Authors: Bezerra Anderson , Charbel Miguel
Published: August 2020

Introdução: A Pista de Pentatlo Militar é composta por diversos obstáculos que requer explosão e força dos membros inferiores dos atletas. Sabe-se das características fisiológicas que proporcionam um bom desempenho nos saltos verticais, porém a literatura é carente na associação dessas características com o bom desempenho na PPM.Objetivo: O presente estudo investigou a influência da ação dos membros superiores e do índice elástico na capacidade de execução de saltos verticais da equipe de Pentatlo Militar do Brasil.Métodos: Participaram do estudo quatro atletas de Pentatlo Militar da equipe do Brasil, saudáveis e experientes, adaptadas ao treinamento pliométrico. Foram executados três diferentes tipos de saltos, squat jump, Salto com contramovimento e Abalakov. Foi possível observar a contribuição dos braços, índice elástico e contribuição elástica das atletas. Cada indivíduo realizou um total de seis séries de salto, sendo dois para cada tipo, realizados de maneira randômica, sem a possibilidade de realizar o mesmo tipo de salto em duas séries consecutivas. Foi respeitado o intervalo de 2 minutos entre cada série de saltos, em cada um dos testes a maior altura atingida foi atribuída para aquela modalidade de salto. Para observar a distribuição de todos os saltos, foi utilizado o teste de Shapiro-Wilk e pela presença de amostras não paramétricas, dados ordinais, com um número superior de duas amostras foi elegido o teste Kruskal-Wallis. Foi realizado o teste de Spearman para observar a diferença entre os dados de cada tipo de salto e entre todos os dados de uma mesma atleta. Os melhores tempos das atletas na PPM foram adquiridos com a comissão técnica da equipe de Pentatlo do Brasil.Resultados: Os saltos utilizando os membros superiores e o ciclo excêntico-concêntrico alcançaram os maiores saltos entre os três diferentes citados.Conclusão: Verificou-se a influência dos braços e dos elementos elásticos dos músculos para a realização de um melhor salto vertical, consolidando a importância dos treinamentos pliométricos para o ganho de força e explosão. Porém, não foi possível estabelecer uma relação entre esses elementos e um melhor desempenho na PPM.

Authors: Júnior Pedro , Bini Rodrigo
Published: August 2020

Introdução: Tendo em vista a ampla gama de opções de calçados destinados a realização da atividade física, há necessidade do conhecimento das implicações do uso destes durante o exercício.Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar e comparar a transmissão da força de reação do solo durante a fase de saída do pé na marcha com a utilização de um coturno e um tênis militar.Métodos: O estudo envolveu a participação de 10 militares saudáveis e sem sintomas ou lesões musculoesqueléticas que interferissem na marcha. Os participantes realizaram três testes de avaliação da marcha, consistindo na caminhada em velocidade controlada de 5 ±0,25 km/h, sobre uma passarela nivelada de madeira onde duas plataformas de força captaram os componentes da força de reação do solo. Em cada teste, os participantes realizaram 10 passagens descalços, 10 passagens com o tênis militar e 10 passagens com o coturno. A transmissão de força entre o solo e o solado dos calçados foi determinada a partir da maior variação da força de reação do solo durante a fase de propulsão, sendo esta medida equalizada pela transmissão de força mensurada durante a caminhada sem o uso do calçado. Após a verificação e confirmação da normalidade na distribuição dos dados, a transmissão de força foi comparada utilizando teste t de Student para amostras não-pareadas, com análise bilateral, sendo associados à avaliação da magnitude das diferenças (effect sizes – ES), realizada segundo Cohen. Efeitos substanciais foram considerados quando grandes magnitudes de diferença (ES>0,8) e p<0,05 foram observados.Resultados: A velocidade durante a caminhada no teste não diferiu entre os testes descalço e com tênis militar (p=0,20 e ES=0,60), entre o coturno e descalço (p=0,43 e ES=0,37) e entre os participantes que estavam com o tênis militar e de coturno (p=0,43 e ES=0,38). Também, não houve diferença para a transmissão de força durante a fase de saída do pé do solo (p=0,10 e ES= 0,50).Conclusão: A transmissão de força de reação do solo durante a fase de saída do pé do solo não apresentou diferenças significantes entre o tênis e o coturno fornecido pela cadeia de suprimento, se assemelhando durante a marcha.

