Agrandir, maintenir ou reconstruire ? Projets et débats relatifs à l’église Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours à Péruwelz au XIX e siècle
Authors: Baudry Antoine
Published: July 2022

Bâtie à la fin du xix e  siècle, l’église néogothique Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours à Péruwelz remplace une chapelle érigée au xvii e  siècle, épicentre d’un important pèlerinage marial. Le présent article retrace les débats et les projets préliminaires à cette reconstruction d’envergure, en s’intéressant de près aux différents protagonistes impliqués dans le processus d’intervention, aux intérêts qu’ils défendent et aux initiatives qu’ils mettent en place. Cette étude de cas met en lumière les mécanismes institutionnels régissant l’évolution et la résolution d’un important dossier patrimonial belge de la seconde moitié du xix e  siècle. Il revisite le projet final en tant que véritable construction sociétale régie par les compromis, les rapports de force, les pressions politiques et idéologiques et les relations humaines.
La relation entre décentralisation budgétaire et confiance dans le gouvernement : constatations faites à partir du cas sud-coréen
Authors: Kim Soojin , Lee Yunsoo , Kim Taehee
Published: July 2022

À ce jour, de nombreux pays en développement ont continué à mettre en place des systèmes de gouvernance décentralisés sur le plan budgétaire pour répondre plus efficacement aux besoins diversifiés des résidents locaux et mieux agir dans le sens de l’intérêt général. Cependant, on sait peu de choses sur le lien entre la décentralisation budgétaire et la confiance. En se concentrant empiriquement sur le cas sud-coréen, la présente étude examine comment une gouvernance financièrement décentralisée pourrait accroître la fiabilité du gouvernement non seulement au niveau national, mais aussi au niveau local. Les résultats de la régression multiniveau et des analyses de données de panel confirment en partie les résultats des études sur la décentralisation pro-budgétaire en ce que la croissance de l’autonomie budgétaire locale est positivement et significativement liée à la confiance du public dans le gouvernement. Plus précisément, nous constatons qu’à mesure que la décentralisation budgétaire s’améliore, les niveaux de confiance dans le gouvernement local augmentent également. De plus, nos résultats montrent qu’en termes d’amélioration des niveaux de confiance du public dans le gouvernement, l’impact de la décentralisation des recettes a tendance à être plus important que celui de la décentralisation des dépenses. Cette constatation implique que le fait de permettre aux gouvernements locaux d’avoir leurs propres sources de revenus plutôt qu’une autonomie dans les dépenses peut être un moyen de mieux répondre aux besoins de la population à long terme. Remarques à l’intention des praticiens Premièrement, à mesure que la décentralisation budgétaire s’améliore, les niveaux de confiance dans le gouvernement local augmentent également. Deuxièmement, permettre aux gouvernements locaux d’avoir leurs propres sources de revenus plutôt qu’une autonomie dans les dépenses peut être un moyen de mieux répondre aux besoins de la population à long terme. Troisièmement, les politiques gouvernementales devraient viser à offrir des avantages aux citoyens dans leur propre intérêt, par exemple en assurant des prestations efficaces ou en améliorant la qualité des services et programmes publics susceptibles d’être perçus positivement par les électeurs. Cela pourrait encourager les citoyens à s’engager dans les sphères actuelles du secteur public d’une manière qui affecte positivement leur confiance et leurs attentes à l’égard des politiques gouvernementales et des bureaucrates.
Vers une harmonisation comptable en Europe : une enquête multinationale auprès des experts budgétaires
Authors: Frintrup Markus , Schmidthuber Lisa , Hilgers Dennis
Published: July 2022

Les graves problèmes budgétaires, la comparabilité insuffisante des informations financières et les demandes croissantes d’un renforcement de l’imputabilité obligent les gouvernements nationaux et les organisations internationales à modifier leurs régimes comptables actuels et à évoluer vers un système de pratiques comptables normalisées. Étant donné que les normes comptables internationales du secteur public n’ont pas suffi à pousser l’Europe vers l’harmonisation comptable ces dernières années, la Commission européenne vise actuellement à suggérer l’adoption de normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public. Sur la base d’une enquête multinationale menée auprès d’experts budgétaires, le présent article examine les perceptions des experts budgétaires à l’égard de l’adoption des normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public. Les résultats comparent les attitudes à l’égard des nouvelles pratiques comptables et les attentes en matière de réforme des normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public sur une base comparative, et établissent un lien avec le système comptable national actuel et les facteurs contextuels. Les résultats empiriques indiquent une grande variation entre les pays en termes d’attentes concernant la réforme des normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public. L’étude se termine par une analyse des implications des résultats pour la recherche comptable internationale, l’harmonisation comptable et le développement d’un système comptable européen. Remarques à l’intention des praticiens À ce stade précoce du développement des normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public, il peut être utile pour les praticiens et les professionnels de comprendre les facteurs associés à la décision des pays de les adopter. La présente étude considère les coûts des technologies de l’information comme un obstacle potentiel à la mise en œuvre des normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public. Les politiciens et les normalisateurs pourraient en tenir compte lors de l’élaboration des normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public. En outre, cet article révèle qu’encourager l’introduction volontaire de la comptabilité d’exercice dans la première étape du développement des normes comptables européennes pour le secteur public pourrait être l’approche appropriée de la Commission européenne.
L’accès à l’eau potable en Afrique subsaharienne : la doctrine de l’État-promoteur est-elle pertinente ?
Authors: Debela Bacha Kebede , Bouckaert Geert , Troupin Steve
Published: July 2022

