Published: January 2025

Este artículo se enmarca en el proyecto de investigación “Estrategias Pedagógicas para el Manejo Adecuado de los Residuos Inorgánicos en la Institución Educativa Jaime Roock”, como parte de la Maestría Ambiental para el Desarrollo Sostenible. El objetivo principal es la revisión documental de diferentes referentes de investigaciones científicas que identifican los multiplex problemas ambientales generados por los residuos sólidos inorgánicos, analizando con mayor énfasis las que anteceden en la línea de tiempo 2019 a 2024, los cuales aportan a la investigación estrategias pedagógicas para fomentar conciencia ambiental sobre el manejo adecuado de residuos inorgánicos por parte de la comunidad escolar, mitigación de la contaminación ambiental y prevención de enfermedades en la comunidad por el inadecuado manejo de residuos sólidos inorgánicos. Se utiliza el enfoque socio crítico de investigación acción con la participación de estudiantes de básica primaria en la cocreacion de estrategias pedagógicas ambientales con una propuesta educativa para transformar el entorno a través de una educación inclusiva donde no hay discriminación de etnias o género, garantizando un ambiente saludable para gozar de una vida digna, por medio de la transformación, reducción y reutilización de los residuos sólidos inorgánicos y mitigar los diferentes problemas ambientales que estos generan a la sociedad, y, de esa manera conservar, transformar, proteger y cuidar nuestro planeta. Como conclusión se considera que los problemas ecológicos del planeta, provocados, entre otros, por el propio ser humano, solo podrán afrontarse generando un cambio en la conciencia, en el pensar, el sentir y el comportarse de las personas, lo que se logra con la implementación de la propuesta educativa ambiental en la Institución Educativa Jaime Roock, por medio de la transformación y reutilización de los residuos sólidos inorgánicos que iban a ser desechados, ayudando a mejorar la calidad de vida de la población y mitigar la contaminación ambiental.
Evaluation of COVID-19 Findings on Thoracic CT: Is There any Correlation with Age and Comorbidity?
Authors: Köremezli Keskin Nevin , Başdemirci Merve , Başdemirci Onur , Hamidi Aziz Ahmad
Published: January 2025

Aim: To share insights gained from low-dose thoracic computed tomography (CT) findings of patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Additionally, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between the observed CT findings, CT severity index, patient age, and the presence of comorbid conditions.
Material and Method: One hundred patients having a COVID-19 diagnosis were included in the study's sample. We meticulously reviewed the thoracic CT image characteristics, the lung severity index, and various clinical data related to the patients. The relationships between these factors were then analyzed to draw meaningful conclusions.
Results: The study included 100 patients, consisting of 67 men and 33 women. Among these patients, 30 had at least one underlying comorbid condition, with hypertension being the most prevalent. CT scans were positive in 65 patients. Within this group, 60 patients (93.3%) exhibited ground-glass opacities (GGO), 27 patients (41.5%) showed signs of consolidation, 22 patients (33.8%) had both GGO and consolidation, and 8 patients (12.3%) displayed the crazy paving pattern. The total lung severity score (TLSS) ranged from 0 to 19, with mean score of 3.11±3.71. Each lung lobe was systematically evaluated for the extent of involvement. We found a statistically significant relationship indicating that increasing age correlated with higher grades of lung involvement. Furthermore, significant association was noted between presence of comorbidities and the lung involvement grades. Our analysis revealed a moderate positive correlation between CT lung involvement grade and patient age, alongside a weaker positive correlation between the lung involvement grade and comorbid conditions.
Conclusion: CT imaging has proven to be important tool in managing patients suspected of or confirmed to have COVID-19. Notably, the CT lung severity grade was significantly elevated in patients over 65 years and those with comorbidities. These findings underscore the critical role that CT plays in evaluating and managing the severity of COVID-19 pneumonia.
A Rare Cause of Inguinal Herniation: Bladder Herniation
Authors: Özaydoğdu Çimen Ayla
Published: January 2025

Herniation of the bladder into the inguinal canal is a rare condition. It is mostly asymptomatic but symptoms such as dysuria, sudden and severe urge to urinate, nocturia and haematuria may also be observed. Early diagnosis of inguinal bladder hernia is important to minimize potential complications and those that may arise during treatment. In male patients over the age of fifty with unilateral inguinal swelling, possible bladder herniation should be considered, and when necessary, computed tomography and other radiological imaging methods should be used in addition to ultrasonography. We aimed to present our case of bladder herniation accompanying inguinal hernia, supported by the literature.
Investigation of the Effects of Lycopene Against Cisplatin-Induced Renal Damage in Rats: A Histopathological Study
Authors: Deniz Ömür Gülsüm
Published: January 2025

