Background: Potential complications of hemodynamic significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) after birth include heart failure, need for respiratory support, renal disfunction, intraventricular hemorrhage, as well as long term altered growth and development. Nevertheless, clinical signs of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are not sensitive and specific enough. Therefore, echocardiography still remains the preferred method to evaluate the ductal patency in preterm infant. The present study aimed to evaluate the echocardiography characteristic in preterm infant with hsPDA.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on preterm infants aged 3-7 days with 24-336/7 weeks of gestation. Data taken were demographic, clinical and echocardiography. Diagnosis of hsPDA was carried out by echocardiography; defined as >1.5mm diameter of ductus and >1.4 left pulmonal artery and aorta (La/Ao) ratio. The statistical analysis was undertaken using SPSS 21.0.Results: There were 11 out of 52 preterm infants diagnosed hsPDA. Mean birth weight was 1213±293 gram; Mean gestational age was 30.72±2.01 weeks. In hsPDA group, mean ductus diameter was 2.84±0.93 mm, mean La/Ao ratio was 1.56±0.26, and mean ejection fraction (EF) was 71.55±5.72%.Conclusion: Echocardiographic evaluation is important for addressing hsPDA in preterm infants.

Authors: Troy Fonda  , Usman Hadi
Published: December 2021

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a global concern. Globally, 36.7 million people are living with HIV and 1 million people died at the end of 2016. There is an association between human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with neurological manifestations. Between 1% and 5% of patients with HIV develop stroke. The pathogenesis of AIDS with stroke is still controversial. A 37-year-old male patient with AIDS had an embolic stroke. The diagnosis of the patient was based on clinical condition and the CT scan results of the head with contrast. The stroke-causing mechanism in patients is HIV-associated vasculopathy that results from accelerated atherosclerosis. After administration of antiplatelet and statin, the patient’s condition improves.

Published: December 2021

Background: vital capacity and its relationship with posture has previously been studied. Variances inposture has an effect on the inspiratory and expiratory pressures. Spirometry is the preferred choice formeasurement of vital capacities. Chronic deviations in posture could have long lasting effects on vitalcapacity. Physical therapists are prone to suffering long term musculoskeletal disorders, thus affirmingthe need to have screening protocols in place to prevent onset of such disorders.Methods: two hundred undergraduate physical therapy students were included in the study. Roundedshoulder posture was assessed using vernier calipers (in supine, distance between tip of shoulder andtable was measured). Forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volumes were assed using spirometry.Conclusions: significant differences were obtained in readings of forced vital capacity and forcedexpiratory volume between those with rounded shoulders and those without (p-value= 0.000 and 0.003respectively).Postural changes effect vital capacities. Undergraduate students should be educatedregarding proper postures, in order to prevent long term effects.
Hidden treasures uncovered: successful detection of fossils below the surface in large limestone blocks using a standard medical X-ray CT scanner
Authors: Prôa Miguel , Pouit Daniel , Rouillard Thomas , Vincent Peggy , Mellier Benoît
Published: December 2021

The use of CT scans in palaeontology has a long history. Most X-ray CT scans of fossils are carried out on previously prepared specimens and seldom on unprepared blocks of fossils. Here we report the use of a standard medical X-ray CT scanner to detect vertebrate and invertebrate fossils inside limestone blocks as an aid to subsequent preparation. The results were largely successful, with low-resolution images and radiodensity thresholds which nevertheless created sufficient contrast for identification of objects and their location inside blocks of limestone, thus optimizing the allocation of time and resources for palaeontological preparation. We conclude that the use of medical X-ray CT scanners for an initial visual inspection of limestone blocks for the presence of below the surface fossils is possible, cost effective and reliable. In addition, it allows the original raw data to be preserved as a digital object. The advantages of making use of standard medical X-ray CT scanners to facilitate palaeontological preparation under logistic or budgetary limitations is becoming more and more apparent.

