Impacts des structures rigides de protection sur la côte néo-brunswickoise de la baie des Chaleurs au Canada
Authors: Diouf Simon , Bérubé Dominique , Robichaud André
Published: February 2022

En raison de l’érosion côtière, les structures rigides de protection (SRP) sont devenues particulièrement nombreuses sur le territoire de la Commission de Services régionaux Chaleur, ce qui pose la nécessité de mesurer leurs impacts sur ce littoral. Pour cela, les techniques de la photogrammétrie ont été utilisées sur quatre sites. Dans un premier temps, le déplacement historique du trait de côte a été mesuré entre 1934-1985et entre 1985-2012/2018. Ensuite, la superficie de plage occupée par les SRP a été quantifiée. Finalement, des levés topographiques sur la morphologie des plages ont été réalisés. Les résultats montrent que les SRP représentent en moyenne 54 % du trait de côte de la région d’étude. Les parties rigidifiées du trait de côte deviennent fixes, alors que les parties naturelles adjacentes montrent globalement une accélération du recul. Les SRP recouvrent 23 % des plages de Nigadoo, 12 % de celles de Beresford Nord, 37 % de celles de Salmon Beach Ouest et 27 % de celles de Salmon Beach Est. Finalement, il a été constaté que les plages rigidifiées sont en moyenne deux à quatre fois moins larges que les plages naturelles et présentent les plus faibles élévations du haut estran.
Intelligence artificielle, données volumineuses et conservation de la biodiversité.
Authors: Duberry Jérôme
Published: February 2022

L'intensification technologique croissante de la conservation de la biodiversité répond à un besoin de capacité accrue d'analyse de données volumineuses, plus diverses et plus complexes. L'intelligence artificielle (IA) et les données volumineuses permettent de mieux comprendre la planète et ses habitants. L’IA permet aussi de soutenir les efforts des sciences participatives en automatisant la reconnaissance d’espèces dans certaines données collectées par les citoyens. Elle implique parfois également la collaboration avec le secteur privé, et plus particulièrement de grandes entreprises technologiques qui soutiennent financièrement et technologiquement des projets de conservation. Si la contribution des citoyens et des grandes entreprises technologiques à la conservation de la biodiversité est à la fois louable et souhaitable, les enjeux diffèrent. Alors que les sciences participatives s’inscrivent dans une démarche scientifique qui implique la transparence et la justification de décisions, les critères qui conditionnent le soutien de ces entreprises manquent souvent de transparence. La comparaison de ces deux formes de participation aux efforts de conservation assistés par l'IA met en évidence le besoin accru de transparence des grandes entreprises technologiques, d'autant plus que leur rôle ne consiste pas simplement à collecter des données, mais bien plus fondamentalement à soutenir les projets sur le plan financier et technologique.

Authors: Klopotov Аnatoliy A. , Slobodyan Mikhail S. , Klimenov Vacily A. , Kurgan Kirill , Ustinov Artem
Published: February 2022

The paper reports changes in strain fields on welded sample surfaces from commercial pure titanium, joined by both laser beam welding (LBW) and gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) procedures, under uniaxial tensile loads. Their dynamics were investigated by the digital image correlation method using a ‘Vic-3D’ optical system. In addition, stress-strain curves were drawn in both σeng-εeng and σtrue-εtrue coordinates. It was shown that the laser welded sample was characterized by a higher ultimate tensile strength to yield point ratio than the as-received one. The GTAW sample fractured under much less stresses than the LBW one.
Study of Abrasive Grains for Susceptibility to Electrostatic Field Effect
Authors: Lyukshin V.S. , Shatko Dmitry B. , Strelnikov P.A.
Published: February 2022

