Techno-economic Analysis of the Olive Oil Mills Waste Valorisation for Energy Production: A Case Study of Corfu
Authors: Dounavis Athanasios Sotirios 
Published: December 2019

Olive oil production in Greece is undoubtedly linked to its history and tradition.
However, large quantities of by-products are produced (with the olive oil production)
which are harmful to the environment. Those environmental problems are a result
of the chemical composition of the waste and its high organic load. This intense
phenomenon has led to the exploration and development of methods and technolog0ies
for the treatment of olive mill waste. One of the methods used is the biogas production
through anaerobic digestion and its subsequent disposal for energy production.
This method could be particularly appealing to the Greek islands so that there is
their energy dependence from the mainland. A typical example is the island of Corfu
as the problem of waste from olive oil mills is intense and its energy demands are
increased. Therefore, energy production via anaerobic digestion could greatly
contribute to overcoming the current situation. The purpose of this study is to
design a central power plant, which is fed by biogas, produced by the anaerobic
digestion of the waste oil mills in Corfu and to present various economic data
regarding its construction and operation.

THE NARRATIVE ACT: WITTGENSTEIN AND NARRATOLOGY
Authors: McDonald Henry 
Published: December 2019

This essay uses the late work of Ludwig Wittgenstein to reformulate the traditional distinction between story and narrative discourse, or diegetic and extra-diegetic levels of narrative, as a distinction between story and narrative act. In describing the transformations performed by the narrative act, the author elaborates the principle of narrative uncertainty, which dictates that the more definite the account of story or plot, the more indefinite the account of the narrative act — and vice versa. In this conceptual framework, the essay then characterizes the narrative act as the differential, within a given fictional text, of two of more types of stories (or plots), and articulates the relationship between narrative act, narrator, and cultural context.
DES HUMANITÉS ET DE LA DISCIPLINE PHILOSOPHIQUE
Authors: Derrida Jacques 
Published: December 2019

L’auteur entreprend de repenser le droit à la philosophie dans sa dimension internationale. La réflexion qu’il engage s’appuie sur une lecture de « Idée (en vue) d’une histoire universelle au point de vue cosmopolite » qui fait ressortir les implications de ce texte de Kant pour certaines institutions fondées après la seconde guerre mondiale. En examinant ces implications, l’auteur aborde la problématique de l’eurocentrisme, l’histoire de l’émergence de la modernité, et le rôle de l’UNESCO dans la réflexion sur la philosophie contemporaine.
LA TOILE FAIT-ELLE AUTORITÉ ?
Authors: Rheault Sylvain 
Published: December 2019

La mise en ligne d’informations dans les humanités peut se comparer au travail de l’encyclopédiste : accumulation et organisation. Des questions se posent et des pistes s’ouvrent avec cette comparaison. L’accumulation modulaire qu’encourage la Toile peut-elle modifier nos pratiques d’écriture, voire nos modes de pensée ? Quant à l’organisation, encore plus cruciale, elle commande aujourd’hui de repenser l’évaluation par les pairs.
LITERARY READING: HÖLDERLIN THROUGH HEIDEGGER THROUGH DE MAN
Authors: Pelmas Sarah 
Published: December 2019

This essay examines how the stakes of literary theory can be understood within the activity of reading. Through Paul de Man's reading of Martin Heidegger's reading of Friedrich Hölderlin, this essay analyzes the way that Heidegger uses Hölderlin's poetic language, examples, and etymology to elaborate his own thought — thought which ultimately demands to be read. By understanding de Man's response to Heidegger's thinking, we can see how readings must respond to thought precisely because language requires the reader to recover the moments language is always documenting as already lost.

Faire « local » avec un accent étranger : entre inclusion et minorisation
Authors: Prikhodkine Alexei 
Published: December 2019

L’étude à la base de cet article montre que, dans le contexte de la diversité croissante de la population suisse, des ressources langagières relevant de la variation régionale commencent à signifier de nouvelles frontières de type ethno-national. Ce changement indexical consiste à exclure de la signification sociale d’une variante locale le trait d’ethnicité majoritaire lorsqu’elle côtoie des marques d’accent étranger, ce qui annule la plus-value que les personnes migrantes pourraient retirer de l’usage de variantes locales. Ce résultat démontre un paradoxe : l’appropriation par des personnes issues de l’immigration des ressources langagières qui permettent une intégration sociale ne contribue pas à réduire leur minorisation.