Sur la base de données provenant de 14 pays d’Afrique subsaharienne, cette étude examine la pertinence de la doctrine de l’État-promoteur pour améliorer l’accès à des sources d’eau potable améliorées et réduire les inégalités entre zones urbaines-rurales dans l’accès à des sources améliorées et à des habitations raccordées. Bien que l’accès à des sources d’eau améliorées et l’inégalité urbain-rural semblent meilleurs dans les États-promoteurs que dans les États non-promoteurs, nous n’avons pas trouvé d’éléments suffisants pour affirmer que l’approche de l’État-promoteur est la meilleure option. L’influence de la corruption est, de manière inattendue, plus élevée dans les États-promoteurs que dans les autres. De plus, ni les États-promoteurs ni les États non-promoteurs n’investissaient de manière significative dans l’accès aux programmes d’approvisionnement en eau potable. Nous constatons que le taux de croissance de la population totale est le prédicteur le plus important, plutôt que le type de régime. Nous identifions et examinons les autres facteurs qui expliquent la variation entre tous les échantillons d’États-promoteurs et d’États non-promoteurs, et passons en revue les implications. Remarques à l’intention des praticiens Il existe des variations importantes dans l’accès à des sources d’eau potable améliorées, ainsi que des inégalités entre les zones urbaines et rurales dans l’accès à des sources améliorées et à des habitations raccordées entre les États-promoteurs et les États non-promoteurs. La pertinence de la doctrine de l’État-promoteur pour améliorer l’accès à l’eau potable, réduire les inégalités socioéconomiques dans l’accès à l’eau potable et atteindre les objectifs de développement durable en Afrique subsaharienne est ambiguë. Nous conseillons de renforcer une bureaucratie wébérienne fonctionnelle et de promouvoir la décentralisation politique.
La trahison de la thérapie familiale à l’encontre de l’enfant
Authors: Andolfi Maurizio , Bardou Dominique
Published: July 2022

Dans cet article, Maurizio Andolfi voudrait souligner combien dans de nombreux endroits du monde l’enfant a été négligé dans le champ de la thérapie systémique. Ironiquement, Nathan Ackerman, le fondateur de la thérapie familiale, a ouvert le mouvement de la thérapie familiale à l’ enfant , et ses idées et son travail clinique avec les enfants et leurs familles dans la séance étaient remarquables. Malheureusement, à la fois les théoriciens des systèmes du Mental Research Institute de Palo Alto et les pionniers d’orientation psychodynamique comme Bowen, Framo, Boszormenyi-Nagy, etc. s’intéressaient davantage à la description des « adultes » : le premier groupe a mis en lumière les modes de communication des adultes, tandis que le second groupe se concentrait sur leur différenciation du soi par rapport à la famille d’origine. Mais où était l’enfant dans leur théorisation ? Les enfants ont surtout été observés et traités du fait de leurs problèmes, et beaucoup moins pris en compte pour leurs ressources incroyables au sein de la famille. Dans cet article, Andolfi décrit comment se débarrasser d’une approche de protection/contrôle à l’égard des enfants, en leur redonnant une voix et une compétence relationnelle dans le scénario thérapeutique. Au lieu de mettre une étiquette sur l’enfant, l’auteur montre comment le respecter dans sa compétence et prendre soin de ses parents, l’engageant activement dans la thérapie comme un guide sûr dans l’exploration du monde familial.
Management of urban air mobility for sustainable and smart cities: Vertiport networks using a user-centred design
Authors: Gouveia Marta , Dias Veruska , Silva Jorge
Published: July 2022

