Investigation of CATS aerosol products and application toward global diurnal variation of aerosols
Authors: Lee Logan , Zhang Jianglong , Reid Jeffrey S. , Yorks John E. 
Published: October 2019

Abstract. We present a comparison of 1064 nm aerosol optical depth (AOD) and aerosol
extinction profiles from the Cloud-Aerosol Transport System (CATS) level 2
aerosol product with collocated Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) AOD, Moderate Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Aqua
and Terra Dark Target AOD and
Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) AOD and extinction
data for the period of March 2015–October 2017. Upon quality-assurance checks of
CATS data, reasonable agreement is found between aerosol data from CATS and
other sensors. Using quality-assured CATS aerosol data, for the first time,
variations in AODs and aerosol extinction profiles are evaluated at 00:00, 06:00,
12:00 and 18:00 UTC (and/or 00:00, 06:00, 12:00 and 18:00 local time or LT) on both regional and global scales. This study suggests that marginal
variations are found in AOD from a global mean perspective, with the minimum
aerosol extinction values found at 18:00 LT near the surface
layer for global oceans, for both the June–November and December–May
seasons. Over land, below 500 m, the daily minimum and maximum aerosol
extinction values are found at 12:00 and 00:00/06:00 LT,
respectively. Strong diurnal variations are also found over north Africa, the Middle East and
India for the December–May season, and over north Africa, south Africa,
the Middle East and India for the June–November season.

Published: October 2019

Introduction:
Physiotherapy is a management option for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. This study examines the influence of changes in pelvic tilt and hip adduction on the range of motion (ROM) of the hip.

Methods:
Ten FAI hips were used to simulate impingement at two positions: (1) 20° internal rotation (IR) with 100° flexion and 10° adduction and (2) 40° IR with 35° flexion and 10° adduction; the amount of IR was measured at the point of bony impingement or to the defined limit. Each simulation was performed at neutral and 5° and 10° anterior and posterior pelvic tilt. Then, the hip was placed in 10° of abduction, and all simulations were repeated.

Results:
With neutral pelvic tilt, impingement occurred at 4.3 ± 8.4° of IR at the high-flexion position. An increase in anterior pelvic tilt led to a loss of IR, that is, earlier occurrence of FAI, whereas an increase in posterior pelvic tilt led to an increase in IR, that is, later occurrence of FAI. At the high-flexion position, abduction provided more IR before impingement (neutral: 9.1 ± 5.7°, P < 0.01; 10° anterior tilt: 14.6 ± 5.2°, P < 0.01; 10° posterior tilt: 4.2 ± 3.7° IR, P = 0.01). Placing the hip in abduction and posteriorly tilting the pelvis produce a combined effect that increased IR relative to the neutrally tilted pelvis (5° posterior tilt: 11.4 ± 7.6°, P = 0.01; 10° posterior tilt: 12.8 ± 7.6°, P < 0.01). The ROM in the mid-flexion position was not affected by any combination of pelvic tilt and hip abduction or adduction (average IR: 37.4 ± 5.0°, P > 0.05).

Conclusions:
Abduction and posterior pelvic tilt increased the impingement-free ROM in the hips with FAI. Thus, rehabilitation aimed at altering the tilt of the pelvis may reduce the frequency of impingement and limit further joint damage.

Représentations de la performance par les dirigeants de la radio publique : analyse longitudinale franco-suisse (1969-2015)
Authors: Morgana Laurence 
Published: October 2019

Le concept de performance appliqué à la sphère publique s’est constitué au fil des réformes administratives de « modernisation » des services publics. L’objet de cette recherche est d’analyser les évolutions des représentations de la performance dans les discours des dirigeants publics, en nous appuyant sur les analyses conventionnalistes (Boltanski et Thévenot, 1991). Dans cette perspective, nous avons réalisé une analyse longitudinale appliquée sur la période 1969-2015 des services publics radiophoniques français et helvétique avec le logiciel ALCESTE.
Le modèle de revenu comme stratégie de vente des produits de base : cas des coopératives camerounaises de cacao et de café
Authors: Mandeng Ma Ntamack Jules 
Published: October 2019

