La « marche du progrès »
Authors: Déruelle Aude 
Published: February 2020

La métaphore de « la marche du progrès » commence à s’imposer en France à partir de 1830. Cette expression a des significations que l’article met en perspective : en elle se noue une représentation du temps et de l’humanité au confluent de l’histoire et de la science. L’émergence du modèle de la « marche du progrès » dans l’ordre des espèces coïncide avec l’idée d’une « marche du progrès » dans les sociétés humaines. Bien plus, cette métaphore regroupe plusieurs conceptions du progrès, ce qui a contribué à sa diffusion. L’image construit une représentation naturelle du progrès, sa redondance soulignant son inéluctabilité. Elle élabore également une représentation du progrès orientée vers une fin, ce qui laisse place à un nouveau providentialisme, qu’il soit historique ou scientifique.
Strates géologiques et structure de la mémoire au début du xixe siècle
Authors: Petitier Paule 
Published: February 2020

L’article étudie la métaphore des couches de la mémoire en relation avec les travaux des géologues du début du XIXe siècle sur l’étagement des couches du sous-sol. On observe, notamment dans les Mémoires d’outre-tombe de Chateaubriand, que l’appropriation de cette image par des écrivains et des historiens correspond à la Révolution de 1830. Cette transformation de la relation au temps et de la conception de la mémoire coïncide avec les thèses « actualistes » du géologue anglais Lyell. Il s’agit là sans doute non d’un rapport de cause à effet, mais de l’une de ces synchronies qui permettent d’esquisser une histoire des modèles de pensée.

Background
Pain, agitation, and delirium are associated with negative outcomes in critically ill patients. Reducing variation in pain, agitation, and delirium management among institutions could improve care.

Objectives
To define opportunities to improve pain, agitation, and delirium management in intensive care units in British Columbia, Canada.

Methods
A 13-item survey was developed to determine practices for assessing and managing pain, agitation, and delirium. Target participants were persons designated as the most informed about pain, agitation, and delirium management at each of the 30 intensive care units in British Columbia. Main measures were protocol use, assessment tool(s) used and frequency, and management approaches.

Results
All 30 units responded; half of them had a unit-specific pain algorithm. The Behavioral Pain Scale and the numerical rating scale were the most common tools used to assess pain. Sites reported 15 different approaches to pain management: two-thirds used a sedation assessment tool, but some relied on physician diagnoses to identify sedation. Sites reported 18 different approaches to sedation management: most included an algorithm or order set for sedation management, but the most commonly used approach was individualized management by a clinician (17% for sedation and 30% for agitation). Sites reported 22 different approaches for delirium management: more than two-thirds used a delirium measurement instrument, but some relied on physician diagnoses to identify delirium.

Conclusion
Variation in assessment and management of pain, agitation, and delirium in British Columbia intensive care units highlights opportunities to improve care.
The Relationship Between Critical Care Work Environment and Professional Quality of Life
Authors: Monroe Marissa , Morse Elizabeth , Price Joseph M. 
Published: March 2020

Background
Professional quality of life is the quality a person feels in relation to work. For critical care nurses, it is composed of compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue. Professional quality of life is affected by work environment. The American Association of Critical-Care Nurses (AACN) has identified 6 standards for a healthy work environment.

Objective
To explore which of the AACN healthy work environment standards have the strongest impact on professional quality of life in critical care nurses.

Methods
In an exploratory, cross-sectional survey of nurses working in 4 adult critical care units of a single health care facility, professional quality of life was assessed using the Professional Quality of Life Scale (ProQOL), and work environment was evaluated using the AACN Healthy Work Environment Assessment Tool.

Results
Participants reported compassion satisfaction and burnout levels as average and secondary traumatic stress levels as high. The composite average for all 6 AACN healthy work environment standards was good. A multiple regression analysis revealed true collaboration, effective decision-making, and authentic leadership as significant predictors of compassion satisfaction. Authentic leadership was the only predictor of burnout. Appropriate staffing, meaningful recognition, and authentic leadership were predictors of secondary traumatic stress.

Conclusion
Authentic leadership is the strongest predictor of compassion satisfaction, burnout, and secondary traumatic stress. Therefore, improving leadership should be a priority in intensive care units seeking to improve nurses’ professional quality of life.

