Caractérisation minéralogique, chimique et spéciation des métaux lourds dans les boues de la station d'épuration de la ville de Marseille
Authors: Pierrisnard Françoise , Ambrosi Jean-Paul 
Published: June 2015

Characterization of sewage sludges of Marseille show the presence of dominant mineral phases: calcite and quartz, of traces: iron oxides and amorphous iron introduced by FeCl3 added to sludges and of organic matter. Speciation of heavy metals (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) in sludges show that carbonates, iron oxides and organic matter are retention phase of these metals and trap them during wastewater treatment.
La caractérisation des boues résiduaires urbaines de Marseille montre la présence de phases minérales dominantes : calcite et quartz, de phases en traces : oxydes de fer et fer amorphe provenant du coagulant (FeCl3) et de matières organiques. La spéciation des métaux lourds (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn) des boues montre que les carbonates, les oxydes de fer et la matière organique sont les phases porteuses de ces métaux et assurent leur piégeage au cours du traitement d'épuration.

The legislation introduced in 1982, prohibiting the use of tributyltin (TBT)-containing paints on vessels under 25 meters lengths, did not totally eliminate this biocide, toxic to aquatic life, in marine environment. TBT, preferably absorbed on finest particles in mud and sediments, is a potential source of contamination during civil engineering works such as dredgings. The results of an analytical study, realised during the dredging of the port of Audenge, has pointed out that the sludge treatment process, including both air oxidation and light exposure, minimizes organotin contents of the water effluent.
L'arrêté promulgué en 1982 interdisant l'utilisation du tributylétain (TBT) dans les peintures antisalissures pour les bateaux de moins de 25 mètres et les structures immergées n'a pas fait totalement disparaître du milieu marin ce biocide à haut risque pour le biotope. Durablement fixé aux vases et aux sédiments, il est susceptible d'être libéré dans l'eau au cours de travaux de génie civil, tels que les dragages. Les résultats d'une étude analytique effectuée au cours du dragage du port d’Audenge montrent que la technique employée, basée sur une oxydation et une exposition à la lumière des boues au moyen d'une série de bassins de décantation, permet de réaliser une décontamination efficace des rejets.
Déchet et imaginaire: Le paradigme du corps étranger toxique
Authors: Cochin Yann , Lhuilier Dominique 
Published: June 2015

Cette étude qualitative analyse, à travers les représentations individuelles et collectives du déchet et de la décharge, l'imaginaire associé à des objets. Ces associations éclairent les résistances à l'information et la dynamique de rejet, d'opposition que suscitent les projets d'implantation d'installation de traitement des déchets. Le dégagement des significations imaginaires du déchet-décharge suppose l'accès et le recours à l'action. Elle seule permet de ne plus se vivre comme exposé à la charge mortifère du déchet, de restaurer une position à la fois de sujet et d'acteur.
Through the individual and collective representations of waste and landfill, this qualitative study analyses the imagination linked to these two topics. The established links clarify the resistance to information and the dynamic of rejection as well as the opposition in reaction to projects of implantation and installation of waste treatment devices. Exposing the misunderstanding of the imagined signification of waste and landfill allows the possibility of action. Only such action provides the opportunity not to feel exposed to the menace of waste but to restore the position of the individual actor.
Connaissance et valorisation des composts par la procédure de qualification agronomique
Authors: Carre Christian , Fiori Eric , Opsomer Séverine 
Published: June 2015