Cet article propose le modèle de revenu comme stratégie de vente des produits de base aux producteurs pour lesquels les modèles existants sont inopérants. Il convoque la théorie du jeu et une régression multiple couplée d’un processus ARCH. Les données proviennent du CICC. Les résultats montrent que le revenu est expliqué par les cours futurs et par 25 % du différentiel des cours. Ce modèle est plus stable et moins contraignant. C’est une des solutions pour la gestion du risque de prix. Il poursuit le même objectif que celui des autres travaux : la réduction des fluctuations.
Le rôle de l’Église catholique, du Conseil de la vie française et de Paul-Émile Gosselin dans le développement de la radio française au Canada, 1940-1955
Authors: Canuel Alain 
Published: October 2019

Notre étude se propose de mettre en relief le soutien de l’Église catholique et du Conseil de la vie française de même que la contribution majeure de Paul-Émile Gosselin dans le développement de la radio française au Canada au cours des années 1940-1955. À travers les luttes qui se sont poursuivies tant aux niveaux technique, administratif, politique que financier, les représentants de l’Église catholique sont intervenus dans le but manifeste de préserver les valeurs fondamentales des Canadiens français, notamment la langue, la culture et la religion. La station CKSB de Saint-Boniface, Manitoba, inaugurée en 1946, sert de point d’ancrage à notre analyse. Nous mettons également en évidence le rôle de l’Église en ce qui a trait à la campagne de financement de 1944 pour la mise sur pied de quatre stations dans l’Ouest. Nous terminons notre analyse en soulignant l’appui de membres du clergé catholique et d’hommes politiques face aux difficultés rencontrées par Adrien Pouliot comme membre du Bureau des gouverneurs lors de sa réélection en février 1945.
LES VOIX DE PAT’
Authors: Brouillette Marc André 
Published: October 2019

Placée sous le signe de la dualité, l’oeuvre poétique de Desbiens montre sous
divers angles un sujet déchiré, à l’écart de lui-même et des personnes qui
l’entourent. L’un des aspects de cette dualité repose sur l’oralité, qui vient
souligner l’importance accordée à la voix, mais aussi à l’écoute. Dans cet article,
l’auteur analyse différentes postures qu’empruntent les voix — celles du sujet, mais
aussi celles des autres — afin de montrer en quoi elles établissent un mode d’écoute
qui révèle un rapport déterminant à la communauté. Que ce soit par la présence de la
chanson populaire, du discours direct ou encore de dialogues, la voix canalise des
tensions et des différences auxquelles Desbiens souhaite qu’on tende
l’oreille.
SUJET MINORISÉ ET REPRÉSENTATIONS DE LA SOCIÉTÉ CAPITALISTE DANS LA POÉSIE DE PATRICE DESBIENS
Authors: Paré François 
Published: October 2019

Dans l’oeuvre de Patrice Desbiens, les figures de l’approximation, tels la comparaison et le pronom indéfini « on », de même que la remise en question des structures du capital, renvoient à la précarité dynamique du sujet lyrique et permettent d’identifier ses modes de survie, assez souvent ironiques, parmi la panoplie toujours changeante de ses identités. Comme l’étude de certains recueils le démontre, la minorisation est en effet moins politique qu’économique, moins institutionnelle que symbolique. Chez cet écrivain, l’itinérance et une forte disjonction socioéconomique relèvent justement de l’indécidabilité de l’appartenance identitaire du sujet franco-ontarien, dans le contexte d’une société marchande, impuissante à donner sens et cohésion à la vie collective.
LA MODERNITÉ DANS LES ÉTUDES THÉÂTRALES AU QUÉBEC, AU CANADA ET AUX ÉTATS-UNIS1
Authors: Jubinville Yves 
Published: October 2019