Published: December 2019

Background
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a progressive liver disease characterized by hepatic steatosis, lobular inflammation and fibrosis. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) isoform 1 and 2 involved in de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and fatty acid oxidation have been identified as a therapeutic target in NASH. GS-0976, the inhibitor of ACC1 and ACC2, has achieved favorable therapeutic effects in clinical trials with NASH. The purpose of this study was to explore the transcriptional alterations regulated by GS-0976 in NASH.

Methods
C57BL/6 mice were fed on a choline-deficient, L-amino acid-defined, high-fat diet (CDAHFD) or normal diet for 12 weeks. Mice were treated with or without GS-0976 (3 mg/kg per day) in the last 8 weeks. Oil Red O, Haematoxylin-eosin (H & E), and Sirius Red were used to evaluate hepatic steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis. The comparative RNA-sequencing was conducted to analyse the hepatic gene expression profiles in mice. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction analysis was performed to validate the differential expression of representative genes.

Results
GS-0976 attenuated the steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis of NASH in CDAHFD mouse model. High-throughput sequencing and differential gene expression analysis showed that there were 516 up-regulated genes and 525 down-regulated genes after GS-0976 treatment. Genes involved in the metabolic process, extracellular matrix formation, immune response, and angiogenesis were significantly enriched. The “Metabolic pathways” and “ECM-receptor interaction” pathways were the most significantly enriched KEGG pathways in the up-regulated and down-regulated differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively.

Conclusions
Transcriptome analysis showed that GS-0976 could regulate the expression of genes related to metabolism, inflammation and fibrosis in NASH. The global transcriptomic changes in gene expression promote the further understanding for the inhibition mechanisms of GS-0976 in NASH.
Systematic evaluation of the gut microbiome of swamp eel (Monopterus albus) by 16S rRNA gene sequencing
Authors: Chen Xuan , Fang Shaoming , Wei Lili , Zhong Qiwang 
Published: December 2019

Background
The swamp eel (Monopterus albus) is a commercially important farmed species in China. The dysbiosis and homeostasis of gut microbiota has been suggested to be associated with the swamp eel’s disease pathogenesis and food digestion. Although the contributions of gut microbiome in fish growth and health has been increasingly recognized, little is known about the microbial community in the intestine of the swamp eel (Monopterus albus).

Methods
The intestinal microbiomes of the five distinct gut sections (midgut content and mucosa, hindgut content and mucosa, and stools) of swamp eel were compared using Illumina MiSeq sequencing of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence and statistical analysis.

Results
The results showed that the number of observed OTUs in the intestine decreased proximally to distally. Principal coordinate analysis revealed significant separations among samples from different gut sections. There were 54 core OTUs shared by all gut sections and 36 of these core OTUs varied significantly in their abundances. Additionally, we discovered 66 section-specific enriched KEGG pathways. These section-specific enriched microbial taxa (e.g., Bacillus, Lactobacillus) and potential function capacities (e.g., amino acid metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism) might play vital roles in nutrient metabolism, immune modulation and host-microbe interactions of the swamp eel.

Conclusions
Our results showed that microbial diversity, composition and function capacity varied substantially across different gut sections. The gut section-specific enriched core microbial taxa and function capacities may perform important roles in swamp eel’s nutrient metabolism, immune modulation, and host-microbe interactions. This study should provide insights into the gut microbiome of the swamp eel.
Effect of induced hyperopia on fall risk and Fourier transformation of postural sway
Authors: Moon Byeong-Yeon , Choi Jae Hyeok , Yu Dong-Sik , Kim Sang-Yeob 
Published: December 2019

Background and Purpose
Fall accidents are a social challenge in Korea and elsewhere. Most previous studies have focused on the effects of reduced visual acuity due to myopia on falls and body balance. The objective of this study was to investigate whether uncorrected hyperopia was a major risk factor for falls and to establish whether the risk of falls was absolutely correlated with visual acuity.

Methods
Fifty-one young subjects with a mean age of 22.75 ± 2.13 years were enrolled in this study. To induce hyperopic and myopic refractive errors, spherical lenses of ±1.0–6.0 D (1.0 D stepwise) were used. Under each induced condition, fall risk index and sway power were assessed via Fourier transformation of postural sway using a TETRAX system.