Currently, two main methods of applying abrasive grains to the surface of a flexible backing - mechanical and electrostatic - are used for the manufacture of grinding tools. The mechanical method of abrasive applying involves pouring an abrasive onto a backing, on which an adhesive has been previously applied. In this case, grains are fixed on the surface of a backing in a non-optimal way in a chaotic manner without taking into account their geometric parameters. This subsequently leads to rather low performance of such tools, thereby not allowing the full use of their capabilities. In the electrostatic coating, abrasive grains are oriented along their major axis perpendicular to a backing. A large number of studies show that grain orientation by this method improves the cutting performance of an abrasive paper. At the same time, the mechanism of the effect of an electrostatic field on abrasives of various grain sizes, depending on the interelectrode space, has not been fully studied. Based on this, studies aimed at scientific substantiation of the process of orientation of abrasive grains on the working surface of an elastic tool in an electrostatic field are of great relevance. This work is devoted to the study of the effect of an electrostatic field on abrasive grains. The article presents some results of studies of the susceptibility of brown aluminium oxide 14A of various grain sizes to the electrostatic effect.
IL-17 Receptor Signaling through IL-17A or IL-17F Is Sufficient to Maintain Innate Response and Control of Helicobacter pylori Immunopathogenesis
Authors: Dixon Beverly R E A , Lee Tiffany J , Contreras Healey Diana C , Li Jing , Goettel Jeremy A , Piazuelo M Blanca , Algood Holly M Scott
Published: February 2022

IL-17R signaling is required for control of extracellular pathogens and is also implicated in development of chronic inflammatory processes. The response to the human pathogen Helicobacter pylori results in Th1 and Th17 cell activation and a chronic inflammatory process that can lead to adverse outcomes, such as gastric cancer. Previously, we identified IL-17RA as a requirement for the recruitment of neutrophils and control of H. pylori colonization in the gastric mucosa. Unexpectedly, H. pylori–infected Il17ra−/− mice had significantly more chronic inflammation than H. pylori–infected wild-type mice. In this study, human epithelial cell lines and murine models were used to investigate differential roles for IL-17A, IL-17F, and IL-17A/F during H. pylori infection. Moreover, the hypothesis that IL-17RA signaling, specifically in lymphocytes, provides an autocrine feedback loop that downregulates Th17 cytokine production was investigated. The data indicate that epithelial cells exhibit a stronger response to IL-17A and IL-17A/F than IL-17F, and that IL-17A and IL-17A/F can synergize with TNF and IL-22 to induce antimicrobial genes of gastric epithelial cells. In vivo deficiencies of IL-17A or IL-17F alone did not significantly change the immunopathological response to H. pylori, but if both cytokines were absent, a hyperinflammatory lymphocytic response developed. Using a cre/flox targeting approach for IL-17RA combined with infection, our findings demonstrate that increased chronic inflammation in Il17ra−/− mice was not attributed to a T cell–intrinsic defect. These data imply that IL-17A and IL-17F may have overlapping roles in maintenance of the gastric mucosal response to infection.
L’ESPERIENZA DEL DOLORE TRA FILOSOFIA E NEUROSCIENZE
Authors: Vanzago Luca
Published: February 2022

In this essay I propose to analyze two fundamental positions that have recently emerged in the philosophical debate in relation to the experience of pain: the reductionist one peculiar to the neurocognitive area, and the phenomenological one. The comparison is conducted in the light of the notion of representation, in order to show that the reductionist perspective fails to give a satisfactory account of the properly experiential aspect of pain, which instead the phenomenological approach is able to grasp more adequately.
ARTE, POLITICA, CULTURA NEI GIARDINI DI VILLA MELZI D’ERIL A BELLAGIO. IL MONUMENTO A DANTE E BEATRICE DI GIOVANNI BATTISTA COMOLLI, 1810
Authors: Selvafolta Ornella
Published: February 2022

On the occasion of the double anniversary - the seven hundred years since the death of Dante Alighieri and the two hundred years since the death of Napoleon Bonaparte - the essay deals with the monument of Dante and Beatrice sculpted by the neoclassical artist Giovanni Battista Comolli in 1810. His client was Francesco Melzi d’Eril, former Vice President of the Italian Republic (1802-1804), then Grand Chancellor Keeper of Seals of the Kingdom of Italy (1805-1814). Located in the gardens of the Villa Melzi d’Eril in Bellagio on Lake Como, the monument features the meeting of Dante and Beatrice in Canto XVIII of Paradiso, when the woman soothes the poet for the prophecy of exile announced by his ancestor Cacciaguida. The paper highlights how this subject implies on the part of the client the desire to celebrate the poet and his work as expressions of Italian values, at a time when Napoleon’s authoritarian turn had disappointed his aspirations for the country’s greater independence. The sculpture also marks some artistic novelties and, as a whole, can be considered an early example of a monument specifically designed around Dante and his Commedia, anticipating the artistic success of the poet in the following decades of the Nineteenth century.