Composting is a suitable treatment for the organic fraction of waste and provides an end-product to agriculture. However, as a consequence of the lack of informations, the environmental impact of composting is difficult to assess. Furthermore, the agronomic properties of a compost from urban waste are barely studied. This article proposes a procedure to assess all types of compost from waste. This procedure sets up the agronomic properties of compost as well as their environmental impact (in term of threshold). lt comprises two steps:- in laboratory, a set of tests to measure the agronomic effectiveness and the innocuousness towards vegetals;- on field, in situ tests to confirm the first results. This procedure has been implemented on 6 types of compost which represent the actual situation of composting in France: compost from MSW, compost of MSW after the separative collection of packaging, compost from biowaste, compost from green waste an sludge, compost from sludge and MSW. This procedure can be implemented on mature compost, before land application.
Le compostage des déchets permet de traiter la fraction organique tout en élaborant un produit valorisable en agriculture.Face au manque de données chiffrées et dans un contexte réglementaire évolutif, l'évaluation des risques pour le sol et les cultures est difficile.Par ailleurs, l'intérêt agronomique des composts issus de déchets fait l'objet de peu d'études.La procédure présentée dans cet article est adaptée aux composts de différents produits résiduaires. Elle a pour double objectif de démontrer l'intérêt agronomique tout en évaluant un seuil d'impact sur l'environnement.Cette procédure comprend deux phases : la première phase, en laboratoire, regroupe un ensemble d'essais mesurant l'efficacité agronomique et vérifiant l'innocuité vis-à-vis du végétal. La seconde phase consiste en des essais de plein champ dont l'objectif est de confirmer les résultats de la première phase.Cette procédure est en cours de validation sur 6 types de composts représentatifs du contexte français (compost d'ordures en mélange, compost d'ordures « grises », compost de fermentescibles, compost de déchets verts, compost de déchets verts + boues, compost d'OM + boues). Elle s'applique sur produit mûr, prêt à l'emploi, dans le cadre d'une utilisation en grande culture.

Published: June 2015

Crushing rocks give fillers which are not really used at the present time. This study deals with the crushing waste of brioverian schists. The idea developed here is the recycling by making insulating materials. The weight reduction has been made by two means: by the creation of cells by an air entraining agent and by the addition of wood aggregates. Several granulometric gradations have been studied. The analysis of mechanical strength have shown a possible development without a separation in granular classes.
Les fines résultant du concassage de roches massives sont actuellement peu exploitées. Ce travail concerne les résidus de concassage de schistes briovériens. L'idée développée est leur valorisation sous forme de matériaux isolants. L'allégement a été obtenu par création d'une structure cellulaire grâce à un entraîneur d'air et par addition de granulats de bois. Différentes distributions granulaires ont pu être étudiées. L'analyse des performances mécaniques montre la possibilité d'un développement de ces matériaux sans séparation granulométrique.
Causes of Fatal Accidents Involving Cranes in the Australian Construction Industry
Authors: Gharaie Ehsan , Lingard Helen , Cooke Tracy 
Published: June 2015

In ten years from 2004 to 2013, 359 workers died in the Australian construction industry because of work related causes. This paper investigates crane-related fatalities in order to find the upstream causation of such accidents. The National Coroners’ Information System (NCIS) database was searched to identify fatal accidents in the construction industry involving the use of a crane. The narrative description of the cases provided in the coroners’ findings and associated documents were content analysed to identify the contributing causal factors within the context of each case. The findings show that the most frequent crane-related accident types were those that were struck by load, and electrocution. The most prevalent immediate circumstance causes were layout of the site and restricted space. The two most commonly identified shaping factors were physical site constraints and design of construction process. Inadequate risk management system was identified as the main originating influence on the accidents. This paper demonstrates that a systemic causation model can provide considerable insight into how originating influences, shaping factors, and immediate circumstances combine to produce accidents. This information is extremely useful in informing the development of prevention strategies, particularly in the case of commonly occurring accident types.

