Autocars libéralisés : quo usque tandem … ?
Authors: Quidort Michel 
Published: November 2019

Libéralisé par la loi du 7 août 2015, dite « Loi Macron », le transport à longue distance par autocar s’est depuis très rapidement développé avec près d’un millier de liaisons crées entre près de deux cents villes en novembre 2016. Rappelons que cette libéralisation autorise les liaisons purement commerciales, sans contrat, ni subvention, ni droits exclusifs, le transporteur se rémunérant avec les recettes payées par les voyageurs. Les services ferroviaires et routiers conventionnés sont toutefois protégés par la possibilité offerte aux régions de contester une relation de moins de 100 km qui pourrait menacer l’équilibre économique d’une ligne ou d’un contrat de TER. L’Autorité de régulation des activités ferroviaires et routières (ARAFER) est chargée d’arbitrer les conflits pouvant survenir dans ce cas. À cet égard, son rapport de novembre 2016 dresse un premier panorama intéressant de cette toute nouvelle activité, qui n’est pas encore stabilisée.

Authors: DeBenedictis Caroline N. , Yassin Shaden H. , Gunton Kammi , Nelson Leonard B. , Leiby Benjamin E. , Hegarty Sarah E. , Schnall Bruce 
Published: November 2019

Purpose:
To characterize the practice patterns of pediatric ophthalmologists regarding infection prophylaxis for strabismus surgery and timing of the first postoperative visit.

Methods:
A ten-question multiple-choice, close-ended questionnaire was e-mailed to members of the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus listserv. Survey responses were summarized using frequencies and percentages. Univariable tests of association between prophylactic measures and surgeons reporting a prior episode of postoperative cellulitis or endophthalmitis were performed.

Results:

Three hundred eighty pediatric ophthalmologists completed the survey. Most ophthalmologists instill 5% povidone-iodine solution during surgical preparation (88.4%), use topical antibiotics with or without steroids at the conclusion of surgery (90%), and prescribe oral or topical antibiotics postoperatively (85.5%). Eighty-five percent of strabismus surgeons routinely see patients for the first postoperative visit within the first week, although there is no consensus as to which day is preferred. Responders previously reporting experience with a postoperative infection were more likely to use intraoperative intravenous antibiotics (
P
= .002) and Tegaderm tape (3M, St. Paul, MN) or other adhesive drape to isolate the eyelids/eyelashes (
P
= .047).

Conclusions:
A common practice pattern appears to exist regarding the use of 5% povidone-iodine solution in surgical preparation, application of topical antibiotics at the end of surgery, and a postoperative regimen of topical antibiotics/steroids. There is no prevailing practice pattern regarding the timing of the first postoperative visit. Previous experience with postoperative cellulitis or endophthalmitis may lead to the adoption of more formidable infection prophylaxis measures such as intravenous antibiotics prior to surgery.

Published: November 2019

Purpose:
To assess the early changes of corneal and lens density in a pediatric population with celiac disease.

Methods:
One hundred one patients were included in this observational and prospective study. Patients with celiac disease formed the celiac disease group. Healthy individuals with no medical history formed the control group. Corneal and lens density were assessed with Pentacam HR (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany).

Results:

The mean lens and corneal density outcomes in all zones did not differ between groups (
P
> .05 for each). Maximum lens density outcome was significantly higher in the celiac disease group than in the control group (
P
= .028). The mean corneal density at the peripheral cornea was significantly higher in females than males in the celiac disease group (
P
< .05 for each). Compliance with a gluten-free diet, body mass index, and histological classification of celiac disease had no significant effect on lens and corneal density in patients with celiac disease (
P
> .05 for each).

Conclusions:
Celiac disease did not affect the mean lens and corneal density in this pediatric population, but higher maximum lens density in patients with celiac disease and higher peripheral corneal density in female patients with celiac disease may indicate early stages of ocular involvement of celiac disease.

Rate of Programs Affected by Resident Attrition and Program Factors Associated With Attrition in Emergency Medicine
Authors: Brockberg Madeline , Mittelman Andrew , Dugas Julianne , McCabe Kerry , Spector Jordan , Liu James , Sheng Alexander Y. 
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT

Background
Resident attrition negatively affects residents and programs. The incidence of attrition in emergency medicine (EM) and program-specific factors associated with attrition remain unclear.

