    Abstract Lopinion publique est le socle de la démocratie, le cœur de son évolution. Apparue au xviiie siècle, elle est tour à tour comprise comme lopinion du plus grand nombre, lopinion rendue publique ou encore lopinion mesurée dans des sondages réguliers. Le but de ce livre est de comprendre le processus de formation et de transformation de lopinion publique. Les textes réunis dans cet ouvrage accessible à tous permettent de faire le point sur une réalité apparemment bien connue, mais dont les enjeux sociaux, économiques et politiques méritent dêtre éclairés par de solides connaissances

    Abstract A significant number of institutionalized children have behavior problems. Socio-emotional skills are fundamental for their adaptation and success throughout life and are usually weakened in this population. Equine-assisted services (EAS) are a form of therapeutic mediation that facilitates and requires the practitioner's participation, contributing to the promotion of various psychomotor and socio-emotional dimensions. This study was developed during 17 sessions of EAS with a psychomotor intervention, which took place individually and weekly and lasted approximately 45 min, with three institutionalized children. A quantitative and qualitative assessment was carried out before and after the intervention to study the effects of an EAS intervention on socio-emotional competencies in the three institutionalized children. There was an improvement in skills, with an impact on intrapersonal skills and marked improvement in self-regulation and self-control, in addition to an improvement in the intentionality of movement and adequacy of gesture to the context. This type of intervention underlies a renewed educational and therapeutic approach, contributing to mental health promotion in this population.

    Abstract Background: Evaluation of the impact of different macular optical coherence parameters on visual acuity as early as 1 day after injection of ranibizumab in patients with subfoveal exsudative age-related macular degeneration.
    Methods: This was an interventional, non randomized, open label prospective study, where we evaluated 20 eyes of 20 patients affected by exudative age-related macular degeneration. These patients were treated with injections of ranibizumab between February 2013 and January 2015. The primary endpoint of this study was to evaluate the early changes in optical coherence tomography parameters (retinal thickness, central and total retinal volume) and impact on best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) obtained by logarithm of minimum resolution using ETDRS protocol in patients treated with a single dose intravitreal injection of ranibizumab (0.5 mg/0.05 mL) during the first month of follow. The patients were evaluated on the first day, them at 7 and 30 days after the treatment. The National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire was applied during the study period to assess early perception of ranibizumab injection effectiveness. The adverse events were monitored throughout the study.
    Results: Central retinal thickness values at 1 (464.0 ± 97.8 µm), 7 (379.9 ± 107.8 µm) and 30 days (365.5 ± 95.1 µm) after ranibizumab injection showed a statically significant reduction when compared with baseline results (
    Conclusion: Intravitreal injection of ranibizumab can produce early changes in optical coherence tomography parameters and an improvement in perceived visual quality of patients with subfoveal exsudative age-related macular degeneration.

    Abstract Objectives: To compare the immediate analgesic effects of 2 kHz or 4 kHz interferential current (IFC) with different amplitude-modulated frequencies (AMFs) (2 Hz or 100 Hz) on chronic low back pain (CLBP).
    Design: Three-arm double-blinded randomized controlled trial.
    Setting: Primary care.
    Participants: 175 patients (19 to 60 years of age, 105 female) with CLBP.
    Interventions: One session of IFC: Interferential group (GI): GI2 kHz/100 Hz, GI2 kHz/2 Hz, GI4  kHz/100 Hz, GI4 kHz/2 Hz, or placebo.
    Main outcomes measures: Pain intensity by numerical rating scale of pain (NRS), McGill Pain Questionnaire (MPQ), and algometry.
    Results: There was a significant difference in NRS scores (P < 0.05) in the GI2 kHz/2 Hz, GI4 kHz/2 Hz, and GI4 kHz/100 Hz groups compared with those of the placebo group (PG), and a significant difference in MPQ scores in the GI4 kHz/2 Hz and GI4 kHz/100 Hz groups compared with those of the PG. In algometry, only the GI4 kHz/100 Hz group showed a significant difference (by 2 points in the lumbar region) compared with the PG. Of the carrier frequencies, an IFC of 4 kHz showed more effective results, although no significant difference was noted between the AMFs.
    Conclusion: An IFC with a carrier frequency of 4 kHz and an AMF of 100 Hz provide immediate analgesic effects in individuals with CLBP.
    Clinical trial registration number: RBR-59YGRB.

