Les Russes et les Soviétiques en France durant la Seconde guerre mondiale : entre collaboration et résistance
Bien que l'histoire de la Résistance française constitue une problématique familière pour les historiens de la Seconde guerre mondiale en Europe, la Résistance reste assez peu étudiée. Peut-on vraiment parler d'une résistance russo-soviétique en France ? Quel est le rôle que les Russes et les Soviétiques y ont joué et par quels moyens se sont-ils impliqués dans la lutte contre l'occupant nazi ? L'analyses de ces formes de résistance est au coeur de notre étude
Préparation et études des propriétés des films magnétiques nanostructures pour des applications en dispositifs magnéto-acoustiques et spintroniques
Nowadays, structures based on ferromagnetic materials are largely used for different applications: random access magneto-resistive memories, magnetic sensors, and also new electronic components and spintronic devices. The general trend of modern electronic is the reduction of dimensions down to submicronic scales. Therefore, the magnetic nanostructures are of great interest and their methods of fabrication and properties largely studied.The main goal of this work is the preparation and experimental and theoretical research on properties of magnetic nanostructures for applications in magnetoresistive and photonic devices. The Scanning Probe Lithography (SPL) and Electron Beam Lithography (EBL) were used for the nanostructures fabrications. First steps were also achieved in fabrication of phononic cristals sensitive the magnetic field.Aujourd'hui, les structures basées sur les matériaux ferromagnétiques sont largement utilisées pour différentes applications: mémoires magnéto-résistives à accès non séquentiel, capteurs magnétiques et également nouveaux composants électroniques et dipositifs spintroniques. La tendance générale de l'électronique moderne est une réduction de la dimension des éléments à l'échelle submicronique. Ainsi, les nanostructures magnétiques sont d'un grand intérêt et leurs méthodes de fabrication et propriétés sont étudiées activement.Le but principal de ce travail est la préparation et la recherche expérimentale et théorique des propriétés de nanostructures magnétiques pour applications aux composants magneto-résistifs et phononiques. La lithographie à sonde locale (SPL) et la lithographie par faisceau d’électrons (EBL) ont été utilisées pour la fabrication des nanostructures. De premiers pas ont également été réalisés en fabrication des cristaux phononiques sensibles au champ magnétique

Manual patient handling in the healthcare setting: a scoping review.
Manual patient handling is the most frequently reported risk factor for work-related musculoskeletal disorders in healthcare. Patient handling tasks are routinely performed manually without assistive devices, and can create awkward postures and high loads for nurses and allied health professionals (AHPs). However, AHPs - notably physiotherapists - also utilize therapeutic handling to facilitate patient movement during rehabilitation. The objective of this study was to comprehensively map the literature surrounding manual patient handling (without assistive devices) by healthcare practitioners. AMED, CINAHL, MEDLINE, SPORTDiscus and EMBASE databases were searched. Grey literature was sourced from Google Scholar, EThOS, Open Grey, Health and Safety Executive, National Institute for Occupational Safety, and Health and Work Safe Australia. Literature published in English between 2002 and 2021 was included. Forty-nine records were identified: 36 primary research studies, 1 systematic review and 12 "other", including narrative and government reports. Primary research was predominantly observational cross-sectional (n=21). The most common settings included laboratories (n=13) and hospitals (n=13). Seven research questions were identified, with patient handling practices (n=13) the most common. Nurses formed the largest practitioner population (n=13) and patients were often simulated (n=12). Common outcomes included tasks performed (n=13) and physical demands during patient handling (n=13). This comprehensive scoping review identified that most research was observational, investigating nurses in hospitals or laboratories. More research on manual patient handling by AHPs and investigation of the biomechanics involved in therapeutic handling is needed. Further qualitative research would allow for greater understanding of manual patient handling practices within healthcare

What CBA-informed interventions currently exist to support prehabilitation? Scoping review protocol. [Protocol]
Prehabilitation or pre-operative services vary extensively in content and accessibility, as there are currently no nationwide standards in place for providing and evaluating prehabilitation. Furthermore, there has been a lack of consideration of the impact of psychological and behavioural factors within prehabilitative practice. In this paper, we outline our scoping review protocol to systematically review published and unpublished literature on psychological interventions in prehabilitation that have been implemented and evaluated across various care settings. The JBI scoping review methodology framework will guide the conduct of this scoping review
