The Saccharomyces cerevisiae MAG gene encodes a 3-methyladenine DNA glycosylase that protects cells from killing by alkylating agents. MAG mRNA levels are induced not only by alkylating agents but also by DNA-damaging agents that do not produce alkylated DNA. We constructed a MAG-lacZ gene fusion to help identify the cis-acting promoter elements involved in regulating MAG expression. Deletion analysis defined the presence of one upstream activating sequence and one upstream repressing sequence (URS) and suggested the presence of a second URS. One of the MAG URS elements matches a decamer consensus sequence present in the promoters of 11 other S. cerevisiae DNA repair and metabolism genes, including the MGT1 gene, which encodes an O6-methylguanine DNA repair methyltransferase. Two proteins of 26 and 39 kDa bind specifically to the MAG and MGT1 URS elements. We suggest that the URS-binding proteins may play an important role in the coordinate regulation of these S. cerevisiae DNA repair genes.

Full textAbstract:
The performance of the urine reagent strips (URS) in detecting the presence and estimating the intensity of Schistosoma haematobium infection was evaluated using urine filtration microscopy as a reference standard. Urine samples collected from 1288 school-age children living in five villages of the Afar and one village in the Gambella Regional States of Ethiopia between October 2021 and April 2022 were examined using urine filtration and URS. The prevalence of S. haematobium infection was 31.6% based on urine filtration and 32.1% using URS. Using results of the urine filtration as a reference, the sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive values, and accuracy of the URS in detecting S. haematobium egg-positive urine specimens were 73.7%, 87.8%, 87.1%, and 82.8%, respectively. Sensitivity increased significantly with an increase in the urine egg count. Specificity was greater in low prevalence settings and among children aged 5–9 years. The level of hematuria detected was trace (19.1%), weak (30.2%), moderate (36.0%), or high (14.7%). The log odds of showing higher-level hematuria significantly increased as the number of egg counts in urine increased. In conclusion, URS remains good in rapidly screening individuals for S. haematobium infection, but the sensitivity of the test could be lower, particularly when the intensity of the infection is light.

"Role of spinal serotonergic pathways in sneeze-induced urethral continence reflex in rats."

Full textAbstract:
To clarify the role of spinal serotonergic mechanisms in preventing stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during sneezing, we investigated the effect of intrathecal (it) application of 8-OH-DPAT (a 5-HT1A agonist), mCPP (a 5-HT2B/2C agonist), and fluoxetine (a serotonin reuptake inhibitor) using a rat model that can examine the neurally evoked continence reflex during sneezing. Amplitudes of urethral pressure responses during sneezing (A-URS), urethral baseline pressure (UBP) at the midurethra, and sneeze-induced leak point pressure (S-LPP) were measured in normal female adult rats and rats with SUI induced by vaginal distention (VD). In normal rats, 8-OH-DPAT decreased A-URS by 48.9%, whereas mCPP increased A-URS by 33.6%. However, A-URS was not changed after fluoxetine. 8-OH-DPAT, mCPP, or fluoxetine did not alter UBP. The effect of 8-OH-DPAT and mCPP was antagonized by WAY-100635 (it), a selective 5-HT1A antagonist, and RS-102221 (it), a selective 5-HT2C antagonist, respectively. Fluoxetine in the presence of WAY-100635 did not change either A-URS or UBP, but fluoxetine in the presence of RS-102221 decreased A-URS. In VD rats, S-LPP was decreased by 14.6 cmH2O after 8-OH-DPAT, whereas it was increased by 12.8 cmH2O after mCPP. However, S-LPP was not changed after fluoxetine. These results indicate that activation of 5-HT2C receptors enhances the active urethral closure reflex during sneezing at the spinal level, whereas 5-HT1A inhibits it and that no apparent changes in the sneeze-induced continence reflex after fluoxetine treatment are due to coactivation of excitatory 5-HT2C receptors and inhibitory 5-HT receptors other than the 5-HT1A subtype. Thus, activation of excitatory 5-HT receptor subtypes such as 5-HT2C could be effective for the treatment of SUI.

