La folie des grandeurs. L’écrivain et la chose littéraire dans les essais de Richard Millet
Authors: Lapointe Martine-Emmanuelle 
Published: June 2019

Dans la série d’essais et d’entretiens qu’il publie entre 2005 et 2008, Richard Millet fait état de l’appauvrissement de la littérature contemporaine sur le mode de la complainte et de la déploration. Au fil des textes parus en marge de son œuvre romanesque, l’auteur se présente comme le dernier d’une grande lignée, héritier d’une tradition moribonde à laquelle nul ne semble plus vouloir s’attacher. L’analyse de la figure de l’écrivain « déprogrammé », indifférent aux diktats et aux discours sociaux de son époque, permet de mettre au jour les paradoxes de l’argumentation de l’auteur. Refusant haut et fort de jouer le jeu de la politique, Millet se retrouve néanmoins dans l’arène, écartelé entre l’idéalisme du « dernier écrivain » et l’hyperréalisme du pamphlétaire.AbstractIn his essays and interviews published between 2005 and 2008, Richard Millet puts forward the impoverishment of contemporary literature by lamenting and deploring. On the margins of his novels, the author uses his writings to introduce himself as the last one of a great line, heir of a dying tradition no one really wants to belong to any more. The analysis of the « deprogrammed » writer’s figure, indifferent to the diktats and social discourses of his time, will bring to light the paradoxes of the author’s argumentation. By refusing categorically to play the political game, Millet nonetheless finds himself inside the arena, torn between the idealism of « the last writer » and the hyper-realism of the lampoonist.
Qui est inclus dans le « nous » du discours portant sur la francophonie?
Authors: St-Pierre Joannie 
Published: June 2019

Qui est inclus dans le « nous » du discours portant sur la francophonie? Étude des relations de pouvoir dans le contenu latent des manuels scolaires d’études sociales à l’intention des élèves de l’élémentaire.
Les manuels scolaires sont des artéfacts culturels illustrant des valeurs, des idéologies et des croyances : les choix, les terminologies, les mises en évidence ou les omissions contribuent à inclure ou à exclure certaines visions du monde . Puisque le message que transmet le langage utilisé dans le matériel scolaire a sur les représentations qu’ont les élèves de la citoyenneté, une analyse critique du discours a été faite afin d’approfondir le contenu latent des neuf fascicules à l’intention des élèves de cinquième année et de sixième année fréquentant des écoles élémentaires de langue française de l’Ontario. Les données ont été analysées en fonction des quatre perspectives suivantes : la structure et les caractéristiques des fascicules, la construction des personnages, les omissions ainsi que le pouvoir et les intérêts manifestés. La présente recherche révèle la présence de relations de pouvoir au sein du contenu latent de l’échantillon et remet en question la façon dont sont représentés les groupes ethniques dans le discours scolaire portant sur la francophonie. Depuis le 31 août 2015, puisqu’aucun manuel n’est recommandé en Ontario pour couvrir cette matière et ces niveaux scolaires, les suggestions qui découleront de cette étude devraient affiner l’évaluation des éventuelles publications afin que les représentations de la francophonie et des groupes ethniques au sein du matériel scolaire soient plus représentatives des faits réels passés et de la situation actuelle qu’ils ne le sont présentement.
Rethinking the VOC: Two Cheers for Progress
Authors: Gommans Jos 
Published: June 2019

This article is part of the forum 'Rethinking the VOC: Between Archival Management and Research Practice'. In this essay, Jos Gommans provides a short survey of some recent developments in the historiography of the voc. He argues that Asian historians in particular have used the voc archive to acquire new insights into the regional histories of Asia. This progress needs to be consolidated by combining the further exploration of the voc-archive with the in-depth study of the Asian cultures that the voc encountered. Combining archival study and cultural empathy will also shed new light on the historical process of identity formation of both Asians and Dutch. In dit essay geeft Jos Gommans een kort overzicht van enkele recente ontwikkelingen in de geschiedschrijving van de voc. Hij betoogt dat vooral Aziatische historici het voc-archief hebben gebruikt om nieuwe inzichten te verwerven in de Aziatische regionale geschiedenis. Deze vooruitgang moet worden bestendigd door de verdere exploratie van het voc-archief te combineren met een diepgaande studie van de Aziatische culturen waar de voc mee van doen had. Een dergelijke combinatie van archiefstudie en culturele empathie zal ook meer licht werpen op het historische proces van identiteitsvorming van zowel Aziaten alsook Nederlanders.