Les études théâtrales québécoises sont le lieu de débats et de tensions multiples depuis plusieurs années qui résultent, pour une part, de l’emplacement géographique et culturel particulier qu’elles occupent entre l’Europe et l’Amérique du Nord. Cette étude se propose de cerner le paysage épistémologique de la discipline au Québec en examinant un corpus d’écrits issus de trois communautés savantes portant sur la question de la modernité. Au regard du traitement réservé à cette question par des chercheurs québécois, canadiens et américains, l’analyse tente de retracer le développement de ce domaine de recherche depuis son établissement dans les années 1980 et de nommer les défis qui l’attendent dans un contexte de décloisonnement disciplinaire et d’érosion du théâtre comme référence commune au sein de la culture québécoise.
Morphology of Spring Ligament Fibrocartilage Complex Lesions
Authors: Domzalski Marcin , Kwapisz Adam , Zabierek Sebastian 
Published: October 2019

Background:
The spring ligament fibrocartilage complex (SLFC) is an important static foot stabilizer comprising the superomedial ligament (SML) and the inferior ligament, with anatomical variations (third ligament). The aim of this study was to describe the patterns of the lesions found during SLFC surgery, to allow direct comparison between the results with various surgical techniques.

Methods:
Fourteen consecutive patients with SLFC lesions were analyzed during surgical treatment. The mean patient age was 37.3 years, and the mean time from injury was 6.9 months. Intraoperative assessments and anatomical descriptions of the lesions were collected.

Results:
Three types of lesion were found. In 13 of 14 cases, only the superomedial ligament was involved: five superomedial ligament distentions and eight superomedial ligament ruptures. In one case, total SLFC (superomedial and inferior ligaments) rupture was observed.

Conclusions:
The first classification of SLFC lesions is presented, which is simple, consistent, and based on anatomical description.

Published: October 2019

Processar uma tonelada de cana-de-açúcar produz em média 250 kg de bagaço como subproduto. Nos centros urbanos o consumo está atrelado ao descarte inadequado, não sendo possível, estimar, o volume de subproduto gerado. Sendo assim, objetivou-se estimar o nível de fitotoxicidade do extrato solubilizado do bagaço da cana residual (BCR) sobre a germinação de sementes de alface (Lactuca sativa L.). Adotou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado com seis tratamentos no grupo teste (BCR + água destilada = 4,0ml): T1 (0,1 mL BCR + 3,99 mL), T2 (0,4 mL BCR + 3,6 mL), T3 (0,7 mL BCR + 3,3 mL), T4 (1,0 mL BCR + 3,0 mL), T5 (2,0 mL BCR + 2,0 mL), T6 (3,0 mL BCR + 1,0 mL de água destilada) e um grupo controle (água destilada), todos em triplicata. Pequenas doses do BCR apresentaram efeito fitotóxico sobre a alface. A CL50 calculada para a alface (Lactuca sativa L.) foi de 1,78 mL. Haja vista que a espécie em estudo é um organismo-teste padrão, é possível estimar que o BCR apresenta potencial de contaminação sobre outras espécies vegetais, logo, a fim de mitigar esse efeito, deve-se dar atenção especial ao descarte desse resíduo.

Published: October 2019

Aim: This research was designed to evaluate the effects of different levels of three mutagens on two pepper varieties with a vision of choosing mutants with high values in biochemical contents that may possibly be valuable in breeding improved varieties of the plant.
Methods: Seeds of pepper were exposed to varying doses of gamma rays 60Co (50, 100, 150, and 200Gy), X-ray doses (40, 60, 80, and 100KV) and sodium azide (0.01, 0.02, 0.03 and 0.04%). The treated seeds and the controls were grown in the Botanic Garden of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka using a Completely Randomized Design.
Results: The result showed that vitamin C and β-carotene ranged from 5.89 – 26.88 and 2.62 – 11.35 mg/100 g, Fe and Ca (14.70 and 13.78 mg/100 g) were highest in Shombo at 100Gy. Values ranging from 0.36-2.00 and 3.96 – 18.82 mg/100 g were recorded for flavonoid and alkaloid content across all treatment combinations. The result also revealed that at 100Kv and 150Gy, ash content increased in both varieties. The highest protein concentration of 9.57% was recorded at 100Kv of X-ray in Shombo and 6.96% at 150Gy of gamma irradiation in Tatase variety. Principal component analysis explained extracted five principal axis which accounted for the variability of 72.54%.
Conclusion: This study reveals that biochemical content in pepper could be improved with exposure to mutagens especially gamma irradiation.