Purpose: Urban mobility is all about people as well as the climate change issue is a human issue. Thus, this research envisions to provide conditions and practical tools through the innovation in urban mobility by bringing urban air mobility (UAM) to cities worldwide, contributing to change lives for the better and reversing the global issue of climate change.Design/methodology/approach: This study goes through two phases: social feasibility and technical feasibility. Moreover, it incorporates a user-centred design based on the systematic engagement of people in the decision-making process alongside a parallel interaction with several stakeholders. An innovative roadmap based on real data and feedback is obtained to implement a vertiport network in Lisbon, Portugal.Findings: By tackling people and stakeholders’ concerns related to vertiport networks implementation (e.g., safety, security, environmental, travel costs, and noise pollution concerns), the people’s needs (e.g., time savings, contribution to less air pollution, enjoyment, and sending and purchasing merchandise) and stakeholders' needs (e.g., adaptation related to airspace and ground integration and capacity, enabling technology, and real-time update and share of data) might be addressed, as by-products. Plus, we could minimize concerns by maximizing opportunities, like optimizing the airspace architecture and enhancing current airspace operations, a chance for businesses to develop on-demand, innovative, and green technologies, and higher employment opportunities. Finally, we have discovered that driving positive global change requires inspiring others by addressing people’s needs and concerns and, by then, calling them to action.Originality/value: UAM’s market reveals a gap in engaging this technology with the people, which is the key enabler to success in the long run. Empathic communication is, therefore, an integral tool to bring urban air mobility to our lives and our world. So, this investigation thrives on humanizing technology to narrow the gap between the science community, public authorities, the industry, and consumers.
The stochastic delayed Cucker-Smale system in a harmonic potential field
Authors: Du Linglong , Zhou Xinyun
Published: July 2022

We propose a delayed Cucker-Smale system with multiplicative noise in a harmonic potential field and investigate its emergent dynamics. It exhibits a collective behavior "flocking and concentration" if the corresponding non-delay stochastic system admits the almost surely collective behavior and the delay is sufficiently small. We provide theoretical framework and numerical simulations.

The Ka’ulayawaa festivals among the Wayùu. Exploring continuities and variations in forms, meanings and contexts through ethnographic sources
Authors: Mancuso Alessandro
Published: July 2022

In this paper I review and compare the main sources of information about the ka’ulayawaa festivals among the Wayùu, an Amerindian people inhabiting in the semiarid Guajira peninsula (Northern Colombia and Venezuela). For their peculiar mix of songs, dances, imitative plays and competitive games, inserted into a same festive framework, these festivals are particularly interesting to be studied as expressive metacommentaries (in the sense of Turner) of Wayùu social structures, cultural values and worldview. Nevertheless, they have not so far been the subject of a specific anthropological analysis, also because they ceased to be celebrated around the middle of the twentieth century, that is, before the beginning of the first professional ethnographic studies on this population. Any attempt of “reconstruction” of the form, meaning and context the ka’ulayawaa festivals, and of their place in the Wayùu “socio-cosmology” must take in account not only the convergences and the divergences in the descriptions present in the ethnographic documentation available, but also, and above all, the continuous processes of change that have affected the Wayùu, at least in the last five centuries and, with an accelerated pace, in the last hundred years, and to which their sociocultural forms dynamically adapted. Most historical and ethnographic sources argued that in the ka’ulayawaa festivals “theatrical” expressiveness prevailed over symbolic efficacy, and “playfulness” over “rituality”. However, there are very strong and complex relationships between this “festive” and “playful” character of the ka’ulayawaa festivals and a series of fundamental cosmological oppositions of the Wayùu worldview, as described in the ethnographic literature. From the analysis that I have conducted, it can be said that the imitative and competitive games performed during the ka’ulayawaa festivals conformed and, at the same time, “played”, with these socio-cosmological oppositions and the order that they imply. This argument is reinforced by the most recent historical and ethnographical sources on these festivals, which highlight how their good outcome was perceived and considered among many Wayùu people as a “serious matter” and a source of concern and care on the part of all participants, especially the organizers, to the point of requiring prior intervention and approval of superhuman entities. It is therefore appropriate to take in account the coexistence of these traits in the ka’ulayawaa festivals in view of their possible analysis from the point of view of current theoretical reflections in anthropology on the relationship between rituality, playfulness and cosmology.
“Ganpati Bappa Morya!” Lo spazio del sacro migrante nella festa di Ganesh a Palermo
Authors: Giorgianni Eugenio
Published: July 2022

L’articolo esamina con un approccio partecipativo la festa di Ganesh e il ruolo che gioca nell’appaesamento di alcuni migranti mauriziani a Palermo, mediando tra il tessuto urbano e la comunità migrante. Il Ganpati celebra la mobilità, sia geografica che sociale, dei devoti mauriziani, connessi alle proprie reti affettive transnazionali grazie all’uso dei social media. La comunità devozionale ha reagito alle limitazioni dovute alla pandemia da Covid-19 con un processo di “domesticizzazione” della festa, che ha preservato gli aspetti fondamentali del rito. La festa si sviluppa attraverso una rete relazionale che coinvolge tutta la comunità grazie alla solidarietà collettiva delle donne; d’altro canto, il prestigio rituale attiva la competizione e catalizza nel contesto festivo le fratture e le intersezioni del gruppo. Gli spazi devozionali induisti vengono creati rifunzionalizzando segmenti marginali della città, e producono reazioni ambivalenti da parte del resto della cittadinanza.
L’Algérie des Oulémas
Authors: Courreye Charlotte
Published: July 2022

À travers une histoire sociale de l’Association des oulémas musulmans algériens (AOMA), de sa fondation en 1931 à sa réactivation dans les années 1990, ce livre retrace des débats toujours actuels dans l’Algérie contemporaine : la construction de l’État, la définition de l’islam et la place de la langue arabe.

