L’Union européenne et la protection sociale : c’est compliqué !
Authors: Crespy Amandine 
Published: November 2021

L’intervention de l’Union européenne (UE) sur le social est aussi complexe que fragmentaire et se déploie de manière à la fois directe et indirecte. On peut distinguer quatre grands champs d’action européens : la réglementation (mobilité, droit du travail, non-discrimination) ; le dialogue social européen ; la redistribution par les fonds ; et la coordination souple des réformes des systèmes sociaux. Cet article s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux questions de la coordination de la sécurité sociale des travailleurs en situation de mobilité et de l’ouverture mutuelle des systèmes nationaux. Si les droits des travailleurs tendent à s’accroître avec le temps, même de manière marginale, l’accès des non-actifs aux prestations sociales est, lui, remis en question. Au-delà des débats politiques, la coopération administrative s’intensifie via la création de commissions, de réseaux numériques d’échange de documents, de réseaux d’experts et même d’une Autorité européenne du travail.
Égalité entre hommes et femmes et politiques familiales : un sujet prioritaire pour l’Union européenne et l’OCDE
Authors: Collombet Catherine 
Published: November 2021

L’OCDE et la Commission européenne promeuvent auprès de leurs États membres des politiques familiales qui favorisent l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes, vue comme une valeur en soi autant qu’une source de croissance. Deux leviers décisifs sont mis en avant par ces institutions pour équilibrer la répartition des tâches parentales et professionnelles : les services d’accueil du jeune enfant et les congés parentaux, l’efficacité de ces derniers étant conditionnée cependant à certaines caractéristiques. Après avoir présenté les fondements du discours prescripteur de l’Union européenne et de l’OCDE en faveur de l’égalité des sexes, cet article étudie leurs interventions en matière d’accueil du jeune enfant puis de congés parentaux.
Le développement de la validation des acquis de l’expérience (VAE) à l’université : quels défis, quels bénéficiaires ?
Authors: Havet Nathalie , Bayart Caroline , Lenne Nicolas 
Published: November 2021

Initialement destinée à un public peu ou pas diplômé, la VAE a considérablement évolué depuis 2002. Si ce mode d’acquisition d’un diplôme reste encore modeste dans les universités françaises, ses enjeux sont importants pour permettre le développement de la formation tout au long de la vie. Dans ce contexte, notre article s’interroge sur les parcours de VAE à l’université. Il cherche à savoir si ces parcours ont des spécificités par rapport aux autres parcours de VAE, en termes de recevabilité, d’abandon et de validation. Des analyses économétriques, menées à partir des données administratives longitudinales de candidats à la VAE dans une grande université française entre 2009 et 2018, montrent que la VAE universitaire se distingue sur plusieurs plans : le profil des candidats, les étapes où s’opère la sélection ou auto-sélection des candidats et les déterminants des décisions de validation du jury, qu’il s’agisse de caractéristiques individuelles ou du diplôme visé.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT

Background:
Sleeve gastrectomy is a stapler dependent bariatric procedure. A stapleless sleeve gastrectomy can be necessary for certain circumstances.

Aims:
Here, we aimed to show whether laparoscopic stapleless sleeve gastrectomy with natural orifice specimen extraction (NOSE) can be an alternative procedure to stapled sleeve gastrectomy.

Patients and Methods:
In the stapleless group (n = 6), no staplers were used and after vertical resection of the stomach by energy devices, the stomach remnant was closed by two rows of intracorporeal sutures. The resected specimen was removed through the mouth using an endoscopic snare. In the stapler group (n = 7), sleeve gastrectomy was carried out with linear stapler under the guidance of 36 Fr bougie. The specimens were extracted from the left upper quadrant trocar site.

