ObjectiveGetting COVID-19 makes a person confront numerous individual, physical, psychological, family and social challenges. Therefore, the present study was conducted to explain the experiences, challenges and adaptation strategies in patients with COVID-19 in Tehran, Iran.MethodsThe present study was performed with a qualitative approach and phenomenological method among 33 patients with COVID-19. From July 20 to September 21, access to participants and data collection were done in person (15 people) and by phone (18 people) through targeted sampling and snowball and semi-structured interviews. Data management was carried out using MAXQDA-2018 software and its analysis was done by the Colaizzi analysis method. Guba and Lincoln's criteria were also observed to improve the quality of results.ResultsAfter analyzing the data, two main categories and 17 subcategories were obtained, including (1) experiences and challenges (ignoring the disease, blaming, physical health disorders, mental problems, guilt, and remorse, being blamed, living a life of disappointment and ambiguity, emotional challenges, frustrating reactions from others, helplessness and limitation) and (2) disease adaptation strategies (spirituality, learning about COVID-19, doing valuable and fun activities, participating in treatment, strengthening one's spirit and hope, trying to make up for past mistakes and virtual communication).ConclusionsBased on the results, interventions and policies such as increasing people's health knowledge and literacy to get acquainted with the symptoms of the disease and prompt referral for diagnosis and treatment, teaching stress and psychological pressure management techniques, instructing families to continue emotional and social support for patients and strengthening and reproducing the strategies patients use, along with teaching disease coping skills, harnessing the potential of cyberspace and the media can make it easier to tolerate illness and get back to life.

Objective: Although PU.1/Spi1 is known as a master regulator for macrophage development and function, we have reported previously that it is also expressed in adipocytes and is transcriptionally induced in obesity. Here, we investigated the role of adipocyte PU.1 in the development of the age-associated metabolic syndrome.Methods: We generated mice with adipocyte-specific PU.1 knockout, assessed metabolic changes in young and older adult PU.1fl/fl (control) and AdipoqCre PU.1fl/fl (aPU.1KO) mice, including body weight, body composition, energy expenditure, and glucose homeostasis. We also performed transcriptional analyses using RNA-Sequencing of adipocytes from these mice.Results: aPU.1KO mice have elevated energy expenditure at a young age and decreased adiposity and increased insulin sensitivity in later life. Corroborating these observations, transcriptional network analysis indicated the existence of validated, adipocyte PU.1-modulated regulatory hubs that direct inflammatory and thermogenic gene expression programs.Conclusion: Our data provide evidence for a previously uncharacterized role of PU.1 in the development of age-associated obesity and insulin resistance.

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to explore the factors associated with the occurrence of ISP after VATS to reduce the incidence of ISP and improve patients' quality of life.MethodsThe data of patients were collected between June 2020 and August 2020 in the Department of Lung Cancer Surgery, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital. The angle of upper arm was measured intraoperatively. The patient's postoperative shoulder function was quantified using the Constant-Murley shoulder function rating score. The proportional hazards model was applied to identify multiple influence factors.ResultsA total of 140 eligible patients met criteria. At postoperative day 3, only the age influenced patients' shoulder pain. At postoperative day 14, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.098 [1.046-1.152]; P &lt; 0.001) and upper arm Angle A (OR: 1.064 [1.011-1.121]; P = 0.018) were independent risk factors for low shoulder function scores. However, height was its protective factor (OR: 0.923 [0.871-0.977]; P = 0.006). At postoperative day 42, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that age (OR: 1.079 [1.036-1.124]; P &lt; 0.001) was a risk factor for low shoulder function scores, and height (OR: 0.933 [0.886-0.983]; P = 0.009) was its protective factor. In contrast, upper arm Angle B was not statistically associated with low shoulder function scores (P&gt;0.05). In addition, the reduction in ipsilateral Shoulder scores after surgery was higher in patients with more than 113° of angle A (P = 0.025).ConclusionISP was closely related to the angle of anterior flexion of the upper arm on the patient's operative side intraoperatively. The increase in the degree of postoperative shoulder injury is more pronounced for an anterior flexion angle of &gt;113°. Therefore, we recommend that the angle of anterior flexion of the upper extremity should be &lt;113° intraoperatively.
Étude des responsabilités, des garanties et des assurances dans la construction, en vue d’une harmonisation au niveau communautaire
Authors: Mathurin Claude 
Published: February 2022

