Nouvelle adresse est une jeune maison d’édition de bande dessinée québécoise qui, à l’exception de deux oeuvres de Philippe Girard, un vétéran du neuvième art québécois, s’est jusqu’à présent consacrée à la publication des premières oeuvres d’artistes de la relève. Notre article explore plusieurs oeuvres parues chez cette recrue de la scène de la bande dessinée québécoise afin d’en repérer les lignes de force. Les thématiques très variées abordées dans les oeuvres pourraient donner à croire que les oeuvres parues chez Nouvelle adresse se suivent, mais ne se ressemblent pas. Or, à bien y regarder, nous remarquons, par les témoignages contenus dans ces albums qui appartiennent de manières diverses à la « bande dessinée du réel », une réflexion sur la genèse, sur une forme de commencement, qui se déploie notamment par l’utilisation des codes de la bande dessinée que chaque artiste découvre et met en pratique pour la première fois. Il s’agira donc de mettre l’accent sur les poétiques de la création qui se déploient dans ces oeuvres afin de comprendre comment celles-ci en viennent à définir une ligne éditoriale distincte.
Narrative medicine workshops for emergency medicine residents: Effects on empathy and burnout
Authors: Malik Zayir , Ahn James , Schwartz Alan , Blackie Michael 
Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundEmergency medicine (EM) residents face unique affective challenges and barriers to interpersonal connection in their clinical environment which may contribute to decreased empathy and increased burnout. Narrative medicine (NM) might address these barriers and has had beneficial impacts in various populations but has never been studied in EM residents. In this study, we sought to evaluate the effect of NM workshops on burnout and empathy and to assess resident perceptions of the workshops.MethodsWe performed a quasi‐experimental study at two EM residencies from June to October 2020. Residents at the intervention site participated in two NM workshops led by EM faculty that were composed of a close reading of a literary text, reflective writing, and group discussion. Residents were asked to complete the abbreviated Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) and a single‐item burnout measure pre‐ and postintervention. We fitted linear regression models to IRI subscores; we treated burnout as an ordinal variable and fitted a conditional logistic regression model. Residents completed a postintervention survey that we analyzed using summary statistics.ResultsA total of 46.7% of control (28/60) and 100% of intervention (48/48) residents responded (n = 76). While all respondents demonstrated worsening burnout with time (p = 0.001), residents at the intervention site exhibited less severe increases (interaction p < 0.001). Empathy remained unchanged. A total of 50% of intervention residents (24/48) responded to the postintervention survey; most (n = 20, 83.3%) agreed that the workshops should be a standard part of EM didactics.ConclusionsThese findings establish the feasibility and desirability of NM in residency education and offers a model for EM‐centered narrative workshops. Additionally, while our outcomes are limited, we found that exposure to an NM curriculum may be protective against worsening burnout.

Published: July 2023

AbstractJapan's Hokuriku region, near the Sea of Japan, typically experiences heavy snowfall; however, Niigata City, the largest city on the Sea of Japan side, experiences lower levels of snowfall than neighbouring cities. This study investigates the snow‐shadow effect of Sado Island on snowfall in Niigata City, located 45 km away leeward. Statistical analysis of long‐term radar data for 10 winters showed that snow‐shadow effects in the Niigata plain occurred in 151 (80%) of the 188 cases, during which a strong approaching wind reached the island. The location of this snow‐shadow effect was always downwind of Sado Island and depended on the wind direction. Numerical experiments using the Weather Research and Forecasting model predicted that snowfall over the Niigata Plain would be lighter with the island than without it. Additionally, the snow‐shadow effect occurs in areas more than 150 km downwind. The experiments showed that Sado Island reduces heat fluxes from the sea surface by weakening leeward winds. At the same time, the horizontal wind convergence downwind is weakened. Meanwhile, the orographic snowfall over Sado Island reduces the amount of water vapour, cloud water and cloud ice over the leeward sea. Therefore, Sado Island prevents cloud lines from redeveloping over the leeward sea and can further reduce snowfall over the leeward plain, including in Niigata City.

