Published: March 2021

Au niveau politique et de la rhétorique professionnelle du travail social est promue une plus grande participation des usagers à la définition des interventions qui les concernent. Dans une démarche d’analyse du travail, notre article vise à décrire comment des professionnels promeuvent concrètement cette participation dans un dispositif d’aide-contrainte du champ de la protection de l’enfance (visite médiatisée). Les activités à l’œuvre dans ce dispositif développent, selon notre analyse, une autre modalité d’intervention que les dispositifs plus classiques par entretiens. Cette modalité d’intervention place en son centre un rapport particulier au présent, à sa dimension expérientielle et événementielle.
Ethnographie des centres d’appels au Sénégal : des temporalités en crise ?
Authors: Tine Benoît
Published: March 2021

Étudier une facette d’une société suppose d’être attentif à son quotidien, notamment à l’occasion du travail. Aujourd’hui, le travail s’est imposé comme une valeur centrale dans nos sociétés contemporaine et est devenu une source importante de la construction de l’identité. Il connaît de profondes mutations notamment dans le secteur de relation clientèle. Notre étude longitudinale se fonde sur des méthodes de collectes de données qualitatives dans deux centres d’appels dakarois ainsi que sur la méthode de l’analyse de contenu. Elle montre que le travail de téléconseillers se dénature, se métamorphose à cause des conditions dans lesquelles il s’exerce sur fond de rationalisation et d’intensification. Le travail de téléconseillers dans les centres d’appels ne fait plus rêver comme à ses débuts, il y a 20 ans ; l’euphorie a fait place au désenchantement. Derrière les technologies et les délocalisations, se cachent des heurts et malheurs du travail affectant le travailleur et sa société : acculturation, mauvaise gestion des ressources humaines et des conditions de travail.
« Des parasites et des sangsues »
Authors: Boussac Tamara
Published: March 2021

Alors que les années 1950 sont souvent perçues comme la période du consensus keynésien aux États-Unis, en particulier dans le nord-est libéral, une étude du débat politique new-yorkais montre que la fraude sociale s’impose, à cette époque, comme un enjeu important pour les élus locaux et devient une catégorie d’action publique. Fondé sur des textes de lois, des correspondances d’élus et des articles de presse, cet article s’intéresse à la construction de la fraude comme un problème politique à New York pendant les années 1950. Généralement associée au néolibéralisme des années 1970, la criminalisation de la pauvreté commence en réalité, à l’échelle locale, dès la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.
La ligne « unitaire » des dessins de Robert Fuzier sur les communistes dans le quotidien central du Parti socialiste Le Populaire (1931-1940)
Authors: Nadaud Éric
Published: March 2021

Les dessins consacrés aux communistes par Robert Fuzier dans Le Populaire de 1931 à 1940 sont l’un des meilleurs révélateurs de la ligne « unitaire » qui singularise alors le quotidien central du Parti socialiste. Cette ligne est constante, malgré les avatars de la relation entre socialistes et communistes. Jusqu’en 1934, alors que l’heure est à la confrontation, Robert Fuzier ne pratique envers ces derniers qu’un persiflage bon enfant. Une fois signé le pacte d’unité d’action, il ne cesse de valoriser l’union avec eux. Après le pacte germano-soviétique d’août 1939, il ne les dénonce pas. Ainsi traduit-il la priorité donnée par son journal au combat contre le fascisme, malgré les socialistes les plus anticommunistes.
Integrated dynamic interval data envelopment analysis in the presence of integer and negative data
Authors: Bansal Pooja , Mehra Aparna
Published: March 2021

The conventional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models presume that the values of input-output variables of the decision-making units (DMUs) are precisely known. However, some real-life situations can authoritatively mandate the data to vary in concrete fine-tuned ranges, which can include negative values and measures that are allowed to take integer values only. Our study proposes an integrated dynamic DEA model to accommodate interval-valued and integer-valued features that can take negative values. The proposed one-step model follows the directional distance function approach to determine the efficiency of DMUs over time in the presence of carryovers connecting the consecutive periods. We use the pessimistic and optimistic standpoints to evaluate the respective lower and upper bounds of the interval efficiency scores of the DMUs. We compare our proposed approach with a few relevant studies in the literature. We also validate our model on a synthetically generated dataset. Furthermore, we showcase the proposed procedure's applicability on a real dataset from 2014 to 2018 of airlines operating in India.

