Development of implicit mesures in addiction, Eye movements and attentional biases in tobacco addiction

Objectif : Le but de ce travail est d'étudier le lien existant entre les mouvements oculaires, notamment les microsaccades, et les biais attentionnels chez des individus addicts au tabac, afin d'évaluer l'utilité des mouvements oculaires comme indicateurs des biais attentionnels liés à l'addiction. Le but à plus long terme étant de déterminer la substance étant la plus à risque de faire rechuter un individu polyaddict, et ainsi de traiter cette addiction en premier lieu. Méthodologie : Revue de la littérature existante. Expérience d'eye-tracking sur une cohorte de trente sujets fumeurs. Analyses statistiques. Résultats : Nos résultats montrent qu'il y a un lien entre la direction des mouvements oculaires et la présentation d'images en lien avec le tabac, cependant ces corrélations n'ont pas été observées de manière récurrente sur l'ensemble des sujets. Nos résultats n'ont pas montré de lien entre la direction des microsaccades et la présentation d'images en lien avec le tabac. Nous observons qu'il serait difficile de mesurer les biais attentionnels à l'aide des microsaccades. Conclusion : Ce travail nous montre que la mesure des biais attentionnels avec les microsaccades est difficile. Actuellement, il n'est pas envisageable d'utiliser les microsaccades dans la pratique clinique chez des individus addicts, en particulier chez des individus polyaddicts

Exploring interprofessional collaboration and attitudes of health sciences librarians

Objective: This study assessed health sciences librarians’ attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration using the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) and gathered information on their involvement with interprofessional activities. Methods: The authors sent a survey to librarians in the Medical Library Association’s (MLA’s) Interprofessional Education Special Interest Group and Research Section consisting of the IEPS and questions about their prior and current experiences with interprofessional practice and education (IPE). We compared mean IEPS scores between each MLA group and several other demographic factors to assess differences in attitudes. We also compared librarians’ IEPS scores with those of previously published health professional students’ IEPS scores and thematically analyzed two open-ended questions. Results: Health sciences librarians’ scores on the IEPS indicated positive attitudes toward IPE. There were no statistically significant differences between any group. Health sciences librarians’ mean IEPS score was similar to the mean score of health professions students from a prior study. The most commonly reported interprofessional activity was teaching or facilitating learning activities for health professions students; fewer served on committees or engaged in non-curricular activities such as grand rounds and book clubs. Conclusion: Health sciences librarians in this study reported positive attitudes toward IPE, in line with the majority of other previously studied health professionals. Years of experience, previous health professional careers, and experience supporting IPE as a librarian had little bearing on the responses to the survey. This suggests that health sciences librarians have positive attitudes toward IPE, regardless of whether they directly support IPE programs or participate in interprofessional activities

Régime vibratoire des aiguilles et assemblages combustibles du réacteur phénix

The fuel assemblies of high-speed sodium-cooled reactors are an important component which operates under very severe conditions (temperature, sodium flow velocity, etc.). The Phenix fuel assembly is shown in Fig. 1. Due to fuel element or assembly clearances, vibration can be a problem, and this has necessitated a certain number of studies and tests. The tests were carried out with water at ambient temperature on a full-size model combining mechanical structural similarity and Froude hydraulic similarity. The main source of excitation is liable to be situated within the flow inside the assembly and underneath the core cover at the otltlet. Due to the symetrical reactor layout, only one-sixth of the core and cover were featured on the model, together with their various flow regions (Fig. 2). The assembly under vibration test was installed inside a very rigid tube (Figs. 3 and 4) by means of which loads could be applied to the assembly plates. The tube could be set up in three different positions. The other assemblies were simulated by ordinary tubes. Accelerometers and strain gauges were used for the measurements, with provision for recording the signals on magnetic tape and processing them, especially in order to establish the spectral density. After measuring the natural frequencies of the assemblies in air and water with various loads on the plates, flow tests were carried out. The recordings from these tests are now being analysed, but the first results show a very low vibration amplitude, so that there does not appear to be much danger as far as the Phenix fuel assemblies are concerned. Fuel element vibration study. Within the assembly the fuel elements are laid out in a triangular pattern, their spacing being established by means of a spiral wire round each element. As the contact levels were thus indefinite, the method chosen to detect vibration consisted in measuring the EMF produced by the movement of a conductor running along the spiral wire through a magnetic field. This method was tried out on a separate mock-up, which was also used to investigate the natural frequencies of a fuel element. Tests were then carried out on various fuel element bundles, including Phenix, and it was found that the latter were not affected by any measurable vibration. The remaining results are being analysed by auto-correlation methods. The next stage in this vibration research programme will be to establish the effects of the various parameters with which the component designer is liable to be concerned

Frequency and Effects of Search Strategy Characteristics on Relevant Article Retrieval in Systematic Reviews

Objectives To identify common characteristics of highly effective search strategies for a clinical systematic review topic. Methods Before attending an in-person systematic review workshop, participants asked to draft a reproducible search strategy based on a brief scenario and a research question from a published systematic review related to blood transfusion and radical prostatectomy. Participants are provided with three studies that were included in the published systematic review, but are not given the systematic review itself. The scenario proposes three commonly-requested limits: date range, inclusion of specific outcome, and human studies that participants can choose to apply or not. The submitted strategies are evaluated for reproducibility and effectiveness of retrieval of the 10 studies included in the published systematic review. Strategies were considered ”highly successful” if they returned all 10 included studies. We conducted a thematic analysis on the 14 highly successful strategies to identify common characteristics between them that could guide future searchers. Two studies were disproportionately missed by the other 98 search strategies, and their PubMed records were analyzed to identify what made them particularly challenging to find. We thank the MLA Research Training Institute for its training, support and encouragement to carry out this research. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (RE-95-17- 0025-17). This study is IRB Exempt under HUM00128315.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/177126/1/Townsend_MLA2019_RTIPoster.pdfhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/177126/2/Townsend_MLA2019_RTIPoster.pptxDescription of Townsend_MLA2019_RTIPoster.pdf : Conference poster in pdf formatDescription of Townsend_MLA2019_RTIPoster.pptx : Conference poster in ppt formatSEL

Interprofessional education faculty development survey: Perspectives on IPE and collaborative practice and COVID-19

The cancellation of in-person classes in March 2020 due to COVID-19 caused a sudden shift in the educational experiences of health profession students enrolled at the University of Michigan (U-M). With the move to remote learning, educators engaging in interprofessional education (IPE) were faced with the challenge of preparing students for interprofessional collaboration from a distance. A survey was designed to investigate the impact of the pandemic on IPE practices and discover educator development needs. Faculty and staff from 10 health sciences schools within the U-M and Michigan Medicine were invited to complete a survey investigating their use of IPE competencies prior to, during, and after the pandemic; their development needs; and their ideas for future implementation of IPE and collaborative practice. Fifty-six percent of respondents reported their ability to teach IPE competencies was impacted by changes related to COVID. There was a significant (p ≤ 0.001) difference between self-report of incorporating IPE competencies prior to and during pandemic and during and into the future across all five competencies. Technology was reported as a challenge when teaching IPE, and a need for future faculty development. Leveraging virtual and case-based learning and increasing collaboration between schools were identified as ideas for future implementation.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/174747/2/Interprofessional education faculty development survey Perspectives on IPE and collaborative practice and COVID-19.pdfAccepted versionDescription of Interprofessional education faculty development survey Perspectives on IPE and collaborative practice and COVID-19.pdf : Published versio