Published: March 2020

BackgroundSocietal attitudes about end-of-life events are at odds with how, where, and when children die. In addition, parents’ ideas about what constitutes a “good death” in a pediatric intensive care unit vary widely.ObjectiveTo synthesize parents’ perspectives on end-of-life care in the pediatric intensive care unit in order to define the characteristics of a good death in this setting from the perspectives of parents.MethodsA concept analysis was conducted of parents’ views of a good death in the pediatric intensive care unit. Empirical studies of parents who had experienced their child’s death in the inpatient setting were identified through database searches.ResultsThe concept analysis allowed the definition of antecedents, attributes, and consequences of a good death. Empirical referents and exemplar cases of care of a dying child in the pediatric intensive care unit serve to further operationalize the concept.ConclusionsConceptual knowledge of what constitutes a good death from a parent’s perspective may allow pediatric nurses to care for dying children in a way that promotes parents’ coping with bereavement and continued bonds and memories of the deceased child. The proposed conceptual model synthesizes characteristics of a good death into actionable attributes to guide bedside nursing care of the dying child.
De positie van de niet-begeleide minderjarige vreemdeling binnen de hervorming van het Europees asielstelsel

De positie van de niet-begeleide minderjarige vreemdeling binnen de hervorming van het Europees asielstelsel
De grote toestroom van migranten en asielzoekers in de EU houdt vandaag nog steeds verschillende regelgevers wakker. Niet alleen de nationale overheden, maar ook de EU-regelgevers zoeken naarstig naar oplossingen voor de problematiek. Daartoe trachten de EU-regelgevers het Gemeenschappelijk Europees Asielstelsel (GEAS) bij te werken.Binnen de groep migranten en asielzoekers bestaat een specifiek kwetsbaar individu: de niet-begeleide minderjarige vreemdeling (NBMV). Hij is zowel vreemdeling als kind en kreeg reeds ruime aandacht binnen de rechtsleer. Nochtans werd deze aandacht niet altijd weerspiegeld in de EU-wetgeving. Het lijkt alsof hij door de regelgevers af en toe uit het oog verloren werd.Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat de EU-regelgevers nog een zekere weg te gaan hebben. In de eerste plaats bestaat er wat betreft het geheel aan regels met betrekking tot de NBMV weinig coherentie. De EU-regelgevers zouden bijvoorbeeld meer duidelijkheid kunnen scheppen door een uniforme methode vast te leggen voor de bepaling van de leeftijd van de NBMV. Hetzelfde geldt voor een verduidelijking van de notie ‘het belang van het kind’ binnen asiel en migratie. Verder blijken de Dublinoverdrachten en de vrijheidsontneming van de NBMV nog steeds gevoelige pijnpunten. Hier en daar moet aan de hervorming van het asielstelsel nog wat gesleuteld worden, zodat de rechten van de NBMV optimaal beschermd kunnen worden.---Today, the large influx of migrants and asylum seekers into the European Union (EU) keeps several regulators awake. Not only national authorities, but EU regulators too are diligently searching for solutions to the problems. To this end, EU regulators are seeking to update the Common European Asylum System (CEAS).There is however a particularly vulnerable individual within the group of migrants and asylum seekers: the unaccompanied alien minor (UAM). These minors already received a great deal of attention within legal doctrine. However, this attention was not always reflected in EU legislation. It seems as if UAM are occasionally lost from sight by the regulators.This article shows that the EU regulators still have a certain way to go. First, there is little coherence in the set of rules relating to the UAM. The EU regulators could, for example, create more clarity by laying down a uniform method for determining the age of the UAM. The same applies to a clarification of the notion of 'best interests of the child' within the context of asylum and migration. Second, the proposal for a new Dublin Regulation and the proposal for a new Reception Conditions Directive still appear to be sensitive. Here and there, the reform of the asylum system still needs adjustments, so that the rights of UAM can be optimally protected."

Published: February 2020

Melon (Colocynthis citrullus L.) is a widely cultivated and consumed oil-seed in West Africa. Its seeds deteriorate quickly in storage due to microbial attack introduced during the shelling stage of processing.
Aim: This study investigated and compared the microbial and proximate composition of Hand shelled and machined melon seed as sold in the market in Abeokuta, Nigeria.
Study Design: The total bacterial, total fungal, Staphylococcal and coliform counts of the machine shelled and hand shelled melon seeds samples were determined.
Methodology: The mould count was estimated as SFU/g and isolates (Aspergillus) were identified through spore formation, production of fruiting bodies, morphological and molecular characteristics. The proximate and chemical compositions-Free Fatty Acid (FFA) and Peroxide Value (PV)-were determined by standard analytical methods. Data were analysed using analysis of variance.
Results: There is no significant (p<0.05) difference in the proximate composition of both the hand shelled and machine shelled melon seed save the pH. The proximate compositions of hand shelled and machine shelled melon samples were within the recommended limits for Curcubitaceae, both FFA (1.88±0.02%, 1.88±0.01%) and PV(2.64±0.01 meq/kg, 2.65±0.02 meq/kg) values respectively were within the Codex Alimentarius range for oily seeds. The pH value of Hand shelled (5.57±0.09) is significantly higher than Machine shelled (6.10±0.06). The fungal count of machine shelled (92.33x108 SFU/g) was significantly higher than hand shelled (38.00x108 SFU/g). Staphylococcal count of hand shelled (59.00x108 CFU/g) was significantly higher than machine shelled (42.00x108 CFU/g). However, there is no significant difference in total bacterial and coliform counts of both melon samples. The fungal species found in hand shelled and machine shelled melon samples were mainly genus Aspergillus with A. niger with percentage of occurrence (30%, 22%) and A. flavus (8%, 11%) respectively. Bacillus subtilis (14%, 40%) and Staphylococcus aureus (43%, 20%) were also found in hand shelled and machine shelled melon. These organisms are of spoilage and food poisoning importance.
Conclusion: The study concluded machine shelled melon harbours more spoilage microorganisms and may spoil faster than hand shelled melon seed.
Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: Surgical Outcome of Endoscopic Third Ventriculostomy Comparing VP Shunt
Authors: Rahman Md. Moshiur , Rahman K. M. Ziaur 
Published: February 2020