Results
The fall risk index for eyes-closed was significantly greater than that of eyes-open with full correction (t = −5.876, p < 0.05). The fall risk index increased significantly from hyperopia induced with −4.0 D lenses (with visual acuity of 0.69 ± 0.32) compared to eyes-open with full correction (F = 3.213, p < 0.05). However, there was no significant change in the induced myopia conditions, despite a drastic decline in decimal visual acuity. Sway power increased significantly in the low-to-medium frequency band derived from the peripheral vestibular system when hyperopia was induced. A significant difference was detected in hyperopia induced with −6.0 D lenses compared to eyes-open with full correction (F = 4.981, p = 0.017).

Conclusion
An uncorrected hyperopia rather than myopia may increase the risk of falls, although eyes may show normal visual acuity due to the inherent accommodation mechanism. Our findings suggest that the corrected state of refractive errors is more important than the level of visual acuity as the criteria for appropriate visual input, which contributes to stable posture. Therefore, clinicians should consider the refractive condition, especially the characteristics of hyperopia, when analyzing body balance, and appropriate correction of uncorrected hyperopia to prevent falls.
Influence of Sublethal Temperatures on Some Spore-forming and Vegetative Foodborne Bacteria and Impact on Hygienic Quality of the “Foléré” (Hibiscus sabdariffa) Beverage
Authors: Bayoï James Ronald , Djoulde Roger Darman , Ehawa Flaure Essoung , Etoa Francois-Xavier 
Published: December 2019

Aims: “Foléré” beverage is a refreshing locally made drink much appreciated by the populations of the hottest parts of Cameroon. This paper aims at investigating microbial contamination of “Foléré” beverage and highlights impact of the sublethal temperatures on the hygienic quality the beverage.
Study Design: Design used for describing physicochemical and microbial profile is a random sampling and for impact of sublethal temperature on hygienic quality, we used food matrix simulations.
Place and Duration of Study: Samples: Local markets, between August 2018 and June 2019.
Methodology: The sample pH and soluble solids content were recorded using portables devices. Microbial analysis focused on total aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Escherichia coli, and spore-forming bacteria were determined according to accredited culture methods. Acidic “Foléré” beverage produced by an artisanal processing was sterilized and inoculated by Bacillus cereus T spores and Escherichia coli ATCC 25922 cells thermally stressed by pre-incubation at 10°C, 45°C, 50°C or 60°C for 45 min, 90 min and 180 min. The recovery method was used to determine acid pH resistance of both bacteria before and after sublethal thermal processing.
Results: “Foléré” beverage is of poor hygienic quality according to standards, despite its very low pH (2.01). Beverages at pH 2.01 and inoculated by each one of referenced bacteria indicated that the samples which contained thermally stressed bacteria were worse hygienic quality than the same ones which contaminated with unstressed bacteria. Some of recovery percentages of bacteria thermally stressed were significantly higher (P =.05) than those of same bacteria thermally unstressed after acid treatments. That phenomenon was called thermal-induced bacterial acid resistance.
Conclusion: it appeared that some sublethal cold and heat shock treatments (10°C/45 min, 45°C/45 min, 50°C/90 min and 180 min) could negatively affect food quality. So, the control of emergence and evolution of stress-resistant bacteria in food could help to improve food safety.