Social Media Short Video-Sharing TikTok Application and Ethics
Authors: Meral Kevser Zeynep
Published: March 2021

With 3.8 billion users, social media created ethical problems as well. The Cambridge Analytica scandal has been a serious issue with data security lately. Contents not in compliance with general moral rules is another important violation of ethics. TikTok application, the fastest-rising short video-sharing website, is examined. As a result of the literature review, it is observed that TikTok application also had ethical violations issues like lack of private data safety, not sufficient precautionary system barriers for the young generation, and addiction risk. Furthermore, considering that the young people can interact with malicious users through the fake accounts and the risk of sharing their exceptional videos to have more viewers, it is suggested that the sanctions should be arranged as a deterrent in violation of the rules. Parents and young users must be educated about the risks and ethical violations of social media.

Smart Cities, ICT, and Small Businesses in the USA
Authors: Amaghionyeodiwe Lloyd
Published: March 2021

The phenomenon of smart cities is not new in the literature, and one of the definitions emphasizes the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve quality of life and efficiency of services. To this end, IT systems become crucial and essential to a city's quest to be “smart.” Thus, many organizations including SMEs have developed and utilized networks to facilitate their operations, transactions, and business functions. Given the role of small businesses in an economy and their quest operate in a smart environment and using surveys from organization, this study examines how smart these small businesses are by looking at their ICT usage. The study found that inasmuch as these small businesses improved in their usage of ICT, they are now faced with the risk of cyberattack, and while many of these businesses are virtually doing nothing to curb this, it becomes pertinent for an awareness to be put in place to help these small businesses realize the need for risk management especially as it relates to cyberattacks.
Transition for Transformation for Sustainable Automation
Authors: Bushell Stephen
Published: March 2021

Transformation and specifically digital transformation have been at the heart and soul of all enterprises. The focus of enterprises when it comes to transformation has been on digital transformation and in some cases organisational transformation. However, very rarely transformation has focused on both digital and organisational transformation, and very rarely for the purposes for transition for transformation. Transformation on its own will only provide improvement and enhancement to the current processes and systems and will not introduce new and innovate methods and approaches to the enterprises knowledge and capabilities. This chapter aims to emphasis the characteristics of transition for transformation from a business perspective in light of 21st century challenges and emphasizes the importance of transparency and collaboration.

Authors: Yoder Nick , Conner Pat , Martinez-Black Tyrone , Ressel Richie
Published: March 2021

The important role of social and emotional learning (SEL) to promote the holistic development of students, improve academic instruction, and prepare students for the world of work and civic life has been well-established. Although wide consensus has emerged about the importance of SEL, understanding the primary role SEL plays within academic learning and how to more fully embed SEL throughout the school day still appears to be elusive. Compounded by efforts to use SEL as a lever for equity and excellence, educators need practical tools and guidance about approaches that help them attune to the social, emotional, and academic needs of their students. In this chapter, the authors review 10 teaching practices that promote social, emotional, and academic development and ways in which each of these practices can be implemented in classrooms in a culturally responsive way.
The Clinical Utility of Psychometric Tests
Authors: Anunciação Luis , Arruda Marco A. , Landeira-Fernandez J.
Published: March 2021

The clinical utility of a measure involves its ability to support a wide range of decisions that enhance its pragmatism and use. Although several statistics are part of this feature, one centerpiece of this concept is the ability of an instrument to provide cutoff scores that can accurately discriminate between groups that consist of patients and non-patients. This latter aspect leads to such concepts as sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values and likelihood ratios, accuracy, and receiver operating characteristic curves. This chapter addresses these topics from two perspectives. First, because these features of clinical utility are encompassed as a subfield of statistical decision theory, the authors provide a historical review that links null hypothesis significance testing (NHST), signal detection theory (SDT), and psychological testing. Second, a real-data approach is used to demonstrate these concepts. Additionally, a free software program was developed to present these concepts.

