Les décompensations liées au travail : analyse comparative entre la Suède et la France de la prise en charge thérapeutique : entre la psychodynamique du travail et le paradigme du stress

In terms of theory and practice related to occupational mental health, Sweden and France are two countries with different theoretical traditions. While Sweden is highly influenced by physiological stress-models, the scientific tradition in France is influenced by "psychodynamics of work". This research aimed to compare theory and practice related to occupational mental health in France and Sweden. As a first step, the study explored the different theoretical frameworks in both countries. In the next step, the research was bridging theory and practice. It involved semi-structured interviews conducted among 42 staff-members, working in institutions specialized in prevention and treatment of disorders related to occupational settings. The survey aimed to elucidate the reality of the work and to explore the methods recognized as most efficient among the staff members. The study also enabled to compare methods between countries and explore gaps between theory and practice in treatment in terms of occupational mental health.L'objet de cette recherche porte sur une étude comparative concernant les théories et les pratiques de prise en charge de la souffrance au travail en Suède et en France. L'étude permet dans un premier temps de mettre en évidence les références théoriques et conceptuelles en Suède et la France en matière de la santé au travail. Cette étape cherche à faire un comparatif entre les théories en Suède fortement marqués par les modèles de stress et la tradition scientifique en Ile-de-France centrée par la psychopathologie du travail. Dans un second temps la recherche vise à faire le lien entre la théorie et la pratique dans la prise en charge de la souffrance au travail entre la Suède et la France. La méthodologie de recherche consistait à mener une enquête portant sur 42 personnes travaillant dans la prise en charge de la souffrance au travail, en France et en Suède. Ces enquêtes visaient à discerner la réalité de la pratique sur le terrain. L'interprétation des résultats permettait de faire une confrontation des pratiques, notamment celles de la psychodynamique du travail et des modèles de stress afin de pouvoir effectuer des comparatives des avantages des forces et faiblesses de chaque dispositif

Pulmonary cavities following blunt chest injury

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are the most common cause of chest injuries. In this case report, a 17-year-old male presented with left-sided chest pain and hemoptysis after an RTA. Radiological investigations showed a left-sided pneumothorax with multiple cavities in the left lower lobe of the lung and surrounding ground glass opacities, which was suggestive of pulmonary lacerations. We managed the patient conservatively and followed up after 1 month. The computed tomography thorax showed near-complete radiological resolution after 1 month. In all patients with injuries to the chest, we have to suspect pulmonary lacerations, which can present with cavities in the lung parenchyma, and manage them accordingly. As demonstrated in this case, a pulmonary laceration following a RTA can present with pulmonary cavities. Hence, this should be kept in mind during the management of the patient with a chest wall injury

Enhancing efficiency and cost-effectiveness of solar stills through natural fiber integration

Various enhancements to solar stills aim to increase their output of fresh water. This research experimentally compared the efficiency of two solar stills (SS) in terms of producing fresh water. The conventional solar still (CSS) was compared to the Coconut leaf sheath single slope solar still. Natural fibres were used to fill the basin, increasing the surface area in contact with the sun and, by extension, the rate of evaporation. Utilize its capillary effect while simultaneously putting it to use as a heat sink (thermal storage material). We calculated the exergy and thermal energy efficiency of both systems and the associated costs. Daily accumulative freshwater productivity was found to be 5170.8 gm/m2 when employing natural fibre, a 45.8 % improvement over the usual method. Solar stills made from natural fibres were discovered to have daily thermal energy efficiencies of 46.8 % and exergy efficiencies of 5 %, while CSS systems achieved 33.8 and 3.2 %, respectively. When compared to a standard solar still, which costs ₹9.68 every litre of water produced, a solar still made with natural fibre reduces that cost to just ₹6.64 per litre

Note on range extension of guitarfish Acroteriobatus variegatus in Indian seas

The stripenose guitarfish Acroteriobatus variegatus (Nair and Lal Mohan, 1973) has been listed as a Critically Endangered (CR) in the IUCN redlist for elasmobranchs. It belongs to the family Rhinobatidae (Rhinopristiformes) and among the 10 species of Acroteriobatus found in the western Indian Ocean, is the only endemic guitarfish with a very restricted distribution range, being known only from southern India and Sri Lanka
