Le costume et la peau
Authors: HASCOËT Nathalie
Published: July 2024

L’ouvrage explore les références culturelles anglophones et francophones d’œuvres littéraires, photographiques, théâtrales, picturales ou cinématographiques. Personnages historiques, mythes cinématographiques ou représentations de personnages célèbres, elles empruntent des contours discursifs à définir et le partage de leur contenu de sens constitue le véritable enjeu du discours. La variété des éléments culturels étudiés permet d’élaborer un ensemble d’invariants sémantiques définissant ce qu’est une référence culturelle, pour en appréhender les enjeux en termes coénonciatifs et relationnels afin de comprendre les liens, implicites ou non, qui unissent l’œuvre et le destinataire.

Les concepts de posé / pré-posé, coénonciation, anticipation et appel / rupture de consensus, substrat culturel ou stratégie énonciative éclairent le rôle textuel, discursif et métatextuel des références culturelles dans l’œuvre artistique. Comment Wyler se joue-t-il des frontières entre le réel et le fictif dans How to Steal a Million, comment dans To Be or Not To Be Lubitsch s’empare-t-il d’une référence culturelle pour la réinventer ? L'ouvrage explore, par ses exemples, dont The Purple Rose of Cairo de Allen, comment les nouveaux supports d’accès aux films modifient les rapports entre l’œuvre et le spectateur. Les relations intertextuelles et interculturelles opèrent entre les objets référentiels et favorisent l’ancrage d’un mythe auprès du public. De quoi se nourrit sa fascination pour des héros comme Philipe, Monroe, Gable ou Vilar ? Dans cette construction référentielle, à quel moment le couple personne-personnage ne fait-il plus qu’un et alimente-t-il l’univers de la représentation riche d’émotions transversales ?
Çocuklar Olumlu, Olumsuz ve Nötr İçerikli Dedikoduları Ayırt Edebilir Mi?
Authors: Aydın Muhammed Sukru
Published: July 2024

Dedikoduya yönelik değerlendirmelerin insan yaşamında nasıl gelişim gösterdiğini anlamak çocukların sosyal dünyasına ışık tutması açısından önemlidir. Ancak çocukların dedikoduyu ne düzeyde algılayabildikleri araştırmalarda yeteri kadar ele alınmayan konulardandır. Bu nedenle mevcut araştırmada çocukların olumlu, olumsuz ve nötr içerikli dedikoduları ayırt edip edemedikleri ve bu konuda gelişimsel farklılıklar olup olmadığı incelenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmaya 5-8 yaşları arasında 142 çocuk dâhil edilmiştir. Çocuklara her biri 5 sahneden oluşan “olumlu”, “olumsuz” ve “nötr” içerikli dedikodu senaryoları anlatılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda çocukların olumlu dedikodu yapılan senaryodaki karakterlere olumlu özellikleri anlamlı olarak daha fazla atfettikleri, bunu sırasıyla nötr ve olumsuz dedikodu yapan senaryoların karakterlerinin takip ettiği bulunmuştur. Sonuçlar çocukların dedikodu fenomenini tek bir boyutta değerlendirmedikleri, dedikodu içeriğinin olumlu/olumsuz olmasının dedikoduya yönelik muhakemelerde etkili olduğu şeklinde yorumlanmıştır.

How Has COVID-19 Affected Airline Passenger Satisfaction? Evaluating The Passenger Satisfaction of European Short-Haul Low-Cost Carriers Pre- and Post-COVID-19
Authors: İnce Ferhat , Özdemir Emircan
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates whether there has been a change in passenger satisfaction drivers for the three largest short-haul low-cost carriers in Europe before and after COVID-19. User-generated content on the Skytrax platform was used as the data source for passenger satisfaction, and these secondary data were scraped using the Web Scraper tool. Binary logistic regression was used for the classification model related to passenger satisfaction, and ROC analysis was used to evaluate the classification performance of the model. The findings suggested that the service attributes of seat comfort, cabin staff services, and ground services are significant predictors of value for money, and the value for money is a significant determinant of overall satisfaction in both periods. Additionally, it was revealed that ground service is the most important determinant of the value for money perception. The results also indicate that in the post-COVID-19 period, the predictive power of seat comfort has decreased while the predictive power of ground services has increased.

