Psychotraumatismes complexes et conduites addictives
Authors: Meliava Naïra
Published: January 2023

Les liens qui associent les conduites addictives et les antécédents de psychotraumatismes font partie des évidences cliniques pour les praticiens qui travaillent auprès de personnes souffrant d’une conduite addictive. La fréquence et la prégnance des troubles émotionnels liés à des traumatismes psychiques est une donnée régulièrement rapportée parmi les facteurs qui favorisent, voire déterminent l’abus de drogues et les addictions (Fidelle, 2009 ; Aderhold, 2013). Si cette corrélation est à présent corroborée par de nombreuses études épidémiologiques et cliniques, elle est encore insuffisamment prise en compte sur le plan thérapeutique et constitue un enjeu majeur des accompagnements des personnes qui sollicitent nos dispositifs (CSAPA, CAARUD…).
Fumer à l’hôpital en 2022. Une liberté, un risque ou une provocation ?
Authors: Menecier Pascal , Charvet Maud , Lucas Estelle , Fernandez Lydia
Published: January 2023

Alors que le tabagisme est la première cause de morbi-mortalité évitable en France et qu’il tuera prématurément un fumeur régulier sur deux, il est possible de s’interroger sur le bien-fondé de respecter la liberté de fumer, surtout dans un lieu de soin comme l’hôpital, premier lieu d’accueil des dommages sanitaires et des complications du tabac. Après le développement du projet « hôpital sans tabac », puis « lieu de santé sans tabac », après avoir facilité la substitution nicotinique dans des objectifs de réduction ou d’arrêt de consommation, la persistance ou l’opposition de certains fumeurs hospitalisés ou travaillant à l’hôpital font se demander ce qui sous-tend ces pratiques et positionnements au-delà du comportement addictif.
Construction d’une autonomie relative dans les territoires ruraux du nicaragua : une lecture méso-économique du coopérativisme paysan
Authors: Metereau Renaud
Published: January 2023

Le coopérativisme paysan au Nicaragua est un phénomène structurant du monde rural. Il met en tension des formes et des motifs de résistance et d’adaptation qui se manifestent de manière simultanée face aux orientations dominantes de la vie sociale. Mobilisant une approche méso-économique, cette contribution souligne les principaux mécanismes de différenciation rendus possibles par l’organisation en coopératives au sein d’un système structuré à l’échelle nationale. Ce système coopératif constitue une base organisationnelle orientée vers la défense d’un régime coopératif et contribue à façonner des espaces d’autonomie relative pour ses sociétaires et les communautés rurales au sein desquelles ils et elles s’engagent.
Efectos del estrés percibido y preparación para retorno al trabajo como mecanismo de resiliencia sobre el “burnout”: análisis desde una óptica cuantitativa
Authors: Barrón Torres Jorge Guadalupe , Sánchez Limón Mónica Lorena , Máynez Guaderrama Aurora Irma
Published: January 2023

La pandémie actuelle a généré des changements dans le travail et les modes de vie, favorisant ainsi les troubles psychologiques tels que le burn-out. Cette étude vise à contribuer à la compréhension de ses antécédents: stress perçu et préparation au retour au travail. Pour cela, un questionnaire a été appliqué à 193 personnes de Ciudad Victoria, Mexique, travailleurs du commerce, des services et de l’industrie. Les résultats ont été analysés par une régression multiple qui a montré une bonne significativité du modèle et un effet partiel des variables indépendantes sur le burn-out, déterminant la nécessité de considérer d’autres variables complémentaires dans les recherches futures.

