Comment faire des affaires avec des mots-choses : presse commerciale et performative (Progressive Grocer, 1929-1946)
Authors: Cochoy Franck 
Published: November 2010

Résumé Cet article propose d’étudier comment Progressive Grocer , une revue de la presse des affaires spécialisée dans l’épicerie, s’y prend pour replier les mots sur la pratique. Pour les épiciers de terrain, l’irruption de l’écrit dans leur pratique avant tout manuelle pose problème, et la mise à disposition d’un langage capable de « parler leurs gestes », d’exhiber les « choses » dont on leur parle sous forme de photographies, de dessins et d’illustrations, voire comme nous le verrons de « montrer leurs paroles » s’offre comme un moyen de surmonter cette difficulté.
Contre « Bolkestein »
Authors: Crespy Amandine 
Published: November 2010

Résumé Cet article démontre comment, en dépit d’un large consensus sur la nécessaire libéralisation des services, considérée comme la pierre angulaire de la Stratégie de Lisbonne, les détracteurs du projet ont pu obtenir un compromis atténuant de manière significative la portée dérégulatrice du texte. L’étude de la mobilisation des partis politiques de gauche, des syndicats et des altermondialistes d’Attac dans trois pays centraux dans le conflit (Allemagne, Belgique et France) ainsi qu’au niveau européen permet de mettre à jour deux séries de facteurs, institutionnels et discursifs, largement interdépendants. Tandis que les opposants au projet « Bolkestein » sont parvenus à européaniser le conflit, les discours stratégiques mettant l’accent sur l’idée d’Europe sociale, d’une part, et sur le lien entre citoyens et Parlement européen, de l’autre, ont largement déterminé l’issue du conflit sous la forme d’un compromis parlementaire.

Published: November 2010

Background The aim of this work was to study the ultrasonographic (USG) features of knee joints in relation to clinical and laboratory measures in patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), and also to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound in the diagnosis of local joint activity. Methods This study included 20 with JRA and 20 matched and apparently healthy controls. All patients were subjected to full history taking, careful clinical examination and laboratory investigation. The knee joints of all patients and control were examined with plain radiography and ultrasonography on the same day of clinical examination using ultrasound to detect synovial thickness and effusion at the knee. Results Mean USG knee synovial thickness was significantly greater in JRA patients versus controls (4.2 ± 2.4 mm versus 1.7 ± 0.3 mm, P < 0.001). Although knee effusion was not detected in any of the controls, it was demonstrated in 90% of JRA patients, with a mean effusion volume of 3.8 ± 3.1 mL. There was a statistically significant difference ( P < 0.001) between clinically active and inactive knees with regard to knee synovial thickness. Mean knee effusion volume was significantly ( P < 0.05) higher in the clinically active than in the clinically inactive knees. Patients with high disease activity had a significantly ( P < 0.05) higher knee synovial thickness and knee effusion volume than patients with low and moderate disease activity. Significantly ( P < 0.05) positive correlations were found between knee synovial thickness and articular index (AI) scores, disease activity score, clinical knee scores, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Significant positive correlations ( P < 0.05) were found between knee effusion volume and AI scores, visual analog scores, disease activity scores, clinical knee scores, ESR, and CRP levels. Significant negative correlations ( P < 0.05) were found between knee effusion volumes and hemoglobin levels. Conclusion UGS-detected parameters represent a reliable index of JRA disease activity with a higher sensitivity for knee synovial thickness and higher specificity for knee effusion.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
The production of polymer particles through suspension polymerization still attracts the attention of academia and industry, resulting in many papers and patents published every year about this theme. Suspension polymerization processes are extensively used because of their many competitive advantages, including the easy separation of the polymer particles, easy removal of the heat of reaction, easy temperature control, and low levels of impurities and additives in the final polymer resin. For this reason, such processes are suitable for production of polymer resins intended for many distinct applications, including biotechnological, medical, and dental applications. In this context, the main objective of the article is to discuss the fundamental aspects of suspension polymerization processes, focusing on the effects of the main process variables on the performance of suspension polymerizations and highlighting new suspension technologies, such as suspension polycondensations, controlled suspension reactions, and continuous operations.

