Jouir ailleurs et autrement
Authors: Giard Agnès , Grimaud Emmanuel , Taylor Anne-Christine 
Published: May 2017

Partant du statut accordé à la jouissance sexuelle dans les sociétés occidentales, cet article a pour objectif de prendre un peu de hauteur par rapport à l’« orgasmolâtrie » moderne et à sa critique. En s’intéressant aux choix opérés dans d’autres mondes culturels, faisant place aussi bien aux conceptions des Indiens d’Amazonie qu’aux dernières inventions japonaises en matière de sextoys ou aux débats suscités par le cybersexe, il envisage de nouvelles clés de lecture sur une thématique qui a déjà fait l’objet d’une abondante littérature. L’objectif est d’ouvrir des pistes de réflexion sur le statut varié accordé à l’expérience de l’orgasme : que doit-on entendre exactement par là et est-il partout envisagé sous les formes que nous lui connaissons ? Lorsqu’on choisit de le cultiver comme moment sensible du rapport entre les vivants, quels types de connexions socio-cosmologiques se trouvent alors développées ?
Sharing knowledge, sharing words
Authors: Berner S. 
Published: May 2017

Translators might tell you that they know of knowledge management (KM) as a term they translate – but many of them are doing precisely that on any of the kudos boards, e-cafes or blogging spaces, not just occasionally, but almost on a daily basis. Yet just over 50% of translators polled on the question are consciously aware that they are engaging in KM, and over 30% of those polled did not know what 'knowledge management' meant.
Towards Usable E-Health
Authors: Sousa Vanessa , Lopez Karen Dunn 
Published: May 2017

SummaryBackground: The use of e-health can lead to several positive outcomes. However, the potential for e-health to improve healthcare is partially dependent on its ease of use. In order to determine the usability for any technology, rigorously developed and appropriate measures must be chosen.Objectives: To identify psychometrically tested questionnaires that measure usability of e-health tools, and to appraise their generalizability, attributes coverage, and quality.Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies that measured usability of e-health tools using four databases (Scopus, PubMed, CINAHL, and HAPI). Non-primary research, studies that did not report measures, studies with children or people with cognitive limitations, and studies about assistive devices or medical equipment were systematically excluded. Two authors independently extracted information including: questionnaire name, number of questions, scoring method, item generation, and psychometrics using a data extraction tool with pre-established categories and a quality appraisal scoring table.Results: Using a broad search strategy, 5,558 potentially relevant papers were identified. After removing duplicates and applying exclusion criteria, 35 articles remained that used 15 unique questionnaires. From the 15 questionnaires, only 5 were general enough to be used across studies. Usability attributes covered by the questionnaires were: learnability (15), efficiency (12), and satisfaction (11). Memorability (1) was the least covered attribute. Quality appraisal showed that face/content (14) and construct (7) validity were the most frequent types of validity assessed. All questionnaires reported reliability measurement. Some questionnaires scored low in the quality appraisal for the following reasons: limited validity testing (7), small sample size (3), no reporting of user centeredness (9) or feasibility estimates of time, effort, and expense (7).Conclusions: Existing questionnaires provide a foundation for research on e-health usability. However, future research is needed to broaden the coverage of the usability attributes and psychometric properties of the available questionnaires.Citation: Sousa VEC, Lopez KD.

Ecohydrological optimality in the Northeast China Transect

Published: May 2017

Abstract. The Northeast China Transect (NECT) is one of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP) terrestrial transects, where there is a significant precipitation gradient from east to west, as well as a vegetation transition of forest–grassland–desert. It is remarkable to understand vegetation distribution and dynamics under climate change in this transect. We take canopy cover (M), derived from Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), as an index to describe the properties of vegetation distribution and dynamics in the NECT. In Eagleson's ecohydrological optimality theory, the optimal canopy cover (M*) is determined by the trade-off between water supply depending on water balance and water demand depending on canopy transpiration. We apply Eagleson's ecohydrological optimality method in the NECT based on data from 2000 to 2013 to get M*, which is compared with M from NDVI to further discuss the sensitivity of M* to vegetation properties and climate factors. The result indicates that the average M* fits the actual M well (for forest, M*  =  0.822 while M  =  0.826; for grassland, M*  =  0.353 while M  =  0.352; the correlation coefficient between M and M* is 0.81). Results of water balance also match the field-measured data in the references. The sensitivity analyses show that M* decreases with the increase of leaf area index (LAI), stem fraction and temperature, while it increases with the increase of leaf angle and precipitation amount. Eagleson's ecohydrological optimality method offers a quantitative way to understand the impacts of climate change on canopy cover and provides guidelines for ecorestoration projects.
Personality Traits of Minority Arab Teachers in the Arab Educational System in Israel

