Le tournant linguistique du XVIIIe siècle. Études d'histoire de la langue scientifique
Authors: Ratcliff Marc J.
Published: November 2024

Reliant l’histoire du langage à celle des sciences à l’époque moderne, Le tournant linguistique du xviiie siècle développe un modèle de régulation communautaire de la langue savante en Occident. Par une méthode de microhistoire sérielle, on y explore les tensions entre les langages de l’histoire naturelle et de l’expérimentation, aboutissant à une guerre des langues scientifiques qui voit se confronter les tenants des « matters of fact » à ceux des « matters of language ». Une langue savante unifiée en émerge à la fin du xviiie siècle, qui permet de forger le creuset disciplinaire de l’époque contemporaine. Ce mouvement, parmi d’autres phénomènes, participe d’une vaste geste savante et sociétale de contrôle et de formalisation du langage en réaction à l’augmentation croissante de la quantité de mots, de choses et de circulations. L’ouvrage illustre la polymorphie de l’attitude consistant à se tourner vers le langage, cristallisée par le tournant linguistique du xviiie siècle et visant à expliquer l’hypothèse foucaldienne d’un changement d’épistémè à la fin des Lumières.

Authors: Moura Vargas Dias Fernanda , Fiorin Anhoque Carolina , Moura Dias Fabiano , Zanela da Silva Âreas Fernando
Published: November 2024

Introdução: A neuromodulação não invasiva (NmNI) abrange um conjunto de técnicas que modulam a atividade neuronal sem necessidade de cirurgia ou implantes. O interesse nessas técnicas vem crescendo, especialmente em relação à sua aplicabilidade e à translação de resultados de protocolos de pesquisa para a prática clínica. Com isso, surgem questões sobre a segurança dos procedimentos, seus efeitos fisiológicos e os mecanismos de ação cerebral. Objetivo: Discutir a aplicabilidade, os efeitos, as barreiras de acesso ao tratamento e explorar direções futuras para pesquisa e prática clínica. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura, incluindo ensaios clínicos, revisões sistemáticas, meta-análises e artigos de opinião, com pesquisas nas bases de dados PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar e Web of Science. Discussão: As técnicas de NmNI tendem a ser menos invasivas, mais seguras e acessíveis do que intervenções neurocirúrgicas, apresentando-se como uma alternativa às estratégias farmacológicas, com poucos efeitos colaterais. Aspectos como portabilidade, escalabilidade e custo-benefício, além do potencial para uso doméstico, devem ser considerados. Embora amplamente usadas em reabilitação, ainda é necessário padronizar os parâmetros de aplicação e ampliar o acesso a toda a população. Conclusão: As pesquisa futuras em NmNI devem focar na padronização de protocolos, no aprofundamento das bases neurobiológicas e na expansão para novos contextos clínicos. Uma vez que o acesso ao tratamento é limitado por barreiras financeiras, geográficas e educacionais, torna-se essencial a criação de políticas que garantam sua inclusão na saúde pública.

A POSSIBILIDADE DA BUSCA DOMICILIAR DIANTE DO CONSENTIMENTO DO MORADOR: ANÁLISE DA JURISPRUDÊNCIA DO SUPERIOR TRIBUNAL DE JUSTIÇA
Authors: Toniolo Cibelli Maiara
Published: November 2024

O presente artigo analisa o direito à inviolabilidade de domicílio, previsto no inciso XI do artigo 5º da Constituição Brasileira, sob a ótica do entendimento do Superior Tribunal de Justiça (STJ), quanto à busca domiciliar realizada por policiais militares com o consentimento do morador. O tema ganhou repercussão após o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), em 2021, anular parcialmente o HC n. 598.051/STJ, que estabeleceu novos critérios sobre o consentimento do morador. A pesquisa analisou 18 decisões proferidas pelo STJ em sede de Recurso de Habeas Corpus, proferidas entre maio e junho de 2024, com o objetivo de compreender o atual entendimento da Corte Superior e fornecer diretrizes para a atuação de policiais militares. Após análise, constatou-se que tem prevalecido as decisões que entenderam que não ficou evidenciado o consentimento do morador, reputando a entrada ilegal e, consequentemente, as provas dela decorrentes. Em 11 dos 18 acórdãos analisados, o consentimento não foi adequadamente demonstrado; e, em 12 dos 18 julgados, o HC n. 598.051/SP foi citado, o que demonstra que os parâmetros estabelecidos no acórdão estão norteando o desfecho de diversas ações penais. Algumas decisões também mencionam o chamado "constrangimento ambiental", bem como, observa-se que a presunção de veracidade do depoimento dos agentes estatais vem sendo mitigada. Fica evidente que a responsabilidade de provar a voluntariedade do consentimento para a entrada na residência tem recaído sobre o Estado, destacando a necessidade de que os órgãos de segurança pública intensifiquem seus esforços e recursos para enfrentar esse desafio.
An Examination of Dilemmas in Executing Illegal Military Orders and A Forward-Looking Exploration of Potential Avenues
Authors:   East China University of Political Science and Law, WANG Jiahui
Published: November 2024