Authors: Martins Diogo , Neves Ângela
Published: August 2020

Introdução: A motivação no contexto esportivo internacional torna-se cada vez mais um tema de relevante interesse na busca de melhores resultados, entre outras consequências. No âmbito nacional, o assunto ainda é pouco estudado e desenvolvido.Objetivo: Realizar uma revisão sistemática das escalas atitudinais auto preenchíveis disponíveis no Brasil para avaliar motivação no contexto esportivo, a fim de oferecer aos pesquisadores brasileiros as informações sobre as qualidades psicométricas dos mesmos, o que é um material relevante no processo de seleção dos métodos de pesquisa e intervenção em psicologia do esporte.Métodos: A pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada incluindo os títulos publicados até setembro de 2015. A busca eletrônica resultou em um total de 658 referências. A seleção final foi definida por meio de consenso entre os dois pesquisadores independentes e resultou em quatro estudos.Resultados: Os estudos psicométricos para escala de motivação no contexto esportivo selecionados não investigaram aspectos de validade importantes (como validade de critérios e de constructo), fizeram análises parciais de confiabilidade interna e ainda, houve alguns equívocos metodológicos na extração da estrutura fatorial das escalas.Conclusão: Há uma carência de estudos psicométricos no Brasil de escalas que avaliem outras dimensões da motivação, que não aquela voltada aos motivos de praticar atividade física e/ou esporte. Além disso, existe a necessidade de validar instrumentos em amostras de referência de atletas de variadas modalidades.
Efeito agudo do exercício contrarresistência com restrição do fluxo sanguíneo sobre o volume sanguíneo no modo isocinético
Authors: Rocha Thierry , Meirelles Cláudia
Published: August 2020

Introdução: O treinamento contrarresistência vem despertando o interesse das pessoas de uma forma geral por trazer diversos benefícios à saúde e melhorar a imagem corporal. Esse exercício, realizado com restrição do fluxo sanguíneo, por utilizar cargas de baixa intensidade, pode ser uma alternativa para indivíduos intolerantes aos protocolos tradicionais. Embora existam na literatura estudos envolvendo exercício contrarresistência com restrição do fluxo sanguíneo, ainda não estão claros os seus mecanismos agudos que levam a ganhos de força e hipertrofia muscular.Objetivo: Verificar o efeito agudo do exercício contrarresistência com restrição do fluxo sanguíneo sobre o volume sanguíneo no modo isocinético.Métodos: Foram estudados 10 voluntários, do sexo masculino (idade 18,6 ± 0,5 anos; massa corporal 67,6 ± 8,3 kg; estatura 175,1 ± 6,3 cm; % gordura 8,6 ± 2,9). Foi aferida, por meio de Doppler na artéria poplítea, a pressão de oclusão total (161,0 ± 16,3 mmHg) para que fosse utilizada a pressão de RFS a 50% (80,5 ± 8,3 mmHg) na execução das séries. O teste de força seguiu o seguinte protocolo: três séries de cinco repetições máximas; 50% RFS, velocidade angular de 60o/s, com intervalo de um minuto entre as séries, modo concêntrico/concêntrico. Para monitorar o volume sanguíneo foi utilizada a espectroscopia no infravermelho próximo (NIRS) técnica óptica e não invasiva nos membros inferiores, experimental e controle. O tratamento estatístico utilizado para comparar alterações de volume sanguíneo foi a ANOVA dois x três (condição x séries, com medidas repetidas no segundo fator). O nível de significância foi de 0,05.Resultados: Foi verificada uma diminuição do volume sanguíneo durante as séries e um aumento durante as recuperações. Esse efeito foi estatisticamente significativo entre as séries, em ambas as condições, com e sem restrição do fluxo sanguíneo. Contudo, não foi estatisticamente significativo entre as condições.Conclusão: Como não foi possível verificar diferenças significativas entre as condições com e sem RFS, sugerimos que mais estudos devam ser realizados para se chegar a uma conclusão.

