LA PASSION DE HALLÂJ : ENTRE LE RÉCIT FACTUEL ET LE RÉCIT FICTIONNEL
Authors: Khalifa Eqbal Samir 
Published: August 2017

Hallâj est l’une des personnalités les plus éminentes du soufisme. Un grand procès politique et
religieux, qui opposa, à Bagdad, en 309/922, Shi‘ites et Sunnites, juristes et Soufis, l'excommunia et le
condamna au gibet, pour avoir prêché l’identification du mystique à Dieu, par amour.
L’objectif de ce travail est de faire une comparaison de deux oeuvres française et égyptienne, qui se
sont penchées sur la vie de ce Soufi, en l’occurrence, un récit factuel, le premier tome de « La passion de
Hallâj » de Louis Massignon, et un récit fictionnel, la pièce de théâtre de Salah Abd Al-Sabour, « Le drame de
Hallâj ». Cette étude procède par deux étapes. La première s’attarde sur les stratégies argumentatives
adoptées par Massignon pour réhabiliter Hallâj. La seconde propose une lecture « palimpsestueuse » du
récit fictionnel, qui fait résonner un nouveau discours sur Hallâj.
CONCEPTUALISATION ONTOLOGIQUE DE LA REPRÉSENTATION DU COMBAT
Authors: Rheault Sylvain 
Published: August 2017

En adoptant une perspective existentielle, on peut tenter d'expliquer la représentation du combat au moyen de
concepts comme les positions de SOI et de L'AUTRE ainsi que les statuts de l'ÊTRE et de la CHOSE, qui, une fois
combinés, définissent des domaines ontologiques. Le combat devient alors, conceptuellement, l'action de forcer
une conscience à passer d'un domaine à un autre. On observe qu'en modifiant l'intensité des positions
(polarisation), des statuts (hiérarchisation) et des actions (dosage), on peut expliquer les variations possibles des
représentations du combat. Il restera à valider la pertinence de ces concepts en multipliant les analyses.

Authors: Singh Ajanta 
Published: August 2017

Background and Objectives: Nursing is practice oriented education where knowledge, skill and attitudes are taught simultaneously. Learning environment, resources and supportive measures are the important factors for determining academic success and learning. The objective of this study was to find out the perception of the B.Sc. level pass out students towards the academic course provided to them.Material and Methods: Descriptive study was conducted to find out the perception of the students. Self-administered questionnaire were used to collect information regarding demographic information of the respondents and their perceptions were viewed in terms of learning environment, resources and supportive measures. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze the data and findings were presented in tables in terms of frequency and percentage.Results: Almost all (93%) of the respondents were living in Kathmandu permanently, only 41% of them had nursing as their first professional career. Most of them (82.8%) responded that the course content were enough. More than half of the respondent (58.6%) suggested adding more content on FP/MCH/ Immunization. Very few 13% felt that courses like health teaching (13.8%) in first year, nail care (6.9%) and bed making (10.3%) seems unnecessary. Very few that were only 31% of teachers met the student’s expectation and were not satisfied with the teaching strategy of most of the teachers. Senior students were the most (56.7%) helping characters in their learning period. More than ninety percent (93%) had their plan to go abroad for job/study and the choice of country was USA (41.3%).Conclusion: Based on the findings it was concluded that certain changes in the course is necessary and teaching strategies has to be modified for better results.

