    Sur la base de l’expérience de la Bibliothèque de la Faculté de Droit de l’Université de Fribourg, ce travail analyse la gestion d’une équipe. Dans un premier temps, une situation difficile tant pour l’institution que pour le personnel est détaillée. Dans une deuxième phase, une situation visant à instaurer à la BFD un système de management est analysée, tant au niveau de la mise en place que du ressenti du personnel et de la gestion de ce dernier. Les éléments concernant la communication en équipe sont particulièrement mis en lumière afin de voir comment les mesures ont été prises et quelles ont été les actions concrètes mises en place. Une partie théorique sur la gestion d’équipe vient se mettre en relation avec les expériences empiriquement vécues. Cela permet, dans une troisième partie du travail de faire une analyse critique de la gestion du personnel de la BFD et d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives pour l’avenir

    AbstractPurpose: The literature reports a wide range of percentages of ablation in the treatment of thyroid nodules. The aim of this nested case-control study was to evaluate whether the different morphological (well-defined vs. agglomerate) characteristics of nodules affect the success rate. Materials and methods: We selected 20 patients with a single and /or dominant well-defined nodule (group 1) and 20 with a nodular formation resulting from the fusion of multiple nodules (group 2). All the nodules were treated by the laser method receiving the same energy. Results: At 6 months, patients in group 1 showed a greater decrease in volume than those in group 2. These differences were more evident after 12 months. Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that the efficacy of laser treatment can be predicted by nodule morphology and contributes to explaining the wide differences in the percentages of ablation reported in literature

    Cross-linked hyaluronic acid filler hydrolysis with hyaluronidase: different settings to reproduce different clinical scenarios

    Skin necrosis is the most severe complication arising from hyaluronic acid injection. To avoid skin necrosis, hyaluronidase should be injected along the course of the involved artery, to allow blood flow restoration. We evaluated the ability of hyaluronidase to degrade a hyaluronic acid (HA) filler in two simulated clinical situations—a compression case and an embolization case—to identify differences in the hyaluronidase injection. In the compression case, a bolus of HA filler was directly soaked in hyaluronidase solution; in the embolization case, a vein harvested from a living patient was filled with the same HA filler and then soaked in hyaluronidase. We then evaluated the quantity of HA remaining after 2 hours. While we found hydrolysis of hyaluronic acid in both cases, in the compression case, we detected almost complete hydrolysis, whereas in the embolization case we observed a reduction of the 60%. Our results support the hypothesis that vessel compression can be resolved with only one injection of hyaluronidase, while in the case of vascular embolization, repeated perivascular injections should be performed owing to the reduction of hyaluronidase activity

    Severe spruelike enteropathy due to olmesartan

    Villous atrophy and negative serologic testing is a diagnostic challenge, and the rarer possibility of drug-induced enteritis should be considered. We report a rare case of severe spruelike enteritis due to olmesartan that completely resolved after withdrawal of the drug. The possibility that patient labeled as "refractory" celiac disease may actually be due to drug treatment should always be taken into consideration, to avoid unnecessary investigations

    Azimuthal anisotropy of charged jet production in root s(NN)=2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions

    We present measurements of the azimuthal dependence of charged jet production in central and semi-central root s(NN) = 2.76 TeV Pb-Pb collisions with respect to the second harmonic event plane, quantified as nu(ch)(2) (jet). Jet finding is performed employing the anti-k(T) algorithm with a resolution parameter R = 0.2 using charged tracks from the ALICE tracking system. The contribution of the azimuthal anisotropy of the underlying event is taken into account event-by-event. The remaining (statistical) region-to-region fluctuations are removed on an ensemble basis by unfolding the jet spectra for different event plane orientations independently. Significant non-zero nu(ch)(2) (jet) is observed in semi-central collisions (30-50% centrality) for 20 <p(T)(ch) (jet) <90 GeV/c. The azimuthal dependence of the charged jet production is similar to the dependence observed for jets comprising both charged and neutral fragments, and compatible with measurements of the nu(2) of single charged particles at high p(T). Good agreement between the data and predictions from JEWEL, an event generator simulating parton shower evolution in the presence of a dense QCD medium, is found in semi-central collisions.

    Production of He-4 and (4) in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S=2.76 TeV at the LHC

    Get PDF
    Results on the production of He-4 and (4) nuclei in Pb-Pb collisions at root(NN)-N-S = 2.76 TeV in the rapidity range vertical bar y vertical bar <1, using the ALICE detector, are presented in this paper. The rapidity densities corresponding to 0-10% central events are found to be dN/dy4(He) = (0.8 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.3 (syst)) x 10(-6) and dN/dy4 = (1.1 +/- 0.4 (stat) +/- 0.2 (syst)) x 10(-6), respectively. This is in agreement with the statistical thermal model expectation assuming the same chemical freeze-out temperature (T-chem = 156 MeV) as for light hadrons. The measured ratio of (4)/He-4 is 1.4 +/- 0.8 (stat) +/- 0.5 (syst). (C) 2018 Published by Elsevier B.V.Peer reviewe

    Pseudorapidity and transverse-momentum distributions of charged particles in proton-proton collisions at root s=13 TeV

    Get PDF
    The pseudorapidity (eta) and transverse-momentum (p(T)) distributions of charged particles produced in proton-proton collisions are measured at the centre-of-mass energy root s = 13 TeV. The pseudorapidity distribution in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1.8 is reported for inelastic events and for events with at least one charged particle in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1. The pseudorapidity density of charged particles produced in the pseudorapidity region vertical bar eta vertical bar <0.5 is 5.31 +/- 0.18 and 6.46 +/- 0.19 for the two event classes, respectively. The transverse-momentum distribution of charged particles is measured in the range 0.15 <p(T) <20 GeV/c and vertical bar eta vertical bar <0.8 for events with at least one charged particle in vertical bar eta vertical bar <1. The evolution of the transverse momentum spectra of charged particles is also investigated as a function of event multiplicity. The results are compared with calculations from PYTHIA and EPOS Monte Carlo generators. (C) 2015 CERN for the benefit of the ALICE Collaboration. Published by Elsevier B.V.