Background: Normal-pressure hydrocephalus (NPH) affects the older people and the presentations are gait disturbance, incontinence and dementia. The reason is still unknown and there is increased CSF volume causing pressure to the periventricular brain causing the symptoms where there is no evidence of absorption failure or obstruction of the CSF pathway.
Aims: The main objective of this study is to compare the surgical outcome of endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) and VP shunt (VPS) in NPH.
Methodology: A total of 24 patients were included in the study where 12 patients underwent ETV and 12 patients VPS. Patients having a definite cause of hydrocephalus and multiple co-morbid diseases were excluded from the study. Various Scoring systems were studied to see the efficiency of ETV.
Results: About 60% of patients were successfully recovered. 40% needed to revision surgery either VP shunt or LP shunt. Some scales showed higher effieciency of ETV.
Conclusion: ETV in NPH is a safe and effective procedure. Whether the CSF absorption is hampered at arachnoid granulation is doubtful for failure cases. ETV is a short procedure with a good success rate in selected patients.

Published: February 2020

Aims: The study aimed at the quantification, isolation and characterization of hydrocarbon degrading bacteria in oil-contaminated and pristine soils.
Methodology: Soil samples from petroleum hydrocarbon polluted sites at auto-mechanic workshops, a mechanic village, as well as pristine (control) soils, comprising of 14 sampling locations within Cape Coast Metropolis in the Central Region of Ghana were collected using standard sampling techniques. Collected soil samples were treated and cultured while enumerations, isolations and characterization of carbonoclastic bacteria associated were evaluated.
Results: Bacterial populations isolated from hydrocarbon-polluted sites had higher aerobic counts ranging from 7.24-8.02 log10 cfu/g of soil when compared with the pristine sites (from 6.79-7.61 log10 cfu/g of soil). Also, soil samples from the mechanic village (8.76 to 7.48 log10 cfu/g of soil) recorded more bacterial counts than those from the mechanic garages (8.02 to 7.24 log10 cfu/g of soil). The calculated percentage profiles of all the hydrocarbon utilizing bacteria in the total culturable heterotrophic bacteria were low throughout the study, even though the percentage scores were all above 50%. A total of 19 hydrocarbon degraders were isolated. The isolates identified belong to the genera Pseudomonas, Proteus, Bacillus and Enterobacter.
Conclusion: The outcome of the study based on the bacteria populations, identification profiles, coupled with their survival and multiplications in designated medium amended with crude oil as the carbon and energy sources, suggest their petroleum hydrocarbon degrading capabilities, hence may be used in bioremediation applications.

AbstractMembrane technology has shown significant growth during the past two decades in the gas separation industry due to its energy‐savings, compact and modular design, continuous operation, and environmentally benign nature. Robust materials with higher permeability and selectivity are key to reduce capital and operational cost, pushing it forward to replace or debottleneck conventional energy‐intensive unit operations such as distillation. Recently designed ladder polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIM) and polyimides of intrinsic microporosity (PIM‐PI) with pores <20 Å have demonstrated excellent gas permeation performance. Here, a series of plasticization‐resistant PIM‐based membrane materials is reported, including the first example of a hydroxyl‐functionalized triptycene‐ and Tröger's base‐derived ladder PIM and two PIM‐PI homopolymers and a series of dual‐functionalized polyimide blends containing hydroxyl‐ and carboxyl‐functionalized groups. Specifically, 4,4′‐(hexafluoroisopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA)‐based PIM‐PI blends demonstrated extremely high selectivity for a variety of industrially important applications. An optimized polyimide blend containing ─OH and ─COOH groups showed permselectivity values of 136 for CO2/CH4, 11.4 for O2/N2 and 636 for H2/CH4. Such extreme size‐sieving capabilities are attributed to physical crosslinking induced by strong hydrogen bonding forming tightly structured polymer networks. The study provides a new general strategy for developing plasticization resistant, robust, and highly‐selective PIM‐based membrane materials.