Objective
We quantified the percentage of EM residencies affected by attrition between 2007 and 2016 and identified program-specific factors associated with attrition.

Methods
We performed a retrospective analysis of data derived from the American Medical Association National Graduate Medical Education Census. We defined attrition as any postgraduate who left their residency training program prior to completion. We calculated the percentage of residency programs that experienced attrition and the overall incidence of attrition. We used Fisher's exact tests, Wilcoxon rank sum tests, and t tests, as well as multivariable logistic regression, to identify program-specific factors associated with attrition.

Results
Between 2007 and 2016, 139 EM residency programs (82%) experienced attrition of at least 1 resident. An average of 23% of EM training programs experienced attrition annually. The incidence of EM resident attrition averaged 0.85% per year. Program-specific factors associated with attrition include 4-year residencies (P = .031), programs with medium class size (P = .0003), more female residents (P = .002), and more female faculty (P = .003). After analysis, only medium class size (compared to small) was associated with attrition (odds ratio = 4.96, 95% confidence interval 1.65–14.91).

Conclusions
Between 2007 and 2016, while the incidence of resident attrition in EM was low (&lt; 1%), the majority of programs experienced resident attrition. Medium class size (7 to 12 residents) was the only program-specific factor associated with increased attrition.
The Atonement in the Letter to the Colossians
Authors: Metcalf Reed 
Published: November 2019

ABSTRACT
This article is a fresh study of atonement language in the Letter to the Colossians. Long-held assumptions regarding theology, semantics, and trajectories of Christian thought often force parts of the Colossians text into preconceived atonement schemata, whether it be of the substitutionary/satisfaction atonement variety, the Christus Victor family, or some form of moral-influence atonement. This paper takes this dilemma seriously, positing that a close examination of the atonement language in Colossians will yield a distinct perspective that stresses the continuity of God’s action, roots the atonement in Israel’s exodus narrative, and portrays the cross of Christ as the battle where God quells rebellion and reconciles all things. Monosemic bias, a linguistic concept that suggests individual lexemes are always semantically underdetermined until utilized in a text, will be one of the primary tools in this study to avoid importing centuries-worth of tradition onto key terms. Intertextuality will root the understanding of this letter’s atonement language firmly in the exodus traditions of the Jewish Scriptures. With these tools at hand, Colossians’s atonement language shows itself to not fit neatly in the major families of atonement theology, and points of contention with traditional atonement theories are mentioned throughout the article. The findings of this study are collected as a unique model of Christ’s atoning work that the author of this letter presents to the fledgling church at Colossae.

Objetivo do estudo: Este trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar os Centros de Atendimento ao Turista (CATs) em Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. Ao realizar um estudo entre os anos de 2014 e 2018, buscou-se compreender em que medida a realização da Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014 contribuiu para a melhoria dos serviços de informação turística na cidade.Originalidade/Relevância: A informação turística tem papel categórico na promoção de um destino, por consequência, os Centros de Atendimento ao Turista assumem um papel promocional importante, já que concentram informações sobre determinada localidade e sobre os demais destinos turísticos do entorno. A escolha do tema se justifica uma vez que a melhoria dos Centros de Atendimento ao Turista foi definida como uma das áreas prioritárias na Matriz de Responsabilidades, assumida pelos governos municipal e estadual, além de se atentar para a importância de informações turísticas de qualidade para se ter um destino turístico mais inteligente.Metodologia/abordagem: De caráter exploratório, a pesquisa foi dividida em duas etapas concomitantes, em um primeiro momento foi feito um levantamento bibliográfico sobre o tema e, paralelamente, foi realizada a avaliação da estrutura e dos serviços prestados pelos CATs, por meio de entrevistas e avaliação in loco, realizadas em 2014, um mês antes da realização da Copa do Mundo FIFA, e em maio de 2018. Os itens analisados foram agrupados, analisados e categorizados em três tópicos: a) “Produto Facilitador”; b) “Produto Suporte”; e c) “Produto Ampliado”.Principais resultados: Após definir os parâmetros de análise e comparar os dados de 2014 e 2018, pode-se considerar que apresentam uma funcionalidade que, muitas vezes, não condiz com a teoria daquilo que se entende por um CAT, já que tendem a cumprir a função somente de informar o turista e não de cativá-lo. Também foi possível observar que não houve melhorias dos serviços oferecidos pelos CATs após os investimentos realizados em 2014. Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: (i) Realizar uma revisão teórica sobre os CATs; (ii) Propor e sistematizar uma forma de análise e avaliação da infraestrutura e os serviços oferecidos; e (iii) Avaliar os legados pós Copa do Mundo FIFA 2014 nessa área.
Environmental sampling to assess the bioburden of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis in drylot pens on California dairies