Published: August 2024

AbstractGenome integration technology has markedly expedited the construction of cell factories. However, its application is currently limited by the inefficient integration of large DNA fragments. Here, we report a CRISPR/Cas9 based integration of large DNA fragments (CILF) method to efficiently integrate large DNA fragments in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this approach, a fusion protein, Cas9‐Brex27‐FadR, was employed for the targeted delivery of donor plasmid to double‐strand breaks (DSBs), while simultaneously recruiting Rad51 to enhance the efficiency of homologous recombination (HR). Our findings demonstrate that this method can achieve an integration efficiency of 98% for 10 kb DNA fragments and nearly 80% for 40 kb DNA fragments at a single site, using donor plasmids with 1000 bp homology arms (HAs) and 12 FadR binding sites (BSs). The CILF technique significantly enriches the synthetic biology toolbox of S. cerevisiae, offering significant potential to propel advancements in both synthetic biology and metabolic engineering.
Critical success factors for linking digital technologies and circular supply chains
Authors: Dwivedi Ashish , Ganguly Anirban , Paul Sanjoy Kumar 
Published: August 2024

AbstractCircular supply chains (CSCs) refer to the process of collecting used products from consumers and repurposing them through remanufacturing, recycling, renovation, and repair. Digital technologies have the potential to perform a crucial role in enhancing these processes and achieving sustainable development goals (SDGs). Therefore, exploring the factors that link digital technologies and CSCs is essential. This study identifies and analyzes the critical success factors (CSFs) associated with integrating digital technologies in CSCs. The study utilized a grey Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to identify and analyze CSFs. The initial set of CSFs was derived from existing literature and further refined based on expert opinions. The findings from the study reflect that the top five CSFs for linking digital technologies and CSCs were identified as the organizational commitment toward digitization, adoption of modern technologies, support from top administration toward digitization, adoption of contemporary business models, and data‐driven modernization toward CSCs. The study also revealed that out of the 24 identified CSFs, 11 were associated with the “causal group” while the remaining 13 were associated with the “effect group.” The integration of digital technologies in CSCs has been found to significantly enhance organizational effectiveness. However, there is a paucity of studies analyzing CSFs for linking digital technologies and CSCs. This study fills this research gap and contributes to the frame of knowledge in the domain of CSCs.
New way to shaping India's academic environment: An assessment of the mechanism of integration of education 4.0 to industry‐centric learning

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe world around us is evolving due to Industrial Revolution 4.0. This revolution is driving the present‐day education, that is, Education 3.0–creative education towards Education 4.0, that is, industry‐centric education. The present academic environment in India is in the process of developing an educational ecosystem, which will incorporate equal access to education for all stakeholders and promote critical thinking, digital literacy, global awareness and scientific reasoning to name a few. Accordingly, it has become prudent to develop and validate a mechanism for assessing the various steps being taken to realign students to Education 4.0. This study involved 300 undergraduate, postgraduate, and PhD students from eight different schools across diverse program and course outcomes, who were asked to respond to a questionnaire on their own accord. The Pearson product‐moment correlation test was used to statistically analyse the obtained responses. The test results showed that the questions were logical and valid, with a significance level of 0.0115. Furthermore, the reliability of the mechanism was also assessed using Cronbach's α score. This study indicated that three aspects—learning preferences, contribution of learning to knowledge, skills, and personal development, and time spent on learning and nonacademic activities—exhibited high reliability However, two aspects—the emphasis on mental functions and reading and writing—indicated to be of moderate reliability. Thus, it could be said that the questionnaire developed in this study was both reliable and valid for assessing the mechanism being undertaken to realign students to Education 4.0.
Role of osteokines in atherosclerosis
Authors: Liu Yi‐Fan , Tian Yuan , Chen Xiao‐Fang , Zhang Chi , Huang Liang 
Published: August 2024

AbstractDespite their diverse physiologies and roles, the heart, skeletal muscles, and smooth muscles all derive from a common embryonic source as bones. Moreover, bone tissue, skeletal and smooth muscles, and the heart share conserved signaling pathways. The maintenance of skeletal health is precisely regulated by osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts through coordinated secretion of bone‐derived factors known as osteokines. Increasing evidence suggests the involvement of osteokines in regulating atherosclerotic vascular disease. Therefore, this review aims to examine the evidence for the role of osteokines in atherosclerosis development and progression comprehensively. Specifically discussed are extensively studied osteokines in atherosclerosis such as osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, and fibroblast growth factor 23. Additionally, we highlighted the effects of exercise on modulating these key regulators derived from bone tissue metabolism. We believe that gaining an enhanced understanding of how osteocalcin contributes to the process of atherosclerosis will enable us to develop targeted and comprehensive therapeutic strategies against diseases associated with its progression.