Published: July 2024

Father involvement is very important in the prenatal period as well as in the postnatal period. Nowadays, it is seen that fathers-to-be's desire to participate in the pregnancy period and their presence at birth are increasing. Studies in the literature have pointed out the positive effects of fathers' involvement in the pregnancy and childbirth process on children and parents by supporting the physical and psychological health of the mother. However, considering the fact that there are many factors that limit prenatal father involvement at the individual, familial, and contextual levels, there are still areas remaining to be revealed in this issue. Therefore, the current review paper aimed to present a basic framework about the effects of fathers' involvement in the pregnancy and childbirth process on children and parents and the factors affecting their participation. Focusing on prenatal fatherhood may contribute to intervention programs that will be developed especially on parenting.

Authors: Singer Hilal
Published: July 2024

The paper and paper products printing sector plays a crucial role in generating income, creating employment opportunities, and supporting exports and various industries. Measuring the efficiency of companies operating in this sector is important in identifying areas for improvement and enhancing overall performance. In this study, a two-stage DEA (data envelopment analysis)-AHP (analytic hierarchy process) approach is proposed to analyze the efficiency of twelve paper and paper products printing companies traded on Borsa Istanbul. The modified DEA method is employed to make pairwise comparisons of the companies. Total assets, total equity, and the number of employees are selected as inputs, while revenue and net profit are considered as outputs. The AHP method prioritizes the companies by considering the outputs of the mathematical models constructed via DEA. The proposed framework presents a different view because it contributes to identifying the most efficient company, benchmarking company performance, and determining areas for improvement.

SPECIFICS OF THE METHODOLOGY OF COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE IDEATIONAL-THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS OF SINICIZED MARXISM
Authors: Vilkov Viacheslav ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Nazarkov Vasyl ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

The paper provides theoretical-methodological recommendations for improving the adequacy and heuristics of research on the origins of Chinese Marxist philosophical and socio-political thought in the 1940s–early 2020s, elucidating the attributive features and main tendencies in its rejuvenation. These recommendations are based on the analysis of methodological approaches to the theoretical reconstruction of the development of Marxist metanarratives in the USSR and the PRC. The author of the article proposes a scientific and theoretical justification for the analytical approach, according to which a specifically historically-oriented comparative method of studying Chinese Marxism should play a system-forming role. The model of cognition methodology structured according to this principle helped to reveal and give general characteristics to the defining ideological and institutional factors of the successive Sinicization of Marxism as the process and result of its transformation into such a nationally adapted variety of Marxist teaching, which became a philosophical foundation of the modern ideology, doctrine, and policy of the Communist Party of China, as well as the theoretical basis of the project and the state strategy of building “socialism with Chinese characteristics.” The paper’s material can contribute to improving the efficacy of further research into the logic of evolution and the specifics of interpretations of the axiomatics of the Marxist-Leninist paradigm in modern China; optimize the ideational-theoretical platform; and expand the methodological and conceptual tools for de-ideologized understanding and assessment of the direction of processes and possible prospects for the rejuvenation of Marxist teaching (Sinicized Marxism).
INSTITUTIONAL PRIORITIES OF UKRAINE’S ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY
Authors: Kresina Iryna ,   V. M. Koretsky Institute of state and law of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