Published: December 2021

Pingos have previously been recorded from East and West Greenland, but not from North Greenland. Two finds in Peary Land therefore extend their distribution far northwards. The pingos were collapsed, they have presumably been of the open-system type, because they are situated in the bottom of valleys. It is concluded that pingos occur very rarely in northernmost Canada and Greenland
Attempted predation and shell repair in Euomphalopterus (Gastropoda) from the Silurian of Gotland
Authors: Peel John S.
Published: December 2021

Two cases of shell breakage and subsequent repair are described in Euomphalopterus Roemer, 1876 from the Silurian of Gotland, Sweden. One specimen shows a single repaired injury. The second specimen shows repeated breakage and repair, with eventual loss of the prominent peripheral frill which is considered characteristic of the genus. Scalloped fracture margins comparable to those produced by the living cuttlefish Sepia suggest that the Silurian predators may also have been cephalopods.
Declaring a law unconstitutional through the legislative gap: the practice of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine
Authors: LAVRYK Pavlo , TKACHOVA Viktoriia
Published: December 2021

The paper draws attention to the changes that have taken place due to the second constitutional reform in Ukraine. The changes changed the organization and activities of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, the procedure for consideration of cases by the Court, decision-making and the powers of the Court. Attention is drawn to the topical question of whether the Court can declare its decision unconstitutional because of a gap in it, why human rights and freedoms are violated, because, as we know, the law can be violated not because of activities but also inaction. The main decisions of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine in any given issue are analyzed. It is stated that the position of the Court is outdated, as a result of which human rights and freedoms are violated. Practice shows that in Western countries, a minority are constitutional courts that do not review legislative gaps for constitutionality. The paper notes that the review of constitutional gaps may be introduced into the practice of the Constitutional Court in the near future. The conclusion emphasizes that by declaring the gaps unconstitutional, the Court is in fact forcing the parliament to break the deadlock and take certain actions to resolve the gap in the legislation, thus improving the quality of the Ukrainian legislation.
Recommendations for diagnosing the cash flows at the enterprise
Authors: HANAS Liubov , ADAMIV Marta
Published: December 2021

Introduction. The current stage of functioning of domestic business structures shows the exacerbation of the deficit of different types of resources for their activities. Today the solvency of a large number of businesses is particularly critical. In such circumstances, there is a need to find progressive and effective management tools and technologies that will provide comprehensive, accurate and timely information about the cash state of the enterprises in order to make adequate management decisions. In view of all the above, it can be argued that the diagnosis of cash flows of the enterprise is a necessary component of management in modern business conditions.
The purpose of the paper is to develop a unified and logically sound sequence of diagnosing cash flows of the enterprise.
Results. The results of the conducted research allowed to offer a unified sequence of diagnosing cash flows at the enterprise, which is based on the following stages: formation of information base for diagnosing cash flows; determining cash flows by type; estimating cash flows based on calculating indicators of uniformity, synchronicity, balance, liquidity, sufficiency; monitoring the diagnosis of cash flows and finding possible causes of deficiencies; development of recommendations to eliminate the shortcomings of diagnosing cash flows of the enterprise. It has been established that a number of principles should be taken into account when selecting diagnostic indicators, namely: purposefulness, dynamism, complexity, representativeness, efficiency, functionality, avoidance of mutual exclusion, interconnection. The main sources of information for diagnosing cash flows of the enterprise are various forms of financial and management statements, accounts, agreements and more.
Conclusions. The main advantages of the developed sequence of diagnosing cash flows at the enterprise is that it allows to evaluate the most representative indicators that determine the uniformity, synchronicity, balance, liquidity, cash flow adequacy and more. Based on the calculations, you can diagnose the state of cash flows and, if necessary, develop effective measures to eliminate identified discrepancies.

