Systematic review of beliefs, behaviours and influencing factors associated with disclosure of a mental health problem in the workplace

Stigma and discrimination present an important barrier to finding and keeping work for individuals with a mental health problem. This paper reviews evidence on: 1) employment-related disclosure beliefs and behaviours of people with a mental health problem; 2) factors associated with the disclosure of a mental health problem in the employment setting; 3) whether employers are less likely to hire applicants who disclose a mental health problem; and 4) factors influencing employers' hiring beliefs and behaviours towards job applicants with a mental health problem

Actionneurs miniatures à alliages à mémoire de forme fabriqués par microstéréophotolithographie

A new method for the fabrication of actuators has been implemented. It is based on polymer structures built using microstereophotolithography ($\mu$SPL) integrating Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) elements. The principle of the proposed approach consists in the assembly of SMA wires together with passive mechanical architectures fabricated using $\mu$SPL techniques. A light aided assembly method based on photopolymerization has been adjusted to clamp SMA parts to $\mu$SPL parts. This approach has been implemented to build actuators using distributed elasticity or liable hinge architectures. These actuators have been associated in parallel or serie to produce new active mechanical components. Some of these actuators have been experimentally tested. The obtained results are presented and discussed.La mise au point d'un procédé de fabrication d'actionneurs associant la microstéréophotolithographie ($\mu$SPL) avec des éléments d'Alliages à Mémoire de Forme (AMF) est décrite dans le présent article. L'idée repose sur l'assemblage de fils d'AMF avec des architectures mécaniques passives en polymère réalisées par $\mu$SPL. Une étape de collage assisté par la lumière (photopolymérisation) permet de lier rigidement les fils d'AMF à la structure polymère. Cette approche a été utilisée pour fabriquer des actionneurs à élasticité répartie ou à charnières déformables. L'association de tels actionneurs en série ou en parallèle donne alors lieu à de nouveaux composants (éléments articulés), dont le principe est présenté. Certains de ces actionneurs ont été testés expérimentalement. Les résultats de ces tests sont reportés et analysés

Microbial Populations Associated with Treatment of an Industrial Dye Effluent in an Anaerobic Baffled Reactor

Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using 16S and 23S rRNA-targeted probes together with construction of an archaeal 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) clone library was used to characterize the microbial populations of an anaerobic baffled reactor successfully treating industrial dye waste. Wastewater produced during the manufacture of food dyes containing several different azo and other dye compounds was decolorized and degraded under sulfidogenic and methanogenic conditions. Use of molecular methods to describe microbial populations showed that a diverse group of Bacteria and Archaea was involved in this treatment process. FISH enumeration showed that members of the gamma subclass of the class Proteobacteria and bacteria in the Cytophaga-Flexibacter-Bacteroides phylum, together with sulfate-reducing bacteria, were prominent members of a mixed bacterial population. A combination of FISH probing and analysis of 98 archaeal 16S rDNA clone inserts revealed that together with the bacterial population, a methanogenic population dominated by Methanosaeta species and containing species of Methanobacterium and Methanospirillum and a relatively unstudied methanogen, Methanomethylovorans hollandica, contributed to successful anaerobic treatment of the industrial waste. We suggest that sulfate reducers, or more accurately sulfidogenic bacteria, together with M. hollandica contribute considerably to the treatment process through metabolism of dye-associated sulfonate groups and subsequent conversion of sulfur compounds to carbon dioxide and methane
