Théâtre médiéval, théâtre provincial ?
Authors: Bordier Jean-Pierre 
Published: May 2019

Le théâtre français du Moyen Âge peut être qualifié de provincial, car il s’enracine dans des communautés locales, religieuses, professionnelles ou civiques. Cependant, il ne laisse que peu de place au particularisme local, car les mêmes formes et les mêmes thèmes se rencontrent dans toute l’Europe et les textes circulent d’une région à l’autre. Jusqu’au XVI e siècle, aucune ville, même Paris, aucune cour n’impose de norme esthétique ou thématique.
Les pièces tragi-comiques dans le théâtre provincial au début du XVII e siècle. Excentricités formelles d’un théâtre excentré ?
Authors: Déléris Alban 
Published: May 2019

La tragi-comédie au tournant du siècle est un genre encore en germe, dont les frontières avec les autres genres comme la tragédie et la pastorale restent fort poreuses. Par ailleurs, des pièces tragi-comiques sont publiées sur l’ensemble du territoire français, dans les différentes provinces du pays. L’excentricité formelle de la tragi-comédie, genre aux marges de la tragédie, est-elle ainsi spécifique au théâtre provincial, en opposition avec une tragi-comédie parisienne ?
La clef des chants. Les chansons de l’opéra-comique An Dovçz reuzidik à làouën
Authors: Boudillet Estelle , Calvez Ronan 
Published: May 2019

Ar Farvel göapaër nous est connu par un petit volume manuscrit, signé de la main de François Nicolas Pascal de Kerenveyer (Roscoff, 1729 – Beauvais, 1794). La pièce-maîtresse de cette œuvre multiforme est « An Dovçz reuzidik à làouën / L’Amant.e malheureu.x.se et joyeu.x.se », qui, placée à l’orée du recueil et occupant près des deux tiers de l’espace scriptural total, se démarque des autres pièces par son appartenance au genre moderne de l’opéra-comique. Points d’orgue du dialogue interculturel et intertextuel qui sous-tend l’ensemble de l’ouvrage, les chansons d’ An Dovçz nous offrent une clef privilégiée pour tenter de comprendre l’expérimentation littéraire et langagière conduite par Kerenveyer.
Montez sur la balance ! Vécu de l’abord du poids en consultation de médecine générale
Authors: Prod’homme Laurène , Riglet Clara , Godart Nathalie , Huas Caroline 
Published: May 2019

Contexte : Nombre de patients et de médecins généralistes montrent une réticence à parler du poids en consultation, alors que la pesée est un acte clinique routinier. Une étude a été réalisée afin d’explorer les modalités d’abord du poids en médecine générale et le vécu des patients adultes, quel que soit leur statut pondéral et leur motif de consultation. Méthode : Une méthode mixte a été utilisée reposant sur une observation directe des consultations (avec une grille d’observation) et des entretiens menés en parallèle à l’issue des consultations (avec un guide d’entretien) ; l’analyse descriptive des données d’observation et thématique a été réalisée en double aveugle des entretiens. Résultats : Au total, 187 consultations et 81 entretiens ont été réalisés. En consultation, le poids était majoritairement abordé par le médecin, selon trois approches : discussion seule, discussion et pesée, pesée seule. La demande de pesée était parfois ressentie comme trop directive, et donc mal vécue par les patients, tandis que la discussion provoquait une réflexion sur un possible changement de comportement. Lors des entretiens, la majorité des patients déclaraient avoir bien vécu la manière dont le poids était abordé, quel que soit ce dernier, grâce à la relation de confiance les liant à leur médecin ou au contexte de la consultation. Deux patientes l’avaient mal vécu, alors que leur indice de masse corporelle (IMC) était considéré comme normal. Le caractère intime de la perception du poids était souligné. Pour le patient, l’œil était invoqué comme l’outil de mesure du poids, dont le médecin pouvait percevoir les variations. Conclusion : La confrontation de ces résultats exploratoires a permis l’émergence d’hypothèses, et questionne le rôle de la balance en consultation.

AbstractA reliable and low‐cost solution‐processing procedure to synthesize a highly adhesive flexible metal antenna with low resistivity for radio‐frequency identification device (RFID) tags on paper substrates via inkjet printing combined with surface modification and electroless deposition (ELD) is demonstrated in this paper. Through the surface modification of colloidal solution of hydrolyzed stannous chloride and chitosan solution, the paper‐based substrate is able to reduce the penetration rate of ink and further increase the adsorption amount of silver ions, which could create a catalytic activating layer to catalyze the subsequent ELD of a conductive deposited metal antenna. The resulting metal antenna for RFID tags presents good adhesive strength and low resistivity of 2.58 × 10−8 Ω·m after 40 min of ELD, and maintains a reliable reading range of RFID tags even after over 1000 times of bending and mechanical stress. Consequently, the developed technology proposed allows for cheap, efficient, and massive production of metal antenna for paper‐based RFID tags with excellent mechanical and electrical properties. Furthermore, this process is especially advantageous for the fabrication of next‐generation flexible electronic devices based on paper substrates.

