Valentine Eugène, Les Péchés de la langue dans le Roman de Renart. Jeux et enjeux de pratiques communicationnelles transgressives
Authors: Eugène Valentine
Published: February 2025

L’étude met en regard la production théologique et morale sur les fautes langagières (mensonges, parjures, blasphèmes, injures, etc.) entre 1190 et 1260 et la littérature en langue d’oïl. Examinant la façon dont les mauvais usages du langage se diffusent dans le Roman de Renart (1185-1250), ce travail répond d’un double enjeu : apporter un nouveau regard sur la parole dans ces contes ; engager une réflexion plus globale sur les représentations de situations linguistique et sociolinguistique historiquement datées. La question de savoir comment les célèbres aventures du goupil réfléchissent (par un mouvement spéculaire) et réfléchissent sur (en tant qu’opération intellectuelle) ce « siècle » d’intense production de tous ordres (moral, religieux, juridique, etc.) sur les déviances verbales constitue l’un des fils rouges de la réflexion qui ramène assidûment dans l’analyse littéraire des questions de diachronie, de linguistique, de lexicologie, de stylistique, d’éthique et de théologie. Dans cette confrontation entre le texte et son contexte, émerge une série d’interrogations relatives aux notions de jeux et d’enjeux : de quelle(s) façon(s) et dans quelle(s) direction(s) se déploient certaines pratiques communicationnelles sujettes à controverses ? Comment ces dernières sont-elles mises en scène ? Quels sens conférer à leur présence ? Quelles fonctions assument-elles aux niveaux intra- et extra-textuels ?
Des transports publics pour tous (suite) ? Les trajets dans Bruxelles pour les personnes en situation de handicap
Authors: Dobruszkes Frédéric , Grandjean Martin , Nihoul Arthur
Published: February 2025

Cet article étudie le déficit d’accès à la ville en transport public subi par les personnes en situation de handicap à Bruxelles. La recherche est conduite au niveau des itinéraires depuis tous les arrêts de la STIB vers 20 destinations réparties à travers la ville. Les calculs permettent d'établir une comparaison entre des trajets réalisés sans contraintes et des déplacements effectués selon six contraintes de déplacements. Les résultats sont très hétérogènes selon la contrainte de déplacement considérée, l’origine et la destination. Cette recherche met en évidence un grand déficit d’accès à la ville en transport public : avec une contrainte de déplacement, la plupart des trajets requièrent plus de temps, plus de correspondances et plus de marche. L’aspect non inclusif du métro a un impact majeur sur les résultats. Nous concluons qu’il y a beaucoup de potentiel d’amélioration pour rendre les transports publics bruxellois pleinement inclusifs.
Cadavers, Burials and Infections – a hygienic interpretation of Numbers 19:1-21 against the backdrop of African women in the face of pandemics
Authors: Canisius Mwandayi
Published: February 2025

In Jewish culture, the marking of tombs was almost a mandatory practice for fear that priests would walk on them and incur ritual impurity. This practice is alluded in Jesus’ condemnation of the Pharisees when he says: “Woe to you! You are like unseen graves over which people unknowingly walk’ (Luke 11:44). The custom itself stems from laws regulating ritual cleanliness in Numbers 19:1-21. Wholly, this chapter contains regulations pertaining touching a dead human body or a human bone or a grave or being in a tent with such a body as well as regulations on how to cleanse a defiled person. Similarly, in African traditional religion, one finds injunctions which regulated contact with corpses and graves. Though in both cases these regulations originally address the spiritual realm aiming to uphold ritual purity, hygienically, such laws when observed resulted in the prevention of infectious communicable diseases. It is in light of this that this article seeks to invite present generations to reconsider the resources that the ancients used to minimize the spread of communicable diseases. Using sociological criticism to analyze Numbers 19:1-21, it is the argument of this article that there are noticeable positive effects on human health that are connected to the observance of regulations enshrined in this text. In the same way, there is also something of positive value on human health behind the prohibitions that African women tell their children in matters relating to the dead. Leveraging on women agency, one observes that being vanguards of culture, African mothers try their best to warn children against tampering with graves, but their advice seems unheeded as the younger generations attending funerals hardly take time to clean themselves after handling coffins and randomly walk or sit on graves especially during burials. As the pandemics continue to take a huge toll on lives in our contemporary times vis-à-vis SDG 3 which aims at ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all, there is serious need for a mentality shift, especially among the younger generations and to pay heed to the wisdom of our mothers. As the world continues to face an unpreceded threat of new pandemics, this article is a wake-up call to seriously rethink where we are possibly going wrong. It is an invitation to reconsider the resources that ancients used to minimize the spread of communicable diseases.