Published: November 2019

Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a bacterium that can cause substantial economic losses in infected dairy herds due to reduced milk production and increased cow-replacement costs. In order to control MAP in dairies with drylot pens, a standardized environmental sampling protocol to quantify MAP in fecal slurry was developed based on an existing protocol for freestall pens. Specifically, following a 24 h hold of the flush, a grab sample of approximately 10 ml of fecal slurry was collected every 1 m along the flush lane of the drylot pens, avoiding individual cow fecal pats. To determine the reliability and repatability of the new environmental sampling protocol for estimation of MAP bioburden at the pen level, two collectors simultaneously collected fecal slurry samples every day for 3 days from six drylot cow pens on two Central California dairies. During the study period no cow movement between pens was allowed with the exception of sick cows. The study herds had MAP seroprevalence of 5.8% and 3.2%, respectively, based on whole pen serum ELISA results. Variance components models for quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) results showed samples collected from different pens on different dairies accounted for greater variablitiy in MAP concentration (65%), while samples collected by different collectors had the least variability (0.1%). In contrast, variability in MAP concentration in environmental samples collected on different days had 25% variability. The intraclass correlation coefficient showed high reliability (93%) of environmental sampling simultaneously by different collectors. In contrast, the reliability of environmental sampling at different days was 65%, which was similar to the reliability for sampling by different collectors on different days. Investigators can expect high reliability when employing the new environmental sampling protocol along with qPCR testing of environmental samples from drylot pens.

Published: November 2019

ObjectiveDiet and exercise (D+E) for knee osteoarthritis (OA) is effective and cost‐effective. However, cost‐effectiveness does not imply affordability; the impact of knee OA–specific D+E programs on insurer budgets is unknown.MethodsWe estimated changes in undiscounted medical expenditures (2016 US dollars) with and without a D+E program. We accounted for both additional program outlays and potential savings from reduced use of other knee OA treatments and from reduced incidence of comorbidities. We adopted the perspective of a representative commercial insurance plan covering 200 000 individuals aged 25 to 64 years and a representative Medicare Advantage plan covering 200 000 Medicare‐eligible individuals aged 65 years and older. We used the Osteoarthritis Policy Model, a validated microsimulation model of knee OA, to model D+E efficacy (measured by pain and weight reduction), adherence, and price based on the Intensive Diet and Exercise for Arthritis (IDEA) trial. In sensitivity analyses, we varied time horizon, D+E efficacy, and D+E price.ResultsOver 3 years, the D+E program increased spending by $752 200 ($0.10 per member per month [PMPM]) in the commercial plan and by $6.0 million ($0.84 PMPM) in the Medicare plan. Over 3 years, the D+E program reduced opioid use by 6% and 5% and reduced total knee replacements by 5% and 4% in the commercial and Medicare plans, respectively. Expenses were higher in the Medicare plan because it had more patients with knee OA than the commercial plan.ConclusionAlthough there is no established threshold to define affordability, a D+E program for knee OA would likely produce expenditures comparable with outlays for other health‐promotion interventions.