Entre la banque mixte et la banque d’affaires : la Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas et sa stratégie industrielle : 1900-1930
Authors: Bussière Éric 
Published: August 2017

L’histoire de la Banque de Paris et des Pays-Bas, principale banque d’affaires française, est marquée par deux poussées de l’investissement industriel au cours de la première moitié du siècle : vers 1900 puis à la fin de la première guerre mondiale ; elles furent suivies de brusques temps d’arrêt. Au début du siècle la banque investit dans la métallurgie, la chimie ; les résultats ne sont pas favorables et la banque se détourne de l’investissement industriel. A la fin du premier conflit mondial, la banque développe une stratégie beaucoup plus globale, touchant les principaux secteurs, puis, à la suite de la crise de 1921, croit pouvoir orienter un large processus de concentration dans l’industrie française. Une fois encore elle doit se résigner à des objectifs plus modestes : elle profite du mouvement de fusion des années 1928-1930 pour opérer certains dégagements mais ne le conduit pas. Ces deux épisodes marquent une tendance des banques d’affaires françaises à se rapprocher du modèle allemand au cours du XX e siècle sans jamais l’avoir pleinement adopté.
Association et capital : le développement et l’organisation de la Société des Lunetiers
Authors: Faraut François 
Published: August 2017

Des ouvriers lunetiers s’associent en 1849 à Paris pour être en mesure de vendre eux-mêmes leur production. Le succès les transforme en une sorte de patron collectif : la Société des Lunetiers combine un étonnant régime d’assemblée à la promotion interne jusqu’aux plus hautes fonctions et à la transmission interne du capital. L’entreprise en vient à dominer une grande partie du marché français de l’optique à la fin du XIX e siècle, s’annexant et développant plusieurs usines dans le département de la Meuse, pour fournir la vente en gros aux opticiens détaillants. Mais par son mode de fonctionnement et de reproduction introverti, elle s’interdit le recours à des capitaux et à des capacités humaines en provenance de l’extérieur. Il s’ensuivit au début du XX e siècle un certain retard face à la concurrence. Le redressement et l’expansion mondiale seront dans les années 1950-1960 le résultat d’importantes innovations réussies en matière de produits (verres progressifs en particulier).
La Maison Berger-Levrault et la négociation du tarif à Nancy au début du siècle
Authors: Birck Françoise , Didry Claude 
Published: August 2017

Le dynamisme industriel de la maison Berger-Levrault correspond en grande partie aux spécificités d’une production liée aux commandes de l’État, qui en fait une « usine d’imprimerie ». L’attachement des typographes à leur maison rencontre un métier aux fortes traditions auxquelles ils peuvent difficilement échapper et qui s’expriment à travers la négociation collective d’un tarif. La résistance au tarif dans l’agglomération nancéienne au tournant du siècle nous a fourni un indice du poids de la maison Berger-Levrault dans l’imprimerie nancéienne. La grève de 1901 intervient à un moment où cette maison s’ouvre à de nouveaux marchés dans le cadre d’une industrie nancéienne de l’imprimerie qui s’est profondément transformée.
Les savoirs de l’intervention en entreprise
Authors: Hatchuel Armand 
Published: August 2017

L’intervention dans les entreprises de chercheurs issus des sciences économiques et sociales connaît un développement croissant. Mais sur quels savoirs s’appuient ces interventions ? Comment les chercheurs voient-ils l’évolutif des organisations ? Comment en déduisent-il les principes de leur démarche ? Au delà d’un compte rendu d’expériences, cet article expose les éléments d’une théorie de l’intervention conçue comme une démarche de connaissance. Un réexamen des héritages taylorien et weberien permet d’abord de entrer la complémentarité cachée de ces deux approches. On comprend alors les liens de conditionnement mutuel qui existent entre la dynamique des savoirs et la transformation des acteurs ou celle de leurs relations dans une entreprise. Or ce sont ces liens qui servent d’appui à une démarche d’intervention, et qu’elle tente d’enrichir. Ce sont encore ces liens que la recherche historique sur les entreprises retrouve comme un déterminant de leur capacité de renouvellement. Il y a ainsi une vision qui convient autant à celui qui interprète l’histoire des organisations qu’à celui qui tente d’y agir. Cette vision permet de poser les principes de « rationalité accrue », d’« inachèvement », de « scientificité » et d’« isonomie » qui, avec d’autres, peuvent guider une démarche de connaissance et délimiter l’autonomie du chercheur dans l’entreprise. Elle montre aussi la nécessité de dépasser les approches socio-techniques et stratégiques de la vie des organisations. Enfin, cette théorie de l’intervention peut être une contribution aux philosophies de l’action contemporaines pour la place qu’elle accorde au concept de « mythe rationnel » comme attribut paradoxal des grands outils manageriaux.
Barriers to Achieving Economies of Scale in Analysis of EHR Data
Authors: Sendak Mark P. , Balu Suresh , Schulman Kevin A. 
Published: August 2017