It is noted that the topic of corruption is relevant due to the emergence of new areas for committing corruption crimes, new institutional mechanisms for responding to corruption, and new requirements of Ukraine’s partner states. The war with Russia, Ukraine’s accelerated course towards European integration, and high-profile anti-corruption disclosures are the factors that increase scientific interest in the topic of corruption and mechanisms for preventing and combating it. The purpose of the study is to identify the institutional priorities of Ukraine’s anticorruption policy. The objectives of the study are as follows: 1) to find out how the Ukrainian government responds to the requirements of international institutions to implement reforms in the field of preventing and combating corruption; 2) to determine how the war with Russia and the acceleration of European integration processes in Ukraine have affected the problem of corruption and the modification of the national model of preventing and combating it; 3) to identify which institutional obstacles intensify/slow down anti-corruption processes in Ukraine. The features of Ukraine’s anti-corruption policy at the present stage are studied. The main results and problems in implementing the recommendations of international anticorruption institutions are analysed. The problem of preventing and combating corruption is considered through the prism of the war and the prospects for postwar reconstruction, as well as Ukraine’s European integration course. It is stated that the Russian aggression has caused new corruption challenges, the number of which is growing in wartime, mobilisation of persons liable for military service, restoration of the de-occupied territories, etc. Priority areas for further institutional reforms in the field of preventing and combating various types of corruption are identified. It is argued that the success of the anti-corruption reform in Ukraine depends on the political will of the authorities, consolidation of efforts of the state institutions and civil society. It is noted that the current changes in the institutional design of the national system of preventing and combating corruption are not yet complete and need to be deepened to meet the needs of wartime and ensure largescale post-war reconstruction of Ukraine.
MILITARISM AS A FACTOR OF MODERN STATE POLICY
Authors: Batrymenko Oleg ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Borsuk Artur ,   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

The article focuses on the impact of militarism on state policy in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Drawing on empirical research, the authors examines the ways in which militarism has been integrated into state decision-making and the benefits it has brought. The article also examines the interpretation of militarism and how this experience can be used in new political studies, suggesting that a deeper understanding of militarisation processes is necessary for predicting geopolitical situations and analysing the policies of countries around the world. Militarisation is also influenced by political factors. Some governments use military power to strengthen political control or to divert attention from domestic problems. Increasing military influence serves as a means of political pressure and achieving strategic goals at the international level. Contemporary armed conflicts indicate that traditional methods of determining winners and losers are losing their significance due to their scale and diversity. Global contradictions are complicated not only by military actions, but also by political strategies, technological advances, information warfare, hybrid threats and other aspects.

THE ROLE OF COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS IN POLICY MAKING
Authors: Kobylnyk Vasyl ,   Kamianets-Podilskyi Ivan Ohienko National University, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Ukraine
Published: July 2024

The political environment is in a state of constant change, and new challenges are emerging at a rapid pace. The speed of international transactions, digitalisation processes, and the spread of the Internet and mobile communications significantly accelerate these changes. Such processes create an environment of uncertainty and risks that directly affect political processes and the activities of political actors, and thus their decision-making processes. These decisions have to be made quickly, as the situation is changing dynamically and some risks are replaced by others. At the same time, these decisions must be balanced and based on a qualitative analysis of the situation, as wrong political decisions can have serious negative consequences for society. Before making a decision, a thorough analysis of the situation is necessary, including the formulation of the problem and its interpretation in the context of other social problems. Thus, the process of political decision-making can be seen as a choice among several alternative ways of resolving an issue. To choose the best of these ways, it is advisable to use the comparative analysis approach. The essence of the comparative method in political science research is to identify similarities and differences between political institutions, processes and phenomena. At the present stage, we can talk about the dynamic development of modern comparative political science. In today’s environment, the forms of phenomena associated with decision-making under conditions of uncertainty, stress and risk are becoming particularly relevant. Of course, comparative analysis cannot always provide clear and unambiguous answers to political questions. Nevertheless, it remains a valuable tool for policy-making, helping policymakers and analysts to better understand policy issues and develop more effective and informed policies.
POLITICAL AND SOCIAL PRACTICE OF RASHISM IDEOLOGY AS A SIGNIFICANT FACTOR OF GLOBAL DESTABILIZATION
Authors: Loza Viktor ,   Scientific establishment «Academy «Ukrainian Politeia» (Kyiv) Ukraine
Published: July 2024