Introdução: O exercício com restrição de fluxo sanguíneo (RFS) tem se mostrado eficiente para o treinamento de indivíduos incapazes de realizar exercícios de alta intensidade, tendo, no entanto, resultados similares ou melhores que os de alta intensidade. Vários são os mecanismos estudados para explicar os ganhos nesse tipo de exercício, no entanto, ainda não há respostas fisiológicas claras que expliquem o fenômeno. As respostas hemodinâmicas advindas da RFS em exercícios ainda deixam lacunas na literatura científica.Objetivo: Analisar as respostas de volume sanguíneo em exercício contrarresistência em cadeira extensora com restrição de fluxo sanguíneo no modo isotônico.Métodos: Foram estudados 12 voluntários do sexo masculino (idade 18,7 ±0,5 anos; massa corporal 66,9 ±8,0 kg; estatura 174,9 ±7,2 cm; % gordura 9,2 ±3,5) sem experiência em TCR. Antes da coleta foi realizado o protocolo de 1RM para extensão unilateral de joelho bem como aferida, na artéria poplítea, a pressão de oclusão total (M=160 + 15,8 mmHg) para que fosse utilizada a pressão de RFS a 50% (80 + 7,9 mmHg) na execução das séries. 1º dia: explicação e assinatura do TCLE; antropometria; aferição das pressões totais e parciais de fluxo sanguíneo findando com a familiarização. 2º dia: Teste propriamente dito com o seguinte protocolo: 3 séries de 15 repetições; 50% RFS a 30% de 1RM com intervalos de 30 segundos entre as séries e 3 minutos ao final. Foi utilizado a análise de variância (ANOVA) 2 x 3, condição x tempo, com medidas repetidas no segundo fator; post-hoc Bonferroni para identificação de possíveis diferenças nas respostas monitoradas durante as séries e os intervalos de recuperação nas condições com e sem RFS.Resultados: Foi identificado efeito principal do tempo (p<0,05), sem interação significativa entre as condições com e sem restrição de fluxo sanguíneo (p>0,05).Conclusão: De acordo com os resultados encontrados não houve diferença significativa entre as condições com e sem RFS, o que sugere que novos estudos sejam feitos.

Authors: Tudose Eugenia Teodora Iacob , Mindru Tudor Balau , Mamaliga Ioan
Published: August 2020

Seven new different thermo-insulating materials based on wool and /or skin wastes were obtained. To emphasize this capability, the effective thermal diffusivities were determined at a material moisture content of 10%, in a temperature range of 10 to 40oC. Depending on the material composition, the results showed that the effective thermal diffusivity varies between the limits of 6E-8 and 8.5E-8 m2/s. The smallest values were obtained for the untreated wool and for the material obtained from both untreated wool and finished leather powder. The obtained values underline the fact that the investigated materials can be used to obtain composites with good thermo-insulating properties.

Simultaneous saturation of the metallic surface with sulphur, nitrogen and carbon � named sulphonitrocarburizing (SNC) process - may be carried out in a multitude of variants, differ in media state of aggregation which provide the elements in native state, or differ in phase composition. The most commonly used media in SNC process are liquid or gaseous and from standpoint of phase composition, there are media made of compounds generator of the cyanides, representing important source of carbon and nitrogen, and as a sulphur source, may be used iron sulphide, sodium sulphide, sodium thiocyanides or ammonium. Carbamide/urea (CON2H4) it is frequently used in the media composition met in nitro-carburizing or carbo-nitriding process, alongside being added carbonates (sodium or potassium carbonate), thus resulting in cyanides (primary sources of the elements helping superficial saturation of the metallic products), as a result of the reactions which take place at the operating temperature of process. The medium toxicity decreased, based on carbamide used in nitrocarburizing and in particular, SNC process, being possible by carbonates replacing with ammonium chloride. This paper quantify the possibility of using solid powder mixture constituted of carbamide, in order to achieve SNC process of the iron matrix and effects quantification varying the percentage of the solid powdery mixture, so that it becomes possible to control the layer phase composition, by modifying the phase composition of the powder mixture used in thermo chemical processing.

Published: August 2020

In this paper is presented a theoretical study of chemical reactivity on the formation of four proteinogenic amino acids: cysteine, aspartic acid, asparagine and threonine. According to a theoretical model based on three syntons: methylene, nitrene and carbon monoxide at low temperatures, aziridinone would be formed first. This one, with methylene and carbon monoxide forms further the precursors intermediates of these four proteinogenic amino acids. Finally, the precursors in reaction with water, a key component of the primary atmosphere, lead to amino acids specified above. The study is mainly based on quantum mechanical calculations, B88-LYP DFT. Methylaziridonil, aziridonilacetyl and ethylaziridonil radicals should be formed at low temperature, which finally in reaction with water will form cysteine, aspartic acid, asparagine and threonine.

