A racist revolutionary: the literary career of Jean-François Dubroca as a propagandist of the French Consulate, 1800-1804
Authors: de Francesco Antonio
Published: January 2022

Jean-François Dubroca, polygraphe actif pendant les années napoléoniennes, ne nous apparaît aujourd’hui que comme ayant rédigé les premières biographies, aux traits d’ailleurs lourdement racistes, de Toussaint Louverture (1802) et de Jean-Jacques Dessalines (1804). Cela pourrait étonner, car, tout au long des années précédentes, Dubroca avait été un révolutionnaire acharné : en 1792, à la chute de la monarchie, il se défroqua et se rangea du côté des républicains ; pendant la Terreur il était proche des déchristianisateurs ; après Thermidor, il fut parmi les promoteurs du culte théophilanthropique ; et, à la veille de Brumaire, il faisait partie du Portique Républicain, un cercle d'écrivains démocrates. Les biographies de Louverture et de Dessalines représentent donc un sombre exemple de l'involution de la culture politique républicaine dans les années du Consulat. Cet article procède par conséquent à une lecture des travaux de Dubroca parus au début du xixe siècle – parmi lesquels on trouve une des premières biographies de Bonaparte et un rapport sur l'importance du retour de la Louisiane à la France – pour éclairer les conditions et les motivations qui facilitèrent un tel dérapage. Il est hors de doute que son soutien à la politique américaine de Bonaparte lui imposait la dénonciation de l’immoralité des anglais, ouvertement accusés d’inciter les noirs de Saint-Domingue pour profiter des richesses de l’île. Il s’agissait d’une polémique qui annonçait le début de la guerre de civilisation. La victorieuse résistance opposée par les noirs aux troupes françaises fit le reste et poussa Dubroca à dénaturer l'œuvre civilisatrice de la révolution en une attitude coercitive face à ceux qui la refusaient. Sur cet aspect reposent toutes les conditions pour la naissance du nouveau colonialisme.

Published: January 2022

Objective The purpose of this study is to analyze and evaluate the incidence, prognostic value, and impact of swirl sign on the outcome of patients who underwent surgical treatment for epidural hematoma.

Materials and Methods A retrospective analytical study on 307 acute epidural hematoma (AEDH) patients with and without swirl sign was conducted at our hospital between 2015 and 2019. All the patients in this study were treated initially as per the protocols of advanced trauma life support and surgically treated by craniotomy and evacuation of epidural hematoma. Patients with other concomitant intracerebral injuries such as subdural hematoma and contusion and those who were managed conservatively were excluded from the study. Various factors such as age, sex, mechanism of injury, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score at admission, time from injury to surgery, preoperative mydriasis, location of bleed, midline shift, location of fracture, volume of hematoma, duration of stay in the hospital, and GCS score at discharge were taken into consideration and compared in between patients with and without swirl sign. Outcomes were assessed at the end of 6 months using the Glasgow Outcome Scale.

Results Of the 307 patients who were operated for epidural hemorrhage, 92 had swirl sign (29.96%) and the rest had no swirl sign. Univariate analysis revealed a significant correlation between the presence of swirl sign and age, preoperative mydriasis, and time from injury to surgery. The patients with the swirl sign had an unfavorable outcome at the end of 6 months which was statistically significant.

Conclusion It can be concluded that those patients with swirl sign in AEDH had an unfavorable outcome compared to those without swirl sign. Therefore, aggressive treatment and early surgery play an important role in the outcomes of the patients.
Qualitative content analysis of cultural formulations of clients suffering from conversion disorder in North India
Authors: Lakhani Sheetal , Sharma Vibha , Desai Nimesh G.
Published: January 2022

Introduction:

Conversion disorder is easily one of the least understood neuropsychiatric disorders. There is a great deal of ambiguity with respect to symptom presentation, assessment, etiology, diagnosis, and treatment. However, a common clinical practice associated with the assessment and management of the conversion disorder is the evaluation of a stressor. Recent studies in India have indicated that family stressors are the most frequent. Sociocultural aspects of the client’s environment and the illness experience thus form an important part of the client’s diagnostic formulation. These aspects also determine help-seeking, treatment adherence, and thus, the outcomes.

Materials and Methods:

Fifteen clients suffering from conversion disorder in a tertiary mental health setting in North India, recruited through purposive sampling, were interviewed in-depth. Data were elicited using the cultural formulation interview (CFI). Qualitative content analysis was carried out.