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the protective effect of lycopene (LP) on kidney damage induced by cisplatin (CPT), which is used as a potent agent in chemotherapy, in rats.
Material and Method: A total of 35 female Wistar albino rats between 220-250 grams which were 2-4 months old were included in the study. The rats were divided into 5 equal groups as control (Cont) group, CPT group, CPT+LP group, LP group and Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) (solvent) group. Cont group did not receive any treatment during the 7-day long experiment. Rats in the CPT group were administered a single dose of 7 mg/kg CPT intraperitoneally on the first day of the experiment. CPT+LP group was administered 5 mg/kg of LP dissolved in DMSO intraperitoneally every day for 7 days after CPT was administered at the mentioned dose and duration. LP and DMSO groups were intraperitoneally administered 5 mg/kg of LP dissolved in DMSO and 1 ml/kg 0.1% DMSO, respectively during the experiment. At the end of the experiment, kidney tissues taken from the rats were evaluated histopathologically.
Results: When the histopathological analyses were evaluated, it was found that glomerular shrinkage, tubular vacuolisation, desquamous epithelium and interstitial hemorrhage were statistically more intense in the CPT group when compared with the Cont, DMSO and LP groups. In the CPT+LP group, cellular organization in the renal tissue was found to be close to normal when compared with the CPT group and it was found that apart from other parameters, especially glomerular atrophy was minimised by LP (p

Published: January 2025

Aim: Dentists play an important role in identifying signs of child abuse and neglect and reporting them to the appropriate authorities. This study aims to evaluate the knowledge of a group of dental students in the Central Black Sea region about child abuse and neglect.
Material and Method: This cross-sectional study includes dental students from the Faculty of Dentistry at Tokat Gaziosmanpaşa University, enrolled during the 2023-2024 academic year. An online survey consisting of 28 questions was administered to dental students who agreed to participate, covering demographic information and assessing their knowledge level regarding child abuse and neglect. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and two-way ANOVA.
Results: A total of 266 (70.4%) students aged between 18 and 25 participated in this study. Among the dental students reported that 10.2% suspected child abuse and neglect, while 9.8% stated that they would prefer to report when they suspect such cases. While 58.6% of dental students believed that child abuse and neglect should be reported legally, 60.9% stated that they may not report suspected cases due to the possibility of making a misdiagnosis. While the impact of gender on dental students' knowledge levels regarding child abuse and neglect was not observed, the effect of academic year was significant (p

frontera terrestre peruano chilena, su intangibilidad jurídica y la cuestión del triángulo terrestre
Authors: Colunge Villacorta Jorge
Published: January 2025

La temática general de las fronteras terrestres entre los países está directamente vinculada, en su estudio, análisis y proyecciones, a las llamadas ciencias sociales, las cuales se ocupan, como disciplinas científicas que son, de las actividades y sobre todo del comportamiento de la sociedad. Y si bien el espectro de las ciencias sociales es amplísimo, en el caso de las fronteras terrestres, tanto la Historia como el Derecho y la Política cobran especial relevancia.

El Tratado de 1929 fue el final de continuos abusos chilenos sobre los territorios ocupados después de la Guerra del Pacífico; este instrumento de carácter inviolable y perpetuo fue de Amistad, Paz y Límites; sin embargo, hoy vemos estupefactos como Chile pretende desconocer el punto de inicio de la línea de la frontera terrestre en el Océano Pacífico denominado en el propio Tratado como “Concordia”.
triángulo terrestre jurídica y políticamente: una visión desde el Tratado de 1929 y el fallo de la Corte Internacional de Justicia
Authors: Rodríguez Mackay Miguel Ángel
Published: January 2025

Si acaso no sinceramos la situación de la relación bilateral con Chile todo nos parecerá demagogia y populismo. La realidad nos advierte que debemos ser objetivos. La historia siempre lo es y en ese sentido los hechos que suceden alrededor de la relación vecinal nos muestra un conjunto de particularidades que no podemos desconocer. Hacerlo es una negación imperdonable con el proceso histórico que cada circunstancia va acopiando en la vinculación bilateral. Por ejemplo, creímos que luego del fallo de la Corte Internacional de Justicia, el órgano judicial de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, en el caso de la controversia de delimitación marítima que el Perú activó cuando decidió demandar a Chile el 16 de enero del 2008, habíamos cerrado completamente el capítulo de los problemas de fronteras que se habían superpuesto en 137 años monopolizando el quehacer de nuestra diplomacia y del derecho internacional peruano. Eso no ha sido así.
dicotomía entre el principio de soberanía nacional y el principio de jurisdicción universal
Authors: Pérez Sánchez-Cerro José Luis
Published: January 2025