This work explores the political and social practice of the ideology of Rashism, which is continuously spreading and supported by the Russian Federation, both within its state and abroad. It has been discovered that this ideology stimulates the growth of international tension, undermines the foundations of international security and the domestic political stability of other countries, contributing to global destabilization. The study analyzes how the ideology of Rashism uses aggressive foreign policy and cultivates the idea of the “superiority” of its own nation, creating an “enemy” image for the consolidation of society and justification of its expansionist and repressive actions. The impact of the political and social practices of the Rashism ideology on global destabilization has been investigated. An urgent need for an active international response aimed at countering the spread and effects of this ideology has been identified. The research emphasizes the importance of international interaction and solidarity in combating the Rashism ideology, with the aim of ensuring peace, security, and stability in international relations, calling for collective actions to confront this threat.

Introduction. Non-invasive magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) is a new neurosurgical treatment option for tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease (TDPD). Outcomes of ablation with dual targeting of two subcortical nuclei to improve functional treatment results are yet to be explored.
Aim. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of MRgFUS with simultaneous unilateral ablation of two cerebral targets in patients with TDPD.
Materials and methods. A total of 82 TDPD patients (20 women, 62 men; median age 65.0 [52.5; 70,0] years) received unilateral MRgFUS, i.e. ventrointermedial (VIM) nucleus thalamotomy and/or pallidothalamotractotomy (PTT). Motor symptoms, including tremor, were assessed using MDS-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III (MDS-UPDRS-III). VIM, PTT, and VIM + PTT ablation was received by 34, 12, and 36 patients, respectively.
Results. After surgery, MDS-UPDRS-III score improved by 40.1% (30.2; 51.7) without early or late-onset serious complications. Tremor returned in 18 patients (all after VIM thalamotomy); 9 of them successfully underwent re-treatment 9–12 months after the first procedure. Simultaneous dual-target (VIM + PPT) intervention was successfully received by 36 patients without any serious complications. A total of 89.3% and 69.7% of patients remained relapse-free in the dual-target and single-target groups, respectively (p = 0.039).
Conclusion. Simultaneous dual-target (VIM and PTT) MRgFUS showed favorable safety and efficacy profiles and can be considered a symptomatic treatment option for TDPD patients.

Published: July 2024

This review describes the association between rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (RBD) and synucleinopathies, primarily Parkinson's disease. This article reviews the diagnostic criteria, the epidemiology of RBDs, their pathogenesis, and their association with early non-motor symptoms. The data are presented to assess the risk of phenoconversion of RBDs to Parkinson's disease or other synucleinopathies such as Lewy body dementia and multiple system atrophy. A prodromal period of RBDs may precede synucleinopathies years or decades before potential manifestation of motor, cognitive, or autonomic disorders, and this may be important for initiating the neuroprotective therapy. Other causes of RBDs are also reviewed.
Using Convolutional Neural Network to Determine Time Window for Analyzing Local Shear-Wave Splitting Measurements
Authors: Zhang Yanwei , Gao Stephen S.
Published: July 2024

The time window for analyzing local shear-wave splitting (SWS) phases significantly affects the quality of measurements, revealing a noteworthy domain influence. In this study, an approach using convolutional neural network (CNN) is applied to determine the end of time window (e), which has a similar idea of the phase-picking CNNs. The start of time window is 0.5 s before e. Our data set contains 803 human-labeled measurements, recorded from three stations located in Ridgecrest, California. These measurements are foreshocks and aftershocks of an M 7.1 earthquake on 6 July 2019. After 21 times shifting on each measurement, 90% of the data set is applied as the training data set, with the remaining 10% as the testing data set. The performance of CNN with the testing data set is compared with a nonmachine learning method, multiple filter automatic splitting technique (MFAST). The results reveal that the CNN yields more similar results with human-labeled outcomes than MFAST, as evidenced by lower absolute error and standard deviation for e, SWS time, the orientation of fast-wave polarization, and more consistent results on the map. The CNN also performs well when applied to data recorded by a station in Parkfield, California. This study shows the outstanding performance of CNN in picking the time window and the reliable automatic determination of this time window, and it is also a crucial step for future development of automatic ranking methodologies.

