Reflexiones en torno a la concepción humanista y antropológica de la cultura
Authors: Busquet Durán Jordi 
Published: February 2018

El objeto de este artículo es clarificar el concepto de cultura, cuyo uso generalizado ha supuesto cierta banalización del mismo. Se expone de manera clara y rigurosa las dos principales concepciones de la cultura: la humanista y la antropológica. Al mismo tiempo se profundiza en la idea de cultura como estilo de vida, noción que tiene un indudable interés en el campo de la publicidad.
Le débordement du travail sur le temps personnel des cadres français
Authors: Genin Émilie 
Published: February 2018

Cet article présente un portrait du phénomène de débordement du travail sur le temps personnel (c’est-à-dire le travail exécuté en dehors des lieux et des horaires de travail habituels) à partir d’une enquête quantitative menée par un syndicat français auprès de plus de mille cadres (des gestionnaires et des professionnels au sens nord-américain). Les données permettent de cerner l’étendue du phénomène, ainsi que certains de ses déterminants. Notre modèle de recherche repose sur les trois hypothèses suivantes :
Les résultats indiquent que plus de la moitié des participants travaillent à la maison quelques heures par semaines alors que plus du tiers le font de façon régulière. Contrairement à nos hypothèses, l’âge est positivement associé au débordement du travail alors que le sexe ne l’est pas. Des analyses de régression indiquent aussi que la charge de travail, les déplacements professionnels fréquents, ainsi que la multiplication des technologies de l’information et de la communication tendent à augmenter la fréquence du débordement du travail sur le temps personnel. Ces résultats illustrent les recompositions des temps de travail associés aux modèles de productions postfordistes qui induisent, notamment, une plus grande porosité entre les temps personnels et professionnels.
Advancing global monitoring of ship borne invasive species through streamlined metabarcoding.
Authors: Czechowski Paul , Grey-Avis Erin , Lodge David M 
Published: February 2018

The unintentional transport of invasive species through the global shipping network causes substantial losses to social and economic welfare. Addressing this global challenge requires identification of potentially harmful species, and confirmation of their movement along highly frequented shipping routes.
As we have previously shown, properly calibrated network models are able to describe passive movement of invasive species around the world. These models can be substantially improved when suitable in-situ biological data is becoming available, now possible by sequencing of environmental DNA (eDNA) from port waters.
Here we report a simple and scalable approach to generate metabarcoding data of 18S ribosomal and other eDNA collected in four major US ports. Between Long Beach, Houston, Miami, Baltimore and a multitude of Chinese ports, ships travel both frequently or infrequently while linking to different ecosystems of East Asia.
By controlling for ecoregions and ship traffic, we will shortly be able to estimate ship-borne invasive species spread between the two largest global economies, USA and China. With further port DNA sampling and network model refinements, we will also soon be able to provide global assessments of ship-borne invasive species spread to inform management and policy decision makers.