Fondé sur des sources en langues arabe et française, et sur un travail de terrain, L'Algérie des oulémas questionne les clichés liés à l’héritage de l’AOMA. Les activités éducatives et religieuses de l’association à la période coloniale, puis son positionnement dans la guerre d’indépendance ont conditionné l’insertion de ses membres dans l’Algérie postcoloniale. Les parcours de ses dirigeants donnent à voir les stratégies mises en œuvre après la disparition formelle de l’association à l’indépendance. Si certains des cadres de l’AOMA participent au gouvernement du parti unique FLN, travaillent au sein de l’Éducation na tionale ou œuvrent à construire les bases de l’islam d’État, d’autres contestent publiquement le pouvoir socialiste au nom même de l’islam, suivis par les mouvements islamistes naissants des années 1980. Les enjeux culturels, politiques, sociaux et économiques de l’étude de l’AOMA et de son héritage sont replacés dans l’histoire du monde arabe et musulman.
Faire société
Authors: David Thomas , Heiniger Alix
Published: July 2022

Faire société, c’est l’ambition des acteurs et des actrices au cœur de cet ouvrage. Par leur engagement philanthropique, ils tissent un lien avec les classes populaires et cherchent à transformer la société. Leurs origines sont plus variées que ne le laissent penser les recherches qui les présentent souvent comme issus des hautes sphères. Cette diversité apparaît aussi dans les motivations à l’origine de l’engagement charitable. Voie d’accès aux débats publics pour les femmes et les étrangers privés de droits politiques, la philanthropie attire également les élites conservatrices genevoises qui ont perdu la mainmise sur l’État à la suite de la Révolution de 1846, ainsi que les représentants du nouveau pouvoir.

Ce livre n’examine pas seulement le discours des philanthropes, il analyse également leurs pratiques sur le terrain et leurs stratégies qui visent à inculquer aux classes populaires des valeurs qui leur sont chères − l’épargne, la responsabilité individuelle, l’ardeur au travail ou la répartition genrée des rôles. En combinant méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives, cet ouvrage restitue la philanthropie genevoise dans sa complexité. Saisie dans sa globalité, à l’échelle d’une ville en pleine mutation, l’action philanthropique se révèle un excellent observatoire de la société, et ce d’autant plus que les Genevois sont très actifs dans les réseaux réformateurs transnationaux.

Alors que la philanthropie connaît de nos jours un regain d’intérêt marqué, ce livre offre des clés pour comprendre les ambiguïtés des discours et des pratiques liés à ce phénomène.
Islam, réforme et colonisation
Authors: Jomier Augustin
Published: July 2022

Comment écrire une histoire des temps coloniaux à partir de points de vue d’Algériens ? Quels rapports établir entre la colonisation et le réformisme musulman, problème majeur de l’histoire contemporaine de l’islam ? C’est à ces deux questions, aussi centrales qu’irrésolues, que s’attaque cette étude sur l’ibadisme aux XIXe et XXe siècles.
Ce livre retrace la trajectoire de la minorité des musulmans berbères et ibadites du Mzab depuis l’occupation de cette région du nord du Sahara par la France, en 1882, jusqu’à l’indépendance de l’Algérie, en 1962. Il montre la manière dont, face à la domination coloniale, des savants musulmans – les oulémas – s’emparent de l’idée de réforme en islam, pour en faire une arme de conquête du leadership et de reconfiguration de la religion et de la société locales. Par-delà le face-à-face entre la France et l’Algérie, circuler entre Le Caire, Tunis, Alger et le Mzab permet à ces lettrés de trouver de nouveaux modèles politiques, d’opérer de fortes ruptures culturelles et de s’adapter à d’importants changements socio-économiques. Trois générations successives d’oulémas repensent l’ibadisme comme foi et comme pratique et, surtout, redéfinissent les contours de leur communauté face à l’occupation étrangère, tout en lui ménageant une place dans la nation algérienne en construction. Très minoritaires (1 % à peine de la population), les ibadites se révèlent un observatoire unique des bouleversements vécus par les Algériens à la période coloniale.
Au terme d’un patient travail de terrain et en archives (de langues arabe et française), Augustin Jomier renouvelle la question du réformisme musulman, révélant l’existence de sa variante ibadite et, plus largement, la métamorphose coloniale de l’islam. Il montre surtout qu’écrire l’histoire de l’Algérie en observant l’évolution des institutions sociales et culturelles antérieures à la colonisation permet de restituer la capacité d’action des colonisés, leurs manières de donner sens aux cadres coloniaux et de se réinventer dans ce contexte.
Distinguer entre savoir critique et opinion critique : quelle posture de neutralité pour l’enseignant en EMC ?
Authors: Andro Gaid
Published: July 2022