Published: May 2019

AbstractMultivalued logic (MVL) computing could provide bit density beyond that of Boolean logic. Unlike conventional transistors, heterojunction transistors (H‐TRs) exhibit negative transconductance (NTC) regions. Using the NTC characteristics of H‐TRs, ternary inverters have recently been demonstrated. However, they have shown incomplete inverter characteristics; the output voltage (VOUT) does not fully swing from VDD to GND. A new H‐TR device structure that consists of a dinaphtho[2,3‐b:2′,3′‐f]thieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (DNTT) layer stacked on a PTCDI‐C13 layer is presented. Due to the continuous DNTT layer from source to drain, the proposed device exhibits novel switching behavior: p‐type off/p‐type subthreshold region /NTC/ p‐type on. As a result, it has a very high on/off current ratio (≈105) and exhibits NTC behavior. It is also demonstrated that an array of 36 of these H‐TRs have 100% yield, a uniform on/off current ratio, and uniform NTC characteristics. Furthermore, the proposed ternary inverter exhibits full VDD‐to‐GND swing of VOUT with three distinct logic states. The proposed transistors and inverters exhibit hysteresis‐free operation due to the use of a hydrophobic gate dielectric and encapsulating layers. Based on this, the transient operation of a ternary inverter circuit is demonstrated for the first time.
AKT1, PRDM4, and BAX are the natural markers of psychological endurance threshold

Published: May 2019

AbstractIntroductionAbnormal behavior can cause harm or loss to oneself, the family, and society and may be related to psychological endurance levels. With early identification and early intervention, the occurrence of harm can be prevented and the loss can be reduced. Now there is no clear definition of psychological endurance levels and no accurate measurement tools yet.MethodsThis study first proposes the concept of psychological endurance threshold (PET) and defines that as: “the psychological state threshold of human objective physiological characteristics and outbreaks of abnormal behavior led by subjective cognitive level difference”. The study hypothesizes that human behavior is related to it, and constructs multiple measurement method tools to measure it.ResultsHere we show PET exists objectively and can be measured exactly by methods such as psychological endurance threshold measurement table, experience evaluation, dopamine level detection, and genetic testing. In particular, PET is determined by AKT1, PRDM4, and BAX which are the natural markers of PET.ConclusionsThe significance of this study is to discover people with abnormal expression of AKT1, PRDM4, and BAX who have lower PET and tend to commit abnormal behavior more easily. Understanding PET will enable people to make self‐adjustment or to intervene by professionals as soon as possible and in a timely manner in the face of various negative stimuli in work and life, especially for people with lower PET, people should intervene as early as possible to reduce the harm to the individual, family and society.

AbstractTransition metals with intrinsic electrocatalytic activity usually suffer from low anodic instability when used as electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). This work draws inspiration from stainless metals to synthesize highly anticorrosive amorphous Ni−P via electroless deposition. Holly leaves with three‐dimensional micro/nanoarchitecture were firstly calcined at 800 °C in nitrogen to obtain self‐supporting biocarbon as the substrate for eletroless deposition. After depositing Ni−P for 30 min, the as‐obtained Ni−P/carbonized leaf (Ni−P/CL) composite showed an excellent electrocatalytic performance for the OER. Benefiting from the high electronic conductivity and catalytic activity of Ni−P, and the efficient mass transport behavior in the three‐dimensional architecture, a low overpotential of 300 mV was required to reach a current density of 40 mA cm−2. The anticorrosive amorphous and P‐doping feature of Ni−P can prevent catalytic active species from leaching out; and to some extent, can protect the biocarbon substrate from corrosion during the OER process. The current retained 85.7 % of the initial value after performing at 1.6 V (vs. RHE) for 12 h.