AbstractInterstitial brachytherapy (IBT) is often utilized to treat women with bulky endometrial or cervical cancers not amendable to intracavitary treatments. A modern trend in IBT is the utilization of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with a high dose rate (HDR) afterloader for conformal 3D image‐based treatments. The challenging part of this procedure is to properly complete many sequenced and co‐related physics preparations. We presented the physics preparations and clinical workflow required for implementing MRI‐based HDR IBT (MRI‐HDR‐IBT) of gynecologic cancer patients in a high‐volume brachytherapy center. The present document is designed to focus on the clinical steps required from a physicist’s standpoint. Those steps include: (a) testing IBT equipment with MRI scanner, (b) preparation of templates and catheters, (c) preparation of MRI line markers, (d) acquisition, importation and registration of MRI images, (e) development of treatment plans and (f) treatment evaluation and documentation. The checklists of imaging acquisition, registration and plan development are also presented. Based on the TG‐100 recommendations, a workflow chart, a fault tree analysis and an error‐solution table listing the speculated errors and solutions of each step are provided. Our workflow and practice indicated the MRI‐HDR‐IBT is achievable in most radiation oncology clinics if the following equipment is available: MRI scanner, CT (computed tomography) scanner, MRI/CT compatible templates and applicators, MRI line markers, HDR afterloader and a brachytherapy treatment planning system capable of utilizing MRI images. The OR/procedure room availability and anesthesiology support are also important. The techniques and approaches adopted from the GEC‐ESTRO (Groupe Européen de Curiethérapie ‐ European Society for Therapeutic Radiology and Oncology) recommendations and other publications are proven to be feasible. The MRI‐HDR‐IBT program can be developed over time and progressively validated through clinical experience, this document is expected to serve as a reference workflow guideline for implementing and performing the procedure.

ObjectiveTo identify distinct recovery trajectories of acute flares of knee pain and associated participant characteristics.MethodsData were from the FLARE randomized controlled trial, a multicenter trial in 27 primary care centers in the UK and Netherlands of 3 regimes of oral nonsteroidal antiinflammatory therapy for acute flares of knee pain. Individuals with a history of inflammatory/crystal arthritis, fibromyalgia, and chronic pain syndrome were excluded. Latent class growth analysis was applied to measures of pain intensity repeated over 5 days to identify distinct recovery trajectories. The concurrent courses of interference with activity, stiffness, and swelling for each trajectory group were modelled using generalized estimating equations. Participant age, sex, obesity, and osteoarthritis diagnosis were described for each trajectory group.ResultsA total of 449 participants were included (median age 55 years, 41% female, 35% obese, and 42% diagnosed with osteoarthritis). A 6‐group cubic model was deemed optimal, with trajectories distinguished by rate of pain reduction and absolute level at final measurement. At the extremes were rapid and near‐complete resolution (n = 41, 9%) and persistent, high pain (n = 25, 6%), but most participants showed a reduction and plateau in pain severity within 3–5 days. Within each pain trajectory group, interference with activity, stiffness, and swelling followed the same course as pain. Baseline characteristics did not differ substantially between trajectory groups.ConclusionEven under a well‐adhered to regime of oral nonsteroidal antiinflammatory medication, recovery following acute flares of knee pain is heterogeneous. Our observations that favorable trajectories are apparent within 3–5 days can help to inform treatment decision‐making in the patient–health care professional consultation.