Previous issue date: 2010-11-08The objective of this work which is characterized as an applied research, with a qualitative exploratory approach and has case study character has been the analysis of the conceptions and dealings of health professionals of SAMU in Natal RN about the attendance of psychiatric urgencies. The information was collected between the months of March and April of 2010, by means of semi-structured interviews, performed with 24 health professionals integrating of SAMU-Natal as well as the usage of direct observation technique, performed in the institution's medical regulation room. Both the number of professionals involved in the interviews and the bringing about of the observations, were determined by saturation methods in qualitative research's information collecting. The interviews and observations were transcribed and submitted to contents analysis technique , more specifically, to thematic analysis, which made possible to reach the deepest levels, that go beyond what has simply been manifest in the speech of the interviewed, getting to the relations among the categories and social structures of the issue of the research. Keeping this in mind, three analysis categories have been built, namely: conceptions and concepts of psychiatric urgencies shared by health professionals in SAMU-Natal; attendances to psychiatric urgencies in SAMU-Natal; and the Brazilian Psychiatric Reformation under the view of the SAMU-Natal's health professionals. Reflection about the analyzed information revealed discussions pertaining to the stigma and prejudice on mental illness, and also, pointed out to some hindrances which impair the attendance to individuals in mental suffering in SAMU-Natal. The interviewed health professionals' conceptions on the individual in psychical crisis involve concepts of unpredictability, aggressiveness and risk, stigmatizing elements and historically associated to the social hazard ideology and need for mentally sicks' segregation. The predominance of these conceptions, seen in health professionals speech, had identifiable reflexes on assistance to psychiatric demands performed by SAMU-Natal, namely: indiscriminate request for military police's presence during psychic crisis intervention, neglect about occasions that involve mental health patients, as well as repetitive assisting practice directed on physical contention, and transportation to psychiatric hospital. Associated to it, the professionals have shown distorted and reductionist understanding about Brazilian Psychiatric Reformation, and, in the majority, haven't lent credibility to present model of attention to mental health, based on psycho-social treatment, pointing their speech to a need for psychiatric patient's internment. In this sense, we notice that the hospital-centered and excluding model conceived by classical psychiatry still remains alive in these health professionals' mentality as a reference to psychiatric urgency's assistance. Therefore, the research revealed a sequence of elements, that make us think about the challenges that health sector and society must face to realize Brazilian Psychiatric Reformation's principles and guidelines
O objetivo desse trabalho, caracterizado como uma pesquisa aplicada, de abordagem qualitativa, explorat?ria e do tipo estudo de caso, foi analisar as concep??es e pr?ticas dos profissionais de sa?de do SAMU de Natal-RN sobre o atendimento ?s urg?ncias psiqui?tricas. As informa??es foram coletadas entre os meses de mar?o e abril de 2010, por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas realizadas com 24 profissionais de sa?de lotados no SAMUNatal e da utiliza??o da t?cnica da observa??o direta, feita na sala de regula??o m?dica da institui??o. Tanto o n?mero de profissionais participantes nas entrevistas quanto o tempo de realiza??o das observa??es foram determinados pelo m?todo da satura??o na coleta de informa??es em pesquisas qualitativas. As entrevistas e observa??es foram transcritas e submetidas ? t?cnica da an?lise de conte?do, mais especificamente, da an?lise tem?tica, o que possibilitou o alcance de n?veis mais profundos, que ultrapassaram o que foi simplesmente manifesto nas falas, atingindo a rela??o entre as categorias e estruturas sociais do problema de pesquisa. Diante disso, foram constru?das tr?s categorias de an?lise, a saber: concep??es e conceitos de urg?ncia psiqui?trica dos profissionais de sa?de do SAMU Natal; a assist?ncia ?s urg?ncias psiqui?tricas no SAMU-Natal; e a Reforma Psiqui?trica brasileira sob o olhar dos profissionais de sa?de do SAMU de Natal-RN. A reflex?o sobre as informa??es analisadas revelaram discuss?es a respeito do estigma e preconceito sobre a doen?a mental, bem como, apontaram para alguns entraves que prejudicam a assist?ncia ao sujeito em sofrimento mental no SAMU-Natal. As concep??es sobre o sujeito em crise ps?quica dos profissionais de sa?de entrevistados envolvem os conceitos de imprevisibilidade, agressividade e do risco, elementos estigmatizantes e historicamente associados ? ideologia da periculosidade social e necessidade de segrega??o do doente mental. O predom?nio dessas concep??es, no discurso dos profissionais de sa?de, tem reflexos identific?veis na assist?ncia prestada pelo SAMU-Natal ?s demandas psiqui?tricas, na qual se destacam: a solicita??o indiscriminada da pol?cia militar durante as interven??es em crise ps?quica, a neglig?ncia com as ocorr?ncias que envolvem pacientes de sa?de mental, bem como, a pr?tica assistencial repetitiva e direcionada ? conten??o f?sica, medica??o e ao transporte para hospital psiqui?trico. Associado a isso, os profissionais demonstraram compreens?es deturpadas e reducionistas da Reforma Psiqui?trica brasileira e, em sua maioria, n?o deram credibilidade ao atual modelo de aten??o ? sa?de mental pautado no tratamento psicossocial, remetendo suas falas ? necessidade de internamento dos pacientes psiqui?tricos. Nesse sentido, percebemos que o modelo hospitaloc?ntrico e excludente concebido pela psiquiatria cl?ssica ainda permanece vivo no ide?rio desses profissionais como refer?ncia para a assist?ncia ?s urg?ncias psiqui?tricas. Portanto, a pesquisa revelou uma s?rie de elementos que nos fazem pensar a respeito dos desafios que o setor sa?de e a sociedade ainda precisam enfrentar para concretizar os princ?pios e diretrizes da Reforma Psiqui?trica brasileira