Authors: Aguilar Camacho Mario Jesús , Barrera Arias Eduardo , Tovar Vega Alma Rosa , Luna Correa Enrique
Published: January 2023

L’objectif de cet article est de présenter des propositions pour optimiser la contribution à l’amélioration, une sorte d’Instrument de Captation des Gains en Capital (ICGC), en tant qu’option financière innovante et viable pour les municipalités. Dans cette figure juridique fiscale, les sujets qui bénéficient directement d’un ouvrage public - en raison du bénéfice et de l’augmentation des actifs qu’ils reçoivent -, apportent une partie ou la totalité des ressources pour le payer. La méthode de recherche combine une étude de cas qualitative et, compte tenu des circonstances actuelles de la santé publique, l’analyse s’appuie sur des entretiens approfondis avec des agents, des experts et des acteurs financiers.
Du milieu-soi au milieu sensoriel, la fabrication du son chanté
Authors: Loquet Monique , Audroing Marie
Published: January 2023

L’étude porte sur une pratique d’enseignement-apprentissage du chant, menée par un chef de chœur (CC) avec des enfants qui se préparent à intégrer une chorale. CC place d’emblée les enfants dans des situations qui peuvent sembler paradoxales. Il demande de créer du silence plutôt que de chanter, puis de vider l’air plutôt que d’en prendre pour chanter. Le texte propose de travailler la notion de « milieu-soi » en didactique, comme mode explicatif de la fabrication du son chanté. L’analyse est abordée à partir des sensations internes du corps, ce dernier étant considéré comme « milieu sensoriel ». Nous postulons que l’expérience sensorielle que développent les enfants pour fabriquer le son, est au fondement des savoirs interprétatifs d’œuvres chantées.
Les enjeux de l’enseignement de l’interprétation dans une séquence de danse contemporaine
Authors: Buyck Yoann , Lenzen Benoît , Ligozat Florence , Voisard Nicolas
Published: January 2023

Qu’advient-il des enjeux d’apprentissage lorsqu’un enseignant implémente une séquence d’enseignement clés en main ? C’est toute la question qui est soulevée ici dans le contexte d’une séquence d’enseignement de danse contemporaine ciblant l’interprétation. Après avoir décrit brièvement la logique de conception de la séquence mise à disposition, nous menons une analyse descriptive compréhensive d’un phénomène de transformation de l’un des enjeux d’apprentissage centraux. Nous pointons alors que cette transformation est révélatrice d’une ambivalence qui trouve son origine dans l’épistémologie pratique de l’enseignant à différents niveaux.
Savoirs interprétatifs et arts plastiques, une approche plasticienne
Authors: Melis Caroline
Published: January 2023

Nous nous intéressons à la mise en œuvre par les enseignants de situations didactiques issues de l’activité de renormalisation des prescriptions en Arts Plastiques par les acteurs polyvalents que sont les professeurs des écoles. Nous proposons de questionner le rapport entre activités de production et de réception dans la progression d’acquisitions de savoirs interprétatifs en interrogeant le voir-comme défini par Wittgenstein (1953) des enseignants polyvalents. En analysant deux propositions didactiques, nous nous intéressons au travail de construction de situations de transmission de savoirs ainsi qu’à l’activité des élèves telle qu’imaginée par les professeurs des écoles. Nous exposerons comment une activité permettant l’acquisition de savoirs interprétatifs donnant accès aux œuvres trouve pleinement sa place dans la praxis des élèves. Nous verrons comment la posture d’étayage auprès des enseignants peut faciliter l’existence d’un arrière-plan commun entre le faire plastique des élèves et le faire didactique des professeurs.
Agglomération de Fribourg (Suisse), 83 000 habitants : augmenter massivement les prestations de transport public urbain sera-t-il suffisant pour doubler la fréquentation des transports publics d’ici 10 ans ?
Authors: Périllon François
Published: January 2023