Published: May 2017

AbstractThe present research examined the personality traits prevalent among Arab teachers as a minority in the Arab educational system in Israel.Research on personality traits has much significance in the prediction of human behavior in various situations. Personality traits affect a person's behavior. Usually personality traits do not change, and they are reflected in a person's behavior in various situations.Teaching, like any other profession, requires specific traits, skills and personal abilities, a basis of extensive, professional knowledge and the appropriate perceptions and thinking. Teachers' personality traits play an important role in their work. Research has shown that there are correlations between people's personality traits and their behavior in various situations. A number of researchers state that thinking styles constitute a central aspect of one's personality, whereas other researchers claim that personality traits and thinking styles overlap somewhat, but that each of them provides a unique contribution, with clear structures characterizing them. Research has shown that personality traits explain a high percentage of the diversity in thinking styles. Additional research has shown that personality traits explain the variations in thinking styles in higher percentages.Personality traits among Arab teachers as members of a national minority in Israel have not attained research attention up to now, despite this society undergoing rapid processes of change in social, economic, political, cultural and family spheres. In light of this, it is vitally important to study the subject and examine what personality traits are prevalent among Arab teachers as a minority in the Arab educational system in Israel.185 teachers from the Arab minority participated in this research. The teachers responded to a questionnaire on personality traits, where research questions made use of theoretical statistics with the statistical analysis program SPSS.The principle research findings revealed that the personality traits prevalent among Arab teachers in the Arab educational system in Israel are: extraversion, agreeableness and conscientiousness; despite this, traits of openness and emotional stability were less prevalent among them. Key words: personality traits, Arab teachers, Arab educational system in Israel.
Feasibility of and Rationale for the Collection of Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery Quality of Care Metrics
Authors: Miller Anna N. , Kozar Rosemary , Wolinsky Philip 
Published: May 2017

Introduction:
Reproducible metrics are needed to evaluate the delivery of orthopaedic trauma care, national care, norms, and outliers. The American College of Surgeons (ACS) is uniquely positioned to collect and evaluate the data needed to evaluate orthopaedic trauma care via the Committee on Trauma and the Trauma Quality Improvement Project.

Methods:
We evaluated the first quality metrics the ACS has collected for orthopaedic trauma surgery to determine whether these metrics can be appropriately collected with accuracy and completeness. The metrics include the time to administration of the first dose of antibiotics for open fractures, the time to surgical irrigation and débridement of open tibial fractures, and the percentage of patients who undergo stabilization of femoral fractures at trauma centers nationwide. These metrics were analyzed to evaluate for variances in the delivery of orthopaedic care across the country.

Results:
The data showed wide variances for all metrics, and many centers had incomplete ability to collect the orthopaedic trauma care metrics. There was a large variability in the results of the metrics collected among different trauma center levels, as well as among centers of a particular level.

Discussion:
The ACS has successfully begun tracking orthopaedic trauma care performance measures, which will help inform reevaluation of the goals and continued work on data collection and improvement of patient care. Future areas of research may link these performance measures with patient outcomes, such as long-term tracking, to assess nonunion and function. This information can provide insight into center performance and its effect on patient outcomes.

Conclusions:
The ACS was able to successfully collect and evaluate the data for three metrics used to assess the quality of orthopaedic trauma care. However, additional research is needed to determine whether these metrics are suitable for evaluating orthopaedic trauma care and cutoff values for each metric.

