(Re)politicization of climate change mitigating projects: environmental forms and motives of the Seine Nord Europe canal
Authors: Petitimbert Rémy , Bouleau Gabrielle , Guimont Clémence
Published: April 2022

Climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies are gaining visibility and support. Decision-makers are defending the extension of large infrastructures that are low greenhouse gas (GHG) emitters, as a way to act quickly and massively without calling into question existing economic models. This situation depoliticizes these projects, masking their other ecological consequences such as their impacts on biodiversity. This article examines how promoters of these projects depoliticized its socio-technical futures while other actors re-politicized them. Using the example of the Seine Nord Europe Canal project, we show a politicization of the territorial future and a depoliticization of the environmental future. This depoliticization is based on the techno-optimist discourse promoting large-scale infrastructures as the only possible solution to the global ecological and climate crisis. It uses a selective framing of the environment that makes some elements visible and others invisible. We conducted semi-structured interviews with biodiversity stakeholders in the territories that would be impacted by the canal. Based on the concepts of environmental forms and motives, we reconstructed the environmental ontologies ignored by the dominant discourse and assembled them into three alternative scenarios. We present the method of investigation and identification of these motives and discuss the likelihood of the constructed scenarios participating in a re-politicization based on the reactions of various actors.
Shine a light on papyrus: monitoring the aging process
Authors: Bausch Florian , Owusu Dickson D. , Graf Jörg , Rosenau Thomas , Potthast Antje
Published: April 2022

The aging behavior of ancient papyri is not entirely understood, although such understanding is crucial for tailored conservation concepts to preserve these precious historical documents for the millennia to come. In a study on accelerated aging, the effect of light on papyrus sheets was studied, and the consequences were monitored by a combination of non-invasive and invasive techniques. Papyrus sheets were aged for two months at 90 °C and 50% relative humidity, with and without the influence of light. Changes at the optical, mechanical, and molecular levels were monitored using CIELAB color measurements, tensile tests, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and size exclusion chromatography—multi angle light scattering (SEC-MALS). Light exposure has severe consequences for the optical and mechanical properties of papyri, reflected by a strong decrease in cellulose chain length and tensile strength. SEC-MALS proved to be the best method to assess the conservation status of papyri due to its clear results and low sample demand. This publication seeks to highlight the effects of light-induced degradation of papyri and to facilitate an understanding of the underlying aging mechanisms, to support in future conservation measures.

Graphical Abstract
Impact of Amylose-Amylopectin Ratio of Starches on the Mechanical Strength and Stability of Acetylsalicylic Acid Tablets
Authors: Veronica Natalia , Liew Celine Valeria , Heng Paul Wan Sia
Published: April 2022

The two main components of starch — amylose and amylopectin, are responsible for its interaction with moisture. This study investigated how moisture sorption properties of the starches with different amylose-amylopectin ratio impacted tablet properties including drug stability. The starch samples were equilibrated to 33, 53, and 75% relative humidity (RH) and then assessed for tabletability, compactibility, and yield pressure. Effect of humidity on viscoelastic recovery was also evaluated. Tabletability and compactibility of high-amylose starch were better than that of high-amylopectin starch at 33 and 53% RH. However, at 75% RH, the reverse was observed. In terms of yield pressure, high-amylose starch had lower yield pressure than high-amylopectin starch. High-amylose starch tablets also exhibited lower extent of viscoelastic recovery than high-amylopectin starch tablets. The variations in the tableting properties were found to be related to relative locality of the sorbed moisture. Degradation of acetylsalicylic acid in high-amylose starch tablets at 75% RH, 40°C was less than the tablets with high-amylopectin starch. This observation could be attributed to the greater amount of water molecules binding sites in high-amylose starch. Furthermore, most of the sorbed moisture of high-amylose starch was internally absorbed moisture, therefore limiting the availability of diffusible sorbed moisture for degradation reaction. Findings from this study could provide better insights on the influence of amylose-amylopectin ratio on tableting properties and stability of moisture-sensitive drugs. This is of particular importance as starch is a common excipient in solid dosage forms.
Acute Implantation of a Bioresorbable Polymer Scaffold in Patients With Complete Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury: 24-Month Follow-up From the INSPIRE Study
Authors: Kim Kee D. , Lee K. Stuart , Coric Domagoj , Harrop James S. , Theodore Nicholas , Toselli Richard M.
Published: April 2022