El Derecho Internacional Público tiene una base sociológica. Esta rama del derecho va a regir a la sociedad internacional. Si cualquier rama jurídica es histórica y social, el derecho internacional es el más histórico de los derechos ya que su dependencia de las circunstancias sociales es extrema. Debemos decir entonces que el Derecho Internacional está en proceso constante de gestación como consecuencia de los cambios en la sociedad internacional. Por ello la definición del Derecho Internacional Público no puede hacerse sobre la base de características abstractas, sino partiendo de una comunidad concreta y esta no es otra que la comunidad de los Estados, que en el curso de la historia ha ido adquiriendo unidad sociológica y normativa.
Al referirnos a la Jurisdicción Universal reconocemos en dicho concepto la competencia internacional de todos los Estados para someter a su decisión asuntos en materia criminal pertenecientes al interés general de la comunidad internacional. Esta idea de jurisdicción global reclama el trato de temas concernientes a la soberanía de los Estados y su jurisdicción penal como atributo de esta de forma tal que analizando la soberanía y la jurisdicción penal estatal en general, pertenecientes a todos los Estados del orbe, podamos entender que un Estado, en nombre de todos, pueda someter a su jurisdicción casos que normalmente son privativos de cada Estado, según sea el grado de vinculación o punto de contacto con relación al delito en cuestión.
Trump a trompicones: el proceso de recomposición del poder mundial
Authors: Alzamora Traverso Carlos
Published: January 2025

La irrupción de Corea del Norte como potencia nuclear en el Olimpo atómico no solo ha alterado la relación del poder en la crítica península coreana, sino que puede haber provocado el inicio de un proceso de recomposición del poder a nivel mundial. Las crecientes presiones de Estados Unidos sobre China para que controle a Norcorea, las nuevas sanciones económicas impuestas a Rusia y la retórica belicista del presidente Trump han ido empujando a China y Rusia hacia una alianza de facto política, militar y económica, que forzosamente rivaliza con el aún colosal poder norteamericano, sin descartar la posibilidad, aún lejana, de que un entendimiento lúcido y visionario entre las tres superpotencias pudiera llevar a un dispositivo tripartito de control efectivo de la seguridad mundial, sin hegemonías, en aras de la paz.

Del espíritu y la letra de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas, firmada el 26 de junio de 1945, se desprende que el Consejo de Seguridad es el órgano más importante de la Organización. Desde el inicio, el primer considerando subraya la razón de ser de la Organización: “Nosotros los pueblos de las Naciones Unidas, resueltos a preservar a las generaciones venideras del flagelo de la guerra que dos veces durante nuestra vida ha infligido a la Humanidad sufrimientos indecibles”. El Art.1, punto 1, de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas señala como el primer propósito de la Organización “mantener la paz y la seguridad internacionales, y con tal fin tomar las medidas colectivas eficaces para prevenir y eliminar amenazas a la paz, y para suprimir actos de agresión u otros quebrantamientos de la paz;...”.
Critical Approach to the Contemporary Regime of the Human Rights: About some conceptual and case-based contradictions.
Authors: Yépez Castro José
Published: January 2025

The article provides a general critic over some fundamental contradictions found in the human’s rights regime. For that purposes, in a first part it criticizes some conceptual aspects of the human right practice. In a second part, it presents the well-known European case of the “crucifix”, to demonstrate how religion could influence the basis of a international court decision in a human right issue. In the same fashion, in the next part, the case of the treatment of property in the European Human Right System is analyzed. Equally important is the critique developed in the fourth part of the article to the self-determination right application nowadays. The essential conclusion of the article is that, despite the fact of the foundational morality of the human right regime, it is still significantly influenced by politics.
Photospheric Swirls in a Quiet-Sun Region

Published: January 2025

Swirl-shaped flow structures have been observed throughout the solar atmosphere, in both emission and absorption, at different altitudes and locations, and are believed to be associated with magnetic structures. However, the distribution patterns of such swirls, especially their spatial positions, remain unclear. Using the Automated Swirl Detection Algorithm, we identified swirls from the high-resolution photospheric observations, centered on Fe i 630.25 nm, of a quiet region near the Sun's central meridian by the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. Via a detailed study of the locations of the detected small-scale swirls with an average radius of  ~300 km, we found that most of them are located in lanes between mesogranules (which have an average diameter of  ~5.4 Mm) instead of the commonly believed intergranular lanes. The squared rotation, expansion/contraction and vector speeds, and proxy kinetic energy are all found to follow Gaussian distributions. Their rotation speed, expansion/contraction speed, and circulation are positively correlated with their radius. All these results suggest that photospheric swirls at different scales and locations across the observational 56

A comparison with our previous work suggests that the number of photospheric swirls is positively correlated with the number of local magnetic concentrations, stressing again the close relation between swirls and local magnetic concentrations: the number of swirls should positively correlate with the number and strength of local magnetic concentrations.