Les enfants sont victimes de la misanthropie de leurs parents mais les petits enfants eux-mêmes peuvent-ils haïr généralement leur espèce ? L’hypothèse d’une misanthropie infantile semble recevable quand on la confronte à 1984 de G. Orwell. Quels sont ses fondements et modalités ?
Terreur étatique et espace privé : la maison familiale, le lieu de travail et les déplacements interdits dans Sciences morales et L’Intempérie
Authors: Lombardo Martín 
Published: May 2017

En tant qu’expérience reliée à la terre, la terreur définit un espace, en même temps qu’elle détermine ou empêche un déplacement. Dans cet article, nous analysons deux types d’expériences de la terreur étatique : dans un premier temps, l’expérience de la terreur pendant la dictature militaire argentine (1976-1983) ; puis dans un deuxième temps, celle produite par la crise économique, politique et institutionnelle qui a éclaté en Argentine en décembre 2001. Nous nous interrogeons sur la manière dont deux textes littéraires représentent la terreur dictatoriale et la terreur de la crise institutionnelle afin de repérer les points communs et les différences. Nous analysons les espaces privés (la maison familiale et le lieu de travail) et la manière dont ils sont définis par la terreur. Enfin, nous tentons d’identifier les déplacements interdits ou rendus possibles par cette expérience. Nous centrons notre analyse sur les romans L’Intempérie (Éditions Payot & Rivages, 2007 [2005]) de Pedro Mairal, qui fait allusion à la crise de 2001, et Sciences morales (Éditions du Seuil, 2010 [2007]) de Martín Kohan, où la période dictatoriale est abordée. Quant au cadre théorique, nous utilisons les concepts d’état d’exception, de guerre civile et d’anomie développés par Giorgio Agamben dans ses oeuvres consacrées à l’homo sacer.
La justification paradoxale du terrorisme dans l’imaginaire romanesque : le cas de
Doris Lessing
Authors: Boucher François-Emmanuël 
Published: May 2017

La question incontournable qui préside aux études sur le terrorisme est celle de
savoir comment et pourquoi un être humain en vient à considérer nécessaire, essentiel, pour
ne pas dire acceptable, des actions extrêmes, dont les conséquences irréversibles sont, par
la nature même des actes en question, sanguinaires et destructrices. Répondre à cette
question ne va évidemment pas de soi. Le terrorisme est un phénomène polymorphe, dont
l’imprécision du terme même est lourdement polémique, sans négliger le fait qu’il revêt des
formes multiples autant dans la longue durée que dans des contextes différents à une même
époque déterminée. Même si aucun modèle explicatif ne semble apte à rendre compte de la
diversité du phénomène, il reste que la question de savoir comment on en arrive là, comment
on se convertit à la terreur, demeure pertinente. La Terroriste (paru sous le titre
The Good Terrorist en 1985) de Doris Lessing met justement en scène les actions
d’une terroriste de manière à montrer non la vérité du terrorisme en lui-même, mais les
croyances d’un personnage en lien avec des agissements précis. Comment l’auteure
parvient-elle à justifier de manière convaincante, aux yeux du lecteur mais aussi aux yeux
des autres personnages à l’intérieur du récit, non pas tant des actions qui produisent la
destruction mais le cheminement qui préside à son exercice ? La question sur laquelle repose
mon analyse est la suivante : comment la fiction arrive-t-elle à rendre vraisemblable une
telle pratique de la terreur ?
Fluidité générique dans Tomates de Nathalie Quintane : poésie, roman, essai
littéraire
Authors: Proulx Gabriel 
Published: May 2017

