Précarité énergétique et résilience territoriale : les acteurs des territoires face aux enjeux organisationnels d’une question multidimensionnelle
Authors: Meillerand Marie-Clotilde , Nicolas Jean-Pierre , Gardon Sébastien 
Published: March 2023

Les fortes variations des prix de l’énergie depuis 20 ans ont précarisé certains ménages vulnérables du fait de leur revenu, d’un logement mal isolé ou de longs déplacements quotidiens contraints. Cette thématique de la précarité énergétique a ainsi progressivement émergé en tant qu’objet de l’action publique territoriale en se renforçant nettement avec le pic du prix du pétrole en 2008-2012. Comment les acteurs des territoires peuvent-ils s’organiser pour faire face à cet enjeu social de la transition énergétique ? Pour répondre à cette question, cet article rend compte d’une recherche menée auprès de trois territoires différenciés, actifs en matière de lutte contre la précarité énergétique liée au logement et à la mobilité. Il montre l’intensification progressive de l’action collective en la matière depuis les années 2000, tout en soulignant les limites d’une part des politiques sectorielles (action sociale, énergie, logement, transports…), et d’un autre côté des modes de financement et de régulation actuels qui rendent difficiles de mener des actions de long terme. Enfin, les observations sur les trois territoires témoignent des opportunités que peuvent offrir les évolutions institutionnelles en cours depuis une dizaine d’années (intercommunalité et métropolisation).
Traverser le « quatrième mur ». Bocage, citoyen comédien
Authors: Bara Olivier 
Published: March 2023

Figure majeure du théâtre romantique français, l’acteur Bocage incarne la conception romantique de l’artiste, doté d’une vocation morale ou sociale régénératrice. Il illustre à sa manière une pratique politique des relations entre scène et salle au cours de la représentation théâtrale. Il traverse parfois le « quatrième mur » par le dialogue noué avec le public, plus souvent par l’art de suggérer de possibles applications politiques de la fiction jouée au monde contemporain. Franchir le « quatrième mur » n’est toutefois pas sans risque pour le comédien à une époque de surveillance policière des théâtres.

Background
We previously showed that higher SARS-CoV-2 viral load correlated with smaller thyroid volumes among COVID-19 survivors at 2 months after acute COVID-19. Our current follow-up study evaluated the evolution of thyroid volumes and thyroiditis features within the same group of patients 6 months later.

Methods
Adult COVID-19 survivors who underwent thyroid ultrasonography 2 months after infection (USG1) were recruited for follow-up USG 6 months later (USG2). The primary outcome was the change in thyroid volume. We also reassessed thyroiditis features on USG, thyroid function and anti-thyroid antibodies.

Results
Fifty-four patients were recruited (mean age 48.1 years; 63% men). The mean thyroid volume increased from USG1 to USG2 (11.9 ± 4.8 to 14.5 ± 6.2 mL, p < 0.001). Thirty-two patients (59.3%) had significant increase in thyroid volume by ≥15%, and they had a median increase of +33.3% (IQR: +20.0% to +45.0%). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that only higher baseline SARS-CoV-2 viral load independently correlated with significant thyroid volume increase on USG2 (p = 0.022). Among the seven patients with thyroiditis features on USG1, six (85.7%) had the features resolved on USG2. None had new thyroiditis features on USG2. All abnormal thyroid function during acute COVID-19 resolved upon USG1 and USG2.

Conclusion
Most COVID-19 survivors had an increase in thyroid volume from early convalescent phase to later convalescent phase. This increase correlated with high initial SARS-CoV-2 viral load. Together with the resolution of thyroiditis features, these may suggest a transient direct atrophic effect of SARS-CoV-2 on the thyroid gland with subsequent recovery of thyroid volume and thyroiditis features.