BACKGROUND:

Based on 6-month data from the InVivo Study of Probable Benefit of the Neuro-Spinal Scaffold for Safety and Neurological Recovery in Patients with Complete Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury (INSPIRE) study (NCT02138110), acute implantation of an investigational bioresorbable polymer device (Neuro-Spinal Scaffold [NSS]) appeared to be safe in patients with complete thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) and was associated with an ASIA Impairment Scale (AIS) conversion rate that exceeded historical controls.

OBJECTIVE:

To evaluate outcomes through 24 months postimplantation.

METHODS:

INSPIRE was a prospective, open-label, multicenter, single-arm study. Eligible patients had traumatic nonpenetrating SCI with a visible contusion on MRI, AIS A classification, neurological level of injury at T2-T12, and requirement for open spine surgery ≤96 hours postinjury.

RESULTS:

Nineteen patients underwent NSS implantation. Three patients had early death determined by investigators to be unrelated to the NSS or its implantation procedure. Seven of 16 evaluable patients (44%) had improvement of ≥1 AIS grade at 6 months (primary end point) to AIS B (n = 5) or AIS C (n = 2). Three patients with AIS B at 6 months had further neurological improvement to AIS C by 12 (n = 2) and 24 (n = 1) months, respectively; none have deteriorated per latest available follow-up. No unanticipated or serious adverse device effects were reported.

CONCLUSION

In this small group of patients with complete thoracic SCI, acute NSS implantation within the spinal cord appeared to be safe with no long-term neurological issues identified during the 24-month follow-up. Patients remain stable, with additional AIS conversions observed in some patients at 12 months and beyond. These data further support the safety and probable benefit of NSS implantation in this patient population.
Effects of a parasympathetic blocker on the heart rate of loggerhead sea turtles during voluntary diving
Authors: Saito Ayaka , Kinoshita Chihiro , Kawai Megumi , Fukuoka Takuya , Sato Katsufumi , Sakamoto Kentaro Q.
Published: April 2022

Diving bradycardia is a reduction in the heart rate mediated by the parasympathetic system during diving. Although diving bradycardia is pronounced in aquatic mammals and birds, the existence of this response in aquatic reptiles, including sea turtles, remains under debate. Using the parasympathetic blocker atropine, we evaluated the involvement of the parasympathetic nervous system in heart rate reduction of loggerhead sea turtles (Caretta caretta) during voluntary diving in tanks. The heart rate of the control group dropped by 40–60% from the pre-dive value at the onset of diving; however, administration of atropine significantly inhibited heart rate reduction (P<0.001). Our results indicate that, similar to mammals and birds, the heart rate reduction in sea turtles while diving is primarily mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system. In conclusion, we suggest that diving bradycardia exists not only in aquatic mammals and birds but also in aquatic reptiles.

