description:

Con l’ingiunzione europea di pagamento si è voluto offrire agli operatori economici dell’Unione un mezzo, uniforme e semplice nell’uso, per il rapido recupero dei crediti non contestati. La snellezza del meccanismo si riscontra già per quanto attiene alla forma della domanda, secondo la disciplina dell’art. 7 del reg. (CE) 1896/2006. L’Italia ha tuttavia comunicato alla Commissione di ammettere solo domande in forma cartacea, da consegnarsi brevi manu o da trasmettersi per posta. Nello scritto si rilegge questa limitazione alla luce dell’evolversi della realtà, di fatto e giuridica, interna e dei principi comunitari di effettività e di equivalenza e si conclude che essa possa e debba essere superata in modo da ammettere anche domande in forma elettronica, firmate digitalmente e inviate in allegato ad un messaggio di posta semplice.

Capsule Commentary on Schickedanz et al., Impact of Social Needs Navigation on Utilization Among High-Utilizers in a Large Integrated Health System: a Quasi-Experimental Study
Creators: name: Berkowitz, S.A.
Publisher: name: Springer New York LLC
Year: 2019

description: In this prospective evaluation of a large health-related social needs screening and navigation program for predicted high utilizers of healthcare services, Schickedanz et al. estimate a small decrease in healthcare utilization that is not statistically significant, when comparing those screened to all other predicted high utilizers. However, when restricting their analyses to subgroups with census tract indicators of lower socioeconomic status or with Medicaid insurance, they estimate both clinically meaningful and statistically significant reductions in healthcare utilization. The reasons for high utilization are quite heterogeneous, so examining subgroups more likely to have the health-related social needs that the intervention is meant to address makes sense. The results of this high-quality evaluation have important implications for both research and clinical operations within healthcare systems.

description: Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) is a sampling best-first method to search for optimal decisions. The success of MCTS depends heavily on how the MCTS statistical tree is built and the selection policy plays a fundamental role in this. A particular selection policy that works particularly well, widely adopted in MCTS, is the Upper Confidence Bounds for Trees, referred to as UCT. Other more sophisticated bounds have been proposed by the community with the goal to improve MCTS performance on particular problems. Thus, it is evident that while the MCTS UCT behaves generally well, some variants might behave better. As a result of this, multiple works have been proposed to evolve a selection policy to be used in MCTS. Although all these works are inspiring, none of them have carried out an in-depth analysis shedding light under what circumstances an evolved alternative of MCTS UCT might be beneficial in MCTS due to focusing on a single type of problem. In sharp contrast to this, in this work we use five functions of different nature, going from a unimodal function, covering multimodal functions to deceptive functions. We demonstrate how the evolution of the MCTS UCT might be beneficial in multimodal and deceptive scenarios, whereas the MCTS UCT is robust in unimodal scenarios and competitive in the rest of the scenarios used in this study.

Addressing Health-Related Social Needs: Value-Based Care or Values-Based Care?

description: Health-related social needs, such as food insecurity, housing instability, and lack of transportation, are associated with worse health outcomes, and are increasingly the focus of health-related social needs interventions within healthcare. Adoption of health-related social needs interventions is often justified by the potential to reduce healthcare costs. However, this can present a conundrum to clinicians. Physicians are often more accustomed to justifying clinical innovation based on improvements in health, in accord with the fundamental values of the medical profession, which include using our knowledge, skills, and the resources at our disposal to improve both individual and public health. In cases where health-related social needs interventions improve health but are not cost-saving, these two types of justifications can conflict. We provide a framework for considering these issues, and an agenda for scholarly work on this topic. Ultimately, if promoting patient and public health are key values for our profession, then understanding when to emphasize values-based care, rather than simply value-based care, is crucial to fulfilling our professional duty.