SummarySigned in 2009, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act infused $28 billion of federal funds to accelerate adoption of electronic health records (EHRs). Yet, EHRs have produced mixed results and have even raised concern that the current technology ecosystem stifles innovation. We describe the development process and report initial outcomes of a chronic kidney disease analytics application that identifies high-risk patients for nephrology referral. The cost to validate and integrate the analytics application into clinical workflow was $217,138. Despite the success of the program, redundant development and validation efforts will require $38.8 million to scale the application across all multihospital systems in the nation. We address the shortcomings of current technology investments and distill insights from the technology industry. To yield a return on technology investments, we propose policy changes that address the underlying issues now being imposed on the system by an ineffective technology business model.Citation: Sendak MP, Balu S, Schulman KH.

Published: August 2017

ABSTRACTSquamous cell carcinoma of the penis was diagnosed by incisional biopsy of a penile mass in a 12 yr old intact male beagle dog presenting with hemorrhagic discharge from the prepuce. Penile amputation, orchiectomy with scrotal ablation, and scrotal urethrostomy were performed. Hypertrophic osteopathy secondary to pulmonary metastatic disease occurred 10 mo after the surgery. Palliative treatment with piroxicam was administered and led to complete resolution of the clinical signs of the pain. Sixteen months following surgery, the dog presented with significant dyspnea and anorexia and was euthanized due to poor prognosis. This case report describes a rare penile tumor, squamous cell carcinoma. Consequent paraneoplastic hypertrophic osteopathy and its palliative treatment are also reviewed.
Staphylococcal Enterotoxin Type R Pseudogene Presence in Staphylococcus aureus Reference and Outbreak Strains
Authors: Hait Jennifer M , Bennett Reginald W , Monday Steven R 
Published: August 2017

Abstract
Novel staphylococcal enterotoxins (SEs) expressed by Staphylococcus aureus strains have been described throughout the years, among these being the SE protein SER. To further characterize this toxin, this research used 13 S. aureus strains previously determined to contain the SE type R (ser) gene. These S. aureus isolates were evaluated using serological assays for identification of SEA–SEE and PCR for the detection of newly described SE and SE-like enterotoxin genes seg–seu. PCR-based cloning was performed such that the ser gene could be ligated into the pTrc99A plasmid expression vector. Ligation products were used to transform Escherichia coli (DH10Br) strains so that the ser open reading frame (ORF) could be sequenced and expressed for further characterization. Four of the 13 S. aureus strains tested harbored a ser ORF that yielded a PCR-positive result, but contained a frameshift mutation that subsequently introduced a premature stop codon abrogating expression of a full-sized functional protein. In this study, 30% of the PCR-positive ser strains tested were found to carry genes that coded for a nonfunctional SER protein, a finding that clearly illustrates the limited effectiveness of PCR for reliably evaluating enterotoxin potential for ser and, perhaps, other enterotoxin types.