Authors: Μούργου Αλεξάνδρα
Published: April 2022

Στην παρούσα διατριβή εξετάζεται η εξέλιξη της αστικής λαϊκής μουσικής κι η άνθιση του ρεμπέτικου μέσα από τη συγκρότηση των εργατικών προσφυγικών γειτονιών του Πειραιά, κατά τον Μεσοπόλεμο. Κεντρικός στόχος είναι να αναδείξει τη διαλεκτική σύνδεση ανάμεσα στην εξέλιξη της μουσικής και τη συγκρότηση της πόλης, επιχειρώντας μια χωροκοινωνική ερμηνεία του ρεμπέτικου. Η σύνδεση αυτή αναζητείται στις αθέατες πλευρές της καθημερινότητας των άσημων πρωταγωνιστών των εργατικών και προσφυγικών γειτονιών του Πειραιά και στον τρόπο με τον οποίο συγκροτούνταν πρακτικές και κουλτούρες, οι οποίες σχετίζονται με την άνθιση της αστικής λαϊκής μουσικής, σε διάφορες κλίμακες: από την υπερτοπική κλίμακα της Ανατολικής Μεσογείου μέχρι την τοπική των γειτονιών του Πειραιά και αντίστροφα. Για το σκοπό αυτό, υιοθετείται μια διεπιστημονική μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση, αντλώντας από τα πεδία της ριζοσπαστικής γεωγραφίας, της πολεοδομίας, της εθνομουσικολογίας και της προφορικής ιστορίας. Σε θεωρητικό επίπεδο, οι έννοιες του χώρου, του τόπου και της μουσικής γίνονται αντιληπτές μέσα από τις χωροκοινωνικές διαδικασίες και σχέσεις που αναπτύσσονταν στο χωρικό και χρονικό πλαίσιο του πεδίου έρευνας. Σε εμπειρικό επίπεδο, διερευνώνται οι πολλαπλές διαφορετικές μουσικές και πολιτισμικές πτυχές των γειτονιών στις οποίες εστιάζει η διατριβή (Νέα Κοκκινιά και Δραπετσώνα) αναφορικά με τις χωρικές και κοινωνικές συνθήκες που αναπτύσσονταν σε αυτές.
Risk prediction model for 24-hour mortality in preterm infants using lactate and blood gas analysis: A machine learning approach and retrospective cohort study
Authors: Matsushita Felipe Yu , Krebs Vera Lúcia Jornada , de Carvalho Werther Brunow
Published: April 2022

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the performance of machine learning algorithms using lactate and arterial blood gas parameters to predict the imminent risk of death in extremely low birth weight infants.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study analyzing preterm infants with birth weight less than 1000 grams in a single-center tertiary neonatal intensive care unit in São Paulo, Brazil, between 2012 and 2017 was carried out. We included all infants with at least one arterial blood gas analysis with paired serum lactate. To assess 24-hour mortality risk, we conducted three machine learning algorithms (Logistic Regression, Extreme Gradient Boosting, and AutoML Tables).

Results: We analyzed 1932 blood gas samples with matched lactate measurements. Our study population had a median gestational age of 27.1 (26 – 29.1) weeks and a median birth weight of 746 (600 – 880) grams. The Extreme Gradient Boosting model with lactate achieved the highest area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) of 0.898. Base excess, lactate, and pH were, in order of importance, the most important features associated with 24-hour mortality.

Conclusions: Incorporating lactate and blood gas samples into real-time mortality predictive models may aid to identify those preterm infants with a higher risk of death.

Published: April 2022

Background: To compare the predictors In-hospital mortality of patients with septic Acute Kidney Injury (S-AKI) and non-septic AKI (NS-AKI).

Methods: a cohort study of critically ill patients with AKI admitted to the emergency room at a tertiary hospital from January to June 2019. The primary outcome was hospital mortality.

Results: There were 116 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Compared with NS-AKI, patients with S-AKI had significantly lower mean MAP, median eGFR, and urine output. (UO). S-AKI had higher mortality and vasopressor requirements and had a lower renal recovery than NS-AKI (63.2% vs 31.4%, p=0.001; 30.8% vs 13.7%, p=0.031, and 36.9% vs 60.8%, p=0.011, respectively). AKI stage 3 and vasopressor requirements were dependent risk factors for both S-AKI and NS-AKI mortality. Meanwhile, SOFA score > 7 and the need for dialysis are dependent and independent risk factors for mortality in S-AKI. Worsening and/or persistence in UO, serum urea and creatinine levels at 48 h after admission were predictors of mortality in S-AKI and NS-AKI. Improvement in UO in surviving patients was more pronounced in S-AKI than in NS-AKI (50% vs 17.1%, p=0.007). The surviving S-AKI patients had a longer hospital stay than surviving NS-AKI [8 (6-14.5) vs 5 (4 – 8), p=0.004]. S-AKI have higher mortality and vasopressor requirements and have lower renal recovery than NS-AKI.