Published: July 2024

The article substantiates the relationship between human working capacity and the work and rest pattern of the personnel of transport enterprises. Driving vehicles requires increased working capacity, that is why the legislation must clearly regulate the working time of the personnel involved in transportation. The specifics of the legal regulation of the work and rest pattern of employees of air, road, rail and water transport enterprises are considered in accordance with the norms of the legislation of Ukraine and some conventions of the International Labour Organization. Unfortunately, there are currently no legal norms regarding the regulation of the work and rest pattern for carriers in conditions of martial law, depending on the region in which they operate. The authors make conclusions about the need to study the experience of European countries regarding the regulation of the working time and rest time of transport workers according to: different modes of transport; intensifying the process of ratification by Ukraine of international agreements on regulation of the work and rest patterns; strengthening the responsibility of employers for non-compliance with the requirements of legal norms regarding the working time and rest time of employees; cooperation of employers, trade unions and state authorities in the development of program provisions and effective mechanisms for the implementation of defined norms for the protection of socio-economic and labour rights of employees at transport enterprises; revising the work and rest pattern of transport sector workers in accordance with the conditions of martial law; legal recognition of higher social guarantees for carriers working in front-line zones and combat zones.

Background: Myocardial perfusion imaging by single photon emission computed tomography (MPI–SPECT) is noninvasive test that can give an important information for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), detect reversible ischemia, quantify defect sizes and help in clinical decisions of interventions as well as assessment of disease prognosis. Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) emerged as a potential modality for assessing systolic and diastolic LV performance. Strain doppler echocardiography (SDE) is a new tool for measuring regional myocardial deformation excluding the effect of adjacent myocardial tissue. The development of Instantaneous wave-free Ratio (IFR) as a relatively new invasive method for physiological assessment of coronary lesions without the use of pharmacologic hyperemic agents is the golden standard test for assessment of intermediate coronary lesions and guiding the revascularization decision. Methods: This Cross-sectional study was done was conducted on 50 cases with intermediate coronary artery lesions admitted at the Cardiology departments in Benha University, Kobry Elkobba Military Hospital and Air Force Specialized Hospital. All groups were subjected to history and clinical examination, cardiac examination, 12 lead ECG, 2D echocardiography, routine laboratory investigations, coronary angiography with evaluation of intermediate lesion by IFR then TDI and SDE for evaluation the regional myocardial deformation of the segments supplied by the same coronary artery, after that 99mTc-sestamibi (MIBI) SPECT imaging was done to quantify defect size and finally correlation was done between results of IFR, TDI and SPECT to guide the revascularization decision. Results: Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that; Gated single-photon emission computed moderate and severe Ischemia, Sm-velocity, WMSI, DT, had a highly significant positive correlation with IFR value (p < 0.001). E/A ratio, Mean E/e’ velocity ratio, FS, LVEF and LV GLS had a highly significant negative correlation with IFR value (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Instantaneous wave-free Ratio (IFR) modality is a reliable measure to guide functional significance of the intermediate coronary artery lesions for decision making and guiding plan of management. But it is an expensive and invasive modality. On the other hand, SPECT and tissue doppler modalities showed high sensitivity and specificity in the same group of patients with less expensive, non-invasive and no contrast use advantages.