L’Agglomération de Fribourg compte 83 000 habitants, dans une région rurale et très motorisée. Le réseau de bus y est dense en zone centrale avec des cadences de 15 à 7,5 mn sur les 8 lignes principales, mais encore de qualité moyenne à faible en zone périphérique. La fréquentation des lignes y est assez élevée, avec une part de marché équivalente à celle de Lausanne. L’Agglomération, en partenariat avec l’État de Fribourg s’est donné comme objectif de doubler la fréquentation d’ici à 2032 afin d’atteindre les niveaux de fréquentation des grandes agglomérations alémaniques. Fixé avant la crise du Covid-19, cet objectif est cependant ambitieux : il s’appuie sur une politique globale alternative à la voiture dans la zone centrale, dont les mesures sur le stationnement privé ne sont que partiellement mises en œuvre en raison de nombreuses résistances. L’atteinte de cet objectif est aussi fortement compromise par la crise sanitaire, qui a fait perdre 10 % de la fréquentation du réseau. De nombreux enjeux à traiter pour les planifications post-Covid dont les études viennent de s’engager.
Développer une offre de niveau urbain dans une commune isolée de 8 000 habitants : la démarche expérimentale de l’Agglomération de Fribourg sur la commune de Guin
Authors: Périllon François
Published: January 2023

Développer une offre bus nouvelle dans un bourg de moins de 10 000 habitants est un pari. Ici, le développement récent du petit réseau de bus de Guin est un exemple de la volonté politique régionale (sur incitation fédérale) d’offrir une desserte bus suffisante pour générer le transfert modal.
Le service de location de vélos Roue Libre et la politique pro-vélo de la RATP : la genèse de la location publique de vélos en Île-de-France
Authors: Dusong Clément
Published: January 2023

Apparu dès 1998, le service de location de vélos Roue Libre développé par la RATP constitue le prototype des VLD (vélos en location courte et moyenne durée) qui ont été ensuite proposés dans plusieurs métropoles françaises. Cet article permet de retracer sa genèse et son histoire, interrompue par le lancement du Vélib’ parisien en 2008 qui ne remplit pourtant pas les mêmes missions. Il montre le rôle d’un transporteur public dans le développement d’une offre vélo, mais aussi les fluctuations de son intérêt au fil du temps.

Poèmes et paysages de l’eau : tisser, révéler des liens dans la vallée du fleuve Sénégal
Authors: Bourlet Mélanie , Taïbi Aude Nuscia , Lorin Marie , Leblon Anaïs , El Hannani Mustapha , Sow Aboubakry
Published: January 2023

La vallée du fleuve Sénégal est le théâtre d’importants aménagements depuis l’époque coloniale, révélateurs des enjeux politiques, économiques et stratégiques de ce fleuve. Des exemples précis de poésies orales en langue peule témoignent, par leur forme tout autant que leur contenu, d’un attachement fort à ce territoire, de pratiques et d’usages des terres bordant le fleuve, de sociabilités et de rapports de pouvoir – en somme, de modes de relations aux paysages fluviaux et de gestion des ressources – généralement peu pris en compte dans les politiques d’aménagement du territoire concernant cette région. La conception de ce territoire à l’échelle du bassin versant, véhiculée par cette poésie, a laissé place à une approche techniciste portée par les aménagements de la vallée depuis le XXe siècle. Le constat est que ce passage constitue une rupture d’une "continuité écologique" entre wâlo, zone inondable, et diêri, non inondable, entendue comme le tissage que permet le réseau hydrologique d’une myriade de mares entre elles, et qui, en soi, fait office d’entité vivante.
Infrastructures de la musique numérisée
Authors: Magaudda Paolo
Published: January 2023

Cet article analyse l’émergence de la technologie blockchain au sein de l’industrie de la musique, en prêtant attention aux récits et promesses à propos de son impact sur la circulation de musique enregistrée dans les réseaux numériques. La blockchain est en effet de plus en plus considérée comme la prochaine « révolution » qui affectera l’industrie musicale, la « technologie disruptive » qui bouleversera les règles qui régissent actuellement la commercialisation et la distribution de musique. Cet article examine comment des articles, le discours promotionnel de certaines start-up et d’autres acteurs et écrits contribuent à ce récit et l’alimentent. D’un point de vue théorique, l’analyse s’appuie sur des concepts issus du champ des Sciences Technologie et Société (STS), en particulier du côté des Information Infrastructures Studies, dans l’optique de nourrir les échanges entre sound studies et STS. Afin de rendre compte de l’engouement actuel (hype) pour la blockchain, l’article décrit cinq promesses technologiques que l’on retrouve régulièrement dans les discours vantant cette technologie. Enfin, l’article entend montrer les conséquences potentiellement problématiques, notamment pour ce qui concerne l’établissement de la valeur de la musique et sa circulation, que l’adoption de la blockchain pourrait impliquer.
Une régulation climatique pour les agricultures européennes
Authors: Oui Jeanne
Published: January 2023

