description: Introduction Notre étude concerne l’exposition du cristallin de l’opérateur en neuroradiologie interventionnelle en pédiatrie, du fait de l’utilisation d’un système de radioscopie biplan et de sa proximité avec le patient. L’opérateur ayant participé à notre étude portait systématiquement des lunettes plombées, nous avons testé l’efficacité de différentes paires. Matériel et méthode Nous avons mesuré, durant 12 interventions similaires, la dose au cristallin d’un neuroradiologue à l’aide de 36 TLD placés sur son bonnet chirurgical. Afin de déterminer l’efficacité des lunettes plombées, nous avons effectué des mesures reproduisant les conditions cliniques. Un détecteur Unfors NED a été placé sur l’oeil gauche d’un fantôme représentant l’opérateur. Quatre paires de lunettes plombées ont été sélectionnées en vue de tester différents paramètres. Résultats Nous avons obtenu un équivalent de dose individuel Hp(0.07) de 457 μSv pour le cristallin de l’oeil gauche et de 268 μSv pour le cristallin de l’oeil droit. La dose au cristallin peut être réduite d’environ un facteur 3 avec l’utilisation de lunettes plombées adaptées. Le modèle de lunettes le plus couvrant atténue jusqu’à 50% de plus qu’un modèle moins couvrant. L’ajout d’une protection latérale permet d’augmenter l’atténuation jusqu’à 13% comparé au même modèle sans protection latérale. Conclusion Nous avons estimé une dose annuelle à 2.2 mSv pour l’oeil le plus exposé. Cette contribution est non négligeable, sachant que la pédiatrie ne représente qu’une partie des examens réalisés. Le choix des lunettes plombées influence la protection du cristallin. Un modèle de lunettes de grande taille offre une meilleure protection qu’un modèle moins couvrant mais muni d’une protection latérale.

description: The shift in focus towards searches for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) employing model-independent Effective Field Theory (EFT) methods necessitates a rigorous approach to matching to guarantee the validity of the obtained results and constraints. The limits on the leading dimension-six EFT effects can be rather inaccurate for LHC searches that suffer from large uncertainties while exploring an extensive energy range. Similarly, precise measurements can, in principle, test the subleading effects of the operator expansion. In this work, we present an algorithmic approach to automatise matching computations for dimension-eight operators for generic scalar extensions with proper implementation of equations of motion. We devise a step-by-step procedure to obtain the dimension-eight Wilson coefficients (WCs) in a non-redundant basis to arrive at complete matching results. We apply this formalism to a range of scalar extensions of the SM and provide tree-level and loop-suppressed results. Finally, we discuss the relevance of the dimension-eight operators for a range of phenomenological analyses, particularly focusing on Higgs and electroweak physics.

description: L’imagerie a pris, depuis ces dernières années, une grande place dans les investigations médico-légales. Au CURML, Centre Universitaire Romand de Médecine Légale, chaque corps reçu, passe d’office un scanner natif. Malgré l’évolution considérable des techniques multi-coupes, il persiste encore quelques lacunes dans la qualité d’image obtenue des diverses pathologies pouvant être à l’origine du décès. Dans notre cas, nous nous sommes intéressées à la visualisation des plaques athérosclérotiques au niveau des artères coronaires qui sont la cause principale des décès d’origine cardio-vasculaire dans les pays industrialisés. L’objectif de notre travail sera d’améliorer la visualisation de ces plaques en changeant la tension et le type de reconstruction appliquée au protocole du scanner préexistant et de la combiner à l’angiographie post mortem. En effet, cette dernière permet une meilleure appréciation du système vasculaire par l’injection et le remplissage optimal des vaisseaux avec un produit de contraste spécifique employé en médecine légale. Les images obtenues seront évaluées de manière objective grâce au calcul du CNR, et également de manière subjective par l’intermédiaire d’un questionnaire soumis à différents professionnels du CURML. En considérant l’ensemble de notre échantillon de six observateurs, nos résultats montrent que la tension de 120 kV est préférée, et que la reconstruction ASIR 100 est la moins appréciée. Cependant, si nous tenons compte des différents biais de l’expérience et en analysant ces résultats, il en ressort que la tension de 80 kV permet une meilleure visualisation de la plaque d’athérome. Il en résulte également, une nette préférence des observateurs pour la FBP et ASIR 50.

description: High temperature superconductivity in cuprates arises from an electronic state that remains poorly understood. We report the observation of a related electronic state in a non-cuprate material Sr2IrO4 in which the unique cuprate Fermiology is largely reproduced. Upon surface electron doping through in situ deposition of alkali-metal atoms, angle-resolved photoemission spectra of Sr2IrO4 display disconnected segments of zero-energy states, known as Fermi arcs, and a gap as large as 80 meV. Its evolution toward a normal metal phase with a closed Fermi surface as a function of doping and temperature parallels that in the cuprates. Our result suggests that Sr2IrO4 is a useful model system for comparison to the cuprates.

