Les « corps perdus » de Mettray
Authors: Bendhif-Syllas Myriam
Published: December 2023

A partir des ouvrages respectifs de Jean Genet, Raoul Léger et Jean-Guy Le Dano, cette étude cherche à définir la représentation littéraire du corps enfantin et adolescent des « colons » de Mettray (colonie agricole et pénitentiaire, dans les années 1920). Malgré le statut différent de ces trois textes et les divergences des témoignages, un dessin précis de ces corps meurtris se dégage. En effet, le corps des colons est en avant tout un corps que l’on cherche à modeler, à façonner selon une norme propre à le rendre acceptable par la société. A grand renfort d’activités harassantes et de violences permanentes, il s’agit de mater les corps afin de mieux dominer les esprits indisciplinés de ces jeunes « pécheurs ». Privés d’hygiène et de nourriture, les colons tentent de résister à l’Institution et font de leur corps le seul lieu où exprimer individualité et liberté propres. Ils fondent une véritable communauté parallèle dont les postures, les accessoires et les tatouages constituent les signes distinctifs. Cependant l’égalité n’est pas de mise : une hiérarchie interne très stricte est instaurée, produisant de nouvelles violences, en particulier sexuelles, et par conséquent un nouveau marquage des corps. A travers cette représentation du corps délinquant, lit-on déjà inéluctablement celle du criminel endurci ?
« Une véritable frénésie de jouissance… »
Authors: François Aurore
Published: December 2023

Répondant à un double souci de sécurité et de prophylaxie vénérienne, les armées d’occupation ont, durant les deux conflits mondiaux, prêté une attention non négligeable au phénomène prostitutionnel. Contrôler la prostitution par le rétablissement, en territoires occupés, d’une réglementation stricte, c’était non seulement répondre à ce double péril générateur d’angoisse, mais également intervenir de manière étroite dans la vie sexuelle des soldats et leurs rapports avec la population (féminine) occupée.Durant la première puis la deuxième occupation du territoire belge, le contrôle de la prostitution, traditionnellement dévolu aux autorités locales, est devenu une matière incontournable dans les rapports entre autorités occupantes et occupées, les prostituées mineures d’âge constituant un enjeu à part. Depuis le vote, en 1912, de la loi belge sur la protection de l’enfance, la prostitution des mineures et plus largement leur sexualité ont intégré les rangs de tous ces comportements échappant au champ pénal traditionnel, vis-à-vis desquels les professionnels de la protection de l’enfance pouvaient désormais intervenir. À travers le cas précis du traitement judiciaire réservé aux jeunes belges qui se prostituent ou entretiennent des relations sexuelles avec des militaires allemands durant la deuxième guerre mondiale, cette contribution propose d’examiner les pratiques et les représentations qui émergent autour de ces jeunes filles, en ces périodes troublées où le modèle social et moral de protection de l’enfance se colore de patriotisme.
Des psychiatres et des enfants : une histoire belge autour du congrès de 1937
Authors: Majerus Benoît , Massin Veerle
Published: December 2023

La participation d’une délégation belge au premier congrès international de Psychiatrie infantile à Paris en 1937 s’inscrit dans une histoire paradoxale. De prime abord, la psychiatrie infantile n’existe pas encore comme champs disciplinaire, notamment à cause d’une absence d’institutions spécifiques. Mais des savoirs psychiatriques dispersés ont néanmoins été élaborés dans la première moitié du xxe siècle dans deux domaines : d’un côté auprès des enfants « arriérés », d’un autre côté auprès des enfants délinquants.
De Perray-Vaucluse à La Jemmerais
Authors: Klein Alexandre
Published: December 2023

Pendant les dix années qu’il passa, entre 1920 et 1930, à la tête de la colonie pour enfants arriérés de l’asile de Perray-Vaucluse, le psychiatre Théodore Simon (1873-1961) œuvra à renouveler les modalités de prise en charge de ses jeunes pensionnaires. S’inspirant des travaux psychopédagogiques réalisés au début du siècle avec son mentor le psychologue Alfred Binet (1857-1911), il imposa en particulier l’évaluation scolaire et psychologique régulière des enfants afin de déterminer tant leur capacité d’apprentissage que le rendement de la formation qui leur était offerte. Il développa ainsi un modèle original d’accompagnement des enfants anormaux organisé autour de la pédagogie expérimentale. Ce dernier inspira notamment l’organisation de la première institution pour anormaux éducables du Québec, l’École La Jemmerais ouverte en 1928 et dirigée par l’un de ses élèves, le psychiatre québécois Jean-Charles Miller (1898-1952). C’est sur l’histoire de ce modèle et de sa transmission transatlantique que cet article revient.
La « fabrique » des garçons
Authors: Revenin Régis
Published: December 2023

