Cellule de coordination des flux sortants des réanimations en période de Covid-19
Authors: Langlois M. , Borel M. , Clovet O. , Justice V. , Spuccia C. , Raux M.
Published: October 2020

La pandémie de Covid-19 a inscrit l’hôpital au coeur d’une crise sanitaire de cinétique longue. Le système de santé a dû dans un premier temps accepter cette notion de crise déstructurante et piloter dans l’incertitude. Un des enjeux majeurs était d’éviter la saturation du système, notamment l’accessibilité à la réanimation. À la demande de la cellule de crise du groupe hospitalier AP–HPSorbonne Université, l’équipe Dynamo a dû apporter des propositions permettant de libérer des places en réanimation. C’était la stratégie retenue pour éviter une mise en tension de l’hôpital. La cellule Dynamo, avec l’accord du directeur médical de crise, a ouvert un flux entre les réanimations expertes et des unités créées de novo (publiques et privées). Cette équipe est le fruit d’une préparation conjointe entre le département médico-universitaire DREAM et le service médical du RAID. Elle a permis d’organiser et d’effectuer dans de bonnes conditions sanitaires et sécuritaires le transfert d’une centaine de patients entre les réanimations d’Îlede- France. L’objectif était une répartition cohérente pour maintenir une capacité d’accueil dans les réanimations les plus spécialisées et impactées par l’intensité des soins. Pour cela, la cellule Dynamo a défini des critères médicaux de patients éligibles au transfert. La méthodologie utilisait quatre boucles indépendantes : le service demandeur, l’équipe de transfert, le vecteur de transfert et le service receveur. Cette organisation a offert agilité et autonomie. Nous publions ce retour d’expérience pour partager les bases méthodologiques et humaines de notre organisation afin d’inspirer d’autres cellules innovantes en cas de situations sanitaires exceptionnelles.
Collaboration ville–aide médicale urgente–hôpital à l’épreuve de la crise Covid-19, l’expérience des Yvelines
Authors: Petit A. , Berton L. , de Bastard L. , Hellal A. Ben , Prudhomme F. , Richard O.
Published: October 2020

L’évolution actuelle de la demande de soins non programmés porte autant sur une augmentation de volume que sur sa nature. Les missions assurées par les structures d’urgence se sont décentrées vers la prise en charge des complications des pathologies chroniques et des problématiques médicosociales. Une démarche collaborative entre la médecine de ville et l’aide médicale urgente (AMU) a été initiée depuis deux ans dans les Yvelines, entre le Samu 78, l’hôpital de Versailles, le Conseil de l’ordre des médecins 78 et l’Association Plateforme territoriale d’appui 78. Ses objectifs visent, par un travail de coordination multidisciplinaire, à éviter les ruptures de parcours des patients complexes, à favoriser le maintien à domicile et à réorienter les patients vers la ville après un recours à l’hôpital. La crise sanitaire liée au Covid-19 a permis d’accélérer le processus de collaboration ville– AMU avec des objectifs propres à cette crise, notamment grâce à des outils numériques dédiés. Les principaux axes de travail ont été de répondre à l’urgence de la crise sanitaire en organisant une offre de soins sécurisée, d’organiser les parcours des patients fragiles pendant le confinement puis de préparer et d’accompagner le déconfinement grâce à une cellule d’appui et de suivi des cas positifs et de leurs contacts. Les difficultés organisationnelles ou liées à l’acceptabilité de ces nouveaux outils de surveillance et de coordination ont trouvé leurs solutions grâce à un environnement institutionnel favorable et l’implication de leaders intéressés par la conduite de projets innovants. Cette expérience peut préfigurer le futur service d’accès aux soins (SAS).
Incarnation, Alienation, and Emancipation
Authors: Sullivan Daniel
Published: October 2020

In Critique of Dialectical Reason Vol. 2, Sartre analyzes a boxing match in light of a typology of violence. He suggests that individual conflicts incarnate broader forces of structural violence. He distinguishes between incidents of incarnating violence in terms of their broader social effects, as either alienated – commoditized or “mystified” and rendered illicit – or emancipatory – embedded in a collectively willed political project. This conceptualization is used to analyze two films, Aronofsky’s The Wrestler and McQueen’s Hunger. The Wrestler is an excellent meditation on the ways in which the violence of the oppressed is alienated in contemporary U.S. culture, whereas Hunger gestures toward the possibility of emancipatory violence. The article finally considers the act of watching these films as a Sartrean incarnation of violence.

The Effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Model On Mathematical Communication Skills of Junior High School Students – A Meta-Analysis Study
Authors: Susanti Nipa , Juandi Dadang , Tamur Maximus
Published: October 2020

This study aims to integrate research findings on the effect of the Problem-Based Learning (PBL) model on the mathematical communication skills of junior high school students in Indonesia since 2014. The research method used is a meta-analysis with many samples studied, namely 12 published articles. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The effect size transformation is based on the g hedge equation calculated using the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) application. Based on the results of the analysis, the combined effect of PBL on mathematical communication skills is 0.791, with the high influence criteria according to the random-effect estimation model. There are four criteria considered, namely, sample size, year of study, source of journal publication, and grade level. The results of the heterogeneity test seen based on the variables studied showed that the effect of the PBL learning model was not significantly different from the three moderator variables in terms of sample size, year of study, and publication journals and very different in terms of grade level. This finding is surprising because the random-effects model, as determined by the heterogeneity test, showed variation between effect sizes. Only one of the four variables causes this variation. Therefore further research is needed, which includes more studies and the characteristics studied to describe it more accurately.

The result show that the significant N-Gain score obtained is 0.008. The N-Gain score is smaller tha (α = 0.05), which means that there is a significant difference in the increase in mathematical problem solving abilities toward participant student who use mathematical habits of mind strategies with those using conventional learning. statistically proven habits of mind strategy that influences problem solving can be one of the practitioners' choices in teaching mathematics in basic education.
How to create a summary of findings table with GRADEPro
Authors: Basu Arindam
Published: October 2020

GRADE provides a structure for clinicians and healthcare analysts to understand the quality of evidence for an outcome. An outcome can be associated with a number of studies, and quality appraisal in terms of whether additional evidence must be needed before a definitive conclusion about an intervention-outcome can be arrived at is done on the basis of conducting GRADE tables. GRADEpro as a software enables construction of grade tables, and has two parts. In part one of this series, we showed how to construct certainty of evidence tables. In this part, we discuss how to create summary of findings tables with GRADEpro for dichotomous outcome variables.

Management Considerations for Wheat Production in Florida
Authors: Wright David L. , Blount Ann R. , Barnett Ron D. , Mackowiak Cheryl L. , Dufault Nicholas , Marois James
Published: October 2020

Higher wheat prices created the impetus for growing wheat in the southeastern United States. Since increasing amounts of corn have been diverted to ethanol production, there is a shortage of grain for America’s livestock industry. This shortage results in higher wheat and soybean prices. Wheat and soybean have been grown together as a double crop throughout the Southeast for many years, which generally increases profitability compared with growing only one of the crops. Planting wheat followed by cotton, peanut or grain sorghum has also become a common practice. The best management practices for high yields of wheat in the Southeast Coastal Plain are well established. This 3-page fact sheet lists production practices for small grains in Florida. Written by D.L. Wright, A.R. Blount, R.D. Barnett, C.L. Mackowiak, N. Dufault, and J. Marois, and published by the UF Department of Agronomy, October 2013.

Spanish Moss, Ball Moss, and Lichens - Harmless Epiphytes
Authors: Sewards Joe , Brown Sydney Park
Published: October 2020

Epiphytes are “air” plants that survive on moisture and nutrients in the atmosphere. Several epiphytic plants, like Spanish moss, ball moss, and lichen, are common to the Florida landscape and southeast United States. People unfamiliar with epiphytes sometimes worry that they may cause injuries to the plants they perch in. Epiphytes do attach themselves to plants, but they do not harm the plants, unlike mistletoe, a plant parasite. Without soil as a source of nutrients, epiphytic plants have evolved the capacity to obtain minerals dissolved in water that flows across leaves and down branches.