Published: February 2022

Context

Whether playing position influences injury in male academy soccer players (ASPs) is unclear.

Objective

To determine if playing position was associated with injury in ASPs.

Design

Descriptive epidemiology study.

Setting

English, Spanish, Uruguayan, and Brazilian soccer academies.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 369 ASPs from the under-14 to under-23 age groups, classified as post-peak height velocity using maturity offset, and grouped as goalkeepers, lateral defenders, central defenders, lateral midfielders, central midfielders, or forwards.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Injuries were recorded prospectively over 1 season. Injury prevalence proportion (IPP), days missed, and injury incidence rate (IIR, injuries/1000 training or match hours, n = 116) were analyzed according to playing position.

Results

No association with playing position was observed for any injury type or location regarding IPP (P ≥ .089) or days missed (P ≥ .235). The IIR was higher in central defenders than in lateral defenders for general (9.30 versus 4.18 injuries/1000 h, P = .009), soft tissue (5.14 versus 1.95 injuries/1000 h, P = .026), and ligament or tendon injuries (2.69 versus 0.56 injuries/1000 h, P = .040). The central versus lateral or forward positions were not associated with IPP (P ≥ .051) or days missed (P ≥ .083), but general IIR was greater in the central position than the lateral or forward positions (8.67 versus 6.12 injuries/1000 h, P = .047).

Conclusions

Academy soccer players' playing positions were not associated with IPP or days missed, but the higher general, soft tissue, and ligament or tendon IIRs in central defenders suggest that this position warrants specific attention regarding injury-prevention strategies. These novel findings highlight the importance of considering training or match exposure when investigating the influence of playing position on injury in ASPs.
Effects of a Single Electrical Stimulation Session on Foot Force Production, Foot Dome Stability, and Dynamic Postural Control
Authors: Tourillon Romain , Bothorel Hugo , McKeon Patrick O. , Gojanovic Boris , Fourchet François
Published: February 2022

Context

Mounting evidence suggests neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) as a promising modality for enhancing lower limb muscle strength, yet the functional effects of a single electrical stimulation session for improving the function of the intrinsic foot muscles (IFM) has not been evaluated.

Objective

To investigate the immediate effects of an NMES session compared with a sham stimulation session on foot force production, foot dome stability, and dynamic postural control in participants with static foot pronation.

Design

Randomized controlled clinical trial.

Setting

Laboratory.

Patients or Other Participants

A total of 46 participants (23 males, 23 females) with static foot pronation according to their Foot Posture Index (score ≥ 6) were randomly assigned to an NMES (n = 23) or control (n = 23) group.

Intervention(s)

The NMES group received a single 15-minute NMES session on the dominant foot across the IFM. The control group received a 15-minute sham electrical stimulation session.

Main Outcome Measure(s)

All outcome measurements were assessed before and after the intervention and consisted of foot force production on a pressure platform, foot dome stability, and dynamic postural control. Statistical analysis was based on the responsiveness of the outcome measures and responder analysis using the minimum detectable change scores for each outcome measure.

Results

In the NMES group, 78% of participants were classified as responders for at least 2 of the 3 outcomes, compared with only 22% in the control group. The relative risk of being a responder in the NMES group compared with the control group was 3.6 (95% CI = 1.6, 8.1]. Interestingly, we found that all participants who concomitantly responded to foot strength and navicular drop (n = 8) were also responders in dynamic postural control.

Conclusions

Compared with a sham stimulation session, a single NMES session was effective in immediately improving foot function and dynamic postural control in participants with static foot pronation. These findings support the role of NMES for improving IFM function in this population.

Background:

Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) includes pathologies of different clinical courses, treatments, outcomes. Our study aims to investigate the late effects of NHL survivors (NHLS).