L'Acte Unique prescrit, en son article 100A, que le marché intérieur doit reposer sur une «protection élevée» en matière de santé, de sécurité d'environnement, et à l'égard du consommateur.
Le Parlement Européen a demandé, dans une résolution adoptée le 12 octobre 1988, que dans la construction soient uniformisés les contrats et contrôles, harmonisées les responsabilités et les garanties après-vente des logements.
Les propositions qui suivent ont l'ambition d’atteindre ces deux objectifs :
— par une définition des fonctions principales des intervenants dans tout acte de construire, en particulier celle de l'auteur du projet ;
— par une harmonisation du contrôle de la construction au regard des 6 nouvelles «exigences essentielles» ;
— par une responsabilité unifiée et adaptée des divers intervenants à partir de la réception des ouvrages et durant un laps de temps réaliste et raisonnable tenant compte de la durabilité des ouvrages et de la nature des travaux ;
— par une garantie minimale quinquennale généralisée de bonne livraison et de bonne tenue des ouvrages qu’il apparaît aujourd’hui judicieux d'exiger de la part des constructeurs européens confrontés à la concurrence mondiale ;
— par une protection efficace des acquéreurs de logements neufs ou réhabilités contre les défauts et les dommages de la construction, grâce à des mécanismes d’assurance de bonne qualité ;
— par une amélioration des rapports entre les intervenants qui ne soit pas limitée à la commande publique et qui ne laisse de côté ni les entreprises spécialisées ni les fournisseurs de composants.
Peu de pays disposent aujourd'hui de systèmes juridiques vraiment satisfaisants. Les incertitudes, les complications, les lacunes abondent.
La Communauté Européenne peut jouer dans ce domaine un rôle bénéfique et déterminant, à condition d'en avoir la volonté politique. A la question «une harmonisation des 12 systèmes nationaux est-elle souhaitable ?», une très forte majorité des réponses exprimées est positive (40 sur 47) tandis qu'à la question «est-il possible de créer un système communautaire ?», les oui l'emportent largement (36 sur 41).
Plutôt que de formuler son appréciation personnelle, l'auteur du rapport préfère souligner objectivement :
— la tendance forte en faveur d'un système harmonisé ;
— les réserves exprimées principalement en Allemagne ;
— l’intérêt d’une responsabilité spécifique des constructeurs ;
— l’avantage reconnu d'une garantie minimale communautaire ;
— la nécessité de protéger par une assurance les acheteurs de logement.
La mémoire du vin. Le souvenir et l'oubli dans le vignoble bourguignon
Authors: Bazin Jean-François 
Published: February 2022

Memories of wine : remembering and forgetting in the vineyard of Burgundy.
Burgundy wine grew out of an extremely old culture. The "original memory", belonging to religious comunities, was lost with several portentous events : the sale of the biens nationaux, the phylloxera crisis, the agricultural revolutions. The memory of the wine grower has paid more attention to weather phenomena, than to changes in ownership, and has been transmitted more through oral tradition than through archives. Sometimes entirely made over, the memory of wine becomes richer with legends, often believable if not verifiable, such as the story of the rivalry between Madame de Pompadour and the Prince de Conti over Romanée-Conti. These memories of wine remain to this day largely unwritten.
Les Amorini et la terre au XIXe siècle. La politique foncière d’une famille noble de Bologne
Authors: Martini Manuela 
Published: February 2022

The Amorini and landholding in the XIXth century. The landholding policy of a noble family from Bologna
The choices made by the marquess Amorini Bolognini of Bologna in the management of their estates were hardly expressive of some noble atavistic landholding behavior having been carried on continouslv since the modern era ; on the contrary, they turn out to have undergone considerable change in the XIXth century, while still privileging the ownership of land. This article analyses the innovations the Amorini introduced in the management of their considerable landed estate -approximately 1 100 ha situated on fertile soils in the Pô basin -, with the help of a regressive analysis capturing the dynamics of the family investments by comparing synchronic sources, for instance probate inven¬ tories of the XIXth century with those of the XVIIIth. It turns out that Antonio Amorini quickly adapted to the upheavals which took place on the land market around the napoleonic era, and succeeded in increasing quantitatively and qualitatively his landed estate while rationalizing its cultivation. Thus, his approach was similar to that of the bourgeois elites of the time ; as the century wore on, himself and his heirs wove increasingly close economic and social relationships with these elites.
Le clergé contre l’ivrognerie dans les montagnes du Doubs. La campagne du Père Ducreux (1864-1869)
Authors: Petit Vincent 
Published: February 2022