description: Notre mémoire est consacré à la question de l’école à la maison, dans le canton de Vaud. Bien que le phénomène soit avant tout anglo-saxon, le canton de Vaud n’est plus en reste, En effet, sur les mille enfants environ qui, en Suisse, ne fréquentent ni l’école publique, ni d’écoles privées près de cinq cents le sont dans le seul pays de Vaud. Il est vrai que la loi cantonale est très libérale en la matière ; la plus libérale du pays en réalité et ceci explique que partout, en Suisse, de nombreuses personnes qui ne sont pas autorisées à faire l’école à la maison à leurs enfants « s’expatrient » de leur canton d’origine afin de venir s’installer dans le canton de Vaud. La question du profil des familles faisant l’école à la maison nous semblait importante et c’est pourquoi nous avons pris le parti d’une étude empirique, par le biais d’interviews de ces familles. Il est apparu que les motifs pouvaient se retrouver dans trois grandes catégories : celle du voyage, celle d’une philosophie de vie particulière et celle d’une incompatibilité irréconciliable de l’enfant avec le cadre scolaire Nous voulions nous intéresser à ces enfants que l’on ne rencontrera pas en tant qu’enseignant, afin de nous interroger sur ce phénomène qui prend de plus en plus d’ampleur. D’abord, la rédaction du mémoire nous a ouverts à des formes alternatives d’instruction. Ensuite, la discussion avec les familles et les membres des associations nous ont permis de mesurer les difficultés que peut parfois revêtir le dialogue entre l’école et les parents. Enfin, tout ceci nous conduit naturellement vers une remise en question de l’enseignement traditionnel. Il ne s’agit pas évidemment de faire table rase de ce qui en constitue la substance, mais de s’interroger sur l’importance des sujets abordés, le sens des évaluations, et l’inclusion scolaire que certains parents ayant fait le choix de la scolarisation à domicile interrogent fortement.
Perfect nonreciprocity by loss engineering

description: Realization of nonreciprocal transmission with low insertion loss and high contrast simultaneously is in great demand for one-way optical communication and information processing. Here we propose a generic approach to achieving perfect nonreciprocity that allows lossless unidirectional transmission by engineering energy losses. The loss of the intermediate mode induces a phase lag impinging on the indirect channel for energy transmission, which does not depend on the energy transmission direction. When the direct transmission channel coexists with the indirect lossy transmission channel, the dual-channel interference can be tuned to be destructive simultaneously for backward transmission from the rightmost mode to the leftmost mode, and for forward transmission from the leftmost mode to the intermediate mode. The former interference outcome corresponds to 100% nonreciprocity contrast, and the latter guarantees zero insertion loss for forward transmission. Additionally, our scheme also allows a nonreciprocity response over a wide bandwidth by increasing the losses while keeping perfect nonreciprocity at resonance. The robustness against loss indicates that our scheme is advantageous in the implementation of nonreciprocal optical devices with high performance.

description: Background: Food insecurity, defined as inconsistent food access owing to cost, leads to poor health. Objective: To test whether a medically tailored meal delivery program improved dietary quality in individuals with type 2 diabetes and food insecurity. Design: Randomized cross-over clinical trial. Participants: Forty-four adults with diabetes, hemoglobin A1c > 8.0%, and food insecurity (defined as at least one positive item on the two-item “Hunger Vital Sign”). Intervention: In the Community Servings: Food as Medicine for Diabetes cross-over clinical trial (NCT02426138), conducted from June 2015 to July 2017, we randomly assigned the order of “on-meals” (home delivery of 10 meals/week for 12 weeks delivered by Community Servings, a non-profit organization) and “off-meals” (12 weeks usual care and a Choose MyPlate healthy eating brochure) periods. Main Measures: The primary outcome was Healthy Eating Index 2010 score (HEI), assessed by three 24-h food recalls in both periods. Higher HEI score (range 0–100; clinically significant difference 5) represents better dietary quality. Secondary outcomes included food insecurity and self-reported hypoglycemia. Key Results: Mean “on-meal” HEI score was 71.3 (SD 7.5) while mean “off-meal” HEI score was 39.9 (SD 7.8) (difference 31.4 points, p < 0.0001). Participants experienced improvements in almost all sub-categories of HEI score, with increased consumption of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains and decreased solid fats, alcohol, and added sugar consumption. Participants also reported lower food insecurity (42% “on-meal” vs. 62% “off-meal,” p = 0.047), less hypoglycemia (47% “on-meal” vs. 64% “off-meal,” p = 0.03), and fewer days where mental health interfered with quality of life (5.65 vs. 9.59 days out of 30, p = 0.03). Conclusions: For food-insecure individuals with diabetes, medically tailored meals improved dietary quality and food insecurity and reduced hypoglycemia. Longer-term studies should evaluate effects on diabetes control (e.g., hemoglobin A1c) and patient-reported outcomes (e.g., well-being).