Materials and Methods:

Among 59 NHL cases, 50 survivors completed their NHL treatment between 2003 and 2019. Out of 59 patients, the cumulative survival rates and event-free survival rates after 10 years since diagnosis were 82.9% ±5.2% and 84.1% ±5.2%, respectively. In addition, we compared the data related to chronic health and psychosocial conditions with their siblings (n = 61).

Results:

The age and gender ratios were similar in the NHLS (n = 50) and the control group (n = 61). The rate of nephrotoxicity (P = 0.02) and the frequency of admission to the hospital (P < 0.01) were significantly higher in the survivors than in the control group. Cardiotoxicity is detected in 3 (6%) of NHLS with cumulative anthracycline dose <300 mg/m2. The social status (being married [P < 0.01], having children [P = 0.003]) is impaired in NHLS. The alcohol and smoking habits, education status, and health conditions (endocrinologic, cardiac, neurological, and pulmonary) were similar in both groups. One patient had acute myeloid leukemia as a secondary malignancy. Twenty NHLS took rituximab, two of them took brentuximab vedotin plus chemotherapy. NHLS have impairment in health status, social life.

Conclusion:

Nephrotoxicity is a statistically more common late effect than the others in the survivors. We observe cardiotoxicity in low cumulative doses of anthracycline. A more significant number of patients is required to reveal late side effects on novel drugs.

Published: February 2022

Context:

Animal bites including insect, reptile, and mammalian bites are common presentations to the emergency department (ED). Although profile and outcome of individual bites are described in detail, the literature on comprehensive overall clinical spectrum and seasonal variation of all animal bites is scant.

Aims:

To describe the spectrum, seasonal variation, clinical features, and outcomes of all patients presenting as emergencies due to animal bites.

Methods:

All the patients who presented to the ED of a large tertiary care hospital in South India with bites from January 2017 to December 2018 were retrospectively included in the analysis.

Results:

During the 2-year study period, animal bites constituted 0.83% of all ED admissions with 1145 incidents included in our analysis. The various animal bites/stings were classified as follows: mammal bites (480: 41.9%), arthropod bites (275: 24%), reptile bites (290: 25.3%), and unknown bites (100: 8.6%). We found an increase in the incidence of bites during the monsoon months of July to September (average: 58 cases per month) in our geographical locality. More than half (46: 58%) of scorpion stings had features of envenomation while a quarter (19: 24%) had the signs of autonomic storm. Snake bites constituted a quarter (25.2%: 289/1145) of all animal bites with 66% (191/289) showing features of envenomation. Dog bites constituted the majority of mammalian bites with 73% (352/480), followed by rat bites (14%: 68/480), cat bites (7.5%: 37/480), human bites (2.5%: 12/480), and monkey bites (1.9%: 9/480). The World Health Organization rabies exposure Category 3 bites were seen in 48%, 12%, and 27% of dog, rat, and cat bites, respectively.

Conclusion:

Snake and dog bites comprised the majority of all animal bites. There was a clear seasonal pattern with increased prevalence of bites during the rainy season.

Gender refers to the socially constituted relations between men and women. It focuses on power relations, roles and challenges along with the existing women's subordination in the society. Gender Inclusiveness is additional diverse activity and process of local governments, local institutions like Ward, VDC (Gaunpalika), DCC (District Coordination committee), and Municipality (LGs) with self-reliant local governance and sustainable and effective service providing agencies. This paper entitled “An Overview of Gender Variation in Local Governments: With Special Reference to Local Election of Nepal, 2017” is carried out with the objective to highlight the existing variation of women's inclusion in local governments among developed and developing countries. It analyses the provisions regarding inclusion addressed in the federal Constitution of Nepal in local elections. This paper widely covers concept, definition, theories, practice, situation, laws, policies and program at all levels. The paper is built on secondary sources of information, data published by Election Commission 2017, in Nepal. The raw data are analysed using the Excel spread program on computer and are calculated in frequency distribution and percentage to make its meaningful analysis. Data is carefully analysed and interpreted for generalization. The gender inclusion in local government is gradually increasing. As in national election 2017, the female elected members in local government are almost 40 percent in the districts of Nepal and the data is more than allocated (33%) by the Constitution of Nepal 2015 and election manifestos of different political parties. All the acts, policies and constitutions also emphasized the gender inclusion in all sector of Nepalese government.
Role of Slogan in Political Mobilisation in Nigeria A Study on 'O To Ge'
Authors: Ahmed Ibrahim Lawal
Published: February 2022