Questo lavoro analizza la politica dei consumi e l'idea di benessere elaborati dallo Stato-Partito sovietico, nonché la percezione che la popolazione sovietica ne poté avere durante la leadership di Michail S. Gorbačёv, l'ultimo momento della storia sovietica, 1985-1991.
Gli aspetti privilegiati sono, soprattutto, da una parte le pratiche che i cittadini sovietici usarono per accedere al consumo nel quadro della loro vita quotidiana, dall'altra il concetto di benessere e di consumo così come proposto dalle istituzioni e rielaborato dalla società. La ricerca è stata condotta secondo un taglio multidisciplinare, un approccio necessario visto il carattere complesso della tematica oggetto del lavoro di dottorato.
In questa ricerca ho utilizzato come fonti una vasta gamma di articoli presenti nei periodici sovietici – sia scientifici sia popolari – e i materiali raccolti negli archivi moscoviti RGANI e RGAE contenenti documenti ufficiali del PCUS e lettere di cittadini alle istituzioni politiche sovietiche relativi alle tematiche oggetto del lavoro di dottorato.
Il lavoro risulta articolato in quattro capitoli cronologici corrispondenti alle tematiche più rilevanti relativamente a consumi e benessere in URSS, più un'appendice iconografica.

Previous issue date: 2014-03-21This study aims to identify the concepts of professional nursing team on assistance in urgency and psychiatric emergencies in SAMU in Mossor?/RN, identifying the difficulties in implementing an emergency assistance to the user in psychiatric distress in this service and point strategies in pursuit of consolidation and expansion of comprehensive health care to the public. It is a descriptive research with qualitative and exploratory approach. The subjects were employees of the nursing staff of SAMU of that mentioned municipality. Semi-structured interviews are applied as tool for data collection. It was counted on the consent of the institution where the study was developed and approval by the Ethics Committee in Research of UFRN with CAAE No 17326513.0.0000.5537, besides signing the Informed Free Consent Term by the participants. Data analysis was done by means of thematic analysis proposed by Bardin. Thus , as a result of the research produced the following categories: mechanistic practice; dehumanization of care; need for qualification, barriers to assistance in urgency and psychiatric emergency and strategies in pursuit of comprehensive care, which proceeded in preparing two articles entitled "Nursing care to the emergency room and psychiatric emergencies in the mobile emergency care service" and "Barriers for emergency service and psychiatric emergencies in the mobile emergency care service". In the studied reality it was identified that nursing care offered to users in situations of urgency and psychiatric emergency is made based primarily on the use of chemical and physical restraints, as well as transportation to the general hospital, constantly using the police force support, which meets the guidelines of the Psychiatric Reform and thereby undermining the provision of an effective and humane care. This scenario is worsened by the lack of an organized network of services in mental health, where after the service the user is taken to a general hospital, considering that there is no ready or appropriate psychiatric emergency service as a Center of Psychosocial Care - CAPs III to reference it, thereby precluding the realization of a resolute and comprehensive care. Thus, it is concluded that nursing care is based on biologicist and medicine-centered model advocated by classical psychiatry, and that despite all the advances in psychiatric reform, still guides the mental health care, so the lack of service network organized in hierarchical and mental health, where the user in urgency and emergency service can be watched in full and the guidelines of the psychiatric reform can be realized in practice