Published: August 2020

Peritonitis remains, despite the diagnostic and therapeutic developments, a serious condition, the main cause of septic shock with lethal potential in abdominal surgery Identifying and characterizing the dynamics of early biomarkers of the inflammatory response in abdominal sepsis is important to better follow-up evolution and postoperative infectious complications. The paper aims to study the dynamics of serum concentration of biomarkers LBP, IL6 and bilirubin in patients with acute peritonitis of appendicular cause, in the pre and postoperative stage and the correlation with the clinical evolution of inflammatory syndrome. A prospective 6-month study was performed, including patients for appendicular peritonitis. LBP, IL6, bilirubin, leukocytes were sampled preoperatively, then postoperatively at 72 h, and repeated at 72 h until values returned to normal. Clinical evolution and leukocytes were correlated with biochemical parameters. The mean preoperative values for the studied biochemical parameters were for Il6 of 14.81 +/- 4,047 pg / mL, for LBP of 33,826 +/- 5.5.02 microgram / mL and for bilirubin of 1.77 +/- 0.55mg / mL. The postoperative values decreased in all cases, but remained above normal limits in cases with septic complications. LBP, Il 6 and bilirubin are biomarkers useful in the pre- and postoperative evaluation of sepsis in appendicular peritonitis, correlating more accurately with the evolution of the inflammatory response than leukocytosis. Bilirubin is useful in monitoring intraperitoneal infection, but is not influenced by the existence of extraperitoneal infection. The dynamics of LBP is the most accurate description of bacterial infectious factor exposure.

The aim of the article was to determine the association between neutrophil to lymphocyte-ratio (NLR), clinical disease severity and joint effusion in patients with early knee osteoarthritis. We evaluated 79 patients with mild knee degeneration. We obtained NLR from routine hematology panels. As controls, 1260 hematology panels were also obtained. Clinical severity was evaluated from patient reported outcome scores: International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Evaluation Form, Knee Disability And Osteoarthritis Outcome Score For Joint Replacement, Tegner-Lysholm scale and Euroqol EQ-5D-5L questionnaire. Joint effusion was determined by ultrasound. For the statistics software R, version 3.4.4 was used. There were differences in demographics but not in NLR between the study patients and controls (2.03 versus 1.98, p=0.606). There was no correlation between NLR and joint effusion (r2= - 0.121) or between NLR, joint effusion and any other parameter recorded (r2 from - 0.134 to 0.190). In the multiple regression model, NLR was minimally influenced by age (p=0.059) and KOOSJR (p=0.023). Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is within normal limits in patients with early stage knee osteoarthritis and is not associated with clinical severity or with joint effusion.

Folates participate in DNA replication reactions, act as a substrate in enzymatic reactions related to amino acid synthesis and vitamin metabolism while antifolates participate in reactions that inhibit the formation of tetrahydrofolate with consequences on protein and nucleic acid synthesis and implicitly on growth and development both types of cells, healthy and diseased. In the present study, the viability of healthy cells, keratinocytes and human fibroblasts was evaluated in the presence of three folates (folic, dihydrofolic and tetrahydrofolic acids), one antifolate (methotrexate) and combinations between them by Alamar blue assay. The antiangiogenic potential was also evaluated by in ovo technique, CAM assay. Cell viability was influenced in a cell-dependent and dose-dependent manner, fibroblasts being more sensitive to the action of the test compounds, especially the combination of metrotrexate and dihydrofolate. Data related to CAM assay showed that methotrexate revealed a slightly higher vessel density, but without inducing toxicity on vascular architecture and functionality. The data obtained highlight the greater sensitivity of the viability of fibroblasts in the presence of metrotrexate and its combinations with folates used in the study.