Results:

The content analyses summarized the cultural experiences of clients suffering from conversion disorder under structured domains of the CFI. The results are presented in tables along with content examples and represent individual client experiences and conceptualizations of diagnosis, treatment, and implications of suffering from conversion disorder. The findings of this study aim to describe and highlight the cultural experiences of clients with respect to their psychopathology. The most striking recurrent theme in the cultural formulations were the lack of understanding of the nature and cause of illness both in the client as well as the clinician, and therefore a lack of trust and hope in the treatment.

Conclusion:

The findings of the current study shed light on the cultural experiences of clients with conversion disorder. These findings emphasize the need for clinicians to incorporate the individual and collective cultural experiences of clients and cultural sensitivity in addition to the clinical diagnoses. The Cultural Formulation Interview of the DSM-5 was found to be very helpful in this regard and we encourage its use by clinicians, especially with clients suffering from conversion disorder, given the strong influences of socio-cultural experiences on psychopathology as well as the intervention.

Published: January 2022

Background:

The unprecedented first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted mental health services globally. However, the negative impact of such disruptions on people with substance use disorders (SUD) seeking treatment remains unclear. We aim to explore the behaviors adopted by these individuals to overcome the service disruptions.

Materials and Methods:

We explored the changes related to substance use behavior (quit attempts, withdrawal experienced, treatment-seeking, and risky behaviors), and behavioral changes in response to COVID-19 lockdown. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 404 people with SUD seeking treatment from seven centers across India. They were assessed by a specially designed structured questionnaire during the first wave (June–September) of the pandemic.

Results:

An overwhelming majority experienced withdrawal symptoms, with close to half making quit attempts and seeking treatment during the lockdown. Three-fourth of the sample reported difficulty in accessing treatment services and medications. Patients with opioid use were significantly more likely to think about quitting (χ2 = 20.408, P = 0.000), make attempts (χ2 = 12.436, P = 0.000), seek treatment (χ
2 = 7.536, P = 0.006), and self-medicate for withdrawal symptoms (χ2 = 5.885, P = 0.015). In turn, those with alcohol use were more likely to use telepsychiatry services (χ2 = 35.143, P = 0.000) and experience stigma by family members (χ2 = 29.951, P = 0.000) and neighbors (χ2 = 17.725, P = 0.000). Among COVID-19 safety precautions, majority practised wearing masks and social distancing but not others.

Conclusion:

COVID-19 lockdown led a significant proportion of substance users, especially opioid users, to make quit attempts and seek help. However, these could not be sustained due to difficulty in accessing treatment services. Further, significant proportion failed to adhere to COVID-19 safety precautions.
Incorporating Movies and Cinema in the Medical Education Delivery
Authors: Shrivastava Saurabh RamBihariLal , Shrivastava Prateek Saurabh
Published: January 2022

The branch of medicine is dynamic and keeps changing with each day, and thus, it is a big responsibility of the teachers to train medical students to fulfill the roles expected of them. The current review was carried out to understand the role of movies in medical education and the working model that can be adopted for its smooth integration within the existing curriculum. An extensive search of all materials related to the topic was carried out in the PubMed search engine, and a total of 10 articles were selected based upon the suitability with the current review objectives and analyzed. The employment of cinemas or movies in medical education has a special place, considering the rationale that watching and listening a video establish a sense of reality that is more conducive to learning. The use of movies creates a platform for the delivery of medical care in a humanistic, empathetic, and patient-centered manner and that makes the entire process of teaching efficient and effective. The introduction of movies and videos as a part of the medical curriculum delivery is a positive approach to ensure that students learn both cognitive and noncognitive skills. Considering the need that we have to appeal to all the learning domains, all the medical colleges should formulate a potential plan to introduce the use of movies and videos in teaching-learning and thereby benefit all types of learners.

Published: January 2022

A two-month experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of complex carbon sources on the biofloc system and its influence on Penaeus vannamei culture. Four sources of carbon viz. Tapioca flour (BFTf), Rice bran (BFRb), Wheat flour (BFWf), Rice Flour (BFRf), and biofloc were generated, the absence of CHO being considered as control (C). The experiment was carried out in 100L FRP tanks in triplicate, and the post-larvae (ABW: 0.11 g) were stocked @ 400 PL/m3. Results revealed that the addition of complex carbon sources effectively reduces the TAN by 62-67%. The average body weight of shrimp in the rice flour and wheat flour treatments were significantly higher compared to control. Similarly, improved survival was observed in rice bran treatment (89%). Beneficial bacteria were isolated from all the treatments as well as control. Real-time analysis revealed significantly (P<0.05) higher expression of digestive enzyme-related genes compared to control the utilization of carbohydrates, exhibiting an encouraging trend. The complex carbon sources (BFRf) and (BFWf) have been effectively utilized, resulting in improved water quality, microbial diversity, growth performance, and enhanced digestive enzyme activity.