Role-Based Profiling Using Fuzzy Adaptive Resonance Theory for Securing Database Systems
Authors: Brahma Anitarani , Panigrahi Suvasini
Published: March 2021

Very large amounts of time and effort have been invested by the research community working on database security to achieve high assurance of security and privacy. An important component of a secure database system is intrusion detection system which has the ability to successfully detect anomalous behavior caused by applications and users. However, modeling the normal behavior of a large number of users in a huge organization is quite infeasible and inefficient. The main purpose of this research investigation is thus to model the behavior of roles instead of users by applying adaptive resonance theory neural network. The observed behavior which deviates from any of the established role profiles is treated as malicious. The proposed model has the advantage of identifying insider threat and is applicable for large organizations as it is based on role profiling instead of user profiling. The proposed system is capable of detecting intrusion with high accuracy along with minimized false alarms.

Authors: Malegiannaki Irini , Daradoumis Thanasis , Retalis Symeon
Published: March 2021

Serious games are used in the field of cultural heritage as a means to transmit cultural knowledge and enable an experiential contact with cultural content. The authors' aim is to investigate whether a game design exploiting the less used combination of complex storytelling, endogenous cooperation, and competition has the potential to sufficiently convey cultural content. More specifically, through four game interventions, it was investigated how a story-driven board game functions with teenage and adult users alike. A mixed research methodology was followed in all game sessions and data were collected through observation, semi-structured group interviews, and short questionnaires. Findings confirmed the playability of the suggested design and the potential to amuse players while providing learning gains and engagement with cultural content. Nevertheless, further evaluation in formal and non-formal educational settings is essential to validate our conclusions.
Enhanced Churn Prediction Using Stacked Heuristic Incorporated Ensemble Model
Authors: Karuppaiah Sivasankar , Gopalan N. P.
Published: March 2021

In a rapidly growing industry like telecommunications, customer churn prediction is a crucial challenge affecting the sustainability of the business as a whole. The fact that retaining a customer is more profitable than acquiring new customers is important to predict potential churners and present them with offers to prevent them from churning. This work presents a stacked CLV-based heuristic incorporated ensemble (SCHIE) to enable identification of potential churners so as to provide them with offers that can eventually aid in retaining them. The proposed model is composed of two levels of prediction followed by a recommendation to reduce customer churn. The first level involves identifying effective models to predict potential churners. This is followed by result segregation, CLV-based prediction, and user shortlisting for offers. Experimental results indicate high efficiencies in predicting potential churners and non-churners. The proposed model is found to reduce the overall loss by up to 50% in comparison to state-of-the-art models.

Published: March 2021

Patients with grade III anaplastic astrocytomas (AA) separate into survival cohorts based on the presence or absence of mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH). Progression to glioblastoma (GBM), morphologically distinguishable by elevated microvascular proliferation, necrosis, and cell division in tumor tissues, is considerably more rapid in IDH wild-type tumors such that their diagnosis as AA is relatively rare. More often initially presenting as GBM, these contain higher numbers of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) than most AA, and GBM patients also have higher levels of circulating M2 monocytes. TAM and M2 monocytes share functional properties inhibitory for antitumor immunity. Yet, although there is a wealth of data implicating TAM in tumor-immune evasion, there has been limited analysis of the impact of the circulating M2 monocytes. In the current study, immune parameters in sera, circulating cells, and tumor tissues from patients with primary gliomas morphologically diagnosed as AA were assessed. Profound differences in serum cytokines, glioma extracellular vesicle cross-reactive Abs, and gene expression by circulating cells identified two distinct patient cohorts. Evidence of type 2–immune bias was most often seen in patients with IDH wild-type AA, whereas a type 1 bias was common in patients with tumors expressing the IDH1R132H mutation. Nevertheless, a patient’s immune profile was better correlated with the extent of tumor vascular enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging than IDH mutational status. Regardless of IDH genotype, AA progression appears to be associated with a switch in systemic immune bias from type 1 to type 2 and the loss of tumor vasculature integrity.
Cutting Edge: EPHB2 Is a Coreceptor for Fungal Recognition and Phosphorylation of Syk in the Dectin-1 Signaling Pathway

Published: March 2021

Invasive fungal infections have become a leading cause of death among immunocompromised patients, leading to around 1.5 million deaths per year globally. The molecular mechanisms by which hosts defend themselves against fungal infection remain largely unclear, which impedes the development of antifungal drugs and other treatment options. In this article, we show that the tyrosine kinase receptor EPH receptor B2 (EPHB2), together with dectin-1, recognizes β-glucan and activates downstream signaling pathways. Mechanistically, we found that EPHB2 is a kinase for Syk and is required for Syk phosphorylation and activation after dectin-1 ligand stimulation, whereas dectin-1 is critical for the recruitment of Syk. Ephb2-deficient mice are susceptible to Candida albicans–induced fungemia model, which also supports the role of EPHB2 in antifungal immunity. Overall, we provide evidence that EPHB2 is a coreceptor for the recognition of dectin-1 ligands and plays an essential role in antifungal immunity by phosphorylating Syk.

