The Chantiers de la Jeunesse, General de la Porte du Theil, and the Myth of the Rescue of Jews in Vichy France
Authors: Lee Daniel 
Published: January 2015

The rescue of Jews in Vichy France continues to receive a great deal of attention. Recently, the justes, non-Jews who risked their lives to assist persecuted Jews, have become an important category of historical inquiry. With the justes arguably at the center of the nation’s collective memory of Vichy, a number of groups seeking to better their wartime image have rewritten their narratives to promote the rescue of Jews in their histories. Like the police and the Société Nationale des Chemins de Fer Français, former members of Vichy’s Chantiers de la Jeunesse represent one such organization. Even though some Jews were sheltered in the Chantiers de la Jeunesse, this article calls into question the account of the Chantiers’ leader, General de la Porte du Theil, and those of some of his disciples, who later claimed that they created an official policy for rescue. Such claims are symptomatic of a “myth of rescue,” an emerging trend that posits rescue as the norm for the French population’s relationship with the Jews during the Occupation.
Le sauvetage des Juifs sous le régime de Vichy continue à susciter beaucoup d’intérêt dans le milieu universitaire et ailleurs. Récemment, les justes, des non-juifs venus en aide aux Juifs persécutés, sont devenus un sujet d’étude essentiel à l’analyse historique de cette période, et sont aujourd’hui au cœur de la mémoire collective de Vichy. Influencées par cette tendance à glorifier les sauveurs non-juifs, certaines organisations ont récemment revisité leur histoire pour promouvoir le sauvetage des Juifs, et tout comme la police et la SNCF, les anciens des Chantiers de la Jeunesse sont un exemple de ce phénomène. Même si certains Juifs ont été hébergés dans des Chantiers de la Jeunesse, cet article remet en question l’argument du chef des Chantiers, le général de la Porte du Theil, et de certains de ses disciples, qui après la guerre ont prétendu avoir mis en place une politique officielle de « sauvetage ». Ce genre d’attitude n’est pas unique aux Chantiers et est symptomatique d’un « mythe du sauvetage » : une nouvelle tendance qui essaie de situer le sauvetage comme une réponse normale de la population française envers les Juifs pendant l’Occupation.
Accountability and delegation explained
Authors: Mullen Chris 
Published: January 2015

The focus of this paper is to provide an understanding of accountability and delegation in the context of the roles of healthcare assistants (HCAs) and assistant practitioners (APs). The RCN has produced a number of useful documents on accountability and delegation (2006, 2008, and 2011) for support workers, which are referred to in this article. The aim of the article is to provide the HCAs and the APs with: • An overview of the legal aspects of accountability and delegation • An understanding of what accountability means to all practitioners (both registered and unregistered) in everyday working practices • An understanding of the concept of ‘safe delegation’, the key principles of good practice for both the delegator and the person being delegated to • An overview of accountability and delegation responsibilities in relation to HCAs and APs.

Parents' choice of non-supine sleep position for newborns: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Wright Charlotte , Beard Hanna , Cox Jennifer , Scott Paula , Miller Joyce 
Published: January 2015

The objective of this study was to investigate the sleeping position of infants attending an outpatient clinic, considering the influences of the back to sleep (BTS) campaign. A paper survey was given to 678 parents who presented their infant (under 1 year of age) to the paediatric chiropractic clinic for care asking their infant's sleep position. Of the total survey sample, 50‥ of parents selected the supine position as the preferred position they placed the baby to sleep, 19‥ of parents preferred to place their babies prone, 34‥ on the babies side and 2‥ selected other. Some mothers selected more than one preferred sleeping position. The initial decline of mothers using non-supine positioning, seen shortly after the implementation of the BTS campaign, is no longer evident. Recent research implies approximately half of infants are now placed in a non-compliant sleeping position. If an infant’s most preferred sleeping position is not that of current guidelines, manual therapy such as chiropractic care should be sought to help infants sleep supine with comfort.
Recognizing the signs of acute appendicitis
Authors: Watkins Jean 
Published: January 2015

Acute appendicitis affects about 10% of the population. It presents itself most commonly between 10–20 years old. Prognosis is excellent for patients with a non-perforated appendix. It is therefore important that school nurses know the signs and symptoms of appendicitis to be able to make prompt and appropriate referrals. This article looks at the aetiology, presentation, differential diagnosis and complications of acute appendicitis.
Palliative care and support for people with neurodegenerative conditions and their carers
Authors: Kristjanson Linda J , Aoun Samar M , Oldham Lynn 
Published: January 2015