Published: March 2023

A new feed grade coded MUSARPOMS 25%, 50% and 75% at 10 and 20% replacement level was used as a case study to determine growth performance and blood metabolites of weaner pigs. Twelve weeks feeding trial was conducted to determine the performance and some haematological paremeters of weaner pigs fed MUSARPOMS diets as replacement for maize. Twenty eight six weeks’ old weaner pigs with an average weight of 8.00kg were randomly allocated to seven treatments of 0 (Control), 25%, 50% and 75% at 10 and 20% replacement levels of MUSARPOMS 25% Grade (25% ripe plantain peels and 75% Palm oil mill slurry mixture), MUSARPOMS 50% Grade (50% ripe plantain peels and 50% Palm oil mill slurry mixture), and MUSARPOMS 75% Grade (75% ripe plantain peels and 25% Palm oil mill slurry mixture). Each treatment had four replicate made up of two male and two female. Data were collected on live weight, weight gained and feed intake while feed efficiency and feed conversion ratio were determined. The average initial weight, final live weight, total weight gained and daily weight gained showed no significant (P > 0.05) differences in growing pigs across the treatments. Feed conversion ratio and feed efficiency did not differ significantly (P>0.05) from the control. Some haematological parameters, fasting blood sugar and serum protein were tested for each 28 growing pigs at the end of the feeding experiment. Results of the full blood count revealed that the white blood cells and its differentials showed no significant (P<0.05) differences except monocyte. Serum protein and glucose showed no significance (P>0.05) differences in globulin, total protein and glucose. Based on the results of this experiment, it can be concluded that feeding “MUSARPOMS” grades at 10% and 20% levels compared well with the conventional energy feedstuff. The growth performance of the pigs indicated adequate utilization of the three MUSARPOMS grades developed.

Land is a finite natural resource, the efficient management of which is vital for economic growth and development of the country. It is required for both agriculture and non-agricultural purposes. An analysis of structural changes in the land use pattern over a period of time provides the scope for planned and judicious management of land. In this connection, the present study on ‘An Economic analysis of temporal changes in land use pattern in Western Maharashtra’ was undertaken. For analysis the secondary sources and the necessary regional level time series data on area under land use categories were compiled from various issues of statistical abstract of Maharashtra and other publications of Government. The entire period of 1960-61 to 2019-20 was decomposed into three periods, viz; pre-liberalization, post-liberalization and overall period. A temporal change in land use pattern was estimated with the per cent change and compound growth rates. The temporal changes in land use dynamics of Western Maharashtra region revealed that, land put to non-agricultural uses, miscellaneous tree crops and groves, current fallow and fallows other than current fallow showed an increased trend while, area under forest, barren and uncultivable land, cultivable waste and net area sown registered a decline during Period-II. It is suggested that, during Period-II, the average proportion of forest land is 14.72 per cent, which is far less than the necessary percentage i.e., 33 per cent. Therefore, necessary steps may be taken by the state government in order to restore and maintain ecological balance. Land put to non-agricultural uses inclined throughout all the periods under study indicating an alarming situation. Majority of this conversion to land put to non-agricultural uses has taken place of agricultural land. Hence, the state government may prepare suitable policies controlling conversion of agricultural land, particularly.
On Optimization Policy for Verma Entropy by Dynamic Programming
Authors: Verma Rohit Kumar 
Published: March 2023

Varma [1,2] entropy has attracted attention for a new class of non-linear integer programming problems that arise during the course of discussion. Our focus in this communication is to explore the techniques of dynamic programming. This process requires splitting any optimization event into a finite number of subcomponents for any occurrence of a finite generalized problem. The capacity plan should be partitioned in such a way that the expression can be optimized.

ImportanceThe US health care system generates substantial global waste. Skin biopsies are frequently performed by dermatologists and represent a practical and scalable opportunity for waste reduction interventions in dermatology clinics.ObjectiveTo develop and implement a systematic framework for decreasing skin biopsy tray waste in dermatology clinics.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis quality improvement study was conducted at 4 outpatient clinic sites within a single institution between October 2021 and April 2022. The clinic site with the greatest skin biopsy tray waste production was selected for intervention. Waste audits before and after the intervention quantified the number of wasted supplies per skin biopsy tray in dermatology clinics. The participants were dermatology residents, faculty, nurses, medical assistants, and clinic managers.InterventionsProvision of educational materials about climate change and health care and standardizing biopsy tray setup to decrease wasted supplies.Main Outcomes and MeasuresQuantity of wasted skin biopsy tray supplies (gauze squares, alcohol pads, cotton swabs, and adhesive bandages) before and after interventions.ResultsIn waste audits in 4 outpatient dermatology clinics (comprising 98 skin biopsy trays), prior to intervention, 100% of skin biopsy trays had more than 2 wasted supplies within targeted outpatient dermatology clinics at the Stanford Cancer Institute with a mean (SD) of 10.1 (3.4) wasted items per biopsy tray. Following the quality improvement-based interventions, only 16% of skin biopsy trays had more than 2 wasted supplies and the mean (SD) number of wasted supplies per tray decreased to 1.6 (1.3).Conclusions and RelevanceResults of this quality improvement study suggest that through collaboration with all members of the clinical team including physicians, medical assistants, nurses, and clinic managers, skin biopsy tray setup modifications may be associated with reduced waste in outpatient dermatology clinics. This study presents a framework that accounts for different factors in the production of waste in individual clinic settings, and thus can be adapted within additional dermatology clinics.