Cet article restitue certains aspects des parcours biographiques de jeunes garçons hétérosexuels dans le Paris populaire des années 1960, autour de quelques thématiques précises : définitions de soi et identités, flirts, « première fois », violences de genre, etc. Il cherche aussi à susciter des recherches historiques sur les jeunes hétérosexuels à partir de matériaux inédits, comme les archives judiciaires, largement mobilisées dans cet article, et qui se révèlent particulièrement heuristiques pour les travaux sur l’hétérosexualité, sujet encore peu étudié.
Retour sur l’affaire Bladier. Le crime, la confession, la céphalophorie
Authors: Boutry Philippe
Published: December 2023

Le livre publié par Philippe Artières en 2020 sous le titre Un séminariste assassin. L’Affaire Bladier, 1905 retrace et analyse avec une rare acuité un meurtre atroce commis dans le Cantal l’année de la séparation des Églises et de l’État : le 1 er  septembre 1905, au village de Raulhac Jean-Marie Bladier, dix-sept ans, élève du petit séminaire de Saint-Flour, tue à coup de couteau Jean Raulnay, treize ans, lui coupe la tête qu’il élève vers le ciel ; puis il se livre aux gendarmes. Il est examiné à Lyon par le docteur Alexandre Lacassagne qui lui fait rédiger son autobiographie et reconnaît son irresponsabilité pénale. À l’occasion d’une relecture, on entend ici revenir sur quatre thèmes majeurs de l’analyse historique du cas Bladier : l’histoire rurale ; l’histoire de l’éducation ; l’histoire du sacrement de confession ; et la symbolique de la céphalophorie.
La terreur suscitée par un virus : étude de REC de Jaume Balagueró et Paco Plaza (2007, 2009)
Authors: Picod Claire
Published: December 2023

Dans une démarche particulièrement novatrice, le film espagnol REC de Jaume Balagueró et de Paco Plaza (2007, 2009) laisse entrevoir l’horreur des épidémies à travers la propagation d’un virus mortel dans un lieu clos. Le concept du film, qui revêt la forme d’un reportage, consiste à placer le spectateur au centre du récit, la caméra étant à la fois témoin de l’action et personnage du film et nous conduisant à partager l’angoisse et le sentiment de panique des personnages, face au virus lui-même, mais aussi face au confinement subi.
How do I perceive my disabled colleague who benefits from a job accommodation?
Authors: Pantaléon Nathalie , Queiroga Fabiana , Burzotta Morgane , Bertolino Marilena
Published: December 2023

S’appuyant sur les modèles conceptuels de Stone et Colella (1996) et Colella (2001), notre recherche porte sur l’inclusion professionnelle des personnes en situation de handicap dans le secteur de la santé. Nous nous sommes intéressés à la manière dont les professionnels de santé percevaient leurs collègues en situation de handicap. Dans une première étude, nous avons évalué si le type de déficiences (motrice vs. auditive vs. mentale) avait une influence sur les perceptions de compétences, de perturbation et de contrôle. Dans une seconde étude, outre le type de déficiences, nous avons évalué l’influence de l’aménagement du poste de travail sur les perceptions sociales (compétences, perturbation) et sur un aspect de la justice distributive qui est le salaire. Les résultats ont montré que le type de déficiences avait une influence sur les perceptions des professionnels de santé. Ces derniers perçoivent de manière plus positive un collègue ayant une déficience auditive qu’un collègue ayant une déficience physique et qu’un collègue ayant une déficience mentale. En outre, la présence d’un aménagement de poste de travail est perçue négativement, en particulier pour les personnes ayant des troubles psychiques.
Influence of folic acid knowledge on effective folic acid intake in Chinese pregnant women: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Jin You Jing , Kim Hae Won
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the current status of effective folic acid intake and the level of folic acid knowledge of Chinese pregnant women and to analyze the relationship between effective folic acid intake and folic acid knowledge.Methods: From November 2021 to May 2022, 140 pregnant women at Yantai Yuhuangding Hospital in the Chinese province of Shandong, answered questions about their general characteristics, folic acid intake, and folic acid knowledge. The data were analyzed using the t-test, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis, and were presented with frequency with percentage or mean±standard deviation.Results: Only 16.4% of the pregnant women (n=23) took folic acid effectively, using the following four criteria. Of all pregnant women who took folic acid, 72.2% took folic acid starting 1 month before pregnancy, 70.8% took folic acid up to 3 months after pregnancy, 36.8% took 400 μg every time, and 78.6% took folic acid more than 24 days every month. The score for folic acid knowledge was relatively high (5.61±2.18 on a scale of 0–9). A higher folic acid knowledge score correlated with more effective folic acid intake (t=4.10, p<.001).Conclusions: Our study shows that the current recommendations to prevent neural tube defects through effective folic acid intake supplementation are not being fully implemented in China. Furthermore, folic acid knowledge was positively correlated with the effectiveness of its intake. Future education related to effective folic acid intake should emphasize the four methods of effective folic acid intake, especially regarding the recommended dose of 400 μg every time.
Factors influencing health-related quality of life in older adult women with sarcopenia: analysis of the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2019
Authors: Lee Sol Hyun , Nho Ju-Hee , Kim Hye Young , Lee Eun Jee
Published: December 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors influencing the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of older adult women with sarcopenia.Methods: The study was secondary data analysis using data from the 2019 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The final sample consisted of 142 women aged 60 years and older with sarcopenia and were selected from 8,110 women. The participants was analyzed using complex descriptive statistics, independent t-test, and regression.Results: In terms of HRQoL, three general characteristics were found to be influential, with an explanatory power of 56.0%: difficulty climbing stairs, difficulty working, and perceived health status. Having no or mild difficulty when climbing stairs (B=.20, p=.001; B=.21, p<.001) and no or mild difficulty when working (B=.25, p=. 002; B=.208, p=.013) had a significant effect on HRQoL compared to severe difficulty. Having good or ordinary perceived health status had a significant effect on the HRQoL (B=.11, p<.001; B=.09, p<.001).Conclusion: Based on study findings that the HRQoL of older adult women with sarcopenia were influenced by difficulty climbing stairs and working, as well as good perceived health status, healthcare providers should assist elderly women to maintain physical activities in their daily lives.
The relationship between epistemic stance, mentalizing, paranoid distress and conspiracy mentality: an empirical investigation
Authors: Hauschild Sophie , Kasper Lea A. , Berning Anna , Taubner Svenja
Published: December 2023