Published: May 2024

Abstract
Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) are a polymer consisting of two or more polymer networks exhibiting a certain degree of molecular‐scale interlacing within the matrix but not covalently bonded. The network structure cannot be separated without breaking chemical bonds. This unique structure results in synergistic combinations of mechanical, thermal, chemical, and other properties. The synthesis of IPNs can be achieved through simultaneous or sequential polymerization processes, exploiting the compatibility of polymer precursors to establish an interlocking network. The wide‐ranging applications of IPNs across various sectors, including water filtration, electromagnetic interference shielding (8.2–12.4 GHz), biomaterials, coatings, adhesives, drug delivery, and electronics. The synthesis and formation of IPNs require an understanding of polymer chemistry, physics, and engineering principles. Tailoring IPNs for specific applications demands the careful design of polymer precursors and cross‐linking techniques. In recent times, ongoing research on IPN deals with synthetic methodologies, structure–property relationships, and its applications. On the other hand, IPNs serve as a bridge between conventional polymer materials and advanced multifunctional systems. This article provides a glimpse into the fascinating world of IPNs, stimulating further exploration and innovation in materials science and engineering. Within this framework, our discussions have involved various IPNs and their practical implementations in the field of water treatment and EMI shielding applications.

AbstractDeveloping highly effective transition metal‐based bifunctional electrocatalysts remains a tremendously challenging task for large‐scale overall water splitting. Herein, a multiheterostructured Mo‐doped Ni2P/FexP electrocatalyst on NiFe foam with P vacancy (denoted as Mo─Ni2P/FexP‐V/NFF) is developed to serve as an efficient dual‐pH electrocatalyst. Due to the synergistic effect of multiple strategies (heteroatom doping, heterointerface, and P vacancy), the Mo─Ni2P/FexP‐V/NFF possesses remarkable hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) catalytic activity in alkaline/acidic and excellent oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline media, along with encouraging durability. The mechanisms of improved electrocatalytic activity combining multicharacterizations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are elucidated. Specifically, X‐ray absorption fine structure experimental analysis confirms that the Mo doping can optimize the electronic structure of electrocatalyst. In situ Raman spectroscopy demonstrates that the evolved oxyhydroxides are the real active substances for the OER. DFT calculations reveal that the conductivity of as‐prepared samples can be enhanced through multiple strategy synergy. Moreover, in the HER process, multiple strategies can not only reduce the hydrogen binding energy to near zero but also enhance the H2O dissociation and *OH desorption. In the OER process, DFT calculations also verify that Mo doping and interface engineering can optimize the adsorption of the rate‐determining step, achieving the lowest theoretical overpotential.

AbstractFluorescence imaging (FLI)‐guided phototheranostics using emission from the second near‐infrared (NIR‐II) window show significant potential for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Clinical imaging‐used polymethine ionic indocyanine green (ICG) dye is widely adopted for NIR fluorescence imaging‐guided photothermal therapy (PTT) research due to its exceptional photophysical properties. However, ICG has limitations such as poor photostability, low photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE), short‐wavelength emission peak, and liver‐targeting issues, which restrict its wider use. In this study, two ionic ICG derivatives are transformed into neutral merocyanines (mCy) to achieve much‐enhanced performance for NIR‐II cancer phototheranostics. Initial designs of two ionic dyes show similar drawbacks as ICG in terms of poor photostability and low photothermal performance. One of the modified neutral molecules, mCy890, shows significantly improved stability, an emission peak over 1000 nm, and a high photothermal PCE of 51%, all considerably outperform ICG. In vivo studies demonstrate that nanoparticles of the mCy890 can effectively accumulate at the tumor sites for cancer photothermal therapy guided by NIR‐II fluorescence imaging. This research provides valuable insights into the development of neutral merocyanines for enhanced cancer phototheranostics.

AbstractNanomechanical resonators provide a versatile platform for nanoscale mass sensing and force microscopy, as well as for enhancing light‐matter interaction offering unique functionality for optomechanical applications. In this way, discovering new approaches for coupling light with the mechanical degrees of freedom opens the strong desire paths for further developing of nanomechanical technology. Here, the parametric optothermal modulation of hybrid nanomechanical systems consisting of carbon nanowire with a silicon nanoparticle on its top, is reported. The mechanism of the modulation is based on the periodic optical heating of the nanowire and further modulation of the elasticity parameters. Utilizing the silicon nanoparticle provides additional functionality owing to optical absorption enhanced with Mie resonance and the unique feature of optical Raman thermometry enabling optical monitoring of local temperature. It is shown that the parametric mechanism of modulation allows for a significant increase of the optomechanical coupling strength.