Cet article étudie une politique publique européenne visant à intégrer la problématique du changement climatique en agriculture, à partir d’un projet lancé en 2013 dans le cadre de l’Agenda de Lisbonne, le « Climate-Smart Agriculture Booster » (CSA Booster). La notion de CSA, née dans le contexte des négociations climatiques internationales afin d’orienter l’action publique en agriculture, a été réutilisée et redéfinie au niveau européen. Cette circulation de la CSA a conduit à un nouveau cadrage du problème climatique en termes d’opportunité de croissance économique, devant servir de base à des marchés de conseil et de solutions technologiques pour l’agriculture. La régulation climatique se construit ici par l’incitation à l’innovation – notamment numérique – et à la libre participation des acteurs privés, pensés comme centraux dans les dynamiques de transformation du secteur agricole. Cependant, les difficultés d’enrôlement et les controverses internes autour des modèles agricoles pertinents face au changement climatique maintiennent ces transformations à l’état de promesses.
Towards a micropolitics of formats
Authors: Heuguet Guillaume
Published: January 2023

This article crosses perspectives from science studies, French information and communication sciences and cultural studies. We analyze the Content ID apparatus published by the company and video publishing site YouTube, which identifies the music tracks present in its videos to allow for them to be monetized. Such a study involves analyzing the construction of an innovation bridging the music and internet markets. Content ID is part of the lineage of strategic issues and techniques related to the music industry and the Web economy, which concern the arbitration between the circulation of cultural forms and their control as works and goods covered by copyright: in this context, Content ID is presented as the best compromise. The implementation of this compromise is based on the anchoring of the musical work in sound, its modeling through data, and the naturalization of this model. Beyond the technical equipment of market rules, Content ID works as a semi-automation of cultural and legal judgments of originality. It thus discreetly redefines the values of recorded music, and the way they are institutionalized.
Espaces de destruction dans les œuvres littéraires luxembourgeoises et françaises
Authors: Mamatsashvili Atinati
Published: January 2023

Le présent article se focalise sur la dimension destructrice, attachée aux Juifs, mise en relief dans les œuvres littéraires dès les années 1930 et dans l’après-guerre. L’homme-clandestin, l’émigrant, le pourchassé et le dépossédé – tel est le Juif qui se dessine dans les œuvres des écrivains luxembourgeois (Paul Palgen, Peter Faber) et français (Jean-Paul Sartre) qui présagent, à certains égards, les événements néfastes à venir. La zone dans laquelle le Juif est relégué est celle qui l’expulse vers la périphérie de l’espace habitable, à l’instar de ce tableau de Charlotte Salomon dans lequel la croix gammée parsème la rue comportant des inscriptions – qu’ils n’en veulent pas, de Juifs, au sein de l’espace aryanisé.
Être dépossédé de son histoire : les œuvres survivantes face à l’extermination
Authors: Decout Maxime
Published: January 2023

L’entreprise nazie cherchait à éradiquer l’ensemble des Juifs ; elle voulait aussi supprimer le souvenir de leur existence ; elle espérait même, comme le génocide arménien qui inspira en partie Hitler, abolir le souvenir de leur extermination. Or une partie des victimes a parfaitement cerné ce mécanisme et a choisi de témoigner de ce qui se passait à l’abri des regards. Ces diaristes de la Shoah ont noté des faits pour résister à la dépossession de leur histoire orchestrée par les bourreaux. Malgré leur mort, certains de leurs textes nous sont parvenus et sont devenus des œuvres survivantes. Pour comprendre les enjeux d’une telle écriture, nous nous pencherons sur les journaux d’Hélène Berr en France, d’Etty Hillesum aux Pays-Bas et d’Emmanuel Ringelblum dans le ghetto de Varsovie.

