Competitive Strategy Formulation Through the Fields and Weapons of the Competition Model: Verification of Applicability and Adaptation for a Network of Gymnastics Academies
Authors: Pereira Renato Zanuto , Contador José Celso , Bazanini Roberto 
Published: February 2021

Porter and RBV theorists, although clearly expose their concepts of competitive strategy, does not clearly show how to employ them for the competitive business strategy formulation, which complicates the practical application. This motivated the authors of this article searching as other theorists circumvent this difficulty and found the fields and weapons of the competition model (CAC) developed by Contador, model that combines and integrates the concepts of Porter and RBV. The CAC, simultaneously analog and symbolic model, qualitative and quantitative, consistently structured and scientifically validated by many studies in companies, primordially serves to understand, explain and increase enterprise competitiveness. Contador epistemologically verified the adherence to reality to the companies of their concepts and constructs. To fill the gap of the aforementioned concepts, Contador proposed a process of formulating competitive strategy. As this process has been tested a few times, the authors decided to conduct the study reported herein, whose objective was verify if this process is sufficient for proposing competitive strategies that would increase the competitiveness of a network of gyms. Through an exploratory qualitative and quantitative research and based on Popperian hypothetical-deductive method, it was found the sufficiency of the process because all business strategies proposals were accepted by the principal owner of the gym and only 4.5% operational strategic actions suggested were not, which led to the acceptance of the hypothesis.

Réflexion sur l’accompagnement psychoéducatif des personnes ayant des capacités différentes1
Authors: Sarrazin Coralie , Sylvestre Jean-Philip , Fougeyrollas Patrick 
Published: February 2021

Cet article propose une réflexion sur la psychoéducation en tant que discipline et pratique. La psychoéducation est une discipline appartenant aux sciences sociales. Elle a été fondée par Gilles Gendreau au Québec, dans les années 1960. Cette discipline s’est construite autour des concepts d’adaptation et d’environnement dès sa création. Aujourd’hui, les psychoéducateurs et psychoéducatrices sont amenés(es) à intervenir dans des milieux de plus en plus différents et auprès de personnes d’horizons variés. Il est donc nécessaire de faire évoluer les concepts sur lesquels repose la pratique psychoéducative. En se focalisant sur les personnes aux capacités différentes, les auteurs montrent que la façon dont est défini le concept central d’adaptation amène deux problèmes. Le premier est le manque de prise en compte de l’environnement dans la pratique psychoéducative. Le second est l’approche conformiste de l’accompagnement psychoéducatif. Le modèle de développement humain – processus de production du handicap (MDH-PPH) est proposé en réponse aux problèmes soulevés.
Changement de l’image corporelle : donner un sens à sa vie lors du retour dans la communauté après une brûlure grave1
Authors: Boucher Normand , D’Anjou Lucie , Beauregard Line 
Published: February 2021

Cette étude vise à explorer la manière dont les personnes victimes de brûlures graves s’adaptent au changement identitaire en lien avec l’image corporelle. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été réalisées avec dix adultes (de 27 à 65 ans) ayant subi des brûlures graves et qui ont terminé leur réadaptation. Les participants sont sept hommes et trois femmes, qui sont majoritairement mariés et occupent un emploi. On note que 9 % à 83 % de la surface corporelle est atteinte et que la principale cause est attribuable aux flammes. Les analyses révèlent l’existence d’un processus complexe animé par une forme de mise en scène autour de l’apparence physique et de la différenciation où s’entrecroisent des stratégies de camouflage, d’exposition et de dissimulation des cicatrices, génératrices de sens tant dans le rapport au corps que dans le rapport aux autres vis-à-vis de leurs attitudes. Ces résultats mettent en lumière aussi le rôle clé de facteurs comme les ressources internes révélant la capacité de résilience et l’entourage significatif, le regard d’autrui tant dans le processus de réadaptation que lors du retour dans la communauté. Ils soulèvent des interrogations quant aux pratiques de suivi à long terme et à l’importance d’accroître les interventions psychosociales auprès des proches significatifs.