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are a family of autoaggressive antibodies directed against different components of the nucleus and cytoplasm of cells. The detection of ANA is of primary importance for the laboratory diagnosis of autoimmune diseases (AID). The aim of our study was to compare the presence of specific antinuclear antibodies with different types of antinuclear factor luminescence in children with autoimmune diseases using the HEp-2 test cell line. The study included 40 children (34 girls and 6 boys) with AID who were being treated at the National Medical Research Center for Children’s Health. The age of the patients ranged from 6.28 to 17.99 years. All children were diagnosed with antinuclear factor (ANF) on the HEp-2 cell line (epithelial cells of human laryngeal cancer) by means of indirect immunofluorescence reaction (AESKUSLIDES® ANA-HEp-2, Germany) using a HELIOS® analyzer (AESKU.GROUP, Germany). ANA was determined using a Q-Processor analyzer using Protea ANA Profile 18 panels (ProteomeTech Inc., Korea), which applies the immunoblot analysis method for the qualitative detection of autoantigen-specific IgG antibodies. A positive ANF titer was detected on the HELIOS® analyzer in all children with AIS (100%). Using the Protea ANA Profile 18 panel, specific ANA was identified in 75% of patients (30 children). In our sample of children with AID, homogeneous (AC-1) and nuclear large-granular (AC-5) types of ANF luminescence, as well as their combinations, were most often detected. In the homogeneous type (AC-1) of ANF glow, autoantibodies to dsDNA, Nucleosome and Histone were more often detected. In large-granular nuclear (AC-5) antibodies to RNP 70, RNP A and RNP/Sm were determined, in combination with AC-1 + AC-5 – to SSA 60, SSA 52, Nucleosome and Histone, RNP 70, RNP A. We identified single points in the nucleus (AC-7) in 10% (4 children), this type of ANF glow is characterized by a low positive prognostic value. The study of ANF and specific ANA using the Protea ANA Profile 18 panel revealed a coincidence in 75% of cases, and certain ANA are consistent with the types of ANF luminescence. In pediatric diagnostics, it is advisable to determine a wide range of ANA when detecting antinuclear factor on the Hep-2 cell line.

The damage to the immune system during HIV infection is of systemic oriigin, manifesting by deep suppression of the T- and B-links of cellular immunity. Particular importance in the normal functioning of all physiological systems is given to microelements, which are cofactors of at least 2000 enzymes that catalyze multiple biochemical reactions. Our study concerned measurent of 26 macro- and microelement contents in the hair of HIV-infected patients. It was carried out using the method of neutron activation analysis at the Institute of Nuclear Physics at the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan. The parameters of immunity were evaluated in 50 patients with HIV infection at the Institute of Human Health (Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Uzbekistan). A significant decrease in Cl, Ca, K, Zn, Fe, Cu, Se, Cr, Ag, Co, Au, Ni, Sr, Ba, Hg, Sb, Cd, Rb was revealed in the group. Correction of this condition in HIV-infected persons and macro- microelement status was attempted using Spirulina microalgae as a dietary supplement, a product of natural origin. An analysis of Spirullina tablets was carried out, and the contents of 23 macro-microelements have been specified. The results of our study showed that clinical condition and quality of life was improved in 84% of patients after a month of taking Spirulina. Their physical performance was increased, general condition has been improved, and according to the patients, “the vital tone has increased.” Indices of immune status and contents of macro-microelements have been also improved.