Published: July 2023

AbstractObjectiveEndovascular therapy (EVT) is performed for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) with large vessel occlusion (LVO), however, the treatment strategies and clinical outcomes differ between cardiac embolism (CE) and intracranial arteriosclerosis‐derived LVO (ICAS‐LVO). We analyzed whether the time‐to‐max (Tmax) volume derived from perfusion imaging predicted clinical classification in AIS patients before EVT.MethodsConsecutive AIS patients with anterior circulation LVO evaluated by automated imaging software were retrospectively identified. Patients were classified into a CE group and an ICAS‐LVO group, and parameters were compared between groups.ResultsThirty‐nine patients were included and Tmax volume and Tmax > 6 s volume/Tmax > 4 s volume were significantly greater in the CE group than in the ICAS‐LVO group (Tmax > 4 s volume: 261 mL vs. 149 mL, p = .01, Tmax > 6 s volume: 143 mL vs. 59 mL, p = .001, Tmax > 6 s volume/Tmax > 4 s volume: 0.59 vs. 0.40, p < .001). Multiple logistic regression analysis indicated an association between clinical classification and high Tmax > 6 s volume/Tmax > 4 s volume (p = .04).ConclusionThe Tmax volume derived from perfusion imaging predicts the clinical classification of AIS patients before EVT.

AbstractCo‐delivery of anticancer drugs and target agents by endogenous materials is an inevitable approach towards targeted and synergistic therapy. Employing DNA base pair complementarities, DNA nanotechnology exploits a unique nanostructuring method and has demonstrated its capacity for nanoscale positioning and templated assembly. Moreover, the water solubility, biocompatibility, and modifiability render DNA structure suitable candidate for drug delivery applications. We here report single‐stranded DNA tail conjugated antitumor drug paclitaxel (PTX), and the co‐delivery of PTX, doxorubicin and targeting agent mucin 1 (MUC‐1) aptamer on a DNA nanobarrel carrier. We investigated the effect of tail lengths on drug release efficiencies and dual drug codelivery‐enabled cytotoxicity. Owing to the rapidly developing field of structural DNA nanotechnology, functional DNA‐based drug delivery is promising to achieve clinical therapeutic applications.

Published: July 2023

SummaryField‐programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are an attractive type of accelerator for all‐purpose high performance computing computing systems due to the possibility of deploying tailored hardware on demand. However, the common tools for programming and operating FPGAs are still complex to use, especially in scenarios where diverse types of tasks should be dynamically executed. In this work, we present a programming abstraction with a simple interface that internally leverages high‐level synthesis, dynamic partial reconfiguration and synchronization mechanisms to use an FPGA as a multi‐tasking server with preemptive scheduling and priority queues. This leads to an improved use of the FPGA resources, allowing the execution of several different kernels concurrently and deploying the most urgent ones as fast as possible. The results of our experimental study show that our approach incurs only a 10 5% overhead in the worst case when using two reconfigurable regions, whilst providing a significant performance improvement of at least 24 21% over the traditional full reconfiguration approach.

Published: July 2023

AbstractOn oceanic islands, strong human impacts on habitats, combined with introductions of exotic species, modify the composition of terrestrial bird assemblages and threaten their ecological functions. In La Réunion, an oceanic island located in the Madagascan region, a national park was established in 2007 to counter the ecosystem‐level effects of three centuries of habitat conversion, native species destruction and exotic species introductions. Here, we investigated how bird assemblages were structured in these human‐modified landscapes, 10 years before the national park set out its first conservation measures. We used a combination of multivariate statistics and generalized additive models to describe variations in the taxonomic and functional composition and diversity of 372 local bird assemblages, encompassing 20 species, along gradients of habitat composition and configuration. We found that native species were tied to native habitats while exotic species were associated with urban areas and man‐modified landscape mosaics, with some overlap at mid‐elevations. Species' trophic preferences were segregated along habitat gradients, but ecological traits had an overall weak role in explaining the composition of species assemblages. Hence, at the time of the survey, native and exotic species in La Réunion formed two spatially distinct species assemblages with contrasting ecological trait suites that benefited from antagonistic habitat compositions and dynamics. We conclude that our results support the analysis of historical data sets to establish reference points to monitor human impacts on insular ecosystems.