O presente estudo tem como objetivo conhecer as concep??es dos profissionais da equipe de enfermagem sobre a assist?ncia em urg?ncias e emerg?ncias psiqui?tricas no Servi?o de Atendimento M?vel de Urg?ncia (SAMU) em Mossor?/RN, identificar as dificuldades existentes na implementa??o de uma assist?ncia de emerg?ncia ao usu?rio em sofrimento psiqui?trico neste servi?o e apontar as estrat?gias na busca de uma consolida??o e amplia??o de uma assist?ncia integral a esse p?blico. Trata-se de pesquisa do tipo descritiva com abordagem qualitativa e de car?ter explorat?rio. Os sujeitos foram trabalhadores da equipe de enfermagem do SAMU do referido munic?pio. Emprega-se a entrevista semiestruturada como instrumento de coleta de dados. Contou com a anu?ncia da institui??o onde se desenvolveu o estudo e a aprova??o pelo Comit? de ?tica em Pesquisa da UFRN, com CAAE n? 17326513.0.0000.5537, al?m da assinatura do Termo de Consentimento Livre e Esclarecido pelos participantes. A an?lise de dados se fez por meio da An?lise Tem?tica proposta por Bardin. Desta forma, como resultado da pesquisa elaborou-se as seguintes categorias: pr?tica mecanicista; desumaniza??o da assist?ncia; necessidade de qualifica??o, entraves para uma assist?ncia em urg?ncia e emerg?ncia psiqui?trica e estrat?gias na busca da assist?ncia integral, o que procedeu na elabora??o de dois artigos intitulados Assist?ncia de enfermagem ?s urg?ncias e emerg?ncias psiqui?tricas no servi?o de atendimento m?vel de urg?ncia e Entraves para o atendimento ?s urg?ncias e emerg?ncias psiqui?tricas no servi?o de atendimento m?vel de urg?ncia . Na realidade estudada identificou-se que a assist?ncia de enfermagem ofertada aos usu?rios em situa??o de urg?ncia e Emerg?ncia psiqui?trica ? realizada baseada principalmente na utiliza??o de conten??es qu?micas e f?sicas, assim como no transporte para o hospital geral, constantemente utilizando o acionamento de for?a policial, o que vai de encontro as diretrizes da Reforma Psiqui?trica e assim comprometendo a oferta de uma assist?ncia efetiva e humanizada. Esse cen?rio agrava-se pela falta de um rede de servi?os em sa?de mental organizada, onde ap?s o atendimento o usu?rio ? levado a um hospital geral, tendo em vista que n?o existe um pronto socorro psiqui?trico ou servi?o apropriado, como um Centro de Atendimento Psicossocial CAPs III para referenci?-lo, impossibilitando assim a realiza??o de um atendimento resolutivo e integral. Dessa forma, conclui-se que a assist?ncia de enfermagem baseia-se no modelo biologicista e medicaloc?ntrico, defendido pela psiquiatria cl?ssica e que apesar de todos os avan?os da reforma psiqui?trica, ainda norteia a assist?ncia em sa?de mental, assim a falta de rede de atendimento em sa?de mental organizada e hierarquizada, onde o usu?rio em situa??o de urg?ncia e emerg?ncia psiqui?trica possa ser assistido de forma integral e as diretrizes da Reforma Psiqui?trica possam ser concretizadas na pr?tica

Full textAbstract:
The activity of interest groups in the political process of the European Union has given rise to a broad debate concerning the effect on European democracy these groups have. As relatively powerful political actors, the question of these groups’ views on the EU and how the union should be is an important one. The status of these groups owns democratic representation also affects the democratic status of the EU. Being based on a number of theories, this study adopts an ideology analysis for the purpose of testing these theories on two cases – the Swedish environmental organizations World Wide Fund for Nature and The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation. This study conducts an investigation of these questions based on theories of interest group involvement in politics, aswell as the broader theories of pluralism and corporatism in a democratic political system. The question of representation is examined based on different perspectives and theories of representation, specifically on discursive representation which offers a view unlike the normal one of representing individuals or voters. The analysis shows varying support for the pluralist and corporatist view of politics, aswell as clear support for the discursive representation together with the more “traditional” view of representation.