L’ensemble des rapports du CNESCO (Conseil national d’évaluation du système scolaire) et des enquêtes menées auprès des enseignants sur la mise en œuvre pédagogique de l’EMC (enseignement moral et civique) dans les classes établissent un même constat : il existe un décalage notoire entre l’investissement politique et civique exprimé par l’institution sur cette discipline et la réalité perçue par les enseignants et les élèves concernant les apprentissages réellement effectués. Cet article vise à éclairer ce décalage en identifiant les tensions implicites à l’œuvre chez les enseignants confrontés aux enjeux civiques et didactiques de l’EMC. Notre hypothèse est que l’embarras des enseignants et a fortiori des enseignants débutants réside dans la difficulté à distinguer d’une part la posture de neutralité professionnelle nécessaire à un enseignement civique qui assume sa perspective critique, d’autre part, et de manière corollaire, à identifier le savoir réellement en jeu dans un enseignement détaché du cadre scientifique disciplinaire. A partir de l’observation d’un groupe d’étudiants de master 1 MEEF en situation de préparation de cours, notre travail tente de circonscrire le cadre professionnel de la neutralité enseignante en EMC en opérant une distinction entre le savoir critique et l’opinion critique dans les différents temps de mise en œuvre dans la classe.
La vie scolaire comme espace d’éducation entre 1960 et 1968 : liberté, conformité, neutralité ?
Authors: Chauvigné Céline
Published: July 2022

Le système scolaire français et sa forme scolaire traditionnelle (Vincent, 1980), se sont vus quelque peu bouleversés lors de l'ouverture de l'école à un plus grand nombre d'élèves dans un souci de démocratisation puis de massification faisant de l'ordre, de la discipline et du tout éducatif une vision obsolète (Prost 2007) ne pouvant plus convenir aux nouveaux publics avides de liberté et d'affirmations d'eux-mêmes comme sujets de droit. Dans ce contexte, l'apparition d’un contre-modèle, sous forme d'hétérotopie (Foucault, 1967), la vie scolaire fait sa rentrée dans l'école comme espace de vie et de compensation en dehors de la classe, classe qui reste l'élément central de la conception de l'école française. Comment alors concilier ces deux modèles dans le corset étroit de la forme scolaire ? Comment cette nouvelle donne, dans son opposition à certaines orientations de l'école républicaine de Ferry, peut-elle trouver sa place dans le système éducatif ? Nous nous proposons, à travers l'étude de contenu, (Bardin 2007) d'une revue professionnelle relative à la vie scolaire de revenir sur le projet idéologique de l'école, d'observer et d'analyser la possible place d'une vie et d'un engagement des élèves au sein des établissements du second degré.

Conspiracy Theories About the Pandemic of COVID-19 and Their Function on the Greek Internet
Authors: Kakampoura Rea , Nounanaki Aphrodite Lidia
Published: July 2022

Conspiracy theories are a folk narrative genre that tends to arise whenever crises occur; thus, inevitably, these kinds of theories appeared on the pandemic of COVID-19 as well. Their spread used to be done through magazines with relevant subject matter and through the word of mouth. The internet has changed this treaty because, by giving space in the dissemination of any information, it seems to have enhanced the widest spread of this narrative genre too. So, in this chapter, the impact of the internet on the genre will be highlighted through a long-term digital folklore research on the Greek internet. Through the case study of conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic, in the context of digital folklore, this chapter intents to highlight the impact of the internet on the genre, its spread, and its function, as well as the way the internet users' uptake the genre.
Digital Narrative as an Educational Tool for Cultural Heritage Teaching
Authors: Karantalis Nikolaos , Koukopoulos Dimitrios , Koutromanos George
Published: July 2022

Our age is unquestionably characterized by the dominance of technology and digital media in all manifestations of human action. Inevitably, the debate over the use of these media becomes more intense in areas that are extremely important for the intellectual development of man, such as the field of culture and education. This reality leads educational systems to adapt curricula to new developments, so that digital media is now a key educational tool for many courses. Especially in the subject of history and especially of local history and folklore, digital storytelling can be the connecting link between the old and the new. This can be very helpful when the lesson plans are aimed at bringing students in touch with cultural heritage, both material and intangible. The present study aims to show that digital storytelling can be used creatively in teaching a local history and folklore course.
Patients’ and Caregivers’ Perceptions of Intensive Care Unit Hospitalization and Recovery
Authors: Kovaleva Mariya A. , Jones Abigail C. , Kimpel Christine Cleary , Lauderdale Jana L. , Sevin Carla M. , Boehm Leanne M.
Published: July 2022

Background

Telehealth-based intensive care unit recovery clinics (ICU-RCs) can increase access to post-ICU recovery care for patients and their families. It is crucial to understand patients’ and caregivers’ experience of illness and recovery to build patient- and family-centered ICU-RCs.

