French female youth and sports inspectors and the challenge of neoliberalism during the Trente Glorieuses

In a society where the politics of life is geared toward maximizing the physical and psychological dimensions of human capital to ensure economic growth, France’s Inspectorate for Youth and Sports played a key role in disseminating a new mode of governance of bodies and youth—a form of self-governance based on the rising neoliberal values that emerged during the period of the Trente Glorieuses. Representing a tiny minority in an essentially male bastion, a small number of women, cherry-picked for their expertise and effectiveness as inspectors, came to play a vital role in a new mode of youth governance aimed, against a backdrop of social control, at encouraging young people to assume greater self-responsibility and to take ownership of their physical education and activities. Guided by research in the human and social sciences as a basis for rethinking how physical education is taught in schools, women may be seen as key contributors to the emergence of a new ethos designed to develop the ability of French youth to adapt to the social and economic transformation of capitalist society by appealing to the psyche (superego) and self-regulation. Despite promoting a “differentialist feminism”.
Short-term cryopreservation and thawing have minimal effects on Plasmodium falciparum ex vivo invasion profile

Ex vivo phenotyping of P. falciparum erythrocyte invasion diversity is important in the identification and down selection of potential malaria vaccine targets. However, due to the lack of appropriate laboratory facilities in remote areas of endemic countries, direct processing of P. falciparum clinical isolates is usually not feasible. Here, we investigated the combined effect of short-term cryopreservation and thawing processes on the ex vivo invasion phenotypes of P. falciparum isolates. Ex-vivo or in vitro invasion phenotyping assays were performed with P. falciparum clinical isolates prior to or following culture adaptation, respectively. All isolates were genotyped at Day 0 for parasite clonality. Subsequently, isolates that were successfully culture-adapted were genotyped again at Days 7, 15, 21, and 28-post adaptation. Invasion phenotyping assays were performed in isogenic isolates revived at different time points (3, 6, and 12 months) post-cryopreservation and the resulting data were compared to that from ex-vivo invasion data of matched isogenic parental isolates. We also show that short-term culture adaptation selects for parasite clonality and could be a driving force for variation in invasion phenotypes as compared to ex vivo data where almost all parasite clones of a given isolate are present. Interestingly, our data show little variation in the parasites’ invasion phenotype following short-term cryopreservation. Altogether, our data suggest that short-term cryopreservation of uncultured P. falciparum clinical isolates is a reliable mechanism for storing parasites for future use.
Diffusion of Development Journalism Inside Egyptian Newsrooms

This study examines the boundaries and limitations of the diffusion of “development journalism” among both the editorial body and the journalist body in the Egyptian newsrooms after the 2011 Arab Spring. Newsrooms under study represent different perspectives including state-owned, private-independent, and opposition newspapers. Through in-depth interviews with thirty-seven editors in chief and journalists, the authors studied how the editors and journalists at each newspaper define development journalism, whether the diffusion of development journalism follows a top-down or bottom-up approach, and if development journalism could influence the setting of the news agenda. Results show that the differences are not only apparent in the way development journalism is defined inside the different news organizations, but also between managers and journalists within each. Organizational structures and technological developments are as well factors that affect the way development journalism is diffused inside newsrooms.
Retrospective Study of Redo Mitral Valve Surgery in Cardiothoracic Surgery Department Al-Hussein University Hospital

Background: Cardiac surgery became more common. This lead to increased redo-surgeries with expected increase of overall complications after the redo. The used approach could affect overall outcome. However, this is not addressed well in literature. Aim of the work: To examine the overall outcome of patients underwent redo-mitral valve replacement (redo-MVR). Patients and methods: This study is a retrospective comparative study that was conducted in Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, Al-Hussein University Hospital in the last three years [from January, 1st, 2017 to the end of December 2019). Collected data included patient demographics, surgical approach and overall short-term outcome.Results: The current study included 37 patients; the mean age was 45.19±9.16 years. The most common indication for redo was pannus formation (48.6%), followed by thrombosis (45.9%). There was no significant difference between preoperative and postoperative heart rhythm. Redo sternotomy was the commonest, reported in all patients, and femoral bypass done for 3 patients. Trans-atrial approach reported in 24 patients (64.86%) while Trans-septal approach reported in 13 patients (35.14%). No significant difference between preoperative and postoperative echo data (Ejection Friction, left atrial dimension or left ventricle end diastolic dimension). However, there was significant reduction of left ventricle end-systolic dimension (LVESD), pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP) and pressure gradient (PG) cross mitral valve after operation. Reoperation for bleeding was not reported in any cases, while need for new pacemaker reported in 2 patients (5.41%), new postoperative neurological dysfunction reported in new heart failure or need to dialysis in two patients (5.41%). The postoperative arrhythmia was reported in 7 patients (18.9%) and mortality was occurred in three patients (10.8%). Conclusion: The results of the current study showed that, both transseptal and transatrial approaches are comparable and no one is superior to the other.
Do host‐associated microbes show a contrarian latitudinal diversity gradient? Insights from Mytilus californianus, an intertidal foundation host