Published: January 2025

Objective

We aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Scleroderma Skin Questionnaire (SSQ), a novel patient-reported outcome (PRO) to assess systemic sclerosis (SSc)–related skin symptoms.

Methods

Participants were recruited from the SSc Collaborative National Quality and Efficacy Registry (CONQUER). Internal consistency was determined using Cronbach α and McDonald ω total (ωt). The correlation of the SSQ was assessed with the modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS), physician global assessment (PGA), Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire, 29-item Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29), and patient global assessment to assess criterion, convergent, and divergent validity. Correlations were also assessed between patients' self-reported recall of skin changes over the past 6 months ("SSQ 6-Month") and 6-month change in mRSS.

Results

The SSQ was administered to 799 adults (mean age 52.7; 83% female) enrolled in CONQUER. Cronbach α was 0.90 and ωt was 0.92, indicating high internal consistency. The SSQ was moderately correlated with mRSS (r0.56), with stronger correlations in diffuse (r0.54) vs limited cutaneous subtypes (r0.24; allP< 0.05). The SSQ was also moderately-to-strongly correlated with PROMIS-29 physical function (r–0.50) and pain interference subscales (r0.61), strongly with Health Assessment Questionnaire score (r0.63) and severity subscale (r0.62), and moderately with PGA SSc activity score (r0.48; allP< 0.05). SSQ 6-Month correlated weakly with the 6-month change in mRSS (r0.26;P< 0.05).

Conclusion

SSQ demonstrated high reliability and moderate correlation with mRSS and legacy PROs. This study provides initial support for SSQ, but not SSQ 6-Month, to assess skin symptoms in patients with SSc.
Baricitinib Dose Reduction in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis Achieving Sustained Disease Control: Final Results From the RA-BEYOND Study
Authors: Edwards Christopher J. , Krönke Gerhard , Avouac Jérôme , Li Zhanguo , Conti Fabrizio , Balsa Alejandro , Mo Daojun , Haladyj Ewa , Fischer Peter , Tanaka Masaru , Takita Yasushi , Hagimori Kohei , Takeuchi Tsutomu
Published: January 2025

Objective

This study examined the effect of dose step-down in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who achieved sustained disease control with baricitinib 4 mg once daily for up to 96 weeks.

Methods

Patients who completed a baricitinib phase III study could enter a long-term extension (LTE). In the LTE, patients who received baricitinib 4 mg for ≥ 15 months and maintained Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) low disease activity (LDA) or remission (REM) were blindly randomized to continue with 4 mg or taper to 2 mg. If needed, 2-mg–treated patients could be rescued to 4 mg, and 4-mg–treated patients could be rescued by adding or increasing conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Efficacy and safety were assessed through 96 weeks. Nonresponder imputation (NRI), considering rescued or discontinued patients as nonresponders, was used for CDAI response analyses.

Results

At 96 weeks, most patients maintained LDA in both 2-mg and 4-mg arms, with a lower maintenance rate in the 2-mg than the 4-mg group (NRI 59.9% and 70.2%, respectively). Patients maintained REM in the 2-mg and 4-mg arms at 30.8% and 36.6%, respectively. Rescue rates were 14.7% for baricitinib 4 mg and 22.5% for 2 mg. Of 112 patients who lost LDA in the 2-mg arm and were rescued to 4 mg, 76.2% and 75.6% achieved LDA again at 12 and 24 weeks postrescue, respectively.

Conclusion

In a randomized, blinded, phase III LTE study, maintenance of disease control following induction of sustained LDA/REM with baricitinib 4 mg was greater with continued 4 mg than after tapering to 2 mg. Nonetheless, 76% of patients tapered to 2 mg could maintain LDA/REM or recapture with return to 4 mg, if needed.
Performance of Disease Activity Indices Used in Axial Spondyloarthritis in Real-World Clinical Settings
Authors: Alonso Sara , Braña Ignacio , Loredo Marta , Pardo Estefanía , Burger Stefanie , Queiro Rubén
Published: January 2025

Objective

Monitoring axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) disease activity using validated indices (eg, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index [BASDAI], Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score [ASDAS]) is widely recommended but rarely followed in practice. The reasons, although varied, may be found in the scarcity of studies comparing the performance of these indices in daily practice. Here, we compare the performance of disease activity indices in clinical practice.

