La descualificación del trabajo en tiendas por departamento
Authors: Stecher Antonio , Martinic Rodolfo 
Published: November 2018

Se presenta los resultados de un estudio sobre la reorganización del proceso del trabajo de ventas implementado recientemente en las Tiendas por Departamentos de la industria del retail en Chile. Se utilizó el marco teórico de la Labor Process Theory y una perspectiva crítico-interpretativa de investigación social. Se empleó una metodología de carácter cualitativo, realizándose 31 entrevistas semi-estructuradas a trabajadores de primera línea y 6 entrevistas a expertos en el rubro, que fueron analizadas mediante los procedimientos de codificación de la teoría fundamentada. Los resultados describen la reorganización del proceso de trabajo de ventas y de los modelos de atención al cliente en las tiendas, y analizan sus consecuencias en términos del nivel de la complejidad de las tareas y de la autonomía de los trabajadores, constatando una evidente tendencia hacia la descualificación. Se concluye que esta tendencia ha conllevado una degradación de las condiciones de trabajo y empleo del personal de venta, lo que es coincidente con la evidencia internacional respecto a transformaciones organizacionales y laborales recientes en el sector servicios y la industria del retail a nivel mundial.
A 40-year global data set of visible-channel remote-sensing reflectances and coccolithophore bloom occurrence derived from the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer catalogue
Authors: Loveday Benjamin Roger , Smyth Timothy 
Published: November 2018

Abstract. A consistently calibrated 40-year-long data set of visible-channel
remote-sensing reflectance has been derived from the Advanced Very High
Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) sensor global time series. The data set uses as
its source the Pathfinder Atmospheres – Extended (PATMOS-x) v5.3 Climate
Data Record for top-of-atmosphere (TOA) visible-channel reflectances. This paper describes
the theoretical basis for the atmospheric correction procedure and its
subsequent implementation, including the necessary ancillary data files used
and quality flags applied, in order to determine remote-sensing reflectance.
The resulting data set is produced at daily, and archived at monthly,
resolution, on a 0.1∘×0.1∘ grid at
https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.892175. The primary aim of deriving this data set is to
highlight regions of the global ocean affected by highly reflective blooms of
the coccolithophorid Emiliania huxleyi (where lith concentration >2–5×104 mL−1) over the past 40 years.

Introduction:
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of hip and knee arthroplasties. Surgical cultures are essential for the diagnosis and treatment of PJI. Yet, the ideal culture duration remains unclear. This study compares culture yield, organism profile, and treatment success between standard (5 days) and extended (14 days) cultures in acute hip and knee PJI.

Methods:
A retrospective review of medical records was completed between 2006 and 2015. All patients with an acute PJI meeting the modified International Consensus Meeting on PJI criteria of a primary hip or knee arthroplasty were included. All patients underwent irrigation and débridement with exchange of modular bearing surfaces for an acute postoperative or acute hematogenous infection. A standard growth cohort (before February 2012) was compared with an extended growth cohort (after February 2012) to determine if differences existed in culture yield and treatment success using the Delphi consensus criteria.

Results:
One hundred eighty-nine patients were analyzed, including 102 (54.0%) standard duration and 87 (46.0%) extended duration cohorts. Patient cohorts were closely matched, except more hip PJIs than knee PJIs were included in the standard cohort (69.6% versus 49.4%; P = 0.005). No differences between standard and extended cohorts were observed with regard to overall culture yield, monomicrobial growth, or polymicrobial growth. Propionibacterium acnes was identified more often in the extended cohort (5 versus 0 patients; P = 0.019). However, four of these patients had only one positive P acnes culture and grew additional organisms. Finally, no difference in treatment success between the standard and extended cohorts at the final follow-up was found (53% versus 52%; P = 0.282).

Conclusion:
Extended culture duration in acute hip and knee PJIs did not change the rate of culture-negative PJI, identify more patients with polymicrobial PJI, or improve the success of surgical treatment. The only difference was a higher incidence of P acnes growth, but contaminants or indolent chronic PJI cannot be excluded. Although extended culture growth may be indicated in acute shoulder arthroplasty PJI, its utility in hip or knee arthroplasty may be limited. Higher-level studies will be needed to address this in the future.

2018/22 What is a collective agreement? Part two (DK)
The Danish Supreme Court has upheld the decision from the Danish Eastern High Court (reported in EELC 2017/26) on the implementation of the Working Time Directive to the effect that an ‘intervention act’ can be deemed to be a collective agreement within the meaning of Article 18 of the Working Time Directive.

