Stress oxydant et fertilité : fausses évidences et mauvaises recettes

Worldwide statistics agree that at least one out of six couples has fertility problems. If the male gamete is the origin of this problem, it is generally admitted that the oxidative stress is involved. Modern life has obviously increased fertility problems through pesticides, xenoestrogenes, endocrine disrupting chemicals involved in plastic technology such as polychlorinated bisphenyls, bisphenol A, phthalates and alkylphenols… and other cosmetic additives. An important part of these compounds increases oxidative stress, at least in part. Oxidative stress is more than probably at the origin or recurrent increasing pathologies such as endometriosis. If the oocyte is theoretically able to repair oxidative stress linked decays such as DNA fragmentation and oxidation of bases, its capacity is finite and decreasing with age. In order to decrease DNA repair charge, reducing or even avoiding the generation of DNA damages related to reactive oxygen species through consumption of antioxidants compounds is often tempting: however Reasons will be provided to break from current treatments given haphazardly in the population in the age of reproduction, as well as the potential risks of over-exposure. Furthermore recommended treatments, in relation with the new concepts in oxidative stress, will be specified.
Precautionary hand pollination suggests outbreeding depression between potential seed donor populations for a rare wetland plant1

Abstract Pyrrocoma racemosa var. racemosa, is a rare, endemic species found in six remnant Willamette Valley wetland prairie sites in western Oregon, USA. Due to its rarity and association with high-quality wetland habitat, P. r. var. racemosa is a focal species for reintroduction and genetic rescue. However, no genetic studies for this species have been undertaken. I conducted a pollen addition experiment between the two largest P. racemosa populations to determine the effects of selfing, intrapopulation crosses and interpopulation crosses on plant fitness. An ANOVA indicated that the percentage of filled achenes from intrapopulation crosses was significantly greater (≈ 30% more filled achenes) than both interpopulation crossing and selfing, which did not statistically differ from each other. Pollen viability, inferred through flourescein diacetate staining, did not differ statistically over the time span that it took to gather and perform the pollen addition treatments, suggesting that the diminished se...

Is English Language Really the Appropriate Language for Health Mobilization in Calabar Metropolis

This paper explores the impact of the use of the English language for health mobilization in Calabar Town. It also aimed at establishing the effectiveness of the language used in health mobilization in the town. The study was carried out in Calabar Municipality and Calabar South Local Government Areas of Cross River State. The research instruments used for this work were questionnaire, interview and general observation. Since one of the targets of the Millennium Development Goals is the attainment of health for all by the year 2015, it is therefore important that health issues are communicated appropriately through the choice of a language that will be understood by the target population. From the findings of this research, it is believed that the English language alongside the Nigerian pidgin and Efik language help in sensitizing the residents of Calabar better, because Calabar is a melting pot of people from different linguistic backgrounds.
Quality improvements in prostate radiotherapy: Outcomes and impact of comprehensive quality assurance during the TROG 03.04 ‘RADAR’ trial

The Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group 03.04 'Randomised Androgen Deprivation and Radiotherapy' multicentre prostate cancer trial examined the optimal duration of androgen deprivation in combination with dose-escalated radiotherapy. Rigorous quality assurance (QA) processes were undertaken to ensure the validity and reliability of the radiation therapy treatment plan data.QA processes included a planning benchmarking exercise and a periodic audit of target and normal tissue delineation. Centralised electronic review of digital plan data for external-beam radiotherapy was undertaken to detect protocol variations. The impact of clinical factors and feedback to submitting centres during the trial on variation rates was investigated.Twenty-three centres across Australia and New Zealand recruited 1071 participants to the trial. Treatment plans for 754 participants receiving external-beam treatment alone were reviewed. From these, 1185 minor and 86 major variations were identified, leading to feedback to treating centres to reduce variations for subsequent patients' treatment and plans, suggesting improvement in treatment quality through these QA programs. Participant anatomical factors (delineated clinical target volume and rectal volume) and treatment planning factors (beam energy, beam definition and patient position orientation) were found to significantly impact variation rates. The dummy run demonstrated disagreement in identification of the base of the prostate and the superior extent of the rectum. Feedback from the periodic audit led to a change of practice at five contributing centres.The application of a suite of complementary QA activities allows the quality of trial data to be optimised and quantified, and can provide a catalyst for reforming treatment practices.
Effects of gradual exposure to carbon dioxide gas on the blood pressure status of workers in coal mines of Kerman province, Iran.