Moderate Correlation between the Accretion Disk and Jet Power in a Large Sample of Fermi Blazars

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: We present the results of studying the accretion disk vs jet power for a large fraction of all the blazars detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope. The disk power is inferred from the emission line luminosities obtained from published results. As indicators of jet power, we use low frequency radio luminosity from the extended jet, maximum speed of radio knots observed in the VLBA monitoring of the pc-scale jets, kinetic energy of electrons in the jet deduced from the best-fit theoretical models of their spectral energy distribution, and gamma-ray luminosity with and without beaming correction. We obtain a significant correlation in most of those cases. However, we find that the correlations are often driven by the common redshift dependence of the compared quantities. In order to remove the redshift bias and probe the intrinsic correlation between the disk and jet power, we compute the partial correlation coefficient as well as the correlation in small redshift bins, and find that the intrinsic disk-jet correlation is still present but weaker. In the cases, in which the common redshift dependence does not affect the result, we find that blazars do not exhibit high jet power for low disk luminosities while there are both high and low jet power for high disk luminosities. This result indicates that a powerful disk is a necessary but not sufficient condition to produce a powerful jet.

description: We propose a new method for improving the presentation of subtitles in video (e.g. TV and movies). With conventional subtitles, the viewer has to constantly look away from the main viewing area to read the subtitles at the bottom of the screen, which disrupts the viewing experience and causes unnecessary eyestrain. Our method places on-screen subtitles next to the respective speakers to allow the viewer to follow the visual content while simultaneously reading the subtitles. We use novel identification algorithms to detect the speakers based on audio and visual information. Then the placement of the subtitles is determined using global optimization. A comprehensive usability study indicated that our subtitle placement method outperformed both conventional fixed-position subtitling and another previous dynamic subtitling method in terms of enhancing the overall viewing experience and reducing eyestrain.

description: We derive the hard functions for all 2->2 processes in massless QCD up to next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in the strong coupling constant. By employing the known one- and two-loop helicity amplitudes for these processes, we obtain analytic expressions for the ultraviolet and infrared finite, minimally subtracted hard functions, which are matrices in color space. These hard functions will be useful in carrying out higher-order resummations in processes such as dijet and highly energetic top-quark pair production by means of soft-collinear effective theory methods.

description: Spacetime emergence from entanglement proposes an alternative to quantizing gravity and typically derives a notion of distance based on the amount of mutual information shared across sub-systems. Albeit promising, this program still faces challenges to describe simple physical systems, such as a maximally entangled Bell pair that is taken apart while preserving its entanglement. We propose a solution to this problem: a reminder that quantum systems can have multiple sectors of independent degrees of freedom, and that each sector can be entangled. Thus, while one sector can decohere, and decrease the amount of total mutual information within the system, another sector, e.g. spin, can remain entangled. We illustrate this with a toy model, showing that only within the particles' momentum uncertainty there can be considerably more entanglement than in the spin sector for a single Bell pair. We finish by introducing some considerations about how spacetime could be tested in the lab in the future.

description: Motivated by machine learning problems over large data sets and distributed optimization over networks, we develop and analyze a new method called incremental Newton method for minimizing the sum of a large number of strongly convex functions. We show that our method is globally convergent for a variable stepsize rule. We further show that under a gradient growth condition, convergence rate is linear for both variable and constant stepsize rules. By means of an example, we show that without the gradient growth condition, incremental Newton method cannot achieve linear convergence. Our analysis can be extended to study other incremental methods: in particular, we obtain a linear convergence rate result for the incremental Gauss-Newton algorithm under a variable stepsize rule.