Published: August 2020

2D materials such as hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are widely used to decouple organic molecules from metal substrates. Nevertheless, there are also indications in the literature for a significant hybridization, which results in a perturbation of the intrinsic molecular properties. In this work we study the electronic and optical properties as well as the lateral structure of tetraphenyldibenzoperiflanthene (DBP) on Ni(111) with and without an atomically thin h-BN interlayer to investigate its possible decoupling effect. To this end, we use in situ differential reflectance spectroscopy as an established method to distinguish between hybridized and decoupled molecules. By inserting an h-BN interlayer we fabricate a buried interface and show that the DBP molecules are well decoupled from the Ni(111) surface. Furthermore, a highly ordered DBP monolayer is obtained on h-BN/Ni(111) by depositing the molecules at a substrate temperature of 170 °C. The structural results are obtained by quantitative low-energy electron diffraction and low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy. Finally, the investigation of the valence band structure by ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy shows that the low work function of h-BN/Ni(111) further decreases after the DBP deposition. For this reason, the h-BN-passivated Ni(111) surface may serve as potential n-type contact for future molecular electronic devices.

Authors: SHEVCHENKO Inna , PLAKHTII Anastasiia
Published: August 2020

Introduction. The automotive industry traditionally belongs to the innovation-active subsectors, where a large number of product and process innovations are produced annually, many newest engineering solutions are put into practice. In scientific literature there are numerous studies of innovation and investment potential at the macro, meso and micro levels of its manifestation, but scientists have not yet paid attention to the innovation and investment potential of the automotive industry.
The purpose of the paper is development and testing the methodological tools for integral assessment of innovation and investment potential of the automotive industry.
Results. In the article the authors propose an integral index of innovation and investment potential of automotive enterprises and a scale of interpretation of the values of this indicator. The integral assessment of innovation and investment potential of the automotive industry of Ukraine in the period 2014-2018 is done, in particular such automakers as: PJSC “Zaporizhzhya automobile plant”, сorporation “Bogdan”, PrJSC “Eurocar”, PrJSC “AvtoKrAZ”, PrJSC “BAZ”, PrJSC “Chasivoyarsky buses”, PrJSC “Chernihiv automobile plant”, PJSC “Cherkasy bus”. It was revealed that currently the leader of innovation and investment development of the automotive industry of Ukraine is PrJSC “Eurocar”, which is characterized by a high level of innovation and investment potential. This situation is due to the traditionally effective partnership on the basis of franchising and car assembly activities of PrJSC “Eurocar” with leading foreign automakers such as Škoda Auto, Volkswagen AG, Hyundai Motor Company. Other domestic automakers are characterized by an average level of innovation and investment potential, except for PrJSC “BAZ”, which is currently characterized by a low level of innovation and investment potential.
Conclusion. In the period 2014-2018, the stimulators of the innovation and investment potential of the automotive industry of Ukraine were indicators of the cost of implemented investment projects, capital efficiency, material efficiency and productivity. Instead, mainly the destructive influence on the integral index of innovation and investment potential of the automotive industry of Ukraine in 2014-2018 was carried out by indicators of management efficiency, introduction of innovations, profitability of activity.

Authors: BONDARENKO Olha , MASIUK Iryna
Published: August 2020

Introduction. The share of receivables and payables in the structure of the balance sheet has a high percentage, which certainly affects the production process as a whole. Every receivable is someone's accounts payable and vice versa. Each company faced non-payment of debts in any direction. In this article, we will consider the control over settlements with counterparties and the procedure for writing off and forming bad receivables and payables.
The purpose of the paper is to study the audit process at the enterprise in the section of receivables and payables. Identify the processes of writing off bad debts.
Results. The audit of accounts payable and receivable is relevant in connection with the introduction of the International Accounting Standards in the management of the enterprise, the constant change in the legal framework of Ukraine. Settlements with debtors and creditors for goods and services have a significant impact on the functional activities of the enterprise, so when the audit firm checks all the nuances of accounting in this area, the main factor of fair conclusions is the provision of reliable information. The main source of information is financial statements, where receivables have a significant share in the assets of the balance sheet, and accounts payable in the liabilities of the balance sheet.
Conclusion. Debt write-off is an important component in settlements with counterparties. More often than not, we are faced with bad debts. For the correctness of the display of information and write-off of receivables, the company creates a reserve of doubtful debts, which is reflected in account 38 "Reserve of doubtful debts". To write off accounts payable, the company must have important evidence, documents that are approved in accordance with the law.
Property as an economic category
Authors: HROMOVYI Yaroslav
Published: August 2020