Epistemic stance, comprising epistemic trust, mistrust, and credulity, and the closely related construct of mentalizing have been related to paranoid ideation and conspiracy mentality. All phenomena are common in the general population and may become clinically and societally relevant at an extreme expression by influencing an individual’s positioning towards socially transmitted information possibly as far as complete social detachment or attachment to extremist views. Herein, an individual’s experienced distress may play an important role, which has however largely been neglected in empirical research. Thus, this study aims to empirically investigate the effect of epistemic stance on a clinically relevant aspect of paranoid ideation, namely paranoid distress. We assume that epistemic stance will be associated with paranoid distress, but that this association will be mediated by mentalizing. Moreover, we assume that epistemic stance will be indirectly associated with conspiracy thinking via paranoid distress. Data of 595 participants (mean age = 43.05; SD = 13.87; female = 48.32%, male = 51.18%, diverse = 0.51%) were collected via self-report questionnaires through an online-based cross-sectional study. Structural equation modeling was performed for data analysis. As expected, epistemic mistrust was associated with paranoid distress via mentalizing deficits. Unexpectedly, epistemic trust was associated with more paranoid distress. Indirectly, epistemic trust was associated with conspiracy mentality via paranoid distress. Findings partially confirmed the hypothesized associations. Mentalizing may be a target for reducing distress associated with a distrusting epistemic stance. Epistemically trusting individuals with high paranoid distress may turn to conspiracy theories for regulation.

Authors: Surendran Yocyny , Nandikha Mahalingam , Amin-Nordin Syafinaz , Dhanda Sandeep Kumar , Ali Mohamad Ridhuan Mohd , Joseph Narcisse MS
Published: December 2023

Objective:

To assess the efficacy of various types of vaccines developed for leptospirosis.

Methods:

A comprehensive search was conducted in three databases: PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library. Two authors (YS and MN) selected the articles based on manual screening. The study eligibility criteria are all Leptospira species regardless of any cluster (pathogenic, intermediate and non-pathogenic). This study recorded articles with positive and negative results and showed a comparison among various membrane proteins as vaccine candidates. The studies on the effectiveness of outer membrane protein as vaccine candidates were also included. The articles obtained in the databases were imported into the WPS spreadsheet, and duplicate documents were removed manually.

Results:

A total of 24 studies were included in the review, which evaluated various types of leptospirosis vaccines. Multiple vaccines were developed and tested; however, the heterogeneity of Leptospira species pose a challenge. As an effective approach, an epitope based vaccine shows quite a promising result. However, sufficient validation, testing and clinical trials are required.