One of the tasks of political parties in the modern democracy is political mobilization. In a competitive democracy political mobilization requires good strategy which demands exploitation of all the tools of mobilization. Political mobilization in Nigeria is simply reduce to election, hence, politicians increasingly tend to rely on bribe and intimidation of people to woe them into voting a particular party. Moreover, through institutionalization of poverty and manipulation of religion, traditional values and generosity, neopatrimonialism becomes a salient feature of Nigeria’s politics. However, the deep divide between the elite and the people provides an opportunity to exploit in order to defeat neopatrimonialism and win an election in a fair and peaceful manner. In this regard, slogan is a powerful mobilization tool that politicians and political parties should pay attention to. Using secondary data analysis, the paper exposes the power of political slogan as shown by O To Ge in Kwara State. The paper shows how slogan can be developed by careful study of the socio-economic condition of the people and the attitude of the ruling party to break the neopatrimonial politics and achieve an electoral victory.

DEVELOPMENT OF PLASTIC DEFORMATION IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL COPPER POLYCRYSTALS WITH DIFFERENT TWIN STRUCTURE
Authors: Ftomov Ye.V. , Badiyan E.E. , Tonkopryad A.G. , Shekhovtsov O.V. , Shurinov R.V.
Published: February 2022

Experimental studies of regularities of occurrence and development of substructural and orientational heterogeneity of polycrystalline copper foils with different twin structure in the process of their deformation in conditions of active tension have been carried out. It is shown that by selecting the regime of thermal treatment of fine-grained copper foil three types of samples with different twin structure can be obtained. The first type is characterized by the presence of twins, which differ in size, shape and type of boundaries. Samples of the second type contain twins with faceted boundaries. Samples of the third type contain parallel twins with rectilinear boundaries. Such a variety of twin structures not only predetermines the difference of mechanical characteristics for samples of different types but also regularities of substructure and orientation changes accompanying the plastic deformation of samples. The use of a highly sensitive imaging method that allows in situ characterization of substructural and orientational heterogeneity during deformation and other methods (optical and raster microscopy, interferometry) allowed us to detect specific features of the course of relaxation processes in samples of different types.

The structure of a profiled tungsten single crystal obtained by plasma-induction layer-by-layer growth on a single crystal seed crystal at different deposition rates is investigated. Investigated – microhardness, size of the subgrain structure, angles of misorientation of subgrains, the nature of the distribution of dislocations, etc. A complex of experimental methods of modern physical materials science was used, including light, scanning and transmission microdiffraction electron microscopy. It was found that the ingot is a single crystal body with a crystallographic orientation given by the seed crystal. An increase in the growth rate to 70 mm/min leads to an insignificant decrease in microhardness, refinement of the substructure with a uniform distribution of the dislocation density, which makes it possible to obtain tungsten single crystals with a single crystal structure at disorientation angles not exceeding 3°.

The rates of pumping hydrogen and nitrogen by the non-evaporable Zr(86)-Al(14) getter located inside the chamber of a plasma-ion proton injector are investigated. The measurements at the temperature range 473…1300 K and pressures from 13 to 10-3 Pa were carried out. The highest pumping rates of hydrogen ((283±15) l/s) and nitrogen ((133±15) l/s) achieved at the temperature range 525…575 K and pressure from 13 to 10-3 Pa has been established. It is shown that the proposed non-evaporated getter Zr(86)-Al(14) provided the required operating pressure in the chamber of the plasma-ion injector of the linear proton accelerator and the minimum concentration of hydrogen, nitrogen, and other residual gases.