Results:
A total of 13 patients were compared (stapleless = 6 and stapled group = 7). All the sleeve gastrectomies were completed laparoscopically. The operative time was longer at 200 minutes (range 120-300) versus 120 minutes, (range 90-200) p = 0.07) and the amount of bleeding was higher at 100 ml (range 50-200) versus 30 ml (range 10-50) (p = 0.004) in the stapleless group. Leakage and gastrointestinal bleeding were seen in the stapleless group but no complications were found in the stapler group. No statistically significant difference was found between the metabolic outcomes of the two groups after the operation (p > 0.05). Decrease in BMI at similar rates was observed in 5 postoperative year (stapleless group: 35 kg/m2 (range 31-39) versus stapled group: 36.5 kg/m2 (range 31-39), p > 0.05).

Conclusion:
Laparoscopic stapleless sleeve gastrectomy with natural orifice specimen extraction has longer procedure time, more blood loss and complications.

ABSTRACT

Background:
Determining the etiology, epidemiology, pattern, and treatment of nasal bone fractures and the associated soft tissue injuries in a population will be beneficial for the prevention, rapid and correct diagnosis, and adequate management of this pathology in order to minimize postoperative complications.

Patients and Methods:
This study retrospectively evaluated the patients admitted and treated for nasal bone fractures in a university clinic of oral and maxillofacial surgery in Romania over a 10-year period. Following statistical analysis, evaluation and correlation of the monitored variables, a P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:
Nasal bone fractures had the highest incidence among men (88.30%), aged 20–29 years (33.33%), with no education (33.33%), interpersonal violence being the main cause in this category of patients (P = 0.004; P = 0.005; P = 0.005). In urban environment (55.9%), nasal bone fractures through aggression and road traffic accidents were predominant, while in rural areas (44.10%), those caused by domestic accidents and animal attacks prevailed (P = 0.551). Nondisplaced (81.10%), closed (85.60%) and involving the nasal septum fractures (51.35%) were preponderant. Hematoma was the most frequent associated soft tissue injury (86.49%), its incidence being increased in the case of displaced (P = 1.000) and open fractures (P = 0.692). The most frequent treatment method was close nasal reduction (CNR) + closed septoplasty (51.35%). The most frequent complication was malunion (7.2%), secondary to CNR without septoplasty (P = 0.037).

Conclusions:
The main etiology of nasal bone fractures was interpersonal violence, which mainly affected men, aged 20–39 years, with a low level of education, living in urban areas. Implementing laws to fight interpersonal aggression and increase the education level of the population would lead to a considerable reduction in the incidence of this pathology. Patients treated by CNR + closed septoplasty and ORIF had the best postoperative evolution. Immediate septoplasty in the case of associated septal fractures significantly decreased the rate of postoperative complications.

Published: November 2021

ABSTRACT

Background:
Cancer is one of the biggest health problems in the world. Colon adenocarcinoma is the third most common cancer and is the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths. The majority of colon adenocarcinomas originate from a previous adenoma. Cyclin D1 expression and Ki-67 proliferation index increase as the risk of malignancy transformation increases in adenomas.

Aims:
This study aims to share the results of the Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 studies we performed in colon adenoma and colon adenocarcinoma cases in our hospital with the literature and contribute to the diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Materials and Methods:
Surgical materials of 40 colon adenocarcinomas and 40 colon adenomas were histopathologically re-evaluated. Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 immunohistochemical staining were applied to these materials. Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 staining rates were compared in colon adenocarcinomas and adenomas.

Results:
Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 staining rates were increased in colon adenocarcinoma cases compared to colon adenoma. There was a significant difference between the colon adenocarcinoma and colon adenoma case groups in terms of Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 staining scores.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, immunohistochemical markers such as Cyclin D1 and Ki-67 will be helpful in differential diagnosis when there is difficulty in evaluating routine Hematoxylin-Eosin stained preparations between adenocarcinomas and adenomas.

ABSTRACT

Background:
The aim of this study was to compare the anthropometric and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) measurements taken from risk-free and risky groups by using the modified Mallampati score (MMS).