Conclusion: S-AKI have higher mortality and vasopressor requirements and a lower renal recovery than NS-AKI. Independent predictors of mortality in S-AKI were high SOFA scores and the need for dialysis.
A prospective cohort study evaluating enhanced addiction medicine curriculum graduate medical education on bias, clinical readiness and future practice
Authors: Squibb Anna , Bussey Adam , Chauvin Bhakti
Published: April 2022

Background

Studies demonstrate gaps in graduate medical education (GME) in treatment of opioid-use disorders (OUD). There is lack of consensus on best practices to address gaps between clinical readiness and community need despite action to improve education. Through enhanced OUD curriculum, we evaluated the impact in bias, clinical readiness, and intent for future practice OUD compared to usual training in a multi-specialty community-based GME Institution between 2018 and 2020.

Objective

Evaluate impact of enhanced OUD training during residency to usual training in GME.  

Methods

Residents and faculty members were voluntarily surveyed at baseline and after 2 years in years 2018 and 2020. Interventions included SAHMSA buprenorphine-waiver training, treatment of OUD with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in the primary care office, and two required addiction medicine rotations. The survey included questions related to bias, self- perceived clinical readiness, faculty teaching self- perceived readiness, and intent for future practice.

Results

Participation in the survey was 29%, 45%, and 48% for the baseline, control group and intervention group, respectively. The enhanced training group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in four out of seven bias questions, six out of eight clinical-readiness questions and intention to utilize MAT in future practice. Additional findings include a decrease in intent to prescribe MAT from the baseline group to the control group over the two-year period.  

Conclusions

Data from this single-institution survey demonstrate that intentional enhanced OUD education can impact resident physician bias, self-perceived clinical readiness, and intent to treat patients with OUD in future practice.

Eschatologia i rewolucja: Modernistyczna idea Dymitra Mereżkowskiego
Authors: Wańczyk Daniel
Published: April 2022

This monograph is an attempt to reconstruct and interpret the ideas of the anarchist theocracy proposed by the Russian writer and philosopher Dmitry Merezhkovsky (1865-1941). These ideas appeared due to the youthful fascination of narodnichestvo and symbolism, and the subsequent criticism of Christianity in the spirit of modernism. The analysis shows how the aesthetic and cultural concept of new religious consciousness, resulting from the Russo-Japanese War and the outbreak of the revolution, transformed into activist eschatology, adopted political, revolutionary and anti-system characteristics, to join the struggle for post-revolution order. Merezhkovsky, by declaring war against the Tsarist autocracy and Orthodoxy, postulated the realization of the theocratic anarchy – God’s Kingdom on earth, free from all forms of dependency and hierarchy, whose fundamental principle would be the love for God and neighbours. This millenarian and messianic goal should be achieved by Merezhkovsky’s cooperation with radical intelligentsia, which under the influence of the author’s Now or never ideas was to experience worldview transformation and overcome its atheism. As we show, the concept did not remain only a theoretical vision, but it was manifested in the form of Merezhkovsky’s close relations with members of the Combat Organization of Socialist Revolutionary Party, with Boris Savinkov in particular, and with whom he proceeded to work on the establishment of the community which aimed at achieving the theocratic anarchy.

CINEMA IN POST-WAR LEGNICA (1945-1950) The publication focuses on the activity of the following cinemas in Legnica from the spring of 1945 to the end of 1950: Polonia [Polish Diaspora] (later Ognisko [Hearth]), Bałtyk [The Baltic] and Piast [Piast], as well as cinemas organised and run by the Group of Northern Forces. So far, this subject has not been adequately discussed, which constitutes a significant gap in the knowledge of the culture and entertainment in Legnica after the war. The publication describes the circumstances of the cinemas’ establishment, organisational changes (including changes of location), as well as their activity and the problems it caused. As far as the available sources allowed, the cinema repertoire of the time has also been analysed. Information on the year of production, original title and director (or directors) are provided for each of the films that were successfully identified.
W ołowianym czasie Apokalipsy. Obraz stanu wojennego w Bez końca Krzysztofa Kieślowskiego
Authors: Preizner Joanna
Published: April 2022