From Paramilitaries to Parliamentarians: Disaggregating Radical Right Wing Extremist Movements
Authors: Blazakis Jason , Clarke Colin
Published: December 2021

The global far right is extremely broad in nature and far from monolithic. While the “far right” is often used as an umbrella term, using the term runs the risk of over-simplifying the differences and linkages between white supremacist, anti-immigration, nativist, and other motivating ideologies. These beliefs and political platforms fall within the far-right rubric, and too often the phrase presents a more unified image of the phenomena than is really the case. In truth, the “far right” and the individual movements that comprise it are fragmented, consisting of a number of groups that lack established leadership and cohesion. Indeed, these movements include chauvinist religious organizations, neo-fascist street gangs, and paramilitary organs of established political parties. Although such movements largely lack the mass appeal of the interwar European radical right-wing extreme, they nevertheless can inspire both premeditated and spontaneous acts of violence against perceived enemies. This report is intended to provide policymakers, practitioners, and the academic community with a roadmap of ongoing shifts in the organizational structures and ideological currents of radical right-wing extremist movements, detailing the difference between distinct, yet often connected and interlaced echelons of the far right. In particular, the report identifies and analyzes various aspects of the broader far right and the assorted grievances it leverages to recruit, which is critical to gaining a more nuanced understanding of the potential future trajectory of these movements.
Augustine on the Economy of Angels
Authors: SHI Minmin
Published: December 2021

Angelology is a major theme in Augustine’s important works such as The City of God, The Literal Meaning of Genesis and Enchiridion. This essay explains Augustine’s theology of angelic economy from three perspectives -- creation, governance and kingdom. 1) The relationship between the angelic economy and the creation: it is here argued that the economic ability of the angels is originated in the intellectual intuition of God and of the creation, as, even prior to creation, angels had already stored the created in their minds as concepts; 2) The relationship between the angelic economy and governance is originated in the concept of “divine apparition.” Angels govern as God’s agents, but their governance is impersonal; 3) The relationship between the angelic economy and the kingdom is originated in the union between the holy angels and the holy people, which occurs in God’s will. In this union, Angels act as guides leading human beings to the kingdom of peace. This essay also points out that Augustine’s angelology is related to his three major theological principles, i.e. the theories of creation, governance and salvation.

Published: December 2021

Introduction Male and female sexual dysfunction is frequently found in patients with hypertension. Many studies indicate that this is found more frequently in patients treated with beta-blockers rather than due to hypertension itself; however, almost all studies have been done on male population. This study aims to study the effect of two commonly used beta-blockers on sexual function of a hypertensive female patient.
Methods This two-arm open-label randomized prospective study was conducted from April 1, 2019 to March 30, 2020 in a tertiary care hospital at Pakistan. One hundred and fifty participants randomized to group A were given nebivolol 5 mg once daily in addition to their current hypertensive treatment. Another 150 participants randomized to group B were given bisoprolol 5 mg once daily in addition to their hypertensive therapy. Sexual function was assessed on day 0 and day 90 using female sexual function index (FSFI).
Results The mean sexual score in the nebivolol group significantly improved after day 90 in comparison to day 0 (24.16 ± 2.1 vs. 26.91 ± 2.6; p-value < 0.0001), while no difference in sexual score in bisoprolol group after day 90 was observed (24.14 ± 2.1 vs. 24.12 ± 2.0; p-value = 0.91).
Conclusion In this study, nebivolol group was associated with a significant improvement in sexual function. This can be due to additional vasodilation properties and a low risk of sexual side effects associated with nebivolol.

Choosing the optimal antihypertensive therapy
Authors: Karpenko O. V.
Published: December 2021

The article considers approaches to the selection of optimal antihypertensive therapy in order to achieve the target blood pressure in patients with hypertension in accordance with the latest Recommendations on hypertension of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) and the European Society of Cardiology; ESC), as well as the circadian rhythm of blood pressure. Fixed combinations of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system blockers, which include angiotensin II receptor blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, with calcium antagonists should be preferred. Taking such a fixed combination at night can prevent the morning rise in blood pressure, when patients with hypertension usually have cardiovascular accidents.