Patients and Methods:
A total of 176 volunteers between the ages of 18 and 65 in four different MMS classes were included in the study. The patients in classes MMS I and MMS II were accepted as risk-free and the patients in classes MMS III and MMS IV were accepted as risky for intubation. The Mann–Whitney U test was performed on the data to compare the anthropometric and radiological measurements taken from the risk-free and risky groups. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was applied to the parameters that had a statistically significant difference.

Results:
According to the analysis results, statistically significant differences were found in the neck circumference (NC), maximum interincisal distance (MID), thyromental distance (TMD) and sternomental distance (SMD) of the anthropometric measurements of men and women between the risk-free and risky groups (P < 0.05). In terms of CBCT measurements, the thickness of the tongue (TT), distance between the uvula and posterior wall of pharynx (U-Ph), distance between posterior nasal spine and nasopharynx (Snp-Nph) and length of the epiglottis (LE) were found to have statistically significant differences between the risk-free and risky groups of men and women (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
The NC, MID, TMD and SMD anthropometric measurements and TT, U-Ph, Snp-Nph and LE radiologic measurements were found to support MMS, which is one of the most widely used bedside intubation prediction tests. In addition to the inclusion of CBCT for intubation prediction, U-Ph and Snp-Nph radiologic measurements were added as difficult intubation markers.

ABSTRACT.
Seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) was adopted in Mali in 2012 for preventing malaria in children younger than 5 years. Although this strategy has been highly effective in reducing childhood malaria, an uptick in malaria occurrence has occurred in children 5 to 15 years of age. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of providing SMC to older children. A cohort of 350 children age 5 to 14 years were monitored during the 2019 transmission season in Dangassa, Mali. The intervention group received five monthly rounds of sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine, whereas the control group consisted of untreated children. Community acceptance for extending SMC was assessed during the final round. Logistic regression models were applied to compare the risk of Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection, anemia, and fever between the intervention and control groups. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to compare the time to P. falciparum parasitemia infection between the groups. The community acceptance rate was 96.5% (139 of 144). Significant declines were observed in the prevalence of P. falciparum parasitemia (adjusted odds ratio, 0.22; 95% CI, 0.11–0.42) and anemia (adjusted odds ratio, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.07–0.28) in the intervention group compared with the control group. The cumulative incidence of P. falciparum infections was significantly greater (75.4%, 104 of 138) in the control group compared with the intervention group (40.7%, 61 of 143, P = 0.001). This study reveals that expanding SMC to older children is likely feasible, has high community acceptance, and is in reducing uncomplicated malaria and anemia in older children.

Authors: Kannas Haitham , Alhassan Mahmoud , Wafi Abdallah M. S. 
Published: November 2021

Slabs are one of the most basic components concerning the cost of the structure, because of the number of building materials utilized. It is of incentive to think about the current technologies available, meaning to make these slabs cost less or even improve its behaviour. Cobiax and post-tension slabs systems show up as an appropriate alternative. In light of this reason, this paper focuses on demonstrating the advantages and disadvantages of both Cobiax and post-tension systems. Nowadays, these systems are very popular all around the world. It is very necessary to have a wide understanding of the differences in cost and the construction duration between these two systems and have good knowledge about the advantages and disadvantages of both types. Firstly, the properties of these types of slabs have been reported and the advantages and disadvantages for both systems and then the cost and time has been compared, which are the most important factors for the owners. Finally, it has been made a comparison between the reinforcement quantities, concrete quantities, final cost and duration to finalize the construction stage. As a result, it has been found that the post-tension system is more economical than the Cobiax system according to reinforcement quantities, on the other hand, Cobiax system is more economical in concrete quantities which leads to lighter buildings and fewer reinforcement quantities in foundations. When the construction duration has been considered, it has been found that the post-tension is the quickest system in the construction field because it is increasing the strength and durability of the structure which the Cobiax system cannot provide.
Theoretical and applied aspects of the use of agricultural and forest meliorative plantations of Ukraine for energy purposes
Authors: Roik M. V. , Fuchylo Ya. D. , Hanzhenko O. M. 
Published: November 2021