Stink Bugs in Florida Rice
Authors: Cherry Ron
Published: October 2020

Although many different insects can be found in rice fields in Florida, stink bugs are currently considered the most important pest. Jones and Cherry reported that the rice stink bug was the dominant species, comprising more than 95% of the total stink bug population. Cherry et al. (1998) reported that the stink bug Oebalus ypsilongriseus was widespread in Florida rice fields. This was the first report of this species being found in commercial rice fields in the United States. Cherry and Nuessly (2010) reported that the stink bug Oebalus insularis is now widespread in Florida rice fields. This was the first report of this species being found in commercial rice fields in the United States. The stink bug complex attacking Florida rice is the most diversified and unique stink bug complex in US rice production.

Green orchid bee Euglossa dilemma Friese (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Authors: Mullins Aaron
Published: October 2020

Green orchid bees are a quite conspicuous and charismatic species. This is mostly due to their large size and bright metallic-green coloration. They are very fast and agile flyers, and can be seen quickly darting from flower to flower separated by long periods of hovering. Male orchid bees collect fragrant volatile compounds from their environment and present them to females by fanning their wings and “spray ventilating” their bouquet for the inspection of prospective mates. In Florida, male green orchid bees are attracted to chemicals produced by certain wood-rot fungi, decomposing vegetation, perfume flowers, and certain essential oils such as clove and cinnamon oil. Male green orchid bees can be quickly and easily attracted and observed by soaking a small piece of paper with clove oil and placing it outside.

The Role of Soil Management in Minimizing Water and Nutrient Losses from the Urban Landscape
Authors: Hochmuth George , Trenholm Laurie , Momol Esen , Rainey Don , Lewis Claire , Niemann Brian
Published: October 2020

Soil is the most important building block of a healthy, attractive landscape, serving many important physical, chemical, and biological functions. Soil provides a physical substrate for plant support and holds nutrients and water for plant use. It also facilitates groundwater recharge (water moving from surface water to groundwater) and provides long-term storage for organic matter. Soil also provides a habitat for microorganisms that aid in the transformation and availability of nutrients. Soil is an integral part of any ecosystem, but urbanization often changes soils in ways that negatively affect plant development. Soils in urban areas may have reduced water infiltration, resulting in increased runoff and increased potential for nutrient losses. Homeowners in urban areas often overcompensate for poor planting conditions by applying inappropriate amounts of fertilizer and water. These practices eventually lead to nutrient losses through stormwater runoff or soil leaching, and these lost nutrients negatively impact groundwater and ecosystems in nearby springs, streams, and water bodies.

Diversity of Predatory Arthropods in Soybean (Glycine max L) Refugia
Authors: Anggraini Erise , Pardingotan Roy , Herlinda Siti , Irsan Chandra , Harun Muhammad Umar
Published: October 2020

Many problems arise in the cultivation of crops; one of these problems is insect pests that can threaten crop production. Integrated pest management is an alternative technique for managing the balance of the agricultural environment. Habitat manipulation by increasing plant diversity with refugia is considered an alternative way to maintain natural enemy in an agro ecosystem. The use of soybean as a refugium in a crop field is still limited. Research was conducted to investigate the diversity of predatory arthropods in soybean as a refugium in a chilli pepper crop field at the Agro-technology Training Centre (ATC) at the University of Sriwijaya. In this study, four varieties of soybean (Dena 1, Detam 3 PRIDA, Deja 1, and Devon 1) were used as refugia. Three observation methods were carried out using nets, pitfall traps and visual observation for 7 weeks. The results show that arthropod diversity in soybean plants comprised 6 orders with 10 families and 19 species. Odontoponera denticulata (Hymenoptera) was the most predominant arthropod predator, observed in 73% of all soybean varieties. The number of canopy-dwelling arthropod predators was similar in the four soybean varieties.
Assessing the size of agricultural holdings
Authors: Shagaida N. I.
Published: October 2020