Atopic allergic diseases are widespread in the world. Due to common pathogenesis, various atopies are often combined within this group. Therefore, multiple atopic comorbidity is common phenomenon. To date, atopic dermatitis is one of the most common chronic recurrent skin diseases. Atopic dermatitis is an allergic condition with pronounced local inflammatory events in the skin. Meanwhile, allergic rhinitis (68%), allergic conjunctivitis (22%), atopic bronchial asthma (22%), acute urticaria (19% of cases) were detected as concomitant atopic diseases in patients with this disorder. In our study, local concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNFα, as well as inflammasome-mediated IL-1β and IL-18 were measured using “skin window” technology. In blood serum, the level of vitamin D was determined by electrochemiluminescent analysis in 68 patients with allergies aged 18-45 years and in 62 healthy persons. It was found that the serum levels of vitamin D were significantly lower among the patients with atopic dermatitis, than in control group. The contents of cytokines IL-1β, IL-18, IL-6, and TNFα in “skin window” exudate in atopic dermatitis significantly exceeded similar indexes in the control group. The results of our study suggest an important influence of vitamin D on pathogenesis of atopic disease. In cases of vitamin D deficiency, its clinical course may be aggravated, whereas its increase in blood serum is associated with a decrease in pro-inflammatory cytokines released in the skin. Overproduction of IL-1β and IL-18 indirectly implies the development of intracellular inflammasomes. A negative correlation between the values of vitamin D and inflammasome-mediated cytokines was observed both in atopic dermatitis and in healthy donors. This finding may indicate not only the involvement of vitamin D in pathogenesis and course of this disorder and other concomitant atopies, but may also cause a possible contribution of vitamin D to inhibition of inflammasome assembly and activation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the level of cytokines in the blood serum of patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who had and did not have COVID-19 in the dynamics of the disease and treatment. Our objectives were as follows: To identify groups of patients with ACS who had previously suffered from COVID-19 and who did not have this disease; to determine cytokine levels initially and over time in 2 groups of patients, i.e., those with and without previous COVID-19. Measurement of cytokine levels was carried out in 20 male patients with ACS without a history of COVID-19 and ACS patients with post-COVID syndrome. The contents of cytokines were determined by multiplex analysis on a MagPix 100 device using a test system from BioRad (USA) for 17 cytokines. As based on the data obtained, one may note that in patients who recovered from COVID-19, compared with persons without previous COVID-19, IL-10, IL-1β, IL-8 levels were significantly lower, and IL-13, IL-6, MCP-1 contents were increased. In the course of time, a statistically significant decrease (p 0.05) was found in patients who had previously had COVID-19 for IL-10, IL-13, IL- 2, IL-6, MCP-1, MIP-1β, TNFα, whereas IL-8 levels were increased (p 0.05). In patients without a history of COVID-19, a statistically significant decrease was revealed in dynamics for IFNγ, IL-6, MCP-1, MIP-1β, TNFα, along with increase in IL-8 contents (p 0.05). Patients with post-COVID syndrome, compared with those without a history of COVID-19, had a higher content of pro-inflammatory cytokines, in particular, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1. In the time dynamics after complex therapy (drug and stenting of coronary arteries), there was an improvement in some indices 28 days later. In particular, in both groups (those previously ill, versus not exposed to COVID-19), the following pro-inflammatory cytokines were decreased significantly (p 0.05): IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1, MCP-1β, TNFα. Meanwhile, the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 was increased (p 0.05). Hence, the disturbances in regulation of immunity and, first of all, in chemokine parameters, were obtained in the patients with post-COVID syndrome and ACS, in contrast to the persons with ACS who was not previously affected by COVID-19. In patients with acute coronary syndrome who have recovered from COVID-19, we have found a more pronounced disruption of cytokine regulation of immune system than in patients who did not suffer from the coronavirus infection.
On the parameterized complexity of computing tree-partitions
Authors: Bodlaender Hans L. , Groenland Carla , Jacob Hugo
Published: February 2025

We study the parameterized complexity of computing the tree-partition-width, a graph parameter equivalent to treewidth on graphs of bounded maximum degree. On one hand, we can obtain approximations of the tree-partition-width efficiently: we show that there is an algorithm that, given an $n$-vertex graph $G$ and an integer $k$, constructs a tree-partition of width $O(k^7)$ for $G$ or reports that $G$ has tree-partition-width more than $k$, in time $k^{O(1)}n^2$. We can improve slightly on the approximation factor by sacrificing the dependence on $k$, or on $n$. On the other hand, we show the problem of computing tree-partition-width exactly is XALP-complete, which implies that it is $W[t]$-hard for all $t$. We deduce XALP-completeness of the problem of computing the domino treewidth. Next, we adapt some known results on the parameter tree-partition-width and the topological minor relation, and use them to compare tree-partition-width to tree-cut width. Finally, for the related parameter weighted tree-partition-width, we give a similar approximation algorithm (with ratio now $O(k^{15})$) and show XALP-completeness for the special case where vertices and edges have weight 1.