Published: May 2019

AbstractMultinary nanocrystals (NCs) of I‐III‐VI‐based semiconductors with less toxicity have attracted much attention for the fabrication of efficient light‐energy conversion systems. Here we report unique photoelectrochemical properties of ZnTe−AgInTe2 solid solution (ZAITe) NCs with a controllable energy gap in near‐IR region. The photoelectrochemical behavior of ZAITe NCs immobilized on an ITO electrode with a thickness of less than one monoparticle layer, resembling a p‐type semiconductor photoresponse, was remarkably different from that of ZAITe NC multilayer films: The onset of a cathodic photocurrent was shifted more positively than that of the valence band maximum of ZAITe NCs and the photocurrent generation efficiency was significantly increased, when photons with energy higher than ca. 2.5 eV were irradiated. These phenomena can be explained well by the direct hot hole transfer from ZAITe NCs to the ITO electrode.

We conducted a comprehensive in vivo study evaluating the influence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on major cytochrome P450 (CYP450) activities. These activities were assessed in 38 T2D and 35 non‐T2D subjects after a single oral administration of a cocktail of probe drugs: 100 mg caffeine (CYP1A2), 100 mg bupropion (CYP2B6), 250 mg tolbutamide (CYP2C9), 20 mg omeprazole (CYP2C19), 30 mg dextromethorphan (CYP2D6), 2 mg midazolam (CYP3As), and 250 mg chlorzoxazone (alone; CYP2E1). Mean metabolic activity for CYP2C19, CYP2B6, and CYP3A was decreased in subjects with T2D by about 46%, 45%, and 38% (P < 0.01), respectively. CYP1A2 and CYP2C9 activities seemed slightly increased in subjects with diabetes, and no difference was observed for CYP2D6 or CYP2E1 activities. Several covariables, such as inflammatory markers (interleukin (IL)‐1ß, IL‐6, gamma interferon, and tumor necrosis factor alpha), genotypes, and diabetes‐related and demographic‐related factors were considered in our analyses. Our results indicate that low chronic inflammatory status associated with T2D modulates CYP450 activities in an isoform‐specific manner.
Late Quaternary paleo sea level geomorphological markers of opposite vertical movements at Salina volcanic island (Aeolian Arc)

Published: May 2019

AbstractRaised marine terraces and submerged insular shelves are used through an integrated approach as markers of relative sea level changes along the flanks of the Salina volcanic island (Aeolian Arc, southern Italy) for the purpose of evaluating its crustal vertical deformation pattern through time. Paleo sea level positions are estimated for the terrace inner margins exposed subaerially at different elevations and the erosive shelf edges recognized offshore at different depths. Compared with the eustatic sea levels at the main highstands (for the terraces) and lowstands (for the shelf edges) derived from the literature, these paleo sea level markers allowed us to reconstruct the interplay among different processes shaping the flanks of the island and, in particular, to quantify the pattern, magnitudes and rates of vertical movements affecting the different sectors of Salina since the time of their formation. A uniform uplift process at rates of 0.35 m ka−1 during the Last Interglacial is estimated for Salina (extended to most of the Aeolian Arc) as evidence of a regional (tectonic) vertical deformation affecting the sub‐volcanic basement in a subduction‐related geodynamic context. Before that, a dominant subsidence at rates of 0.39–0.56 m ka−1 is instead suggested for the time interval between 465 ka (MIS 12) and the onset of the Last Interglacial (MIS 5.5, 124 ka). By matching the insular shelf edges with the main lowstands of the sea level curve, a relative age attribution is provided for the (mostly) submerged volcanic centres on which the deepest (and oldest) insular shelves were carved, with insights on the chronological development of the older stages of Salina and the early emergence of the island. The shift from subsidence to uplift at the Last Interglacial suggests a major geodynamic change and variation of the stress regime acting on the Aeolian sub‐volcanic basement. © 2019 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

AbstractBackgroundBrassica plants contain a wide spectrum of bioactive components that are responsible for their health‐promoting potential such as vitamins, polyphenols and glucosinolates. This study attempted to relate the composition of bioactive phytochemicals and chosen biological activities (antioxidant, cytotoxic, anti‐genotoxic, and influence on enzymatic activities) for extracts from differently pigmented cabbage (white and red) and cauliflower (white and purple) varieties. The assumption was that tested varieties of the same plant would exhibit similar chemical composition differing mostly in anthocyanin content and that the latter will be reflected in biological activity.ResultsProfiles of antioxidants obtained using post‐column derivatization with ABTS radical confirmed, that the content and composition of anthocyanins is strongly correlated with the antioxidant capacity of tested plant extracts measured by spectrophotometric methods (ABTS, FC, DPPH, FRAP), and Cellular Antioxidant Activity (CAA) test. The results of determinations of other biological activities showed that opposite to purified bioactive phytochemicals, in the case of actual plant foods, there was no simple relationship between anthocyanin content and chemopreventive potential.ConclusionObtained results suggest that there must be some kind of interaction between different phytochemicals, which decides on the final health promoting activity of edible plants as suggested by for example the food synergy concept. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