description: Background: The diet quality of adults living in the United States has improved overtime. We aim to determine whether diet quality among adults with diabetes mellitus has changed over time, and to examine trends in socioeconomic disparities in diet quality. Methods: Repeated cross-sectional analysis of eight National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycles (1999-2000 through 2013-2014). We included 5882 adult participants (age 20 or older) with diabetes mellitus (type 1 or 2) who completed 24-h dietary recalls. Diet quality was measured by the Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI) score (range 0-100, higher scores indicate better diet quality). We tested whether there were differences in diet quality across education, income, and food security categories, and whether any differences changed over time, using weighted linear regression models accounting for the complex survey design and adjusted for age, gender, and race/ethnicity. Results: Twenty nine percent of US adults with diabetes had less than a high school diploma, 17% had income < 100% of federal poverty level, and 15% reported food insecurity. Average adjusted HEI score increased from 49.4 to 52.4 over the study period (p for trend = 0.003). We observed differences in HEI between high and low education (4.1, 95% CI 3.0-5.3), high and low income (3.7, 95%CI 2.4-5.0) and food secure relative to food insecure (2.1, 95% CI 0.8-3.3). These differences did not improve over time for education (p = 0.56), income (p = 0.65) or food security (p = 0.39) categories. Conclusions: Diet quality for adults with diabetes in the U.S. has improved overall; however, substantial disparities exist and have not improved. A concerted effort to improve diet quality in vulnerable groups may be needed.

description: L’inclusion scolaire est un terme qui revient souvent dans la littérature pédagogique de ces dernières années et son importance prend chaque année de plus en plus de place dans les débats politiques, ceci malgré le fait que sa définition ne soit pas clairement et strictement arrêtée pour tous les acteurs concernés. Il en va de même de l’appellation " d’élèves à besoins particuliers ", indissociable de cette thématique. Dans ce travail de mémoire, nous avons donc dans un premier temps, tenté de définir ces deux termes via une partie théorique. Dans un second temps, nous avons cherché à connaître la perception que se font les enseignants d’éducation physique et sportive du canton de Vaud de ces deux termes. Pour ce faire, nous avons analysé les résultats des réponses, d’un panel d’enseignants d’EPS, à notre questionnaire permettant une approche quantitative descriptive du sujet. Finalement dans un troisième temps, l’interprétation de ces résultats nous a permis de valider ou d’invalider nos trois hypothèses de départ. Celles-ci s’articulant autour de la formation de base de l’enseignement d’EPS, des bénéfices ou/et difficultés générés par l’inclusion scolaire en EPS et les éventuels changements et investissements émanant de cette inclusion.
Diabetes and the Built Environment: Evidence and Policies

description: Purpose of Review: To explore the relationship between the built environment and type 2 diabetes, considering both risk factors and policies to reduce risk. The built environment refers to the physical characteristics of the areas in which people live including buildings, streets, open spaces, and infrastructure. Recent Findings: A review of current literature suggests an association between the built environment and type 2 diabetes, likely driven by two key pathways—physical activity and the food environment. Other hypothesized mechanisms linking the built environment and type 2 diabetes include housing policy, but evidence in these areas is underdeveloped. Summary: Policies designed to enhance the built environment for diabetes risk reduction are mechanistically plausible, but as of yet, little direct evidence supports their effectiveness in reducing in type 2 diabetes risk. Future work should rigorously evaluate policies meant to reduce type 2 diabetes via the built environment.
Detecting Anomalies among Practice Sites Within Multicenter Trials: An Application of Transportability Methods to the TOPCAT and ACCORD BP Trials