Exploring Marginalization and Social Injustice: A Critical Discourse Analysis of William Blake's “The Chimney Sweeper”
Authors: Malik Aqsa , Malik Ayesha , Waheed Mariam
Published: February 2025

This research applies Norman Fairclough's model of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) to critically analyze the themes of marginalization and social injustice in William Blake's The Chimney Sweeper. The research qualitatively analyzes both versions of the poem, Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience by William Blake. This study employs a close reading of both the texts in order to find out the forms that power constructions around issues of child labor, class exploitation, and religious ideologies in 18th-century England take, using CDA in three stages: textual analysis, discursive practice, and social practice. From the textual analysis, metaphors, symbolism, imagery, and irony are used in order to symbolize both literal and figurative entrapment into child labor, disparity, and marginalization. The change from the voice of innocence to the voice of experience reflects the growth in class consciousness and institutionalized criticism of power. The discursive practice stage unpacks how Blake condemns the role church and state play in the role of maintaining social stratification and exploitation of labor, stripping to light the religious discourse that makes the oppressed meek. Social practice analysis highlights how Blake's poetry acts as resistance to the broader social systems that function as models of exploitation and fall in line with institutional practices of exclusion. Thus, Blake's use of language is not simply a reflection of social injustice but rather a critique and call for reform. This shows that the issues that Blake portrays in his writing are indeed the issues that society is concerned about today regarding debates over labor rights and institutional power. It can therefore be argued that language has the capability of questioning social inequality and marginalization.

Authors: Wardani Desak Made Kesuma
Published: February 2025

Perlindungan hak asasi manusia dalam konflik bersenjata berdasarkan hukum internasional memerlukan perhatian khusus dan upaya kolaboratif dari berbagai pihak. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perlindungan HAM dalam konflik bersenjata melalui pendekatan normatif dengan menelaah berbagai instrumen hukum internasional, seperti Konvensi Jenewa dan Protokol Tambahannya, serta peran organisasi internasional dalam implementasi aturan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan dan studi literatur terhadap berbagai instrumen hukum internasional terkait. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa meskipun terdapat kerangka hukum yang mengatur perlindungan HAM dalam konflik bersenjata, tantangan dalam implementasi dan penegakan hukum masih menjadi hambatan utama. Pelanggaran HAM sering terjadi akibat lemahnya sanksi terhadap pelanggar dan kurangnya mekanisme penegakan yang efektif.

This study revealed many of the difficulties that Arabic learners face during their academic journey at the Institute of Arabic Language to Speakers of Other Languages at King Abdulaziz University. It is known that the educational process is based on three pillars: the student, the curriculum, and the teacher. However, we find many studies that discussed the difficulties of teaching the Arabic language as a second language from the point of view of the student rather than the teacher, and this distinguishes the current study from them, as it explores the difficulties faced by its Learners from the teachers’ point of view. Although the student is the focus of the educational process, he - in most cases - lacks the experience that his teacher possesses. Considering that, the researcher relied on the descriptive approach and designed a questionnaire that included, in its final form, fourteen standards based on the four basic skills (speaking, reading, writing, listening). The results revealed that speaking was the most difficult skill among them, followed by reading, then listening, and finally writing. The study recommended several recommendations, including focusing on integrating students into the university community through various activities to overcome some of the educational difficulties they face.

This study specifically determined the perception of STE teachers and learners on the supplementary learning videos along content, engagement, convenience, and technical barriers. This study also examined the impacts of SLVs among STE teachers and learners of SDO Masbate Province. The research methodology for this study involved purposive sampling comprised of five(5) students and five(5) teachers from Science, Technology and Engineering (STE) implementing schools who had experienced using the supplementary learning videos provided by the Masbate Province Division. The data collection process began with the development of research instruments, including interview tool. The interview questions focused on four preconceived themes: content, convenience, engagement, and technical barriers, as well as the assessment of the impacts of the supplementary learning videos on student learning. The researchers used a semi-structured interview approach to allow for in-depth data collection, including follow-up questions. The interview was administered through face-to-face interviews. Data reliability and privacy were ensured through consent from the respondents, and strict adherence to ethical guidelines. The findings include four emerging themes highlighting the perceptions of the STE students and teachers on the use of SLVs namely:  responsive instructional materials, aesthetic appeal, user-friendliness, and  accessibility. Two emerging themes were determined on the impacts of SLVs, namely:  complementary to existing instruction; and, instructional aid. The results were significant to teachers, learners, school administrators and future researchers to give awareness and best practices to have immersive learning experience utilizing the supplementary learning videos.
Orientación educativa en la sociedad posmoderna: estrategias para navegar en la complejidad y la incertidumbre
Authors: Tahull Fort Joan
Published: February 2025