Methods

This was an observational cross-sectional study involving 330 patients. The BASDAI, ASDAS, Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI), and Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society Health Index (ASAS HI) indices were included. Their correlations, degree of concordance, and discriminating capacity for different levels of disease activity and impact were compared using the appropriate statistics.

Results

A total of 127 women (38.5%) and 203 men (61.5%) were included, with a mean age of 47.6 (SD 12.9) years and median disease duration of 8 (IQR 4-16) years. At inclusion, 209 patients (63.3%) were receiving biologic therapies, mostly tumor necrosis factor inhibitors. All measurement indices were highly correlated (Pearsonr≥ 0.73). Concordance between instruments was substantial, both with regard to the different activity thresholds and the different disease impact categories (κ ≥ 0.61). BASDAI cutoffs of 3.95 (area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve [AUC] 0.90) and 5.85 (AUC 0.90) accurately identified the ASDAS high and very high activity categories, respectively. An ASDAS ≥ 2.1 (AUC 0.87) and a BASDAI ≥ 3 (AUC 0.92) accurately discriminated the ASAS HI high impact category. Regardless of systemic therapy use, there was substantial agreement between BASDAI remission (≤ 2) and ASDAS inactive disease (< 1.3).

Conclusion

The metrological performance of standard disease activity indices in axSpA were similar. The BASDAI values that identify the ASDAS categories are novel. We suggest using these indices interchangeably in routine clinical practice.
Réguler la répartition des médecins libéraux sur le territoire. Quelles réponses aux enjeux économiques et de santé publique ?
Authors: Barnay Thomas
Published: January 2025

La baisse de la densité médicale de médecins actifs de moins de 70 ans attendue au cours des trois prochaines années nourrit des inquiétudes légitimes parmi les acteurs du système de santé, au premier rang desquels les patients. La liberté d’installation des médecins sur le territoire français produit des inégalités d’accès aux soins mais génère également des défaillances systémiques du système de soins conduisant à des dépenses de santé en excès dans les zones sur-denses en médecins et à une qualité des soins altérée dans les zones sous-denses. Cette situation caractérise typiquement ce que les économistes nomment une « défaillance de marché », c’est-à-dire une incapacité des acteurs du marché des soins à atteindre seuls un équilibre optimal économiquement (efficient), socialement désirable mais aussi conforme aux promesses de l’État-providence. Sur la base de la littérature économique, cet article a pour objet, d’une part, de justifier une intervention accrue et rapide des pouvoirs publics en matière de lutte contre les déserts médicaux, d’autre part d’interroger l’efficacité des mécanismes d’incitation monétaires ou non monétaires mobilisés ou à actionner.
Continuous functions on primal topological spaces induced by group actions
Authors: Mejías Luis Fernando , Vielma Jorge , Aponte Elvis , De Lima Lourival Rodrigues
Published: January 2025

If $ G $ is a group acting on a set $ X $, then for any $ a\in G $, the restriction $ \phi_a:X\to X $ of the action to $ a $ induces a topology $ \tau_a $ for $ X $, called the primal topology induced by $ \phi_a $. First, we obtain a characterization of the normal subgroups in terms of the primal topologies. Later, we prove that some commutative relations among elements on the group $ G $ determine the continuity of maps among different primal spaces $ (X, \tau_{ \phi_x}) $. In particular, we prove the continuity of some maps when $ a, b, q\in G $ satisfy a quantum type relation, $ ba = qab $, as is in the quaternion and Heisenberg groups.
Berço manuelino from the wreck of Santiago
Authors: Kardasz Pawel
Published: January 2025

The breech-loading rail guns appeared in Europe in the 15th century, and in the next century they were widely used as light naval artillery. They were characterized by a high rate of fire, thanks to the use of replaceable chambers a mug-shaped device called a chamber or breech block, previously charged with gun powder and a projectile. In Portugal they were called ‘berço’, called ‘verso’ in Spain. These guns were commonly found on board ships sailing East on the Carreira da India during the reign of King D. Manuel I and earned the nickname ‘manuelino’ after this ruler. A berço manuelino marked Durr 876 is housed in the KwaZulu Natal collection in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. This cannon was salvaged from the Santiago shipwreck that sank in the Bassas da India atoll in the Mozambique Channel in 1585. It is an excellent example of the berço manuelino from the period of their widespread use in the Portuguese fleet. Its condition is satisfactory, considering that the cannon lay for 400 years on a coral reef flooded by sea waves. Berço manuelino Durr 876 witnessed one of the most famous and tragic maritime disasters of the 16th century, described in numerous accounts.
Faire lire la bonne presse : la place des réseaux des comités de propagande dans l’histoire de Bayard (années 1890-années 1970)
Authors: Chatelan Olivier
Published: January 2025