IN THE LEAD TIME OF THE APOCALYPSE: THE PICTURE OF MARTIAL LAW IN NO END BY KRZYSZTOF KIEŚLOWSKI The film by Krzysztof Kieślowski, made in 1984, entitled No End, is one of the first Polish films about the experience of martial law. Although it was made with the awareness of censorship, it shows this period in an extremely bold and true way. Kieślowski does not show iconic images characteristic of the years 1981-1983 – tanks on the streets of Polish cities, soldiers with long weapons warming themselves up by makeshift stoves, scenes of arrests and deaths of oppositionists. By telling about a young woman whose husband, before his death of a heart attack, was a defender of political prisoners, the director, however, perfectly recreates the atmosphere of martial law: a sense of hopelessness and entrapment, attempts to maintain dignity and decency at a time when conformist attitudes were rewarded, and finally – everyday fear and humiliation related to functioning in a totalitarian state. In Kieślowski’s story martial law infects every area of life, it does not allow anyone to forget about it, even for a moment. It is characteristic that there are no winners here – both sides of the political, ethical and ideological dispute feel defeated. “It was a film about the state of our minds and our hopes rather than the fact that it was cold and someone was shooting at us. [...] – Kieślowski said many years later. – The film was against martial law. It showed the defeat of those who led to it and those whom it hurt”.
Corporate Taxes and Firms’ Performance: Evidence from an Emerging Economy
Authors: Iregui-Bohórquez A.M. , Melo-Becerra L. A. , Orozco-Gallo A. J.
Published: April 2022

Corporate taxes play an important role in a firm’s decision-making as they are part of the cost of capital. Thus, understanding the effect of taxes on the performance of firms in the context of frequent tax reforms, as is the case of Colombia, is of great relevance. We used the meta-frontier stochastic techniques, which allow us to estimate in two steps the technical efficiency of firms within each economic sector and between economic sectors in relation to the set of firms in the country. Then, using quantile regression analysis, we estimate both the effect of corporate taxation on firm performance as well as the effect of efficiency on firms’ tax payments. Results indicate that firms in some economic sectors could be benefiting from better production conditions, and that the most efficient firms within each sector paid more taxes as a share of assets. However, when compared to the meta-frontier, firms with higher efficiency paid less taxes, suggesting differences in the firms’ tax burden across economic sectors.

Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is one of the efforts to achieve sustainability goals regarding the quality of education. Of course, the teacher is the main agent in the success of this ESD. Therefore, the Asia Pacific ESD teacher competencies were formed called Connect, Collaborate, and Engage competencies, where teachers in schools, teachers in the community, and teachers as individuals are able to become teachers who have a leadership spirit. This study aims to provide information on the extent to which these competencies are implemented. The research method used is a combination research method. Data collection techniques by providing questionnaires and interviews conducted on elementary school teachers in Peunduey Village, Garut Regency. The questionnaires data was analyzed using the Winstep application with the Rasch model, for interview data it was analyzed using qualitative data analysis techniques according to Miles & Huberman. The results showed that the teacher with the highest ability was obtained by the 0LDTE teacher.Â  For the teacher with the lowest ability obtained by the 4PDRE teacher. The most difficult statement to implement is the L4 statement about finding the main stakeholders, meaning that teachers have not been able to relate and find the main stakeholders in education. The easiest statement to implement is the N4 statement about building trust and maintaining relationships, reciprocal care, and negotiating in conflict situations, which means the teacher always consults, maintains relationships, and solves problems in conflict situations. Overall competency implementation is 73%,.

Routine ultrasound for suspected appendicitis in children: a single-centre retrospective cohort study

Published: April 2022

Introduction

Appendicitis continues to be a common surgical emergency in children, but its diagnosis remains challenging. Use of diagnostic imaging to confirm appendicitis has gained popularity in some countries because it is associated with lower negative appendicectomy rates. This study reports our centre’s experience of adopting routine ultrasound for the investigation of suspected appendicitis in children.

Methods

A single-centre retrospective cohort study was performed investigating all children aged 5–16 years admitted under surgeons with suspected appendicitis, in January–December 2019. Primary outcomes were the rate of ultrasound use, its accuracy in diagnosing/excluding appendicitis and negative appendicectomy rate. Other outcomes were treatment received, length of stay and complications.

Results

The majority of the 193 children with suspected appendicitis underwent a diagnostic ultrasound (87.5%). Ultrasound was highly sensitive (0.90, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.81–0.96) and specific (1.0, 95% CI 0.96–1.0) for appendicitis in this study. Negative appendicectomy rate was extremely low (1.4%). Laparoscopic appendicectomy was the preferred management (75/86), with one case started open and no conversions to open. A minority of cases of simple appendicitis (10/86) were treated primarily with antibiotics. Rates of complex appendicitis and postoperative complications were similar to other studies.