AbstractIn this study, polyethylene terephthalate‐based waste drinking bottles have been used to develop colorful nanofibers via electrospinning. The recycled polyethylene terephthalate (r‐PET) nanofibers were characterized through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infra red spectroscopy (FTIR), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), and X‐ray photo electron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques and were explored for advanced colorful applications. To prepare colorful r‐PET nanofibers, two different disperse dyes, C.I Disperse Blue 56 (DB‐56) and C.I Disperse Red 167:1 (DR 167:1), were used by dope dyeing technique. The dope dyeing of r‐PET nanofibers was optimized by determining the effects of different polymer concentrations (9%–15%) and dye concentrations (1%–7%). The proposed r‐PET nanofibers offer many advantages such as good color fastness, good mechanical strength, save processing energy, and time compared to other conventional nanofibers.
Estimating impacts of the nuclear family and heritability of nutritional outcomes in a boat‐dwelling community
Authors: Starkweather Kathrine E. , Keith Monica H. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractObjectivesGeneral health status is reflected in measures of height, weight, and BMI. Assessing sources of variation in these outcomes reveals population‐specific variables of importance to health and nutrition. We characterize the impacts of socioeconomic variables related to the nuclear family on health outcomes of boat‐dwelling Shodagor children, mothers, and fathers, and to estimate the proportion of variation in height, weight, and BMI influenced by both genetic variation and nongenetic variation among household environments.MethodsBayesian linear mixed models (LMMs) estimate heritability and household‐effect variance components among the Shodagor. These models also assess the influences of specific socioeconomic predictor variables on different types of individuals within the household (children, mothers, and fathers).ResultsOverall, models explain 61.7% of variation in height, 59.4% in weight, and 65.8% in BMI for this sample of Shodagor. Mother's decision‐making and household income have expected, positive associations with children's weight and BMI. Number of children has an unexpected positive relationship to children's height and a negative relationship to father's BMI. Genetic variation explains less than 26% of phenotypic variation for each of these traits on average.ConclusionsOur results show that resource flows and distributions within Shodagor households account for a significant amount of variance in nutritional outcomes. Problems commonly associated with increasing market integration may lead to negative outcomes for children, while mother's autonomy may lead to positive outcomes. Our models also indicate that environmental factors account for more variation in these outcomes than expected, relative to genetics, and we discuss the implications.
Fabrication of Ionic‐Liquid‐Embedded ZnO Nanoparticles: Application of a Synergistic Catalytic Effect to Thiol‐Induced 2‐Pyridone Synthesis
Authors: Mondal Priya , Bhaumik Asim , Chatterjee Sauvik , Mukhopadhyay Chhanda 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThis is the first report of thiol‐induced, recyclable ZnO–[2COOHMIM]+Br−‐catalysed (2COOHMIM=1‐(2‐carboxyethyl)‐3‐methylimidazolium), water‐mediated 2‐pyridone synthesis by two new straightforward strategies with 37 examples. This catalytic system was prepared using environmentally friendly, recyclable acidic‐ionic‐liquid‐coated ZnO nanoparticles (NPs). The changes in size and morphology upon capping the ZnO NPs were effectively tuned by neutral and acidic ionic liquids, which acted as structure‐directing mediators. ZnO has a high affinity for carboxyl functionalities, and accordingly, a 3D network was formed in which the carboxyl group acted as a linker. The catalysts generated by the capping of ZnO NPs with ionic liquids were characterised by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, powder X‐ray diffraction, and FTIR spectroscopy. This combined catalytic system, containing both acidic and basic environments, exhibited properties of both a quasi‐heterogeneous catalyst and a phase‐transfer catalyst in aqueous medium. Here, a synergistic catalytic effect between ZnO NPs and acidic ionic liquids is utilised effectively. The recyclability of this catalytic system up to a fifth cycle was demonstrated by FTIR spectroscopy.

Published: February 2018

ABSTRACTThe immobilization of photocatalysts on several kinds of substrates has been widely studied over the past few years, focusing mainly on improving its industrial application. In this work, novel hybrid films were prepared, employing TiO2 P25, commercial ZnO or BiOI, synthetized through hydrothermal method and immobilized on poly(vinylidene fluoride) by the non‐solvent‐induced phase inversion technique. Subsequently, the prepared composites were evaluated by photodegradation of methylene blue (MB) under ultraviolet or visible light. The samples were also characterized by scanning electron microscope, thermo‐gravimetric analysis, attenuated total reflection–Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffractometer analysis to improve comprehension of the composites' photocatalytic behavior. The degradation reaction of the contaminants exhibited pseudo‐first order kinetics in all samples, and achieved better performance when compared to simple photolysis. The recyclability of the hybrid films was also evaluated and proved that polymeric matrix is a promising material for the preparation of composites for photocatalysis applications. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Recent Advances on Non‐precious Metal Porous Carbon‐based Electrocatalysts for Oxygen Reduction Reaction
Authors: Liu Dongdong , Tao Li , Yan Dafeng , Zou Yuqin , Wang Shuangyin 
Published: February 2018

AbstractOxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial process for several significant energy conversion and storage devices, such as metal‐air batteries and fuel cells. However, the sluggish kinetics caused by huge activation energy barriers limit the performance. Platinum (Pt) and Pt‐based catalysts are still the most efficient catalysts for ORR. Unfortunately, the scarcity, high cost, poor stability, crossover effect and CO poisoning of Pt and Pt‐based materials restrict their further development. Carbon‐based nanomaterials, especially the non‐precious metal porous carbon‐based materials (NPC) have been considered as the most promising replacement for Pt and attract the extensive attention of scientists since its high specific surface area and easy regulation can significantly increase the active sites and mass transfer of electrocatalyst. On the other way, the NPC can also be the support of the single metal atoms which can act as the highly efficient ORR electrocatalysts. This review focuses on the recent progress on the applications of NPC at ORR electrocatalyst field.