Published: December 2021

This research presents procedures for determining the optimal solution of token exchanges platform for investors in Taiwan via integrating the best-worst method (BWM) and the technique for ordering preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS). Firstly, this research applies the modified Delphi method to develop the perspectives and factors via literature review and experts opinion. Secondly, the BWM is implemented to obtain weights of perspectives and factors on the linear programming concept. Thirdly, the TOPSIS model is used to rank the optimal solution of the token exchange for investors or corporations. Finally, the proposed model BWMTOPSIS-based procedures will list the optimal token exchanges platform on the three token exchange platforms to investors or corporations in Taiwan on the basis of their rankings in the architecture. The proposed combination framework is able to provide academic and commerce support to investors or corporations in implementing the token into their portfolio as a valuable objective guide to determine the optimal token exchange platform.
PlanetEvidence: Planet or Noise?
Authors: Golomb Jacob , Rocha Graça , Meshkat Tiffany , Bottom Michael , Mawet Dimitri , Mennesson Bertrand , Vasisht Gautam , Wang Jason
Published: December 2021

The work presented here attempts at answering the following question: how do we decide when a given detection is a planet or just residual noise in exoplanet direct imaging data? To this end we implement a metric meant to replace the empirical frequentist-based thresholds for detection. Our method, implemented within a Bayesian framework, introduces an “evidence-based” approach to help decide whether a given detection is a true planet or just noise. We apply this metric jointly with a postprocessing technique and Karhunen–Loeve Image Processing (KLIP), which models and subtracts the stellar PSF from the image. As a proof of concept we implemented a new routine named PlanetEvidence that integrates the nested sampling technique (Multinest) with the KLIP algorithm. This is a first step to recast such a postprocessing method into a fully Bayesian perspective. We test our approach on real direct imaging data, specifically using GPI data of β Pictoris b, and on synthetic data. We find that for the former the method strongly favors the presence of a planet (as expected) and recovers the true parameter posterior distributions. For the latter case our approach allows us to detect (true) dim sources invisible to the naked eye as real planets, rather than background noise, and set a new lower threshold for detection at ∼2.5σ level. Further it allows us to quantify our confidence that a given detection is a real planet and not just residual noise.

We report the early discovery and multicolor (BVI) high-cadence light-curve analyses of the rapidly declining sub-Chandrasekhar Type Ia supernova KSP-OT-201509b (= AT 2015cx) from the KMTNet Supernova Program. The Phillips and color stretch parameters of KSP-OT-201509b are ΔM

B,15 ≃ 1.62 mag and s

BV
≃ 0.54, respectively, at an inferred redshift of 0.072. These, together with other measured parameters (such as the strength of the secondary I-band peak, colors, and luminosity), identify the source to be a rapidly declining Type Ia of a transitional nature that is closer to Branch-normal than 91bg-like. Its early light-curve evolution and bolometric luminosity are consistent with those of homologously expanding ejecta powered by radioactive decay and a Type Ia SN explosion with 0.32 ± 0.01 M
⊙ of synthesized 56Ni mass, 0.84 ± 0.12 M
⊙ of ejecta mass, and (0.61 ± 0.14) × 1051 erg of ejecta kinetic energy. While its B − V and V − I colors evolve largely synchronously with the changes in the I-band light curve, as found in other supernovae, we also find the presence of an early redward evolution in V − I prior to −10 days since peak. The bolometric light curve of the source is compatible with a stratified 56Ni distribution extended to shallow layers of the exploding progenitor. Comparisons between the observed light curves and those predicted from ejecta–companion interactions clearly disfavor Roche lobe–filling companion stars at large separation distances, thus supporting a double-degenerate scenario for its origin. The lack of any apparent host galaxy in our deep stack images reaching a sensitivity limit of ∼28 mag arcsec−2 makes KSP-OT-201509b a hostless Type Ia supernova and offers new insights into supernova host galaxy environments.