Introduction. Property is a multifaceted phenomenon, so that, even within one science, there is no general concept that would reflect its meaning. At the same time, we are of the opinion that the most important aspects of property for modern society are economic and legal, despite the fact that property, first of all, was considered as a philosophical category. In scientific sources, the commonality of features that characterize the property on the legal side (possession, use and disposal), is called the legal (legal) category, and economic (the desire to own goods (both tangible and intangible), the relationship between owners, owner and direct producer of goods (subject-subject relations)) - economic category.
The purpose of the paper is to consider the essence of property as an economic category.
Results. Analyzing the category of «property» from an economic point of view, we can identify its basic basis: the relationship of different owners with each other, as well as owners and direct producers of goods. In the «owner – owner» relationship, we observe the economic process of exchange of goods. At the same time, the owner-non-owner relationship is non-economic, so it is not the subject of economists' research. The relationship between different owners, as well as owners and direct producers of goods is the material basis of our society.
Conclusion. Property as an economic category is characterized by: first, the result of the manifestation of the subject of his will - the desire to own the goods of the world; secondly, goods both material and non-material; third, the social relations and interrelationships of the owners among themselves, as well as the owners and direct producers of goods.
Problems and ways to improve accounting for cash transactions
Authors: MATKIVSKA Tetiana , POPOVYCH Oksana
Published: August 2020

Money belongs to the category that has always been quite relevant in economic thought. Cash is considered the most liquid assets of the enterprise. Without their continuous cyclical movement, no business entity can function. In the current market conditions, most companies lack cash assets, so it is important to have the ability to rationally distribute and use them. To do this, it is necessary to properly organize the accounting of funds, constantly improve it, as well as be able to identify and solve problems that may arise when accounting for cash transactions.
The purpose of the paper is to highlight the problems and develop proposals for improving the organization and methods of accounting for cash transactions.
The paper considers the essence of cash assets, cash payments and cashless payments. The components of cash assets are described.

A Trigeminal Schwannoma Masked by Solely
Vestibulocochlear Symptoms
Authors: Evans Lauran K. , Peraza Lazaro , Zamboni Anthony
Published: August 2020

Background Intracranial schwannomas are
most commonly associated with the
vestibulocochlear nerve, often leading to hearing
loss, tinnitus, and vestibular dysfunction. Much
less often, a schwannoma can arise from the
trigeminal nerve which can lead to facial pain,
numbness, and weakness.

Purpose We explored a case of a patient
with an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-confirmed
trigeminal schwannoma that was mistaken for a
vestibulocochlear schwannoma because of a myriad
of ipsilateral vestibulocochlear
symptoms.

Research Design This is a retrospective
chart review and case study, with no statistics
applied.

Results This diagnostic error led to
clinical confusion and inaccurate medical
record-keeping. Radiologists and radiation
oncologists deemed the patient's symptoms to be
unrelated to the asymptomatic trigeminal
schwannoma, and she was referred to an
otolaryngologist following complaints of ear
fullness, ear pain, and hearing loss. The
patient's audiogram showed ipsilateral, asymmetric
sensorineural hearing loss, and she was diagnosed
with concurrent Meniere's disease. Alternative
explanations, such as an additional schwannoma or
external compression of the vestibulocochlear
nerve, were considered, but not apparent on
MRI.

Conclusions From this case, we see that
symptoms do not always concur with imaging results
and that multiple etiologies, especially when one
is rare, can confuse a clinical picture.
Benefits in Speech Recognition in Noise
with Remote Wireless Microphones in Group
Settings
Authors: Thibodeau Linda M.
Published: August 2020

Background Although hearing aids (HAs)
and cochlear implants (CIs) can provide
significant benefits to persons with hearing loss,
users frequently report difficulty hearing in
noisy environments, particularly when there are
multiple talkers. Little is known about the
benefits provided by currently available wireless
microphones in multitalker situations.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to
compare the benefits received in speech
recognition in noise by adults with hearing loss
when using two different wireless microphone types
in a simulated group setting.

Research Design A quasi-experimental,
repeated-measures design was used where
performance in a control condition, HA/CI alone,
was compared with performance in two wireless
microphone intervention conditions.

Study Sample Participants included ten
listeners, aged 20-92 years, with bilateral
sensorineural hearing loss who were experienced HA
or CI users.