Psychological Intentions of Students
Authors: Nathani Bhavika , Srivastava Rajshree
Published: January 2023

In order to stop the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government was forced to shut down all educational facilities, which had a significant impact on the academic pursuits of both domestic and foreign students. This unanticipated alteration from traditional offline classes to e-learning has caused mental distress among learners. As a backdrop, the purpose of the present study is to examine the impact of e-learning and emotional intelligence (EI) on students' study stress, burnout, and performance by using the theory of emotion regulation. The data (N = 357) are from students studying in Pune enrolled in five different colleges. The outcomes indicate that both e-learning and EI have had a significant impact on students' perceived study stress, burnout, and performance. These results demonstrate that online classes and EI can work together and infers that EI has a critical effect on the mental strain of a student.

In this chapter the authors analyze how unjust, biased, interested, and malevolent results topos “quid est mulier [what is a woman]?”. The authors study how, before the topos of the evil woman took shape, there already existed the topos of the learned and polyglot women. One of the first cases: princess Berta in Girart de Roussillon (ca. 1136-1180). After the topos, the authors study real, papal, and royal women who demonstrate it is false. The samples developed are women with power and knowledge from the lineages, close related with the Crown of Aragon, of the Borgia, and Aragon of Naples: Lucrecia Borgia, Isabella d'Este, Antonia del Balzo, Costanza d'Avalos, Vittoria Colonna, and Isabella of Aragon
The Relationship Between Social CRM Adoption and Competitive Advantage
Authors: Alghamdi Omar A.
Published: January 2023

In today's world of global competition, every business must be able to maintain a competitive advantage in both goods and services. Because of the rapid spread of COVID-19 beginning in the year 2020, small and medium-sized enterprises or SMEs have attempted to improve the flow of communication with their customers using social customer relationship management. There is a lack of knowledge about how social CRM can be effective for SMEs during the COVID-19 outbreak to increase customer focus, despite the growing interest in the adoption of social media by corporations. Much less is known about the factors that impact SME decisions to adopt social CRM and the impact that these factors have on competitive advantage in the event of the COVID-19 outbreak. Accordingly, the authors aim to conduct an empirical investigation into the role that social media can play, which has a significant impact on the management of customer relationships in SMEs.

Published: January 2023

This research focuses on the learning challenges that both students and teachers face during the learning process. It addresses the different techniques and methods used for face recognition. The proposed VTA model uses the convolutional neural networks to recognize the identities of the student. It gathers the facial expressions and body poses of each student in the classroom and predicts the attention level of that student, thus determining his/her learning capabilities. This research will help the students achieve their learning objectives by being able to get an accurate and real evaluation of their contribution and attention during the classes. Also, the proposed VTA model helps the teacher get some insight into his/her teaching methodologies during the class as the model will observe and record the attentiveness of the students. This research will have a significant positive impact on student success and on effective lecturing.
Research on the Influential Factors of Bilingual Teaching Based on Colin Baker Model Case Study of Macroeconomics
Authors: Fan Wen-Jing , Xian Pan
Published: January 2023

Bilingual teaching is the manifestation of the internationalization of high education and the key index of undergraduate teaching evaluation. Based on the modified Colin Baker model and the questionnaire of two universities in Zhejiang, this paper discusses the influential factors of bilingual teaching effectiveness in economics from the theoretical and empirical aspects and puts forward corresponding teaching suggestions. The main results are the foreign language level of teachers is not the main factor restricting the effectiveness of bilingual teaching at present and the professional ability and attitude of teachers are the most important factors for the improvement of teaching effectiveness. Objectively, students' interest in English has no obvious effect on bilingual teaching. Interest on English is not the key to being able to learn bilingual courses better.