Objective

To explore patients’ and caregivers’ perceptions of ICU hospitalization and recovery.

Methods

Individual semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with 14 patients and 12 caregivers who participated in a telehealth ICU-RC. This study was guided by qualitative description methodology. Conventional content analysis was used to analyze the data.

Results

Patients described their ICU hospitalization as scary, traumatic, and lonely. Participants’ feedback on hospitalization ranged from praise to criticism. Patients wanted more realistic and detailed prognostication about post-ICU recovery and more physical therapy after discharge. Patients strongly valued the mental health component of ICU-RC visits, which contrasted with the scant attention paid to mental health in other postdischarge health care settings. Their knowledge about post-ICU recovery and connectedness to a primary care provider varied.

Conclusions

Examining patients’ and caregivers’ perceptions of ICU hospitalization and recovery highlights ICU-RC components that can be strengthened to support patient- and family-centered recovery. The ICU-RC staff should invite patients to share feedback about their ICU stay; give a timely, realistic prognosis for recovery; offer mental health consultations; provide physical therapy; and partner with patients and their caregivers to develop and deliver post-ICU care.
Meeting the Challenges of Establishing Intensive Care Unit Follow-up Clinics
Authors: Butcher Brad W. , Eaton Tammy L. , Montgomery-Yates Ashley A. , Sevin Carla M.
Published: July 2022

Intensive care unit follow-up clinics are becoming an increasingly widespread intervention to facilitate the physical, cognitive, psychiatric, and social rehabilitation of survivors of critical illness who have post–intensive care syndrome. Developing and sustaining intensive care unit follow-up clinics can pose significant challenges, and clinics need to be tailored to the physical, personnel, and financial resources available at a given institution. Although no standard recipe guarantees a successful intensive care unit aftercare program, emerging clinics will need to address a common set of hurdles, including securing an adequate space; assembling an invested, multidisciplinary staff; procuring the necessary financial, information technology, and physical stuff; using the proper screening tools to identify patients most likely to benefit and to accurately identify disabilities during the visit; and selling it to colleagues, hospital administrators, and the community at large.
Assessment of Mobile-Based Extension Service Usage among Medium- Scale Tea Growers in Kandy District, Sri Lanka
Authors: Gunapala K. G. M. J. W. , Dissanayeke U. I. , Munasinghe C. E.
Published: July 2022

Tea (Camellia sinensis (L.) Kuntze) is one of the major foreign exchange-earning agribusinesses in Sri Lanka, where several mobile-based extension services have emerged to deliver information to tea growers. This study has focused on the present status of mobile-based extension services, perception, and factors affecting the usage of mobile-based extension services by medium-scale tea growers. A survey was conducted over the telephone using a random sample of 56 medium-scale tea growers in the Kandy district. The majority were above 50 years old (77%), and educated up to the advanced level (77%). The majority (59%) were part-time tea growers, having experience (75%) in tea cultivation for ten (10) years or more. All respondents owned mobile phones, and the majority (89%) had smartphone access to the Internet. According to the perception of users, current mobile-based extension services have a problem with knowledge improvement. The results of the Pearson Chi-Square test showed that the awareness of mobile-based extension services was significantly associated with education level χ2 (4, N=56) = 9.951, p< 0.05. The usage showed significant associations with the education level, χ2 (4, N=56) = 12.245, p< 0.05 and Internet access χ2 (2, N=56) = 9.148, p< 0.01. The study concludes the necessity to improve current mobile-based extension services to be more oriented toward technology transfer and develop a single Information and Communication Technology platform to support all media formats for information sharing among medium-scale tea growers.
Sub-Acromion Impingement Syndrome
Authors: Dutta Madhumita , Poddar Ratnadeep
Published: July 2022

Introduction:

Among various factors responsible for the development of chronic shoulder pain worldwide, the role of scapula, as a bony factor, is very important. This study focuses on evaluating the scapular shape and contour as a determinant of sub-acromion impingement syndrome. This was a cross-sectional observational study conducted on dry bones.

Material and Methods:

Dry scapulae (42 right sided and 38 left sided) were studied by taking digital photographs in different views and analyzing various parameters (critical shoulder angle (CSA), glenoid inclination, shape of acromion process, etc.) using ImageJ analyzer. Results were analyzed using measures of central tendency, and statistical significance was analyzed by measuring P values with the help of SPSS software (v25).