Les comités de lectrices et de lecteurs, diversement nommés selon les époques – comités, comités de propagande, groupes des Chevaliers de la foi et des Pages du Christ, équipes “Amis Croix” – sont des relais de diffusion et de communication qui ont accompagné durablement le succès de la Bonne Presse / Bayard. Pendant un siècle, ils ont constitué un maillage de groupes militants au service de la promotion des abonnements et, dans une moindre mesure, ont fonctionné comme des instances consultatives pour la rédaction du quotidien La Croix. Cette contribution entend faire sortir de l’ombre ces comités méconnus qui participent pleinement à l’histoire de la presse de masse et à la construction de l’opinion dans le monde catholique.
Une conjoncture religieuse : 1873, la fondation du Pèlerin
Authors: Milbach Sylvain
Published: January 2025

En 1873 Le Pèlerin n'est pas, le grand journal populaire catholique qu'il devient dans les années 1880 : ce n'est qu'une modeste publication hebdomadaire de vingt-deux pages. Sa présentation est austère, conforme à sa fonction, puisqu'il s'agit d'abord d'une sorte de bulletin de liaison dont la fonction est d'encadrer le vaste élan de pèlerinages que connaît alors la France. L'analyse de ces débuts rend compte de la stratégie des assomptionnistes qui préfigure, dans une conjoncture originale, ce que devient ensuite le Pèlerin dans le dispositif de la Bonne Presse : un périodique qui prend sa place dans la presse « de masse ».
La Maison de la Bonne Presse face à la Seconde Guerre mondiale
Authors: Pitette Yves
Published: January 2025

Identifiée dès l’avant-guerre comme antinazie, la Maison de la Bonne Presse est pratiquement empêchée de travailler à l’arrivée des Allemands à Paris. Réfugiés à Limoges en « zone libre », ses principaux titres, le quotidien La Croix et le puissant hebdomadaire Le Pèlerin, rebaptisé « Le Foyer », font le pari d’une « résistance spirituelle » : conserver, à la demande de certains évêques, un « journal sûr » et préserver une parole chrétienne indépendante. Cette préoccupation conduira au choix de continuer à paraître en 1942, pour ne pas laisser la place à un journal catholique collaborateur. Pendant toute la guerre, La Bonne Presse n’existe plus, pour l’essentiel, que par la parution de La Croix à Limoges et l’édition de romans populaires ou de livres religieux, qui évite la réquisition de l’imprimerie de la rue Bayard à Paris. En 1944, le sort de l’entreprise est lié à celui de son titre phare, qui va réussir à prouver qu’il n’a pas collaboré, et bénéficier de la clémence des nouvelles autorités.
« Fallait-il désintégrer La Croix ? »
Authors: Douyère David
Published: January 2025

Sous la direction d’Émile Gabel (1908-1968), rédacteur en chef de La Croix, le crucifix qui figurait en Une du quotidien disparaît en 1956. Ceci procède d’une dynamique par laquelle le journal de La Bonne Presse essaie alors d’élargir son lectorat et de prendre place parmi les principaux journaux d’information en kiosque. Le père Gabel a entrepris en effet une réflexion sur l’information et sa place dans un média catholique. Le recentrement du journal sur l’information vise à atteindre cinq objectifs : connaître le monde ; y projeter un regard chrétien ; y voir l’advenue sensible de Dieu ; former une opinion publique catholique ; évangéliser celle-ci. S’appuyant sur les écrits du père Gabel, et notamment sur l’article « Fallait-il désintégrer La Croix ? » (1965), ce chapitre s’efforce de retracer les contours et d’éclairer les conceptions et la réflexion du journaliste assomptionniste sur l’information, en régime chrétien, au tournant des années 1950.

