STRESS, EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND RESILIENCE

This study investigated the predictive power of academic stress, emotional intelligence, and resilience on undergraduates' academic engagement. A cross-sectional survey design was adopted, and a multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 420 respondents, of which 398 (94.8%) were retrieved. Two hypotheses were formulated and tested using descriptive statistics, Pearson Product Moment Correlation, and multiple regression analysis at the 0.05 significance level. The findings of this study revealed that 45.1% of the total variance in the undergraduates' academic engagement is accounted for by academic stress, emotional intelligence, and resilience. Furthermore, there were significant and positive relationships between academic engagement, emotional intelligence, and resilience. However, a significant but negative relationship existed between academic stress and engagement. The study concluded that institutional policies and structures should be designed to cushion the negative effect of stress on learning. Therefore, it was recommended that emotional intelligence and resilience studies be incorporated into the school curriculum.
Comparative study on the bioavailability of peptide extracts from Jeju black pigs and three-way crossbred pigs

7 This study aimed to compare the changes in the bioactivities of peptide extracts (<10 kDa) obtained 8 from Jeju black pigs (JBP) and three-way crossbred pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc, LYD) 9 before and after digestion. The results showed that the loin peptide extracts of JBP maintained high 10 ABTS radical scavenging activity after in vitro digestion. However, the iron chelating activity and 11 antihypertensive activity of all peptide extracts were decreased. This study suggested that the peptide 12 extracts produced through alkaline-AK digestion have sufficiently high antioxidant and 13 antihypertensive activities; however, these activities were reduced after in vitro digestion. Meanwhile, 14 the JBP loin and ham peptide extracts promoted high SOD activity than that of LYD when 15 administered to mice. Furthermore, the ham peptide extracts of JBP showed a relatively high 16 antihypertensive activity in mice. Therefore, it is deemed that these peptide extracts from JBP are 17 more bioactive than that of LYD, and can be used as bioactive materials. 18
SURVIVAL AND HABITAT USE OF GREATER SANDHILL CRANE COLTS ON MODOCNATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, CALIFORNIA

Radiotelemetry was used to monitor 13 (1990) and 14 (1992) greater sandhill crane (Grus canadensis tabida) colts on Modoc National Wildlife Refuge, California, to determine causes of mortality, brood habitat utilization, and effects of habitat management on colt survival. Colt survival rates were 0.36 (1990) and 0.54 (1992). Coyotes (Canis latrans) killed 3 colts and mink (Mustela vison) killed 4; I colt died because of a bacterial infection (Staphylococcus aureous). Broods used 6 different habitat types and 79% used more than I type. Irrigated meadows (74%), cultivated uplands (53 %), and marsh (42 %) were used by most broods. Habitat management practices included hay harvesting (15 July-3D August) and fall grazing (September-December) and did not directly cause mortality, but hay harvest may have increased vulnerability to predation.

Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad

Private Conservation Areas (CPAs) are a complementary resource to support mammal conservation in tropical regions of the world. However, their small surface area can exert a differential influence on the species present in terms of behavior and affect their coexistence. During the 2016 rainy season, we investigated the daily activity patterns of canopy mammals in a 100 ha CPA in a rainforest. For this, 11 camera traps were placed in the trees, 15 m high. Sciurus deppei showed diurnal activity, Potos flavus around midnight
An accurate measurement of densities of snowflakes using 3-D microphotographs

A 3-D microphotographic method was developed to measure densities of snowflakes accurately. Microscopic observations and photographs were taken in the field. The volume of a snowflake which is an aggregate of snow crystals was estimated from the 3-D photo by polyhedron approximation. The weight of the snowflake was measured with an electro-balance. The density values obtained were compared with the degree of riming and the size of each snowflake. The results clearly show that riming is a prime factor in increasing the density of the snowflake. The density of a snowflake is not sensitive to the change of size of the flake itself, but depends slightly on the size of its constituent snow crystals. The technique developed here will be applied in the future to study of the density of falling snowflakes.
Semantically Consistent Visual Representation for Adversarial Robustness

Deep neural networks have been widely used in various domains owing to the success of deep learning. However, recent studies have shown that these models are vulnerable to adversarial examples, leading to inaccurate predictions. In this paper, we focus on the issue of adversarial robustness by examining it through the lens of semantic information, which drives us to propose a new perspective, i.e., adversarial attacks destroy the correlation between visual representations and semantic word vectors, while adversarial training restores it. Additionally, we discover that the correlation among robust representations of different categories aligns with the correlation among the corresponding semantic word vectors. Based on these empirical observations, we incorporate the semantic information into the model training process and propose Semantic Constraint Adversarial Robust Learning (SCARL). Firstly, inspired by the information-theoretical perspective, we maximize mutual information to bridge the information gap between the visual representations and the corresponding semantic word vectors in the embedding space. We further provide a differentiable lower bound to optimize such mutual information efficiently. Secondly, we introduce a novel semantic structure constraint that maintains the structure of visual representations consistent with that of semantic word vectors. Finally, we integrate these techniques with adversarial training to learn robust visual representations. We conduct extensive experiments on several datasets (such as CIFAR and TinyImageNet) and evaluate the robustness against various adversarial attacks (such as PGD-attack and AutoAttack), demonstrating the benefits of incorporating semantic information for improving model robustness.
Speciation, Fluxes, and Cycling of Dissolved Copper and Zinc in Estuaries: The Roles of Sediment Exchange and Photochemical Effects

Abstract : Copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) have numerous sources in naval shipping, berthing, and maintenance facilities. Concentrations of these metals in estuaries and harbors can reach levels which are potentially toxic to biota. Hence, discharges and concentrations of these metals are strictly regulated by environmental quality agencies. Because of pervasive problems associated with discharges and remediation of Cu and Zn in estuaries and harbors, it is essential that regulated agencies and regulators alike understand the factors that influence the availability and cycling behavior of these metals in environments relevant to DoD operations.