Published: February 2018

AbstractMetal oxides have great potential for developing high‐performance supercapacitors due to their high specific capacitances. However, achieving high energy densities while maintaining good rate capability and long cycle life has proved to be challenging. We propose herein a strategy for constructing all‐metal‐oxide asymmetric supercapacitors (ASCs), in which both the cathode and anode are based on metal oxides, and demonstrate their outstanding electrochemical performance. We anchored SnO2 nanoparticles on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) through Sn−O−C bonds (as the cathode of ACSs), and employed low‐crystalline RGO/MoO3 nanosheets as the anode, based on the large work function difference between SnO2 and MoO3. The resulting ASC can operate stably at 1.8 V in neutral aqueous electrolyte and deliver an energy density of up to 33 W h kg−1, which remains at 13.8 W h kg−1 even at 37.5 kW kg−1. Moreover, the ASC exhibits a good cycling stability of 92.5 % capacitance retention after 20 000 cycles.

Published: February 2018

BackgroundPembrolizumab was recently approved as a first line agent for metastatic NSCLC in patients with high programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) expression.ObjectivesSince a significant portion of lung cancer is diagnosed by endobronchial ultrasound‐guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS TBNA); there is a need for PD‐L1 testing in these specimens. However, to date few studies have evaluated performance of cytology specimens from EBUS TBNA for PD‐L1 analysis.MethodsPatients who had a diagnosis of NSCLC and in whom ancillary testing, i.e., next generation sequencing (NGS), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and PD‐L1 expression was requested between January and May 2017 were reviewed.ResultsFifty of the 112 patients reviewed had the diagnosis of NSCLC for which ancillary testing was requested. Twelve patients (24%) had squamous cell carcinoma, twenty‐seven had adenocarcinoma (54%), five had NSCLC favor adenocarcinoma (10%), two had NSCLC favor squamous cell cancer (4%), and four had NSCLC not otherwise specified (NOS) (8%). Size of the lymph nodes or lesion sampled ranged from 10 to 50 mm. Four (8%) patients had insufficient number of tumor cells in the cell block for any of the ancillary molecular testing. Forty‐one (82%) patients had an adequate sample for all three ancillary tests. Satisfactory results for PD‐L1 expression for all cases was 86% with 14 (32%) patients having levels of PD‐L1 expression >50%.ConclusionEBUS TBNA is effective and has a high proportion of satisfactory results for testing PD‐L1 expression on tumor cells in addition to NGS and ALK FISH.

Published: February 2018

BackgroundInspissated cyst fluid may be identified on pancreatic cyst aspiration cytology. We report on the cytomorphologic characteristics of inspissated cyst fluid on EUS‐FNA of pancreatic cysts and correlate this finding with histopathology or multimodal (cytology, cyst fluid analysis, molecular pathology, imaging) classification of cyst type.MethodsThe department archives were searched for pancreatic cyst fine‐needle aspiration biopsies that contained dessicated, crystalline or inspissated material on cytologic preparations.ResultsTwenty‐eight cases of pancreatic cysts containing inspissated material were identified. The cytomorphology of the inspissated material ranged from fibrillary fan‐like structure (54%), ball‐like structures (57%), and granular material (43%). When present, the fibrillary inspissated material was associated with neoplastic mucinous cysts in 11/15 (73%) cases, but was also seen in 2 pseudocysts, 1 serous cystadenoma, and 1 cyst of uncertain type (suggestive of mucinous cyst on EUS). The presence of fibrillary inspissated cyst material on cytology had a positive predictive value of 79% and a specificity of 63% for a neoplastic mucinous cyst.ConclusionAlthough not highly specific, the presence of inspissated cyst fluid with fibrillary architecture should be recognized by cytopathologists and interpreted as at least “atypical” given the potential association with neoplastic mucinous cysts of the pancreas.
A quantitative analysis on the effects of critical factors limiting the effectiveness of species conservation in future time
Authors: Alagador Diogo , Cerdeira Jorge Orestes 
Published: February 2018