Inequality Assessment of Hospital Resources Distribution in West Azarbaijan Province Using Economic Indicators, Before-After Health System Reform plan
Authors: Golparipour Soraya , Nabilou Bahram , Yusefzadeh Hasan 
Published: June 2019

Background: Equity in access to health care services is one of the main goals of health systems, so that inequality in the geographical distribution of health resources will make it difficult for individuals to access the health care facilities. This study aimed to determine the distribution status of hospital resources and inequality coefficient in the West Azarbaijan province before and after implementation of the health system reform plan.
Methods: This cross-sectional and descriptive-analytic study aimed to investigate inequality in the distribution of health resources in cities of West Azarbaijan province before and after health system reform plan using concentration ratio and Hall Tiedman indices. The required data for estimating these indices were the number of specialist physicians and hospital beds, which were extracted from the data base of treatment deputy in Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Data analysis was conducted by Excel software.
Results: The results indicated a high spatial concentration in distribution of the health resources in the province, so that fixed beds and specialist physicians were more concentrated in the capital city of province; Urmia. Moreover, inequality in distribution of the resources in cities of the province was highly related to population. Comparisons of the results before and after the health system reform plan showed that the distribution of fixed beds and specialist physicians had decreasing and increasing trends, respectively.
Conclusion: The results showed that inequality in distribution of the hospital beds was intensified after implementation of the health reform plan. Furthermore, distribution of specialist physicians after the reform plan, despite its improvement, was not according to the population distribution. Therefore, inappropriate distribution of the above-mentioned resources should be readjusted by adopting redistributive policies.

Apt applications to boost old face-to-face teaching were examined, which are SMS, Facebook and Google Spreadsheets. A research was used to actual analyze the influence on their interests. It took place over a period of 14 weeks, and the sample consisted of 42 students in Information Technology for Social Network class. Three groups were involved, control (only supported by Google Spreadsheets), the first group (supported by Google Spreadsheets and SMS), and the second group (supported by Google Spreadsheets and Facebook). The effect of the applications, the results of subjective (attention, relevance, confidence, satisfaction and social ability) and objective assessment (engagement and academic performance) were compared among the three groups, and by using Google Spreadsheets with SMS, and with Facebook were effective in improving their motivation. Notable difference in overall was, students preferred Google spreadsheets with SMS, where it enhanced their motivation when merge into learning.
KAJI BANDING KUALITAS REPAIR WELDING DENGAN METODE OXY-ACITELYN, TIG DAN MIG PADA CAST WHEEL ALUMINIUM
Authors: Harjanto Budi 
Published: June 2019