Conclusion

Ultrasound can be highly sensitive and specific for appendicitis. Its routine use to confirm appendicitis prior to surgery is associated with a low negative appendicectomy rate. This is a major change in practice for a general surgical unit in the United Kingdom.
Need for tracheostomy in major head and neck ablative surgery: a paradigm shift during the COVID-19 pandemic
Authors: Quach H , McGuire B , Wallace C , Shekar K
Published: April 2022

Introduction

Management of the airway in the perioperative period for patients requiring major head and neck ablative surgery has commonly included the performance of elective surgical tracheostomy. This has been standard practice in most maxillofacial units across the UK, including ours. However, the COVID-19 pandemic and emerging guidelines on aerosol-generating procedures required us to revisit the need for a perioperative tracheostomy.

Methods

We present our series of 29 consecutive cases, cared for during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, that were managed either using surgical tracheostomy or overnight tracheal intubation.

Results

Out of 29 patients 3 received a surgical tracheostomy. The average duration of tracheostomy use was 8 days. Twenty patients were managed using a period of overnight tracheal intubation. Average duration of tracheal intubation was 1.2 days, with an average intensive care unit stay of 1.7 days. The average duration of hospital stay was 15.8 days for patients managed with overnight tracheal intubation and 30.1 days for patients who received a surgical tracheostomy. The return to theatre rate was 13.8% for reasons including flap failure and neck space infection. There were no airway issues reported in this series of patients.

Conclusions

Our findings suggest that overnight tracheal intubation can be a safe alternative to surgical tracheostomy in the majority of cases.
Changes in orthopaedic operating theatre practice, monitored using settle plates
Authors: Thomas AM , Wilkinson MAC , Garvey MI
Published: April 2022

Introduction

The importance of ultraclean air in reducing deep infection was studied by Charnley who showed that the rate decreased as the airborne bacterial load was reduced. The effectiveness was shown in a large Medical Research Council (MRC) trial, but registry data have not shown a consistent benefit. Because we treat patients with rheumatoid arthritis, we decided to look at our theatre air quality.

Methods

In phase 1 we monitored air quality using settle plates, exposed for one hour after the incision, on the instrument trolleys in a joint replacement theatre. In phase 1 the scrub person did not wear a body exhaust system. In phase 2 all three staff used a body exhaust system, and we played close attention to the orientation and position of the surgical lights and trolleys.

Results

In phase 1 we grew 0.24 colonies/plate/hour in the ultraclean zone, which is comparable to the Charnley trial findings. In the second phase we grew 0.03 colonies/plate/hour (p<0.001). When plates were placed on the trolleys in controlled positions there was a tendency for the colonies to appear on the corners of the trolleys at the edge of the clean zone (NS).

Discussion

The study showed that in phase 1 colony counts comparable to the original Charnley studies were achieved. Colony counts of 0.03 colonies/plate/hour can be achieved in contemporary practice, with all team members using body exhausts.

El camí que han de seguir les regles franceses de catalogació : quines conseqüències tindran les diferents possibilitats d'evolució?
Authors: Leresche Françoise
Published: April 2022

Objectiu: Analitzar la situació actual de la normativa francesa de catalogació en relació a l’evolució internacional de les regles de catalogació per tal de veure quines orientacions han de prendre.
 Metodologia: Anàlisi de contingut de les normatives internacionals (Principis internacionals de catalogació, de la ISBD “consolidada”, i de la RDA) i de les 18 normes de catalogació franceses (descripció bibliogràfica, encapçalaments, accés a la descripció, i classificació bibliogràfica).
 Resultats: Es posen de manifest les dues opcions possibles: mantenir una referència directa a les ISBD (i, per tant, a les recomanacions de l’IFLA) o adoptar RDA, la qual cosa seria una ruptura radical amb el què s’ha fet a França fins al moment present. Es valoren amb detall els avantatges i inconvenients d’ambdues opcions quedant en aquests moments en l’aire quina serà la solució adoptada.