ImportanceEffective management of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and diabetic macular edema (DME) requires reliable patient follow-up to prevent disease progression.ObjectiveTo investigate the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with being lost to follow-up (LTFU) among individuals with PDR or DME treated with anti–vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) intravitreal injections (IVIs) or panretinal photocoagulation (PRP).Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis cohort study included a multicenter, retrospective review of patients with PDR or DME treated in Toronto, Canada, from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021. Data were analyzed from February 1 to May 31, 2024.ExposuresAll patients received at least 1 anti-VEGF IVI or PRP session.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was the LTFU rate, defined as the absence of an ophthalmic visit or intervention in the 1-year period following an individual’s last visit with the treating retinal specialist. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression models were conducted to evaluate associations between sociodemographic and clinical factors with the LTFU rate.ResultsOverall, 2961 patients with PDR or DME (mean [SD] age, 71 [13] years; 1640 [55.4%] male) were included, of whom 507 (17.1%) were LTFU over a mean (SD) follow-up period of 61 (22) months. In the multivariable analysis, older patients (age ≥85 years vs age &amp;lt;65 years: odds ratio [OR], 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40-0.81; P = .002), those with worse baseline visual acuity (&amp;gt;20/200 Snellen vs 20/40 Snellen or better: OR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.48-0.97; P = .04), those with DME (OR vs no DME, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.43-0.83; P = .003), those with frequent clinic visits (≥6 visits vs &amp;lt;6 visits: OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.62-0.98; P = .04), and those with a high anti-VEGF IVI burden in the first year (OR vs low anti-VEGF burden, 0.40; 95% CI, 0.21-0.76; P = .006) were less likely to be LTFU. In contrast, males (OR vs females, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.04-1.52; P = .04), patients living further from the point of care (&amp;gt;200 vs ≤20 km OR, 2.65; 95% CI, 1.85-3.76; P &amp;lt; .001), and those treated with PRP (OR vs anti-VEGF IVIs, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.24-3.55; P &amp;lt; .001) were more likely to be LTFU. Compared with White patients, Black patients (OR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.50-2.95; P &amp;lt; .001) and Hispanic patients (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.05-2.21; P = .03) were more likely to be LTFU.Conclusions and RelevanceThis cohort study found multiple factors associated with LTFU rates. Identifying individuals at higher risk of LTFU and developing targeted strategies may reduce disease progression and vision loss in individuals with PDR.

Published: December 2024

ImportanceDespite published guidelines and a prevalence of pediatric hypertension of approximately 3%, less than 25% of affected children are identified, with 60% not receiving any intervention despite detection. Understanding the knowledge and perceptions of parents or caregivers and health care teams is crucial to identify factors that may contribute to these unacceptably low detection rates.ObjectiveTo examine the knowledge and perceptions of parents and health care teams regarding pediatric hypertension to identify common themes contributing to low hypertension detection.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis qualitative study, interviewed parents of children diagnosed with hypertension who did not follow up within 1 year after diagnosis and health care clinicians (medical assistants, nurses, managers, pediatricians, and nurse practitioners) across 10 clinics in Delaware and Pennsylvania between November 1, 2022, and March 31, 2023.Main Outcomes and MeasuresWith the use of an inductive thematic approach, codes were developed and themes identified by multidisciplinary research investigators.ResultsA total of 38 stakeholders (mean [range] age, 43 [25-64] years; 33 [86%] female), including 13 parents and 25 health care clinicians, were interviewed. The parent sample was diverse based on race (5 [46%] Black, 5 [38%] White, and 3 [23%] other race), ethnicity (5 [38%] Hispanic and 8 [62%] non-Hispanic), and Child Opportunity Index (5 [38%] very low or low, 3 [23%] moderate, and 5 [38%] high or very high). Parents and clinicians demonstrated awareness of the significance of pediatric hypertension. Parents thought blood pressure checks were important; however, clinicians often had competing priorities during annual visits. Both groups expressed skepticism about high blood pressure readings, attributing them to situational factors or white coat syndrome. Parents and clinicians shared concerns about medication use and preferred lifestyle change. Parents advocated for further testing, whereas clinicians exhibited varying perspectives on additional diagnostics, emphasizing targeted testing strategies and cautious medication approaches.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this qualitative study of parents and clinicians, both groups were skeptical of blood pressure readings and expressed concerns about medication use, with a preference for lifestyle changes over medication. Improving detection may require better measurement tools, reassurance about medications, and clear communication on the role of nonpharmacologic treatments, while future interventions should incorporate the perspectives of both parents and clinicians to develop practical strategies for managing pediatric hypertension.
Lost in the Mall? Interrogating Judgements of False Memory
Authors: Andrews Bernice , Brewin Chris R. 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTLoftus and Pickrell's (1995) famous ‘Lost in the Mall’ false memory implantation experiment was recently replicated in Ireland. In this new study standard investigator judgements indicated many more false memories than did participants themselves, consistent with similar studies. We reanalysed the transcripts with investigator‐judged false memories, focusing on recall of six suggested core details. On average, fewer than two details in the fake event were explicitly recalled; 20% with full and 58% with partial false memories did not recall being lost. Participants' own self‐reported recall was associated with remembering more details. Half the participants described potentially true experiences, distinguishable from the fake event; this group recalled more suggested details but tended to remember them differently. The data suggested investigator ratings reflect individual comments made when participants are considering whether they remember different elements of the fake event but may not capture the way these comments are integrated in participants' own recall decisions.