2018/30 Harmonising terms of employment following a transfer is no simple matter (NL)
The transferee in this case attempted to replace the transferred employees’ salaries with lower in accordance with its collective agreement, compensating for the reduction by means of a ‘personal allowance’, which it then proceeded to reduce by a set percentage based on the age of the employees each time there was a wage increase. The court held that this ‘basket comparison’ method of harmonising the wages of old and new staff was at odds with Directive 2001/23, rejecting the transferee’s argument that the ‘ETO’ provision in that directive permits such an amendment of the terms of employment.

En quête de légitimité : la gestion du changement organisationnel comme processus de légitimation
Authors: BARBAROUX Pierre , GAUTIER Anaïs 
Published: November 2018

A partir d’une étude de cas portant sur le déploiement d’une nouvelle unité au sein des forces aériennes canadiennes, cet article explore la gestion du changement organisationnel comme processus de légitimation. Les résultats de l’étude montrent, d’une part, que la gestion du changement repose sur quatre stratégies de légitimation : la mise à l’épreuve de la nouvelle unité, la formation des acteurs, la modification des règles de gestion et l’élargissement de son périmètre d’activités; d’autre part, leur articulation définit un processus de légitimation composé de quatre phases : la construction, la pérennisation, l’approfondissement et le développement de la légitimité.

Published: November 2018

Porter et Kramer (2006, 2011) proposent avec le concept de création de valeur partagée de mettre en cohérence la stratégie des entreprises avec leurs démarches de responsabilité sociétale (RSE). Toutefois, Porter et Kramer semblent avoir élaboré leur concept pour les grandes organisations. Cette étude basée sur une enquête réalisée auprès de 488 dirigeants de PME françaises propose de tester la validité des leviers de la création de valeur partagée dans un contexte PME : (1) la participation à un cluster local, (2) la reconception des produits/services et des marchés, (3) la redéfinition de la chaîne de valeur.
A taxonomic reassessment of Piramys auffenbergi, a neglected turtle from the late Miocene of Piram Island, Gujarat, India
Authors: Ferreira Gabriel S. , Bandyopadhyay Saswati , Joyce Walter G. 
Published: November 2018

Background
Piramys auffenbergi was described as an emydine turtle based on a well-preserved skull retrieved from late Miocene deposits exposed on Piram Island, India. The description and figures provided in the original publication are vague and do not support assignment to Emydinae. This taxon has mostly been ignored by subsequent authors.

Material and Methods
We reexamine the holotype specimen, provide an extensive description and diagnosis for Piramys auffenbergi, and include this taxon in a global character-taxon matrix for Pleurodira.

Results
The presence of a processus trochlearis pterygoidei conclusively shows pleurodiran affinities for Piramys auffenbergi. Inclusion of this taxon in a phylogenetic analysis retrieves it within Stereogenyini closely related to the Asian taxa Shweboemys pilgrimi and Brontochelys gaffneyi.

Discussion
Our reexamination of the holotype of Piramys auffenbergi confidently rejects the original assessment of this taxon as an emydine testudinoid and conclusively shows affinities with the pleurodiran clade Stereogenyini instead. Even though most taxa from this lineage are thought to be coastal turtles, all Asian stereogenyines were collected from continental deposits, suggesting a more diverse paleoecology for the group.
Effects of sex and joint action on voluntary activation

Published: November 2018

The current study tested the hypothesis that voluntary activation during maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) conditionally depends on sex and joint action. Twenty-eight healthy adults (14 of each sex) performed knee extensor MVC and plantar flexor MVC at extended and flexed knee positions. Voluntary activation during MVC was assessed using a twitch interpolation technique. The voluntary activation during plantar flexor MVC at the extended knee position was significantly lower (P = 0.020, 95% confidence interval 1.4 to 14.6, Cohen’s d for between-subject design = 0.94) in women (88.3% ± 10.0%) than in men (96.2% ± 6.6%). In contrast, no significant sex differences were shown in the voluntary activation during knee extensor MVC (93.7% ± 5.9% (women) vs. 95.0% ± 3.9% (men)) and during plantar flexor MVC at the flexed knee position (90.4% ± 12.2% (women) vs. 96.8% ± 5.6% (men)). The voluntary activation during knee extensor MVC was significantly higher (P = 0.001, 95% confidence interval 2.1 to 8.8, Cohen’s d for within-subject design = 0.69) than that during plantar flexor MVC at the extended knee position in women, whereas the corresponding difference was not observed in men. The results revealed that the existence of sex difference in the voluntary activation during MVC depends on joint action and joint angle.