Conclusions:

Developing an effective vaccine for leptospirosis remains a global health priority. While significant progress has been made in recent years, there is a need for further research to optimize vaccine development and to ensure that vaccines are accessible and effective for high-risk populations.
Converging Pathways: Exploring the Interplay of Malnutrition, Sarcopenia, and Frailty in Nursing Home Residents: A Cross-sectional Study
Authors: Yogesh M , Ram Rohitkumar , Patel Monika , Makwana Naresh
Published: December 2023

Background:

Within the context of nursing home care, malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty stand as notable conditions, each exerting distinct yet interconnected impacts on residents’ well-being. The objective of this cross-sectional study is to elucidate the intricate interplay among malnutrition, sarcopenia, and frailty among nursing home residents.

Methodology:

It is a community-based, cross-sectional, descriptive study among nursing home residents of Vatsalyadham Vrudhsharam, which is an institution for aged old-age people in Jamnagar from April 2023 to July 2023. The estimated minimum sample size was 345. A self-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data containing sociodemographic characteristics, anthropometric assessment, and bio-impedance indices. The handgrip was measured by a hand dynamometer. Assessment of the risk of malnutrition was performed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form questionnaire and was confirmed by the Global Leadership Initiative for Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria. Sarcopenia was assessed by a bio-impedance analyzer using the Asian Working Group of Sarcopenia 2019. Frailty was assessed using the fatigue, resistance, ambulation, illness, and loss (FRAIL) screener. Descriptive statistics were used for the representation of percentages and frequencies. Both Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were used for the association. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant, respectively.

Results:

About 345 participants were included, and mean age of the participants was 85 ± 5.6 years, about 159 (49%) participants belonged to the age group of more than 80 years, 220 (63.7%) were males, then malnutrition was diagnosed by GLIM criteria, about 154 (44.6%) were found to have malnutrition. Sarcopenia was found in 184 (53%) participants. The FRAIL screening was used to identify frailty, according to that prefrail was around 170 (49%) and frail was about 122 (35%), respectively. Age, gender, and history of falls were associated with frailty and sarcopenia (P < 0.001). Only, age and gender were associated with malnutrition but not a history of falls.

Conclusion:

The findings of this study suggest that frailty, sarcopenia, and malnutrition are prevalent among nursing home residents. Health-care providers should identify and manage these conditions in older adults to improve their quality of life.

Authors: Nayak Sonali Susmita , Dutta Anupurva , Khedkar Rutvij , Roy Sabyasachi
Published: December 2023

Aim:

Many developments in cervical cancer screening have happened in the past century, helping women in earlier detection of cervical cancer and its precursors. Cytology still holds the fort as being a specific test, though it suffers in sensitivity. As a part of the quality control program, the aim of the study is to determine the total number of abnormal liquid-based cervical cytology (LBC) at our center and correlate the abnormal LBC with histology and human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA test results.

Method:

Retrospective analysis of 4286 LBC screening cases was carried out over a period of 5 years. For cytology–histology correlation, cervical biopsy and cytology test results were analyzed. The two-tier grading system for biopsy interpretation was used. HPV DNA test results wherever available were correlated.

Results:

Of the 4286 LBC cases, 157 samples (3.7%) were unsatisfactory for evaluation, 3915 samples (91.3%) were negative for intra-epithelial lesion or malignancy, and 214 samples (5%) showed epithelial cell abnormality. ASC-US was reported in 60 cases (1.4%), ASC-H in 35 cases (0.8%), LSIL in 47 cases (1.1%), HSIL in 41 cases (1.0%), squamous cell carcinoma in a single case (0.02%), and atypical glandular cells in 30 cases (0.7%). The ASC/SIL ratio was 1.07:1. The CHC major discrepancy was calculated as 16.2%. The concordance of HSIL on cytology and biopsy as a measure of PPV is 94.4%. Of the epithelial cell abnormalities, 24 cases were positive for high-risk HPV (hrHPV). Molecular test results of 2737 samples showed HPV detected in 50 cases, of which 24 cases were positive for hrHPV.

Conclusion:

The study helped us to analyze the quality parameters of our cytopathology laboratory which are within the acceptable limits.
Diagnosis of Infarcted Breast Lesions on FNAC, a Blustering Fool: Short Case Series
Authors: Chaudhari Sachin R. , Meshram Nisha B. , Bhatkule Milind A. , Gadkari Rasika U.
Published: December 2023

Introduction:

Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is often used as a screening tool. Cytopathologist should be aware of various mimickers of the malignancy. One of these is infarction of benign breast lesions. Careful examination of cytomorphological features will avoid the misdiagnosis of malignancy in such cases.

Material and Methods:

Six cases were diagnosed as benign breast lesion for 4 years and 5 months in our newly established tertiary referral center. Histopathology follow-up was available in one case.