chez l’enfant francophone au Québec
Authors: Racicot Victoria , Leclerc Julie , Gauthier Bruno
Published: January 2022

Le test de Hayling mesure l’inhibition verbale et est largement utilisé chez l’adulte. Les données psychométriques sont restreintes pour la version Junior et les normes pour les enfants québécois sont inexistantes. L’objectif de cette étude était de produire des normes préliminaires du Test de Hayling Junior pour les enfants québécois selon certaines variables sociodémographiques et de mesurer la fidélité et la validité de ce test. L’échantillon était composé de 32 participants (14 filles, 18 garçons) âgés de 8 à 12 ans (M=9,47, É.-T.=1,32). L’âge était corrélé aux scores de vitesse et les scores ne variaient pas selon le sexe ou le niveau d’éducation des parents. Les indices de fidélité étaient généralement adéquats. Les scores au Hayling Junior étaient corrélés à certaines mesures de l’inhibition, mais pas à la mémoire de travail ni à l’échelle hyperactivité/impulsivité d’un questionnaire pour parent. Ce test permettra aux cliniciens d’évaluer l’inhibition verbale et contribuera à l’étude de son développement chez l’enfant québécois.

The Hayling test measures verbal inhibition and is widely used with adults. Psychometric data is limited for the Junior version and norms for the Quebec pediatric population are non-existent. The aim of this study was to produce norms for the Hayling Junior Test for Quebec children according to certain socio-demographic variables and to measure the reliability and validity of this test. The sample consisted of 32 participants (14 girls, 18 boys) aged 8 to 12 years (M = 9.47, SD = 1.32). Age was correlated with speed scores and scores did not vary according to sex or parental education level. The fidelity indices were generally adequate. Hayling Junior's scores correlated with some measures of inhibition, but not with working memory or the hyperactivity / impulsivity scale of a questionnaire for parent. This test will allow clinicians to assess verbal inhibition and will aid in the study of its development with Quebec children.

Psychological Contract Theory Relation to Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) of Flight Attendants
Authors: Teguh Setiawan Wibowo
Published: January 2022

In service organizations such as airlines, flight attendants as one of the components that play a direct role in serving the needs of passengers during flights are required to work independently without supervision and have confidence in carrying out job demands since they are accepted as employees. The agreement formed between the flight attendant and the airline is the initial motivation and trust given by the airline to flight attendants as employees known as psychological contracts. A high psychological contract with a reciprocal relationship where the flight attendant's expectations are fulfilled by the airline will make the flight attendant feel valued for her work and empowered. This feeling raises the motivation of flight attendants as employees to be more active by showing OCB. OCB is the behavior of flight attendants as individuals voluntarily outside of their formal job descriptions to support the advancement of the airline where they work. In this article, psychological contracts are an important factor in the growth of OCB in flight attendants, such as arriving to work early, helping coworkers or new employees who are experiencing difficulties, and contributing more to activities organized by airlines.

This study uses a food and beverage sub-sector research design. The research population amounted to 18 companies for 5 years from 2014-2018 and were picked up by 7 companies in a row to publish their financial statements. The method used in this data analysis using multiple linear regression analysis. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that: net income has no effect on cash dividends, operating cash flow has no effect on cash dividends, free cash flow has no effect on cash dividends, previous year's cash dividends have an effect on cash dividends.recommendations The company should pay attention to the cash dividend payments in previous years as an independent variable that affects the current year's cash dividend. Because the company will be attractive to shareholders whose preferences are related to dividend payout and stability. Investors want a stable dividend as a source of income embedded in shares that are paid the same amount of dividends every period. For further researchers, it is better to add the number of samples in the observation period of 6 years or 7 years, adding other variables such as Analyzing the relationship between Net profit, Operating Cash Flow with cash dividends, or Effect of accounting profit, cash profit, Free Cash Flow, Operating Cash Flow, leverage and current ratio to cash dividend. and can expand the research sample, not only to manufacturing companies but to more than one type of company.

