L'intégration des principes de la procédure applicables aux modes de prévention et de règlement des différends dans le nouveau "Code de procédure civile"- les effets envisagés sur l'accès à la justice civile au Québec

La problématique liée au manque d’accès à la justice se pose dans toutes les régions du monde. Afin de résoudre celle-ci, l’Assemblée nationale du Québec a adopté, le 20 février 2014, le projet de loi 28, Loi instituant le nouveau Code de procédure civile, 1e sess, 40e lég. À cet égard, la disposition préliminaire indique que le nouveau Code de procédure civile (ci-après : « NCPC »), qui régit dorénavant la procédure applicable aux modes de prévention et de règlement des différends (ci-après : « modes de PRD »), vise à « assurer l’accessibilité, la qualité et la célérité de la justice civile […] ». Au-delà de ces mots, qui ont une grande valeur interprétative, ce mémoire analyse dans quelle mesure l’intégration des principes de la procédure applicables aux modes de PRD dans le NCPC est réellement susceptible d’améliorer l’accessibilité de la justice civile au Québec.

Amélioration de la résolution spatiale de simulations de neige du modèle SNOWPACK dans un contexte de l'accès à la nourriture du caribou de Peary

Le caribou de Peary, désigné en voie de disparition, n’est pas épargné par les changements climatiques. Par le passé, des hivers successifs caractérisés par des conditions météorologiques extrêmes ont entrainé des déclins importants de population en quelques années, pouvant aller jusqu’à 98 %. L’augmentation des épisodes de redoux hivernaux et de pluies sur neige réduit les conditions d’accès à la nourriture de cette sous-espèce. Ces conditions ont pour conséquence d’augmenter la densité des couches de neige dans le manteau neigeux, ce qui empêche le caribou d’avoir accès au fourrage couvrant le sol en hiver. Dans cet esprit, l’outil de spatialisation de SNOWPACK dans l’Arctique (OSSA) développé dans Ouellet et al. (2016) permet la spatialisation des conditions d’accès à la nourriture du caribou de Peary en utilisant le modèle de simulation du couvert nival SNOWPACK. Le paramètre du couvert nival utilisé est l’épaisseur cumulée au-delà d’un seuil fixe de densité durant la saison hivernale (ECD). L'OSSA fournit un résultat d’une résolution spatiale de 32 km puisque les données météorologiques utilisées sont les données de réanalyses du North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) qui possède une résolution de 32 km. Cette résolution grossière ne permet pas de documenter et prédire la migration locale des différentes populations sur les îles de l'archipel arctique canadien. L’objectif principal de ce projet est donc d’évaluer le potentiel d'une approche de raffinement spatial de l'OSSA à une résolution de 1 km. Afin d’affiner la résolution spatiale de la simulation de l’ECD, des données de pente et de l’albédo du sol à une résolution de 1 km ont été utilisées. Avant d’effectuer les simulations à haute résolution, la sensibilité de l’ECD à ces deux paramètres du terrain a été testée. Les simulations préliminaires ont permis de démontrer que plus la pente est élevée, plus l’ECD sera faible. Également, il a été identifié que la pente va affecter l’ECD à partir d’un seuil de 3 degré. L’albédo du sol a aussi un impact significatif sur l’ECD, mais à un niveau moins important que la pente. Finalement, la comparaison des résultats à faible et haute résolution a pu démontrer que l’approche de raffinement spatial appliquée permet d’obtenir une information plus détaillée des conditions d’accès à la nourriture du caribou de Peary. Les résultats d’ECD obtenus à 1 km de résolution montrent des écarts avec l’ECD à 32 km de résolution pouvant dépasser les 2000 cm. Finalement, cette étude montre l’intérêt d’automatiser cette approche afin de pouvoir spatialiser les conditions d’accès à la nourriture à une résolution de 1 km et de prédire certaines micro-variabilités dans les déplacements futurs des caribous de Peary en fonction des changements climatiques.

The Crosslinking Degree Controls The Mechanical, Rheological, And Swelling Properties Of Hyaluronic Acid Microparticles.

Viscosupplements, used for treating joint and cartilage diseases, restore the rheological properties of synovial fluid, regulate joint homeostasis and act as scaffolds for cell growth and tissue regeneration. Most viscosupplements are hydrogels composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) microparticles suspended in fluid HA. These microparticles are crosslinked with chemicals to assure their stability against enzyme degradation and to prolong the action of the viscosupplement. However, the crosslinking also modifies the mechanical, swelling and rheological properties of the HA microparticle hydrogels, with consequences on the effectiveness of the application. The aim of this study is to correlate the crosslinking degree (CD) with these properties to achieve modulation of HA/DVS microparticles through CD control. Because divinyl sulfone (DVS) is the usual crosslinker of HA in viscosupplements, we examined the effects of CD by preparing HA microparticles at 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 5:1 HA/DVS mass ratios. The CD was calculated from inductively coupled plasma spectrometry data. HA microparticles were previously sized to a mean diameter of 87.5 µm. Higher CD increased the viscoelasticity and the extrusion force and reduced the swelling of the HA microparticle hydrogels, which also showed Newtonian pseudoplastic behavior and were classified as covalent weak. The hydrogels were not cytotoxic to fibroblasts according to an MTT (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Prolongamento da amamentação após o primeiro ano de vida: argumentos das mães

This paper aims to identify and analyze the reasons pointed by mothers to prolong breastfeeding beyond the first year of the child s life. The study involved 40 mothers whose children were treated in the Preventive Program of Research and Dental Treatment Center for Special Patients - Dental School of Piracicaba - UNICAMP. The group consisted of mothers who prolonged the breastfeeding beyond the baby s first year of life. All mothers were surveyed by a researcher using a specific questionnaire. In order to avoid information loss, the interviews were taped, then transcripted. Results showed that the main cause of the extended breastfeeding was maternal pleasure. It was also observed that the mother and infant attachment favors prolonged breastfeeding occurrence. Further studies should be carried out for more accurate functional analyses of variable that lead to extend breastfeeding or to wean.