The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) is one of the most pervasive large‐scale trends in biodiversity. However, whether microbial taxa also conform to this pattern remains poorly known. This study uses the gill and shell‐surface microbiomes of the marine bivalve Mytilus californianus to test whether the diversity of host‐associated microbial communities declines with increasing latitude, as predicted by the LDG.
Amplatzer Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Occluder Versus Watchman Device for Stroke Prophylaxis (Amulet IDE)

Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is an alternative to chronic oral anticoagulation to reduce stroke risk in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. The Amulet IDE trial (Amplatzer Amulet Left Atrial Appendage Occluder IDE Trial) was designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the dual-seal mechanism of the Amulet LAA occluder compared with the Watchman device. Methods: Patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation at increased risk of stroke were randomly assigned (1:1) to undergo percutaneous implantation of a LAA occluder with the Amulet occluder or Watchman device. The primary end points included safety (composite of procedure-related complications, all-cause death, or major bleeding at 12 months), effectiveness (composite of ischemic stroke or systemic embolism at 18 months), and the rate of LAA occlusion at 45 days. Prespecified secondary end points included a composite of all stroke, systemic embolism, or cardiovascular/unexplained death at 18 months, major bleeding at 18 months, and superiority test of the 3 primary end points. Results: A total of 1878 patients were enrolled. The Amulet occluder was noninferior to the Watchman device for the primary safety end point (14.5% versus 14.7%; difference=–0.14 [95% CI, –3.42 to 3.13]; P<0.001 for noninferiority). Major bleeding and all-cause death were similar between groups (10.6% versus 10.0% and 3.9% versus 5.1%, respectively). Procedure-related complications were higher for the Amulet occluder (4.5% versus 2.5%), largely related to more frequent pericardial effusion and device embolization. The Amulet occluder was noninferior to the Watchman device for the primary effectiveness end point (2.8% versus 2.8%; difference=0.00 [95% CI, –1.55 to 1.55]; P<0.001 for noninferiority), and the composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or cardiovascular/unexplained death (5.6% versus 7.7%, difference=–2.12 [95% CI, –4.45 to 0.21]; P<0.001 for noninferiority). The rate of major bleeding was similar between groups (11.6% versus 12.3%; difference=–0.71 [95% CI, –3.72 to 2.31]; P=0.32 for superiority). LAA occlusion was higher for the Amulet occluder than for the Watchman device (98.9% versus 96.8%; difference=2.03 [95% CI, 0.41–3.66]; P<0.001 for noninferiority; P=0.003 for superiority). Conclusions: The Amulet occluder was noninferior for safety and effectiveness of stroke prevention for nonvalvular atrial fibrillation compared with the Watchman device and superior for LAA occlusion. Procedure-related complications were higher with the Amulet occluder and decreased with operator experience. Registration: URL: https://www.clinicaltrials. gov; Unique identifier: NCT02879448.
Efficient production of ε-poly-l-lysine using cassava starch and fish meal by Streptomyces albulus FQC-24

Abstract ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PL) is used as a natural food preservative which consists of l-lysine units connected. However, due to the expensive culture medium, the production cost of ε-PL remains high. In this study, cheap raw materials cassava starch (CS) and fish meal (FM) were employed by S. albulus FQC-24 for ε-PL production. In the single factor experiment, the maximum ε-PL production reached 0.97 g/L at 60 g/L CS and 15 g/L FM. The results of screening experiments by Plackett–Burman design showed that three main components affecting ε-PL production were CS, FM, and (NH4)2SO4. And the standardized effects of CS, FM, and (NH4)2SO4 were 0.13, −0.22, and −0.2, respectively. The optimum fermentation medium developed by response surface methodology for ε-PL production contained (g/L) CS, 67.56; FM, 14.70 and (NH4)2SO4, 5.41. Under the optimum conditions, the ε-PL production was achieved 1.30 g/L, with 34.02% higher than that before optimization. Moreover, ε-PL productions of batch and fed-batch fermentation in a 7-L fermentor were improved to 2.13 and 17.17 g/L respectively, which increased by 0.64 and 12.2 times compared with the shake flask culture. The results indicated that FM and CS are promising substrates for the efficient production of ε-PL.
Driving Forces for the Spatial Reconstruction of Rural Settlements in Mountainous Areas Based on Structural Equation Models: A Case Study in Western China