Entre poésie, roman et essai littéraire, Tomates de Nathalie Quintane est
inclassable. L’auteure substitue aux typologies génériques traditionnelles une définition
flexible et originale des genres, ce qui permet à son écriture de se libérer des contraintes
normalement associées à ces derniers. Cette expérimentation générique et formelle est
couplée à une réflexion complexe sur les survivances du fascisme et ses manifestations dans
la vie quotidienne, réflexion qui dépasse la naïveté initiale de l’oeuvre. La forme hybridée
et fluide du texte se présente par conséquent comme la réponse (artistique) au problème
(politique) que pose Quintane : comment résister aux contraintes imposées par l’État pour
limiter les droits des classes sociales dominées, d’une part, et d’autre part, aux
contraintes formelles, linguistiques et stylistiques qui pèsent sur l’artiste ?
A survey of fishes associated with Hawaiian deep-water Halimeda kanaloana (Bryopsidales: Halimedaceae) and Avrainvillea sp. (Bryopsidales: Udoteaceae) meadows
Authors: Langston Ross C. , Spalding Heather L. 
Published: May 2017

The invasive macroalgal species Avrainvillea sp. and native species Halimeda kanaloana form expansive meadows that extend to depths of 80 m or more in the waters off of O‘ahu and Maui, respectively. Despite their wide depth distribution, comparatively little is known about the biota associated with these macroalgal species. Our primary goals were to provide baseline information on the fish fauna associated with these deep-water macroalgal meadows and to compare the abundance and diversity of fishes between the meadow interior and sandy perimeters. Because both species form structurally complex three-dimensional canopies, we hypothesized that they would support a greater abundance and diversity of fishes when compared to surrounding sandy areas. We surveyed the fish fauna associated with these meadows using visual surveys and collections made with clove-oil anesthetic. Using these techniques, we recorded a total of 49 species from 25 families for H. kanaloana meadows and surrounding sandy areas, and 28 species from 19 families for Avrainvillea sp. habitats. Percent endemism was 28.6% and 10.7%, respectively. Wrasses (Family Labridae) were the most speciose taxon in both habitats (11 and six species, respectively), followed by gobies for H. kanaloana (six species). The wrasse Oxycheilinus bimaculatus and cardinalfish Apogonichthys perdix were the most frequently-occurring species within the H. kanaloana and Avrainvillea canopies, respectively. Obligate herbivores and food-fish species were rare in both habitats. Surprisingly, the density and abundance of small epibenthic fishes were greater in open sand than in the meadow canopy. In addition, species richness was also higher in open sand for Avrainvillea sp. We hypothesize that the dense holdfasts and rhizoids present within the meadow canopy may impede benthic-dwelling or bioturbator species, which accounted for 86% and 57% of individuals collected in sand adjacent to H. kanaloana and Avrainvillea sp. habitats, respectively. Of the 65 unique species recorded in this study, 16 (25%) were detected in clove oil stations alone, illustrating the utility of clove-oil anesthetic in assessing the diversity and abundance of small-bodied epibenthic fishes.
Phenol‐Catalyzed Discharge in the Aprotic Lithium‐Oxygen Battery

Published: May 2017

AbstractDischarge in the lithium‐O2 battery is known to occur either by a solution mechanism, which enables high capacity and rates, or a surface mechanism, which passivates the electrode surface and limits performance. The development of strategies to promote solution‐phase discharge in stable electrolyte solutions is a central challenge for development of the lithium‐O2 battery. Here we show that the introduction of the protic additive phenol to ethers can promote a solution‐phase discharge mechanism. Phenol acts as a phase‐transfer catalyst, dissolving the product Li2O2, avoiding electrode passivation and forming large particles of Li2O2 product—vital requirements for high performance. As a result, we demonstrate capacities of over 9 mAh cm−2areal, which is a 35‐fold increase in capacity compared to without phenol. We show that the critical requirement is the strength of the conjugate base such that an equilibrium exists between protonation of the base and protonation of Li2O2.
Atomic force microscopy studies of bioprocess engineering surfaces – imaging, interactions and mechanical properties mediating bacterial adhesion
Authors: James Sean A. , Hilal Nidal , Wright Chris J. 
Published: May 2017

AbstractThe detrimental effect of bacterial biofilms on process engineering surfaces is well documented. Thus, interest in the early stages of bacterial biofilm formation; in particular bacterial adhesion and the production of anti‐fouling coatings has grown exponentially as a field. During this time, Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as a critical tool for the evaluation of bacterial adhesion. Due to its versatility AFM offers not only insight into the topographical landscape and mechanical properties of the engineering surfaces, but elucidates, through direct quantification the topographical and biomechnical properties of the foulants The aim of this review is to collate the current research on bacterial adhesion, both theoretical and practical, and outline how AFM as a technique is uniquely equipped to provide further insight into the nanoscale world at the bioprocess engineering surface.

