Postoperative Pain After Robot-Assisted Laparoscopic Ventral Hernia Repair
Authors: Lindström Per , Rietz Göran , Everhov Åsa Hallqvist , Sandblom Gabriel 
Published: October 2021

Background: Robot-assisted ventral hernia repair, when performed correctly, may reduce the risk for pain and discomfort in the postoperative period thus enabling shorter hospital stay. The aim of the present study was to evaluate postoperative pain following robot-assisted laparoscopic repair. The approach was selected after an intraoperative decision to complete the repair as: (1). Transabdominal Preperitoneal Repair (TAPP); (2). Trans-Abdominal RetroMuscular (TARM) repair; or (3). Intraperitoneal Onlay Mesh (IPOM) repair depending on anatomical conditions.Methods: Twenty ventral hernia repairs, 8 primary and 12 incisional, were included between 18th Dec 2017 and 11th Nov 2019. There were 8 women, mean age was 60.3 years, and mean diameter of the defect was 3.8 cm. The repairs were performed at Södersjukhuset (Southern General Hospital, Stockholm) using the Da Vinci Si Surgical System®. Sixteen repairs were completed with the TAPP technique, 2 with the TARM technique, and 2 as IPOM repair.Results: Mean hospital stay was 1.05 days. No postoperative infection was seen, and no recurrence was seen at 1 year. At the 30-day follow-up, fifteen patients (75%) rated their pain as zero or pain that was easily ignored, according to the Ventral Hernia Pain Questionnaire. After 1 year no one had pain that was not easily ignored.Conclusion: The present study shows that robot-assisted laparoscopic ventral hernia is feasible and safe. More randomized controlled trials are needed to show that the potential benefits in terms of shorter operation times, earlier discharge, and less postoperative pain motivate the extra costs associated with the robot technique.
A Deep Neural Network Based on ResNet for Predicting Solutions of Poisson–Boltzmann Equation

Published: October 2021

The Poisson–Boltzmann equation (PBE) arises in various disciplines including biophysics, electrochemistry, and colloid chemistry, leading to the need for efficient and accurate simulations of PBE. However, most of the finite difference/element methods developed so far are rather complicated to implement. In this study, we develop a ResNet-based artificial neural network (ANN) to predict solutions of PBE. Our networks are robust with respect to the locations of charges and shapes of solvent–solute interfaces. To generate train and test sets, we have solved PBE using immersed finite element method (IFEM) proposed in (Kwon, I.; Kwak, D. Y. Discontinuous bubble immersed finite element method for Poisson–Boltzmann equation. Communications in Computational Physics 2019, 25, pp. 928–946). Once the proposed ANNs are trained, one can predict solutions of PBE in almost real time by a simple substitution of information of charges/interfaces into the networks. Thus, our algorithms can be used effectively in various biomolecular simulations including ion-channeling simulations and calculations of diffusion-controlled enzyme reaction rate. The performance of the ANN is reported in the result section. The comparison between IFEM-generated solutions and network-generated solutions shows that root mean squared error are below 5·10−7. Additionally, blow-ups of electrostatic potentials near the singular charge region and abrupt decreases near the interfaces are represented in a reasonable way.

Published: October 2021

Campylobacter jejuni, a prevalent foodborne bacterial pathogen, is mainly transmitted from poultry with few effective prevention approaches. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of microbiota on C. jejuni chicken colonization. Microbiota from specific pathogen-free (SPF) mouse stools were collected as SPF-Aerobe and SPF-Anaerobe. Birds were colonized with SPF-Aerobe or SPF-Anaerobe at day 0 and infected with C. jejuni AR101 at day 12. Notably, C. jejuni AR101 colonized at 5.3 and 5.6 log10 C. jejuni CFU/g chicken cecal digesta at days 21 and 28, respectively, while both SPF-Aerobe and SPF-Anaerobe microbiota reduced pathogen colonization. Notably, SPF-Aerobe and SPF-Anaerobe increased cecal phylum Bacteroidetes and reduced phylum Firmicutes compared to those in the nontransplanted birds. Interestingly, microbiota from noninfected chickens, SPF-Aerobe, or SPF-Anaerobe inhibited AR101 in vitro growth, whereas microbiota from infected birds alone failed to reduce pathogen growth. The bacterium Enterobacter102 isolated from infected birds transplanted with SPF-Aerobe inhibited AR101 in vitro growth and reduced pathogen gut colonization in chickens. Together, SPF mouse microbiota was able to colonize chicken gut and reduce C. jejuni chicken colonization. The findings may help the development of effective strategies to reduce C. jejuni chicken contamination and campylobacteriosis.

