Haute prévalence du Burnout dans les unités Tunisiennes prenant en charge des patients en fin de vie

Introduction: Chez le personnel soignant, le burnout touche un infirmier sur trois. Ce taux est plus élevé dans les unités prenant en charge des patients en fin de vie. L?objectif de notre travail était d?évaluer la fréquence du burnout chez les infirmiers qui travaillent en soins de fin de vie.Méthodes: Il s'agit d'une étude descriptive transversale réalisée entre le 1er Avril et le 31 Mai 2010. 60 infirmiers de six services de Sousse et de Monastir (Tunisie) ont été recrutés. L'évaluation du burnout a  été réalisée par deux échelles : MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) et BMS (Burnout Measure Short  version). Résultats: La prévalence du burnout était de 70% ; il était élevé chez 81.7%. 80% avaient un niveau  élevé d?épuisement émotionnel, 70% avaient un niveau élevé de dépersonnalisation et 17 % avaient un niveau bas de sentiment d'accomplissement personnel. Le burnout était plus élevé chez les hommes (70,8% vs 69,4% ; p=0,013) ; ceux qui voulaient améliorer les conditions du travail (70.2% vs. 66.7% ; p= 0.017) ; du salaire (70.2% vs. 66.7% ; p= 0.017) et chez les infirmiers suivi en psychiatrie (71.4%  vs. 69.8% ; p= 0.008).Conclusion: Dans notre étude le niveau de burnout était élevé chez les infirmiers prenant en charge des patients en fin de vie. Il était associé au sexe masculin et à l'insatisfaction des conditions de travail et du salaire. D'autres études longitudinales sont nécessaires pour suivre l'évolution de ce syndrome et mettre des stratégies de prévention adéquates.Key words: Burnout, infirmiers, soins de fin de vie, Tunisie

Reproduktivna biologija vrste Diplodus vulgaris (Teleostei, Sparidae) u vodama južnog Tunisa (središnji Mediteran)

The reproduction of the common-two banded seabream (N=916), Diplodus vulgaris, was studied in the Gulf of Gabes (Tunisia). The length at the first maturity averages 13.64 ± 0.18 cm for males and 13.84 ± 0.17 cm for females. Macroscopic examination of gonads and gonad-somatic index indicated that spawning occurs once a year between November and February with peak activity in November and December. Fecundity estimates ranged from 8 400 to 30 800 oocytes.Razmnožavanje fratra (N=916) Diplodus vulgaris, istraživano je u zaljevu Gabes (Tunis). Dužina prve spolne zrelosti je u prosjeku između 13,64 ± 0,18 cm za mužjake i 13,84 ± 0,17 cm za ženke. Makroskopsko ispitivanje gonada i gonadsko-somatskog indeksa pokazuje da se mriješćenje odvija jednom godišnje, između siječnja i veljače sa vrhuncem u studenom i prosincu. Procjene fekunditeta su u rasponu od 8 400 do 30 800 oocita

One step protocol and green synthesis of 2-N,N-dimethylamino-3-alkyl(aryl)-2-oxido-1- hydro-2-benzo[1,3,2]diazaphosphinine-4-one derivatives

ABSTRACT. 2-N,N-dimethylamino-2-oxido-3-alkyl(aryl)-1-hydro-2-benzo[1,3,2]diazaphosphinin-4-one (2) derivatives  are synthesized by one pot reaction by reacting equimolar quantities of anthranilic acid, primary amine, and N,N-dimethylphosphoramic dichloride under reflux of ethanol with good yields. The structure of the compounds were established on the basis of their infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance spectral data (1H NMR, 13C NMR and 31P NMR), mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis.   KEY WORDS: Anthranilic acid, N,N-Dimethylphosphoramic dichloride, Diazaphosphinine Bull.

Characterization of natural Yemeni zeolites as powder sorbents for ammonium valorization from domestic waste water streams using high rate activated sludge processes

BACKGROUND In this study three natural Yemeni zeolites (NZ1, NZ2 and NZ3) having major minerals such as clinoptilolite and mordenite, were evaluated as low cost sorbents for the removal and recovery of ammonium ions. RESULTS The zeolite samples, with pHPZC =¿9.1¿±¿0.2, 7.9¿±¿0.2 and 7.4¿±¿0.2 for NZ1, NZ2 and NZ3, respectively, showed high ammonium sorption capacities. At pH¿8, for treated waste waters: (i) with low NH4+ levels (from 25 to 100 mgNH4/L); and (ii) for concentrated NH4+ side streams generated from the anaerobic digestion of sewage sludge (from 400 up to 1500¿mg L-1), maximum loading capacities of 27 to 51 mgNH4 g-1 were measured for the studied zeolites. Measured sorption isotherms, in the concentration range 0.05 to 5¿g L-1, were well described by the Langmuir isotherm. The ammonium sorption kinetics was controlled by particle diffusion and was well described by both the homogeneous diffusion (HPDM) and shell progressive (SPM) models. CONCLUSION Comparison of the equilibrium data with results for natural and synthetic zeolites demonstrate the higher performance of the studied zeolites providing low residual ammonium values <1 mgNH4 g-1 and <10 mgNH4 g-1 when treating both diluted and concentrated-NH4+ streams, respectively.Preprin

Making Room for Horror: The Adversity of Genre in the French Film Industry

This dissertation examines the lack of legitimacy that French horror cinema encounters within France’s domestic industry. In a country dominated by a cultural elitism that values art films over genre films, French horror faces multiple challenges from its initial funding to its final reception as a result of rigid television broadcast rules, strict exhibition visa authorizations, and moral conflicts regarding their use of violence. Building on historical and theoretical research as well as empirical data from institutional reports, roundtables, interviews and audience surveys, this dissertation investigates the invisibility of horror in the processes of the French film industry and seeks to find alternate circuits of production, distribution and exhibition that could benefit the genre. The second chapter (the introduction being the first) delves into the history of the horror genre in France in order to understand the lack of recognition it suffers from. Chapter 3 discusses the modes of financing and production operating in France and draws a comparison with the American film industry through the dual experience of director Alexandre Aja who has worked in both countries. Chapter 4 analyzes the regulation of cinematic violence imposed by the state and its unfortunate consequences on the distribution of horror films while considering the notion of affect that is especially relevant to the visceral content of the genre. Chapter 5 deconstructs the French preference for theatrical release by focusing on other modes of distribution like festivals, video-on-demand and streaming platforms. It also includes an interview of Frédéric Garcia who developed a French horror show with Netflix. The last chapter shifts the focus to spectators and addresses their viewing habits and appraisal of French horror by way of a survey distributed online