Authors: Youwen Zhang
Published: January 2022

Based on the dynamic evaluation theory, combined with the characteristics of English language teaching and teaching objectives, this paper constructed a dynamic evaluation mode for the "Advanced English" course. The evaluation mode divided Advanced English teaching into four teaching sections: pre-class online self-learning, classroom partner interaction internalization, after-class study notes evaluation and feedback, and subject paper project refinement and improvement; through the establishment of a " curriculum learning portfolio", evaluation runs through the entire teaching process, promotes the organic combination of teaching and evaluation, and realizes the cultivation of students' individual cognitive strategies and the stimulation of their learning potential. The dynamic evaluation mode of Advanced English course plays a positive role in shaping the cognitive structure of students and developing other related course evaluations.
Multi-Class Retinopathy classification in Fundus Image using Deep Learning Approaches
Authors: Wankhade Nisha , Bhoyar Kishor
Published: January 2022

Retinopathy classification from fundus images put a lot of issues in front of ophthalmologists. Convolution and deep neural network models open the doors to handle such challenges and achieve great success in computer vision, but it is reaching its computational limits. This leads to the rethinking of less computationally intensive network architectures for computer vision problems. In this work we have used a RFMiD dataset, which is challenging for machine learning researchers due its multiclass, multi-labelled, and imbalanced nature. In the proposed work three models are developed to classify the retinopathy from fundus images. The first model inherits the properties of the VGG Net and Inception Net. This results in significant reduction in computational complexity compared with VGG Net and Inception net models. The second model is an improvised version of the previous one with an increase in depth that yields notable improvement in results, while maintaining the lower number of computations. The third model uses a bidirectional LSTM model as a classifier with 192 hand-crafted features. This model gives 0.985 AUC, with a precision of 0.98, and recall of 0.9 respectively.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Colorectal Cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer in the world. The risk of suffering from colorectal cancer in the first degree relatives is two to eight times higher than the ordinary people of the society. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge of the first degree relatives of the clients regarding the risk factors and signs of colorectal cancer and colonoscopy screening tests.

Methodology: The present study was a descriptive cross-sectional study. In this study, 116 of the first degree relatives of patients were selected through simple random sampling. A researcher-made questionnaire was utilized to collect information about warning signs and risk factors. The reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α= 0.70) was calculated and then face and content validity were assessed by the professors. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software version 23 and using descriptive statistics (mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (T-test and ANOVA).

Results: The level of samples' knowledge about the risk signs of colorectal cancer was higher than the mean level (36.15 ± 8.46). The highest level of awareness about their (positive / negative) effects on colorectal cancer was related to consumption of vegetables, fruits (2.82 ± 0.65), and Aspirin consumption (1.34 ± 0.62). There wasn't a statistically significant difference between age, gender and education with the level of awareness of first degree of relatives but there was significant difference between the occupation of people and the level of awareness (P=0/005). The level of awareness of first degree of relatives about colonoscopy test was above the average level. (24.65 ± 4.57). The most knowledge about the nature of colonoscopy (2.78 ± 0.52) and the least awareness about the vitality of the operation were reported of the people above 50 (1.76 ± 0.74). There wasn't a statistically significant difference between the level of awareness of performing the colonoscopy and demographic characteristics of gender, age, education, and occupation.

Conclusion: It is necessary to use new methods and strategies to maintain the available status and to raise the awareness of all people in the community regarding the signs and symptoms, especially the use of colorectal cancer screening to manage the initial programs of prevention and treatment.

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Vaginismus is one of the sexual dysfunctions in women which is associated with pain during sexual intercourse and affects the sexual relation of couples. The purpose of this study was to explain the experience of men whose wives are suffering from vaginismus. Methodology: This study is a phenomenological research, with the Van Manen’s approach. The participants consisted of seven men, whose wives was suffering from vaginismus, selected through the purposive sampling method and questioned in semi-structured interviews. The acquired data awas analyzed by Van Manen’s approach. Results: Two main themes extracted from data analysis: "the shadow of the disorder in couple's life." and "the encountering approach with the disorder". Each theme is included in several subthemes. Conclusion: The findings indicated that men who living with wives with vaginismus are faced with serious challenges in various dimensions of life. The process of following-up and treatment are repeatedly disrupted by faulty diagnosis and lack of specialized therapists. This makes to be challenged encounterance approach, with this disorder, and the duration of the conflict with vaginismus takes a long time. The main reason for these challenges is the lack of information and knowledge about the vaginismus. This can be due to the taboo of sexual education to the children, especially for girls in Iran.