AbstractThe effectiveness of conservation plans depends on environmental, ecological, and socioeconomic factors. Global change makes conservation decisions even more challenging. Among others, the components of most concern in modern‐day conservation assessments are as follows: the magnitude of climate and land‐use changes; species dispersal abilities; competition with harmful socioeconomic activities for land use; the number of threatened species to consider; and, relatedly, the available budget to act. Here, we provide a unified framework that quantifies the relative effects of those factors on conservation. We conducted an area‐scheduling work plan in order to identify sets of areas along time in which the persistence expectancies of species are optimized. The approach was illustrated using data of potential distribution of ten nonvolant mammal species in Iberia Peninsula from current time up to 2080. Analyses were conducted considering possible setups among the factors that are likely to critically impact conservation success: three climate/land‐use scenarios; four species’ dispersal kernel curves; six land‐use layer types; and two planning designs, in which assessments were made independently for each species, or joining all species in a single plan. We identified areas for an array of investments levels capable to circumvent the spatial conflicts with socioeconomic activities. The effect of each factor on the estimated species persistence scores was assessed using linear mixed models. Our results evidence that conservation success is highly reliant on the resources available to abate land‐use conflicts. Nonetheless, under the same investment levels, planning design and climate change were the factors that most shaped species persistence scores. The persistence of five species was especially affected by the sole effect of planning design and consequently, larger conservation investments may retard climatic debts. For three species, the negative effects of a changing climate and of multiple‐species planning designs added up, making these species especially at risk. Integrated assessments of the factors most likely to limit species persistence are pivotal to achieve effectiveness.

Published: February 2018

AbstractIssue addressedWhole‐of‐setting initiatives have been recommended as an equitable approach to health promotion. However, there has been little analysis of differences in uptake of such approaches according to indicators of socioeconomic position. In Victoria, Australia, the Achievement Program is a state government health promotion initiative that uses a whole‐of‐setting approach in early childhood services, schools and workplaces. We conducted an exploratory comparison of uptake of and progression through the programme by schools and early childhood services in one local area, according to area‐level socioeconomic position.MethodsApproximately 3 years after programme initiation, we linked data on the progress of 89 early childhood services and 67 primary schools to an area‐level index of relative socioeconomic disadvantage. We compared uptake of and progression through the programme by setting (service or school) and quartiles of socioeconomic position.ResultsAbout 89% of early childhood services and 70% of primary schools had registered for the programme, with 18% and 15%, respectively, attaining the goal of completing the final stage. A greater proportion of settings in areas in the most disadvantaged quartile had registered for the programme and completed the final stage of the programme, compared with settings in areas in the least disadvantaged quartile. However, variation by socioeconomic position was not linear across quartiles.ConclusionThe Achievement Program did not appear to be inequitable in its uptake. Research into uptake in other local areas and outcomes achieved would be beneficial.So what?This demonstrates that whole‐of‐setting approaches can potentially be an equity‐enhancing approach to health promotion.

Published: February 2018

AbstractIssue addressedAffordability of a healthy diet is a determinant of nutritional intake and therefore health. This project aimed to measure the cost of healthy foods across a geographically defined region and examine factors related to changing food prices to assist in informing health promotion practice.MethodsThe cost of a healthy food basket was measured using the Victorian Healthy Food Basket tool, in all eligible stores, across five rural local government areas in Western Victoria, Australia in 2014, 2015 and 2016. One‐way analysis of variance was used to investigate differences in healthy food basket cost across years. Multivariable linear regression models were constructed to adjust for baseline (2014) cost to determine factors associated with cost.ResultsData were collected from 45 stores in 2014 and 2015 and 48 stores in 2016. The average cost of the healthy food basket was $459 in 2014, $437 in 2015 and $443 in 2016. The cost of the healthy food basket was the highest in stores >15 km from the major regional centre and in areas with only one supermarket (non‐cluster) (P < 0.05). All food groups except fruit and vegetables decreased in price between 2014 and 2016.ConclusionThis project highlights distance from regional centres and competition as possible factors that influence the cost of healthy food.So what?This is valuable insight for health promoters in designing both local level interventions aimed at improving access to healthy food and influencing regional food systems.

ObjectivesTo explore the intra‐ and inter‐rater agreement of superior vena cava (SVC) flow and right ventricular (RV) outflow in healthy and unwell late preterm neonates (33–37 weeks' gestational age), term neonates (≥37 weeks' gestational age), and neonates receiving total‐body cooling.MethodsThe intra‐ and inter‐rater agreement (n = 25 and 41 neonates, respectively) rates for SVC flow and RV outflow were determined by echocardiography in healthy and unwell late preterm and term neonates with the use of Bland‐Altman plots, the repeatability coefficient, the repeatability index, and intraclass correlation coefficients.ResultsThe intra‐rater repeatability index values were 41% for SVC flow and 31% for RV outflow, with intraclass correlation coefficients indicating good agreement for both measures. The inter‐rater repeatability index values for SVC flow and RV outflow were 63% and 51%, respectively, with intraclass correlation coefficients indicating moderate agreement for both measures.ConclusionsIf SVC flow or RV outflow is used in the hemodynamic treatment of neonates, sequential measurements should ideally be performed by the same clinician to reduce potential variability.