description: Background: Recent multisite trials reveal striking heterogeneities in results between trial sites. These may be because of population differences indicating different treatment benefits among different types of participants or site anomalies, such as failures to adhere to study protocols that could negatively affect study validity. We sought to determine whether a new data analysis strategy - transportability methods - could suggest site anomalies not readily identified through standard methods. Methods and Results: We applied transportability methods to 2 large, multicenter cardiovascular disease treatment trials: the TOPCAT trial (Treatment of Preserved Cardiac Function Heart Failure With an Aldosterone Antagonist; n=3445) comparing spironolactone to placebo for heart failure (for which site anomalies were suspected) and the ACCORD BP trial (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes-Blood Pressure; n=4733) comparing intensive-to-standard blood pressure treatment (for which site anomalies were not suspected). The transportability methods give expected results by standardizing from one site to another using data on participant covariates. The difference between the expected and observed results was assessed using calibration tests to identify whether treatment-effect differences between sites could be explained by participant population characteristics. Standard regression methods did not detect heterogeneities in TOPCAT between Russia/Georgia study sites suspected of study protocol violations and sites in the Americas (P=0.12 for difference in primary cardiovascular outcome; P=0.20 for difference in total mortality). The transportability methods, however, detected the difference between Russia/Georgia sites and sites in the Americas (P<0.001) and found that measured participant characteristics did not explain the between-site discrepancies. The transport methods found no such discrepancies between sites in ACCORD BP, suggesting participant characteristics explained between-site differences. Conclusions: Transportability methods may be superior to standard approaches for detecting anomalies within multicenter randomized trials and assist data monitoring boards to determine whether important treatment-effect heterogeneities can be attributed to participant differences or potentially to site performance differences requiring further investigation.

description: J’ai pu constater que ce que nous transmettons aux enfants dès leur plus jeune âge les influence sur le long terme. Les études sur le cerveau montrent que sa plasticité est la plus grande chez les tout petits et que c’est dans les premières années de vie que le plus grand nombre de connexions se mettent en place. Il est donc normal que la façon dont les adultes se comportent avec elles·eux à cette période ait une forte influence sur leur construction. La gestion des émotions est un sujet qui me tient particulièrement à coeur, tant je peux observer que les tempêtes émotionnelles sont difficiles à gérer pour les enfants, dans ma vie privée comme lors de mes stages. Phénomène également présent chez les adultes. Cette recherche vise à répondre à la question suivante : « Qu’est-ce qui influence la manière de gérer les émotions à l’adolescence et comment y réagir en tant qu’enseignant·e ? ». Pour cela, j’ai utilisé un questionnaire pour les adolescent·e·s et un pour leurs parents, afin de corréler leurs réponses et d’obtenir des profils d’élèves en fonction de la qualité du sommeil, de la gestion des émotions, du modèle éducatif (système de punition) et de l’autonomie. Les résultats ont montré que l’accompagnement des émotions par les parents est corrélé à une meilleure gestion des émotions chez l’adolescent·e. Concernant l’accompagnement au sommeil, il a un effet positif majoritairement chez les filles. La qualité du sommeil montre une forte influence sur les émotions ressenties. Et enfin, le modèle éducatif a aussi une influence sur la gestion émotionnelle. J’ai pu sur la base des résultats obtenus formuler quelques recommandations à l’usage de l’enseignement en classe.

description: Linking individuals to community resources in order to help meet health-related social needs, such as food, medications, or transportation, may improve clinical outcomes. However, little is known about the mechanisms whereby such linkage interventions might improve health. The authors conducted a mixed-methods analysis consisting of outcomes from a prospective cohort study of a linkage intervention and a qualitative analysis of case records from participants. The cohort study included intervention participants who first enrolled between December 2014 and March 2015. Participants were excluded if they could not complete the assessment because of illness or language. The authors examined changes in cost-related medication underuse (CRMU), transportation barriers, and food insecurity (FI). For the qualitative analysis, a random sample of 80 participants was selected for electronic health record review - 40 cases who showed clinical improvement (responders) and 40 cases who did not (nonresponders). Themes were extracted by 3 reviewers guided by the immersion/crystallization approach. For the cohort study, 141 individuals were included 138 (97.9%) completed follow-up. Comparing baseline to follow-up, there were significant reductions in the prevalence of CRMU (from 44.2% to 39.1%, P = .003) and transportation barriers (from 46.3% to 30.2%, P = .001), but not FI (from 40.4% to 38.2%, P = .73). For the qualitative study, emergent themes that helped differentiate responders and nonresponders included acuity of need, resource availability/access, and adequacy of the resource utilized. CRMU and transportation barriers may be important mechanisms by which linkage interventions improve health-related social needs. Patient-centered themes can help guide intervention improvements.

