L’atteinte à la vie familiale au Québec : premier mouvement
Authors: Lacroix Mariève 
Published: March 2016

Ni le Code civil du Québec, ni la Charte des droits et libertés de la personne ne comprennent des mesures visant à assurer le droit au respect de la vie familiale. La famille demeure pourtant le socle de la société. Simple omission ou oubli volontaire du législateur? Dans une première partie, l’auteure pose les jalons d’une théorie de la famille dans le Code civil. Si l’on insiste sur un droit à une vie familiale, il faut se poser la question : quelle famille? Sur la base d’une signification donnée de la famille, avec une emphase marquée pour la teneur des liens qui unit les membres de la cellule familiale, plus que sa seule composition, l’auteure relève, dans une seconde partie, les mécanismes qui sanctionnent des atteintes à la famille. De cette analyse du droit québécois sur les atteintes à la vie familiale, l’auteure conclut que les tribunaux sanctionnent des atteintes directes (aliénation d’affection) et indirectes (perte de consortium et de servitium, et solatium doloris) à la vie familiale. Ils condamnent également des atteintes à la dignité, à l’honneur et à la réputation de la famille au regard du nom, mais aussi s’il y a offense du vivant d’un membre de la famille ou de sa dépouille mortelle. Par conséquent, un droit au respect de la vie familiale existe au Québec.
Upconversion photoluminescence imaging and spectroscopy of individual single-walled carbon nanotubes

Published: March 2016

Abstract
We demonstrate microscopic observations of recently discovered efficient upconversion (anti-Stokes) photoluminescence (UCPL) [Nat. Commun. 6, 8920 (2015)] of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs). UCPL images and spectra of the identical isolated SWNTs were obtained. Unlike previous observations on the SWNT ensemble, some individual SWNTs exhibit UCPL spectra coincident with Stokes PL spectra. The excitation polarization dependence of UCPL intensity indicates that the intermediate states in the upconversion process are extrinsic. These observations are likely to facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the UCPL mechanism towards the realization of highly efficient UCPL of SWNTs.

Hybrid Earth‐Timber Floor Slabs: Scaling Circular, Low‐Carbon Construction Through Automation
Authors: Bonwetsch Tobias , Huber Tobias 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWhilst reusable and sustainable, the age‐old construction technique of rammed earth is also labour intensive in its compacting and tamping, and therefore expensive. The contemporary building industry consequently shies away from it. Tobias Bonwetsch, co‐founder of Zurich‐based sustainable construction start‐up Rematter, and Tobias Huber of ZPF Ingenieure in Basel, describe their research into combining earth with locally sourced renewable timber and an automated manufacturing process to produce composite floor slabs that use the strengths and advantages of each material.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe current application of gel electrolytes in energy storage fails to meet the demand for higher ion transport and excellent mechanical properties due to the low ionic conductivity and poor mechanical properties. Herein, a novel strategy is proposed to graft oligomer polyetheramine on the surface of MXene to achieve a transformation from solid MXene to MXene nanofluid avoiding oxidation and aggregation of MXene, and then it is introduced to gel electrolytes providing ion transport channels and mechanical properties. The synergistic effect on the core of MXene and the canopy of polyetheramine produce Lewis acid–base interactions on electrolyte ions, which not only promote electrolyte dissociation but also provides ion transport path‐way. The experiment and molecular dynamics simulations show that the ionic diffusion ability of electrolyte ions is enhanced, because the MXene and polyetheramine promote electrolyte dissociation and reduce the electrostatic interference between anions and cations. The specific capacity of the assembled supercapacitor is 114.28 F g−1 at 1 A g−1 current density, and the capacity retention rate is 91.30% after 3000 cycles. This work provides a new insight for fabricating high‐performance devices.
Interpretable Fine‐Grained Phenotypes of Subcellular Dynamics via Unsupervised Deep Learning
Authors: Wang Chuangqi , Choi Hee June , Woodbury Lucy , Lee Kwonmoo 
Published: September 2024