In the context of contemporary societies, educational guidance emerges as a strategic element to support young people in their transition to adult life. The current landscape is characterized by uncertainty and rapid changes that challenge traditional models of personal, academic, and professional development. The socioeconomic reality reveals inequalities that limit youth opportunities. Many families lack the necessary resources to adequately guide their children, generating exclusion cycles that perpetuate structural inequalities. The study analyzes educational guidance as a fundamental component across all educational levels, seeking to prepare young people to understand and adapt to liquid and complex social environments. It highlights the importance of developing competencies such as adaptability, resilience, and conscious decision-making. Educational guidance is conceived as a fundamental instrument for individual empowerment, capable of articulating more adaptable, personalized, and meaningful educational trajectories in the context of contemporary society.
The Under-Representation of the Global South on Editorial Boards in Criminology
Authors: Breetzke Gregory
Published: February 2025

Less than 5% of editorial board members across all 69 journals listed under the Criminology and Penology category of Clarivate’s Web of Science database have affiliations with institutions in the Global South. Moreover, editorial board members from the Global South are significantly more likely to sit on lower “quality” journals than their Global North counterparts. The extreme skewness in regional representation of editorial board membership is symptomatic of a broader marginalization of the Global South in academia in general, and criminology specifically. The study’s findings should be of importance (and concern) to all criminologists who believe that a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive representation of scholars across all phases of the academic publishing process is key to better understanding the context of crime: a global problem. A number of recommendations are outlined that can be used to increase the regional representativeness of editorial boards.
Qualitative Analysis of Factors Affecting Taxpayer Compliance in Paying Income Tax Article 21 on PTPN IV Regional 1 Kebun Rantau Prapat Employees
Authors: Hamdani Hamdani , Batubara Chuzaimah
Published: February 2025

This study aims to identify factors that influence employee compliance of PTPN IV Regional 1 Kebun Rantau Prapat in paying Income Tax (PPh) Article 21. The method used is descriptive qualitative research through observation and document study. The results of the study indicate that tax non-compliance is mainly caused by the lack of public understanding of their status as taxpayers and the obligation to pay taxes. Other factors that influence tax compliance include tax awareness and knowledge, socialization, sanctions, incentives, and tax audits. Increasing tax awareness can increase compliance, while lack of socialization and understanding of tax regulations has a negative impact. In addition, the implementation of appropriate tax incentives and strict supervision through sanctions and tax audits can also increase taxpayer compliance. Therefore, more intensive socialization and education efforts are needed as well as more effective tax policies to improve employee tax compliance. This study is expected to be a reference for policy makers in designing better strategies to increase state tax revenues.

Revisão bibliográfica seguida de metanálise do tipo forestplot e abordagem multivariada com análise de componentes principais com agrupamentos. Os fertilizantes do tipo superfosfatos apresentam elevados teores de cobre (> 360 mg Kg-1). A adubação com lodo de esgoto solarizado eleva a quantidade de chumbo em Cambissolos. Foram encontradas altas concentrações de zinco e cobre nas folhas quando adubados com lodo de esgoto solarizado, enquanto lodo de esgoto vermicompostado elevou a concentração de cromo nas folhas. Corretivos foram associados ao fornecimento de micronutrientes, enquanto fertilizantes foram associados ao fornecimento de metais pesados, como zinco, cobre e níquel. Existem evidências estatísticas da presença de metais pesados, acrescidos de cromo e chumbo, nas folhas.