ImportanceFew suicide risk identification tools have been developed specifically for American Indian and Alaska Native populations, even though these populations face the starkest suicide-related inequities.ObjectiveTo examine the accuracy of existing machine learning models in a majority American Indian population.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis prognostic study used secondary data analysis of electronic health record data collected from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021. Existing models from the Mental Health Research Network (MHRN) and Vanderbilt University (VU) were fitted. Models were compared with an augmented screening indicator that included any previous attempt, recent suicidal ideation, or a recent positive suicide risk screen result. The comparison was based on the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). The study was performed in partnership with a tribe and local Indian Health Service (IHS) in the Southwest. All patients were 18 years or older with at least 1 encounter with the IHS unit during the study period. Data were analyzed between October 6, 2022, and July 29, 2024.ExposuresSuicide attempts or deaths within 90 days.Main Outcomes and MeasuresModel performance was compared based on the ability to distinguish between those with a suicide attempt or death within 90 days of their last IHS visit with those without this outcome.ResultsOf 16 835 patients (mean [SD] age, 40.0 [17.5] years; 8660 [51.4%] female; 14 251 [84.7%] American Indian), 324 patients (1.9%) had at least 1 suicide attempt, and 37 patients (0.2%) died by suicide. The MHRN model had an AUROC value of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.77-0.85) for 90-day suicide attempts, whereas the VU model had an AUROC value of 0.68 (95% CI, 0.64-0.72), and the augmented screening indicator had an AUROC value of 0.66 (95% CI, 0.63-0.70). Calibration was poor for both models but improved after recalibration.Conclusion and RelevanceThis prognostic study found that existing risk identification models for suicide prevention held promise when applied to new contexts and performed better than relying on a combined indictor of a positive suicide risk screen result, history of attempt, and recent suicidal ideation.

AbstractPurposeTo explore the accuracy and feasibility of a proposed deep learning (DL) algorithm for clinical target volume (CTV) delineation in cervical cancer radiotherapy and evaluate whether it can perform well in external cervical cancer and endometrial cancer cases for generalization validation.MethodsA total of 332 patients were enrolled in this study. A state‐of‐the‐art network called ResCANet, which added the cascade multi‐scale convolution in the skip connections to eliminate semantic differences between different feature layers based on ResNet‐UNet. The atrous spatial pyramid pooling in the deepest feature layer combined the semantic information of different receptive fields without losing information. A total of 236 cervical cancer cases were randomly grouped into 5‐fold cross‐training (n = 189) and validation (n = 47) cohorts. External validations were performed in a separate cohort of 54 cervical cancer and 42 endometrial cancer cases. The performances of the proposed network were evaluated by dice similarity coefficient (DSC), sensitivity (SEN), positive predictive value (PPV), 95% Hausdorff distance (95HD), and oncologist clinical score when comparing them with manual delineation in validation cohorts.ResultsIn internal validation cohorts, the mean DSC, SEN, PPV, 95HD for ResCANet achieved 74.8%, 81.5%, 73.5%, and 10.5 mm. In external independent validation cohorts, ResCANet achieved 73.4%, 72.9%, 75.3%, 12.5 mm for cervical cancer cases and 77.1%, 81.1%, 75.5%, 10.3 mm for endometrial cancer cases, respectively. The clinical assessment score showed that minor and no revisions (delineation time was shortened to within 30 min) accounted for about 85% of all cases in DL‐aided automatic delineation.ConclusionsWe demonstrated the problem of model generalizability for DL‐based automatic delineation. The proposed network can improve the performance of automatic delineation for cervical cancer and shorten manual delineation time at no expense to quality. The network showed excellent clinical viability, which can also be even generalized for endometrial cancer with excellent performance.