Published: January 2023

As electronics and the increasing popularity of social media are widely used, a large amount of text data is created at unprecedented rates. All data created cannot be read by humans, and what they discuss in their sphere of interest may be found. Modeling of themes is a way to identify subjects in a vast number of texts. There has been a lot of study on subject-modeling in English. At the same time, millions of people worldwide speak Tamil; there is no great development in resource-scarce languages such as Tamil being spoken by millions of people worldwide. The consequences of specific deep learning models are usually difficult to interpret for the typical user. They are utilizing various visualization techniques to represent the outcomes of deep learning in a meaningful way. Then, they use metrics like similarity, correlation, perplexity, and coherence to evaluate the deep learning models.

Authors: Chen Jie
Published: January 2023

In the new era of informatization, big data, and artificial intelligence, the education field has also set off a wave of informatization development of English education. Teaching writing has always been the focus and challenge of English teaching, but there are various problems in English writing teaching in China. Problems such as difficulty in writing, vague expression, unclear main points, simple sentence structure, low vocabulary, etc. How to effectively carry out English writing teaching courses is worthy of our serious consideration. Based on this, this article studies the reform of English writing teaching methods under the background of big data and artificial intelligence. Survey data shows that only 10.53% of teachers often combine online teaching resources with English writing teaching, 25% of teachers have hardly used them, and 64.47% of teachers occasionally use online teaching platform resources. This shows that the reform of English writing teaching methods needs to start from the aspect of education informatization.
Movement Balance Evaluation for Basketball Training Through Multi-Source Sensors
Authors: Huang Guanghui
Published: January 2023

Balance ability is the basic sports quality of athletes. For basketball players, balance training includes take-off, turning, confrontation, shooting, landing, and other links. If the players have good balance ability, they can effectively prevent sports injury and competition interference and improve the performance of basketball competition. This paper adopts the acceleration signals from multi-source sensors to evaluate movement balance for basketball training. First, acceleration signals are collected by acceleration sensors to depict the basketball player's actions. Second, the hidden Markov model is used to describe the change or transfer of different states during player's actions. Third, the acceleration signal and observation sequence from hidden Markov are used to determine whether the player is under imbalance state. The effectiveness is evaluated on a private dataset.
Video-Based Metric Learning Framework for Basketball Skill Assessment
Authors: Mu Guangyu , Li Tingting
Published: January 2023

Video-based human action recognition has become one of the research hotspots in the field of computer vision in recent years and has been widely used in the fields of intelligent human-computer interaction and virtual reality. However, most of the current existing methods and public datasets are constructed for human daily activities, and the assessment of basketball skills is still a challenging problem. In order to solve the above issues, in this paper, the authors propose a coarse-to-fine video-based metric learning framework for basketball skills assessment. Specifically, they first use a variety of models to jointly represent the action video, and then the optimal distance metric between videos is learned based on the representation. Finally, based on the distance metric, a query video is coarsely classified to obtain the corresponding label of video action, and then the video is finely classified to judge whether the action is standardized. The experiments on a collected dataset show that the proposed framework can better identify and assess the non-standard actions of basketball.

Authors: Zhang Chang , Liu Bin , Mohammed Badamasi Sani , Jumani Awais Khan
Published: January 2023

The main problem for the big data for an e-commerce site is getting a meaningful data analysis, which the big descriptive statistics consider the most crucial usage. The collection, segmentation, and analysis of customer insights are critical to developing an effective and precise tailored experience for each consumer. Analyzing and segmentation of customer insights are essential to creating an effective and personalized experience for each customer. Using price optimization (BDA-PO), big data analytics has been proposed, enabling enterprising services like tourism, shopping, transportation, and creative industries to provide variable rates for products and services using Smart Technologies for E-Business and Commerce. Price optimizing can be automated with machine learning algorithms to enhance profitability when pricing decisions are taken effectively. When pricing decisions are made correctly, it is possible to automate price optimization using machine learning algorithms.
Fog Computing Quality of Experience
Authors: Vambe William Tichaona
Published: January 2023