Full textAbstract:
Problemområde: Barn i förskolan delar en specifik kamratkultur som innehåller kunskaper och information om gruppens sociala vardagsliv. För att kunna bekräfta, förstå och respektera barns relationer behöver pedagoger analysera och agera utifrån barns perspektiv. Om man erkänner barn som kompetenta aktörer och barngruppen som en viktig tillgång för det pedagogiska arbetet, behöver alla som arbetar inom förskolan uppmärksamma det barnen själva bidrar med i verksamheten. Syfte: Det övergripande syftet med studien är att undersöka hur barns erfarenheter, uppfattningar och förståelse av tillhörighet kan komma till uttryck i en specifik förskolegrupp. Avsikten är att identifiera hur kamratkulturen speglas ur barns perspektiv. Dessutom är avsikten att diskutera vilken betydelse kunskapsbidraget om barns kamratkulturer kan ha för pedagogers och specialpedagogers förståelse av barns förskolevardag och för olika pedagogiska ställningstaganden. Frågeställningar:Hur uttrycker barnen i undersöknings gruppen genom ord och handling sina upplevelser av tillhörighet och hur förhandlar de om tillhörighet? Hur gestaltar sig inneslutningens komplexitet i denna undersökningsgrupp och hur kommer den till uttryck i barnens förskolevardag? Hur ser mönster och roller i kamratkulturen, och hur kan de beskrivas?Utgångspunkt är den barndomssociologiska teorin och Corsaros (2003, 2011) teori om kamratkulturer. Löfdahl (2004) Tellgren (2004) och Skånfors (2013) är tre svenska forskare som använt och utvecklat kamratkulturteorin och satt in den i ett svenskt förskolesammanhang. Deras forskning utgör en del av underlaget för tidigare forskning i denna studie. Metod: Detta är en kvalitativ studie inspirerad av etnografisk ansats utförd på en förskolevdelning. Studien är multimetodisk. Fältanteckningar, deltagandeobservationer, intervjuer, samtalspromenader samt samlingar med kompistema utgör underlag för att skapa en förståelse för barns perspektiv. Resultatet visar i likhet med tidigare studier på barns angelägenhet att vara en del av gemenskapen samtidigt som de visar att det är viktigt för dem att skydda densamma. Ett resultat som skiljer sig från tidigare studier är hur barnen sparar och återupptar lekteman och aktiviteter efter avbrott, vilket får konsekvenser i kamratkulturen. Studiens resultat visar att grupprocesser utgör en betydande del av varje barns dag på förskolan. Kunskapsbidraget: De kunskaper och erfarenheter som barn bär med sig från upplevda kamratkulturer kommer att få betydelse för barnens deltagande i andra kulturer de ingår i och kommer att ingå i. Barnens kompisrelationer och arbete med tillhörighet i förskolan behöver därför uppmärksammas och diskuteras. Detta arbete är ett bidrag till att skapa förståelse för och kunskap om barns egna kamratkulturer.Specialpedagogiska implikationer: Kamratkulturteorin är viktig att beakta och använda i förskolans vardag för att inte ta barns kamratkulturer för självklara. Med synsättet att människans kompetens är beroende av kontexten kan det specialpedagogiska uppdraget bidra till att utveckla verksamheten i förhållande till hur hela förskolemiljön är organiserad, för att främja alla barns möjligheter till goda kamratrelationer.

Syftet med mitt arbete är att belysa hur metoden lekarbete operationaliseras i olika lekpedagogers arbete. I samband härmed har jag undersökt om litteraturens beskrivning av metoden stämmer överens med hur lekpedagogerna utför den. Jag har även undersökt pedagogers förutsättningar att bedriva lekarbete i förskola och skola, delaktighet för barn och föräldrar, pedagogernas förhållningssätt till dokumentation och lekmaterial kring lekarbetsmetoden i förskola och skola, samt hur lekpedagogerna beskriver lekarbetets syfte och målgrupp. Det är en kvalitativ undersökning med halvstrukturerad intervju med sammanlagt sex lekarbetspedagoger, varav tre lekpedagoger i förskolan och tre lekpedagoger i skolan.