Published: December 2021

Through the Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 citizen science project we discovered a late-type L dwarf co-moving with the young K0 star BD+60 1417 at a projected separation of 37″ or 1662 au. The secondary—CWISER J124332.12+600126.2 (W1243)—is detected in both the CatWISE2020 and 2MASS reject tables. The photometric distance and CatWISE proper motion both match that of the primary within ∼1σ and our estimates for a chance alignment yield a zero probability. Follow-up near-infrared spectroscopy reveals W1243 to be a very red 2MASS (J–K

s
= 2.72), low surface gravity source that we classify as L6–L8γ. Its spectral morphology strongly resembles that of confirmed late-type L dwarfs in 10–150 Myr moving groups as well as that of planetary mass companions. The position on near- and mid-infrared color–magnitude diagrams indicates the source is redder and fainter than the field sequence, a telltale sign of an object with thick clouds and a complex atmosphere. For the primary we obtained new optical spectroscopy and analyzed all available literature information for youth indicators. We conclude that the Li i abundance, its loci on color–magnitude and color–color diagrams, and the rotation rate revealed in multiple TESS sectors are all consistent with an age of 50–150 Myr. Using our re-evaluated age of the primary and the Gaia parallax, along with the photometry and spectrum for W1243, we find T
eff = 1303 ± 31 K, log g = 4.3 ± 0.17 cm s−2, and a mass of 15 ± 5 M
Jup. We find a physical separation of ∼1662 au and a mass ratio of ∼0.01 for this system. Placing it in the context of the diverse collection of binary stars, brown dwarfs, and planetary companions, the BD+60 1417 system falls in a sparsely sampled area where the formation pathway is difficult to assess.
Identifying Circumgalactic Medium Absorption in QSO Spectra: A Bayesian Approach
Authors: Scott Jennifer E. , Shoemaker Emileigh S. , Hamill Colin D.
Published: December 2021

We present a study of candidate galaxy–absorber pairs for 43 low-redshift QSO sightlines (0.06 < z < 0.85) observed with the Hubble Space Telescope/Cosmic Origins Spectrograph that lie within the footprint of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with a statistical approach to match absorbers with galaxies near the QSO lines of sight using only the SDSS Data Release 12 photometric data for the galaxies, including estimates of their redshifts. Our Bayesian methods combine the SDSS photometric information with measured properties of the circumgalactic medium to find the most probable galaxy match, if any, for each absorber in the line-of-sight QSO spectrum. We find ∼630 candidate galaxy–absorber pairs using two different statistics. The methods are able to reproduce pairs reported in the targeted spectroscopic studies upon which we base the statistics at a rate of 72%. The properties of the galaxies comprising the candidate pairs have median redshift, luminosity, and stellar mass, all estimated from the photometric data, z = 0.13, L = 0.1L

. The median impact parameter of the candidate pairs is ∼430 kpc, or ∼3.5 times the galaxy virial radius. The results are broadly consistent with the high Lyα covering fraction out to this radius found in previous studies. This method of matching absorbers and galaxies can be used to prioritize targets for spectroscopic studies, and we present specific examples of promising systems for such follow-up.

Authors: Eichler Jan
Published: December 2021

The article is about the revolt of French soldiers against the failing immigration policy of their country. It explains its rational causes at the historical, geopolitical as well as security levels. It analyses its three main acts since 2013 until today and presents their key actors: the high level generals and politicians. These acts are presented as historical accidents. The article shows that French soldiers refuse to be silent face to face big stakes, especially on the field of defence of the Republic against the growing violence of young immigrants. The text continues with the analysis of two manifests of French soldiers from spring 2021 that evoke the threat of the civil war in France and the role of the Armed forces in such a scenario.