Influence of collector doping setback in the quantum transport characteristics of GaN/AlN resonant tunneling diodes
Authors: Encomendero Jimy , Protasenko Vladimir , Jena Debdeep , Xing Huili Grace 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Harnessing resonant tunneling transport in III-nitride semiconductors to boost the operating frequencies of electronic and photonic devices, requires a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that limit coherent tunneling injection. Towards this goal, we present a concerted experimental and theoretical study that elucidates the impact of the collector doping setback on the quantum transport characteristics of GaN/AlN resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs). Employing our analytical model for polar RTDs, we quantify the width of the resonant-tunneling line shape, demonstrating that the setback helps preserve coherent injection. This design results in consistently higher peak-to-valley-current ratios (PVCRs), obtaining a maximum PVCR = 2.01 at cryogenic temperatures.

The problems of security and interests of Russia and China in the Persian gulf region
Authors: Khlopov O. 
Published: October 2021

The article analyses the diplomatic, economic and energy interests of China and Russia in the Middle East. In recent years the role the two countries has been increased in this region, and arms sales, trade and cooperation with the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf are very important for the Russian Federation and the PRC today than in the past.
Despite the fact that China has a relatively recent presence in the region, given the various mega-projects, the growth and influence of the PRC on the world stage, its relations with the countries of the Middle East are expanding. The author argues that within the framework of their initiatives, Russia and China have similar and competing interests. This requires from the both countries to coordinate position over the formation of a collective security system in the Persian Gulf region, and more engagement of China in solving the political problems of the region.

Zum historischen Roman in Frankreich und Italien: Balzac, Flaubert und Manzoni
Authors: Küpper Joachim

On the Historical Novel in France and Italy: Balzac, Flaubert, and Manzoni
Created by Walter Scott, the historical novel owes its immense and persistent success to the fact that it foregrounds an impression linked to the rapid political, social, and economic change at the end of the 18th century: individual fate may be contingent on either the will of a god or the inscrutable lottery of genes; but it is certainly dependent on historical circumstances, as well as an individual’s ability to cope with them. – This essay discusses three prominent 19th-century paradigms of the genre. Focusing primarily on Le Père Goriot, L’Éducation sentimentale, and I promessi sposi, it argues that each of the texts encapsulates conceptualizations of history that remain dominant well unto the present day. Balzac offers a (religiously based) historical optimism. Flaubert’s radical pessimism is grounded in the belief that all historical change is nothing but a series of ultimately irrelevant surface phenomena. Manzoni’s moderate political scepticism suggests that a rigorously rational approach to the problems emerging as a result of historical events may not be able to make this world a better place but might still help to prevent major catastrophes.
Parcoursup : les prémices d’un accroissement de la stratification sociale et scolaire des formations du supérieur
Authors: Couto Marie-Paule , Bugeja-Bloch Fanny , Frouillou Leïla 
Published: October 2021

Le dispositif d’affectation postbaccalauréat Parcoursup, mis en place en 2018, peut être analysé comme un élément favorisant la stratification scolaire et sociale des formations supérieures. Cela tient à l’accentuation de la logique du « libre choix scolaire », mais aussi à la fin de la hiérarchisation des vœux, cruciale dans Admission post-bac (APB), à la prise en compte d’éléments extrascolaires dans les candidatures et au renforcement de la canalisation des aspirations scolaires des candidats. En conséquence, les vœux franciliens, entre APB 2017 et Parcoursup 2018, croissent en faveur des filières STS (sections de technicien supérieur) et des formations privées, au détriment des licences publiques universitaires, notamment dans les établissements non parisiens.
S’occuper des jeunes ou occuper les jeunes ?
Authors: Pombet Thibaud 
Published: October 2021

À l’hôpital, la présence d’animateur·trice·s jeunesse s’est développée depuis les années 1970 en France, en lien avec le déploiement de prises en charge pluriprofessionnelles intégrant les besoins médicaux et psychosociaux des jeunes malades. De quelles manières ces pratiques d’animation sont-elles perçues et qualifiées en fonction des dispositifs et pathologies considérés ? L’article montre que ces professionnel·le·s mettent en œuvre des compétences en lien avec la spécificité de leur métier, et revendiquent un mandat qui leur permet de valoriser la reconnaissance du sujet adolescent dans un milieu fortement médicalisé, mais qui a pour effet de renforcer l’ambiguïté de leur positionnement vis-à-vis des soins.
Les politiques métropolitaines de jeunesse à l’ère des réformes territoriales en France
Authors: Alamel Alexis , Dumont Marc 
Published: October 2021