Intervention The two wireless microphones
by Phonak, Roger Pen, and Roger Select used the
same digital modulation protocol to transmit the
signal to compatible receivers. However, the Roger
Pen operated in a fixed omnidirectional mode,
whereas the Roger Select operated in an adaptive
directional mode.

Data Collection and Analysis Participants
were asked to repeat Hearing in Noise Test
sentences presented in restaurant noise in three
conditions: HA/CI alone, HA/CI with a Roger Pen,
or HA/CI with a Roger Select microphone placed in
the center of a round table. Sentences were
presented from one of five loudspeakers equally
spaced with the participant, while restaurant
noise was presented on each side at four
signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), including +5, 0,
−5, and −10 dB. A two-way, repeated-measures
analysis of variance was performed with main
effects of listening condition and noise
level.

Results Significantly  greater speech
recognition performance was achieved with the
wireless microphones than with listening with just
the HA or CI. Furthermore, at the −5- and −10-dB
SNR conditions, the Roger Select resulted in
significantly better performance than the Roger
Pen microphone.

Conclusions The results suggest that the
Roger Select microphone can provide significant
benefits in speech recognition in noise over the
use of HA/CI alone (61%) and also significant
benefits over the use of a Roger Pen (16%) in a
simulated group dining experience.
Acheter en ligne des produits culturels, 2010-2018
Authors: Thoumelin Claire
Published: August 2020

Avec 87 % de foyers connectés à internet en 2018 dont 80 % bénéficient d’une connexion à haut débit, la massification du multi-équipement en smartphone, ordinateur et écran et le développement des sites de commerce en ligne, comment les pratiques d’achat des Français ont-elles évolué depuis 2010 ? L’enquête annuelle sur les technologies de l’information et de la communication menée par l’Insee fournit des informations relatives au profil des acheteurs en ligne et en particulier ceux qui achètent des biens et services culturels en ligne, et l’évolution de leur part dans la population depuis 2010. En 2010, parmi les 70 % d’internautes, 48 % ont réalisé un achat en ligne dans l’année dont 29 % un achat culturel ; en 2018, parmi les 86 % d’internautes, 61 % ont réalisé un achat en ligne dans l’année dont 32 % un achat culturel. Marqué par des effets d’âge et de diplôme, l’achat en ligne progresse au sein de la population française et se démocratise. L’achat de biens et services culturels, en revanche, marque le pas au cours de la décennie et le profil des acheteurs évolue peu. Il diffère cependant selon les biens acquis : jeux vidéo, billets de spectacles, livres ou journaux n’attirent pas les mêmes profils d’acheteurs en ligne.
Expérience esthétique et médiations thérapeutiques au musée
Authors: Baujard Corinne
Published: August 2020

Cet article s’interroge sur la relation entre l’expérience esthétique qu’offre le musée et la transformation de soi au contact d’œuvres qui bouleversent notre regard sur le monde. Une thérapie reposant sur des émotions esthétiques peut-elle contribuer au soin ou au rétablissement d’une personne, en associant l’expérience de l’art à une démarche de guérison ou d’intégration sociale ? Le musée peut-il soigner et devenir thérapeute ? Sa visite permet-elle d’engager un travail sur soi et contribuer à un bien-être personnel ? Une approche compréhensive biographique en sciences de l’éducation et une expérience d’engagement lors de l’exposition « Art brut du Japon, un autre regard » au musée de Lausanne (2018-2019) permettent d’appréhender les œuvres d’artistes autodidactes. La visite construit, forme autant qu’elle surprend, dérange nos savoirs communs par l’ingéniosité des supports employés à des fins de rétablissement personnel. Autant d’occasions d’ouvrir les voies d’une recherche sur la pratique du soin au musée et le rapport à soi et au monde qui s’y institue.
François Mitterrand en Suisse : une amitié au défi de la construction européenne (1989-1993)
Authors: Nançoz Bastien
Published: August 2020

