Vers une nouvelle modernité sanitaire : l’épidémie de peste de Majorque en 1820
Authors: Moll Isabel , Salas Vives Pere , Pujadas-Mora Joana María 
Published: February 2018

Cet article présente l’épidémie de peste survenue à Majorque, de mai à décembre 1820, en la replaçant dans un double contexte. D’une part, son impact sur la société majorquine et d’autre part son lien avec les propositions qui sont formulées dans le domaine de la santé publique, en particulier à cette période où l’État commence à s’impliquer dans la gestion de la santé publique et où se développent de nouveaux paradigmes en médecine. L’article est organisé en quatre parties : les caractéristiques principales de l’évolution de cette épidémie, l’analyse des controverses sur la nature de la maladie, la description des politiques sanitaires développées pour faire face à son expansion, et l’impact de l’épidémie en dehors de l’île. La documentation utilisée provient de trois sources : les écrits des médecins qui ont été confrontés à l’épidémie, l’information fournie par la presse de l’époque (de Palma et de Barcelone). La correspondance des consuls français aux îles Baléares, déposée aux archives du Ministère des Affaires Étrangères (La Courneuve, France). Notre travail montre que la peste de 1820 marque le début de la mise en œuvre d’une politique de santé publique moderne à Majorque, anticipant de quelques décennies une création que les historiens ont attribué au choléra dans le reste de l’Europe.
Swept-Source OCT Angiography of Full-Thickness Macular Holes: Appearance and Artifacts
Authors: Michalewska Zofia , Nawrocki Jerzy 
Published: February 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) images in full-thickness macular holes (FTMHs).

PATIENTS AND METHODS:
SS-OCTA of FTMHs was performed before or after surgery. Vitrectomy with the temporal inverted internal limiting membrane flap technique was used. The authors measured the diameter and area of the foveal avascular zone (FAZ) in superficial and deep retina vasculature.

RESULTS:
In 88 patients, two artifact types were observed. First, a hyperreflective circle in the center corresponding to a segmentation failure, as in these cases the segmentation line automatically relocated below the retinal pigment epithelium. Second, in macular holes with cystic spaces around the fovea, detection of blood flow was only partially possible, showing artifacts in the perifoveal vasculature.

CONCLUSION:
The authors present artifacts occurring during visualization of FTMHs with SS-OCTA and the means to correct them. Eyes with decreased postoperative central retinal thickness have an increased FAZ in the deep retinal layer plexus.

Dans le cadre d’un dialogue avec plusieurs collègues venus d’horizons de recherche distincts, cet article vise à revenir sur les cadres historiographiques et méthodologiques du travail engagé dans le livre Impressions de Chine. L’Europe et l’englobement du monde (xvie-xviie siècles) (Paris, Fayard, 2016). Les principaux éléments en sont l’horizon de l’histoire global et ses enjeux épistémologiques ; les savoirs de l’espace et les modalités de leur production entre observation du terrain, interactions avec les acteurs locaux et savoirs de cabinet ; le rôle des empires ibériques dans la réalisation matérielle et intellectuelle de l’englobement du monde par l’Europe dans la période considérée.
L’administration vénitienne et l’évolution des techniques d’enregistrement des étrangers dans le contexte de la Révolution française (1789-1797)
Authors: Bertrand Gilles 
Published: February 2018

Quel impact eut, en temps de Révolution, l’afflux des Français et de leurs voisins sur la manière de consigner à Venise les mouvements d’étrangers arrivés d’Italie ou du reste de l’Europe ? Continuant de préférer les annotations aux passeports, les inquisiteurs d’État rassemblèrent fébrilement les informations délivrées par les hôteliers, logeurs et monastères, mais aussi curés de paroisse, courriers et voiturins, magistratures chargées du contrôle des entrées et sorties à Venise, maîtres des postes et agents des villes de Terre ferme. La surveillance se renforça en dressant des listes, en multipliant les relevés et répertoires, en guettant les transferts d’étrangers d’une résidence à l’autre afin d’inscrire leurs allées et venues dans un maillage territorial le plus serré possible. Sans forcément garantir l’efficacité des nouveaux moyens mis en œuvre…
La Commission des barricades de la République romaine (1848-1849) : une « technologie politique » ? Réflexion sur les contextes mouvants de l’innovation
Authors: Brice Catherine 
Published: February 2018