Background: Recent developments in 3D printing have gave orthopedic surgeons among a novel technology that has the ability to revolutionize preoperative planning. The appearance of 3D printing technology (3DPT) enables the digital preoperative plan & simulation to move from the virtual phase to the reality phase. Numerous fields of medicine are lately benefiting from the operate of 3D printing, including the arising part of 3D printing in orthopedic surgery.
Methods: We searched on PubMed and Google Scholar databases in January 2020 to find papers and studies about using 3D printing in orthopedy for aim of preplanning. The key words for search were (“3D printing” OR “3D-printed Model” OR “three-dimensional Printer”) AND (“Orthopedy” OR “Orthopedics” OR “Orthopedics”) AND (“Surgery” OR “Operation”) AND (“Pre-planning” OR “Plan”) AND (“Fracture” OR “Trauma”) that we used compound. We exclude the papers which their titles or abstracts were not relevant. At last, we select the most related papers to use in this article.
Results: The search on PubMed found 80 Papers and on Google Scholar found 104 papers. After excluding similar and unrelated papers, 44 papers were selected for this review article.
Conclusion: Almost all studies have shown us that using a 3D model can have a very positive effect on the surgical process and its outcomes, as well as patient and surgeon satisfaction. Therefore, we anticipate that this technology will be used in many orthopedic surgeries in the near future.
Deadly dormmate: A case study on Bungarus candidus living among a student dormitory with implications for human safety

Published: February 2021

Abstract1. Snakebite, which was reclassified as a neglected tropical disease by the World Health Organization in 2017, afflicts at least 1.8–2.7 million people worldwide each year. Understanding the habits of medically significant snakes can help us better construct preventative measures which reduce snake–human conflicts and snakebite.2. As a case study, using radio‐telemetry, we monitored a single focal Bungarus candidus individual for 102 days within a suburban landscape (a university dormitory complex) in Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.3. Daily location checks revealed the telemetered snake sheltered within human settlement habitat 75% of the time it was tracked, where we also documented active foraging, a predation event and interactions with humans.4. Despite being captured and relocated to an adjacent forest on two occasions, the focal animal promptly returned to the dormitories. Translocation as a management tool requires meaningful discussion at the local level and further study, considering the costs and potential limitations for effectiveness.5. This case study provides brief insight into the ecology and behaviour of one of Asia's most medically significant snake species and highlights challenges current conflict management practices face locally. Our observations appear to lend credibility to preventative measures such as increasing awareness, encouraging the use of flashlights and carefully maintaining buildings so that snakes cannot enter through crevices or plumbing. Snake–human conflict prevention and mitigation techniques require further evaluation to determine the effectiveness of prescribed management methods.

Published: February 2021

AbstractSMA type 1 is the most severe type, characterized by early onset at <6 months of age, and rapid progression resulting in permanent assisted ventilation before 2 years of life. Supportive care was the only treatment until the approval of nusinersen, an antisense oligonucleotide drug that increases functional SMN protein levels. We present a case of successful weaning from permanent ventilation via tracheostomy with nusinersen in an infant who had been diagnosed with SMA type 1 at the age of one month and had become ventilator‐dependent from the age of 3 months.

AbstractObjectiveTo review the global impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic on stroke care‐metrics and report data from a health system in Houston.MethodsWe performed a meta‐analysis of the published literature reporting stroke admissions, intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) cases, number of thrombolysis (tPA) and thrombectomy (MT) cases, and time metrics (door to needle, DTN; and door to groin time, DTG) during the pandemic compared to prepandemic period. Within our hospital system, between January–June 2019 and January–June 2020, we compared the proportion of stroke admissions and door to tPA and MT times.ResultsA total of 32,640 stroke admissions from 29 studies were assessed. Compared to prepandemic period, the mean ratio of stroke admissions during the pandemic was 70.78% [95% CI, 65.02%, 76.54%], ICH cases was 83.10% [95% CI, 71.01%, 95.17%], tPA cases was 81.74% [95% CI, 72.33%, 91.16%], and MT cases was 88.63% [95% CI, 74.12%, 103.13%], whereas DTN time was 104.48% [95% CI, 95.52%, 113.44%] and DTG was 104.30% [95% CI, 81.99%, 126.61%].In Houston, a total of 4808 cases were assessed. There was an initial drop of ~30% in cases at the pandemic onset. Compared to 2019, there was a significant reduction in mild strokes (NIHSS 1‐5) [N (%), 891 (43) vs 635 (40), P = 0.02]. There were similar mean (SD) (mins) DTN [44 (17) vs 42 (17), P = 0.14] but significantly prolonged DTG times [94 (15) vs 85 (20), P = 0.005] in 2020.InterpretationThe COVID‐19 pandemic led to a global reduction in stroke admissions and treatment interventions and prolonged treatment time metrics.

