Permian magmatism and metamorphism in the Dent Blanche nappe: constraints from field observations and geochronology
In the Dent Blanche Tectonic System, the Mont Morion biotite-bearing granite is a km- scale intrusion preserved in a low-strain volume. Zircon saturation thermometry suggests that it crystallised from a melt that reached about 800 °C. UâPb zircon and allanite geochronology indicates crystallization of the magma in the Permian (290 ± 3 Ma; 280 ± 8 Ma, respectively). Migmatitic biotite-gneiss and amphibolite are found as xenoliths within the Mont Morion granite and constitute its country-rocks. In two samples of migmatitic biotite-gneiss zircon has metamorphic overgrowths that yield UâPb ages of 285 ± 3 Ma and 281 ± 4 Ma, and are thus contemporaneous with the intrusion of the granite. The Mont Morion granite with its country-rocks of migmatitic biotite-bearing gneiss and amphibolite was thus emplaced at middle crustal levels while amphibolite facies metamorphism affected its country rocks. The magmatic and metamorphic record in the Mont Morion area reflects the high-temperature regime and lithospheric thinning of the Adriatic continental margin during Permian
Accuracy of Near Infrared Spectroscopy to Predict Quality of Pork and Pork Products Including Samples of KrĆĄkopolje and Turopolje Pigs
Study demonstrates the preliminary results of the evaluation of pork and pork products of local Slovenian (KrĆĄkopolje) and Croatian (Turopolje) pig breeds using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) conducted in the frame of European Union H2020 project TREASURE. For that purpose, samples from meat and products of two local pig breeds were collected, scanned with near infrared spectroscopy apparatus and chemically analysed (for proximate composition, fatty acids composition, proteolysis index, salt content and water activity). Data obtained were added to the database of previously collected samples and prediction models were recalibrated and reassessed. In general, NIRS calibration models are considered to be fit for purpose when the requirements (chemometric parameters) for screening purposes are met. In the present study, the quality of recalibrations using the samples from local pig breeds confirmed practical applicability for majority of studied quality traits. Further efforts are needed to enlarge the database with additional samples from local pig breeds to improve the robustness of the models and to test the calibrations on the independent sets of samples (i.e. with external validation)

Diffusion et valorisation de lâart actuel en rĂ©gion : Une Ă©tude des agglomĂ©rations du Havre, de Lyon, de Montpellier, Nantes et Rouen
Ă partir de lâexamen des diffĂ©rents canaux de diffusion et de valorisation de la crĂ©ation contemporaine dans les agglomĂ©rations de Lyon, Montpellier, Nantes, Le Havre et Rouen, lâĂ©tude propose une topographie des mondes de lâart actuel qui sâorganise autour de pĂŽles principaux : le monde institutionnel et le monde marchand, qui ont chacun leurs mondes intermĂ©diaires. Elle identifie diffĂ©rents modĂšles Ă©conomiques de lâart fondĂ©s sur une double distinction : Ă©conomie dâĆuvres versus Ă©conomie de projet dâune part, innovation versus tradition dâautre part. LâĂ©tude propose une typologie inĂ©dite des galeries et met en Ă©vidence des profils dâartistes (formation, carriĂšre, lieux de diffusion, rĂ©munĂ©ration) diffĂ©rents selon le modĂšle Ă©conomique au sein duquel ces artistes Ă©voluent

Delayed-Onset Hemolytic Anemia in Patients with Travel-Associated Severe Malaria Treated with Artesunate, France, 2011â2013
French Artesunate Working GroupInternational audienceArtesunate is the most effective treatment for severe malaria. However, delayed-onset hemolytic anemia has been observed in â20% of travelers who receive artesunate, â60% of whom require transfusion. This finding could discourage physicians from using artesunate. We prospectively evaluated a cohort of 123 patients in France who had severe imported malaria that was treated with artesunate; our evaluation focused on outcome, adverse events, and postartesunate delayed-onset hemolysis (PADH). Of the 123 patients, 6 (5%) died. Overall, 97 adverse events occurred. Among the 78 patients who received follow-up for >8 days after treatment initiation, 76 (97%) had anemia, and 21 (27%) of the 78 cases were recorded as PADH. The median drop in hemoglobin levels was 1.3 g/dL; 15% of patients with PADH had hemoglobin levels of <7 g/dL, and 1 required transfusion. Despite the high incidence of PADH, the resulting anemia remained mild in 85% of cases. This reassuring result confirms the safety and therapeutic benefit of artesunate