The current study was done to isolation and indentification of the Staphlococcus aureus isolates associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome patients and determine the molecular status for these patients and bacteria. The study included 155 clinical samples, which were collected from November 2022 to June 2023. The samples included blood samples – vaginal swabs. About 75 samples were collected from women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and 30 samples were collected from women with polycystic ovarian disease ( PCOD). They visit Imam Al-Sadiq Hospital and Babylon Teaching Hospital for Maternity and Children in Babylon Governorate. While 50samples were collected from women without polycystic ovaries as a healthy group. All samples were cultured on different media for full bacteriological identification . In addition, blood samples were taken in order to studying molecular status. The results of this study on the polymerase chain reaction revealed a number of genes related to Staphylococcus aureus isolates and some of its virulence factors, including genes (mec A, spa, luks). The study revealed the presence of the mec A gene in 5 out of 38 isolates. And by (13.15 %). While the spa gene was present in 9 out of 38 isolates, with a rate of (23.68 %). While the luks gene was present in 7 out of 38 isolates, with a rate of (18.42 %). while the study included the genes of sick people by detecting some genes, including the study of genetic polymorphisms of the gene for cytokine IL13 in patient samples.

Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder triggered by the ingestion of gluten in genetically susceptible individuals. The current study aimed to compare the levels of these antibodies in celiac disease patients on active gluten-containing diets and those on gluten-free diets to demonstrate the ability to get rid of Celiac Disease by Gluten-Free Diet. The study involved 100 participants, divided into 60 CD patients and 40 controls, where all participant match in age and gender. The patient group was further divided into two subgroups 40 active celiac and 20 GFD. Blood samples were obtained from all participants, and levels of anti-tTG and anti-gliadin antibodies were using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technology. The results showed The F test indicated a significant difference in the levels of anti-tTG and anti-gliadin antibodies between the active group (G1) and the diet group (G2) in comparison to the control group (G3), with a p-value less than 0.001. Upon conducting a deeper analysis using the least significant difference (LSD) on on anti-tTG IgA and IgG indicate that there are no significant differences between the patient groups G1 and G2, as evidenced by p-values of 0.120 for IgA. However, a significant difference was observed between G1 and G2 for IgG, with a p-value of 0.018. When comparing G1 with G3, and G2 with G3, significant differences were observed, with p-values less than 0.001. In the case of anti-gliadin IgA and IgG, the LSD test revealed a highly significant difference between G1 and G2, as indicated by a p-value less than 0.001. However, no significant differences were found between G1 and G3, with p-values of 0.499 for IgA and 0.110 for IgG. A highly significant difference was none the less observed between G2 and G3, with a p-value less than 0.001.In conclusion, This study highlights the importance of dietary adherence in celiac disease management. Patients on gluten-free diets had significantly lower levels of anti-TG and anti-gliadin antibodies, indicating better control of the autoimmune response. Monitoring these antibody levels can be a valuable tool in assessing the effectiveness of dietary interventions in celiac disease patients.

The agriculture sector in the United States depends upon exports for its vitality. Sales of U.S. agricultural products abroad are responsible for 20 percent of U.S. farm income, supporting more than one million American jobs on and off the farm, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. 
The U.S. Government pays great attention to supporting exports as an important factor in the stability of agriculture and the well-being of American farmers. The U.S. Department of Agriculture implements more than 20 state programs for financial, informational, educational and technical support for exports; its representative offices abroad are actively working to promote American agricultural products and search for new markets. Free Intergovernmental Trade Agreements help expand foreign markets for U.S. producers and exporters by reducing or eliminating trade barriers, protecting U.S. economic interests.
The ХХ1st century has brought increased competition in the world market due to the entry of new exporters. The competitive prices they offer and the high quality of products for many importers became significant factors that determined the choice in favor of these countries. As a result, the U.S. position in the world market has noticeably deteriorated. The country has lost its leadership in exporting a number of major agricultural products, and for the first time in 60 years, the United States has become a net importer of agricultural products.