Edwardsianthus England, 1987 is a genus of Edwardsiidae, a family of burrowing and worm-like sea anemones characterized by lacking four mesenteries in the first cycle and containing only one type of nematocysts in nemathybomes. Until now, this genus has accommodated only two species since its establishment and has been recorded only from Indo-West Pacific regions. In this study, six species are reported from Japan: two are previously known species, E. pudicus (Klunzinger, 1877) and E. gilbertensis (Carlgren, 1931); four are new species, E. carbunculussp. nov., E. sapphirussp. nov., E. smaragdussp. nov., and E. amethystussp. nov. Based on these results, the diagnostic features of the genus are revised.
Discovery of the genus Platycotylus Olliff, 1883 (Coleoptera, Tenebrionidae) in Japan: Description of a new and remarkable species
Authors: Yoshida Takahiro , Ando Kiyoshi
Published: December 2021

The genus Platycotylus Olliff, 1883 (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) is recorded from Japan (Nakanoshima Island, Tokara Islands) for the first time, through the discovery of a new and remarkable species, Platycotylus merklisp. nov., which is described herein. The male of this new species can be distinguished from all known males of other congeneric species by its long and asymmetrical epistomal horn. Although this new species is most similar to Platycotylus parvicollis (Pic, 1923), for which a male has not been examined, it can be distinguished from this species by its simple sparse pronotal punctation, smaller eyes, and acutely produced temples.
Le Père, figure du Tiers
Authors: Spoljar Philippe
Published: December 2021

Cet article propose d’analyser l’« office » du Père, au regard de son effondrement contemporain, sur un double registre psychologique et anthropologique. Sa position de tiers permettait d’exercer sa fonction d’intercession avec l’Autre (l’Ancêtre, la Raison, le Totem, Dieu…), en mettant en échec la pulsionnalité narcissique exprimée dans la position de toute-puissance infantile. L’hypothèse est posée que l’abolition du Père comme institution peut être corrélée au phénomène d’affaiblissement des étayages narcissiques sur des objets sociaux stables. Dans l’organisation sociale et psychique, nous passons ainsi de la figure tutélaire d’Œdipe et son organisation ternaire, à celle de Narcisse et sa logique duelle.
Inceste dans la fratrie
Authors: Razon Laure
Published: December 2021

L’inceste frères-sœurs s’enracine dans une défaillance des fonctions parentales, principalement paternelles. De ce fait, la violence infiltre progressivement au fil des générations les liens constituant la structure familiale. L’une des conséquences est une fragilité narcissique importante chez ces enfants, une fragilité contrariant l’accès à la triangulation œdipienne. Nous posons l’hypothèse que l’acte incestueux du fils-agresseur est l’écho d’un fantasme incestueux présent chez le père. « L’incestuel » du père s’exprime par le legs d’une place privilégiée pour l’un des enfants. L’enfant existant du côté d’un incestuel chez le père devient celui à détruire pour les frères-agresseurs, car ils se sentent exclus d’un lien père-fils. À cela s’associe le « meurtriel » du père envers les fils. Le meurtriel et l’incestuel du père, référés à des interdits non symbolisables, sont entendus chez les enfants. L’acte incestueux serait alors une variante de parricide.
Contribution au déploiement de la psychanalyse multifamiliale en France
Authors: Rabain Nicolas
Published: December 2021

À partir de sa formation à la psychanalyse multifamiliale à Buenos Aires ainsi que sa découverte des travaux de García Badaracco, l’auteur montre comment il a mis en place à Paris un groupe analytique multifamilial pionnier à l’attention d’adolescents en proie aux addictions. Selon lui, cette prise en charge méconnue en France contribuerait à un travail d’élaboration tant à l’échelle individuelle que familiale auprès de patients initialement réfractaires aux soins psychiques.
L’adolescence : une manière de se défaire tout en se faisant
Authors: Gonzalès Jean-Pierre
Published: December 2021

À partir de l’exemple d’une situation de thérapie familiale psychanalytique, l’auteur montre le poids du secret familial transgénérationnel comme facteur désorganisateur et inhibiteur du processus de séparation psychique et réelle de l’adolescent d’avec sa famille. L’infantile des parents figé et fixé, en l’occurrence par le secret du père, se déploie à travers le processus thérapeutique (transfert du groupe familial et contre-transfert de l’analyste) jusqu’à retrouver une dynamique créatrice. Ainsi, la reprise élaborative des « messages énigmatiques » par la libre circulation fantasmatique familiale retrouvée, redonne sécurité, et réorganise l’espace familial groupal, la place et le rôle de chacun.
Père et fils : la consultation familiale, un lieu pour une rencontre ?
Authors: Maurin Souvignet Aurélie
Published: December 2021