ImportanceFirearm homicides are a major public health concern; lack of timely mortality data presents considerable challenges to effective response. Near real-time data sources offer potential for more timely estimation of firearm homicides.ObjectiveTo estimate near real-time burden of weekly and annual firearm homicides in the US.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsIn this prognostic study, anonymous, longitudinal time series data were obtained from multiple data sources, including Google and YouTube search trends related to firearms (2014-2019), emergency department visits for firearm injuries (National Syndromic Surveillance Program, 2014-2019), emergency medical service activations for firearm-related injuries (biospatial, 2014-2019), and National Domestic Violence Hotline contacts flagged with the keyword firearm (2016-2019). Data analysis was performed from September 2021 to September 2022.Main Outcomes and MeasuresWeekly estimates of US firearm homicides were calculated using a 2-phase pipeline, first fitting optimal machine learning models for each data stream and then combining the best individual models into a stacked ensemble model. Model accuracy was assessed by comparing predictions of firearm homicides in 2019 to actual firearm homicides identified by National Vital Statistics System death certificates. Results were also compared with a SARIMA (seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average) model, a common method to forecast injury mortality.ResultsBoth individual and ensemble models yielded highly accurate estimates of firearm homicides. Individual models’ mean error for weekly estimates of firearm homicides (root mean square error) varied from 24.95 for emergency department visits to 31.29 for SARIMA forecasting. Ensemble models combining data sources had lower weekly mean error and higher annual accuracy than individual data sources: the all-source ensemble model had a weekly root mean square error of 24.46 deaths and full-year accuracy of 99.74%, predicting the total number of firearm homicides in 2019 within 38 deaths for the entire year (compared with 95.48% accuracy and 652 deaths for the SARIMA model). The model decreased the time lag of reporting weekly firearm homicides from 7 to 8 months to approximately 6 weeks.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this prognostic study of diverse secondary data on machine learning, ensemble modeling produced accurate near real-time estimates of weekly and annual firearm homicides and substantially decreased data source time lags. Ensemble model forecasts can accelerate public health practitioners’ and policy makers’ ability to respond to unanticipated shifts in firearm homicides.

Published: March 2023

AbstractSmart materials that can dynamically modulate incident light provide a broad prospect for the development of smart windows. However, the absence of capability to create smart materials with rapid transmittance switchability and mechanical robustness has restricted the realization of self‐defensive smart windows. Here, a solvatochromic alcogel designed by cellulose–polyacrylamide supramolecular configuration for developing a self‐defensive smart window is reported. The alcogel with compact nano‐bulge structures exhibits reversible and rapid switching of transparency between 85% and 5%, cycle time less than 8 s, and has strong mechanical robustness with elastic modulus of over 60 MPa. With this smart alcogel, the proposed self‐defensive smart window not only shows real‐time and reliable adjustment of transparency but also outputs a strong mechanical impact resistance of up to 42.8 kJ m−2, 10 and 12 times higher than that of a normal glass and photochromic window, respectively. It is believed that this study will open new opportunities for both fabrication and application of biological gels in smart windows and intelligent devices.

AbstractAll‐small‐molecule organic solar cells (ASM‐OSCs) are challenging for their inadequate efficiency and device stability due to their more susceptive morphology. Herein, a family of isomeric small molecule donors (SMDs) is synthesized based on the benzodithiophene–terthiophene core with linear, 1st carbon, and 2nd carbon position branched butyl‐based rhodanine for ASM‐OSCs, respectively. The single crystal of thiophene‐substituted model T‐s‐Bu forms a more compact intermolecular packing with herringbone structure than slip‐layered packing‐based T‐n‐Bu and T‐i‐Bu. SM‐i‐Bu and SM‐s‐Bu show slightly blue‐shifted absorption and deepened HOMO levels in the neat film compared to SM‐n‐Bu. SM‐s‐Bu:BO‐4Cl blend films have distinct face‐on packing orientations and suitable fibrous phase separation along with more apparent microcrystals. Finally, SM‐s‐Bu:BO‐4Cl‐based device yields an improved power conversion efficiency of 16.06% compared to 15.12% and 8.22% for SM‐n‐Bu:BO‐4Cl and SM‐i‐Bu:BO‐4Cl, which is one of the top‐ranked results for BTR‐series SMDs in binary ASM‐OSCs. More importantly, the excellent storage stability with a T80 lifetime of over 1700 h and decent thermal stability is realized in SM‐s‐Bu:BO‐4Cl. This work highlights that the isomeric terminal alkyl with a branching point directly connected to the backbone for SMDs is a promising strategy for improving the crystal packing and film morphology and achieving highly efficient and stable ASM‐OSCs.