Since its inception in 2012, fog computing has played a dominant role in addressing the quality of service (QoS). However, with the emergence of the internet of things and artificial intelligence technologies, which create a “smart world” where everything is automated, offering quality of service alone is no longer sufficient as it does not offer a satisfactory user experience. Quality of experience (QoE), which satisfies user experience and improves user performance, becomes vital and fog computing remains a key technology. To understand QoE, there was a need to distinguish it from QoS based on stance, scope, perspective, focus, and methods. A systematic literature review was done looking at works that use fog computing to maintain or improve QoE with the focus being on problems being addressed in a paper and how the results contributed to improving QoE. Critical analysis of the review showed that even though strides have been made to improve QoE, open research challenges still exist that require intervention to improve or maintain acceptable QoE in fog computing to satisfy user needs.
Exploration on the Operation Status and Optimization Strategy of Networked Teaching of Physical Education Curriculum Based on AI Algorithm
Authors: Wang Yujia
Published: January 2023

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and networked teaching have made great progress in recent years, especially the application of AI algorithms in teaching, which has been relatively mature. The online teaching of physical education (PE) courses is an important practice of networked teaching, but many colleges and universities ignore the importance of AI when carrying out such teaching work. Many colleges and universities have not played a good role in AI in teaching, which leads to inefficient PE teaching and low learning enthusiasm of students.
Indian EFL Teachers' Reflections on Sudden E-Adoption vis-a-vis COVID-19
Authors: Kundu Arnab , Betal Asim Kumar
Published: January 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a mammoth impact on all spheres of human life—social, cultural, mental, and academic—to different degrees. The current study reports the authors' reflection on the Indian EFL (English as a foreign language) teachers' pedagogical challenges and opportunities on a sudden shift towards OTL (online teaching-learning). The qualitative method used here is a content analysis of narrative representations from 50 EFL teachers working in different schools and colleges/universities referring to their experiences on this unforeseen teaching situation and suggestions for improvement. In-depth analysis revealed teachers' concerns over technical problems, lack of resources, learner motivation, and participation in addition to online assessment. Amidst these limitations, the participants tried to cope with this sudden shift with resilience and often with impromptu solutions—planning, access to digital equipment, collaboration, and school policy—for improving OTL.

Background: The axillary nerve and posterior circumflex humeral artery are compressed in Quadrangular Space Syndrome (QSS), which can be treated with conservative approaches or surgical decompression in recalcitrant instances. There are no clear guidelines for determining which surgical method is optimal for treating QSS and other disorders that mirror QSS.Objective: The goal of this study is to grade and review past, current, and planned medicinal and surgical care modalities for QSS.Materials and Methods: The review protocol is registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42022332766). To identify recent advances in the methods/techniques of medical and surgical management of QSS, PubMed and Medline databases were searched until March 2022 for publications, including case studies, case reports, and review articles, using medical subject headings terms like quadrilateral space syndrome, surgical management, and medical management. Throughout the study, all the authors scrupulously followed a well-developed registered review process and the risk of bias in systematic reviews guidance tool. Data on proposed medical and surgical management methods/techniques were compiled, and each was analyzed based on the underlying neuro-vascular systems.Results: There were 88 items found in the first search. Following applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 16 papers were chosen for synthesis in the review study after a thorough assessment. Three studies (conservative and advanced) focused on medical care of QSS, while 12 articles (prior, current, and newer) focused on surgical management of QSS. Only four of the 15 studies reviewed proposed different surgical approaches/techniques for surgical decompression in QSS.Conclusions: There were two regularly used surgical procedures discovered, one anterior/delto-pectoral and the other posterior/ scapular. The anterior route is more technically straightforward and can be employed for surgical QSS decompression.

Published: January 2023

Context

Previous research has found simulation with debriefing to be helpful in developing self-confidence, improving clinical competence, identifying knowledge deficits, and implementing knowledge into practice in the short term. However, the long-term implications of simulation curation and participation are unknown.

Objective

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term effect of large-scale simulation curation and participation as part of an advanced-practice athletic training course.

Design

Qualitative phenomenological approach.

Setting

Video-conferencing software.

Patients or Other Participants

From among 60 potential participants, 11 individuals participated in a long-term, follow-up interview to explore their recollections, perceptions, and subsequent experiences from curating and participation in large-scale simulation.