Premium on a Budget: Second-hand iPhones in Indonesia
Authors:   School of Business and Management Institut Teknologi Bandung, Hawari M. Thariq
Published: February 2022

Apple, as one of the major players in the global smartphone market, does not have a strong position in the market but there are unique patterns found in the iPhone market in Indonesia as the second-hand market is thriving, although the newer iPhones keep releasing annually. This research is trying to explore the uniqueness of the Indonesia market through several interviews conducted and observation. Through analysing the company’s internal capabilities and market conditions in Indonesia, it is found that despite the annual changes, Apple has preserved the older iPhone due to longer life cycle support by the company, releasing the older iPhones as ‘cheaper versions’ at discounted prices as the part of strategy to maintain the premium images of iPhones. This strategy not only meant to increase the sales of iPhones, but also to increase the consumer base of the iOS product as the iPhone was considered a gateway of the Apple software and product ecosystem. The buyer desired to have the iOS experience on a budget. However, most second-hand iPhones in Indonesia were not registered under Indonesian authorities which could potentially be blocked by the Indonesian government and buyers’ concern about the used quality product. Solutions proposed for the Indonesian market meant selling the certified refurbished iPhone that officially shipped to Indonesia as the budget iPhone options with better quality control to ensure the consumer’s peace of mind.

Authors: Sharma Monika
Published: February 2022

The Thrombosed external pile is the one which is located distal to the dentate line and develop as a result of tortuosity and distension of External Hemorrhoidal venous system. The engorgement of a hemorrhoidal vessel with acute swelling may allow blood to pool and subsequently clot; this leads to the Acute Thrombosed External Pile mass, a bluish purplish discolored swelling with severe pain and tenderness. The present case is of TEP (Thrombosed external pile) and the effect of Leech application is evaluated on this. The main objective is to assess the effective role of Leech on essential parameters of the patient,that are troublesome sign and symptoms - Pain, edema, tenderness and discoloration. The case is successfully managed with Leech therapy. Hirudin, calin, Factor Xa present in the saliva of Leech helps in oppressing the process of blood clot in an External pile mass and provides a symptomatic relief to the patient.
Genetics and population history. The case of the Iberian Peninsula and the “origin” of Basques
Authors: Bertranpetit Jaume
Published: February 2022

One of the main challenges of human population genetics has
been the reconstruction of the population history of humans at different scales, from the origin of the modern humans to the history of specific groups. In all cases information from other historical sciences (including archaeology, linguistics and physical anthropology) should match in the unique frame of population history. Cavalli-Sforza, had a pioneering role in defining the problem and putting together a database of classical genetic markers and statistical methods to make the genetic approach of high relevance. One of the problems studied refers to the Basque population, establishing its distinctiveness and “origin”. As in many other settings, research in the area in the last few decades has flourished by adding much DNA information and statistical analysis to corroborate or correct the initial hypotheses. In the case of the Basques, the differentiation without strong external genetic influences has been confirmed as due to isolation, and instead of being pre-Neolithic, it is currently dated to the Iron Age, only some 2,500 year ago.

Based on: “Bertranpetit J, Cavalli-Sforza LL. A genetic reconstruction of the history of the population of the Iberian Peninsula. Ann Hum Genet 1991; 55:51-67.”

Objective: To highlight the clinical characteristics of primary biliary cholangitis on the basis of gender in terms of the extent of liver injury and extra-liver autoimmune expressions.
Methods: The retrospective study was conducted at the Tri-Service General Hospital, Taiwan, and comprised data of patients aged >20 years diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis between January 2000 and December 2018. Patients in the control group were randomly selected from the health examination centre. Liver injury manifestations and susceptibilities were analysed along gender lines. The gene expression microarray data from the National Centre for Biotechnology Information Gene Expression Omnibus database was also used to explore the relationship between autoimmune-induced inflammation and androgen response expression. Statistical analysis was done using Graph-Pad Prism 7.0.
Results: Of the 75 cases, 63(84%) were females with a mean age of 64.6±1.78 years, and 12(16%%) were males with a mean age of 46.6±5.6 years. Of the 66 controls, 55(83.3%) were females with a mean age of 51.67 years, and 11(16.6%) were males with a mean age of 45.9 years. There were no significant differences in terms of liver profiles related to gender in the control group (p>0.05). Among the cases, male patients showed fewer extrahepatic autoimmune disorders and more severe liver injuries before or after ursodeoxycholic acid treatment (p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between androgen receptor response and the extent of systemic inflammation (p<0.05).
Conclusion: The association between androgen receptor responses and inflammation was linked to gender-related hepatic injuries,