Aim: To identify and compare the needs for supportive care/ palliative care services of people in Australia with Motor Neuron Disease (MND), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Huntington's Disease (HD) and Parkinson's Disease (PD) and the needs of their carers. Design: National, descriptive survey of service use and support needs for 503 patients and 373 carers. Patients and carers were recruited from the databases of the disease associations in three Australian states. Patients were excluded if the patient had recently been diagnosed or were too sick or disabled to complete the survey. This was a specification of the ethics committee overseeing this project. Findings: The MND and HD groups had the greatest needs for support and appeared most receptive to a palliative approach. The MS group was least likely to have a carer and more likely to live alone. HD and PD groups had the highest rates of anxiety and HD groups had the highest rate of depression. Conclusions: Patients and carers who received more tailored services and more palliative care services were the most satisfied. Therefore, results highlight the need for tailored and flexible models of care for these groups with unique care requirements.
Perspectives of Asians living in Texas on pain management in the last days of life
Authors: Duke Gloria , Petersen Sandra 
Published: January 2015

Aim: The recognition that someone's ethnic identity does not necessarily predict their health-care beliefs and preferences, and lack of scientific evidence on this topic provide the fundamental justification for this study. The aim of this descriptive qualitative study was to determine the attitudes about and preferences for pain management in the last days of life for persons born in Japan, China and Vietnam living in Texas. Method: Personal interviews were conducted to elicit people's perspectives on pain management, such as open or indirect acknowledgement of pain and endurance of pain for clarity of consciousness. Results: Thematic analysis revealed three overarching themes for the Japanese group and five themes each for the Chinese and Vietnamese groups. Avoidance of stereotyping based on cultural background was a major finding of this study. Conclusion: Promoting quality of life in the last days of life is a priority for health professionals, and effective, individualised management of pain is of the utmost importance.
Caring for people with motor neurone disease
Authors: Hocking Clare , Paddy Ann , Brott Tamzin 
Published: January 2015

This interpretive study aimed to shed light on the experience of living with motor neurone disease (MND). Guided by phenomenological methodology, it involved semi-structured interviews with 4 women and 3 men diagnosed with MND, living in their own home in a major city in New Zealand. Three themes emerged; the wobbly body, doing and being, and changed world — changed future. The themes reveal the impact of living with a body that cannot follow commands and is increasingly unreliable, of losing the capacity to engage in valued activities, and the complexity of receiving care from family members and health-care workers. Implications include the need to further support individual’s attempts to stay active, provide accurate and consistent information, minimize the number of health-care workers involved with individual clients, and to actively monitor whether care is delivered as contracted.
Quality of life in Parkinson's disease at a geriatric outpatient department in Sweden
Authors: Wressle Ewa , Bringer Birgitta , Granérus Ann-Kathrine 
Published: January 2015

This study examined the quality of life in 31 elderly, cognitive well-functioning non-depressed patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) attending an outpatient geriatric unit in Sweden. Quality of life was assessed by the Parkinson's disease questionnaire (PDQ-39). The participants had a mean age of 77 years and were in stage 1–3 of Parkinson's disease as classified by Hoehn and Yahr (1967). The results showed a significant association between disease severity and quality of life. The most common problems concerned mobility, also associated with increased age. Long duration of PD was associated with decreased mobility, communication and activities of daily living. This study shows that, even before reaching an advanced stage, PD affects quality of life, with increasing problems as the disease progresses. Health-care professionals need to focus on the patients' perception of quality of life and develop strategies for interventions that might improve daily life for the patients.
Surgical debridement alone does not adequately reduce planktonic bioburden in chronic lower extremity wounds
Authors: Schwartz J.A. , Goss S.G. , Facchin F. , Avdagic E. , Lantis J.C. 
Published: January 2015