Published: March 2021

Inverted papilloma (IP) is considered a rare benign sinonasal lesion, which is usually presented in adults. The presentation of IP is usually a unilateral nasal obstruction. IPs in the pediatric age group are quite rare as only a few cases were reported. This review aims to increase the awareness of IP to consider this entity in the diagnosis of unilateral nasal obstruction in children. This study was a review of 10 articles which reported the occurrence of IPs in children. Data include age, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment which were extracted and analyzed. The total number of cases was 12. The mean age of all cases was 10.5 years. The majority were male (66%). The main presenting symptom of all cases was nasal obstruction along with other nasal symptoms. The majority of the patients were treated by surgical excision of the lesion. Most of the cases 6 (50%) used endoscopic sinus surgery, and 5 (41%) of them were managed by lateral rhinotomy with or without medial maxillectomy. Follow-up showed that 7 (58%) of the cases did not document any recurrence of the disease. The reoccurrence occurred in 5 (41%) of the cases within the 1st year after the management. IPs can arise in the pediatric age group and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of unilateral nasal obstruction. It is diagnosed and treated likewise in adults.

Published: March 2021

تحلل هذه الدراسة ظاهرة المقاطع الصوتية فائقة الثقل في الكلمات العربية المستعارة في اللغة التركية، والتي تُعد من الظواهر اللغوية اللتي يتم تلافيها في العديد من اللغات. يتقصى هذا البحث كيف يتم تلافي مثل هذه المقاطع في الكلمات العربية المستعارة في التركية وذلك بتتبع ما يتعلق بالمواضع اللتي يتم فيها نشوء مثل هذه المقاطع وكذلك استراتيجيات الإصلاح المستخدمة من أجل تلافي احتمال نشوء مقطع لفظ فائق الثقل في المخرج النهائي للكلمة. يقدم البحث تحليلاً لغويا لهذه الظاهرة عن طريق نظرية الأوبتمالتي (Prince and Smolensky 1993/2004). بالإضافة الى ذلك يتبنى البحث في تحليل هذه الظاهرة نظرية المورا للمقاطع والوزن المقطعي (Davis 2011 ،Hayes 1989 ) وتقوم هذه النظرية المهمة في اللغويات الحديثة على الحساب الكمي للمقطع الصوتي. تقدم هذه الدراسة التحليلية للمقاطع الصوتية فائقة الثقل ايضاً مقارنة تحليلية لبعض الكلمات التركية الأصل باعتبار أن عديداً من المفردات اللتي تتم فيها مثل هذه الظواهر تخضع لنظام صوتي داخلي ويبين البحث في تحليله ونتائجه كيف تتم معالجة مثل هذه المقاطع وما يترتب على ذلك من تغييرات في المخرج النهائي للكلمة. توضح النتائج أن تجنب المقاطع الفائقة الثقل في اللغة ينبع من متطلبات القيد العالي المستوى *3? (Kager 1999). كما تقدم الدراسة نظرة لطبيعة التكييف الصوتي في علم أصوات الكلمات المستعارة. كما أنه يدعم وجهة النظر القائلة بأن تكييف الكلمات المستعارة يعتمد على النظام الصوتي الداخلي للغة، ويمكن أن يُعزى إلى قواعد النظام الصوتي للغة الأصلية للمتحدث.