Results:

There were 40% Type I, 38.75% Type II, and 21.25% Type III scapulae, respectively. The Type I and III scapulae showed significant variations on the basis of various acromion overhangs (anterior overhang was 9.03 mm and 11.08 mm in Types I and III, respectively, while for the lateral overhang, the values were 9.73 mm and 6.25 mm in Types I and III, respectively) and angles (lateral acromion angle was 79.5° and 71.9° for Types I and III, respectively, whereas the coraco-acromion angle was 37° and 30.8° in Types I and III, respectively). The glenoid inclination and CSA were also significantly variable between all three types of scapulae.

Discussion and Conclusion:

The scapular morphology plays a pivotal role which can be extrapolated on a radiological basis in pertinent patients to determine the chances of developing pathological shoulders in future.

Published: July 2022

Introduction:

The sternalis muscle is a rare muscular variation of the anterior thoracic wall. When present, it can confuse the radiologists as a breast mass on mammograms and pose as a challenge and opportunity at the same time for surgeons during mastectomies or breast augmentation procedures. This study aims to investigate the frequency and anatomy of the sternalis muscle on a large Turkish sample.

Material and Methods:

Following ethical approval, the presence and anatomy of the sternalis muscle was investigated on thoracic computed tomography (CT) scans of 8408 patients.

Results:

The sternalis muscle was present in 263 (3.1%) patients. The presence of the muscle was unilateral on the right side in 104 (39.5%), unilateral on the left side in 96 (36.5%), and bilateral in 63 (24%) patients. In 326 hemithoraces, Type 1, Type 2, and Type 3 sternalis muscles were observed in 79.2%, 14.4%, and 6.4% of the patients, respectively.

Discussion and Conclusion:

The frequency of the sternalis muscle among the Turkish population was relatively lower compared to the previous studies on different ethnicities. In addition, CT provides a detailed evaluation of the muscle.

Authors: Johnson W M S , Koshy Jinu Merlin , Rajasundram Archana
Published: July 2022

Introduction:

Wrong postures change the body mechanics, causing pressure on joint surfaces, strain to ligaments, and skeletal muscle disadvantage. Simple faulty posture is one of the main reasons for musculoskeletal pain, especially back pain and neck pain. Based on the understanding that aberrations in posture can cause pain and injury, training and education for posture correction through training have been used as treatment approaches. The intent of the present study was to analyze posture and the severity of postural abnormalities using plumb line and to identify if these abnormalities are associated with pain among professionals.

Material and Methods:

The posture of 120 participants from four occupational groups was analyzed using a plumb line in relation to anatomical landmark and categorized into four types. Data were recorded as the frequency of the posture types. To test the equality of means among more than two groups, the Kruskal–Wallis test was used. Posture frequency was then compared with musculoskeletal symptoms.

Results:

The major finding in this study is that a considerable proportion of the study sample displayed some degree of postural anomaly. Kyphosis was found to be highest among IT professionals (76.7%) compared to the other professional groups. Kypholordotic posture was more among the nurses. The frequency of pain increased in participants with more severe postural issues. It is hypothesized that the means of different groups compared are the same against the alternative that at least one group's mean is different from others. The difference observed difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001).

Discussion and Conclusion:

Postural abnormalities are a significant risk factor for musculoskeletal disorders. The ergonomics of the working environment have a direct impact on the well-being of professionals. Hence, the organizations employing them, and the professionals themselves need to be sensitized regarding the importance of correct working posture.
Participation of 1st-Year Medical Undergraduate Students in an Anatomy Exhibition as “Near-Peer” Teachers – An Innovative Method to Implement Components of the Competency-Based Curriculum in India

Published: July 2022

Introduction:

To develop a medical professional multidimensionally, experiences must be built in the medical undergraduate curriculum using existing programs and resources. Utilizing the involvement of 1st-year medical students in an anatomy exhibition as “near-peer” teachers, we aimed to develop an interest in teaching among them and to sensitize them to the surrounding community and the need for the development of communication skills.

Material and Methods:

One hundred 1st-year medical students were involved in teaching anatomy to school students from the community during an anatomy exhibition. The students were divided into 10 groups and they demonstrated the displayed specimens for 4 days on a rotation basis. Feedback was collected to evaluate students' responses to the program.

Results:

The feedback from the students (n = 88) revealed that students enjoyed the experience (97.7%) and found the experience useful for their appreciation of anatomy (87.4%). About 53.4% of students were able to communicate effectively, although 61.4% had language difficulties. Students appreciated the opportunity to interact with school students (90.9%), the need for educational outreach (94.3%) and also recommended their future involvement in teaching programs (94.3%). In making the learning experience enjoyable to the students, the factors that played a key role were their ability to communicate easily (P = 0.019) and their ability to appreciate the need for community outreach (P = 0.005).