This report is an analysis from a gender perspective of more than three hundred minutes in sports broadcasting on SVT and TV4. The study explains how air time is divided between male and female athletes as well as which sports, male or female, get the most air time. The sports are also categorized according to attitudes about the sports being masculine, feminine or neutral. In this way the study also shows the categories of sports that are given the most airtime. Our view before the study was that from a media perspective, the Swedish sports world was very male dominated. The results show that male athletes get more exposure than female athletes on both channels, this despite the fact that the membership of the Swedish sports clubs is fairly evenly divided between men and women.

Full textAbstract:
Although urinary tract stone disease is less common in the pediatric age group than in adults, the increasing incidence of this problem in the last two decades, higher rate of recurrences and the difficulty of interventions make the this population very special for urologists from certain aspects. Continuity of normal renal functional status, complete stone elimination and prevention of stone recurrence are the most important parameters of treatment strategies for urologists. It has been well indicated that management and prevention of stone disease may cause serious morbidity along with a considerable financial cost. When compared with adult ones, based on the well documented metabolic derangements in approximately fifty per cent and anatomical abnormalities in approximately one third of the patients, pediatric stone formers require a detailed urological and metabolic evaluation. In order to plan the best surgical treatment, anatomical characteristics of the urinary system, the presence of obstruction and infection and the location as well as the size of the stone(s), must be taken into consideration. Anatomical and metabolic abnormalities should be treated in an effective manner on time. In addition to a vigorous medical treatment to alkalinize the urine and increase urinary citrate levels in certain cases; adequate fluid intake to increase urine volume and necessary lifestyle changes should be strongly recommended. With respect to the endourological stone management, all available alternatives can be performed in an effective and safe manner in these cases based on the technological advances, improvements in surgical instruments and most importantly experience gained from the adult population. Today, minimal (non) invasive management options for pediatric stones include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), semirigid ureteroscopy (URS), retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS), percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), laparoscopic, robot-assisted laparoscopic and open surgery. While URS, RIRS, PCNL, and laparoscopic procedures require more expertise, SWL is still the first most practicle, non-invasive choice for the vast majority of pediatric stones with its highly effective and safe nature resuting in higher stone-free rates. Open surgery always remains as an alternative treatment option for large and complicated stones with anatomical abnormalities.

Ces lois et principes, dans les sociétés traditionnelles africaines, n’ont jamais fait l’objet de documents écrits et cependant sont toujours présents dans la mémoire de tous. Les contes participent de façon dynamique à la pérennisation de cette vie en société et il serait souhaitable de les réintroduire dans l’Enseignement /Apprentissage en milieu scolaire, social et familial en Afrique noire pour permettre aux jeunes de se familiariser avec les mœurs et règles qui régissent le fonctionnement de la société.

Full textAbstract:
De nombreuses études font apparaître une érosion du plurilinguisme dans les Institutions européennes et plus largement parmi les populations européennes. L’usage de l’anglais est devenu, plus que celui d’une lingua franca , une composante centrale du code social des élites, en particulier dans les échanges internationaux et donc européens et cette situation oriente les représentations et donc les choix des populations vers une prédilection pour son apprentissage exclusif. Il est vain de nier la réalité, peu efficace de la déplorer, contreproductif de la dénoncer ou de s’escrimer à reprocher à ceux, qui s’expriment dans l’anglais que l’on sait ou qui s’ingénient à l’apprendre en exclusivité, leur peu de conscience linguistique ou leur patriotisme sélectif. Les valeurs liées au respect du plurilinguisme ou à la promotion de la diversité linguistique semblent peser bien peu à côté des intérêts des individus et des États. La chose est entendue. De même, et s’agissant des francophones institutionnels, l’observation, la réprimande et les engagements obtenus des États et gouvernements, ne se sont pas avérés des dispositifs et attitudes, sinon stratégies, très efficaces et la Représentation permanente de l’Organisation internationale de la Francophonie auprès de l’Union européenne, pour sa part, préfère former en français les négociateurs et les rédacteurs des États et proposer l’expertise des francophones, leurs initiatives, leurs concertations, voire leurs coalitions, afin de légitimer spontanément l’usage du français. Elle observe quotidiennement que cette démarche est infiniment plus porteuse que celle d’exigence au titre de son statut de langue de travail, qui vaut surtout dans l’esprit des francophones et est souvent perçue par les autres comme une marque d’arrogance de leur part. C’est par la pertinence du propos de ses utilisateurs, voire par son impertinence, que le français s’est imposé, mais mieux, qu’il a été adopté dans les cœurs et les esprits à une époque et c’est par les mêmes caractéristiques, adaptées à la nôtre, qu’il le demeurera. À charge pour les francophones d’être à la hauteur de leurs glorieux prédécesseurs, de quitter la voie de la langue de bois, du consensus a minima, du mimétisme civilisationnel navrant, du politiquement correct, de la pensée unique, qui effectivement s’exprime le plus souvent en anglais, bien que les anglophones n’en aient pas l’exclusivité, tant s’en faut.