Nowadays SCADA systems are used for Home automation, Greenhouse automation, E-agriculture etc. Basically these SCADA applications include Level Monitoring, Light & Climate Control, Security & Surveillance, control and manage spatially separated utility sites and Control of Shutters & Doors and so on. With the arrival of new hardware and software technologies here a system is proposed which can perform the similar SCADA applications at lower cost and lower maintenances. This paper proposes a viable solution for SCADA like applications which include Water level monitoring, Oil level monitoring & Displacement control by using a microcontroller board and .NET interfacing. This system can not only perform these industrial applications but also proposes fine web based solution to access all these acquired data and equipments. Here a remote based application is used which will allow the user to access the data/equipments in industries via internet, it also overcome the problem of weak encryption used by the SCADA. In future this system using .NET platform may replace these SCADA solutions.

Since pesticide exposure has acute health effects on agricultural workers and their communities, the research objectives were to describe the factors contributing to acute pesticide poisoning among mixed-crop agricultural workers in Thailand to guide preventive efforts. A cross-sectional survey using a purposive sampling method was conducted among 102 agricultural workers cultivating rice and ornamental plants in Nakhon Nayok province. Each subject was asked to complete a questionnaire on demographics, symptoms and potential associated factors. The questionnaire had a reliability coefficient range of 0.68 - 0.73. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the factors associated with the signs and symptoms of acute health effects from pesticide poisoning. The results showed 56.9 % of the participants to be males with an average age of 51.65 years and 88.2 % to have graduated from primary school. Seventy-eight percent of the participants had experienced acute pesticide poisoning within the month preceding data collection. The most common mild signs of the acute health effects of pesticide poisoning were hot, stinging pain on the skin (56.3 %), nasal irritation (56.3 %) and dry throat (38.8 %). The most common moderate symptoms were nausea/vomiting (11.8 %), muscle fatigue/weakness (15.0 %) and chest pain (15.0 %); some workers experienced the severe acute health effect of unconsciousness (1.3 %). The factors contributing to acute pesticide poisoning were age, years of pesticide use and pesticide poisoning prevention behaviors, all of which were significantly correlated with acute pesticide poisoning among the workers (p < 0.05). The findings indicate a need for promoting safe and healthy practice for the mixed-crop agricultural workers in the community. However, recall bias might have occurred from the ability to recall signs and symptoms of agricultural workers.

Automatic Watering System for Oil Palm Seeds
Authors: Ardiyanto Suriyo , Azmi Zulfian , Hafiz Afdal Al
Published: January 2022

Nursery of oil palm is a period of preparing oil palm for approximately 3 months. However, in watering still using the manual method, this method still has a weakness, namely by pulling the water hose so that farmers of oil palm have to work hard and drain energy and also take a long time. From these problems, a solution was made by making an automatic palm seed watering system using the rtc module as the scheduling of the watering system and NodeMCU as the brain of the system's main process and using the blynk application as a notification output in the form of messages. As a result, the automatic watering system can work optimally if the time of the watering process has been determined and the system is able to send notifications to the blynk and display messages on the results of the watering process, with this automatic watering system it can help the work of oil palm nursery farmers.

Published: January 2022

Background: Intussusception is one of the most frequent causes of acute bowel obstruction in infants and toddlers. Abdominal sonogram is highly specific, accurate and is the first line diagnostic modality. The primary treatment options are non-operative hydrostatic or pneumatic reduction. In our institution, we use normal saline for reduction of intussusception under ultrasound guidance (USGR). The aim of the study is to analyse the clinical pattern and treatment outcome of intussusception.
Methodology: Retrospective analysis of all cases admitted with intussusception in our department during 2014-2018 was done.
Results: 785 cases (527 males: 258 females) with a mean age of 25 months and median of 16 months had abdominal pain (92.5%), vomiting (59%) and blood in stools (32%) as the predominant symptoms. 710/785 cases (90.4%) underwent successful USGR and 75/785 of the failed cases underwent surgery. Age group < 12 months, presence of blood in stools irrespective of its duration and prolonged vomiting >48 hours were found to be significant factors for failed USGR. Vomiting and blood in stools were found to be significantly higher in children <12 months of age (p<0.005), whereas pathological lead points were more frequent in children >3 years of age.
Conclusion: With a high success rate and no significant complication rate, USGR is an effective non-operative treatment modality for intussusception. Age group <12 months, prolonged vomiting and presence of blood in stool were found to affect the success rate of hydrostatic reduction.

Keywords: Intussusception, saline, ultrasound, hydrostatic reduction.