Psicofísica clínica: aplicação de metodologia psicofísica no auxílio de diagnósticos. Descrição de método

A Psicofísica aplicada à Clínica com seres humanos pode prover ferramentas alternativas que auxiliem o acesso objetivo e quantificável a condições internas do paciente, que só poderiam ser obtidas, de outra forma, através de seus relatos e descrições. Um exemplo dessa parceria e aplicação da Psicofísica é o aparelho comercial C-Quant (Oculus Optikgeräte, Alemanha), cujo método psicofísico de acesso ao valor de dispersão de luz na retina foi desenvolvido pelo grupo de pesquisadores holandeses liderados pelo Prof. Dr. Thomas van den Berg, do Netherland Institute of Neuroscience (NIN). O acesso ao valor de dispersão de luz na retina é útil para auxiliar no diagnóstico de várias doenças oculares, como catarata. Neste artigo o método psicofísico presente no aparelho (Comparação da Compensação) é descrito.

From ""Geography of Accumulation"" to ""Geography of Reproduction"": a dialogue with Harvey

This article aims to discuss the space, revealing its powerful in the comprehension of modem world, from the thesis which the geographic space consists itself as condition, medium and product of society reproduction in its totality, evolving several temporal-spatial scales and several levels of reality, that should prolong Marx's work, having in view the construction of a ""social theory of space"" in the sense of a radical critical geography. This argumentation allows to understand, in the limits of geography, the passage of the notion ""production of space"" as condition of the accumulation of capital to the notion ""production of space"" as condition of present reproduction in front of the accumulation crisis. As a starting point, a discussion about some David Harvey's works, who supports the thesis that accumulation crisis of capital would be solved, in the modem world, through the spatial fix.

Development and Characterization of L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine Containing Pellets employing Extrusion-Spheronization Method and Drying Process in Fluidized Bad Equipment.

Development and Characterization of L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine Containing Pellets employing Extrusion-Spheronization Method and Drying Process in Fluidized Bad Equipment"". In this work, five formulations of L-alanyl-L-glutamine (glutamine dipeptide) containing pellets with different drug concentration were developed and evaluated: F1 (9.07%); F2 (17.70%); F3 (27.98%); F4 (37.74%) e F5 (47.53%). Pellets were prepared by extrusion-spheronization method and, further, dried in fluidized bad equipment. The following assays were carried out with the batches obtained: granulometry, friability, true density and morphologic analysis. Between the five formulations evaluated, pellets obtained from F3 present best yield (75.80%), most uniform particle size distribution (89.67% of pellets with size in the range of 0.80 to 1.18), most high true density (2.1634 g/ml) and best aspect (1.0795 +/- 0.0410). Due to these features, pellets obtained from F3 were considered adequate to further polymeric coating process in order to produce a multiparticulate system to prolong L-alanyl-L-glutamine release.

Prostaglandin E(2)-loaded microspheres as strategy to inhibit phagocytosis and modulate inflammatory mediators release

PGE(2), an arachidonic acid metabolite produced by various type of cells regulates a broad range of physiological activities in the endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and immune systems, and is involved in maintaining the local homeostasis. In the immune system, PGE(2) is mainly produced by APCs and it can suppress the Th1-mediated immune responses. The aim of this study was to develop PGE(2)-loaded biodegradable MS that prolong and sustain the in vivo release of this mediator. An o/w emulsion solvent extraction-evaporation method was chosen to prepare the MS. We determined their diameters, evaluated the in vitro release of PGE(2), using enzyme immunoassay and MS uptake by peritoneal macrophages. To assess the preservation of biological activities of this mediator, we determined the effect of PGE(2) released from MS on LPS-induced TNF-alpha release by murine peritoneal macrophages. We also analyzed the effect of encapsulated PGE(2) on inflammatory mediators release from HUVECs. Finally, we studied the effect of PGE(2) released from biodegradable MS in sepsis animal model. The use of this formulation can provide an alternative strategy for treating infections, by modulating or inhibiting inflammatory responses, especially when they constitute an exacerbated profile.

Lentiviral vector-mediated tyro sinase-related protein 2 gene transfer to dendritic cells for the therapy of melanoma

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs), which play a vital role in primary immune responses. Introducing genes into DCs will allow constitutive expression of the encoded proteins and thus prolong the presentation of the antigens derived therefrom. In addition, multiple and unidentified epitopes encoded by the entire tumor-associated antigen (TAA) gene may enhance T cell activation. This study demonstrated that an HIV-1-based lentiviral vector conferred efficient gene transfer to DCs. The transgene, murine tyrosinase-related protein 2 (mTRP-2), encodes a clinically relevant melanoma-associated antigen (MAA), which has been found to be a tumor rejection antigen for B16 melanoma. The transfer and proper processing of mTRP-2 in DCs, in terms of RNA transcription activity and protein expression, were verified by RT-PCR and specific antibody, respectively. Administration of mTRP-2 gene-modified DCs (DC-HR'CmT2) to C57BL/6 mice evoked strong protection against tumor challenge, for which the presence of CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells during both the priming and challenge phase was essential. In a therapy model, our results showed that four of seven mice with preestablished tumor remained tumor free for 80 days after therapeutic vaccination. Given the results shown in this study, mTRP-2 gene transfer to DCs provides a potential therapeutic strategy for the management of melanoma, especially in the early stage of the disease.