The regulation of executing illegal military orders constitutes a gap in China's criminal law system. In contrast to the internationally evolving paradigm of “no exemption from liability for executing illegal orders, ” China's current criminal law solely stipulates the responsibility of commanders who issue improper orders, while remaining silent on the accountability of subordinate military personnel who execute such illegal military orders. To address this, a model of criminal accountability under the principle of “no exemption for superior orders” could be established within Chapter 10 of China's Criminal Law. This would involve amending Articles 420, 421, and 428 by adding provisos and introducing a new crime of “intentionally executing illegal military orders” in Chapter 10. This approach aligns with the principles of Military Criminal Law and International Criminal Law, ensuring that military personnel violating their duties through the execution of illegal orders face appropriate legal consequences.

Authors: Villalba Vásquez Javier
Published: November 2024

Esta es una indagación cuantitativa-descriptiva con un diseño no experimental realizado en la Universidad de Panamá, Centro Regional Universitario de Panamá Oeste. El propósito de este fue analizar las actitudes afectivas, cognitivas y conductuales hacia la Tesis de Grado de los graduandos de la escuela de inglés. Para tal fin, se empleó la Escala de Actitudes Hacia la Investigación (EACIN) de clase Likert que se basa en el modelo multidimensional de Aldana et al. (2016). Se seleccionó la muestra utilizando un estilo no probabilístico. Además, se empleó la plataforma Google Forms para enviar el instrumento de medición por medio de correos y la Plataforma WhatsApp. Los hallazgos muestran que la actitud afectiva hacia la Tesis de Grado fue de intensidad negativa, la actitud cognitiva de intensidad ligeramente positiva, y la actitud conductual fue marcadamente negativa. Sin embargo, se muestra que la categoría neutra marcó un porcentaje importante, lo cual afectó el grado de intensidad negativa de las mismas. Por tanto, se puede manifestar que las actitudes hacia la Tesis de Grado de los estudiantes son negativas, es decir los graduandos desvaloran la importancia de esta alternativa. Esta tendencia ocurrió en otros estudios. Se recomienda realizar otros estudios sobre las características de estas actitudes.

Asymmetries in Postural Stability and Balance Parameters during Specific Elements in Sub-Elite Rhythmic Gymnasts
Authors: Macan Iva , Marinovic Marin , Kezic Ana
Published: November 2024

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the level of lower-limb functional asymmetries in sub-elite rhythmic gymnasts while performing sport-specific elements, including passe and side passe balance stance. Methods: The analysis focuses on postural stability and balance parameters, measured using Gyko, a 3-axis accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer device. The task was to execute a passe balance and maintain the position for 30 seconds, which was the duration of the test, and then perform the same task with the other leg. The test was repeated for both legs in a side passe balance stance. Sixteen active female sub-elite rhythmic gymnasts participated in the study.
Results: The results reveal significant differences in the mean travel velocity in all anatomical planes during the passe elements, indicating asymmetry in postural stability in favor of the non-dominant leg (P≤ .01). Similarly, in the side passe balance test, significant differences were observed in the mediolateral (in favor of the dominant leg) and anteroposterior (in favor of the non-dominant leg) total distances, indicating asymmetry in postural stability (P= .03). However, no significant differences were found in other postural stability parameters, the ellipse (EA) and the total length of the trajectory (Len(D)). Conclusions: Evident asymmetries in movement speed during the passe element and imbalances in weight distribution during the side passe balance test do not appear to compromise overall postural stability considering that asymmetry was
not proven in several variables, such as the ellipse or the total length of the trajectory. These findings shed light on the potential impact of asymmetries on performance and injury risk in rhythmic gymnastics, emphasizing the importance of considering sport-specific balance tests.
Revolutionizing “Text Neck Syndrome” Management: Paradigm Shifting from “Posture Correction” to “Posture Change”
Authors: Dhahbi Wissem , Ben Saad Helmi
Published: November 2024