À partir de trois situations cliniques, et de l’analyse de leurs destins singuliers, cet article tentera d’appréhender le processus transférentiel complexe, mêlant transfert sur le cadre, sur le lien, sur l’autre et sur son récit, qui s’actualise dans la rencontre avec le psychologue consultant en centre de soin (CMPP). L’auteure s’attachera en particulier à ce qui se joue entre père et fils, en présence d’un Tiers. L’hypothèse selon laquelle la consultation rend possible la convocation d’imagos à la fois anciennes et nouvelles structurant la relation avec l’autre de même sexe mais de génération différente sera privilégiée.
Comment la compétition États-Unis/Chine redéfinit la relation transatlantique
Authors: de Hoop Scheffer Alexandra , Quencez Martin
Published: December 2021

L’alliance AUKUS dévoilée cet été confirme la bascule des intérêts géostratégiques de Washington vers l’Asie avec la confirmation de la compétition avec la Chine. Cela oblige à redéfinir la relation transatlantique et incite les Européens à réfléchir collectivement à leur souveraineté et à leur autonomie.
La préservation de la nature est-elle (néo)coloniale ? L’invention des parcs nationaux en Afrique
Authors: Blanc Guillaume
Published: December 2021

Alors qu’en Europe, les institutions internationales de conservation de la nature cherchent à résoudre la crise écologique en soutenant les populations des territoires concernés, elles s’efforcent en Afrique de naturaliser les lieux en les déshumanisant. Les agriculteurs et les bergers qui vivent dans les parcs nationaux africains sont pénalisés, expulsés, voire emprisonnés pour occuper ces espaces, au nom de la protection de la nature. Né de l’époque coloniale, le mythe de l’Éden africain continue ainsi d’alimenter la conception d’une Afrique naturelle mais dénaturée par les Africains. Justifiant l’intervention de l’expertise occidentale, il fait l’impasse sur la véritable cause de la destruction de la nature : un mode de vie fondé sur l’exploitation massive des ressources, émanant d’abord, hier comme aujourd’hui, de l’Occident.
Making a Difference With Mental Health During Adolescence in a Global Pandemic
Authors: Plax Katie
Published: December 2021

Anxiety and depression are common in adolescence and have increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. The isolation from shutdowns and loss of school, loved ones, and typical activities left many children and youth with increased mental health needs. Standardized mental health screening, diagnosis, and treatment with close follow-up care can be done within the framework of the medical home, which is accessible to patients and caregivers. Best practices and a decision tree, a decision support tool, are offered to help meet the growing need. Even with current longer wait times for therapists and psychiatry provider shortages, teenagers and families can be helped in meaningful ways to achieve remission, recovery, and well-being.

Dynamics for the 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with double time delays and damping
Authors: Shi Wei , Cui Xiaona , Li Xuezhi , Yang Xin-Guang
Published: December 2021

This paper is concerned with the tempered pullback attractors for 3D incompressible Navier-Stokes model with a double time-delays and a damping term. The delays are in the convective term and external force, which originate from the control in engineer and application. Based on the existence of weak and strong solutions for three dimensional hydrodynamical model with subcritical nonlinearity, we proved the existence of minimal family for pullback attractors with respect to tempered universes for the non-autonomous dynamical systems.
Stability and optimal control of a delayed HIV/AIDS-PrEP model
Authors: Silva Cristiana J.
Published: December 2021

In this paper, we propose a time-delayed HIV/AIDS-PrEP model which takes into account the delay on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) distribution and adherence by uninfected persons that are in high risk of HIV infection, and analyze the impact of this delay on the number of individuals with HIV infection. We prove the existence and stability of two equilibrium points, for any positive time delay. After, an optimal control problem with state and control delays is proposed and analyzed, where the aim is to find the optimal strategy for PrEP implementation that minimizes the number of individuals with HIV infection, with minimal costs. Different scenarios are studied, for which the solutions derived from the Minimum Principle for Multiple Delayed Optimal Control Problems change depending on the values of the time delays and the weights constants associated with the number of HIV infected individuals and PrEP. We observe that changes on the weights constants can lead to a passage from bang-singular-bang to bang-bang extremal controls.
Periodic measures of reaction-diffusion lattice systems driven by superlinear noise
Authors: Lin Yusen
Published: December 2021