Results:

Of six cases, three cases (50%) were reported as fibroadenoma with infarction, two cases (33%) as benign breast lesion with infarction favor fibroadenoma, and one as breast lesion with infarction favor phyllodes tumor in view of recurrence. Most were in the second or third decade of their life. All cases showed dyscohesive cells with pyknotic nuclei. Monolayered sheets of necrotic cells were seen in the four cases (66%). Viable cells were seen in four cases.

Conclusions:

FNAC provides a rapid and accurate diagnosis of benign breast lesions with infarction in the hands of experienced pathologists who can help in better patient care. Small-sized uniform pyknotic nuclei of dyscohesive cells and regular nuclear membranes help to differentiate them from inflammatory and malignant lesions.

OBJECTIVES: Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is particularly fatal condition. We evaluated the incidence and case fatality rates of AMI in Korea from 2011 to 2020.METHODS: We utilized data from the National Health Insurance Services to calculate crude, age-standardized, and age-specific incidence rates, along with 30-day and 1-year case fatality rates, of AMI from 2011 to 2020. Age-standardized incidence rates were determined using direct standardization to the 2005 population.RESULTS: The crude incidence rate of AMI per 100,000 person-years consistently increased from 44.7 in 2011 to 68.3 in 2019, before decreasing slightly to 66.2 in 2020. The age-standardized incidence rate of AMI displayed a 19% rise from 2011 to 2019, followed by a slight decline in 2020. The increasing trend for AMI incidence was more pronounced in males than in females. Both 30-day and 1-year case fatality rates remained stable among younger individuals but showed a decrease among older individuals. There was a minor surge in case fatality in 2020, particularly among recurrent AMI cases.CONCLUSIONS: Over the past decade, the AMI incidence rate in Korea has consistently increased, with a slight downturn in 2020. The case fatality rate has remained relatively stable except for a minor increase in 2020. This study provides data for continuous surveillance, the implementation of targeted interventions, and the advancement of research aimed at AMI in Korea.

Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVES: Stroke remains the second leading cause of death in Korea. This study was designed to estimate the crude, age-adjusted and age-specific incidence rates, as well as the case fatality rate of stroke, in Korea from 2011 to 2020.METHODS: We utilized data from the National Health Insurance Services from January 1, 2002 to December 31, 2020, to calculate incidence rates and 30-day and 1-year case fatality rates of stroke. Additionally, we determined sex and age-specific incidence rates and computed age-standardized incidence rates by direct standardization to the 2005 population.RESULTS: The crude incidence rate of stroke hovered around 200 (per 100,000 person-years) from 2011 to 2015, then surged to 218.4 in 2019, before marginally declining to 208.0 in 2020. Conversely, the age-standardized incidence rate consistently decreased by 25% between 2011 and 2020. When stratified by sex, the crude incidence rate increased between 2011 and 2019 for both sexes, followed by a decrease in 2020. Age-standardized incidence rates displayed a downward trend throughout the study period for both sexes. Across all age groups, the 30-day and 1-year case fatality rates of stroke consistently decreased from 2011 to 2019, only to increase in 2020.CONCLUSIONS: Despite a decrease in the age-standardized incidence rate, the total number of stroke events in Korea continues to rise due to the rapidly aging population. Moreover, 2020 witnessed a decrease in incidence but an increase in case fatality rates.
Design and evaluation of a serious game for teaching nanotechnologies in pharmacy education
Authors: Meeus Amélie , Sapin-Minet Anne , Parent Marianne
Published: December 2023

Introduction: A serious game was implemented and evaluated to consolidate the knowledge of third-year pharmacy students about drug vectorisation systems.
Methods: After a lecture on nanotechnology in health, students were immersed in a magical world for the one-and-a-half-hour tutorial: to complete their mission, they had to pick the right cards and solve puzzles within a limited time. Then, in debriefing, all the key concepts were recalled and explained according to their metaphorical counterparts, i.e. the puzzles. Feedback from the beta-test in 2021 (n=112) helped to optimise the pitch, the game, the rules and the debriefing. A formative evaluation was performed in 2022 (n=140) investigating students’ perception immediately after the session and immediate knowledge retention using a pre-test/post-test evaluation. The results of the final assessment were considered indirect indicators of student involvement.
Results: Although the game itself did not immediately improve the students’ knowledge retention, it really was a great tool to motivate and engage participants, which might explain a significant improvement in the final assessment.
Conclusion: A serious game can be an interesting tool to teach pharmaceutical technology. To help colleagues wishing to revitalise their pharmacy interventions, a non-exhaustive list of ideas to consider before starting the game conception is provided.