description: The recent ubiquitous adoption of remote conferencing has been accompanied by omnipresent frustration with distorted or otherwise unclear voice communication. Audio enhancement can compensate for low-quality input signals from, for example, small true wireless earbuds, by applying noise suppression techniques. Such processing relies on voice activity detection (VAD) with low latency and the added capability of discriminating the wearer's voice from others - a task of significant computational complexity. The tight energy budget of devices as small as modern earphones, however, requires any system attempting to tackle this problem to do so with minimal power and processing overhead, while not relying on speaker-specific voice samples and training due to usability concerns. This paper presents the design and implementation of a custom research platform for low-power wireless earbuds based on novel, commercial, MEMS bone-conduction microphones. Such microphones can record the wearer's speech with much greater isolation, enabling personalized voice activity detection and further audio enhancement applications. Furthermore, the paper accurately evaluates a proposed low-power personalized speech detection algorithm based on bone conduction data and a recurrent neural network running on the implemented research platform. This algorithm is compared to an approach based on traditional microphone input. The performance of the bone conduction system, achieving detection of speech within 12.8ms at an accuracy of 95\% is evaluated. Different SoC choices are contrasted, with the final implementation based on the cutting-edge Ambiq Apollo 4 Blue SoC achieving 2.64mW average power consumption at 14uJ per inference, reaching 43h of battery life on a miniature 32mAh li-ion cell and without duty cycling.

description: Introduction La brûlure est l’une des expériences des plus douloureuses que l'être humain puisse vivre et la gestion de la douleur reste insuffisante. La douleur peut induire des troubles psychologiques graves, dont l'anxiété. Le patient brûlé risque d'entrer dans un cercle vicieux, où l'anxiété entretient la douleur et vice-versa. Ce processus peut entraver les séances de physiothérapie et tend donc vers une diminution d'efficacité en terme de mobilité et de fonction. Objectif Evaluer les effets de l'hypnose sur la douleur et l'anxiété chez un patient brûlé et les mettre en lien avec notre prise en charge physiothérapeutique. Méthodologie La recherche de documentation dans les bases de données PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, PEDro et Kinedoc a été effectuée entre septembre 2014 et janvier 2015. Les articles définitifs ont été sélectionnés sur la base de nos critères d'inclusion et d'exclusion, en se référant au titre, résumé, puis au texte intégral. Résultats Nous avons sélectionné quatre articles. Tous mesurent la diminution de la douleur par l'hypnose, et seulement trois la diminution de l'anxiété. Chaque étude traitée a bénéficié d'un groupe comparaison différent et les modalités d'application l'étaient aussi. Seulement deux articles montraient une diminution statistiquement significative de la douleur par l'hypnose. Discussion L'exhaustivité, la complexité ainsi que les limites du sujet étudié nous obligent à rester vigilantes quant à l'établissement d'hypothèses cliniques. Conclusion Notre objectif de recherche a été atteint par la mise en évidence de la rupture du cercle vicieux douleur-anxiété grâce à l’hypnose, pour une prise en charge physiothérapeutique plus efficace.

description: We present spatially, temporally, and spectrally resolved narrow- and broad-band x-ray images of polar-direct-drive (PDD) implosions on OMEGA. These self-emission images were obtained during the deceleration phase and bang time using several multiple monochromatic x-ray imaging instruments fielded along two or three quasi-orthogonal lines-of-sight including equatorial and polar views. The instruments recorded images based on K-shell lines from a titanium tracer located in the shell as well as continuum emission. These observations constitute the first such data obtained for PDD implosions. The image data show features attributed to zero-order hydrodynamics. Equatorial view synthetic images obtained from post-processing a 2D hydrodynamic simulation are consistent with the experimental observation. Polar view images show a pentagonal pattern that correlates with the PDD laser illumination used on OMEGA, thus revealing a 3D aspect of these experiments not previously observed.

Parametric Korteweg--de Vries hierarchy and hyperelliptic sigma functions

description: In this paper we define the parametric Korteweg-de Vries hierarchy that depends on an infinite set of graded parameters $a = (a_4,a_6,\dots)$. We show that, for any genus $g$, the Klein hyperelliptic function $\wp_{1,1}(t,λ)$ defined on the basis of the multidimensional sigma function $σ(t, λ)$, where $t = (t_1, t_3,\dots, t_{2g-1})$, $λ= (λ_4, λ_6,\dots, λ_{4 g + 2})$, determines a solution of this hierarchy, where the parameters $a$ are given as polynomials in the parameters $λ$ of the sigma function. The proof uses results on the family of operators introduced by V. M. Buchstaber and S. Yu. Shorina. This family consists of $g$ third-order differential operators of $g$ variables. Such families are defined for all $g \geqslant 1$, the operators in each of them commute in pairs and also commute with the Schrödinger operator. In this paper, we describe the relationship between these families and the parametric Korteweg--de Vries hierarchy. A similar infinite family of third-order operators on an infinite set of variables is constructed. The results obtained are extended to the case of such a family.