Purpose: The pervasive use of mobile devices has precipitated an increase in musculoskeletal disorders, notably “text neck syndrome” (TNS), characterized by neck pain, stiffness, and dysfunction due to prolonged forward head posture. Traditional
management strategies have focused on static posture correction exercises, but recent research advocates for a paradigm shift towards a dynamic and holistic approach, emphasizing joint-specific mobility and stability. This technical note critiques
the limitations of conventional posture correction and explores the scientific basis for the joint-by-joint approach (JBJA) training program, which prioritizes mobility restoration to promote sustainable posture change. Conclusions: The JBJA model highlighted the necessity of addressing the entire kinetic chain, particularly the thoracic spine
and shoulder girdle, to alleviate cervical spine strain. Evidence from recent studies supports the efficacy of this approach in reducing TNS symptoms and improving overall posture. Implementing posture change into TNS management involves education, technology-assisted reminders, environmental modifications, and movement-based interventions. This shift not only addresses the biomechanical imbalances that contribute to TNS but also empowers patients to actively manage their condition, fostering long-term well-being.

Published: November 2024

Purpose: This pilot study aims to determine the effects of different endurance exercises, during the 14-day national break during the football season.
Methods: Four groups were formed randomly from 44 male football players (age 17-19 years old, stature 179.0±6.16 cm, body mass 70.4±5.53 kg, and body fat ratio 10.6±2.18 %) who regularly train and compete in the youth category of a football team: Small-Sided Games (SSG, n=10), Large-Sided Games (LSG, n=18), Running Without the Ball (RWB, n=8), and Control group (CG, n=8). VO2max (30-15 IFT and Bruce Protocol), balance (Y test), 10-20-30 m sprint, and T-test before and after the 14-day national break during the football season were measured. Heart rate and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) followed
during the training program. Results: Significant differences were found in SSG (P= .001) and LSG (P= .005) in 30-15 IFT test (P< .05). In the Y-balance test, a statistically significant difference was found in SSG (P= .001) and LSG (P= .001) only.
Conclusions: As a result, coaches are recommended to apply one of the RWB, SSG, or LSG training in addition to their routine football periods.

Kalanamak, a landrace of rice (Oryza sativa L.), often referred to as “Buddha Home Rice” or ‘Buddha Rice,’ holds a significant place in the cultural and agricultural history of India. This heritage rice variety is believed to be blessed by Lord Buddha himself to the farmers of Bajaha village in Siddharthnagar district of U. P., some 3000 years ago. Facing extinction but due to the Bhagirath Prayas of one scientist, now touching the world market. parts of programme involved germplasm collection, followed by the pureline selection, hybridization and selection, and modern revival to reach to global level. Historically prized for its unique fragrance, taste, and nutritional benefits, Kalanamak rice saw a decline during the Green Revolution due to its lower yield compared to modern rice varieties. However, the success of Kalanamak rice faces challenges, particularly in ensuring authenticity and quality control amidst the proliferation of counterfeit products. Advanced technologies such as blockchain and QR code-based traceability systems are proposed to combat these issues.

The increasing degradation of soil and loss of plant biodiversity pose significant threats to global food security and environmental sustainability. Traditional agricultural practices often prioritize short-term economic gains over long-term environmental health, leading to unsustainable exploitation of natural resources and explores the critical intersection of policy frameworks and soil and plant conservation economics, emphasizing the need for an integrated approach to promote sustainable agricultural practices. It then examines the policy instruments currently employed in agriculture, such as subsidies, regulations, and market-based approaches, assessing their effectiveness in achieving conservation goals. Through an analysis of case studies and recent literature, the review identifies key challenges in aligning economic incentives with environmental conservation, such as conflicting interests, policy gaps, and economic barriers. Strategic approaches for integrating policy and conservation economics are proposed, including sustainable policy design, stakeholder engagement, and the development of innovative economic models. The review also presents policy recommendations aimed at bridging the gap between economic growth and environmental stewardship, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive framework that supports both conservation and economic development. The findings underscore the importance of creating policies that are not only environmentally sustainable but also economically viable, ensuring that conservation efforts are both practical and beneficial for all stakeholders. This review contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainable agriculture by providing insights into the ways in which policy and economics can be harmonized to achieve long-term environmental and economic goals.