AbstractDNA‐based aquatic biomonitoring methods show promise to provide rapid, standardized, and efficient biodiversity assessment to supplement and in some cases replace current morphology‐based approaches that are often less efficient and can produce inconsistent results. Despite this potential, broad‐scale adoption of DNA‐based approaches by end‐users remains limited, and studies on how these two approaches differ in detecting aquatic biodiversity across large spatial scales are lacking. Here, we present a comparison of DNA metabarcoding and morphological identification, leveraging national‐scale, open‐source, ecological datasets from the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). Across 24 wadeable streams in North America with 179 paired sample comparisons, we found that DNA metabarcoding detected twice as many unique taxa than morphological identification overall. The two approaches showed poor congruence in detecting the same taxa, averaging 59%, 35%, and 23% of shared taxa detected at the order, family, and genus levels, respectively. Importantly, the two approaches detected different proportions of indicator taxa like %EPT and %Chironomidae. DNA metabarcoding detected far fewer Chironomid and Trichopteran taxa than morphological identification, but more Ephemeropteran and Plecopteran taxa, a result likely due to primer choice. Overall, our results showed that DNA metabarcoding and morphological identification detected different benthic macroinvertebrate communities. Despite these differences, we found that the same environmental variables were correlated with invertebrate community structure, suggesting that both approaches can accurately detect biodiversity patterns across environmental gradients. Further refinement of DNA metabarcoding protocols, primers, and reference libraries–as well as more standardized, large‐scale comparative studies–may improve our understanding of the taxonomic agreement and data linkages between DNA metabarcoding and morphological approaches.

AbstractCardiomyopathies represent significant contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Over the past decades, a progress has occurred in characterization of the genetic background and major pathophysiological mechanisms, which has been incorporated into a more nuanced diagnostic approach and risk stratification. Furthermore, medications targeting core disease processes and/or their downstream adverse effects have been introduced for several cardiomyopathies. Combined with standard care and prevention of sudden cardiac death, these novel and emerging targeted therapies offer a possibility of improving the outcomes in several cardiomyopathies. Therefore, the aim of this document is to summarize practical approaches to the treatment of cardiomyopathies, which includes the evidence‐based novel therapeutic concepts and established principles of care, tailored to the individual patient aetiology and clinical presentation of the cardiomyopathy. The scope of the document encompasses contemporary treatment of dilated, hypertrophic, restrictive and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. It was based on an expert consensus reached at the Heart Failure Association online Workshop, held on 18 March 2021.
CO2‐mediated bloater defect can be induced by the uncontrolled growth of Enterobacteriaceae in cucumber fermentation
Authors: Zhai Yawen , Pagán‐Medina Christian G. , Pérez‐Díaz Ilenys M. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractEnterobacteriaceae are known to proliferate in cucumber juice, deriving energy from the fermentation of sugars to organic acids and ethanol, and theoretically generating carbon dioxide (CO2). We hypothesized that the CO2 produced by the indigenous Enterobacteriaceae in the early stage of cucumber fermentation accumulates in the fermenting fruits causing bloater defect. The ability of seven Enterobacteriaceae, indigenous to cucumber, to grow and produce CO2 in cucumber juice medium (CJM), a sterile model system for cucumber fermentation, was characterized. The induction of bloater defect in cucumber fermentation conducted with pasteurized and acidified fruits was also evaluated. The generation times of the seven Enterobacteriaceae in CJM ranged between 0.25 and 8.20 h and resulted in carbon dioxide (CO2) production to estimated amounts of 7.22–171.5 mM. Enterobacter cancerogenus and Enterobacter nimipressuralis were among the bacteria that produced the most and the least CO2 in CJM, respectively, at estimated mM concentrations of 171.58 ± 42.96 and 16.85 ± 6.53. Inoculation of E. cancerogenus and E. nimipressuralis in acidified and pasteurized cucumbers resulted in the production of 138 and 27 mM CO2, respectively. Such Enterobacteriaceae produced 2% hydrogen in the model cucumber fermentations. A bloater index of 25.4 and 17.4 was calculated from the cucumbers fermented by E. cancerogenus and E. nimipressuralis, respectively, whereas no defect was observed in the fruits collected from uninoculated control fermentation jars. It is concluded that the metabolic activity of the Enterobacteriaceae indigenous to cucumber can produce sufficient CO2 in cucumber fermentations to induce bloater defect.
Canine Support Program: Student perceptions and preferences at a regional university and implications for health, well‐being, and student support enhancements