<p>Penelitian yang telah dilakukan adalah reparasi <em>cast wheel</em> (velg) aluminium yang telah mengalami kerusakan (retak) dengan metode pengelasan. Pengalasan yang akan diteliti meliputi 3 metode yaitu: las Oksi-Asitelin, las TIG (<em>Tungsten Inert Gas</em>) dan MIG <em>(Metal Inert Gas)</em>. Pengelasan pada velg berbahan Aluminium memungkinkan digunakan untuk memperbaiki kerusakan sejauh kekuatan sambungan las tersebut mendekati kekuatan dari velg utuh. Sebelum percobaan pengelasan Oksi-Asitelin, TIG dan MIG dilakukan, maka dilakukan dahulu beberapa pengujian untuk mengetahui data awal. Pengujian bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi material asli <em>(base material)</em>. Dari pengujian awal diperoleh bahwa material asli adalah Al-7,3%Si yang memiliki kekerasan sebesar 57,63 HBN dan memiliki kekuatan impak sebesar 0,108 Joule/mm<sup>2. </sup>Data yang diperoleh pada pengujian tersebut merupakan data acuan untuk menjadi pembanding hasil percobaan dengan pengelasan Oksi-Asitelin, TIG dan MIG. Hasil uji kekerasan masing masing proses pengelasan pada daerah perbatasan antara logam induk dan logam lasan serta pada logam lasan, untuk pengelasan Oksi-Asitelin sebesar 38,69 BHN dan 54,80 BHN, untuk pengelasan TIG sebesar 30,47 BHN dan 45,15 BHN, sedangkan untuk pengelasan MIG sebesar 36,16 BHN dan 44,18 BHN. Hasil uji impak untuk masing-masing proses pengelasan, untuk pengelasan Oksi-Asitelin sebesar 0,085 Joule/mm<sup>2</sup>, untuk pengelasan TIG sebesar 0,096 Joule/mm<sup>2</sup> dan untuk pengelasan MIG sebesar 0,102 Joule/mm<sup>2</sup>. Dari hasi pengujian kekerasan dan impak dapat diketahui bahwa nilai kekerasan dan kekuatan impak hasil lasan masih lebih kecil dibandingkan dengn kekerasan dan kekuatan impak logam induk. Hal ini berarti bahwa hasil pengelasan belum layak digunakan, karena nilai kekerasan dari hasil pengelasan belum mendekati nilai kekerasan logam induk.</p>

Published: June 2019

Abstract
PURPOSE: To assess the visual and refractive outcomes of an implantable collamer lens with a central hole (ICL V4c) for residual refractive error correction after corneal refractive surgery in individuals with myopia.
DESIGN: Prospective, nonrandomized observational case series (self-controlled).

METHODS: We investigated 16 eyes of eight consecutive patients with myopia undergoing ICL V4c implantation after corneal refractive surgery. The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were examined before surgery and 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. We quantitatively assessed the postoperative values of the modulation transfer function (MTF) cutoff frequency, Strehl ratio, objective scattering index (OSI), and OQAS values (OVs) by using an Optical Quality Analysis System.
RESULTS: At 6 months after surgery, the mean uncorrected logMAR VA was 0.06 ± 0.10, and the values had improved in 100% of the eyes. The mean MTF cutoff frequency, Strehl ratio, OSI, OV 100%, OV 20%, and OV 9%, were 31.29 ± 4.32 cycles/degree (c/d), 0.18 ± 0.04, 1.469 ± 0.47, 0.97 ± 0.26, 0.75 ± 0.29, and 0.51 ± 0.23 at 6 months after ICL V4c implantation, respectively.
CONCLUSION: ICL V4c implantation was safe and effective for the correction of residual refractive error after corneal refractive surgeries, and it had excellent optical performance.

Abstract
Background

Although previous studies have explored the relationship between blood pressure (BP) component and stroke, it remains uncertain which BP component is best marker to identify stroke, especially in rural China. Furthermore, the role of metabolic factors in this association has not been reported. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficiency of BP components as markers for identifying stroke in Chinese rural adults. Simultaneously, we quantified how much of the effects of BP on stroke were mediated through metabolic factors.

Methods

Of 38880 eligible individuals aged 18 to 79 were derived from the Henan Rural Cohort study. The relationships between BP components and stroke were explored by restricted cubic splines and logistic regression models. Receiver-operating characteristic curve was conducted to evaluate the identifying performance of BP components. Mediation analysis by bootstrap was used to explore the contribution of metabolic factors to BP - related stroke.

Results

In the fully models, the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) of systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) in the highest quartile with the risk of stroke were 1.81 (1.56-2.10), 1.72 (1.51-1.97), 1.55 (1.32-1.81) and 1.80 (1.57-2.06), respectively. The non-linear association tests demonstrated that the dose-response relationships were linear between SBP, DBP, PP and MAP with stroke (all p for non-linear > 0.05). In addition, PP had the largest area under curve value (0.655) for stroke in the crude model. However, MAP and SBP had the largest area under curve value (both 0.753) for identifying stroke after adjusting for potential confounders. We further reported that 3.51%–7.22% proportion explained risk of stroke was mediated through metabolic factors.