description: Supermassive black holes in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) undergo a wide range of accretion rates, which lead to diversity of appearance. We consider the effects of anisotropic radiation from accretion disks on the broad-line region (BLR), from the Shakura-Sunyaev regime to slim disks with super-Eddington accretion rates. The geometrically thick funnel of the inner region of slim disks produces strong self-shadowing effects that lead to very strong anisotropy of the radiation field. We demonstrate that the degree of anisotropy of the radiation fields grows with increasing accretion rate. As a result of this anisotropy, BLR clouds receive different spectral energy distributions depending on their location relative to the disk, resulting in diverse observational appearance of the BLR. We show that the self-shadowing of the inner parts of the disk naturally produces two dynamically distinct regions of the BLR, depending on accretion rate. These two regions manifest themselves as kinematically distinct components of the broad H$β$ line profile with different line widths and fluxes, which jointly account for the Lorentzian profile generally observed in narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies. In the time domain, these two components are expected reverberate with different time lags with respect to the varying ionizing continuum, depending on the accretion rate and the viewing angle of the observer. The diverse appearance of the BLR due to the anisotropic ionizing energy source can be tested by reverberation mapping of H$β$ and other broad emission lines (e.g., \feii), providing a new tool to diagnose the structure and dynamics of the BLR. Other observational consequences of our model are also explored.

description: The Higgs self coupling measurement is quite essential for determining the shape of the Higgs potential and nature of the Higgs boson. We propose the di-Higgs plus jet final states at hadron colliders to increase the discovery sensitivity of the Higgs self coupling at the low invariant mass region. Our simulation indicates that the allowed region of the Higgs self coupling would be further narrowed from $[-1.5,6.7]$ from the most recent ATLAS report down to $[0.5, 1.7]$. Furthermore, we find negative Higgs self couplings would be disfavored beyond $2σ$ confidence level at a future 100TeV collider with the help of this signal.

Parallèlement, il a été démontré que les parents d’enfants paralysés cérébraux ont une moins bonne qualité de vie que les enfants sains. Dans cette revue, les deux thématiques sont croisées. But Le but de cette revue est de déterminer les influences bio-psycho-sociales de l’approche centrée sur la famille pour les habitants d’un même foyer entourant un enfant paralysé cérébral. Méthodologie Revue de la littérature mixte avec devis qualitatif. Recherche sur les bases de données PubMed, CINHAL, PEDro et PsychInfo. Résultats Les cinq articles retenus ont mis en évidence quatre thèmes principaux. Il en ressort que le thérapeute tienne une place importante dans la prise en charge de l’enfant paralysé cérébral. Si l’approche est bien effectuée, les parents vivent une expérience bénéfique ; leurs ressentis sont améliorés et leurs compétences sont approfondies. Toutefois, elle pourrait au contraire entraîner des effets délétères sur la famille. Discussion L’approche centrée sur la famille permet d’établir entre parents et thérapeutes, des stratégies d’intervention. Elles demandent de la disponibilité et de l’adaptabilité de la part de ceux-ci. Conclusion Cette approche est bénéfique pour l’enfant et son entourage. Il paraît intéressant qu’elle soit développée dans tous les services de soins pédiatriques, permettant ainsi d’améliorer la qualité de vie des parents.

description: Cosmic variance limits the accuracy of cosmological N-body simulations, introducing bias in statistics such as the power spectrum, halo mass function, or the cosmic shear. We provide new methods to measure and reduce the effect of cosmic variance in existing and new simulations. We ran pairs of simulations using phase-shifted initial conditions with matching amplitudes. We set the initial amplitudes of the Fourier modes to ensure that the average power spectrum of the pair is equal to the cosmic mean power spectrum from linear theory. The average power spectrum of a pair of such simulations remains consistent with the estimated nonlinear spectra of the state-of-the-art methods even at late times. We also show that the effect of cosmic variance on any analysis involving a cosmological simulation can be estimated using the complementary pair of the original simulation. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our novel technique, we simulated a complementary pair of the original Millennium run and quantified the degree to which cosmic variance affected its the power spectrum. The average power spectrum of the original and complementary Millennium simulation was able to directly resolve the baryon acoustic oscillation features.