Authors: Bondi J , Avdagic J , Karlbom U , Hallböök O , Kalman D , Šaltytė Benth J , Naimy N , Øresland T 
Published: May 2017

Abstract

Background
The role of a collagen plug for treating anal fistula is not well established. A randomized prospective multicentre non-inferiority study of surgical treatment of trans-sphincteric cryptogenic fistulas was undertaken, comparing the anal fistula plug with the mucosal advancement flap with regard to fistula recurrence rate and functional outcome.

Methods
Patients with an anal fistula were evaluated for eligibility in three centres, and randomized to either mucosal advancement flap surgery or collagen plug, with clinical follow-up at 3 and 12 months. The primary outcome was the fistula recurrence rate. Anal pain (visual analogue scale), anal incontinence (St Mark's score) and quality of life (Short Form 36 questionnaire) were also reported.

Results
Ninety-four patients were included; 48 were allocated to the plug procedure and 46 to advancement flap surgery. The median follow-up was 12 (range 9–24) months. The recurrence rate at 12 months was 66 per cent (27 of 41 patients) in the plug group and 38 per cent (15 of 40) in the flap group (P = 0·006). Anal pain was reduced after operation in both groups. Anal incontinence did not change in the follow-up period. Patients reported an increased quality of life after 3 months. There were no differences between the groups with regard to pain, incontinence or quality of life.

Conclusion
There was a considerably higher recurrence rate after the anal fistula plug procedure than following advancement flap repair. Registration number: NCT01021774 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).
Validation of two prognostic models for recurrence and survival after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer
Authors: Bencivenga M , Verlato G , Han D-S , Marrelli D , Roviello F , Yang H-K , de Manzoni G 
Published: May 2017

Abstract

Background
Prognostic models from Korea and Italy have been developed that predict overall survival and cancer recurrence respectively after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer. The aim of this study was to validate the two models in independent patient cohorts, and to evaluate which factors may explain differences in prognosis between Korean and Italian patients with gastric cancer.

Methods
Patients who underwent radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer between January 2000 and December 2004 at Seoul National University Hospital and at eight centres in Italy were included. Discrimination of the models was tested with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calculation of area under the curve (AUC). Calibration was evaluated by plotting actual survival probability against predicted survival probability for the Korean nomogram, and actual against predicted risk of recurrence for the Italian score.

Results
Some 2867 and 940 patients from Korea and Italy respectively were included. The Korean nomogram achieved good discrimination in the Italian cohort (AUC 0·80, 95 per cent c.i. 0·77 to 0·83), and the Italian model performed well in the Korean cohort (AUC 0·87, 0·85 to 0·89). The Korean nomogram also achieved good calibration, but this was not seen for the Italian model. Multivariable analyses confirmed that Italian ethnicity was an independent risk factor for cancer recurrence (odds ratio (OR) 1·72, 1·31 to 2·25; P &lt; 0·001), but not for overall survival (OR 1·20, 0·95 to 1·53; P = 0·130).

Conclusion
Both prognostic models performed fairly well in independent patient cohorts. Differences in recurrence rates of gastric cancer may be partially explained by ethnicity.
Drug Eluting Stents for Very Long Lesions: Go Long, But Know the Risks
Authors: Beale Charles E. , Dawn Abbott J. 
Published: May 2017

Key Points

Long coronary artery lesions are increasingly treated with new technologies including current generation drug eluting stents (DES) despite a lack of robust data on outcomes.
In the current study, patients receiving Xience V DES for very long lesions (>35 mm) compared to lesions 25–35 mm had similar outcomes.
Future research should address late outcomes, stent thrombosis rates, as well as investigation of lesions greater than 60 mm.