AbstractManaging slow‐healing wounds and associated complications is challenging, time‐consuming, and expensive. Systematic collection, analysis, and dissemination of correct wound status data are critical for enhancing healing outcomes and reducing complications. However, traditional data collection approaches are often neither accurate nor user‐friendly and require diverse skill levels, resulting in the collection of inconsistent and unreliable data. As an advancement to the authors' previously developed hydrogel‐based smart wound dressing, here is reported an enhanced integration of drug delivery and sensing (pH and glucose) modules for accelerated treatment and continuous monitoring of cutaneous wounds. In the current study, growth factor delivery modules and an array of colorimetric glucose sensors are incorporated into the dressing to promote wound healing and extend the dressing's utility for diabetic wound treatment. Furthermore, the efficacy of the wound dressing in monitoring infection and supporting wound healing via antibiotic and growth factor delivery is investigated in mice models. The updated dressing reveals excellent healing benefits on non‐infected and infected wounds, as well as real‐time monitoring and early detection of wound infection.

AbstractTopologically protected polar textures have provided a rich playground for the exploration of novel, emergent phenomena. Recent discoveries indicate that ferroelectric vortices and skyrmions not only host properties markedly different from traditional ferroelectrics, but also that these properties can be harnessed for unique memory devices. Using a combination of capacitor‐based capacitance measurements and computational models, it is demonstrated that polar vortices in dielectric–ferroelectric–dielectric trilayers exhibit classical ferroelectric bi‐stability together with the existence of low‐field metastable polarization states. This behavior is directly tied to the in‐plane vortex ordering, and it is shown that it can be used as a new method of non‐destructive readout‐out of the poled state.

AbstractFlexible piezoresistive devices have boomed with the rapid development of industries such as “Big Data” and “Internet of Things” in recent years. Intense studies have proved that conductive nanomaterials can serve as excellent conductive layers for constructing high‐performance flexible piezoresistive sensors. In this paper, the most advanced developments in flexible piezoresistive sensors prepared by multi‐dimension conductive nanomaterials are systematically summarized, in which 0D, 1D, and 2D, 0D/1D, 0D/2D, 1D/2D and multi‐component hybrid nanomaterials are introduced in detail. In addition, the limitations and perspectives for further development of flexible piezoresistive sensors are also discussed. It is hoped that this review can inspire more exciting work on conductive nanomaterial‐based flexible piezoresistive sensors, thereby promoting their practical applications.

AbstractThe sidewall condition is a key factor determining the performance of micro‐light emitting diodes (µLEDs). In this study, equilateral triangular III‐nitride blue µLEDs are prepared with exclusively m‐plane sidewall surfaces to confirm the impact of sidewall conditions. It is found that inductively coupled plasma‐reactive ion etching (ICP‐RIE) causes surface damages to the sidewall and results in rough surface morphology. As confirmed by time‐resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) and X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS), tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) eliminates the etching damage and flattens the sidewall surface. After ICP‐RIE, 100 µm2‐µLEDs yield higher external quantum efficiency (EQE) than 400 µm2‐µLEDs. However, after TMAH treatment, the peak EQE of 400 µm2‐µLEDs increases by ≈10% in the low current regime, whereas that of 100 µm2‐µLEDs slightly decreases by ≈3%. The EQE of the 100 µm2‐µLEDs decreases after TMAH treatment although the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) increases. Further, the IQE of the 100 µm2‐µLEDs before and after TMAH treatment is insignificant at temperatures below 150 K, above which it becomes considerable. Based on PL, XPS, scanning transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy results, mechanisms for the size dependence of the EQE of µLEDs are explained in terms of non‐radiative recombination rate and light extraction.