Influence potassium humate and vostok EM-1 drugs on yield and quality of Soybean Variety Ivan Karamanov in the conditions of the Primorskii Krai
The article presents the research results of the influence potassium humate and effective microorganisms on soybean variety Ivan Karamanov plants on survival, preservation, yield, crop structure and seed quality. The results were obtained as follows. The preservation ability of soybean plants in the control variant was 90%, it increased by 2% when treated with potassium humate and it increased by 3% when treated with Vostok EM-1. The use of potassium humate and effective microorganisms increases the soya leaf surface area. Treatment of soybean plants with growth regulators during the growing season beneficially affects the growth and development of the root system. The length of the main root and the mass of the root system increases when plants are treated with potassium humate. The number of nodules increases almost fourfold from 7.2 in the control variant and it increases to 27.9 in the variant with potassium humate. The attachment height of the lower bean increases by 2.2 cm when treating plants with potassium humate which reduces losses during harvesting. The productivity of a single plant increases from 4.73 g to 5.54 g when treated with potassium humate and to 5.16 g when treated with effective microorganisms. The yield of soya increases by 0.44 t / ha when treated with potassium humate compared to the control variant which corresponds to 19.7%, and when treated with effective microorganisms it increases by 12.6%. Treatment of plants with potassium humate and effective microorganisms contributes to the production of higher quality seeds. Laboratory seed germination without treatment was 88.0%, it was 96.5% when treated with potassium humate and it was 91.0 % when treated with effective microorganisms
Variation in lifting kinematics related to individual intrinsic lumbar curvature:An investigation in healthy adults
Objective Lifting postures are frequently implicated in back pain. We previously related responses to a static load with intrinsic spine shape, and here we investigate the role of lumbar spine shape in lifting kinematics. Methods Thirty healthy adults (18-65 years) performed freestyle, stoop and squat lifts with a weighted box (6-15 kg, self-selected) while being recorded by Vicon motion capture. Internal spine shape was characterised using statistical shape modelling (SSM) from standing mid-sagittal MRIs. Associations were investigated between spine shapes quantified by SSM and peak flexion angles. Results Two SSM modes described variations in overall lumbar curvature (mode 1 (M1), 55% variance) and the evenness of curvature distribution (mode 2 (M2), 12% variance). M1 was associated with greater peak pelvis (r=0.38, p=0.04) and smaller knee flexion (r=-0.40, p=0.03) angles; individuals with greater curviness preferred to lift with a stooped lifting posture. This was confirmed by analysis of those individuals with very curvy or very straight spines (|M1|>1 SD). There were no associations between peak flexion angles and mode scores in stoop or squat trials (p>0.05). Peak flexion angles were positively correlated between freestyle and squat trials but not between freestyle and stoop or squat and stoop, indicating that individuals adjusted knee flexion while maintaining their preferred range of lumbar flexion and that 'squatters' adapted better to different techniques than 'stoopers'. Conclusion Spinal curvature affects preferred lifting styles, and individuals with curvier spines adapt more easily to different lifting techniques. Lifting tasks may need to be tailored to an individual's lumbar spine shape.</p
Feasibility and acceptability of exercise interventions for adults with tendinopathy: a mixed methods review.
This is a protocol for a review that aims to explore the feasibility and acceptability of any exercise intervention for the treatment of any tendinopathy. The first specific review question is: What is the current knowledge about the feasibility of delivering exercise interventions for tendinopathy from the perspective of those delivering and receiving interventions? Specifically: a) How feasible is the delivery of exercise therapy for tendinopathy in terms of rates (e.g. of adherence, attendance, fidelity); and b) What are patients' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of the feasibility of exercise therapy for tendinopathy? The second specific review question is: What is the current knowledge about acceptability of receiving exercise therapy for tendinopathy from the perspective of people with tendinopathy? Specifically: a) How acceptable is exercise therapy in terms of tolerability; and b) What are patients' and healthcare professionals' perceptions of the acceptability of exercise therapy for tendinopathy