François Mitterrand fut un ami sincère de la Suisse, où il se rendit à quatre reprises entre 1989 et 1993. Son discours profondément européen trouva un écho favorable dans un pays réticent devant une Europe fondée sur le duo franco-allemand. Malgré l’attention que le président français lui accorda, la Suisse manqua son rendez-vous avec l’Europe en 1992, lors de son rejet de l’Espace économique européen (EEE). Cet échec ne fit pourtant pas perdre espoir à François Mitterrand de voir la Suisse prendre un jour une part active au grand dessein européen. L’analyse des quatre visites du président Mitterrand en Suisse se fonde sur des archives restées inexploitées jusqu’à ce jour et pose un jalon dans la recherche sur le mitterrandisme, l’intégration européenne et les relations bilatérales franco-suisses.
Géographie, photographie, polygraphie : retour sur l’établissement d’une méthode d’enquête
Authors: Ballesta Jordi
Published: August 2020

Depuis la fin des années 1960, aux États-Unis, puis une décennie plus tard, en Europe, des travaux artistiques ici considérés comme photo-géographiques ont profondément renouvelé la représentation des paysages contemporains, en accordant une place centrale aux constructions et aménagements ordinaires, et notamment aux formes urbaines ayant échappé à l’urbanisme savant, à ses principes ordonnateurs et programmatiques. Il s’agira dans cet article de reconstituer l’élaboration progressive et parfois tâtonnante d’une démarche photo-géographique personnelle, qui a été développée entre 2000 et 2011 dans le champ de la recherche, dont l’objectif a été de produire des connaissances sur le paysage vernaculaire grec.
Ho Chi Minh Ville, des inondations à la submersion…
Authors: Vachaud Georges , Gratiot Nicolas , Tran Ngoc Tien Dung
Published: August 2020

La plus grande partie des méga cités du Sud Est Asiatique situées en bordure littorale sont sujettes d’une part à une très forte croissance démographique, d’autre part à un accroissement des risques d’inondations résultant d’une conjonction entre développement urbain mal maitrisé, augmentation de l’intensité des pluies de mousson, élévation du niveau océanique et affaissement du niveau du sol (subsidence). Ho Chi Minh Ville est un exemple typique de cette situation qui peut conduire à moyen-court terme à la submersion de la majorité des quartiers récents construits sur d’anciennes zones de marais ou de rizière. Il est donc essentiel de mettre en œuvre des stratégies de gestion des risques adaptées et de développer le territoire de manière durable.
Transition mobilitaire et disparition des motos à Ho Chi Minh Ville
Authors: Jamme Huê-Tâm
Published: August 2020

Ho Chi Minh Ville est en cours de transition mobilitaire de la moto comme mode de transport dominant vers la voiture, et potentiellement les transports en commun. Cette contribution propose d’envisager les conséquences socio-spatiales de ce processus depuis la perspective des habitants. Une démarche qualitative permet d’examiner l’expérience vécue des individus et leur rôle dans la mise en œuvre des politiques de transition mobilitaire, qualifiées de « pratiques globalisantes ». L’hypothèse posée est que la mise en œuvre de telles pratiques n’est pas seulement le fait des décideurs et aménageurs mais aussi celui des habitants. La majorité des enquêtés, y compris ceux en situation de dépendance à la moto, se sont montrés désireux de participer activement à la modernisation des déplacements, de l’espace urbain et des modes de vie. Motivés par un idéal de modernité et de développement, ces citadins eux aussi qualifiés de « globalisants » jouent ainsi un rôle moteur dans la transition mobilitaire, malgré les tensions socioéconomiques encourues.

Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne pathogen that caused an epidemic in 2015–2016. ZIKV-specific T cell responses are functional in animal infection models, and helper CD4 T cells promote avid Abs in the vaccine context. The small volumes of blood available from field research limit the determination of T cell epitopes for complex microbes such as ZIKV. The goal of this project was efficient determination of human ZIKV CD4 T cell epitopes at the whole proteome scale, including validation of reactivity to whole pathogen, using small blood samples from convalescent time points when T cell response magnitude may have waned. Polyclonal enrichment of candidate ZIKV-specific CD4 T cells used cell-associated virus, documenting that T cells in downstream peptide analyses also recognize whole virus after Ag processing. Sequential query of bulk ZIKV-reactive CD4 T cells with pooled/single ZIKV peptides and molecularly defined APC allowed precision epitope and HLA restriction assignments across the ZIKV proteome and enabled discovery of numerous novel ZIKV CD4 T cell epitopes. The research workflow is useful for the study of emerging infectious diseases with a very limited human blood sample availability.