Published: October 2024

ObjectiveWe wanted to determine if higher compliance with American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) exercise prescription guidelines influences exercise outcomes in knee osteoarthritis (OA).MethodsWe conducted a systematic review. We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, and Embase up to January 4, 2024, for randomized controlled trials evaluating resistance and/or aerobic exercise for knee OA. Interventions were classified as higher compliance (meeting ≥60% of ACSM guideline recommendations for frequency, intensity, and duration) or lower compliance (meeting <60% of recommendations). Effects on pain and function were evaluated via meta‐analysis, stratified by compliance.ResultsTwenty‐five trials (3,290 participants) evaluated combined resistance and aerobic programs, with no differences in outcomes between those with higher and lower compliance (standardized mean difference [SMD] pain: −0.38 [95% confidence interval (CI) −0.59 to −0.17] vs −0.31 [95% CI −0.45 to −0.16], respectively; SMD function: −0.43 [95% CI −0.64 to −0.21] vs −0.36 [95% CI −0.58 to −0.14]). Sixty‐six trials (5,231 participants) evaluated resistance exercise, with no differences between interventions with higher and lower compliance (SMD pain: −0.60 [95% CI −0.81 to −0.39] vs −0.93 [95% CI −1.27 to −0.59]; SMD function: −0.64 [95% CI −0.83 to −0.44] vs −0.85 [95% CI −1.20 to −0.49]). Twelve trials (958 participants) evaluated aerobic exercise, with no differences between interventions with higher and lower compliance (SMD pain: −0.79 [95% CI −1.20 to −0.38] vs −1.00 [95% CI −2.52 to 0.53]; SMD function: −0.83 [95% CI −1.27 to −0.38] vs −0.76 [95% CI −2.02 to 0.50]).ConclusionHigher or lower compliance with ACSM exercise prescription guidelines did not influence exercise outcomes. Given there was substantial heterogeneity and many publications were at risk of bias, our results should be interpreted with caution.
Dynamic Electromechanical Co‐Stimulation Based Enhancement of Skeletal Muscle Tissues for Fast Biosyncretic Robots Actuation

Published: October 2024

AbstractBiosyncretic robots composed of living and synthetic materials have garnered significant attention due to their high energy conversion efficiency, good biocompatibility and human‐robot interaction safety. Among common living actuation materials, artificial skeletal muscle tissue (ASMT) stands out for its good size scalability, controllability, and potential high driving force. However, due to the low differentiation efficiency of myoblasts, the performance of ASMT lags behind that of natural skeletal muscle tissue, thereby hindering the progress of biosyncretic robots. Here, inspired by the training mode of human skeletal muscle, an electromechanical co‐stimulation system for enhancing the performance of ASMTs is proposed. This system is capable of simultaneously applying electrical and mechanical stimulation to ASMTs. Moreover, the mechanical resistance can be dynamically adjusted during ASMT growth based on real‐time measurements of the contractile force of the ASMT. The results show that the enhanced ASMTs demonstrate improved differentiation and performance and can actuate a robot at a maximum speed of 2.38 mm s−1, which is faster than those of most currently reported ASMT‐based robots. This study introduces a novel approach for enhancing the performance of ASMTs, with substantial implications for the fields of biosyncretic robots and tissue engineering.
Shadow Mask Molecular Beam Epitaxy for In‐Plane Gradient Permittivity Materials
Authors: Mukherjee Shagorika , Sitaram Sai Rahul , Wang Xi , Law Stephanie 
Published: October 2024

AbstractInfrared spectroscopy currently requires the use of bulky, expensive, and/or fragile spectrometers. For gas sensing, environmental monitoring, or other applications, an inexpensive, compact, robust on‐chip spectrometer is needed. One way to achieve this is through gradient permittivity materials, in which the material permittivity changes as a function of position in the plane. Here, synthesis of infrared gradient permittivity materials is demonstrated using shadow mask molecular beam epitaxy. The permittivity of the material changes as a function of position in the lateral direction, confining varying wavelengths of infrared light at varying horizontal locations. An electric field enhancement corresponding to wavenumbers ranging from ≈650 to 900 cm−1 over an in‐plane width of ≈13 µm on the flat mesa of the sample is shown. An electric field enhancement corresponding to wavenumbers ranging from ≈900 to 1250 cm−1 over an in‐plane width of ≈13 µm on the slope of the sample is also shown. These two different regions of electric field enhancement develop on two opposite sides of the material. This demonstration of a scalable method of creating in‐plane gradient permittivity material can be leveraged for the creation of a variety of miniature infrared devices, such as an ultracompact spectrometer.