AbstractHolographic femtosecond laser printing technology is widely used in the fabrication of micropatterns because of its high efficiency and flexibility. However, speckle noise and energy fluctuations limit the quality of the printed structure. In this study, an improved complex‐amplitude modulation holographic femtosecond laser printing method for high‐quality micropattern fabrication is proposed. The holographic light field is divided into a signal area and a surrounding noise area. To improve laser uniformity, phase modulation is applied in the signal region to eliminate the speckle noise caused by unconstrained phase interference, and weighted amplitude modulation is introduced in the signal area to improve the calculation accuracy. To precisely control laser energy density, weighted energy efficiency modulation is introduced in the noise region to disperse the energy that exceeds the material damage threshold. Under the synergistic control of laser uniformity and energy density, high‐quality micro‐pattern structures are printed efficiently. A high‐quality millimeter‐sized multifocal zone plate with micron accuracy is fabricated with the splicing printing method, demonstrating the potential of micropattern processing and the fabrication of functional devices such as binary optics.

Published: May 2024

AbstractTransformation optics (TO) provides a powerful tool to manipulate electromagnetic waves, enabling the design of invisibility cloaks, which can render objects invisible. Despite many years of research, however, invisibility cloaks experimentally realized thus far can only operate at a single frequency. The narrow bandwidth significantly restricts the practical applications of invisibility cloaks and other TO devices. Here, a general design strategy is proposed to realize a multiband anisotropic metamaterial characterized by two principal permittivity components, i.e., one infinite and the other spatially gradient. Through a proper transformation and combination of such metamaterials, an omnidirectional invisibility cloak is experimentally implemented, which is impedance‐matched to free space at multiple frequencies. Both far‐field numerical simulations and near‐field experimental mappings confirm that this cloak can successfully suppress scattering from multiple large‐scale objects simultaneously at 5 and 10 GHz. The design strategy and corresponding practical realization bring multiband transformation optical devices one step closer to reality.
Beyond job‐search theory: A value pluralist approach to conditionality in Australian employment services
Authors: Casey Simone 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis article examines the contested impact of financial sanctions on Australian employment services, with government evaluation relying on job‐search theory to justify sanctions while research from sociological and psychological perspectives suggests they exacerbate labour market disadvantages and poverty. The division in perspectives reflects both methodological differences and ethical stances within scholarship. Welfare conditionality scholars propose value pluralism as an approach to reach consensus on shared policy goals across disciplines. This article engages in a simulation of the value plural approach to identify evidence gaps in the research and evaluation of sanctions and conditionality in employment services. The article identifies a research and evaluation agenda for conditionality policy, emphasising the importance of reaching a consensus to advance ethically robust policy.

Published: May 2024

AbstractA simple and sensitive LC–tandem mass spectrometry method was established and validated for the determination of schaftoside in rat plasma. After prepared by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, schaftoside and internal standard were separated on a Waters HSS T3 column using acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid and 0.1% formic acid in water as the mobile phase by gradient elution. The method showed excellent linearity over the range of 0.5–500 ng/mL with acceptable intra‐ and inter‐day precision, accuracy, matrix effect, and recovery. The stability assay indicated that schaftoside was stable during the sample acquisition, preparation, and storage. The method was applied to a pharmacokinetic study of schaftoside in rats. The result suggested that after intravenous administration at a dose of 1 mg/kg, schaftoside was quickly eliminated from the plasma with an elimination half‐life of 0.58 h. After oral administration at doses of 5, 10, and 20 mg/kg, schaftoside was quickly absorbed into the plasma and reached the peak concentration (Cmax) of 45.1–104.99 ng/mL at 0.67–1.17 h. The increase of exposure (area under the curve) was linear with the increase of dose. The oral bioavailability was 0.42%–0.71% in the range of 5–20 mg/kg.