description: Most of the synthesis literature has focused on studying how to synthesize a strategy to fulfill a task. This task is a duty for the agent. In this paper, we argue that intelligent agents should also be equipped with rights, that is, tasks that the agent itself can choose to fulfill (e.g., the right of recharging the battery). The agent should be able to maintain these rights while acting for its duties. We study this issue in the context of LTLf synthesis: we give duties and rights in terms of LTLf specifications, and synthesize a suitable strategy to achieve the duties that can be modified on-the-fly to achieve also the rights, if the agent chooses to do so. We show that handling rights does not make synthesis substantially more difficult, although it requires a more sophisticated solution concept than standard LTLf synthesis. We also extend our results to the case in which further duties and rights are given to the agent while already executing.

description: Objectives Interest in linking patients with unmet social needs to area-level resources, such as food pantries and employment centres in one's ZIP code, is growing. However, whether the presence of these resources is associated with better health outcomes is unclear. We sought to determine if area-level resources, defined as organisations that assist individuals with meeting healthrelated social needs, are associated with lower levels of cardiometabolic risk factors. Design Cross-sectional. Setting Data were collected in a primary care network in eastern Massachusetts in 2015. Participants and primary and secondary outcome measures 123 355 participants were included. The primary outcome was body mass index (BMI). The secondary outcomes were systolic blood pressure (SBP), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). All participants were included in BMI analyses. Participants with hypertension were included in SBP analyses. Participants with an indication for cholesterol lowering were included in LDL analyses and participants with diabetes mellitus were included in HbA1c analyses. We used a random forest-based machine-learning algorithm to identify types of resources associated with study outcomes. We then tested the association of ZIP-level selected resource types (three for BMI, two each for SBP and HbA1c analyses and one for LDL analyses) with these outcomes, using multilevel models to account for individual-level, clinic-level and other area-level factors. Results Resources associated with lower BMI included more food resources (-0.08 kg/m2 per additional resource, 95% CI-0.13 to-0.03 kg/m2), employment resources (-0.05 kg/m2, 95% CI-0.11 to-0.002 kg/m2) and nutrition resources (-0.07 kg/m2, 95% CI-0.13 to-0.01 kg/m2). No area resources were associated with differences in SBP, LDL or HbA1c. Conclusions Access to specific local resources is associated with better BMI. Efforts to link patients to area resources, and to improve the resources landscape within communities, may help reduce BMI and improve population health.

description: Ce travail s’intéresse à la quantité de mouvement réalisée par des élèves de 13-14 ans en cours d’éducation physique. En lien avec le temps d’apprentissage, la quantité de mouvement est un indicateur d’engagement chez les élèves. L’objectif de l’enseignant d’éducation physique est de placer ses élèves dans des situations propices à l’apprentissage. Pour apprendre, il est nécessaire de pratiquer, c’est pourquoi la quantité de mouvement est un bon indicateur de l’engagement et probablement aussi de l’apprentissage. Plusieurs facteurs peuvent venir modifier cette quantité de mouvement : le sexe de l’élève, son profil sportif, son niveau socio-économique, la méthode d’enseignement et probablement d’autres encore. Dans cette étude, nous avons remarqué que les élèves se retrouvent engagés dans les activités lorsque celles-ci sont des situations ludiques et largement éloignées des répétitions de gestes techniques de manière individuelle. Dans ce travail, nous avons relevé la quantité de pas à l’aide de podomètres de deux classes de 9VG lors de cinq leçons d’éducation physique dans deux collèges différents. Les hypothèses qui mentionnaient un grand écart entre les plus sportifs et les moins sportifs de chaque classe se vérifient tout comme l’hypothèse qui laissait penser que les situations de jeux sont celles qui engagent le plus tous les élèves. Après une introduction théorique sur l'éducation physique et le temps d'apprentissage en EPS et la quantité de mouvement, la présentation de l’étude expose la problématique ainsi que les hypothèses. Puis, la méthode de relevé des données grâce aux podomètres et la méthode d’observation à l’aide de la vidéo sont explicitées. Les résultats sont, ensuite, présentés sous forme de tableaux et décrits selon différents axes. Puis la partie discussion vient apporter des compléments d’explication et d’analyse sur les résultats obtenus.