Cet article propose une triple lecture des liens entre mobilité et innovation autour des barricades de la République romaine de 1849 et d’une organisation créée pour les édifier, la Commission des barricades. Une étude de la Commission des barricades permet de rendre compte de la complexité du lien établi entre les deux termes, mobilité et innovation. Trois types de cadrage seront proposés : la barricade comme un cadre de la mobilisation populaire, comme un type d’administration ou comme un instrument du contrôle social. On voit alors que cette innovation importée peut s’avérer techniquement contestée (entre le politique et le militaire), normativement ambiguë (une comptabilité vertueuse et transparente entre comptabilité publique et privée) ou enfin conflictuelle (entre des techniques de contrôle du territoire anciennes et modernes). La barricade apparaît comme une forme de technologie politique importée, adaptée, disputée.
Operatie Inzicht in Kwaliteit: dwing de cultuuromslag af met een vernieuwde RPE

Operatie Inzicht in Kwaliteit: dwing de cultuuromslag af met een vernieuwde RPE
De Operatie Inzicht in Kwaliteit van het kabinet-Rutte III moet leiden tot beter overheidsbeleid door de kennis over de doeltreffendheid en doelmatigheid te vergroten en het evaluatiestelsel te verbeteren. De Operatie moet een cultuuromslag realiseren, niet via verplichte voorschriften maar via intrinsieke betrokkenheid. Zo’n Operatie kost veel tijd en geld en kent een politiek risico. Zolang het uitgangspunt blijft dat effectiever overheidsbeleid te realiseren is door meer aandacht voor doelmatigheid en doeltreffendheid, is de kans op verbetering klein. De uitvoerbaarheid en aanvaardbaarheid van beleid in de praktijk blijven dan te veel uit het zicht, en daarmee ook de werkelijke effectiviteit van beleid. Het institutionaliseren van ook deze twee criteria via een vernieuwde Regeling Periodiek Evaluatieonderzoek (RPE) zal resulteren in beter beleid en politieke verantwoording. De cultuuromslag ontstaat vanzelf wanneer de vernieuwde RPE een vanzelfsprekende manier van werken wordt. Een cultuuromslag is wel degelijk te realiseren met een voorschrift. Eenvoudiger, sneller, goedkoper en met minder politiek risico.
éDesistance’ en slachtoffer-daderbemiddeling in Belgié

Desistance and victim-offender mediation in Belgium – The decisive role of the mediator
This article presents some of the results of a study in which 25 adult men were interviewed who took part in restorative mediation in the French speaking part of Belgium and were desisting from crime. Their narratives were used to find out whether participation in restorative justice influenced positively their journey towards desistance; if so, which factors in restorative mediation supported this change process and how these factors had been helpful. The results suggest that restorative mediation has the potential to contribute to desistance in a humble, but significant way. Core aspects of mediation supported mostly already started desistance processes and they were helpful in a mainly cognitive way. The authors propose to further investigate the specific and helpful ‘presence’ of mediators and to reflect upon the apparent absence in restorative mediation of practical follow-up support towards desistance.
The impact on global warming potential of converting from disposable to reusable sharps containers in a large US hospital geographically distant from polymer and container manufacturer
Authors: McPherson Brett , Sharip Mihray , Grimmond Terry 
Published: February 2018