Published: July 2023

AbstractIssue AddressedCanine Support Programs (CSPs) are a potential solution to growing university student support demands. While current studies focus on the impacts of CSPs, there is limited understanding of the views and expectations of tertiary students about CSPs. This study explored the perceptions and preferences of students in an Australian regional university about CSPs.MethodsA questionnaire with multiple choice and open‐ended questions surveyed residential students' perspectives about CSP. Data were analysed using descriptive statistical tests and thematic analysis for open responses.ResultsMajority (98%) of participants (sample n = 48) would support a CSP on campus. Frequent, small‐group interactions of ≥15 min involving physical contact were preferred. Dog disposition, welfare‐trained handlers, and veterinary certification were important aspects of program safety. Participants strongly agreed a CSP would improve mental health and well‐being, relieve stress, reduce feelings of homesickness, provide support, comfort, and enable social interactions.ConclusionThere is strong support among the study population for CSP to be established on campus. This study supports earlier research that CSP has benefit potential for new, stressed, and/or students who love dogs. The preferences of students should inform program design to enhance utility and impact. This aligns with Health Promoting Universities and College's Okanagan Charter principle of ‘engaging student voices’. More institutional awareness and support for CSPs will be necessary for integration.So What?This study reveals the need for tailored and creative student support beyond traditional offerings including those that focus on student well‐being and social initiatives. CSPs can be utilised as an advocate, enabler, and medium for mental health promotion action and well‐being support for tertiary students; thereby, contributing to the ‘Health Promoting University’ agenda in Australia. It also reinforces the need for a Health in All Policies approach to be incorporated into our tertiary education sector. Future actions should focus on improving institutional awareness, support, and sector implementation.
International actions in spurring innovation in agriculture water management
Authors: Koo‐Oshima Sasha 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe multifaceted global challenges such as the ever‐growing food demand, climate change and rising commodity prices bring to the fore the need for more productive food systems. Irrigation is arguably a principal strategy to increase agricultural productivity and improve the resilience to climate change. A systems‐based approach to produce more food with less resources, through innovative practices and digital tools, can support integrated information for water management to strengthen resources' governance and inform decision‐making. Context‐based innovations must target end users with aims for inclusive governance, recognizing gender and indigenous and traditional knowledge. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) accelerates actions with partners such as the International Commission on Irrigation and Drainage (ICID) by mobilizing data, innovation and technology through diverse stakeholder groups through inclusive and gender‐responsive approaches, to guide, through national strategies, regional platforms and collaboration, agricultural development, and enable investment and behaviour change, supported by innovative practices, tools and digital solutions.

Published: July 2023

AbstractWe use data collected by Biogeochemical Argo (BGC‐Argo) float, over a 5‐year period (2016–2021), to study the dynamics of a unique low‐oxygen‐adapted phytoplanktonic community in the eastern tropical North Pacific. We isolate this community using a model that partitions vertical profiles of chlorophyll a (Chl a) and particulate backscattering into the contributions of three communities of phytoplankton: C1, the community in the mixed‐layer; C2, at the deep Chl a maximum; and C3, in low‐oxygen waters at the base of the euphotic zone. We find that C3 has a similar chl‐specific particulate backscattering to C2, both lower than C1. C2 and C3 contribute significantly to integrated stocks of Chl a, both at around 41%, and both around 30% of integrated particulate backscattering (after removing a background signal attributed to nonalgal particles). Found at depths of around 100 m, the peak biomass of C3 is lower than C2 (located at around 60 m), and yet, C3 makes similar contributions to integrated stocks, because it has a broader peak than C2. In relation to C1 and C2, C3 thrives in a lower temperature, higher density, lower light, lower oxygen, and higher saline habitat. This work illustrates how BGC‐Argo floats, in combination with simple conceptual models, can be used to observe the dynamics of unique communities of phytoplankton in extreme environments. The projected climate‐driven changes in oxygen minimum zones add urgency to understand the vulnerabilities of these communities both in terms of stocks and composition.
