Uma bomba d'água acionada por correntezas de rios mediante um rotor Savonius sub-merso foi. testada. Depois de um ano de uso contínuo a bomba ainda estava em funcionamen to. Porém, certas modificações foram concebidas para diminuir os desgastes dos componen tes. Novos desenhos e uma nova lista de materiais são apresentados. Um gráfico da vazão diária da bomba em função da velocidade da correnteza, mostrou que com correntezas de 0,5 até 1,1 m.s-1 a vazão (y litros/dia) depende Linearmente da corrente ( x m.s-1), sabendo-se a altura (a metros) do bombeamento segundo a equação:y = 7692 x - 1250 - 500 a/3A bomba é considerada prática, econômica, com uma vida útil adequada. Contudo a evolução da tecnologia é limitada pelo fiato de que o rotor fica consideravelmente mais caro quando não se usa um camburão de Óleo para a sua costrução

Description du portrait de l’enseignement du yoga en éducation physique au collégial au regard du questionnement didactique

Cette recherche a pour thème l’enseignement du yoga en éducation physique au collégial. L’angle du questionnement didactique a été choisi afin de connaître les contenus enseignés et les facteurs qui influencent ces choix didactiques. Le problème de recherche, qui émane de la vastitude des savoirs disciplinaires du yoga, est expliqué par la difficulté à catégoriser le yoga et la complexité à choisir les contenus didactiques à enseigner. Ainsi, l’objectif général poursuivi est de dresser le portrait de l’enseignement du yoga en éducation physique au collégial au regard du questionnement didactique. Trois objectifs spécifiques ont été ciblés afin de répondre à l’objectif principal : 1. Identifier les caractéristiques des enseignantes et enseignants en éducation physique au collégial qui enseignent du yoga. 2. Identifier les caractéristiques des cours de yoga donnés en éducation physique au collégial. 3. Décrire les choix didactiques faits par les enseignantes et enseignants qui enseignent du yoga en éducation physique au collégial. Dans le cadre de cette recherche descriptive, l’approche méthodologique est mixte et majoritairement quantitative. Un questionnaire électronique a été construit et validé afin de répondre aux objectifs de la recherche. Les données recueillies pour l'année 2019 proviennent de 21 questionnaires issus de 14 cégeps différents. Les résultats permettent de répondre à l'objectif général et aux objectifs spécifiques et de bien comprendre le portrait de l'enseignement du yoga en éducation physique au collégial. Cependant, les résultats ne sont pas destinés à être généralisés, mais bien à servir d’inspiration, de réflexion et de base de connaissance sur l’enseignement du yoga en éducation physique au collégial

Les autobiographies foetales masculines ou Jonas dans le ventre de la baleine

Les quatre textes qui suivent tentent d'analyser dans la littérature québécoise et française récente (romans et essais, 1979-1989) les manifestations d'une société en mutation, désireuse ou non de rompre avec les stéréotypes de sexes, de revisiter et réconcilier féminin et masculin. Les écrivaines, avec quelques belles longueurs d'avance, continuent de vouloir à la fois le corps et l'esprit, la vie et la fiction, de jongler avec l'altérité et les identités plurielles et de travailler des textes ûctionnels, théoriques et incamés, qui prennent en compte le réel Leur travail de réflexion et de création ne cesse, en fait, d'interroger les artifices de l'art, les mensonges de la petite et de la grande histoire, et de prouver qu'on ne peut impunément dissocier éthique et esthétique ! Le thème de l'autobiographie foetale qui hante la littérature masculine récente est très représentatif de la masculinité en crise; il cristallise ses angoisses, ses résistances ou sa nouvelle quête émotive, affective et corporelle.The following four-part paper try to analyse in recent quebecer and french littérature (novels and essays 1979-1989) the manifestations of a changing society, wether it be willing or not to break with gender stereotypes and reconcile the masculine/feminine dichotomy. Female writers still show leadership in wanting both body and mind, life and fiction; in thinking ofalterity and multiple identities; and in working at fictionnal, theoretical and incarnate texts wich take reality into considerations. Their reflexion and creation in effect never stops questionning the artistic device, the lies of both small and big history to prove that we cannot inconsiderately dissociate Ethics from Esthetics ! The foetal autobiography team now haunting recent male littérature is very representative of the masculinity crisis; it cristallizes his anguish resistances or his new emotive, affective and corporeal quest