For over five decades the Sellafield Site has been central to the UK’s nuclear programme. Now operated by Sellafield Ltd, under the management of Parent Body Organisation Nuclear Management Partners (NMP), a consortium of URS Washington Division, AMEC and AREVA is focussed on the decommissioning of historical facilities. When Decommissioning commenced in the late 1980’s the site focus at that time was on commercial reprocessing and waste management. Now through the implementation of a company change programme, emphasis has shifted towards accelerated risk and hazard reduction of degraded legacy plants with nuclear inventory whilst ensuring value for money for the customer, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. This paper will describe the management success by the Site owners in delivering a successful change programme. The paper will explain how the site has transitioned to the INPO Standard Nuclear Performance Model (SNPM) and how through the use of a change maturity matrix has contributed to the accelerated reduction in high risk high hazard nuclear facilities. The paper will explain in detail how the Decommissioning Programme Office has facilitated and coordinated the Governance and assured delivery of the change plan and how successful application of visual management has aided the communication of its progress. Finally, the paper will discuss how the Delivery Schedules have proved critical for presenting the change plan to Key Stakeholders, Government Owners and Powerful Regulators. Overall, this paper provides an insight into how a massive change programme is being managed within one of the world’s highest regulated industries.

For over five decades the Sellafield Site has been central to the UK’s nuclear programme. Sellafield Ltd is managed by NMP (Nuclear Management Partners), a consortium of URS, AMEC and AREVA and is focussed on the decommissioning of historical facilities. When the activity of Decommissioning commenced in the late 1980’s the site focus at that time was on commercial reprocessing and waste management. Now through the implementation of an integrated company change programme, emphasis has shifted towards accelerated risk and hazard reduction of degraded legacy plants with nuclear inventory whilst ensuring value for money for the customer, the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). This paper will describe the management approach that is being taken and the planning tools that are being applied by the Site owners in delivering an integrated change programme across the Decommissioning Directorate. The paper will explain how the management approach to change uses Peer Assist, Rapid Improvement Events, Organisational Review Self Evaluation, Value Stream Analysis and Accelerated Improvement Events as improvement tools. Use of these has enabled downsizing of the organisation, driven out hundreds of man day efficiencies within the maintenance and asset management areas, improved the management of spares reducing annual costs by £1000’s, improved Commercial practices by fast tracking the preparation of invitations to tender for critical contracts, rolled back radiological control areas and enabled quicker access to the workface at a reduced cost. This paper will explain in detail how the Decommissioning Directorate Programme Office has implemented planning tools such as governance, identification of opportunities, benefit evaluation and prioritisation and sanction of the optimum improvements and how through the use of a balanced scorecard, delivery of the improvements has been measured ensuring that the targets are met. Finally, the paper will discuss how the Performance Improvement Action Plan has proved to be critical for presenting the change plan and its delivery to key stakeholders, Government owners and powerful regulators. Overall, this paper provides an insight into how a massive change programme is being managed within one of the world’s highest regulated industries.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Austempering heat treatments of steels and cast irons are usually performed using salt bath quenching followed by isothermal transformation of austenite to bainite or ausferrite. High Pressure Gas Quenching (HPGQ) at 1-4 MPa gas pressures is increasingly used to replace oil quenching, but may also be used for austempering. However, to obtain sufficient heat transfer high gas speeds >25 m/s are required. Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is widely used for densifying castings and powder-based materials. Recent equipment developments enable Uniform Rapid Quenching (URQ) under 200 MPa pressure and 0.3 m/s speed, providing uniform cooling. Superplastic conditions during austenitization and initially during URQ reduce residual stresses and eliminate internal porosity in castings and PM materials. Hardenability is increased due to stabilization of the close-packed austenite. The inherent freedom provided by HIP to select optimum levels and rates for temperatures and pressures has shown to improve mechanical properties and reduce process duration.