Published: May 2019

Objectives/HypothesisTo examine the perspectives of current otolaryngology–head and neck surgery residents and faculty members on educational formats and approaches. To assess the effects of a novel integrative educational curriculum for residents by examining results from the otolaryngology training examination (OTE). We hypothesized that altering the current curriculum to accentuate resident participation would result in improved performance on the OTE.Study DesignProspective cohort study.MethodsWe conducted a study from June 2015 to July 2018. All faculty attendings and residents were asked to participate in the study and were included. A novel educational curriculum founded on the principles of experiential learning and utilizing the PulseQD app to facilitate collaborative learning was implemented. The results of a questionnaire distributed within the department and yearly OTE scores were collected.ResultsResidents and faculty attendings reported comparable exposure to educational formats throughout their training, although residents had more experience with flipped classroom settings. Both groups had similar attitudes toward the importance and effectiveness of educational opportunities. There was a statistically significant improvement in OTE scores in each of the 2 years after implementation of the educational changes (P = .0296 and P = .00237, respectively), with all current residents improving their scores on the most recent OTE.ConclusionsThrough implementation of this integrative educational curriculum our residents showed significant improvement in OTE scores. Our results suggest that this type of curriculum, which combines a variety of approaches including a flipped classroom model with active participation and integrates app technology, can improve resident performance on educational assessments.Level of Evidence2Laryngoscope, 130:615–621, 2020

Polyethylene composites filled with n‐alkyl‐functionalized siloxane‐silsesquioxane resins and sol‐gel silicas

Published: May 2019

AbstractHigh‐density polyethylene (HDPE) composites filled with silicon‐based fillers were prepared by melt blending. The use of non‐functionalized and n‐octyl‐functionalized siloxane‐silsesquioxane resins and the sol‐gel silicas as fillers allowed us to evaluate the influence of functionalization of the fillers on the properties of the composites. The melting and crystallization temperatures of the composites were found to be only slightly affected by the addition of the silicon‐based fillers. In turn, the crystallization degree values were increased, in particular for the materials containing non‐functionalized fillers. The free‐volume properties of the composites did not change significantly in comparison with the neat polyethylene. The composites filled with the n‐octyl‐functionalized fillers were characterized by high thermal stability (in air) due to improved polymer/filler compatibility and consequently due to more uniform dispersion of the silicon‐based compounds in the polymer matrix. Better mechanical properties were obtained for the composites with functionalized fillers as compared to the materials with non‐functionalized ones.

Published: May 2019

AbstractOne of the crucial points in the production of CdTe solar cells is the insertion of copper in the back contact and in the absorber. As demonstrated by the top performing devices presented in literature: copper is necessary for high efficiency devices. However, despite this, copper was found to be a fast diffuser degrading the cell in the long term. Different approaches for limiting this effect have been widely presented from several laboratories, from the preparation of CuxTe by the controlled evaporation of Cu and Te to the application of ZnTe, which incorporates Cu, blocking its diffusion in the bulk. We have developed a wet deposition method for inserting in the CdTe structure a quantity of copper equivalent to a 0.1‐nm‐thick Cu layer. We are able to reach similar efficiencies to the ones of devices with a standard 2‐nm‐thick evaporated copper layer, but with a dramatic improvement in performance stability.
Combined Application of Graphene‐Family Materials and Silk Fibroin in Biomedicine

Published: May 2019

AbstractThe main graphene‐family materials used in biomedicine include graphene, graphene oxide, and reduced graphene oxide. They have been well documented for their distinctive microstructure and excellent physicochemical properties. Although they also have some shortcomings, such as slow biodegradation and dose‐dependent biotoxicity, these problems can be solved by using them in conjunction with other biomaterials. Silk fibroin (SF), a natural polymer material with many advantageous properties, has been used widely in biomedicine. However, SF requires modification by other biomaterials to improve its mechanical properties and control its degradation rate for further use. In recent years, the combined application of graphene‐family materials and SF has increased gradually, and the effects of it on cell behavior have been preliminary investigated, such as promoting cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Further studies of the combined use have been conducted in biomedicine, including tissue engineering, biosensor, and other biomedical usage. In this paper, this combined application has been outlined and summarized, and some envisioned challenges and future perspectives have been mentioned. We hope that this review will provide some reference and inspiration for the combined application of graphene‐family materials and SF in biomedicine in the future.