The Role of Urine-1 and Urinalysis in the Diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury in Liver Transplantation
Authors: Lima Camila , Brandão Luciana Severo , Correa Maria de Fatima , Macedo Etienne
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication in the intensive care unit. Urine-1 (U-1) is a frequently overlooked tool for assessing AKI; moreover, there is no evidence-based consensus on its use. This study aimed to investigate the role of U-1 and urinary microscopy (UM) in diagnosing severe AKI and the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT) in patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT). Method: Our hypothesis was to determine whether the urinary parameters available in U-1 and UM are associated with the diagnosis of severe AKI and the need for RRT. We evaluated U-1 and UM 6 hours after LTx. The criterion for diagnosing AKI was based on Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) guidelines, relying solely on serum creatinine levels within one week. Results: Eighty-seven patients developed AKI in the first week after LT. The diagnosis of severe AKI (KDIGO 2 and 3) was found in 59 patients. Six hours after LT, the variables in U-1 were predictors of severe AKI, with the area under the curve (AUC) of 0.65 for proteins, 0.68 for leukocytes, and 0.63 for erythrocytes. In determining RRT, these variables performed better with AUC: 0.72 for proteins, 0.69 for leukocytes, and 0.68 for erythrocytes. The non-AKI and AKI groups showed a similar distribution in UM. Conclusion: Simple and commonly used parameters in clinical practice, such as proteinuria, erythrocyturia, and leukocyturia, can be valuable tools for diagnosing severe AKI and the need for RRT.
Avanços no Transplante de Fígado no Brasil: Desafios e Oportunidades sob a Portaria GM/MS Nº 1.262
Authors: Silveira Fabio
Published: February 2025

O artigo analisa a influência da Portaria GM/MS Nº 1.262, publicada em setembro de 2023, que vincula incentivos financeiros a resultados mensuráveis nos programas de transplante de fígado no Brasil. Considerando as taxas de sobrevida de 30 dias e 1 ano, bem como o número de transplantes realizados, essa iniciativa representa um progresso em direção a maior responsabilidade e melhor tratamento aos pacientes. No entanto, o autor chama atenção para falhas importantes no sistema atual de classificação que podem comprometer os valores de justiça, universalidade e descentralização do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). O modelo de pagamento atual é antiquado, não cobre os custos reais dos transplantes e acaba utilizando os incentivos financeiros para suprir déficits orçamentários, em vez de recompensar a excelência nos resultados. Além disso, o foco no número absoluto de transplantes prejudica os centros em áreas menores e menos habitadas, tornando mais difícil a competição com grandes centros em estados mais populosos. Isso agrava as desigualdades regionais e incentiva a centralização das operações de transplante, contrariando o princípio descentralizador do SUS. O autor sugere mudanças no sistema, como a atualização do pagamento base para refletir os custos reais, permitindo que todos os centros operem com estabilidade financeira. Também são recomendados incentivos financeiros que recompensem a excelência nos resultados e um modelo mais justo e orientado por resultados, com o sistema de pontuação atribuindo maior peso às taxas de sobrevida de 1 ano. Para promover equidade e consistência no acesso ao transplante, são aconselhadas medidas proporcionais ao tamanho da população e financiamento redistributivo para hospitais com menor classificação. Embora a Portaria GM/MS Nº 1.262 seja reconhecida como um marco inicial, mudanças são necessárias para alinhar eficiência e qualidade com os valores fundamentais do SUS, garantindo que todos os pacientes recebam um tratamento de excelência, independentemente de onde sejam atendidos.
Epidemiological Profile of Donation Candidates at a Pediatric Heart Transplant Reference Center
Authors: Sturm Ana Laura Camargo , Silva Bruno Hideo Saiki
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Heart transplantation is the standard treatment for end-stage heart disease. This therapy is limited by factors related to both the donor and the recipient, in addition to peculiarities inherent to its implementation in the pediatric population. Due to the disparity between organ supply and demand, heart transplant waiting list mortality is high in this age group, ranging from 17 to 30% worldwide. Even so, around 40% of listed hearts are not used worldwide. High refusal rates are due to the lack of uniformity in assessment, as well as in the acceptance and refusal of organs in pediatric heart transplantation. It is known that donor and recipient factors interact with each other in a complex way, requiring a joint analysis to determine whether the organ available at that time is suitable for the patient in question. Objectives: To identify the epidemiological profile of candidates for heart donation offered to a pediatric heart transplant center in southern Brazil. Methods: This is an observational, descriptive, and retrospective study. The sample consisted of medical records from potential donors offered from January 2021 to December 2023. Results: There were 205 organs offered during this period, eight of which were excluded from the analysis due to a lack of data. The average age of the patients was 19.5 years and 67.5% of them were male. Chest radiography or tomography was not available in 38.6% of cases. A total of 56.3% of cases had an electrocardiogram available, but 45% of them were abnormal, and 29.4% of patients had no echocardiogram. Of the echocardiograms, 22.3% showed dysfunction. A total of 88.8% of patients were receiving vasoactive drugs and 61.9% had an active infection. Of the available organs, 92.9% were refused. Conclusion: The refusal rate was higher than the global estimate, which may result from the lack of relevant donor-related information at the time of the offer. Moreover, there is a prevalence of data suggesting some degree of cardiac dysfunction in potential donors.
Maternal Dreams and Influence in Aeschylus's Persians and Libation Bearers
Authors: Foxley Florencia
Published: February 2025