description: We study the impact of a temperature-dependent curvaton decay rate on the primordial curvature perturbation generated in the curvaton scenario. Using the familiar sudden decay approximation, we obtain an analytical expression for the curvature perturbation after the decay of the curvaton. We then investigate numerically the evolution of the background and of the perturbations during the decay. We first show that the instantaneous transfer coefficient, related to the curvaton energy fraction at the decay, can be extended into a more general parameter, which depends on the net transfer of the curvaton energy into radiation energy or, equivalently, on the total entropy ratio after the complete curvaton decay. We then compute the curvature perturbation and compare this result with the sudden decay approximation prediction.

description: Introduction : L’anxiété est le symptôme le plus présent dans toutes les maladies psychiatriques (Kapsambelis, 2011 et Anthony et al., 2006). Au vu de son importance, cette revue a pour but d’évaluer les effets sur l’anxiété de différentes interventions proposées par des physiothérapeutes. La discussion porte également sur la place du physiothérapeute en psychiatrie. Méthodologie : Les bases de données Cinahl, Kinedoc, PEDro, Pilots, PsycINFO (OvidSP) et PubMed ont été consultées entre septembre 2014 et mars 2015. De celles-ci ont été retenues les études impliquant des patients souffrant de trouble anxieux ou d’une pathologie psychiatrique avec symptômes anxieux et bénéficiant d’une intervention thérapeutique orientée sur le corps. Résultats : Six études de type quantitatif et qualitatif ont été sélectionnées. L’hétérogénéité de celles-ci ne permet pas de généraliser les résultats observés, toutefois, l’ensemble des interventions a démontré des effets positifs sur la diminution de l’anxiété et le bien-être global des patients évalués. Conclusion : À travers nos recherches, nous avons pu recenser des interventions efficaces sur la diminution de l’anxiété en psychiatrie. L’analyse des études et notre visite dans un hôpital psychiatrique romand non universitaire, font ressortir le besoin de recherche en physiothérapie en santé mentale et la complexité de celle-ci. Il existe actuellement peu d’études concernant les interventions corporelles en psychiatrie et leur résultats, bien que positifs, ne sont pas généralisables.

description: Robust time-optimal control is known to feature constant (square) pulses. We analyze fast adiabatic dynamics that preserve robustness by using alternative smooth quasi-square pulses, typically represented by hyper-Gaussian pulses. We here consider the two protocols, robust inverse optimization and time-contracted adiabatic passage, allowing the design of the same pulse shape in both cases. The dynamics and their performance are compared. The superiority of the former protocol is shown.
Source Differentiated Pork Import Demand for South Korea:  Implications to Canadian Exports
Creators: Shi, Peigu
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

This study uses the Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System model to estimate pork import demand in South Korea with the focus on implications to Canadian exports. Pork is highly prized in Asian cuisines, especially in South Korea due to its delicate fat content and texture. South Korea has a limited domestic pork production capability but faces a continuous rise in pork demand which makes importing inevitable. This study contributes to the current demand analysis literature in several ways: 1) the AIDS model is estimated in quadratic form to ensure a better consistency rather than linearizing the model with a price index; 2) the selected trade data ranges from 2013-2019 which provides an updated estimation from previous literature on South Korea’s import demand on source differentiated pork; 3) the findings suggest that pork trade in South Korea is highly competitive but Canada is not well-positioned to capture future market growth. South Korea’s unique preference for fatter pork might explain Canadian pork exporters’ lack of competitiveness. Expenditure and price elasticities indicate that Canadian pork is the most inelastic and has the least to gain from an expansion in South Korea’s pork expenditures and competitions mainly are from the U.S., Germany, and Netherlands. Although considered minor, both time trend and seasonality are shown to have a significant effect in determining Canadian pork exports to South Korea.

description: Problématique : En Suisse, le nombre de personnes atteintes d’un TCC est estimé à environ 12'000 par année. Les séquelles résultantes peuvent être physiques, psychologiques et peuvent avoir un impact sur la communication. Le rôle infirmier occupe une place primordiale dans le processus de soins, car il est présent depuis la phase aigüe, durant la réhabilitation et également au retour à domicile. Question de recherche : Le but de ce travail est d’identifier les interventions favorisant l’implication des patients ayant des lésions cérébrales, dans les soins. Ces interventions permettraient une meilleure prise en charge afin d’augmenter la qualité de vie des patients. Méthodologie : Les bases de données CINAHL et PubMed ont été utilisées dans la recherche d’articles. En tenant compte des critères d’inclusion et d’exclusion, huit articles ont été retenus. Résultats : L’analyse de ces huit articles a permis de mettre en évidence quatre thèmes principaux : les outils d’évaluation, l’interdisciplinarité, le ressenti du patient et l’implication de la famille dans la prise en charge. Il en ressort que chacun de ces facteurs a un impact sur la qualité de la prise en charge. Cependant, aucune étude ne démontre l’effet bénéfique de leur association. Discussion : L’implication du patient dans les soins s’articule autour des outils d’évaluation, de l’interdisciplinarité, du patient, ainsi que des familles. Dès lors, les interventions infirmières devraient être centrées sur ces relations afin d’aboutir à une prise en charge adaptée et de qualité.
Auroral vortex street formed by the magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling instability