The present study was conducted to investigate the probable changes in blood pressure of workers in coal mines.In this study 91 workers, who worked in forwarding, preparation and exploitation units of coal mines and were in direct contact with carbon dioxide gas (from fireworks), have been selected as the case group, and 70 workers, who did not have direct contact with this gas, from other units were selected as the control group by simple random sampling method. The inclusion criteria were over 10 years of work experience and the age range of 30 to 45 years. The blood pressure values and their classification were determined based on the Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention of Hypertension. Statistical analysis was performed using t-test.The results of this study showed that mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures in the case group were significantly lower than the control group (P < 0.001).The mean diastolic blood pressure of workers in coal mines is less than other people due to the CO2 gas. A greater control of the existing gas in mines by relevant factors is required. Necessary medical care and support measures should also be considered.
Migrating knowledge: the global knowledge networks of german medic, botanist and migration commissioner wilhelm hillebrand in hawai‘i (1821-1886)

Taking its lead from my pilot study in the ERC AdG project The Colour of Labour (no. 695573) on the international actors involved in labour migration to 19th-century Hawai‘i, this project researches the intersecting, transnational knowledge networks German medic, botanist and immigration commissioner Wilhelm Hillebrand used to direct the wide-scale migration of bodies, plants, creatures, medicines and techniques to the Hawaiian Islands. With the mentorship of Prof. Dr. Ulrike Linder (University of Cologne), an expert in the history of migration and comparative colonial history, I will gain training through research in the linked study of colonial migration and knowledge in the age of empire. Crossing the history of migration and the history of science, the project tackles the following issues: (i) how transnational scientific actors possessed and performed expertise as part of highly mobile careers in the 19th century; (ii) whether colonial migration was a type of colonial science; (iii) how to analyse the “colonial” in independent Hawai‘i; and (iv) the legacies of European global actor networks in the 19th-century Pacific. The research plan consists of 4 research-based work projects that use close study of Wilhelm Hillebrand’s networking practices to investigate different conjunctures between knowledge, labour and migration in the mid 19th century. Connected research on the careers, biographies, correspondence and ideas of Hillebrand’s global associates will develop insights about the porosity of emerging knowledge forms and scientific networks during the 19th century, and their role in plantation-focused labour migration regimes. Through high-quality mentoring from the supervisor and training in research and transferable skills at the UoC’s Institute of History and Global South Studies Centre, this project will prepare me for employment across Europe in midcareer, tenure-track positions in global history.
A METHOD OF MAINTAINING TEMPERATURE IN A CHAMBER WITHIN A STRUCTURE

A method for maintaining a temperature in a chamber (26) within a structure (1) that is higher than the temperature of the environment. The structure has a surface (18) through which heat from the structure tends to escape to the environment when the temperature of the environment is lower than that within the structure. The method includes: providing within the structure a thermal screen (30) which separates the chamber from most of the surface and from the remainder (28) of the structure that is contiguous with the surface. The thermal screen is located so as to ensure that most of the heat escaping from the chamber passes through the thermal screen into the remainder of the structure; withdrawing heat from the remainder of the structure for reducing temperature difference between the remainder of the structure and the environment. Due to the heat difference, heat transfer from the remainder of the structure to the environment is at least reduced; and releasing into the chamber the heat withdrawn from the remainder of the structure. This, at least partially, compensates for the loss of heat associated with its escape from the chamber into the remainder of the structure.