The Aquitaine gallery graves are located at the heart of one of the oldest centres of European megalithism, yet until recently, they were still little known and poorly dated. These dolmen gallery graves are well represented between Charente-Maritime and Lot-et-Garonne, and may possibly have emerged in this region before spreading throughout Atlantic Europe. Long considered as late architecture, like the Armorican gallery graves, some authors have suggested that they appeared as early as the Middle Neolithic. As part of a restoration program, new excavations were undertaken between 2019 and 2022 on the Roquefort megalithic gallery grave in Lugasson (Gironde), an emblematic monument in the Entre-Deux-Mers region. Discovered in 1922, then emptied of its contents, this monument currently comprises 21 asteriated limestone orthostats and is almost 14 m long. It is part of a non-dated rampart at the time of this new research. The complete clearing of the Roquefort gallery grave and the test pits excavated under the paving and in the mass of the rampart have enhanced our knowledge of this architecture. A massive episode of the stele reuse has been brought to light in the paving, in the orthostats and at the base of the cairn. Such reuse is now well known in European megalithism. Dating carried out at the base of the cairn and under the paving dates the construction of the monument to the first half of the 4th millennium, i.e., almost a millennium before the generally accepted date for the construction of Aquitaine gallery graves. These results confirm that, in the current state of knowledge, the oldest gallery grave dolmens in Atlantic Europe are found in Aquitaine.
Comme une bitch ? Exploration des variations d’usage et de sens entre « bitch » et « chienne » en tant qu’insultes sexistes
Authors: Espilondo Aure
Published: January 2025

Cet article a pour but de mettre en lumière l’écart sémantique entre les insultes « chienne » et « bitch », qui font référence à la femelle du chien1, mais en lui attribuant des caractéristiques différentes. Prendre la mesure de cet écart, à l’aide de dictionnaires conventionnels et spécialisés, permet de s’interroger sur de possibles évolutions sémantiques : aux États-Unis, « bitch » fait l’objet d’une appropriation positive, qui s’appuie tant sur sa plasticité que sur une réévaluation de ses connotations. L’insulte « chienne », dont les caractéristiques diffèrent radicalement, pourrait-elle faire l’objet d’un tel processus en France métropolitaine ? Cette perspective est évaluée à travers une étude de cas portant sur l’usage qui est fait de « chienne » et de « bitch » par trois chanteuses et rappeuses françaises : Aya Nakamura, Tracy de Sá et Liza Monet. Si la perspective d’un usage positif de « chienne » semble encore lointaine, cette étude montre que le sens de cette insulte est d’ores et déjà remis en question.
Conflits latents et manifestes dans les pêcheries artisanales de l’écorégion de la Commission sous-régionale des pêches (CSRP) : tensions actuelles et défis futurs
Authors: Dème El hadj Bara , Touron-Gardic Grégoire , Failler Pierre
Published: January 2025

L’objectif de cet article est d’évaluer les facteurs exacerbant les conflits dans les pêcheries artisanales de l’écorégion de la Commission sous-régionale des pêches (CSRP) et de questionner la capacité des cadres actuels de gestion à les résoudre. La méthode a consisté à mener des interviews auprès des différentes parties prenantes dans les pays de la CSRP, combinant des entretiens semi-directifs et des groupes de discussion afin d’analyser les perceptions et dynamiques des conflits dans les pêcheries artisanales. Les résultats montrent que les conflits dans les pêcheries artisanales de la CSRP ne sont pas uniquement liés à la compétition pour l'accès aux ressources, mais sont le produit d'une combinaison de facteurs structurels et facteurs interactionnels. D'une part, les facteurs structurels, tels que l'influence des industries extractives, l'extension des Aires marines protégées (AMP), et les politiques de gestion perçues comme inéquitables, renforcent des asymétries de pouvoir et des tensions liées à l'accès aux ressources. D'autre part, les facteurs interactionnels, comme les rivalités internes entre pêcheurs artisanaux, les frustrations face aux inégalités technologiques et les incertitudes provoquées par le changement climatique, aggravent les dynamiques conflictuelles. Ces tensions sont enracinées dans des rapports de domination, des perceptions d'injustice et des déséquilibres dans la distribution des bénéfices, révélant une complexité bien au-delà de la seule lutte pour les ressources. Ces conflits risquent de s’intensifier à l'avenir avec l'élargissement des zones de pêche protégées, comme les Aires marines protégées et les Zones d’importance écologiques et biologiques (ZIEB), l'intensification de la migration des pêcheurs artisans, et le chevauchement des industries extractives avec ces zones dans les pays en développement. Ces dynamiques, combinées aux effets du changement climatique et à l'absence de mécanismes régionaux de gestion des conflits dans des cadres comme la CSRP, créeront un environnement encore plus conflictuel et incertain pour les pêcheurs artisanaux.
Introduction. Nineteenth-Century Protest Movements in Britain: A Survey of Historians’ Approaches
Authors: Bensimon Fabrice , Rogers Rachel
Published: January 2025