Objective: It is commonly believed that sharp surgical debridement provides adequate bacteria control for local wound beds, despite limited supporting scientific evidence. We undertook a prospective study to evaluate the reduction in planktonic bacteria pre- and post-operative debridement in critically colonised wounds. Method: Twelve patients, corresponding to 14 wounds, underwent debridement with either hydrodebridement or sharp steel debridement with pulse irrigation. Wound quantitative tissue cultures were taken pre- and post-debridement. There was no significant difference in wound aetiology or surface area between the two groups. Results: TThe bacterial counts before debridement were 1×107 colony-forming units per gram (CFU/g) in the hydrodebridement group vs 1.4×107 CFU/g in the sharp debridement group; and 2.5×106 CFU/g (hydrodebridement) vs 7.5×105 CFU/g (sharp) after debridement (p=0.41). The total bacteria reduction was 7.5×106 CFU/g after hydrodebridement vs 1.3×107 CFU/g after sharp steel debridement (p=0.37). The mean percentage of bacteria killed from baseline was 75% by hydrodebridement and 93% killed by sharp debridement (p<0.05). Conclusion: Extensive operative debridement using either modality does not provide adequate immediate reduction in wound planktonic bioburden. However, all wounds appeared clinically appropriate for closure after debridement and postoperative antibacterial therapy. Postoperative antibacterial therapy may be imperative in cases of critically colonised wounds to achieve good outcomes.

Fluid therapy in adult cattle
Authors: Adams James 
Published: January 2015

Fluid therapy is a problem frequently addressed by practicing veterinarians when dealing with calves, but many are reluctant to address fluid imbalances properly in adult cattle. This is due to: having to restrain the animal; the volume needed to be administered; the time it takes to administer and monitor the animal post treatment; and perhaps the biggest determining factor which is cost.The most common causes of dehydration or shock, and their resulting metabolic and electrolyte derangements, differ between mature cattle and calves ( Roussel, 2014 ) with the majority of cows being alkalotic.The underlying cause needs to be identified and corrected, with fluid therapy often a key factor in aiding recovery. The practitioner must decide on volume deficit, type of fluid, and the volume and route the fluids are to be given if they are to correct circulatory collapse, electrolyte imbalances and base deficits.
Calcium Oxide Decomposed From Chicken’s and Goat’s Bones as Catalyst For Converting Discarded Cooking Oil to be Biodiesel
Authors: Lesbani Aldes , Susi Yosine , Verawaty Marieska , Mohadi Risfidian 
Published: January 2015

Thermal decomposition of calcium oxide from chicken’s (Gallus gallus domesticus) and goat’s (Capra Hircus Aegragus) bones was prepared at temperature variations of 400, 500, 800, 900, 1000, and 1100 oC respectively. X-ray diffractometer (XRD), FT-IR and SEM were used for calcium oxide characterization. XRD diffraction pattern of the bone’s after thermal decomposition at 1100oC has similarity to the XRD standard diffraction pattern from Joint Committee on Powder Diffraction Standard (JCPDS). Diffractions of 2q values being used are 34.2o, 37.3o, 58.3o, 64.1o, and 67.3 o. Ca-O presence in the samples was detected by FT-IR characterization at wavenumber of 354,90 cm-1. SEM profile show reducing size of bones after decomposition in both chicken’s and goat’s bones. Furthermore, the prepared calcium oxide was applied for biodiesel synthesis from discarded cooking oil through transesterification reaction. By applying the catalysts decomposed from chicken’s and goat’s bones, the biodiesel product showed characteristics as follows: biodiesel applied the chicken’s bone catalyst has fatty acid number of 0.56 mg/KOH, iod number of 22.41 g I2/100 g KOH, density of 0.88 g/cm3 and viscosity of 5.91 mm2/s, while biodiesel applied the goat’s bone catalyst has 0.56 mg/KOH, iod number of 21.57 g I2/100 g KOH, density of 0.88 g/cm3 and viscosity of 6.34 mm2/s. Those biodiesel’s characteristic values meet the National Standard of Indonesia (SNI) for biodiesel.
Scriptwriting as paradox and process: The complex case of Eric Rohmer
Authors: Handyside Fiona 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This article discusses the creative working processes of Eric Rohmer (1920–2010). It argues that his method, of working on film subjects for decades, and carefully preparing every aspect of his films, contrasts with a deliberately ‘amateur’ and improvisational approach, influenced to a certain extent by ethnographic film. Rohmer provides an unusual and fascinating case study, combining approaches to scriptwriting that are usually seen as diametrically opposed.