Changes in the endogenous moisture content and biochemical viz., soluble sugar), phenols, o-phenol and peroxidase activity at different stages of adventitious rooting in auxin-treated (5 mM IBA) and non-treated miniature bud sprout cuttings of Gmelina arborea Roxb. were investigated at 0 h, 24 h, 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks and 3 weeks of planting to elucidate the process of adventitious root formation at physio-biochemical level. Simultaneously adventitious rhizogenesis parameters viz., proportion of live green sprouts (%), callusing (%) and rooting (%) were recorded. Two weeks after planting, the marked difference for adventitious rhizogenesis was noticeable between treated and non-treated sprout cuttings. More than 20% rooting and 75% callusing were recorded in treated sprout cuttings. In contrast, only 7.4% non-treated sprout cuttings exhibited callusing. At the end of Week 3, more than 90% rooting was observed in treated sprout cuttings while it was absent in non-treated ones. All biochemicals exhibited changes in the first 24 h, indicating early incidence of consequential process(s), which influenced the differential response of cuttings to adventitious rhizogenesis in auxin-treated and non-treated state. Overall, the results indicate two possible phases of adventitious rhizogenesis – Phase I of Induction -the initial phase exhibiting low endogenous moisture and o-phenol but elevated phenol and peroxidase activity and Phase II of Initiation – the later phase coinciding with higher endogenous moisture and low phenol content and peroxidase activity. Both phases appear to be separated by an intervening unstable duration (Gap Phase of Stabilization) which may vary among different types of cuttings/species.

The research addressed the importance of nursing care for pregnant women with thrombophilia during prenatal care, a condition that increases the risk of thromboembolic complications for both mother and fetus. Thrombophilia is a hemostatic disorder characterized by an increased predisposition to thrombosis, which can be caused by hereditary or acquired factors, such as the use of hormones or medications. The general objective of the study was to describe the nursing care provided to these patients, focusing on risk identification, clinical monitoring during pregnancy, and preventive methods. The methodology used was a literature review with a quantitative approach, conducted based on selected articles from scientific databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scielo. Studies that addressed the topic of thrombophilia during prenatal care, focusing on health care and complication prevention, were included. The results showed that adequate nursing care, including detailed anamnesis, continuous monitoring, and medication management, is essential to prevent serious complications such as deep vein thrombosis and pregnancy loss. The study also highlighted the importance of preventive measures, such as adopting a balanced diet and engaging in physical activities, to reduce the risks associated with thrombophilia during pregnancy.

Les oscillations (fluctuations de l’activité cérébrale) ont un rôle fonctionnel dans la cognition. Elles supportent divers mécanismes cognitifs au sein d’un même réseau, notamment en fonction de leur fréquence. Lorsque le rôle des oscillations dans une fonction cognitive est bien défini, leur rythme peut être modulé grâce à des techniques de neurostimulation (p. ex. stimulation magnétique transcrânienne, stimulation visuelle rythmique). Par exemple, le rythme thêta (4 à 8 Hz) favorise les performances de mémoire de travail et une stimulation du réseau fronto-pariétal à ce rythme améliore les performances comportementales dans des tâches de mémoire auditive (Albouy et al., 2017, 2022). La présente étude avait pour objectif de définir le rôle fonctionnel des oscillations cérébrales mesurées via électroencéphalogramme (EEG) durant une nouvelle tâche de mémoire de travail (MDT) visuo-spatiale (N=20, adultes sains). Les résultats indiquent que des dynamiques oscillatoires spécifiques dans le réseau fronto-pariétal impliquant les rythmes delta (1-3 Hz), thêta (4-8 Hz), alpha (9-14Hz) et gamma (+de 30 Hz) sont associées à la création et à la modification de la trace mnésique dans le cerveau. Ces nouvelles connaissances permettront de développer de futures approches de neurostimulation pour améliorer les capacités de MDT.
Efficacité des interventions en matière d’activité physique pour réduire l’anxiété chez les jeunes
Authors: Harvey Gabrielle
Published: November 2024