Published: November 2018

AbstractSilks are naturally spun fibrous proteins most often associated with silkworms and spiders. For more than 5000 years, silk fiber fromBombyx morisilkworm has been used by mankind as an excellent textile fiber “queen of textiles.” Silk fibers possess excellent mechanical properties due to a combination of strength and extensibility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Thus, silks are of high interest for researchers in many fields. Here, we review the current understandings of the production, structures, processing, and properties of silkworms and spider silks.In vivoandin vitrofindings in the field of silk research are the basis for the design of new proteins and processing strategies, which will enable applications of these fascinating protein‐based materials in the fields of biomedicine and materials engineering.
Nanocomposites, Metal‐Filled
Authors: Carotenuto G. 
Published: November 2018

AbstractBecause of surface effects and the dramatic changes in properties that occur when the critical length governing some phenomenon (eg, magnetic, structural) becomes comparable with size, metal clusters have unique characteristics (eg, plasmon absorption, near‐IR photoluminescence, superparamagnetism). The embedding of metal clusters into polymeric matrices represents a simple way to take advantage of mesoscopic metal characteristics. This article overviews polymer‐embedded metal clusters, including their classification, preparation, characterization, and applications.
GLUT6 is a lysosomal transporter that is regulated by inflammatory stimuli and modulates glycolysis in macrophages

Published: November 2018

The solute carrier family is an important protein class governing compound transport across membranes. However, some of its members remain functionally unidentified. We analyzed ChIP‐seq data for the NF‐κB family transcription factor RelA and identified GLUT6 as a functionally uncharacterized transporter that putatively works in inflammatory responses. Inflammatory stimuli increase GLUT6 expression level, although GLUT6‐knockout mice exhibit a subtle phenotype to lipopolysaccharide administration. Metabolomics and in vitro analyses show that GLUT6 functions as a glycolysis modulator in inflammatory macrophages. GLUT6 does not mediate glucose uptake and is localized on lysosomal membranes. We conclude that GLUT6 is a lysosomal transporter that is regulated by inflammatory stimuli and modulates inflammatory responses by affecting the metabolic shift in macrophages.
Generation of 3D Soluble Signal Gradients in Cell‐Laden Hydrogels Using Passive Diffusion

Published: November 2018

AbstractSoluble signal gradients play an important role in organ patterning, cell migration, and differentiation. Currently, signal gradients in 2D cell culture are realized using microfluidics and here cells are exposed to high and nonphysiological shear stress. Tissue morphogenesis (organogenesis) however occurs in 3D and therefore there is a need for simple and practical systems to impose gradients to cells dispersed in 3D matrix. Herein, a 3D gradient generator based on passive diffusion elements that recapitulates interstitial flow and is capable of imposing predictable gradients over long length scales (6 mm) lasting up to 48 h to cells dispersed in a hydrogel environment is reported. Using recombinant human WNT3A (rhWNT3A), the spatiotemporal activation of the canonical WNT pathway in human epithelial kidney cells and human mesenchymal stems cells expressing a green fluorescence protein reporter on a transcription factor/lymphoid enhancer‐binding factor (TCF/LEF) promoter is demonstrated. By refining computation models based on experimental findings, the diffusion coefficient of rhWNT3A in presence of human cells in 3D is determined. Furthermore, the formation of rhBMP4 gradients is visualized using immunohistochemistry by staining for phospho‐SMAD1/5, the downstream targets of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) pathway. The simplicity of the gradient generator is expected to spur its adoption in studying developmental biology paradigms in vitro.
Epitaxial Heterogeneous Interfaces on N‐NiMoO4/NiS2 Nanowires/Nanosheets to Boost Hydrogen and Oxygen Production for Overall Water Splitting

