Comparación de la eficacia de distintos productos químicos aplicados mediante tratamiento aéreo en el control del muérdago (Viscum album) sobre Pinus halepensis

El objetivo de este trabajo fue comparar la eficacia de diversos productos químicos en el control del muérdago (Viscum album var austriacum) sobre Pinus halepensis. La experiencia consistió en la aplicación mediante tratamiento aéreo de diversas concentraciones de etefon, ácido giberélico y glifosato. Las combinaciones de ácido giberélico y glifosato obtuvieron las mayores eficacias, especialmente la que aplicó 7,8 g/ha de ácido giberélico y 540 g/ha de glifosato.The aim of this work was to compare the effectiveness of several products (such as ethephon, giberelic acid and glyphosate) in the chemical control of mistletoe {Viscum album var austriacum) on Pinus halepensis. The experiment consisted in applying various concentrations of these products by aerial treatment. The combinations of giberelic acid and glyphosate appeared to be the most effective treatments, especially the treatment that applied giberelic acid - 7,8 g/ha and glyphosate - 540 g/ha

Comparison of vancomycin and linezolid in patients with peripheral vascular disease and/or diabetes in an observational European study of complicated skin and soft-tissue infections due to methicillin-resistant <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i>

AbstractSuboptimal antibiotic penetration into soft tissues can occur in patients with poor circulation due to peripheral vascular disease (PVD) or diabetes. We conducted a real-world analysis of antibiotic treatment, hospital resource use and clinical outcomes in patients with PVD and/or diabetes receiving linezolid or vancomycin for the treatment of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus complicated skin and soft-tissue infections (MRSA cSSTIs) across Europe. This subgroup analysis evaluated data obtained from a retrospective, observational medical chart review study that captured patient data from 12 European countries. Data were obtained from the medical records of patients ≥ 18 years of age, hospitalized with an MRSA cSSTI between 1 July 2010 and 30 June 2011 and discharged alive by 31 July 2011. Hospital length of stay and length of treatment were compared between the treatment groups using inverse probability of treatment weights to adjust for clinical and demographic differences. A total of 485 patients had PVD or diabetes and received treatment with either vancomycin (n = 258) or linezolid (n = 227). After adjustment, patients treated with linezolid compared with vancomycin respectively had significantly shorter hospital stays (17.9 ± 13.6 vs. 22.6 ± 13.6 days; p < 0.001) and treatment durations (12.9 ± 7.9 vs. 16.4 ± 8.3 days; p < 0.001). The proportions of patients prescribed oral, MRSA-active antibiotics at discharge were 43.2% and 12.4% of patients in the linezolid and vancomycin groups, respectively (p < 0.001). The reduction in resource use may result in lower hospital costs for patients with PVD and/or diabetes and MRSA cSSTIs if treated with linezolid compared with vancomycin

L'apprentissage en autonomie. Exemple de formation en ligne sur les fondamentaux de la cristallisation

National audienceUn cours en ligne sur les fondamentaux de la cristallisation et la précipitation a été conçu par une communauté de chercheurs et d'enseignants-chercheurs en cristallisation/précipitation. Ce cours vise plusieurs publics : élèves ingénieurs, étudiants de master, doctorants, enseignants, industriels. Aussi correspond-il en pratique à plusieurs types de prestations et d'outils pédagogiques, qui vont au-delà d'un simple document consultable à distance. Le cours propose déjà des outils pédagogiques originaux : - auto-apprentissage avec multiples animations illustratives et entrées possibles, - auto-évaluation à distance, sur la base d'exercices applicatifs interactifs. Pour aller plus loin dans la compréhension de ce qui se passe lors d'une cristallisation, l'intégration de programmes de simulation interactifs dans le support pédagogique a été réalisée. Ces simulateurs pédagogiques permettent de mettre en évidence la sensibilité d'une opération de cristallisation aux valeurs de ses paramètres opératoires

How to do things with translation. Jean-Paul Marat\u2019s translation of Newton\u2019s Optics (1787)

There has been an increasing interest, in translation studies, in the figure of the translator and the question of \u201cagency\u201d in the work of translators (see, for example, Milton and Bandia 2009). In translation history, however, many of those who translate are not first and foremost translators and their translations are often the result of wider cultural, historical or political strategies (Burke 2005; Pym 2009). To understand fully a translation, then, it is necessary to look at the text and paratext (Batchelor 2018) but also at the \u201cextra-textual\u201d element of context (Munday 2014). Jean-Paul Marat\u2019s translation of Isaac Newton\u2019s Optics (1787), for example, must be contextualised within a framework of his attempts at recognition as a scientist and in the light of his future activity as a revolutionary journalist (Gillispie 1980; Conner 1998). The translation was an attempt to legitimate his own scientific competence by means of delegitimizing, through a process of \u201cnegative filiation\u201d (Lefevere 1998), the standard eighteenth-century translation of Pierre Coste (1722). This entables us also to understand Marat\u2019s translation strategy: to open the text to younger readers through a \u201cfree\u201d translation. Marat\u2019s translation can thus be understood as responding to personal scientific and political objectives