Rural settlement development in mountainous areas is the key to eliminating global hunger and poverty. The spatial reconstruction of rural settlements in mountainous areas can promote rural development in mountainous areas. In this study, the Panxi area—a typical mountainous area in China—was chosen as the study area. The driving forces for the spatial reconstruction of rural settlements in mountainous areas were explored from the perspective of peasant households by combining participatory rural appraisal (PRA) with structural equation modeling (SEM). Results showed that: (1) 62.03% of the 266 peasant households included were willing to have spatial reconstruction, indicating that most peasant households in mountainous areas have a very strong intention towards the spatial reconstruction of rural settlements. (2) Infrastructure, medical conditions, living environment, farming culture, and dietary habits significantly influenced the reconstruction intention of peasant households. In contrast, development opportunities, place attachment, language, and living mode each had a slight influence. (3) Geological disasters were the main driving force for the spatial reconstruction of rural settlements in mountainous areas, whilst the driving force of living cohesion was the smallest. This study provides insights for future planning and construction of rural settlements in the Panxi area and spatial reconstruction practices. It has important practical significance for overcoming poverty and realizing rural revitalization in mountainous areas.
Microbial, chemical and sensory evaluation of pigeon pea condiment from wild and controlled fermentation

Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) is an important grain legume crop predominantly grown in India. Changes in the microbial and chemical qualities of pigeon pea during wild (96 h) and controlled (72 h) fermentations were investigated. Sensory properties of the resulting condiments were also evaluated. Organisms associated with 96 h wild fermentation of pigeon pea included Bacillus species, Lactobacillus species, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Escherichia faecalis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. pH decreased with wild (from 7.5 to 5.0) and controlled (from 7.4 to 6.0) fermentations. There was a steady decrease in crude fibre, crude fat and carbohydrate but an increase in ash, moisture and crude protein with increasing length of fermentation periods. Phytate, oxalate, tannins, and trypsin inhibitory activity of fermented condiment decreased with increasing fermentation period. Sensory evaluation showed that pigeon pea produced from controlled fermentation had higher scores in colour and texture compared with commercial condiment (iru). This study has revealed the feasibility of producing pigeon pea condiment using wild and controlled fermentation, and this presents a veritable strategy to increase the utilization of the crop.
ВЛИЯНИЕ КРИОКОНСЕРВИРОВАННОГО ЭКСТРАКТА ПЛАЦЕНТЫ НА ОТДЕЛЬНЫЕ БИОХИМИЧЕСКИЕ ПОКАЗАТЕЛИ ЛЕЧЕБНОЙ ЭФФЕКТИВНОСТИ И ТОКСИЧНОСТИ ДИКЛОФЕНАКА НАТРИЯ ПРИ АДЪЮВАНТ-ИНДУЦИРОВАННОМ АРТРИТЕ В ЭКСПЕРИМЕНТЕ

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are among the top requested ones in the clinic of internal medicine. However, these drugs are associated with a wide range of adverse reactions involving a number of organs and systems, in particular the gastrointestinal tract, cardiovascular system and kidneys. The aim of the study is to characterize the effect of the combined use of cryopreserved placenta extract and diclofenac sodium on the prooxidant-oxidative system, the activity of inflammatory, destructive and cytolytic processes, as well as protein and lipid metabolism in rats with experimental rheumatoid arthritis. Results. The administration of diclofenac sodium and cryopreserved placenta extract to rats with adjuvant arthritis normalized the level of active products of thiobarbituric acid and hence was indicative of the neutralization of an arthritis-induced oxidative stress. A statistically significant (p=0.01) increase of in a superoxide dismutase activity (by 30.6% relative as compared with rats of the control group) has also been established. An increase in the anti-inflammatory properties of diclofenac sodium in the combined use of diclofenac sodium with a cryopreserved placenta extract has been found out. The level of C-reactive protein decreased (p<0.001) by 61.1% as compared with the untreated rats, and the level of seromucoid has been significantly (p<0.01) decreased by 17.1% as compared with the rats of the monotherapy group treated with the studied NSAIDs. It was shown that alanine aminotransferase and aspartate levels were significantly lower (by 38.9%, p<0.01 and by 37.9%, p<0.01, respectively) as compared with those of the animals that had been administrated with diclofenac sodium. Their indices were by 16.7% (p=0.02) and 17.2% (p<0.001) lower than the indices of the control group rats with untreated adjuvant arthritis. The established changes of aminotransferases levels indicate the ability of a cryopreserved placenta extract to level not only an arthritis-induced cytolytic syndrome, but also a diclofenac-induced one. The combined use of cryopreserved placenta extract and diclofenac sodium was accompanied by the normalization of the total lipids level and phospholipids in the blood serum of rats against the background of experimental rheumatoid arthritis. Thus, the content of phospholipids in the lipid pool statistically significantly (p=0.02) increased by 22.6% as compared with the indices of the animals with adjuvant arthritis without treatment. Conclusion. The study showed that the combined use of diclofenac sodium and cryopreserved placenta extract leads to the restoration of the balance of the prooxidant-antioxidant system that is more pronounced than monotherapy with diclofenac sodium. A decrease in the activity of inflammatory, destructive and cytolytic processes, as well as the restoration of lipid metabolism in the rats with experimental rheumatoid arthritis, has also been observed.
The Effects of Innovation Climate on Employee Job Satisfaction and Affective Commitment: Findings from Public Organizations