Full textAbstract:
The main goal of the proposed research was to continue the mutual investigations into the molecular basis of CMS and male fertility restoration [MRF], with the ultimate goal of understanding these phenomena in higher plants. The experiments focused on: (1) dissecting apart the complex CMS - specific mitochondrial S-Pcf locus, in order to distinguish its essential parts which cause sterility from other parts and study its molecular evolution. (2) Studying the expression of the various regions of the S-Pcf locus in fertile and sterile lines and comparing the structure and ultrastructure of sterile and fertile tissues. (3) Determine whether alteration in respiration is genetically associated with CMS. Our mutual investigations further substantiated the association between the S-Pcf locus and CMS by the findings that the fertile phenotype of a population of unstable petunia somatic hybrids which contain the S-Pcf locus, is due to the presence of multiple muclear fertility restoration genes in this group of progenies. The information obtained by our studies indicate that homologous recombination played a major role in the molecular evolution of the S-Pcf locus and the CMS trait and in the generation of mitochondrial mutations in general. Our data suggest that the CMS cytoplasm evolved by introduction of a urs-s containing sublimon into the main mitochondrial genome via homologous recombination. We have also found that the first mutation detected so far in S-Pcf is a consequence of a homologous recombination mechanism involving part of the cox2 coding sequence. In all the cases studied by us, at the molecular level, we found that fusion of two different cells caused mitochondrial DNA recombination followed by sorting out of a specific mtDNA population or sequences. This sequence of events suggested as a mechanism for the generation of novel mitochondrial genomes and the creation of new traits. The present research also provides data concerning the expression of the recombined and complex CMS-specific S-Pcf locus as compared with the expression of additional mitochondrial proteins as well as comparative histological and ultrastructural studies of CMS and fertile Petunia. Evidence is provided for differential localization of mitochondrially encoded proteins in situ at the tissue level. The similar localization patterns of Pcf and atpA may indicate that Pcf product could interfere with the functioning of the mitochondrial ATPase in a tissue undergoing meiosis and microsporogenesis. Studies of respiration in CMS and fertile Petunia lines indicate that they differe in the partitioning of electron transport through the cytochrome oxidase and alternative oxidase pathways. The data indicate that the electron flux through the two oxidase pathways differs between mitochondria from fertile and sterile Petunia lines at certain redox states of the ubiquinone pool. In summary, extensive data concerning the CMS-specific S-Pcf locus of Petunia at the DNA and protein levels as well as information concerning different biochemical activity in CMS as compared to male fertile lines have been accumulated during the three years of this project. In addition, the involvement of the homologous recombination mechanism in the evolution of mt encoded traits is emphasized.

Full textAbstract:
The long-term integrity of a dented pipeline segment is a complex function of a variety of parameters, including pipe geometry, indenter shape, dent depth, indenter support, pressure history at and following indentation. In order to estimate the safe remaining operational life of a dented pipeline, all of these factors must be accounted for in the assessment. The current project provides pipeline operators with a methodology for assessing and managing dent fatigue, thus making it possible to prioritize response and remedial action(s) in an informed manner. The methodology allows the users to carry out dent ranking/prioritization and dent fatigue life assessment. In addition to the development of the plain dent fatigue life assessment methodology, dent weld and dent metal loss interaction criteria have been developed to ascertain their effect on the fatigue life of a dent. The dent assessment methodology utilizes dent shape information that can be derived from in-line inspection (ILI) data, operating pressure spectra and pipeline material grade. A three-level approach has been developed for assessing the fatigue life or cyclic pressure loading dependent fail-ure of pipeline dents. All three assessment levels draw upon information regarding pipeline operational, material and mechanical damage data. The assessment level selection and accuracy of the results are based upon the complexity of the features, the availability of required data and the level of detail and certainty in the input data. The three levels provide a range of alternatives for integrity management, where the appropriate method to use is dependent on the desired outcome and the available information.