This article surveys the historiography of nineteenth and early twentieth century British protest movements and thus provides a broad framework for the contributions to this volume. It begins by providing a portrait of some of the key developments in the field, with a focus on the impact of post-war social history and the emergence of ‘history from below’. It then details some of the ways in which this body of work was built upon, challenged and consolidated in subsequent decades. A discussion of the type of sources exploited by historians working from a ‘bottom-up’ perspective is followed by some thoughts on the current state of protest studies in a British context. The contested ‘Britishness’ of nineteenth-century social and political movements is considered, along with the question of how historians today continue to study ordinary men and women in the past, and the movements they belonged to, in the words of Malcolm Chase, with both ‘empathy’ and ‘authenticity’.
Le mouvement owéniste ou la formation du socialisme britannique (1800-1845)
Authors: Siméon Ophélie
Published: January 2025

Dans le sillage d’un renouveau historiographique entamé depuis la fin des années 1960 et ayant contribué à réhabiliter le socialisme dit « utopique » en tant que courant théorique et politique à part entière, cet article entend explorer les origines, l’organisation et la postérité du premier mouvement socialiste britannique, également appelé owénisme (1800-1845). On examinera le paradoxe d’un groupe a priori apolitique, mais cependant en prise avec les mobilisations de son temps, en lien avec la volonté d’apporter un ensemble de solutions définitives à la « question sociale ». L’équilibre fragile entre rejet de la politique des partis et action militante sur le terrain sera éclairé à la lumière de tensions structurelles entre l’attitude souvent paternaliste d’Owen et les aspirations démocratiques d’une bonne part de ses disciples. L’analyse croisée de trois champs d’action interdépendants (les droits des travailleurs, des femmes et la question du suffrage) permettra de dresser le bilan politique de l’owénisme et de poursuivre l’examen critique de la notion de « socialisme utopique ».

Published: January 2025

Zinc stannate (ZTO) NPs were prepared hydrothermal for 20 hours at 200 ᵒC. Structural, morphological, and optical properties of the ZTO NPs were studied for different zinc salt types (ZnSO4.7H2O, Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O, and Zn (NO3)2•6H2O). The X-ray diffraction studies showed the crystalline nature with a spinel crystal structure of the ZTO nanostructure. FE-SEM image showed spherical morphology with the formation of a network of aggregates. The transmittance spectra were recorded at wavelengths ranging from 200 nm to 1200 nm. In particular, their optical band gap energies were 3.65, 3.85, and 3.8 eV for three zinc salts of ZTO (ZnSO4.7H2O, Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O, Zn (NO3)2.6H2O), respectively. The MIC showed the ZTO NPs for zinc salt ZnSO4.7H2O in Volumetric dilution 3.125% and 12.5 was more effective against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus from another zinc salt of ZTO NPs. Inhibition Zone assessed ZTO NPs' antibacterial efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. With three concentrations of ZTO, the test showed that ZTO NPs have a stronger antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria. The antibacterial activity of zinc salt ZnSO4.7H2O was found to be 32 against Escherichia coli and 19 nm against Staphylococcus aurous, it was more effective than other zinc salt of ZTO NPs.
Occurrence of Salmonella and presumptive Bacillus cereus in sesame products from Swiss retail stores

Published: January 2025

Sesame products such as tahini (tahin) or halva (halwa or helva), originating from Arabic cuisine, are becoming increasingly popular in Switzerland. Pathogens, such as Salmonella, can contaminate sesame products, as evidenced by various product recalls. In this study, the occurrence of Salmonella and Bacillus cereus group members was investigated in 100 sesame products (25 sesame seeds, 16 halva, 19 different sesame pastes, 7 sesame bars, 25 hummus, and 8 other products containing sesame) collected from Swiss retail stores. None of the products were positive for Salmonella, whereas B. cereus group members could be detected with bacterial counts between 1×102 and 9×102 CFU/g in 11 out of 100 (11%) products. The 11 isolates identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight were whole-genome sequenced with Illumina technology to confirm the identity of the pathogen, determine its toxin gene profile, and perform panC typing. Most of the isolates harbored genes encoding the enterotoxins Nhe, Hbl, and CytK. The isolates were assigned to diverse B. cereus group members, including one identified as B. cytotoxicus. In addition, one of the isolates matched genetically with the Thurigiensis strain used in biopesticide products. In conclusion, none of the investigated sesame products contained significant levels of Salmonella or B. cereus group members. However, as B. cereus with pathogenic potential was detected in multiple samples, proper storage is crucial to prevent its growth and ensure consumer safety, especially for products with high water activity such as hummus.