Cet article se propose d’examiner la construction des professionnalités des nouveaux acteurs métropolitains dans des politiques publiques de jeunesse et les interactions produites entre ces acteurs émergents et des acteurs jeunesse dits « historiques ». Issu d’une enquête réalisée dans le cadre d’une recherche-action insérée dans un programme d’investissements d’avenir (PIA) porté par la Métropole européenne de Lille (MEL), l’article s’appuie sur l’analyse de 17 entretiens semi-directifs auprès de professionnels de la jeunesse aux différents échelons territoriaux. Les résultats présentés illustrent d’une part l’hétérogénéité des parcours professionnels de ces acteurs, notamment émergents, et d’autre part la façon dont la construction de ces nouvelles professionnalités a interagi avec les pratiques et les rôles des professionnels historiques de la jeunesse.
« Où est ma mère ? » : de l’anonymat à l’activisme international
Authors: Mijit Mukaddas , Pulat Akida , Uyghur Halmurat H. , Frangville Vanessa , B. H. 
Published: October 2021

Cette partie est composée d’une brève présentation de l’activisme ouïghour depuis 2018, suivie de deux entretiens avec Akida Dawut, la fille de la chercheuse Rahile Dawut, et Halmurat Uyghur, un médecin ouïghour finlandais, dont les vies ont basculé lorsqu’ils n’ont pu trouver de réponse à la question qui les tourmentait depuis 2017 : « Où est ma mère ? ». Leur engagement actif dans la cause ouïghoure est en effet le résultat d’incertitudes et d’inquiétudes personnelles, bien qu’il ait pris au cours des trois dernières années, un ton militant plus générique, plus élaboré et sur le plus long terme. L’objectif ici est de souligner les points de basculement dans leur nouvelle carrière d’activiste, et de comprendre les attentes et les ambitions d’une nouvelle génération d’activistes ouïghours, qui a émergé en réaction à la crise actuelle.
Effet d’un club de lecture sur le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle, les attentes et les intentions d’étudiantes en sciences infirmières à l’égard de l’utilisation des résultats probants
Authors: Gibbons Caroline , Bourque Jimmy , Aubry Tim 
Published: October 2021

Introduction : les associations infirmières exigent le développement d’habiletés à intégrer les résultats probants dans la pratique pour favoriser la qualité des soins. Contexte : le manque de confiance personnelle à l’égard des étapes opérationnelles de la pratique informée par les résultats probants serait une barrière à l’intégration des résultats probants à la pratique infirmière. Objectif : évaluer l’effet d’un club de lecture (CL) sur le sentiment d’efficacité personnelle (SEP), les attentes et les intentions d’étudiantes envers l’utilisation des résultats probants. Méthode : devis quasi expérimental, longitudinal avec groupe de comparaison non randomisé. Résultats : la progression du SEP envers l’utilisation des résultats probants était favorable aux étudiantes ayant participé au CL ( n = 48) comparativement aux étudiantes qui ont reçu une modalité pédagogique conventionnelle (MPC) ( n = 50), mais il n’y a pas eu d’effet d’interaction significatif groupe x temps pour les attentes ou les intentions. Discussion : les changements positifs significatifs au-delà de la MPC peuvent s’expliquer par le fait que le CL intégrait les modes d’influence sur le SEP. Conclusion : l’effet positif associé au CL sur le SEP est difficile à maintenir sans pratique continue. Il est important de maintenir des attentes de résultats élevées dans la formation infirmière.

BackgroundUnderstanding COVID-19 epidemiology is crucial to clinical care and to clinical trial design and interpretation.ObjectiveTo describe characteristics, treatment, and outcomes among patients hospitalized with COVID-19 early in the pandemic.MethodsA retrospective cohort study of consecutive adult patients with laboratory-confirmed, symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection admitted to 57 US hospitals from March 1 to April 1, 2020.ResultsOf 1480 inpatients with COVID-19, median (IQR) age was 62.0 (49.4-72.9) years, 649 (43.9%) were female, and 822 of 1338 (61.4%) were non-White or Hispanic/Latino. Intensive care unit admission occurred in 575 patients (38.9%), mostly within 4 days of hospital presentation. Respiratory failure affected 583 patients (39.4%), including 284 (19.2%) within 24 hours of hospital presentation and 413 (27.9%) who received invasive mechanical ventilation. Median (IQR) hospital stay was 8 (5-15) days overall and 15 (9-24) days among intensive care unit patients. Hospital mortality was 17.7% (n = 262). Risk factors for hospital death identified by penalized multivariable regression included older age; male sex; comorbidity burden; symptoms-to-admission interval; hypotension; hypoxemia; and higher white blood cell count, creatinine level, respiratory rate, and heart rate. Of 1218 survivors, 221 (18.1%) required new respiratory support at discharge and 259 of 1153 (22.5%) admitted from home required new health care services.ConclusionsIn a geographically diverse early-pandemic COVID-19 cohort with complete hospital folllow-up, hospital mortality was associated with older age, comorbidity burden, and male sex. Intensive care unit admissions occurred early and were associated with protracted hospital stays. Survivors often required new health care services or respiratory support at discharge.