AbstractUncovering fine‐grained phenotypes of live cell dynamics is pivotal for a comprehensive understanding of the heterogeneity in healthy and diseased biological processes. However, this endeavor poses significant technical challenges for unsupervised machine learning, requiring the extraction of features that not only faithfully preserve this heterogeneity but also effectively discriminate between established biological states, all while remaining interpretable. To tackle these challenges, a self‐training deep learning framework designed for fine‐grained and interpretable phenotyping is presented. This framework incorporates an unsupervised teacher model with interpretable features to facilitate feature learning in a student deep neural network (DNN). Significantly, an autoencoder‐based regularizer is designed to encourage the student DNN to maximize the heterogeneity associated with molecular perturbations. This method enables the acquisition of features with enhanced discriminatory power, while simultaneously preserving the heterogeneity associated with molecular perturbations. This study successfully delineated fine‐grained phenotypes within the heterogeneous protrusion dynamics of migrating epithelial cells, revealing specific responses to pharmacological perturbations. Remarkably, this framework adeptly captured a concise set of highly interpretable features uniquely linked to these fine‐grained phenotypes, each corresponding to specific temporal intervals crucial for their manifestation. This unique capability establishes it as a valuable tool for investigating diverse cellular dynamics and their heterogeneity.

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this study, we delved into innovative strategies to make neat E‐glass fabrics (NGFs) more impact‐ and tensile‐resistant by using shear‐thickening fluids (STFs). To achieve this goal, the polyethylene glycol (PEG) in STFs has been modified. Subsequently, the STF‐impregnated fabric composites were prepared from unmodified PEG and functionally modified PEGs using malonic and tartaric acids, V/S/GF, M/S/GF, and T/S/GF composites, respectively. Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was conducted to confirm the chemical modification of PEGs. The rheological tests showed a significant improvement in the peak viscosity of modified STFs compared with virgin STF. Dynamic rheological analysis also studied media‐particle interaction, revealing improved media‐particle interaction in STFs due to abundant H‐bonding. In addition, a series of experimental tests, namely compressive impact resistance and strip tensile strength tests, have been conducted to investigate the effect of STF modification on the NGF. The results revealed notable improvements in tensile strength and energy dissipation in the T/S/GF and M/S/GF composites compared with V/S/GF and NGF. Importantly, this improvement extended to the impact performance of single, triple, and quintuple layers. Notably, we found that the peak load of 5 T/S/GF was 37.71%, 18.57%, and 11.87% lower than that of 5NGF, 5 V/S/GF, and 5 M/S/GF, respectively. The idea that made these improvements possible came from PEG functionalization, which helps hydrogen bonds form between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium, leading to higher viscosity. This, in turn, increases inter‐yarn friction, effectively enhancing the spring‐like properties of T/S/GF and M/S/GF compared with V/S/GF. A two‐step artificial intelligence regression analysis underpinned these findings, elucidating the interplay of molecular mechanisms in high‐performance fabric composites.

Published: September 2024

AbstractFacial masks available in the market are primarily made of non‐woven fabric. To extend their shelf life, preservatives, and essences are added to their ingredients. However, this practice has a significant impact on the environment and human health. As a result, consumers nowadays prefer to choose “Clean Beauty” products for their skincare routines. Herein, electrospinning technology was used to prepare a novel Janus nanofiber membrane comprising Polylactic acid/Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PLA/PVP) and Chitosan/Gelatin (CS/GEL), loaded with Gastrodia elata polysaccharide (GEP) and melatonin (MT). The Janus nanofiber facial mask is a solid mask that provides excellent moisturizing, antioxidant, and biocompatibility benefits. It can dissolve quickly and be absorbed by the skin, while the hydrophobic fiber helps slow down the rapid evaporation of water in the mask. This, combined with the Janus structure, helps delay the loss of water and allows for quick penetration, resulting in a long‐lasting moisturizing effect. Therefore, the Janus nanofiber facial mask is an ideal choice for solid facial masks and provides technical support for its application in this field.
Enhanced piezoelectric and electrodeformation properties of PVDF films fabricated by roll to roll process
Authors: Zhang Chao 
Published: September 2024