description: La capacité de faire des liens entre une langue que l’on apprend et une langue que l’on maîtrise déjà est un élément clé pour avancer plus rapidement et plus sûrement dans l‘apprentissage de celles-ci et pour tendre vers e plurilinguisme. Les enseignants de langues, anciennes ou modernes, devraient toujours garder à l’esprit cet élément clé. De plus, au-delà de la langue pure, il est également question de culture. Deux éléments qui sont indissociables et indispensables à la bonne compréhension l’une de l’autre. Dans cette étude, nous avons mis en avant l’importance de la culture gréco-romaine dans l’apprentissage du français et tout particulièrement de ses expressions. Qui ne connaît pas la fameuse Méduse ne perçoit pas toute l’ampleur de l’expression « être médusé ». Quiconque n’est pas au courant de la malheureuse histoire de Narcisse ne peut comprendre les subtilités du terme « narcissique ». Lors d’un pré-test, nous avons évalué la connaissance de huit expressions et de leur origine auprès de trente-sept élèves de 12 à 15 ans. Nous avons ensuite créé une séquence de huit fois dix minutes intervenant au début de chaque cours pour faire découvrir les expressions au travers d’anecdotes historiques ou de récits mythologiques. Enfin, après cet enseignement, nos élèves ont rempli un post-test évaluant leurs connaissances et leur capacité d’utilisation de ces expressions. Même si cette approche décloisonnée de l’apprentissage du français n’a pas eu l’effet escompté sur la motivation des élèves, nous pouvons toutefois affirmer que la connaissance de la culture gréco-romaine, qu’elle soit mythologique ou historique, est un avantage réel pour la compréhension du français, en particulier de certaines de ses expressions. Si les élèves ne les utilisent que rarement, la plupart de ces expressions sont courantes dans nos médias et il est donc intéressant de pouvoir les comprendre dans leurs moindres nuances.

description: This three-year research project began in January 2014 and investigated whether, during the Victorian period, the professions formed a distinct self-sustaining social group with its own mores and values. The project looked at 16,000 individuals drawn from census data for Alnwick, Brighton, Bristol, Dundee, Greenock, Leeds, Merthyr Tydfil, Morpeth, and Winchester. The research project was funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council and was based at the Universities of Oxford and Northumbria.

description: To formulate the zero modes in a finite-size system with spontaneous breakdown of symmetries in quantum field theory is not trivial, for in the naive Bogoliubov theory, one encounters difficulties such as phase diffusion, the absence of a definite criterion for determining the ground state, and infrared divergences. A new interacting zero mode formulation that has been proposed for systems with a single zero mode to avoid these difficulties is extended to general systems with multiple zero modes. It naturally and definitely gives the interactions among the quantized zero modes, the consequences of which can be observed experimentally. In this paper, as a typical example, we consider an atomic Bose-Einstein condensed system with a dark soliton that contains two zero modes corresponding to spontaneous breakdown of the U(1) gauge and translational symmetries. Then we evaluate the standard deviations of the zero mode operators and see how the mutual interaction between the two zero modes affects them.

description: In Reply We appreciate the thoughtful letter from Rediger and Miles regarding our study and offer a few additional points. Given the importance of nutrition for health, we share the view that a broad range of nutrition options should be available to patients. In our view, medically tailored meal programs are one important tool that we hope becomes more widely available.