Background. Sustainable purchasing can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions at healthcare facilities (HCF). A previous study found that converting from disposable to reusable sharps containers (DSC, RSC) reduced sharps waste stream GHG by 84% but, in finding transport distances impacted significantly on GHG outcomes, recommended further studies where transport distances are large. This case-study examines the impact on GHG of nation-wide transport distances when a large US health system converted from DSC to RSC.
Methods. The study examined the alternate use of DSC and RSC at a large US university hospital where: the source of polymer was distant from the RSC manufacturing plant; both manufacturing plants were over 3,000 km from the HCF; and the RSC disposal plant was considerably further from the HCF than was the DSC disposal plant. Using a “cradle to grave” life cycle assessment (LCA) tool we calculated annual GHG emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O) in metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (MTCO2eq) to assess the impact on global warming potential (GWP) of each container system. Primary energy input data was used wherever possible and region-specific impact conversions used to calculate GWP of each activity over a 12-month period. Unit process GHG were collated into Manufacture, Transport, Washing, and Treatment & disposal. Emission totals were workload-normalized and analysed using CHI2 test with P ≤0.05 and rate ratios at 95% CL.
Results. The hospital reduced its annual GWP by 168 MTCO2eq (-64.5%; p < 0.001), and annually eliminated 50.2 tonnes of plastic DSC and 8.1 tonnes of cardboard from the sharps waste stream. Of the plastic eliminated, 31.8 tonnes were diverted from landfill and 18.4 from incineration.
Discussion. Unlike GHG reduction strategies dependent on changes in staff behaviour (waste segregation, recycling, turning off lights, car-pooling, etc), purchasing strategies can enable immediate, sustainable and institution-wide GHG reductions to be achieved. Medical waste containers contribute significantly to the supply chain carbon footprint and, although non-sharp medical waste volumes have decreased significantly with avid segregation, sharps wastes have increased, and can account for 50% of total medical waste volume. Thus converting from DSC to RSC can assist reduce the GWP footprint of the medical waste stream. This study confirmed that large transport distances between polymer manufacturer and container manufacturer; container manufacturer and user; and/or between user and processing facilities, can significantly impact the GWP of sharps containment systems. However, even with large transport distances, we found that a large university health system significantly reduced the GWP of their sharps waste stream by converting from DSC to RSC.
Different intensities of basketball drills affect jump shot accuracy of expert and junior players
Authors: Marcolin Giuseppe , Camazzola Nicola , Panizzolo Fausto Antonio , Grigoletto Davide , Paoli Antonio 
Published: February 2018

Background
In basketball a maximum accuracy at every game intensity is required while shooting. The aim of the present study was to investigate the acute effect of three different drill intensity simulation protocols on jump shot accuracy in expert and junior basketball players.

Materials & Methods
Eleven expert players (age 26 ± 6 yrs, weight 86 ± 11 kg, height 192 ± 8 cm) and ten junior players (age 18 ± 1 yrs, weight 75 ± 12 kg, height 184 ± 9 cm) completed three series of twenty jump shots at three different levels of exertion. Counter Movement Jump (CMJ) height was also measured after each series of jump shots. Exertion’s intensity was induced manipulating the basketball drills. Heart rate was measured for the whole duration of the tests while the rating of perceived exertion (RPE) was collected at the end of each series of shots.

Results
Heart rate and rating of perceived exertion (RPE) were statistically different in the three conditions for both expert and junior players. CMJ height remained almost unchanged in both groups. Jump shot accuracy decreased with increasing drills intensity both in experts and junior players. Expert players showed higher accuracy than junior players for all the three levels of exertion (83% vs 64%, p < 0.001; 75% vs 57%, p < 0.05; 76% vs 60%, p < 0.01). Moreover, for the most demanding level of exertion, experts showed a higher accuracy in the last ten shots compared to the first ten shots (82% vs 70%, p < 0.05).