Published: December 2024

AbstractDeveloping highly efficient surfactant‐based corrosion inhibitor with multiple interaction sites toward metal surface is crucial for both industry and academy, which can advance the understanding of the anti‐corrosion mechanism and the structure‐activity relationship of inhibitor. However, achieving this goal remains a challenge because of the limited variety of ionic group and the structure of surfactant. Herein, a series of cobaltocenium‐based metallosurfactants is developed through click chemistry, where the cationic cobaltocenium is an ionic group and triazole is a potential coordination site with a metal surface. These metallosurfactants exhibit lower critic micelle concentration than corresponding quaternized ammonium with the same alkyl chains. Owing to the synergetic effect from coordination between triazole and metal surface as well as potential electrostatic interactions between cobaltocenium/protonated triazole with metal surface, these metallosurfactants exhibit highly efficient anti‐corrosion performance to mild steel with inhibitive efficiency as high as 95%. Moreover, such a synergetic effect enforces the hydrophilic group anchored to the metal surface and the tilted angle of the hydrophobic chain increases by increasing the chain length, which results unconventional acid‐resistant corrosion protection behavior.

Published: December 2024

AbstractTriboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are environmentally sustainable energy harvesting devices that can convert mechanical and biomechanical energy into electrical output through the synergistic process of triboelectrification and electrostatic induction. Incorporating polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers into flexible TENG is particularly advantageous because of the abundance of highly electronegative fluorine ions and high dielectric constant. MoS2 can interact with PVDF dipoles to improve PVDF's β phase content, thereby improving the triboelectric property of the polymer nanocomposite fibers. In this study, thermally drawn PVDF TENG fibers are fabricated, incorporating various concentrations of MoS2 for the first time. The enhanced β phase property in the nanocomposite fiber improves the triboelectric output where 3 wt.% MoS2 – PVDF fiber demonstrates a maximum peak power output of 17.64 µW, exhibiting a threefold increment compared to 0 wt.% MoS2 – PVDF fiber. Simultaneous integration of multiple nanomaterials (MoS2 and graphene) is also investigated to analyze the triboelectric fiber's β phase formation and electrical performance. Harnessing the superior sensitivity of the MoS2 integrated triboelectric fiber, a self‐powered wearable mask is designed for continuous human respiration monitoring.

ABSTRACTThe efficacy of photothermal therapy (PTT) in antitumor applications is often limited by inadequate tumor targeting and low photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of photosensitizers. In this study, we designed a photothermal nanoparticle, MPF@IR780, to enhance photosensitizers' targeting and PCE. First, MPF@IR780 improves the delivery of photosensitizers to tumor tissue through the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect. Furthermore, hydrophobic ferrocene was incorporated into the nanoparticle core to increase structural compactness, leading to a strong aggregation‐caused quenching (ACQ) effect and an improved PCE of the photosensitizer under near‐infrared (NIR) irradiation. Mechanistically, MPF@IR780 induces PANoptosis and ferroptosis in cancer cells through thermal damage and oxidative stress, providing an efficient approach for oncotherapy. This strategy of amplifying the effects of PTT by enhancing the ACQ of photosensitizers offers a promising method for advancing the next generation of PTT.
In Situ Growth of ZnAl‐LDH on Biomass Carbon for Highly Efficient Photodegradation of Malachite Green (MG) From Water

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTAs a renewable new material with high void ratio, large adsorption surface area, and high adsorption rate, biomass carbon (BC) is a promising adsorbent, which has received wide attention for the degradation of dyes. However, physical adsorption cannot completely remove dyes, and there is also the risk of secondary pollution. ZnAl‐layered double hydroxide (ZnAl‐LDH) is a semiconductor photocatalyst with abundant active sites and excellent degradation efficiency. In this paper, we have designed a ZnAl‐layered double oxide@biomass carbon (ZnAl‐LDO@BC) formed by in situ grown LDH on the waste poplar wood as a synergistic adsorption and photocatalytic system. BC as a support could enhance the dispersity of layered double oxide (LDO), whereas LDO could provide photodegradation function to BC. Our studies indicate that the prepared ZnAl‐LDO@BC presents lower bandgap energy, higher surface area, and lower complexation efficiency of holes and electrons than delignified biomass (DB). As a result, ZnAl‐LDO@BC increased the removal rate of malachite green (MG) to 85.8%, which is 3.5 times higher than DB. The maximum removal rate was close to 98%, and the removal capacity was 1954 mg g−1 under an initial concentration of 200 mg L−1 of MG dye, and the possible mechanism of MG degradation was also investigated. In this study, the conversion of agroforestry wastes into high‐value materials applied to dye degradation provides a new pathway for the production of stable, sustainable, and superior photocatalytic material.