description: Importance: Recent US health care reforms incentivize improved population health outcomes and primary care functions. It remains unclear how much improving primary care physician supply can improve population health, independent of other health care and socioeconomic factors. Objectives: To identify primary care physician supply changes across US counties from 2005-2015 and associations between such changes and population mortality. Design, Setting, and Participants: This epidemiological study evaluated US population data and individual-level claims data linked to mortality from 2005 to 2015 against changes in primary care and specialist physician supply from 2005 to 2015. Data from 3142 US counties, 7144 primary care service areas, and 306 hospital referral regions were used to investigate the association of primary care physician supply with changes in life expectancy and cause-specific mortality after adjustment for health care, demographic, socioeconomic, and behavioral covariates. Analysis was performed from March to July 2018. Main Outcomes and Measures: Age-standardized life expectancy, cause-specific mortality, and restricted mean survival time. Results: Primary care physician supply increased from 196014 physicians in 2005 to 204419 in 2015. Owing to disproportionate losses of primary care physicians in some counties and population increases, the mean (SD) density of primary care physicians relative to population size decreased from 46.6 per 100000 population (95% CI, 0.0-114.6 per 100000 population) to 41.4 per 100000 population (95% CI, 0.0-108.6 per 100000 population), with greater losses in rural areas. In adjusted mixed-effects regressions, every 10 additional primary care physicians per 100000 population was associated with a 51.5-day increase in life expectancy (95% CI, 29.5-73.5 days; 0.2% increase), whereas an increase in 10 specialist physicians per 100000 population corresponded to a 19.2-day increase (95% CI, 7.0-31.3 days). A total of 10 additional primary care physicians per 100000 population was associated with reduced cardiovascular, cancer, and respiratory mortality by 0.9% to 1.4%. Analyses at different geographic levels, using instrumental variable regressions, or at the individual level found similar benefits associated with primary care supply. Conclusions and Relevance: Greater primary care physician supply was associated with lower mortality, but per capita supply decreased between 2005 and 2015. Programs to explicitly direct more resources to primary care physician supply may be important for population health.

description: Le but de ce travail a été, dans un premier temps, de faire un état des lieux sur la question de la motivation et de l’engagement des élèves dans une leçon d’EPS, non seulement en fonction de la mixité ou non du groupe classe, mais aussi de la nature de la tâche. Dans un deuxième temps, nous avons tenté d’exploiter les résultats afin de proposer plusieurs pistes éventuelles quant à l’augmentation de l’engagement et de la motivation en EPS, peu importe le cas de figure. Pour cela nous avons fait passer des questionnaires dans nos classes de stage en novembre 2017 au sein de l’établissement secondaire d’Orbe et environs. Le questionnaire comportait des questions visant à connaître la préférence d’une tâche (ACP ou SCP) des élèves, suivant qu’ils se trouvent en classe mixte ou non mixte. Ensuite, nous leur avons laissé le choix de sélectionner quatre activités parmi 8 (5 SCP et 3 ACP) concrètes afin de vérifier leurs préférences aux questions initiales. Nous demandions enfin de choisir plusieurs facteurs induisant une hausse ou au contraire une baisse de motivation au sein d’un groupe mixte ou non. Cette étude présente donc les préférences des activités physiques pour les jeunes en fonction du mode de groupement. Celle-ci nous donne quelques résultats intéressants, notamment le fait que chaque sexe change de tâche suivant qu’il se retrouve en EPS mixte ou non mixte. De plus, cette recherche nous a aussi révélé que les filles préfèrent une activité SCP en classe mixte d’EPS, et cela même si elles pratiquent un sport à tendance ACP en dehors du cadre scolaire (89%). Autre point intéressant, les facteurs qu’ils ont sélectionnés comme influençant leur motivation varient en fonction du sexe ; et lorsqu’ils optent pour le même facteur, les raisons sous-jacentes ne sont pas les mêmes.

description: We prove a Voronoi formula for coefficients of a large class of $L$-functions including Maass cusp forms, Rankin-Selberg convolutions, and certain isobaric sums. Our proof is based on the functional equations of $L$-functions twisted by Dirichlet characters and does not directly depend on automorphy. Hence it has wider application than previous proofs. The key ingredient is the construction of a double Dirichlet series.