This article tests the effects of innovation climate on two major employee attitudes, employee job satisfaction and affective commitment, using 2017 Australian Public Service Commission (APSC) data (n = 83,943). The Australian Public Service (APS) is a suitable context because the APS prioritizes and is concerned with both innovative activities and employee attitudes (e.g., job satisfaction and affective commitment). To develop hypotheses, this study applies insights from different theories, including perceived organizational support (POS), self-determination theory (SDT), empowerment, employee engagement, and job engagement. The empirical results of the structural equation models (along with robustness checks) demonstrate that innovation climate has a statistically significant and positive effect on both job satisfaction and affective commitment and that job satisfaction positively mediates this relationship. For policy makers, these findings suggest an innovation climate can be an important tool to increase employee job satisfaction and commitment.
How open is innovation research? – An empirical analysis of data sharing among innovation scholars

ABSTRACT We investigate what fosters or inhibits data sharing behaviour in a sample of 173 innovation management researchers. Theoretically, we integrate resource-based arguments with social exchange considerations to juxtapose the trade-off between data as a proprietary resource for researchers and the benefits that reciprocity in academic relations may provide. Our empirical analysis reveals that the stronger scholars perceive the comparative advantage of non-public datasets, the lower the likelihood of data sharing. Expected communal benefits may increase the likelihood of data sharing, while negative perceptions of increased data scrutiny are consequential in inhibiting data sharing. Only institutional pressure may help to solve this conundrum; most respondents would therefore like to see journal policies that foster data sharing.

The Effect of Uncertains in European Economic Policies on the BIST 100 Index

Uncertainties are one of the factors affecting investors' investment decisions. In accordance with the wait-and-see policy, which is the best option for investors in an uncertain environment, investors can postpone their investment and consumption decisions. Uncertainties especially in economic policies affect investors' decisions more deeply. In this context, the goal of this study is to test the effect of European Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) index, which represents uncertainties in economic policies of European countries, on BIST 100 index by Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), Johansen Cointegration and cointegration coefficient estimator FMOLS and DOLS. Monthly data between February 1988 and May 2019 were used in this study. Findings of the study, it was reached that there was a long-run interaction between EPU and BIST 100 index and the increases in the EPU index had a negative effect on the BIST 100 index. In addition, one-way causality relationship was determined from the change in EPU index to the change in BIST 100 index
Organic Electro‐Optic Mach–Zehnder Modulators: From Physics‐Based to System‐Level Modeling

Herein, an overview on the physics‐based and system‐oriented modeling of organic electro‐optic Mach–Zehnder modulators for optical communication systems is presented. State‐of‐the‐art solutions in electro‐optic organic materials and modulator designs are reviewed, with particular stress on silicon organic hybrid (SOH) and plasmonic organic hybrid (POH) solutions. Then, the physics‐based simulation of concentrated and traveling‐wave modulators is discussed both through 3D optical simulations and a combination of 2D and 3D models, where the modulator is partitioned into convenient subdomains. Neural network behavioral models are finally discussed and case studies are proposed on the physics‐based and system‐level simulation of SOH and POH Mach–Zehnder modulators.
The practices of professional development facilitators

ABSTRACT Research into schoolteachers’ professional development often focuses on its subject and pedagogical content, delivery model and mechanisms for and evaluation of professional learning. However, the role of the professional development facilitators who lead, plan and deliver professional development activities is under-researched and their importance is therefore undervalued. To address this, there is a need for a greater understanding of how professional development facilitators learn, practice and develop their roles. This study contributes to the evidence base about professional development facilitators through a small-scale study of the facilitators of a teacher professional development programme in the Further Education and Skills sector in England. Using qualitative data drawn from facilitators and participants we identify three areas of practice used by the facilitators: content, pedagogy and embodiment. We describe the facilitators’ choices in relation to these practices and how these choices interact, identifying modelling as an important practice where content and pedagogy overlap. We show how facilitators’ choices were supported by previous experience, ongoing learning and feedback from participants. Drawing on this evidence we suggest ways in which professional development facilitators might be supported in their own professional learning by exploring and improving their knowledge and understanding of the three areas of practice.