The periodic measures are investigated for a class of reaction-diffusion lattice systems driven by superlinear noise defined on $ \mathbb Z^k $. The existence of periodic measures for the lattice systems is established in $ l^2 $ by Krylov-Bogolyubov's method. The idea of uniform estimates on the tails of solutions is employed to establish the tightness of a family of distribution laws of the solutions.
“To Act or Not to Act”: Arendt, Hegel, and Shakespeare on Action
Authors: Komel Mirt
Published: December 2021

The contribution links three unusually connected suspects in order to tackle the question of human action, which is eminently at stake not only in the realms of politics and in the field of history, but also in philosophy, and, as a peculiar link between the two, theatre, namely: Hannah Arendt (Human Condition), G.W.F. Hegel (Phenomenology of Spirit), and William Shakespeare (Hamlet). And In order to connect all three authors and their respective fields of philosophy, politics, and theatre as regards the particular issue of action, the starting point will be the figure of Achilles as portrayed in Homer’s Iliad.
Towards Biopolitics beyond Life and Death: The Virus, Life, and Death
Authors: Čerkez Toni , Gramc Martin
Published: December 2021

By engaging with Giorgio Agamben’s article on the Italian government’s measures during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, we argue that COVID-19 points to the limits of the classical biopolitical and thanatopolitical logics of analysis and therefore requires a new conceptual framework. The outbreak of COVID-19 is an example of zoonotic globalisation in which the human species as a biological and geological actor is merely one among many other species that influence biological and geological processes on Earth, thus challenging humanist conceptualisations of politics. Here, the human role in politics is decentralised by thinking the virus as one of the actors that exert influence on how the political sphere is governed. We argue that the virus is the epitome of the ungovernable – an entity or broadly a historical challenge that cannot be subjected to existing mode(s) of governing – due to its interstitial and borderline character, resting between the ontological roots of the dominant modes of governing bios (life) and geos (nonlife), and challenging them by merely existing. We draw upon the works of Ghassan Hage, Nils Bubandt, Elizabeth Povinelli, and Donna Haraway to interrogate the limits of biopolitics and diagnose theoretical conundrums stemming from the division of nature vs. culture and life vs. nonlife entrenched in the existing social-political paradigms. Rather than providing finite answers about the role of the virus as a non-human actor in the political sphere, we raise questions as to how and why it should matter.
Del ensayo literario al ensayo audiovisual: correspondencias y estrategias
Authors: Cruz Carvajal Isleny
Published: December 2021

Este artículo refleja el estado de la cuestión de las correspondencias conceptuales, formales, lingüísticas y sociopolíticas del ensayo fílmico / audiovisual respecto a los cánones del ensayo literario. Resume los aportes teóricos esenciales en ambos campos. La exploración descifra cómo unos patrones de base permanecen idénticos por compartir una misma raíz en la experiencia reflexionada por el sujeto, pero su traslación al medio audiovisual, aun manteniendo una indudable convivencia de equivalencias, da cuenta de diferencias lingüísticas relativas a las propiedades de un dispositivo complejo, también determinantes para la evidencia mayor o menor de unos rasgos dados. Aunque las nuevas tecnologías ponen en alza la manifestación de la subjetividad, faltan estudios orientados hacia la incidencia de estas sobre la construcción del texto ensayístico y sus efectos sociales. Como efecto de este vacío, las referencias canónicas para analizar las correspondencias entre ambas manifestaciones no parecen contemplar experiencias de cinematografías periféricas ni profundizar en prácticas experimentales que dieran respuesta a lo anterior.