    Abstract The environmental and health risks associated with the application of synthetic chemical inputs in agriculture increased the demand for technologies that allow higher performance and quality of vegetable crops by implementing synergistic materials with the principles of sustainability. In this work, the seed coating with the biomass of Dunaliella salina incorporated in a bioplastic film of Manihot esculenta (cassava) was evaluated as an initial growth and secondary compounds stimulator of Coriandrum sativum (coriander) plants. The obtained results demonstrated that the coating stimulated an increase in the germination percentage (28.75%) and also in concentration of bioactive compounds, such as the six-fold increment of caffeic acid (13.33 mg 100 g-1). The carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins present in the microalgae biomass seem to be responsible for these increments once they are known for providing energy to the seedling development and coordinating the secondary metabolites synthesis. As conclusion, we consider the coating with biomass of D. salina an alternative for crop improvement that contributes to the development of sustainable agricultural practices.

    Abstract Currently, the most popular proton exchange membrane (PEM) for fuel cell applications is Nafion. However, Nafion does not retain its high conductivity at high temperatures due to its dependence on water for proton transport. Because operational temperatures higher than the evaporation point of water are desirable, a family of solid acids was investigated. Cations known to transport protons were paired with anions to make acidic salts. Solid acids discussed here include imidazole paired with trifluoromethanesulfuric acid as well as imidazole, benzimidazole and adenine paired with methanesulfonic acid. Solid-state NMR was utilized to show the relative mobility of protons through double-quantum filter (DQF) experiments. The POST-C7 homonuclear dipolar-recoupling scheme was paired with DUMBO homonuclear decoupling to produce ¹H double-quantum coherence buildup curves for the hydrogen-bonded protons of interest. Experimental buildup curves, which reflect both local structure as well as dynamics, are compared to theoretical curves of the static system. The SPINEVOLUTION-simulated curves utilized up to eight pairs of homonuclear dipolar couplings within a sphere of 7 Å diameter centered on the proton of interest. Steep buildup of the DQ curve and maxima at short recoupling times in the buildup curves indicate strong dipole–dipole coupling and are interpreted to indicate limited dynamics of the H-bonded protons. In contrast, shallower buildup curves and maxima at longer recoupling times imply that H-bonded protons (in an otherwise similar structure) are associated with local mobility, which reduces their local dipolar coupling and may facilitate proton transport. Bulk proton conductivities measured via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were compared to DQF measurements to understand proton conduction within these materials.

    Abstract Imidazole phosphate and phosphonate solid acids model the hydrogen-bonding networks and dynamics of the anhydrous electrolyte candidate for proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Solid-state NMR reveals that phosphate and phosphonate anion dynamics dominate the rate of long-range proton transport, and that the presence of a membrane host facilitates proton mobility, as evidenced by a decreased correlation time of the composites (80 ± 15 ms) relative to the pristine salt (101 ± 5 ms). Benzimidazole ethylphosphonate (Bi-ePA) is chosen as a model salt to investigate the membrane system. The hydrogen-bonding structure of Bi-ePA is established using X-ray diffraction coupled with solid-state (1)H-(1)H DQC NMR. The anion dynamics has been determined using solid-state (31)P CODEX NMR. By comparing the dynamics of ethylphosphonate groups in pristine salt and membrane-salt composites, it is clear that the rotation process involves three-site exchange. Through data interpretation, a stretched exponential function is introduced with the stretching exponent, β, ranging 0 < β ≤ 1. The (31)P CODEX data for pristine salt are fitted with single exponential decay where β = 1; however, the data for the membrane-salt composites are fitted with stretched exponential functions, where β has a constant value of 0.5. This β value suggests a non-Gaussian distribution of the dynamic systems in the composite sample, which is introduced by the membrane host.