Published: November 2019

AbstractColloidal assemblies have applications as photonic crystals and templates for functional porous materials. While there has been significant progress in controlling colloidal assemblies into defined structures, their 3D order remains difficult to characterize. Simple, low‐cost techniques are sought that characterize colloidal structures and assist optimization of process parameters. Here, structural color is presented to image the structure and dynamics of colloidal clusters prepared by a confined self‐assembly process in emulsion droplets. It is shown that characteristic anisotropic structural color motifs such as circles, stripes, triangles, or bowties arise from the defined interior grain geometry of such colloidal clusters. The optical detection of these motifs reliably distinguishes icosahedral, decahedral, and face‐centered cubic colloidal clusters and thus enables a simple yet precise characterization of their internal structure. In addition, the rotational motion and dynamics of such micrometer‐scale clusters suspended in a liquid can be followed in real time via their anisotropic coloration. Finally, monitoring the evolution of structural color provides real‐time information about the crystallization pathway within the confining emulsion droplet. Together, this work demonstrates that structural color is a simple and versatile tool to characterize the structure and dynamic properties of colloidal clusters.

Published: November 2019

AbstractThermal management is essential for living organisms and electronic devices to survive and maintain their own functions. However, developing flexible cooling devices for flexible electronics or biological systems is challenging because conventional coolers are bulky and require rigid batteries. In nature, skins help to maintain a constant body temperature by dissipating heat through perspiration. Inspired by nature, an artificial perspiration membrane that automatically regulates evaporation depending on temperature using the programmed deformation of thermoresponsive hydrogels is presented. The thermoresponsive hydrogel is patterned into pinwheel shapes and supported by a polymeric rigid frame with stable adhesion using copolymerization. Both shape of the valve and mechanical constraint of the frame allow six times larger evaporation area in the open state compared to the closed state, and the transition occurs at a fast rate (≈1 s). A stretchable membrane is selectively coated to prevent unintended evaporation through the hydrogel while allowing swelling or shrinking of the hydrogel by securing path of water. Consequently, a 30% reduction in evaporation is observed at lower temperature, resulting in regulation of the skin temperature at the thermal model of human skins. This simple, small, and flexible cooler will be useful for maintaining temperature of flexible devices.

AbstractLithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) batteries are one of the most promising next‐generation energy‐storage systems. Nevertheless, the sluggish sulfur redox and shuttle effect in Li‐S batteries are the major obstacles to their commercial application. Previous investigations on adsorption for LiPSs have made great progress but cannot restrain the shuttle effect. Catalysts can enhance the reaction kinetics, and then alleviate the shuttle effect. The synergistic relationship between adsorption and catalysis has become the hotspot for research into suppressing the shuttle effect and improving battery performance. Herein, the adsorption‐catalysis synergy in Li‐S batteries is reviewed, the adsorption‐catalysis designs are divided into four categories: adsorption‐catalysis for LiPSs aggregation, polythionate or thiosulfate generation, and sulfur radical formation, as well as other adsorption‐catalysis. Then advanced strategies, future perspectives, and challenges are proposed to aim at long‐life and high‐efficiency Li‐S batteries.

AbstractFinding suitable electrode materials for alkali‐metal‐ion storage is vital to the next‐generation energy‐storage technologies. Polyantimonic acid (PAA, H2Sb2O6 · nH2O), having pentavalent antimony species and an interconnected tunnel‐like pyrochlore crystal framework, is a promising high‐capacity energy‐storage material. Fabricating electrochemically reversible PAA electrode materials for alkali‐metal‐ion storage is a challenge and has never been reported due to the extremely poor intrinsic electronic conductivity of PAA associated with the highest oxidation state Sb(V). Combining nanostructure engineering with a conductive‐network construction strategy, here is reported a facile one‐pot synthesis protocol for crafting uniform internal‐void‐containing PAA nano‐octahedra in a composite with nitrogen‐doped reduced graphene oxide nanosheets (PAA⊂N‐RGO), and for the first time, realizing the reversible storage of both Li+ and K+ ions in PAA⊂N‐RGO. Such an architecture, as validated by theoretical calculations and ex/in situ experiments, not only fully takes advantage of the large‐sized tunnel transport pathways (0.37 nm2) of PAA for fast solid‐phase ionic diffusion but also leads to exponentially increased electrical conductivity (3.3 S cm−1 in PAA⊂N‐RGO vs 4.8 × 10−10 S cm−1 in bare‐PAA) and yields an inside‐out buffer function for accommodating volume expansion. Compared to electrochemically irreversible bare‐PAA, PAA⊂N‐RGO manifests reversible conversion‐alloying of Sb(V) toward fast and durable Li+‐ and K+‐ion storage.