Contexte: Soixante-cinq pourcent des jeunes Québécois présentent des symptômes d’anxiété modérés à élevés, associés à des risques comme l’abus de substances, la dépression et le suicide. Les études suggèrent que les interventions d’activité physique (AP) réduisent l’anxiété chez les adultes, surtout lorsque la pratique est plus longue, modérément fréquente et peu intense. Toutefois, ces données sont limitées chez les jeunes. Objectif: Cette revue narrative recense l’effet des interventions d’AP et explore les modalités liées à une réduction des symptômes anxieux chez les jeunes. Méthode: Les études incluses devaient être en français ou en anglais, proposer une intervention d’AP pour les jeunes de 4 à 17 ans, mesurer l’anxiété avant et après l’intervention, et présenter des données originales. Sept études ont été analysées dans PsycINFO. Résultats: Six études (85,7 %) ne montrent aucun changement post-intervention pour l’anxiété, tandis qu’une (14,3 %) indique une amélioration. Cette dernière a comme modalités une durée de 60 minutes à intensité élevée, pratiquée deux à quatre fois par semaine durant 18 mois. Retombées: Cette étude souligne la nécessité de poursuivre les recherches pour confirmer l'efficacité des interventions d'AP et des modalités sur l’anxiété des jeunes, afin de les intégrer au système de santé mentale surchargé.

Published: November 2024

In today’s fast-changing food industry, consumer expectations around safety, quality, and transparency push for more effective traceability systems. This study examines how Portuguese consumers perceive food product traceability, focusing on their awareness, trust, and preferences in product origin, production methods, and safety protocols. Through a survey, the socio-economic impact of advanced traceability systems was explored. The results show that most consumers consider traceability essential for ensuring food safety. However, a significant portion remains unaware of these systems. Factors such as product quality, price, and storage conditions were highlighted as top priorities when purchasing food, with traceability seen as a way to improve these aspects. Consumers are also intensely interested in information about product origins and transportation conditions, especially temperature control, as these directly affect safety and quality. This reflects growing concerns over foodborne illnesses and waste due to poor transportation practices. The research emphasises the need for greater consumer education on the value of traceability systems and the potential advantages of adopting digital traceability technologies. The study’s originality lies in its specific focus on the behaviour of Portuguese consumers regarding food traceability, a topic that has been relatively underexplored in this context.

This study is designed to determine the effect of implementing competence-based curriculum on students’ academic performance in mathematics in selected lower secondary public day schools in Rwamagana District, Rwanda. This study is beneficial to Rwandan secondary schools, to the researcher himself, teachers, and other researchers providing advice on how they can develop the students’ competences in mathematics subjects. Guided by constructivism and social constructivism learning theories, the study’s participants were 8 head teachers and Deans of studies (5 respondents), 7 teachers of mathematics (5 respondents) and 275 students (158 respondents). These made a sample size of 168 respondents from four secondary day schools in Rwamagana district were involved in this research. The target population of this study was 290 participants.  Purposive sampling by choosing the Dean of studies and Head teachers and simple random sampling was used to choose teachers and students as well as stratified random sampling. Instruments used to collect data are questionnaires and interviews. The quantitative data was analyzed by using IBM SPSS 20 while analysis of qualitative data was done using inductive thematic analysis. Results on the implementation of competence-based curriculum structure indicated that 81.7% strongly agree that discussing math concepts with classmates helps them to learn better. 86.7% agree that the school leaders support the implementation of Competence-Based Curriculum (CBC) in mathematics. 89.9% of the asked students agree that their mathematics teachers seemed well prepared to teach the CBC. The study found that the CBC program is being implemented effectively in Rwamagana District. Students are more engaged, better at problem-solving, and have a better understanding of math. The study shows that the program should continue and be improved to help students succeed in school and their careers. It was proposed that Rwanda Education Board is advised to support and train schools in implementing the CBC in mathematics. It should regularly evaluate and adjust the curriculum to improve outcomes. Teachers should participate in professional development and adopt a student-centered approach. Schools should ensure adequate resources and foster a collaborative culture. Families should encourage active student participation, maintain open communication, and provide a supportive home environment.