Discussion and Conclusion:

Developing the interest of 1st-year medical students in teaching and sensitizing them to the need for improved communication skills and societal consciousness can be achieved by enabling them to act as “near-peer” teachers in school teaching programs.
Knowledge, attitude, and practice/awareness on the impact of mobile phone radiations on the oral cavity among mobile phone users
Authors: Revanth M. P. , Aparna S. , Madankumar Parangimalai Diwakar
Published: July 2022

Background:

The usage of mobile phones has increased drastically in recent years. Their use without any knowledge of their adverse effects is quite unsafe. Studies on cancers due to electromagnetic radiation from mobile phones are available but there is a need to research on the harmful effects of mobile phones on general and oral health among the rampant mobile phone users.

Aim:

The aim of the study is to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice or awareness regarding mobile phone radiation and its impact on the oral cavity among the individuals using mobile phones.

Materials and Methods:

The present study was a self-administered structured questionnaire study which was filled by 259 participants between the age group of 18–33 years through online forms.

Results:

The study resulted that 50% of the participants did not have knowledge on deleterious effects of mobile phone radiation on the oral cavity and have experienced oral problems such as dry mouth (39.4%) and hypersalivation (41.7%) after prolonged talk time and 54.1% of the participants were aware on the impact of mobile phone radiation on health status.

Conclusion:

The results showed that most of the participants were aware of the potential risks arising from the use of mobile phones on general health but lacking the knowledge on oral health.
Lymphoproliferative disorder involving body fluid: diagnostic approaches and roles of ancillary studies
Authors: Koh Jiwon , Shin Sun Ah , Lee Ji Ae , Jeon Yoon Kyung
Published: July 2022

Lymphocyte-rich effusions represent benign reactive process or neoplastic condition. Involvement of lymphoproliferative disease in body cavity is not uncommon, and it often causes diagnostic challenge. In this review, we suggest a practical diagnostic approach toward lymphocyte-rich effusions, share representative cases, and discuss the utility of ancillary tests. Cytomorphologic features favoring neoplastic condition include high cellularity, cellular atypia/pleomorphism, monomorphic cell population, and frequent apoptosis, whereas lack of atypia, polymorphic cell population, and predominance of small T cells usually represent benign reactive process. Involvement of non-hematolymphoid malignant cells in body fluid should be ruled out first, followed by categorization of the samples into either small/medium-sized cell dominant or large-sized cell dominant fluid. Small/medium-sized cell dominant effusions require ancillary tests when either cellular atypia or history/clinical suspicion of lymphoproliferative disease is present. Large-sized cell dominant effusions usually suggest neoplastic condition, however, in the settings of initial presentation or low overall cellularity, ancillary studies are helpful for more clarification. Ancillary tests including immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization, clonality test, and next-generation sequencing can be performed using cytologic preparations. Throughout the diagnostic process, proper review of clinical history, cytomorphologic examination, and application of adequate ancillary tests are key elements for successful diagnosis.

This study investigates variations in boundary /t/ consonant deletions inEnglish among young educated Nigerians in connected speeches. Thirtystudents comprising of fifteen males and fifteen females in their third andfinal years, from the Department of English and Literary Studies at theUniversity of Nigeria, Nigeria, participated in this study. Recordings weremade of their t-deletions in selected phonetic tokens in connected speeches.All /t/ consonant deletions produced at word and morpheme boundaries in thegiven sentences for the study were identified and analysed perceptually.Labov’s Variationist theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. TheStatistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software was used for the t-test(Independent Sample Test) analysis to determine the significant differencesin the realisation of boundary /t/ consonants between the male and femalegenders. With the level of significance at 0.05, the /t/ deletion in the maleparticipants in connected speeches was more significant than that of theirfemale counterparts.

Published: July 2022

In recent times, studies on I, we and you (tri-PP) in academic lectures havefocused on the L1 context. This paper, however, investigates thecommonalities in the discourse reference of I, we, and you across threedisciplinary supercommunities (DSs): Humanities (HS), Social Sciences(HS), and Natural Sciences (NS), using a corpus from an L2 context. Theconcordance tool in AntConc was used to search for all instances of the tri-PP. The referents of the tri-PP were identified based on the contextual andco-textual clues. The study revealed three referents –lecturer, students, andlecturer + students – which were common to all the three investigatedpronouns. Furthermore, the above referents were also noted to be commonto all the three broad knowledge domains. In a nutshell, the study revealedcross-pronominal and disciplinary commonalities in the discourse referentsin academic lectures. The implications for the theory of referentiality arealso discussed.

From Tree of Life to the Sun of Life
Authors: Christensen Katie
Published: July 2022

Using the Tree of Life as an example, this paper presents folk psychology as a decolonising practice that elevates the experience, history and wisdom of individuals and collectives, rather than privileging the theories and standards of professional practice. It also demonstrates the possibilities that can emerge when we invite people’s own folk psychology metaphors to guide our practice.