Published: November 2018

AbstractDeveloping bifunctional efficient electrocatalysts for both the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is in high demand for the development of overall water‐splitting devices. In particular, the electrocatalytic performance can be largely improved by designing positive nanoscale‐heterojunction with well‐tuned interfaces. Herein, a novel top‐down strategy is reported to construct the oxide/sulfide heterostructures (N‐NiMoO4/NiS2 nanowires/nanosheets) as a multisite HER/OER catalyst. Starting with the NiMoO4 nanowires, nitridation in a controlled manner enables activation of Ni sites in NiMoO4 and then yields oxide/sulfide heterojunction by directly vulcanizing the highly composition‐segregated N‐NiMoO4 nanowires. The abundant epitaxial heterogeneous interfaces at atomic‐level facilitate the electron transfer from N‐NiMoO4 to NiS2, which further cooperate synergistically toward both the hydrogen and oxygen generation in alkali solution. Furthermore, with N‐NiMoO4/NiS2 grown carbon fiber cloth as the engineering electrode, the assembled N‐NiMoO4/NiS2–N‐NiMoO4/NiS2 system can deliver a current density of 10 mA cm−2 with the cell voltage of 1.60 V in the water‐splitting reaction. This current density is 3.39 times higher than that of the Pt–Ir set (2.95 mA cm−2). The excellent catalytic performance offered of N‐NiMoO4/NiS2 nanowires/nanosheets presents a great example to demonstrate the significance of interface engineering in the field of electrocatalysis.
Ultralong Circulating Lollipop‐Like Nanoparticles Assembled with Gossypol, Doxorubicin, and Polydopamine via π–π Stacking for Synergistic Tumor Therapy

Published: November 2018

AbstractLong blood circulation in vivo remains a challenge to dual‐drug‐loaded nanocarriers for synergistic chemotherapy. Herein, a novel strategy to prepare lollipop‐like dual‐drug‐loaded nanoparticles (DOX–PDA–gossypol NPs) is developed based on the self‐assembly of gossypol, doxorubicin (DOX), and polydopamine (PDA) via π–π stacking. Dopamine polymerizes to PDA and fills the gaps between the gossypol and DOX molecules to form the super compact long‐circulating nanoparticles. The DOX–PDA–gossypol NPs show a suitable particle size of 59.6 ± 9.6 nm, high drug loading of 91%, superb stability, high maximum‐tolerated dose (MTD) of over 60 mg kg‐1, and negligible toxicity. These NPs also exhibit pH‐dependent drug release and low combination index (0.23). Notably, they show dramatically ultralong blood circulation (>192 h) with elimination half times 458‐fold and 258‐fold longer than that of free DOX and free gossypol, respectively. These values are markedly higher than most of the reported results. Therefore, the DOX–PDA–gossypol NPs have a high tumor accumulation of 12% remaining on the 8th day postinjection. This characteristic contributes to the excellent tumor comprehensive synergistic therapeutic efficacy (TIR > 90%) with low administration dosage and is benefitted for widening the drug therapeutic window. Thus, the proposed strategy has remarkable potential for tumor synergistic therapy.

Published: November 2018

AbstractFlexible actuators have important applications in artificial muscles, robotics, optical devices, and so on. However, most of the conventional actuators have only actuation function, lacking in real‐time sensing signal feedbacks. Here, to break the limitation and add functionality in conventional actuators, a graphene‐based actuator with integrated‐sensing function is reported, which avoids the dependence on image post‐processing for actuation detection and realizes real‐time measurement of the shape‐deformation amplitudes of the actuator. The actuator is able to show a large bending actuation (curvature of 1.1 cm−1) based on a dual‐mode actuation mechanism when it is driven by near infrared light. Meanwhile, the relative resistance change of the actuator is −17.5%. The sensing function is attributed to piezoresistivity and thermoresistivity of the reduced graphene oxide and paper composite. This actuator can be used as a strain sensor to monitor human motions. A smart gripper based on the actuators demonstrates perfect integration of the actuating and sensing functions, which can not only grasp and release an object, but also sense every actuation state of the actuator. The developed integrated‐sensing actuator is hopeful to open new application fields in soft robotics, artificial muscles, flexible wearable devices, and other integrated‐multifunctional devices.

Published: November 2018

AbstractCell‐free materials that can transmit both mechanical and electrical stimulations provide a promising strategy for myoinjury repair. Skeletal muscle is sensitive to electrical stimulation (ES), and accordingly, materials are required to transmit the electrical signal while maintaining their elasticity to build the cellular communication network in denervated muscle for retarding muscle atrophy. Here, tannic acid functionalized with methacrylate group (TA–MA), dopamine, and hydrothermal reduction are employed in multistep base reduction to fabricate a polydopamine (PDA)/reduced graphite oxide (rGO) aerogel. This mussel‐inspired PDA/rGO aerogel possesses good conductivity, electromechanical stability, and appropriate Young's modulus, which are favorable for the growth and differentiation of C2C12 myoblasts. After the cell‐free PDA/rGO aerogel‐transplanted denervated muscle is loaded with cyclic ES for 3 weeks, the mean muscle fiber size increases by 90% and the maximum contraction force of denervated muscle elevates by 50%, accompanied with a slight inflammation infiltration in muscle. In conclusion, PDA/rGO aerogel is a safe and effective implant for retarding the disuse muscle atrophy.