Astronomical tourism: the beauty of the sky as a resource for territories

There are many treasures in the alpine / sub-alpine territory able to attract tourists;some are already part of the tourist offer of many destinations,others are undergoing discovery and have the potential to develop niche tourism in areas ready to capture its value. One of these treasures is the dark sky, able to offer nocturnal celestial landscapes,such as the Milky Way.It is a rare asset of increasingly difficult availability in urban areas,but still present in rural areas where light pollution is less.The night sky is part of the nature and the landscape that surrounds us, therefore, like the other components of the environment,it deserves to be safeguarded.Light pollution can also threaten the quality of human life and endanger the existence of fauna and flora, even in apparently protected areas.The main goal of this project is to protect and develop the natural and cultural heritage of certain territories by identifying there places/areas and by intervening with some measures and soft actions in order to preserve and enhance them, going to create a tourism sustainable and innovative product related to the observation of the sky,the so called “astro-tourism”. Promoting innovative approaches to a natural and sustainable scientific tourism and a variety of cultural activities these locations could benefit from the presence of tourists attracted by the quality of the night sky during the whole year,with the purpose of a greater spatial distribution and a seasonal adjustment.
Urodynamic Evaluation after High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for Patients with Prostate Cancer

This prospective study assesses the impact of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) on lower urinary tract by comparing pre- and postoperative symptoms and urodynamic changes. Thirty consecutive patients with clinically organ-confined prostate cancer underwent urodynamic study before HIFU and then at 3–6 months after surgery. Continence status and symptoms were analyzed by means of International Prostate Symptoms Score IPSS and International Index Erectile Function IIEF5. As a result, there were a significant improvement in bladder outlet, maximum flow at uroflowmetry, and reduction in postvoid residual PVR at 6-month follow-up and a concomitant significant reduction of detrusor pressure at opening and at maximum flow. De novo overactive bladder and impaired bladder compliance were detected in 10% of patients at 3 months, with progressive improvement at longer follow-up. Baseline prostate volume and length of the procedure were predictors of 6-month IPSS score and continence status. In conclusion, following HIFU detrusor overactivity, decreased bladder compliance and urge incontinence represent de novo dysfunction due to prostate and bladder neck injury during surgery. However, urodynamic study shows a progressive improvement in all storage and voiding patterns at 6-month follow-up. Patients with high prostate volume and long procedure length suffered from irritative symptoms even at long term.
Geographical imaginations and the (geo)politics of volcanic risk: cultures, knowledges, actions

Volcanoes can be cultural symbols, a source of fear, of fascination and of scientific study and a practical problem for civil protection: they involve complex social, cultural and political dynamics, and often have multi-scalar, trans-border impacts. Yet the management of volcanic risk tends to be strongly dependent on uncertain information from physical scientists about volcanic activity, with social scientific studies concentrating on social vulnerability and communication, and there is a relative dearth of studies that address the cultural and (geo)political contexts of scientific knowledge production in particular places. Geographers have explored the role of “geographical imaginations” in scientific discourses in other fields such as climate change: people, including scientists, imagine the social and physical landscapes around them. This project seeks to combine science studies, human geography and disaster risk reduction to provide a holistic approach to volcanic risk, and inform ongoing discussions about scientific advice in disasters more broadly, through a consideration of the geographical imaginations of scientists and populations. It focuses on understanding volcanic and disaster risk as a consequence of complex interactions and relationships between landscape, community, science and politics that blur the boundaries between society and nature. It combines methods from the social and physical sciences in Latin America and East Africa to investigate: (i) the ways in which scientists and people who live on volcanoes interpret and live with their environment; (ii) the interaction of national authorities with these modes of living, and how national borders affect them; (iii) the power dynamics of warnings within these contexts and across them; (iv) the implications of this approach for disaster risk reduction more broadly. Outcomes will include two books, several sets of scientific papers and three international meetings.
System and method for detecting and controlling contraband devices

The growing problem of contraband devices being smuggled into a correctional facility raises both security and safety issue. General fixed contraband detection systems are not cost effective because they require a high up-front cost and high maintenance, training and upgrade cost after installation. The present disclosure provides details of a system and method to detect and control the usage of contraband devices in a correctional facility cost effectively. Such a system is portable and can be relocated to different locations. Such a system both detects contraband devices and disrupts the operations of the contraband devices. Such a system further provides a report on the severity of contraband usage to the correctional facility.