Abstractβ‐phase poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) film boasts excellent electrical properties and can be used in sensors, micro actuation, and energy harvesting. In this paper, high β‐phase PVDF films were stretched by stretch‐line equipment (roll to roll) and the β‐phase content can reach 60%, realizing the potential for large‐scale fabrication. Moreover, the electrical and electrostrictive properties of PVDF films before and after stretching are compared. The stretched film (PVDF‐R film) has better piezoelectric properties and electrostrictive properties due to the formation of high β phase in the stretched film and the directional arrangement of PVDF molecular chains in the amorphous region (the formation of directional amorphous). Under the same driving electric field intensity (180 kV/mm), the electrostrictive deformation of PVDF film is 1.5 μm, while that of PVDF‐R film is 2 μm. The piezoelectric coefficient of the PVDF‐R films can reach 36 pC/N. The output voltage of the PVDF‐R film in finger press mode is studied and the peak position of the output voltage signal is obvious, which can be used for pulse monitoring.

Published: September 2024

AbstractOriented polyacrylonitrile (PAN) films were prepared and treated with hot stretching method to obtain higher degree of orientation. The PAN fiber membrane was infiltrated with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to prepare oriented PAN membrane reinforced TPU composite membrane. The tensile properties of the composite material were studied, and the tensile strength, modulus, and toughness all increased with the increase of orientation. The interfacial miscibility between the matrix and nanofibers was observed using Raman spectroscopy, and morphology, properties, and reinforcement mechanism of the composite material were analyzed combining scanning electron microscopy technique. The results indicate as the orientation increases, the compatibility between the matrix and fibers improves, and the mechanical properties of the composite material also improved.

Published: September 2024

AbstractMizolastine is an antihistamine drug that is commonly used for treatment of chronic urticaria and allergic rhinitis. In this study, a facile, rapid, and sustainable fluorimetric method was established for the estimation of mizolastine in pharmaceutical and biological matrices for the first time. The approach methodology relied on the direct assessment of mizolastine's intrinsic fluorescence at 313 nm after excitation at 272 nm. This intrinsic fluorescence, stemming from the benzimidazole fluorophore moiety in mizolastine structure, serves as a distinctive marker for its precise quantification in the spiked human plasma and pharmaceutical formulations with high %recovery. The method exhibits reasonable sensitivity with lower limits of detection and quantification of 5.4 and 16.6 ng mL−1, respectively, across a concentration range of 25.0–2000.0 and 50–1000 ng mL−1 for the standard mizolastine analysis and mizolastine assay in the plasma sample, respectively. Moreover, the established method was applied to assess tablet content uniformity and mizolastine assay in plasma samples with high recoveries (98.50%–100.20%). Such applications underscore the method's potential applicability within quality control laboratories, preventing the need for sample preparation or laborious extraction steps. Finally, the method's sustainability and practicality were confirmed by applying different greenness and whiteness metrics, yielding excellent results.

Published: September 2024

AbstractTyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have revolutionized Philadelphia chromosome‐positive (Ph+) acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treatment. The combination of blinatumomab and a TKI in the frontline setting has shown the safety and efficacy of the chemotherapy‐free treatment approach in patients with Ph + ALL. This retrospective analysis included 19 patients with Ph + ALL and Ph‐like ALL treated with the combination of blinatumomab and a TKI. Of the 14 newly diagnosed patients, the overall response, complete remission (CR), and molecular response (CMR) rates after one cycle of blinatumomab were 100% (10/10), 90% (9/10), and 57% (8/14), respectively. Of the five relapsed patients, the CR and CMR rates were 50% (2/4) and 40% (2/5). Blinatumomab in combination with TKIs is safe and effective and hence this combination therapy could be a viable therapeutic option in front‐line treatment of patients with Ph + ALL.