Published: August 2024

AbstractBackgroundPredictors of permanent pacemaker implantation (PPMI) after self‐expanding transcatheter aortic valve implant (TAVI) were described. Is unknown if PPMI predictors remain in the era of high implants using the cusp overlap (COP).MethodsSingle‐center, prospective, consecutive case series of patients undergoing self‐expanding TAVI with the COP approach. The status of PPMI and other clinical events were ascertained at 30 days.ResultsA total of 261 patients were included (84% with Evolut, n = 219). Implant depth >4 mm was infrequent (13.8%). TAVI depth (OR 1.259; p = 0.005), first or second‐degree auriculo‐ventricular block (OR 3.406; p = 0.033), right‐bundle (OR 15.477; p < 0.0001), and incomplete left‐bundle branch block (OR 7.964; p = 0.036) were found to be independent predictors of PPMI. The risk of PPMI with deep implant and no electrical disturbances was 3%, and 0% with high implant and no prior electrical disturbances. Those who received PPMI had no statistically significant increased risk of death, myocardial infarction, stroke, bleeding events, or vascular complications at 30 days, but longer hospital stay (mean difference 1.43 days more, p = 0.003).ConclusionsImplant depth and prior conduction abnormalities remain the main predictors of PPMI using self‐expanding TAVI in the COP era. Patients with high implants and no prior conduction abnormalities may be candidates for early discharge after uneventful self‐expanding TAVI, while the rest may need inpatient monitoring regardless of achieving a high implant. The need for PPMI was associated with longer hospital stays.

Plain Language SummaryPoa annua is a troublesome weed in turfgrass areas such as golf courses, athletic fields, lawns, and sod farms. Controlling P. annua is made more difficult by the growing problem of herbicide resistance, the inherited ability of plants to survive herbicide applications that would normally be lethal. Researchers from 13 academic institutions collected 866 P. annua populations from different states and turfgrass systems to better understand the extent of this problem. Collections were divided and treated with four herbicides and one plant growth regulator. Plants were categorized as “susceptible” or “suspected resistant” based on their response to treatments. Suspected resistance (to at least one or more treatments) was observed in 16.8% of P. annua collections. Herbicide resistance in P. annua is a problem spanning different geographies and management practices. Therefore, coordinated research is needed to explore the scope and nature of the problem in a systematic way.

AbstractBackgroundAspirin and statins have been suggested to have potential chemopreventive effects against gastric cancer (GC), although the results of previous studies have been inconsistent. This study therefore aimed to investigate the association between the use of aspirin and statins and GC.MethodsA pooled analysis of seven case‐control studies within the Stomach Cancer Pooling Project, including 3220 cases and 9752 controls, was conducted. Two‐stage modeling analyses were used to estimate the association between aspirin and statin use and GC after adjusting for potential confounders.ResultsThe pooled odds ratio (OR) of GC for aspirin users versus nonusers was 0.72 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.54–0.95). The protective effect of aspirin appeared stronger in individuals without a GC family history (OR, 0.60; 95% CI, 0.37–0.95), albeit with borderline heterogeneity between those with and without a family history (p = .064). The OR of GC decreased with increasing duration of aspirin use, with an OR of 0.41 (95% CI, 0.18–0.95) for durations of ≥15 years. An inverse, nonsignificant association with the risk of GC was observed for the use of statins alone (OR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.52–1.18).ConclusionsThese findings suggest that aspirin use, particularly long‐term use, is associated with a reduced risk of GC, whereas a similar association was not observed with statins, possibly because of the low frequency of use.