Technological Adoption in Health Care – The Role of Payment Systems
Authors: Barros Pedro Pita , Martinez-Giralt Xavier 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This paper examines the incentive to adopt a new technology resulting from common payment systems, namely mixed cost reimbursement and DRG reimbursement. Adoption is based on a cost–benefit criterion. We find that retrospective payment systems require a large enough patient benefit to yield adoption, while under DRG-linked payment, adoption may arise in the absence of patients benefits when the differential reimbursement for the old vs new technology is large enough. Also, mixed cost reimbursement leads to higher adoption under conditions on the differential reimbursement levels and patient benefits. In policy terms, mixed cost reimbursement system may be more effective than a DRG payment system to induce technology adoption. Our analysis also shows that current economic evaluation criteria for new technologies do not capture the different ways payment systems influence technology adoption. This gives a new dimension to the discussion of prospective vs retrospective payment systems of the last decades centered on the debate of quality vs cost containment.
Cluster-Based Multipolling Sequencing Algorithm for Collecting RFID Data in Wireless LANs
Authors: Choi Woo-Yong , Chatterjee Mainak 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
With the growing use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification), it is becoming important to devise ways to read RFID tags in real time. Access points (APs) of IEEE 802.11-based wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) are being integrated with RFID networks that can efficiently collect real-time RFID data. Several schemes, such as multipolling methods based on the dynamic search algorithm and random sequencing, have been proposed. However, as the number of RFID readers associated with an AP increases, it becomes difficult for the dynamic search algorithm to derive the multipolling sequence in real time. Though multipolling methods can eliminate the polling overhead, we still need to enhance the performance of the multipolling methods based on random sequencing. To that extent, we propose a real-time cluster-based multipolling sequencing algorithm that drastically eliminates more than 90% of the polling overhead, particularly so when the dynamic search algorithm fails to derive the multipolling sequence in real time.
Novel Compact Mushroom-Type EBG Structure for Electromagnetic Coupling Reduction of Microstrip Antenna array
Authors: Hu Lizhong , Wang Guangming , Liang Jiangang , Zhang Chenxin 
Published: January 2015

AbstractA novel compact electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) structure consisting of two turns complementary spiral resonator (CSR) and conventional mushroom EBG (CM-EBG) structure is introduced to suppress the mutual coupling in antenna arrays for multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) applications. Eigenmode calculation is used to investigate the proposed CSR-loaded mushroom-type EBG (MT-EBG), which proved to exhibit bandgap property and a miniaturization of 48.9% is realized compared with the CM-EBG. By inserting the proposed EBG structure between two E-plane coupled microstrip antennas, a mutual coupling reduction of 8.13 dB has been achieved numerically and experimentally. Moreover, the EBG-loaded antenna has better far-field radiation patterns compared with the reference antenna. Thus, this novel EBG structure with advantages of compactness and high decoupling efficiency opens an avenue to new types of antennas with super performances.
Stabilization, degradation, and dissolution behavior of Scots pine polysaccharides during polysulfide (K-PS) and polysulfide anthraquinone (K-PSAQ) pulping

Published: January 2015

AbstractThe behavior of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestrisL.) polysaccharides was studied during modified kraft pulping processes of wood meal by polysulfide (K-PS) and polysulfide anthraquinone (K-PSAQ) at the hydroxide ion concentrations of 0.50 and 1.55 M [OH-] with a high liquor-to-wood (L/W) ratio of 200. The high L/W ratio was selected for avoiding diffusion phenomena and to be able to focus on the chemistry of polysaccharides. A comparison with the kraft process reference at 160°C revealed a substantial increase in pulp yield (6–7% in K-PS pulping and 7.5–10.5% in K-PSAQ pulping) mainly attributed to galactoglucomannan (GGM) stabilization. Due to the rapid delignification rate at 1.55 M [OH-] concentration, the temperature could be lowered from 160°C to 130°C without a notable prolongation of cooking time. In K-PS pulping at 130°C, no additional GGM stability was observed compared to 160°C, whereas cellulose and arabinoxylan preservation was improved. In K-PSAQ pulping, GGM preservation was also significantly improved. At 130°C, pulp yield increase of approximately 8% in PS pulping and more than 11% in PSAQ pulping was observed. The amount of dissolved softwood hemicelluloses in black liquor was significantly increased at the higher [OH-] level and even further in the presence of PS and AQ. Simultaneously, the formation of hydroxy acids was decreased, indicating a significant stabilization of the dissolved polysaccharide fraction parallel to the pulp polysaccharides.