Clergy versus drunkenness. Father Ducreuxs crusade in the Doubs mountains, 1864-1869 Vincent Petit
In the middle of the 19th century, the priests serving the villages of the Haut-Doubs became worried about the development of alcoholism among their flock. The increased occurrence of this vice, according to them, was a result of the political upheavals after 1789, of the spread of clock-making, of the development of a market economy, of contra¬ band in the area, and of the influence coming from cities and from industrialized and Protestant Switzerland. Indeed, they criticized the entire social evolution of their time in the name of an uncompromising Catholicism, which they saw as a source of social har¬ mony and moral rehabilitation.
All this finally crystallized in 1864 in a large-scale temperance crusade led by a Jesuit, Father Ducreux, who organized prayer meetings and revivals, and set up a network of temperance societies. This effort proved futile : the failure of this campaign of religious reconquest illuminates the growing difficulties encountered by a clergy facing increasingly coherent rural communities, which were already well integrated into wide-ranging economic networks, as well as into a national political field.

Published: February 2022

Abstract
In epidural anesthesia, it is difficult to specify the puncture position of the anesthesia needle. We have proposed an ultrasonic method to depict the thoracic spine using the different characteristics of reflection from bone and scattering from muscle tissue. In the present paper, we investigated the transmission aperture’s width of the ultrasound probe to emphasize the differences in the reflection and scattering characteristics. First, we determined the optimum transmission aperture’s width using a simulation experiment. Next, we measured reflection and scattering signals by changing the transmission aperture’s width in a water tank experiment and confirmed that the results corresponded to the simulations. However, as the transmission aperture’s width increased, the lateral resolution at the focal point improved. Therefore, better imaging of the human thoracic vertebrae can be achieved by selecting the transmission aperture’s width, which considers the effect on lateral resolution.

Abstract
Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells have challenges in operation under low-humidity conditions caused by a proton conduction mechanism dependent on water. We focused on polymeric ionic liquids (PILs), which are promising for high proton conductivity under a wide range of environments because they have the characteristics of polymer electrolyte liquids. However, it is difficult to fabricate self-standing membranes of PILs due to their high hygroscopicity and fluidity. In this paper, to inhibit the fluidity of the PIL in developing a self-standing PEM, the hydrophobic chain segment of styrene is inserted between the PILs of poly(vinylphosphonic acid/1-propylimidazole) (P(VPA/1PIm)) by RAFT polymerization. The synthesized sample of P(VPA/1PIm)-block-polystyrene is potentially applicable to PEM materials because it was obtained in powder state, having a high heat resistance of up to 300 °C, and exhibiting a proton-conducting property under a wide range of environments.

Published: February 2022

<p> Invasion of locust swarms has affected the crops in many countries in Africa and Asia, which is a significant threat to food security. Therefore, different approaches are adopted to monitor and control the locust swarms to save the crops. Furthermore, it has been proved in various studies that technology can help in agriculture through drones, real-time data monitoring, or teaching the farmers with the latest tools. Following the UN sustainability goals for food security, this research has presented a Virtual Reality(VR) based educational application to teach sustainable locust management strategies. Using hand tracking technology in the Oculus Quest lets users learn how farmers can deal with locusts without pesticides. Based on a storytelling approach, the methods presented are profitable for the farmers and free of any harm to crops regarding food security. This application can help motivate the adoption of these sustainable locust control strategies in broader interventions for environmental recovery. </p>

Regular Graphs with Many Triangles are Structured
Authors: Van der Hoorn Pim , Lippner Gabor , Mossel Elchanan 
Published: February 2022

We compute the leading asymptotics of the logarithm of the number of $d$-regular graphs having at least a fixed positive fraction $c$ of the maximum possible number of triangles, and provide a strong structural description of almost all such graphs.
When $d$ is constant, we show that such graphs typically consist of many disjoint $(d+1)$-cliques and an almost triangle-free part. When $d$ is allowed to grow with $n$, we show that such graphs typically consist of very dense sets of size $d+o(d)$ together with an almost triangle-free part.
This confirms a conjecture of Collet and Eckmann from 2002 and considerably strengthens their observation that the triangles cannot be totally scattered in typical instances of regular graphs with many triangles.