Published: February 2021

AbstractMetal halide perovskite‐based optoelectronics has experienced an unprecedented development in the last decade, while further improvements of efficiency, stability, and economic gains of such devices require novel engineering concepts. The use of carbon nanoparticles as versatile auxiliary components of perovskite‐based optoelectronic devices is one strategy that offers several advantages in this respect. In this review, first, a brief introduction is offered on metal halide perovskites and on the major performance characteristics of related optoelectronic devices. Then, the versatility and merits of different kinds of carbon nanoparticles, such as graphene quantum dots and carbon dots, are discussed. The tunability of their electronic properties is focused upon, their interactions with perovskite components are analyzed, and different strategies of their implementation in optoelectronic devices are introduced, which include solar cells, light‐emitting diodes, luminescent solar concentrators, and photodetectors. It is shown how carbon nanoparticles influence charge carriers extraction and transport, promote perovskite crystallization, allow for efficient passivation, block ion migration, suppress hysteresis, enhance their environmental stability, and thus improve the performance of perovskite‐based optoelectronic devices.
Liquid Alloy Enabled Solid‐State Batteries for Conformal Electrode–Electrolyte Interfaces

Published: February 2021

AbstractRecent research efforts on solid‐state alkali‐metal batteries are pushing the limit of energy density to a higher level. However, the development of solid‐state batteries is still hindered by many intrinsic limitations, among which the incompatibility between the solid electrolyte and the metal anode is a critical issue attracting massive research attention. A Na–K liquid alloy electrode is designed to form a conformal electrode–electrolyte interface with a solid electrolyte. Much enhanced electrode–electrolyte interfacial contact electrically and physically is observed with liquid metal anodes than solid alkali metals on solid electrolytes. Symmetric cells of the liquid metal electrolytes show much lower overpotential as well as better cyclability than the alkali‐metal electrodes. Excellent cyclability over 500 cycles with reasonable capacity decay and good rate performance of full cells with the sodium rhodizonate and a ferricyanide potassium‐ion cathode are both achieved. By adjusting salt and filler species in the polymer electrolyte, the wettability of liquid metal on the electrolyte can be further improved, and the raised ionic conductivity can further improve the battery performance of such a design.

AbstractPhase change materials provide unique reconfigurable properties for photonic applications that mainly arise from their exotic characteristic to reversibly switch between the amorphous and crystalline nonvolatile phases. Optical pulse based reversible switching of nonvolatile phases is exploited in various nanophotonic devices. However, large area reversible switching is extremely challenging and has hindered its translation into a technologically significant terahertz spectral domain. Here, this limitation is circumvented by exploiting the semiconducting nature of germanium antimony telluride (GST) to achieve dynamic terahertz control at picosecond timescales. It is also shown that the ultrafast response can be actively altered by changing the crystallographic phase of GST. The ease of fabrication of phase change materials allows for the realization of a variable ultrafast terahertz modulator on a flexible platform. The rich properties of phase change materials combined with the diverse functionalities of metamaterials and all‐optical ultrafast control enables an ideal platform for design of efficient terahertz communication devices, terahertz neuromorphic photonics, and smart sensor systems.

AbstractThe platinum single‐atom‐catalyst is verified as a very successful route to approach the size limit of Pt catalysts, while how to further improve the catalytic efficiency of Pt is a fundamental scientific question and is challenging because the size issue of Pt is approached at the ultimate ceiling as single atoms. Here, a new route for further improving Pt catalytic efficiency by cobalt (Co) and Pt dual‐single‐atoms on titanium dioxide (TiO2) surfaces, which contains a fraction of nonbonding oxygen‐coordinated Co–O–Pt dimers, is reported. These Co–Pt dimer sites originate from loading high‐density Pt single‐atoms and Co single‐atoms, with them anchoring randomly on the TiO2 substrate. This dual‐single‐atom catalyst yields 13.4% dimer sites and exhibits an ultrahigh and stable photocatalytic activity with a rate of 43.467 mmol g−1 h−1 and external quantum efficiency of ≈83.4% at 365 nm. This activity far exceeds those of equal amounts of Pt single‐atom and typical Pt clustered catalysts by 1.92 and 1.64 times, respectively. The enhancement mechanism relies on the oxygen‐coordinated Co–O–Pt dimer coupling, which can mutually optimize the electronic states of both Pt and Co sites to weaken H* binding. Namely, the “mute” Co single‐atom is activated by Pt single‐atom and the activity of the Pt atom is further enhanced through the dimer interaction. This strategy of nonbonding interactive dimer sites and the oxygen‐mediated catalytic mechanisms provide emerging rich opportunities for greatly improving the catalytic efficiency and developing novel catalysts with creating new electronic states.