The complex relationship between Atossa and Xerxes in Persians benefits from study alongside other Aeschylean plays. Libation Bearers demonstrates that close identification between mother and son must be rejected in order for the son to mature. In this context, Atossa's connection to Xerxes threatens his adult identity. Together, the plays suggest that concern about the mother-son relationship is a marker of Greek cultural anxiety about motherhood even within the “Persian” context.
The Poetics of Lyde's Bacchic Hairstyle in Horace's Odes 2.11
Authors: Sperindio Lucrezia
Published: February 2025

This article examines the figure of Lyde in Horace's Odes 2.11. She is one of the less-studied courtesans often found in Horatian sympotic and erotic poems. In the last thirty years, scholarship has emphasised how Horace's own male gaze and desire shape these female figures and turn them into objects of his own poetic agency. As such, they can be considered on par with Horace's poetic materia. In this article, I argue that the variant readings of the last stanza of Odes 2.11 add to Horace's characterisation of Lyde as geographically, poetically, and aesthetically elusive. I suggest, in light of this elusiveness, that Lyde can be interpreted as participating in Horace's “Bacchic Poetics,” something which complicates her gendered interpretation as “fetishized” object for Horace and his implied Roman male audience. Lyde's elusiveness and inaccessibility, while being triggers for male desire, are also features that draw her close to a Bacchant and, at the same time, to Horace's own characterisation as a Bacchant in Odes 3.25. In this way, Lyde can be seen to embody the complex Bacchic tensions that, in Horace's poetry, liberate poetic energy: Horace represents Lyde as bacchic and thus ambivalent, both an object and an agent of his poetry.
Reconsidering the Relationship between Motherhood, Non-motherhood, and Work among Urban Roman Freedwomen
Authors: Finnigan Sheena
Published: February 2025

Primarily relying on funerary monuments from the city of Rome (CIL 6) in the high classical period, this article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of how working freedwomen negotiated the potential for motherhood. The article contends that freedwomen sometimes elevated other aspects of their lives above the maternal. More precisely, it argues that occupation, citizen status, and personal relationships had a notable impact on freedwomen's decisions about motherhood, including whether to become mothers at all. Epitaphs established by and for freedwomen reveal that they took different approaches to the potential for motherhood, making decisions about how to present themselves in death, whether as mothers, professionals, or both. The article acknowledges that biological factors and external influence limited decision-making and affected whether women became mothers, but nevertheless contends that occupation and citizen status were significant factors and that many freedwomen exercised some control over their reproductive lives. Work and motherhood in classical Rome have long been studied as two separate fields of inquiry rather than in tandem. Thus, the two aspects of a woman's life appear to be disconnected in Roman history. This divide has the effect of reinforcing the idea that women aimed primarily to become wives and mothers, working only when necessary. By drawing the two together, the results of this article indicate that the ideology of elite Roman men, which emphasized marriage and motherhood, was not always reflected in the priorities of working freedwomen, who sometimes elevated occupation and personal relationships above motherhood.

Fattori stressogeni e sindrome del burn-out negli infermieri di sala operatoria: una revisione della letteratura
Authors: Durante Fortunato
Published: February 2025

La letteratura nazionale ed internazionale riporta numerosi esempi di  come gli infermieri siano una categoria particolarmente soggetta a burnout; nello specifico, gli infermieri prestanti servizio nel Comparto Operatorio sembrerebbero essere soggetti particolarmente a rischio, al punto che uno studio recente ha riportato come il 70,3% di questa popolazione presentasse livelli di altissimo stress lavorativo con conseguente innalzamento del rischio di burnout. Pertanto, è stata effettuata una revisione narrativa della letteratura con l’obiettivo di identificare i fattori stressogeni che agiscano sul personale infemrieristico nel comparto operatorio. Sono stati inclusi n.9 studi provenienti da contesti internazionali. Negli studi rinvenuti, i fattori stressogeni riscontrati sono stati fattori legati alla sicurezza lavorativa ed alla formazione personale, ai conflitti col personale medico ed a riportati atteggiamenti aggressivi del chirurgo. Si ravvisa la necessità di studi italiani sul tema.