Published: September 2024

AbstractBackgroundMost primary cutaneous melanomas have pathogenesis driven by ultraviolet exposure and genetic mutations, whereas acral lentiginous melanoma (ALM) and metastatic melanoma are much less, if at all, linked with the former. Thus, we evaluated both ultraviolet related and non‐ultraviolet related melanomas. Mutations in the MUC16 and TTN genes commonly occur concurrently in these melanoma patients, but their combined prognostic significance stratified by gender and cancer subtype remains unclear.MethodsThe cBioPortal database was queried for melanoma studies and returned 16 independent studies. Data from 2447 melanoma patients were utilized including those with ALM, cutaneous melanoma (CM), and melanoma of unknown primary (MUP). Patients were grouped based on the presence or absence of MUC16 and TTN mutations. Univariate Cox regression and Student's t‐tests were used to analyze hazard ratios and total mutation count comparisons, respectively.ResultsTTN mutations, either alone or concurrently with MUC16 mutations, significantly correlated with worse prognosis overall, in both genders, and in CM patients. ALM patients with both mutations had better prognoses than CM patients, while ALM patients with neither mutation had worse prognosis than CM patients. For MUP patients, only MUC16 mutations correlated with worse prognosis. ALM patients with neither MUC16 nor TTN mutations had significantly more total mutations than MUP patients, followed by CM patients.ConclusionTTN mutations are a potential marker of poor prognosis in melanoma, which is amplified in the presence of concurrent MUC16 mutations. ALM patients with neither gene mutations had worse prognosis, suggesting a protective effect of having both MUC16 and TTN mutations. Only MUC16 mutations conferred a worse prognosis for MUP patients. Comprehensive genetic profiling in melanoma patients may facilitate personalized treatment strategies to optimize patient outcomes.

Hepatocellular Interactions of Potential Nutraceuticals in the Management of Inflammatory NAFLD
Authors: Ezhilarasan Devaraj , Langeswaran Kulanthaivel 
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACTNumerous studies highlight the potential of natural antioxidants, such as those found in foods and plants, to prevent or treat nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Inflammation is a key factor in the progression from high‐fat diet‐induced NAFLD to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Injured liver cells and immune cells release inflammatory cytokines, activating hepatic stellate cells. These cells acquire a profibrogenic phenotype, leading to extracellular matrix accumulation and fibrosis. Persistent fibrosis can progress to cirrhosis. Fatty infiltration, oxidative stress, and inflammation exacerbate fatty liver diseases. Thus, many plant‐derived antioxidants, like silymarin, silibinin, curcumin, resveratrol, berberine, and quercetin, have been extensively studied in experimental models and clinical patients with NAFLD. Experimentally, these compounds have shown beneficial effects in reducing lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers by modulating the ERK, NF‐κB, AMPKα, and PPARγ pathways. They also help decrease metabolic endotoxemia, intestinal permeability, and gut inflammation. Clinically, silymarin and silibinin have been found to reduce transaminase levels, while resveratrol and curcumin help alleviate inflammation in NAFLD patients. However, these phytocompounds exhibit poor water solubility, leading to low oral bioavailability and hindering their biological efficacy. Additionally, inconclusive clinical results highlight the need for further trials with larger populations, longer durations, and standardized protocols.
Rationalizing the catalytic surface area of oxygen vacancy‐enriched layered perovskite LaSrCrO4 nanowires on oxygen electrocatalyst for enhanced performance of Li–O2 batteries

Published: September 2024

AbstractEfficient electrocatalysis at the cathode is crucial to addressing the limited stability and low rate capability of Li−O2 batteries. This study examines the kinetic behavior of Li−O2 batteries utilizing layered perovskite LaSrCrO4 nanowires (NWs) composed of lower oxidation states. Layered perovskite LaSrCrO4 NWs exhibited improved rate capability over a wide range of current densities and longer cycle life in Li−O2 batteries than V‐based layered perovskite (LaSrVO4) and simple perovskite (La0.8Sr0.2CrO3) NWs. X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical surface area analyses showed that the observed performance variations primarily stemmed from active sites such as oxygen vacancies. In situ Raman analysis showed that these active sites significantly modulate the kinetics of oxygen reduction and evolution, which are related to LiO2 intermediate adsorption. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the active sites in layered perovskite LaSrCrO4 NWs contributed to their high charge transfer capability and reduced polarization. This study presents an appealing method for the precise fabrication and analysis of Cr‐based layered perovskites, aimed at achieving highly efficient and stable bifunctional oxygen electrocatalysis.