Discussion
Experts coped better with the different exertion’s intensities, thus maintaining a higher level of performance. The introduction of technical short bouts of high-intensity sport-specific exercises into skill sessions should be proposed to improve jump shot accuracy during matches.
Topside Electron Density Representations for Middle and High Latitudes: A Topside Parameterization for E‐CHAIM Based On the NeQuick

AbstractIn this study, we present a topside model representation to be used by the Empirical Canadian High Arctic Ionospheric Model (E‐CHAIM). In the process of this, we also present a comprehensive evaluation of the NeQuick's, and by extension the International Reference Ionosphere's, topside electron density model for middle and high latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere. Using data gathered from all available incoherent scatter radars, topside sounders, and Global Navigation Satellite System Radio Occultation satellites, we show that the current NeQuick parameterization suboptimally represents the shape of the topside electron density profile at these latitudes and performs poorly in the representation of seasonal and solar cycle variations of the topside scale thickness. Despite this, the simple, one variable, NeQuick model is a powerful tool for modeling the topside ionosphere. By refitting the parameters that define the maximum topside scale thickness and the rate of increase of the scale height within the NeQuick topside model function, r and g, respectively, and refitting the model's parameterization of the scale height at the F region peak, H0, we find considerable improvement in the NeQuick's ability to represent the topside shape and behavior. Building on these results, we present a new topside model extension of the E‐CHAIM based on the revised NeQuick function. Overall, root‐mean‐square errors in topside electron density are improved over the traditional International Reference Ionosphere/NeQuick topside by 31% for a new NeQuick parameterization and by 36% for a newly proposed topside for E‐CHAIM.
Multiyear Shallow Conduit Changes Observed With Lava Lake Eruption Seismograms at Erebus Volcano, Antarctica
Authors: Knox H. A. , Chaput J. A. , Aster R. C. , Kyle P. R. 
Published: February 2018

AbstractWe analyze near‐repeating broadband seismograms from nearly 3,000 eruptions (2003–2011) from the Erebus volcano lava lake to investigate temporal changes in the shallow eruptive dynamics of an open conduit volcano. Cross‐correlation analysis reveals progressive variable time lags between correlation‐aligned short period (SP) and very long period (VLP) seismogram components ranging over approximately ±1 s and evolving over weeks to months. Lava lake eruptions both excite an SP explosion seismic signal and gravitationally unload the conduit. After a delay of several seconds, this unloading excites a posteruptive, minute‐long VLP seismic signal that persist for several minutes until the lava lake is refilled. VLP‐SP lag variations are consistent across multiple seismic stations and are independent of eruption size, spectral characteristics, eruption frequency, and lava lake morphology changes. Lag changes are interpreted in terms of variable communication time between eruptions and the subsequent elastic and gravitational response of a tomographically imaged near‐summit magma storage and VLP source region several hundred meters below the lava lake. Tomographic and VLP moment tensor studies, combined with modeling, suggest that the elastodynamic communication time between the distinct SP and VLP source regions is mediated by conduit‐guided Stoneley waves within the uppermost magma‐filled conduit system that are sensitive to small shallow conduit geometry changes. Conduit geometry changes may be driven by internal or external processes, including conduit wall melting and refreezing, repeated eruptive slug erosion, and deformation from inner crater inflation or collapse.
Subyearling Siberian Sturgeon Acipenser baeri Fed a Diet Supplemented with ImmunoGen: Effects on Growth Performance, Body Composition, and Hematological and Serum Biochemical Parameters

Published: February 2018

Abstract
In this research, the effect of ImmunoGen (IMNO) on the growth indices, hematological parameters, and carcass composition of Siberian Sturgeon Acipenser baeri was investigated. After acclimation, fish (274.8 ± 16.2 g) were allocated into 12 tanks (10 fish per tank) and triplicate groups were fed a control diet (0%) or diets containing 0.5, 1.0, or 1.5% IMNO for 75 d. At the end of the experiment, final length, final weight, and weight gain were significantly higher in the fish fed the diet containing 1.0% IMNO, though no significant differences were observed between the control and experimental diets containing 0.5% and 1.5% IMNO. In addition, there were no significant differences among diets in terms of hematological parameters and carcass composition. However, dietary IMNO significantly affected the serum biochemical parameters of Siberian Sturgeon, such as cholesterol, triglycerides, and IgM, with the highest level of IgM occurring in the 1.0% IMNO treatment and the lowest levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the 1.5% IMNO treatment. The findings of this study thus indicate that the administration of 1.0% IMNO in diet positively affects the growth factors and some serum biochemical parameters of Siberian Sturgeon.