Authors: Hamilton Peter , Power Ailsa , Boyter Anne C , Addison Brian , McAleer Sean
Published: December 2023

Background: Experiential Learning (EL) is a requirement of the General Pharmaceutical Council’s Standards for the Initial Education and Training of Pharmacists. Essential to the growth of high-quality EL is the development of the facilitators who supervise the student pharmacists in practice. This research aimed to identify the capabilities required by facilitators to support a student pharmacist effectively during EL.    
Methods: A two-phase mixed methods process was undertaken to reach an agreement on the capability descriptors required by EL facilitators. A literature review followed by a modified Delphi process was used to determine consensus on the identified draft capability descriptors. All feedback gained from the Delphi was analysed and used to shape the development of the descriptors.    
Results: A panel of 48 stakeholders was recruited to take part in the Delphi process. Response rates for the two Delphi rounds were high (Round 1 – 46 (95.8%), Round 2 – 41 (85.4%)) Following the Delphi, the initial list of descriptors was reduced to 92 descriptors across eight overall domains.    
Conclusion: Through this research, a high level of consensus was reached for the range of descriptors within the framework which can ensure relevant, efficient education and training for EL facilitators to develop quality EL in pharmacy environments.

Authors: SALDANLI Arif , UZUN Sumeyra
Published: December 2023

This study examines district-level factors affecting Turkish credit card usage. Demographic, education, health, tourism, economy, urbanization, culture, and sports parameters are used to create two spatial econometric models. Geographical data visualizes dependent variables and assesses credit card usage's spatial dependency. The study is the first to use a spatial econometric model on this topic. The model estimator is the Spatial Durbin Model using Buse Adj. R2 and information criteria. The first model shows a negative relationship between physical credit card payments, students per teacher, and mosques per capita. Total physical credit card payments are negatively correlated with per capita electricity consumption, markets, students per teacher, and mosques per capita in the second model. This study highlights the spatial dependence and geographical variation of credit card usage factors and suggests longitudinal research to track changes and investigate causal relationships.

AYAZ İSHAKİ’NİN “ZÜLEYHA” ADLI TİYATRO ESERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: AYDIN Kübra Şeyma
Published: December 2023

Kazan Tatar halkı, Osmanlı Devleti’nden ayrıldıktan sonra Sovyet Rusya’nın asimilasyon politikalarına dâhil olmuştur. Dini ve milli değerlerinin ellerinden zorla alınmaya çalışılmasına karşılık Kazan Tatar halkı mücadelesini hiçbir zaman bırakmamıştır. Ayaz İshaki bu mücadelenin aydınlarından biridir. Kazan Tatar halkı için kaleme aldığı yazılarla halkını aydınlatmada öncü olmuştur. Ayaz İshaki’nin Tatar kadınlarına verdiği değeri açıklamakta yetkin olan eseri Züleyha piyesidir. Ayaz İshaki, Züleyha piyesinde kadın üzerinden verilen mücadeleleri ele almış, halkın kendi içinde yaşadığı kimlik karmaşalarını temsile dökmüştür. Tatar halkının ve kadınlarının bağlı bulunduğu değerlerden olan ve direnişinin en önemli sebeplerinden biri olan dinsel yaşama genişçe yer verilmiştir. Din ve milli kimlik algısının birbiriyle iç içe geçtiği süreçlerde yazar Tatar halkına yapılan din ve milli kimlik baskısını nesillerin üretilmesinde mihenk taşı görevi gören kadın üzerinden vermiş ve Ruslaştırma süreçlerini de bu şekilde yansıtmıştır.

Piyes olarak ele alınmasından dolayı eser, tiyatro terimleriyle açıklanmıştır. Sanatsal açıdan tiyatroya Türk dünyası içerisinde Kazan-Tatar halkı da kıymet vermiş ve tiyatroya yönelim içerisinde olmuştur. Bu sebeple piyesin teorik olarak tiyatro kavramlarıyla ele alınması eserin sanatsal açıdan kalitesini de ortaya koyması bakımından önemlidir. Esere, tiyatral açıdan bakıldığında drama oluşu aşikâr niteliktedir. Buna göre eserde diyalog, özdeşleşme, arınma, çatışma, ritim, sergileme, düğüm ve çözüm başlıkları bulunmuş ve bu terimler açıklanmıştır.

Çalışmanın amacı, eserdeki kadın ve din izleklerini ortaya koymak, eserin tiyatral özelliklerini kuramsal olarak incelemektir.
THE STRUCTURAL CHARACTERIZATION, INVESTIGATION VIA THERMO AND X-RAY STIMULATED LUMINESCENCE PROPERTIES OF SAROS GULF CLAY SAMPLE
Authors: KESKİN İlker Çetin
Published: December 2023

Clay is mainly composed of illite, kaolinite, montmorillonite groups. Although it is abundant in nature, it is very difficult to find pure clay. The substances that make up clay are hydrous aluminum silicates. Each clay group contains different metal oxides or organic compounds. These impurities contained in minerals constitute an interesting field in luminescence and optical studies.