The article clarifies the concept of “agricultural holding”, using an approach to assessing the size on the basis of the total revenue of all agricultural organizations within the agricultural holding. It has been revealed that only 100 of the total number of agricultural holdings that were identified can be attributed to large business entities. They comprise about 3% of agricultural organizations in the country, while their share in the proceeds is about 37%. A large share of agricultural holdings — large business subjects under the control of Russian entities operate in one, and under the control of foreign legal entities — in three or more regions of the Russian Federation. Vertical integration within the framework of large agricultural holdings with different schemes for including the stages of processing and sale of products produced in their agricultural organizations allows them to receive advantages. Strengthening the role of large business entities in agriculture puts on the agenda the issue of differentiating approaches to taxation and state support in agriculture, depending on the size of the companies’ agricultural businesses.
Tax maneuver in the oil industry: Provisional results and risks for further implementation
Authors: Kaukin A. S. , Miller E. М.
Published: October 2020

The paper analyzes the consequences of the abolition of the export duty on oil and oil products as a necessary step to stimulate energy efficiency of Russia’s economy and eliminate underdevelopment provoked by a long-term subsidizing of inefficient oil refining sector in Russia. The calculation results have shown that even taking into account several deviations from the planned scenarios of changing the parameters of tax regulation of the oil industry in 2014— 2019, the tax maneuver brought over 3.5 trillion rubles (in 2019 — 148 billion rubles) to the state budget in 2014—2017, mainly due to an increase in the base mineral extraction tax rate, and contributed to an increase in the depth of oil refining from 72% to 85%. In addition, the article analyzes possible risks associated with the current plan for reforming the taxation of the industry until 2024 and proposes an alternative that could level some of them. A comparative analysis of the effects of the tax maneuver under the current reform plan and the alternative variant suggests that the latter will allow to achieve a greater total budgetary effect in four years, reduce the cost of subsidizing domestic oil refining, increase the efficiency of Russian vertically integrated oil companies, and reduce the growth rate of oil products prices in the retail market.

Nowadays the unpredictability and nonlinearity of macroeconomic processes are growing, due to the technological changes, the increasing economic complexity, and the environmental risks. The development of small and medium‑sized enterprises (SMEs) is considered as one of the tools for adapting to these processes. The decline in entrepreneurial activity can finally lead to long-term consequences. Thus, many countries introduce the entrepreneurial support policy. Our review shows that in the face of weak development of public control institutions, direct financial measures can lead to new institutional traps. This forms a need for new and alternative approaches to entrepreneurship policy. The purpose of the paper is to justify and describe an alternative entrepreneurial policy for developing countries, based on the concept of entrepreneurial ecosystems. The goals and principles of the ecosystem approach are formulated in the article. They have been used to identify new directions and evaluate existing measures of Russian entrepreneurship policy: local authorities and business agents are poorly motivated, local characteristics are not always taken into account, there is a distrust between contractors, support institutions are not open enough, direct support is mainly provided. As a result, the role of the sector in the economy is consistently low and declining. The new approach can become the basis for post-crisis policy in the context of reducing natural resource rent.

We study the relation between trust and economic growth. We explore the history of the topic and conduct empirical analysis using all the available data from the World Values Survey and the European Values Study, including data for the recent years. We show that results of the classic models that establish positive relation between trust and economic growth do not replicate on the most recent data. Moreover, neither use of alternative indicators of trust, nor dividing the countries into the groups depending on institutional quality yields to the appearance of relation. We discuss possible reasons for the absence of relation between trust and economic growth in the recent years, in particular, the changing role of trust in the modern world, and point to the importance of more detailed exploration of the mechanisms of relation between trust and economic growth.

This paper considers a simple Bayesian vector autoregressive model for the Russian economy based on data for real GDP, GDP deflator and oil price as an exogenous variable that acts as a proxy variable for the terms of trade. Along with the impact of oil price shocks, the model estimates the impact of supply and demand shocks, the identification of which is based on the approach of sign restrictions. According to the results obtained, at the end of 2014 and in 2015, demand shocks had a positive impact on GDP growth, which can be interpreted as a positive effect of the ruble devaluation at the end of 2014. In the next years, demand shocks led mainly to a slowdown in economic growth. The paper also attempts to identify monetary policy shocks and assesses their impact on GDP, household consumption and investment. According to the results, the effect of monetary shocks in 2015—2019 on all endogenous variables was negative. However, an increase in the interest rate at the end of 2014 is identified mostly as an endogenous reaction to other shocks, and the effect of the monetary shock on GDP in 2015 is nearly zero. In 2017, monetary shocks slowed down GDP by 0.92 percentage points.