description: By performing three-dimensional nonlinear MHD simulations including Alfven eigenmode perturbations most unstable to the ionospheric feedback effects, we reproduced the auroral vortex street that often appears just before substorm onset. We found that an initially placed arc splits, intensifies, and rapidly deforms into a vortex street. We also found that there is a critical convection electric field for growth of the Alfven eigenmodes. The vortex street is shown to be a consequence of coupling between the magnetospheric Alfven waves carrying field-aligned currents and the ionospheric density waves driven by Pedersen/Hall currents.

description: Introduction : Avec l’augmentation de l’espérance de vie en Europe, le pourcentage de patients présentant des escarres en soins palliatifs, est de plus en plus élevé. Ce problème représente un enjeu médical, social et économique importants et afflige la qualité de vie des patients. Ces escarres génèrent des douleurs considérables qui affectent le sommeil et engendrent dépression, frustration, colère et anxiété. Il est du rôle du soignant d’adapter les soins pour permettre à ces patients de vivre les derniers instants de leur vie dans le confort et la dignité. Objectif : Le but de cette recension des écrits est d’identifier «Comment adapter les soins d’escarres aux personnes âgées en soins palliatifs pour diminuer leurs douleurs? ». Méthode : Les bases de données CINAHL et Medline utilisées ont donné cinq articles pertinents. Résultats : Les résultats des cinq articles ont été analysés à l’aide d’un guideline construit à partir de différents articles d’Evidence Based Nursing. Cette analyse a permis d’identifier plusieurs concepts influant sur la douleur tels que le positionnement, le débridement, l’approche holistique dans les soins à l’escarre, les pansements et les médicaments locaux. Conclusion : L’adoption d’une approche holistique dans les soins à l’escarre, le minimum de changement de pansements et l’utilisation de médicaments locaux semblent être les interventions les plus efficaces.

description: Introduction : En Suisse, entre 2006 et 2010, 175 nouveaux cas de cancer chez les enfants sont répertoriés. A l’heure actuelle, le nombre de cancer chez l’enfant est en nette diminution. Malgré cela, le cancer persiste et aujourd’hui encore, bien nombre d’enfants sont atteints de cette maladie chronique. Les technologies de plus en plus pointues guérissent certes un bon nombre de cancer, mais la douleur que le cancer provoque reste tout aussi intense. Il existe aujourd’hui de nombreux moyens afin de pallier à celle-ci, mais encore faut-il choisir le bon traitement, sur la bonne personne. Les infirmières vont intervenir sur ce dernier aspect, car souvent au chevet de l’enfant, elle sera dans la capacité de voir cette douleur et de tenter de la pallier. Objectif : Le but de ce travail est d’identifier si les infirmières peuvent soulager la douleur par des moyens non pharmacologiques, telles que thérapies alternatives et complémentaires. Méthode : Une recherche sur les bases de données CINAHL et PubMed a permis la sélection de sept articles en anglais, datant de 1999 à 2010. Résultats : Les résultats montrent de manière significative une diminution de la douleur chez ces enfants par des thérapies complémentaires. Conclusion : Le rôle infirmier n’est pas explicite dans les études sélectionnées, mais l’infirmière reste néanmoins un pilier dans la prise en charge de la douleur chez l’enfant. C’est pourquoi, d’autres études, issus de la discipline infirmière devraient être menées.

description: Einstein gravity at $D\rightarrow 2$ limit can be obtained from the Kaluza-Klein procedure by taking the dimensions of the internal space to zero while keeping only the breathing mode. The resulting scalar-tensor theory can be further reduced to JT gravity or the Liouville CFT at the large central charge limit, bridging the two important 2d models. We study the general solutions of the theory, including black holes and wormholes for both positive and negative cosmological constants. We obtain the on-shell action of the nearly AdS$_2$ and show that for suitable boundary slices, the Schwarzian action governs the leading-order dynamics at the finite boundary cutoff in later time. For positive cosmological constant, we find that the scalar is well defined on the 2-sphere.