Conclusions

SBP and MAP might be better markers for identifying stroke than other BP components. In addition, BP -related stroke was mediated by some degree of metabolic factors.
BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF GLOBAL SICKLE CELL DISEASE RESEARCH FROM 1997 – 2017
Authors: Okoroiwu Henshaw , López-Muñoz Francisco , Povedano-Montero F. Javier 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by single point mutation in the β-globin chain of the hemoglobin. It has been recognized by World Health Organization as a public health priority since 2006.
Methods: Scopus database was used in this study with the search descriptors: “sickle cell” and “sickle cell disease”. We applied common bibliometric indicators to evaluate the trend in scientific literature in sickle cell disease research.
Results: We retrieved a total of 19,921 scientific literatures in the repertoire from 1997 to 2017. Price law was fulfilled in the trend of production of scientific literature in SCD as the growth of scientific literature was more exponential (r = 0.959) than linear (r = 0.9449). We observed a duplication time of 4.55 years. The Bradford core was made up of 69 journals with Blood at the top, publishing the most number of articles. The most productive institutions were mostly United States agencies and hospitals. United States was the most productive country. National Institute of Health was the most productive institution and also had the highest number of citation. Vichinsky E was the most productive author while the most cited article was published by Circulation.
Conclusion: The growth of scientific literature in SCD was found to be high. However, the exponential growth trend shows a “yet-to-be-explored” area of research. This study will be useful for physicians, researchers, research funders, policy cum decision makers.

Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of cognitive and physical loads on dynamic and static balance of older adults under single, dual and multi-task conditions.
Methods: The effects of single versus combined (dual-task and multi-task) cognitive (to speak out the name of the weekdays in a reverse order) and physical (with three levels including handling weights of 1kg, 2kg and 3kg in each hand) loads on dynamic and static balance of 42 older adults (21 males and 21 females), aged ≥ 60 years were studied. Dynamic and static balance measures were evaluated using the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and stabilometer (sway index) tests, respectively.
Results: The TUG speed of female participants was generally slower than that of male participants. Cognitive task influenced the participants’ dynamic balance during the dual-task conditions, while the static balance was not affected in this phase. The dynamic and static balance measures were more influenced when performing the multi-tasks than when doing the dual-tasks. The effects of various levels of physical demand on the dynamic balance varied greatly under dual- and multi-task conditions.
Conclusions: The findings add to the understanding of the factors influencing the elderly balance and control under cognitive and physical functioning.
A cocktail of antibodies to multiple tumor-specific neoantigens increases binding and inhibits tumor growth
Authors: Shukla Girja S. , Sun Yu-Jing , Pero Stephanie C. , Krag David N. 
Published: June 2019

Abstract
Background: Antibodies that target a single tumor antigen fail to cure stage IV cancer patients due to tumor heterogeneity resulting in variable expression of antigen. Tumor cells with insufficient binding of antibody will not undergo antibody induced cytotoxicity. We describe targeting multiple tumor-specific antigens that resulted in homogeneous dense binding to mouse melanoma cells and significant tumor growth inhibition.
Methods: Surface-related tumor-specific mutations on B16-F10 cells were identified. Peptides containing the single amino acid mutation were synthesized for 9 different neoantigens. Rabbits were vaccinated with each of these peptides and high affinity polyclonal antibodies to each peptide were obtained. The 9 antibodies were combined as a cocktail and mice with implanted B16-F10 cells were treated with and without PD1 inhibitor.
Results: Even a single dose of the antibody cocktail inhibited tumor growth and prolonged survival. PD1 inhibitor alone had little effect on tumor growth. The antibody cocktail plus PD1 inhibition increased tumor response and 4 doses of the cocktail completely prevented tumor growth in 50% of the mice. Complete responses were durable. The complete responders were highly resistant to tumor re-challenge at 6 months. No adverse events were identified in the antibody treated mice.
Conclusions: Multiple tumor-specific cell surface-related neoantigens were abundant in B16-F10 cells. Antibodies to 9 of these neoantigens had variable binding but when combined had dense homogeneous binding. Even one dose of this cocktail of 9 antibodies improved survival and when multiple does were combined with PD1 inhibition 50% of the mice were rendered permanently tumor free.