Published: March 2021

The price of certain antiparasitic drugs (e.g., albendazole and mebendazole) has dramatically increased since 2010. The effect of these rising prices on treatment costs and use of standard of care (SOC) drugs is unknown. To measure the impact of drug prices on overall outpatient cost and quality of care, we identified outpatient visits associated with ascariasis, hookworm, and trichuriasis infections from the 2010 to 2017 MarketScan Commercial Claims and Encounters and Multi-state Medicaid databases using Truven Health MarketScan Treatment Pathways. Evaluation was limited to members with continuous enrollment in non-capitated plans 30 days prior, and 90 days following, the first diagnosis. The utilization of SOC prescriptions was considered a marker for quality of care. The impact of drug price on the outpatient expenses was measured by comparing the changes in drug and nondrug outpatient payments per patient through Welch’s two sample t-tests. The total outpatient payments per patient (drug and nondrug), for the three parasitic infections, increased between 2010 and 2017. The increase was driven primarily by prescription drug payments, which increased 20.6–137.0 times, as compared with nondrug outpatient payments, which increased 0.3–2.2 times. As prices of mebendazole and albendazole increased, a shift to alternative SOC and non-SOC drug utilization was observed. Using parasitic infection treatment as a model, increases in prescription drug prices can act as the primary driver of increasing outpatient care costs. Simultaneously, there was a shift to alternative SOC, but also to non-SOC drug treatment, suggesting a decrease in quality of care.
Studies on Correlation of Grease Life between Shielded and Unshielded Conditions in Rolling Element Bearings
Authors: Meshram Rahul , Mayeen Hafiz , Pokhriyal Naveen Kumar , Mahapatra Rajendra , Harinarain Ajay , Bansal Veena , Saxena Deepak
Published: March 2021

It has been reported that 90% of greases are used for the lubrication of rolling element bearings. Greases are important systemic components which greatly influence the life of the bearings besides the dynamic test conditions encountered throughout its operation such as load, speed, temperature and bearing design. The greases may be used in bearings running in open condition or using shields to prevent it being leaked or thrown off during operation.

The dynamic life of grease is determined by tests run on multiple sets at elevated temperatures till failure is encountered. These tests measure the grease life as well as the bearing life. Simulated tests in conditions close to real life applications are possible using this method. The FE9 test rig is one of the commonly used test rigs for finding the dynamic grease life. In this paper, grease candidates with differing composition were evaluated at different elevated temperatures in the open and shielded conditions to attempt to find out whether a correlation exists between these two operating conditions.

Published: March 2021

Salatiga adalah sebuah kota kecil di Provinsi Jawa Tengah, Indonesia. Universitas Kristen Satya Wacana (UKSW) adalah salah satu universitas yang terdapat di Salatiga. Meski berada di kota kecil, UKSW memiliki mahasiswa yang datang untuk menuntut ilmu dari berbagai daerah di luar Salatiga. Tak heran jika daerah sekitar UKSW mudah dijumpai rumah kost. Rumah kost biasanya diidentikkan dengan mahasiswa. Mahasiswa yang memiliki kerabat atau kenalan dari Salatiga tidak mengalami kendala berarti dalam mencari kost strategis sesuai anggaran dan pertimbangan lainnya. Namun, bagi mereka yang berasal dari luar daerah akan sulit menentukan tempat kost mana yang akan menjadi tempat tinggalnya. Oleh karena itu, akan dibangun sistem informasi rumah kost yang mengakomodir pemilik kost di Salatiga untuk mempromosikan kostnya, dan memudahkan mahasiswa dalam menentukan rumah kost yang diinginkan sesuai dengan pertimbangan biaya, lokasi dari kampus, dan fasilitas yang tersedia di rumah kost. Sistem akan dibangun menggunakan metode object oriented dan Unified Modelling Language (UML) sebagai pemodelannya. Sistem ini akan berjalan di platform android.

Published: March 2021

In 2007, the estimated HIV and AIDS case rates among adult and adolescent African-American females in the United States was 60.6 per 100,000, as compared to 3.3 per 100,000 for adult and adolescent white American females. Women living with HIV or AIDS often face complex social problems that may inhibit them from accessing resources and healthcare services to assist them in coping with the disease. In-depth interviews and direct observations utilizing open-ended note taking were conducted at an HIV service provider’s office to determine the unique needs that develop because of these complex social issues, specifically among HIV positive women of color in Washington, DC. Ethnographic methods were used to address the study’s research questions among 10 women of different ages and backgrounds in group settings at a non-profit organization in Washington, DC. The qualitative results of the study indicate that the women dealt with a myriad of social and mental issues related to their diagnosis, such as fear of disclosure to family and friends. The study also revealed that the women were in dire need of mental health services to address their unresolved issues regarding their diagnosis. The implications of this research add to the growing body of literature on the mental and social health needs of women of color who are HIV positive.