AbstractAimThe present study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of short‐term nutritional intervention with an oral elemental diet (ED; Elental; EA Pharma Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan) at 300 kcal/day for 6‐8 weeks in the early post‐gastrectomy period on postoperative long‐term body weight loss (BWL).MethodsWe analyzed consecutive patients who were randomly divided to receive the regular diet with or without ED. The control group received regular diet alone post‐gastrectomy, whereas the ED group received 300 kcal ED plus regular diet for 6‐8 weeks. Primary endpoint was percentage (%) BWL (body weight loss; body weight before surgery minus that at postoperative 1 year) by surgical type. Secondary endpoints included changes in nutrition‐related blood parameters.ResultsOf the patients in the original trial, 106 were eligible for efficacy analyses. %BWL at postoperative 1 year was significantly lower in the ED group than in the control group among patients who underwent total gastrectomy (TG) (n = 19 and n = 17, respectively; 9.66 ± 5.98% [95% confidence interval, CI: 6.77‐12.54] vs 15.11 ± 6.78% [95% CI: 11.63‐18.60], P = .015), but not in patients who underwent distal gastrectomy (n = 38 and n = 32, respectively; 5.81 ± 7.91% [95% CI: 3.21‐8.41] vs 5.96 ± 6.20% [95% CI: 3.72‐8.19], P = .933). In multivariate analysis, ED was the only factor affecting %BWL at postoperative 1 year among patients who underwent TG.ConclusionsDaily nutritional intervention (300 kcal/day ED) for 6‐8 weeks reduced %BWL not only at postoperative 6‐8 weeks but also at 1 year in patients who underwent TG.
Expression and purification of soluble and functional fusion protein DAB389IL‐2 into the E. coli strain Rosetta‐gami (DE3)

Published: October 2019

AbstractDAB389IL‐2 (Denileukin diftitox) is considered an immunotoxin, and it is the first immunotoxin approved by Food and Drug Administration. It is used for the treatment of a cutaneous form of T‐cell lymphoma. This fusion protein has two disulfide bonds in its structure that play an essential role in toxicity and functionality of the immunotoxin. Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain BL21 (DE3) is not capable of making disulfide bonds in its reductive cytoplasm, but the E. coli strain Rosetta‐gami (DE3) is a proper strain for the correct expression of the protein due to mutations in glutaredoxin reductase and thioredoxin reductase. In this study, a pET21a vector with the His6‐tag fused at the N‐terminus of DAB389IL‐2 was used to express the soluble immunotoxin in E. coli Rosetta‐gami (DE3). After the purification of the soluble protein by two‐step column chromatographies, the structure of DAB389IL‐2 was analyzed using the Native‐PAGE and circular dichroism methods. In the following, the nuclease activity of soluble DAB389IL‐2 and its cytotoxicity activity were determined. It is concluded that the soluble recombinant protein expressed in the E. coli Rosetta‐gami (DE3) has an intact structure and also functional; hence, this form of immunotoxin could be competitive with its commercial counterparts.
A novel variant in LPL gene is associated with familial combined hyperlipidemia

Published: October 2019

AbstractFamilial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL) is a common genetic disorder characterized by increased fasted serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B‐100. Molecular genetic techniques such as next generation sequencing have been very successful methods for rare variants finding with a moderate‐to large effect. In this study, we characterized a large pedigree from MASHAD study in northeast Iran with coinheritance of FCHL and early‐onset coronary heart disease. In this family, we used whole‐exome sequencing and Sanger sequencing to determine the disease‐associated gene. We identified a novel variant in the LPL gene, leading to a substitution of an asparagine for aspartic acid at position 151. The D151N substitution cosegregated with these characters in all affected family members in the pedigree but it was absent in all unaffected members in this family. We speculated that the mutation D151N in LPL gene might be associated with FCHL and early‐onset coronary heart disease in this family. However, the substantial mechanism requires further investigation.