Although there are many studies on clay minerals, each sample shows its own unique characteristics. In this study, clay samples taken from Edirne-Keşan-Erikli Beach, located on the coast of Saros Gulf, were studied. Its crystallographic structure was determined by XRD analysis, its rheological properties and the elements it contained were determined by SEM-EDX analysis, and its structural properties were examined by FT-IR analysis. In optical absorption analysis, strong absorption bands were observed in the UV and Vis regions. In radioluminescence (RL) analysis, the emission spectrum formed by X-ray excitation are discussed. Likewise, in the thermoluminescence (TL) analysis using X-ray as primary excitation, peaks were observed in shallow and deep traps.
An autoethnographic study: Self-growth approach for teacher educators in training tech-effective teachers
Authors: BAŞAL Ahmet
Published: December 2023

I hold the view that teachers have a significant impact on students’ academic performance, and in the current digital educational environment, this impact has become much more significant. Although the technology available to teachers remained largely unchanged since before the pandemic, their struggles with online teaching highlighted the shortcomings of their technology training in teacher education programs. The lack of technological proficiencies among teachers frequently stems from insufficient training in digital skills within teacher education programs, which is often due to the teacher educators’ own deficiencies in digital proficiency. Therefore, I contend that teachers’ development in technology use should start with teacher educators. In this qualitative autoethnographic study, I, as a teacher educator, critically examine how I improve my digital literacy and technological pedagogical skills, utilizing a collection of data sources including reflective accounts, lecture notes, teaching diaries, and student feedback. By sharing this journey, I aim to offer insights that other teacher educators may perceive as beneficial for their own professional development. I argue that adopting a non-formal self-growth approach is a useful way for teacher educators to equip future teachers with the required knowledge and skills for effective technology integration in their future practices.

Evolution of Risks Facing Commercial Banks in Kenya and Associated Strategic Responses
Authors: Kimani John , Kibera Margaret
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The main objective of this study was to explore the evolution of risks facing commercial banks in Kenya and their strategic responses

Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.

Findings: The study found that the commercial banking sector in Kenya is operating within a highly dynamic and ever-evolving risk landscape. The risks faced by these banks are multifaceted and include economic, operational risk, regulatory, technological, systematic, sovereign risk and market-related challenges. It also added that the strategic responses adopted by commercial banks in Kenya are diverse and multifaceted. The conclusions drawn emphasize the need for continual vigilance and adaptation in risk management, the pivotal role of technology and digital transformation, and the significance of regulatory compliance. By taking these conclusions into account, commercial banks in Kenya can better position themselves to thrive in the dynamic and competitive financial landscape of the country.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Modern Portfolio theory, liquidity preference and the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR), Agency theory, the term structure of interest rates and duration and Credit Scoring Model and the Resource Based View model may be used to anchor future studies on the evolution of risks facing commercial banks in Kenya and their strategic responses. This study makes significant contributions to theory by developing a risk evolution framework and strategic risk response models. It has practical implications by offering enhanced risk management strategies and guidance for financial decision-making for practitioners. Additionally, the research provides valuable insights for banking regulators policymakers, and investors in Kenya, supporting risk-based supervision and financial stability initiatives.
Variables that Promote Mental Fluency in Second Langauge Learning: The Concern of Automaticity and Proficiency.
Authors: Udeigwe J. O.
Published: December 2023

A second language is a foreign language which has become domesticated in a country outside its place of origin and functions as a lingua franca of the new country. Our focus is not on teaching methods but on the general principles through which teaching is carried out in the classroom. Also our concern is not on the external variables that promote or inhibit learning, but on the mental processes that enhance learning from explicit knowledge to the development of implicit automatic procedural knowledge. The terminal goal of second language learning is the gaining of proficiency in language use to the point of automaticity. We have chosen the learning of English as a second Language in a non-native culture where English performs the official function as a language of government, Education and Commerce. We have also taken this context because it has so much satisfied the proficiency of spoken and written English irrespective of the method of teaching advanced. To achieve the expected proficiency, we tend to satisfy the following conditions: awareness, input, intake, Output, and Corrective feedback. We achieved this by employing the skills of interaction and practice between the teacher and the learner.
Vickers’ Where Three Roads Meet as Metaleptic Retelling of the Oedipus
Authors: Adıgüzel Leyla
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Considering the fact that postmodern literature is an intertextual world in which the reader reinterprets the text in an ongoing process, it is evident that referring to the past, particularly ancient myths through various writing strategies is becoming highly popular. Within the framework of this understanding, Salley Vickers attracts attention with Where Three Roads Meet, where she retells the Oedipus myth, published in 2007 as part of the myth series launched by Canongate Publishing House. The author blends the ancient myth with the Oedipus complex that Freud introduced to psychoanalysis, transforming it into a masterfully constructed contemporary myth that oscillates between the fantasy world of myth and Freud's era. This study's primary aim is to examine Vickers' various narrative techniques in rewriting the ancient myth, particularly metalepsis. In this direction, the study also focuses on the author's existential, psychological, philosophical, and fantastic interpretation approaches to constructing her postmodern work. Finally, in her metaleptic version based on the one-to-one dialogue between Freud and the narrator, this study concludes that Vickers deconstructs the myth tradition and creates an illusion effect on the reader that suspends thanks to the ambiguity and multi-layeredness composed in the narrator's core and throughout the account.