Mitoxantrone Therapy for Acute Posterior Multifocal Placoid Pigment Epitheliopathy with Cerebral Vasculitis

Purpose. To report favorable outcome of a case of acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy (APMPPE) associated with cerebral vasculitis after treatment with immunosuppressive therapy by mitoxantrone. Design. Single case report. Method. A 22-year-old man presented with acute isolated bilateral loss of vision revealing APMPPE. Corticosteroid therapy was initiated and visual acuity gradually improved. Seventeen days later, visual function deteriorated again, associated with flu-like syndrome and severe headaches. A relapse of APMPPE was diagnosed, complicated with lymphocytic meningitis and cerebral ischemia. Intravenous therapy with mitoxantrone was performed in combination with methylprednisolone. Results. Headaches disappeared in a few days whereas visual acuity gradually improved and stabilized at 20/40 in the right eye and 20/32 in the left eye. No adverse event was observed. Clinical improvement was confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging. Conclusion. Cerebral vasculitis is the most severe complication of the extraocular manifestations of APMPEE. This diagnosis should be evoked when severe headaches or behavior disorder are associated with APMPEE

Clonal and plasmidic dissemination of critical antimicrobial resistance genes through clinically relevant ExPEC and APEC-like lineages (ST) in the dairy cattle population of Québec, Canada

Antimicrobial resistance can be effectively limited by improving the judicious use of antimicrobials in food production. However, its effect on the spread of AMR genes in animal populations is not well described. In the province of Québec, Canada, a new legislation implemented in 2019 has led to an unprecedented reduction in the use of critical antimicrobials in dairy production. We aimed to investigate the potential link between ESBL/AmpC E. coli isolated before and after legislation and to determine the presence of plasmids carrying genes responsible for critical AMR. We collected fecal samples from calves, cows, and manure pit from 87 Québec dairy farms approximately 2 years before and 2 years after the legislation came into effect. The whole genomes of 183 presumptive ESBL/AmpC E. coli isolated after cefotaxime enrichment were sequenced. Their phylogenetic characteristics (MLST, serogroup, cgMLST) and the presence of virulence and resistance genes and replicons were examined. A maximum likelihood phylogenetic tree was constructed based on single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs). We identified 10 clonal lineages (same cgMLST) and 7 clones (SNPs ≤ 52). Isolates belonging to these clones could be found on different farms before and after the legislation, strongly suggesting a clonal spread of AMR genes in the population during this 4-year period. All isolates were multidrug resistant (MDR), with clone 2 being notable for the presence of macrolide, fluoroquinolone, and third-generation cephalosporin resistance genes. We also identified clinically relevant ExPEC (ST10) and APEC-like lineages (ST117, ST58, ST88) associated with the presence of ExPEC and APEC virulence genes, respectively. Our data also suggests the presence of one epidemic plasmid belonging to the IncY incompatibility group and carrying qnrs1 and blaCTX–M–15. We demonstrated that AMR genes spread through farms and can persist over a 4-year period in the dairy cattle population through both plasmids and E. coli clones, despite the restriction of critical antimicrobial use. MDR ExPEC and APEC-like STs are present in the normal microbiota of cattle (more frequently in calves). These data increase our knowledge on gene dissemination dynamics and highlight the fact that biosecurity measures should be enhanced in this industry to limit such dissemination

Green Edge ice camp campaigns : understanding the processes controlling the under-ice Arctic phytoplankton spring bloom

The Green Edge initiative was developed to investigate the processes controlling the primary productivity and fate of organic matter produced during the Arctic phytoplankton spring bloom (PSB) and to determine its role in the ecosystem. Two field campaigns were conducted in 2015 and 2016 at an ice camp located on landfast sea ice southeast of Qikiqtarjuaq Island in Baffin Bay (67.4797∘ N, 63.7895∘ W). During both expeditions, a large suite of physical, chemical and biological variables was measured beneath a consolidated sea-ice cover from the surface to the bottom (at 360 m depth) to better understand the factors driving the PSB. Key variables, such as conservative temperature, absolute salinity, radiance, irradiance, nutrient concentrations, chlorophyll a concentration, bacteria, phytoplankton and zooplankton abundance and taxonomy, and carbon stocks and fluxes were routinely measured at the ice camp. Meteorological and snow-relevant variables were also monitored. Here, we present the results of a joint effort to tidy and standardize the collected datasets, which will facilitate their reuse in other Arctic studies