A unified architecture for indoor and outdoor location determination in the IoT domain is presented in this work. Two empirical scenarios (indoor and outdoor) with their associated techniques have been proposed and successfully deployed. The selected physical location for interior experience has been a classroom of the Facultad de Ciencias Exactas, Químicas y Naturales (FCEQyN) from Universidad Nacional de Misiones (UNaM). The network has been set by deploying a set of Decawave DWM1001 nodes, a new radio frequency communications product from the Decawave ScenSor family that accomplish with communication methods as Ultrawideband (UWB) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). For the outdoor scenario, a livestock production farm of 234 ha (2,34.106 m2) near the city of Posadas has been selected. In this physical facility, devices based on 2.4 GHz XBee Pro S2, compatible with ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4, have been deployed. For the location process of the nodes, the trilateration method has been used. While in indoors essays an approximate bias of 7.10-2 m has been achieved, outdoors trilateration outcomes expose indeterminacy between 35 m and 98 m.

Background: Pandiaka angustifolia Valh Hepper (Amaranthaceae) whole plant is used in folk Burkinabe’s medicine to treat ailments with an inflammatory component. Previous studies revealed the antioxidant capacity, xanthine oxidase, and lipoxygenase inhibitory activities of the plant, but to the best of our knowledge, its anti-inflammatory activities were not reported before. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic activity of P. Angustifolia hexane and aqueous extracts using in vitro enzymatic methods and in vivo methods and verify the best anti-inflammatory extract implication in KATP pathways. Experiments: acute toxicity of the plant was conducted under OECD 423 guidelines. Phospholipase and cyclooxygenases were pro-inflammatory enzymes used to evaluate in vitro anti-inflammatory effects of plant extracts while carrageenan induced edema method was used to evaluate the anti-edematous activity and acetic acid inducing writhing method to evaluate the non-morphine analgesic effect of herbal mixture. ATP sensitive K+ channel assay was performed in vivo using the glibenclamide as ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) blocker. Results: enzymatic inhibition assays revealed that both hexane and aqueous extracts of P. angustifolia were good inhibitors against sPLA2 activity with IC50 values of 14.23 ± 0. 72 µg/mL and 11.56 ± 0.11 µg/mL, respectively. Aqueous extract presented the best inhibition for COX-1 (IC50 = 24.76 ±0. 51 µg/mL) while hexane extract concentration that inhibit 50% of COX-2 was lesser than those of aqueous extract. P. angustifolia aqueous extract orally administrated to NMRI mice caused no death at the dose of 3000 mg/kg b.w indicating that the plant toxicity is low. While hexane extract was unable to reduce Carrageenan-induced edema, ethanolic extract were significantly active when extract was orally administrated. Non-morphine analgesic activity evaluation revealed that ethanolic extract was more efficient on writhing reduction than hexane extract. Nociception effect of the plant is linked with its effects on K+ ATP sensitive channels. Conclusion: Results indicate that the anti-inflammatory potential of P. angustifolia may be due to its polar phytoconstituents and observed pharmacological activities provide the scientific basis for the medicinal use of the plant in the treatment of ailment associated with inflammation.
To Teach or Not to Teach Online: Pedagogical Considerations About Distance Learning
Authors: H. Robertson William
Published: October 2020

The use of online course delivery has been promoted at many institutions of higher education as a way to provide greater access to students in a variety of degree programs. The lack of emphasis of online pedagogical strategies has left many faculty members to not consider teaching online, while administrators look for ways to increase revenue through enrollment with limited classroom space on campus. In this paper, the reasons faculty who have taught not online are explored and examined, while providing insight into the motivations of teaching online that could lead to increased participation within distance learning frameworks. Currently, universities across the globe are continuously challenged to provide increased opportunities to non-traditional students without increasing tuition for students or the overall operating budget. As most non-traditional students are not able to attend their classes in a full-time status, many universities are now encouraging and developing a strong distance education program across their institutions. Although distance learning does in fact provide non-traditional students the opportunity of higher education the integrity of university must not be lost, and the following case study of a Hispanic Serving Institution in the Southwest United states is a good example of how universities must consider the consequences and not just the benefits that online teaching has to offer.