Protective forest plantations are an important part of forest-agricultural landscapes and one of the most effective long-term and relatively inexpensive measures to combat wind and water soil erosion. They have a positive effect on the microclimate of the surrounding areas and can significantly increase crop yields. Also, under certain conditions, they can become an important source of bioenergy feedstock.
Goal. Development of theoretical bases and practical measures of the use of agroforestry reclamation plantations of Ukraine for energy purposes.
Methods. In the course of the research it was envisaged to develop schemes of protective forest plantations on the basis of the analysis of the existing information, long-term production and scientific experience which, at full performance of ecological functions, can be used for obtaining bioenergy feedstock.
Results. It is established that for the simultaneous use of protective forest plantations as a source of energy biomass it is necessary to include fast-growing woody plants (willow, poplar, acacia, maple, etc.) in rows or backstage, which are expected to be periodically cut for biomass. Such plants are then intensively restored by growth from stumps. The basis of such plantations for long-term and permanent performance of their protective functions should mainly consists of the rows of oak trees.
Conclusions. Protective forest plantations, in addition to the positive impact on the microclimate of the environment and a significant increase in the productivity of agricultural land, can also play an important role as a source of bioenergy feedstock. Today, forest protection plantations are losing their functions for various reasons and need to be reconstructed. At the same time, along with the restoration of protective plantations, it will be possible to obtain about 54.6 million tons of wood for energy needs and form new protective plantations, which, along with improving the ecological environment, will create a reliable feedstock base for bioenergy. The schemes presented in the article can be applied at the stage of restoration and expansion of the field protection system to increase their energy role.

Authors: Kvak V. M. , Potapenko L. V. , Skachok L. M. , Horbachenko N. I. 
Published: November 2021

Purpose. Investigate the accumulation of 137Cs and 90Sr radionuclides in the biomass of giant miscanthus depending on the agronomic methods of growing it on radioactively contaminated soils in Polissia.
Method. Biomorphological, radiometric, lysometric, statistical, comparative and computational.
Results. The article presents the results of research to study the accumulation of radionuclides 137Cs and 90Sr in the biomass of giant miscanthus. It was found that in the variants where the bioenergy crop was grown on soils contaminated with radionuclides, the accumulation of 137Cs in the biomass in the range of 14.7–18.6 Bq/kg and 90Sr — 0.46–0.54 Bq/kg was observed. The use of mineral fertilizers together with liming and inoculation with giant miscanthus with the microbial preparation Polymyxobacterin and treatment with organo-mineral fertilizer BioMAG helped to reduce the accumulation of radionuclides in the biomass of giant miscanthus as following: 90Sr — by 15% and 137Cs by 21%. It was investigated that the use of these agronomic techniques contributed to the formation of dry biomass yield at the level of 9.96 t/ha on average over three years of cultivation, which is 28% higher than the control.
Conclusion. It is established that the use of mineral fertilization in combination with liming, inoculation of rhizomes of giant miscanthus with the microbial drug Polymyxobacterin and pre-planting treatment with organo-mineral fertilizer BioMAG contributes to a significant increase in dry biomass yield with reducing 90Sr and 137Cs. The accumulation of these radioactive isotopes in the biomass of giant miscanthus when grown on radionuclide-contaminated soils did not exceed the permissible level for cereal grains, and the use of agronomic techniques helped to reduce the content of 90Sr by 9–15% and 137Cs by 12–21% compared to control. The lowest coefficients of radionuclide conversion into biomass of giant miscanthus were obtained for both 90Sr (0.15) and 137Cs (0.24) for the use of mineral fertilizers together with liming and inoculation of giant mismanthus rizomes with Polymyxobacterin and treatment with BioMAG organo-mineral fertilizer.