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the efficacy of serplulimab plus chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients with liver metastases.MethodsA post hoc exploratory analysis of ASTRUM‐007 study was performed, focusing on the association between the liver metastases status and the clinical outcomes. A systematic literature search of electronic databases was conducted to identify eligible randomized controlled trials for the meta‐analysis. Study‐level pooled analyses of hazard ratios (HRs) for PFS according to liver metastases were performed.ResultsThe post hoc analysis of ASTRUM‐007 showed that although patients with liver metastases had a worse prognosis comparing with the non‐liver metastases patients in both treatment arms (serplulimab plus chemotherapy arm: median PFS, 5.7 vs. 6.6 months, HR 1.57 [95% CI, 1.15–2.13]; median OS, 13.7 vs. 15.3 months, HR 1.48 [95% CI, 1.09–1.98]; placebo plus chemotherapy arm: median PFS, 4.3 vs. 5.5 months, HR 1.58 [95% CI, 1.01–2.39]; median OS, 10.3 vs. 11.2 months, HR 1.32 [95% CI, 0.84–2.00]), OS and PFS benefits derived from serplulimab plus chemotherapy versus placebo plus chemotherapy in this study were observed in both patients with liver metastases (HR of PFS: 0.60; 95% CI, 0.37–0.97; HR of OS: 0.68; 95% CI, 0.43–1.11) and the non‐liver metastases patients (HR of PFS: 0.62; 95% CI, 0.49–0.80; HR of OS: 0.69; 95% CI, 0.55–0.87) with similar magnitude. Three randomized controlled trials were included in the meta‐analysis. Pooled HRs demonstrated that the addition of anti‐PD‐1 antibodies significantly improved PFS compared to chemotherapy alone regardless of liver metastases status.ConclusionsThis study reveals that the presence of liver metastases is a poor prognostic factor but does not affect the improvements in both PFS and OS brought by adding PD‐1 blockade to chemotherapy in ESCC patients. Predictive biomarkers for survival in these patients warrant further investigation.

AbstractBackgroundThis study aimed to establish the standardized procedure of trans‐areola single site endoscopic parathyroidectomy (TASSEP), and to compare the performance of TASSEP with that of conventional open parathyroidectomy (COP).MethodsThis study enrolled 40 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) who underwent TASSEP, and included 40 of 176 PHPT patients who underwent COP based on propensity score matching. The retrospective analysis was conducted based on prospectively collected data. Perioperative outcomes, including surgical profile, surgical burden and cosmetic results and follow‐up were reported. The learning curve was described using a cumulative sum (CUSUM) analysis.Results40 TASSEPs were completed successfully without conversions or severe complications. There was no statistically significant difference in operation time between TASSEP and COP groups (80.83 ± 11.95 vs. 76.95 ± 7.30 min, p = 0.084). Experience of 17 cases was necessitated to reach the learning curve of TASSEP. Postoperative pain score and traumatic index (C‐reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) in TASSEP were apparently lower than those in COP group (p < 0.05). During the proliferation and stabilization phases, TASSEP was associated with significantly better incision recovery and cosmetic scores. Postoperative serum calcium and PTH levels throughout the follow‐up period indicated satisfactory surgical qualities in both groups.ConclusionBased on precise preoperative localization and intraoperative planning facilitated by three‐dimensional (3D) virtual modeling, TASSEP can be feasibly performed on selected patients with satisfactory success rates and low complication rates, providing preferable cosmetic results and alleviating the surgical burden to a certain extent.
Does Harsh Parenting Really Harm? A Systematic Review of Studies in China
Authors: Zhang Yiran , Moon Deborah , Zhang Ketian , Yi Yuqing 
Published: May 2024

AbstractChina has a high prevalence of child maltreatment and a culture accepting of harsh parenting with no consensus regarding its adverse outcomes. The current study seeks to address this issue by synthesising the effects of harsh parenting on the socio‐emotional outcomes of Chinese children and youths through a systematic review of relevant literature. A systematic search was conducted to collect articles published from 1991 to 2021 based on the PRISMA guidelines. This study captured the bivariate relationships between harsh parenting and the socio‐emotional outcomes of children and youths between the ages of 6–17. Forty‐five studies met the inclusion criteria. Three domains of socio‐emotional outcomes, including internalising problems, externalising problems, and social outcomes were identified. Studies consistently reported evidence of the significant association between harsh parenting and various externalising problems. However, mixed results were found regarding the association between harsh parenting and internalising problems. No study examined the physical health outcomes. More research is needed to further clarify the relationship between harsh parenting and internalising problems as well as health outcomes.