Öz
Post modern edebiyatın, okurun metni sürekli yeniden yorumladığı metinlerarası bir dünya olduğu düşünüldüğünde, çeşitli yazma stratejileriyle geçmişe, özellikle de antik mitlere atıfta bulunmanın oldukça popüler hale geldiği açıktır. Bu anlayış çerçevesinde Salley Vickers, 2007 yılında Canongate Yayınevi’nin başlattığı mit serisi kapsamında yayımlanan ve Oedipus mitini yeniden anlattığı Where Three Roads Meet ile dikkat çeker. Yazar, antik miti Freud'un psikanalize kazandırdığı Oedipus kompleksiyle harmanlayarak, mitin fantezi dünyası ile Freud'un dönemi arasında gidip gelen, ustalıkla kurgulanmış çağdaş bir mite dönüştürür. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Vickers'ın başta metalepsis olmak üzere antik miti yeniden yazarken kullandığı çeşitli anlatı tekniklerini incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda çalışma, yazarın post modern eserini inşa ederken kullandığı varoluşsal, psikolojik, felsefi ve fantastik yorumlama yaklaşımlarına da odaklanmaktadır. Son olarak, Freud ve anlatıcı arasındaki birebir diyaloğa dayanan metaleptik versiyonunda, Vickers'ın mit geleneğini yapı bozuma uğrattığı ve anlatıcının merkezinde ve anlatının genelinde oluşturduğu belirsizlik ve çok katmanlılık sayesinde okuyucu askıya alan bir illüzyon etkisi yarattığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Challenging Ableism: Caregiving and Healthcare in John Belluso’s Pyretown
Authors: Başer Özcan Duygu Beste
Published: December 2023

John Belluso’s play Pyretown depicts a single mother’s struggle with the American healthcare system and portrays the destructive consequences of ableism existing in the neoliberal structures. Even though neoliberal ideology promises happiness, health and success through hard work and consumption, the characters in the play are victimized by highly valued autonomy, profit, and privatization. In such a system, disability is also thought to be an individual experience, yet the play shows that it is only a part of complex dynamics in daily life. On her journey to learn disability as a multifaceted experience, Lou engages in affective relationships with Harry and Rebecca whose lives are also jeopardized by the medical industrial complex. The realist portrayal of disability problematizes the job market, the healthcare and welfare system in the United States while promoting for a reform in the social, cultural, and political discourses. Within this context, this article argues that Belluso’s Pyretown exposes and critiques neoliberal ableism as it exists in American society while portraying the complexities of caregiving, motherhood, and disability.

Este artigo tem a finalidade de apresentar um estudo sobre a relação da neurociência e a sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento do procedimento de ensino e aprendizagem no quesito escolar. O desafio de reconhecer as dificuldades de aprendizagem tem sido cada vez mais frequente no âmbito escolar, sendo identificadas desde a pré-escola. Caso não sejam identificadas, irá refletir em sérios problemas futuros em etapas seguintes da educação básica. A Neurociência institui-se como um campo novo do conhecimento voltado para agir e pensar sobre as dificuldades de aprendizagem. Toda aprendizagem é realizada através do cérebro, compreendendo a neurociência, a ciência e a neuro aprendizagem. É necessário ter conhecimento do cérebro e do Sistema Nervoso para aprender o processo de aprendizagem. O uso dos estudos da Neurociência na escola é uma base de sustentação; no campo interventivo, a imagem do psicopedagogo agrega a psicopedagogia, visando compreender a relação estabelecida entre a aprendizagem e o cérebro. A Neurociência intervém por meio da compreensão de estruturas cerebrais envolvidas no processo de aprendizagem, notando a maneira que o cérebro gerencia a construção do conhecimento humano. Esse conteúdo é considerável nos ambientes escolares, visando que na atualidade são infinitos os casos de crianças que manifestam obstáculos no aprendizado escolar, deliberado por motivos variados consecutivos do estilo de vida que confrontam desde a gestação até o ensino superior.
