"The Psychology of Police Deadly Force Encounters: Science, Practice, and Police is a fascinating look into the reality of police work. The author integrates noted theories into a "street-wise" understanding of being a police officer. The focus of this book is on the use of deadly force by officers-a topic of considerable importance. The author discusses the psychosocial aspects of deadly force use, stemming from the individual officer, the situation, organizational influences, and the police culture. Expanding further into social issues, the controversial topic of race and use of deadly force is discussed. This depiction looks at both sides-that of racial victimization and that of the police-which helps to provide a rather unique perspective on this important issue. Of interest, the author breaks down the different dimensions of cognition as a factor in decision making among police, including the perception of the situation, the action taken depending on that perception, and the role of present and past memory. This will make for a useful training topic to alert officers to the cognitive processes that go into deadly force use-processes that they have the control to change to make a better decision. Next, the book delves into the biological factors that may be involved in police decision making-again where deadly force is involved. The various negative psychological impacts that a deadly force situation may bring about are identified and explained. This book will be useful as a tool for both law enforcement practitioners and researchers to better understand the intricacies of deadly force by the police. For researchers, the book has a multitude of references available for further exploration. It will prove to be a useful guide and reference volume for police managers and supervisors, mental health clinicians, investigators, attorneys, judges, law enforcement educators and trainers, rank and file police officers, including expert witnesses"--

Tacrolimus is a calcineurin inhibitor immunosuppressant that has been widely used in the last decade. The recommended doses and therapeutic ranges have changed since the initial introduction of the drug. In fact, combinations of immunosuppressants are used because the trend is to maintain low tacrolimus levels in order to avoid undesirable effects. Whole blood tacrolimus concentrations are targeted between 5 and 10 ng/mL. Tacrolimus is characterized by a narrow therapeutic index and by a high degree of both between and withi-individual pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamic and pharmacogenetic variability. Therapeutic drug monitoring is an important key to increase success of transplantation, optimal suppression is essential to maintain a viable allograft Le tacrolimus est un immunosuppresseur inhibiteur de la calcineurine largement utilisé depuis quelques années. Les doses et les zones thérapeutiques recommandées pour ce médicament ont évolué avec le temps. En effet, des associations d’immunosuppresseurs sont utilisées dans le but de maintenir des concentrations sanguines de tacrolimus à un niveau bas de manière à éviter les effets indésirables. La zone thérapeutique visée actuellement englobe des concentrations de 5 à 10 ng/mL. L’index thérapeutique est étroit mais la variabilité inter- et intra-individuelle est élevée pour cette molécule, que ce soit au niveau de la pharmaocynamie, de la pharmacocinétique ou de la pharmacogénétique. Le monitoring thérapeutique du tacrolimus prend dès lors toute son importance, les concentrations sanguines devant être maintenues à un niveau optimal chez les patients transplantés

Spirou, est, avec Tintin et Astérix, un véritable mythe de la BD européenne : ses aventures se sont vendues à plus de 75 millions d'albums, son magazine représente trois-quarts de siècle de publication hebdomadaire ininterrompue, près de 3900 numéros qui ont produit des centaines d'albums diffusés dans le monde entier, et fait naître, entre autres, Gaston Lagaffe, les Schtroumpfs, Lucky Luke, les Tuniques Bleues, Boule et Bill. Spirou est une référence de la bande-dessinée qui a créé un style: l'aventure humoristique. Entre le personnage vintage de Franquin et ses multiples réinventions, ou au travers de son journal et de l'invention d'un style d'humour, Spirou est plus qu'un personnage, c'est un univers, une icone de la BD, et bien vivante. Alors peut-être que derrière le nom "Spirou" si évocateur et personnel, il y a en fait ce quelque chose que tous partagent: un esprit Spirou. Cet "esprit Spirou" est au centre de ce film documentaire, qui va explorer comment un personnage et son magazine nés dans la province de Charleroi, Belgique, ont réussi à créer un style de bande-dessinée qui va durablement marquer la culture populaire européenne, et des générations de lecteurs. A l'occasion des 75 ans de Spirou, le film raconte son histoire, depuis le bureau de l'imprimeur carolo Jean Dupuis en 1938, jusqu'aux projets les plus récents, révélant des arcanes peu connues, et replaçant dans leur contexte social et historique les moments marquants; mais ce dans une forme originale, mêlant fictions, archives, interviews, et de très nombreux documents graphiques rares et souvent originaux, pour former un tout hybride qui raconte, et surtout fétichise la bande-dessinée et remet au centre du propos le plaisir du lecteur, quelle que soit sa génération.