Main Outcome Measures

Deidentified transcripts were checked for accuracy and sent for member checking. Subsequently, a 3-person data analysis team used several sequenced rounds of review, aligned with consensual qualitative research, to the analyze data. Trustworthiness was established with member checking, multianalyst triangulation, and auditing.

Results

Three domains emerged from the data: emotional reaction, improvements to practice, and the value of debriefing. When the emotional reaction domain was described, learners focused on the reality, overload, and need to maintain composure of the encounter. Within their clinical practice, improvements were made primarily regarding mindset, teaching, collaboration, emergency planning, and triage. Finally, learners noted the value of debriefing as humbling, a time for realized deficiency, and a time of emotional decompression.

Conclusions

Simulation-based learning in advanced-practice clinicians leads to perceived increase in skills such as intra- and interpersonal skills and emotional readiness. Long-term effects of simulation demonstrated that learners could translate these skills into clinical practice even 2 to 3 years post experience. Finally, the use of debriefing is a critical component to both the learner's skill acquisition and translation of knowledge in all simulation-based experiences.

Published: January 2023

Background: To validate the treatment target of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) level according to the cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk which was recommended by Korean dyslipidemia guideline.Methods: We used the Korean National Health Insurance Service database which included 3,958,048 people aged 20 to 89 years who underwent regular health screening. The primary outcome was incident CVD, defined as a composite of myocardial infarction and stroke during the follow-up period from 2009 to 2018.Results: The risk of CVD increased from LDL-C level of 70 mg/dL in very high-risk and high-risk groups and from 130 mg/dL in moderate-risk and low-risk groups. Adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) of LDL-C ranges 70–99, 100–129, 130–159, 160–189, and ≥190 mg/dL were 1.20 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.08–1.33), 1.27 (1.15–1.42), 1.39 (1.23–1.56), 1.69 (1.45–1.96), and 1.84 (1.49– 2.27) in very high-risk group, and 1.07 (1.02–1.13), 1.16 (1.10–1.21), 1.29 (1.22–1.36), 1.45 (1.36–1.55), and 1.73 (1.58–1.90) in high-risk group. Adjusted HRs (95% CI) of LDL-C ranges 130–159, 160–189, and ≥190 mg/dL were 1.15 (1.11–1.20), 1.28 (1.22– 1.34), and 1.45 (1.36–1.54) in moderate-risk group and 1.07 (1.02–1.13), 1.20 (1.13–1.26), and 1.47 (1.37–1.57) in low-risk group.Conclusion: We confirmed the incidence of CVD was increased in higher LDL-C range. The risk of CVD increased from ≥70 mg/dL of LDL-C in very high-risk and high-risk groups, and from ≥130 mg/dL of LDL-C in moderate-risk and low-risk groups in Korean adults.

Published: January 2023

Objective:

To determine the suitable ecological habitats of Aedes (Ae.) aegypti and Ae. albopictus in Iran due to climate change by the 2070s.

Methods:

All data relating to the spatial distribution of Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus worldwide, which indicated the geographical coordinates of the collection sites of these mosquitoes, were extracted from online scientific websites and entered into an Excel file. The effect of climatic and environmental variables on these mosquitoes was evaluated using the MaxEnt model in the current and future climatic conditions in the 2030s, 2050s, and 2070s.

Results:

The most suitable areas for the establishment of Ae. aegypti are located in the southern and northern coastal areas of Iran, based on the model outputs. The modelling result for suitable ecological niches of Ae. albopictus shows that in the current climatic conditions, the southern half of Iran from east to west, and parts of the northern coasts are prone to the presence of this species. In the future, some regions, such as Gilan and Golestan provinces, will have more potential to exist/establish Ae. albopictus. Also, according to the different climate change scenarios, suitable habitats for this species will gradually change to the northwest and west of the country. The temperature of the wettest season of the year (Bio8) and average annual temperature (Bio1) were the most effective factors in predicting the model for Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, respectively.

Conclusions:

It is required to focus on entomological studies using different collection methods in the vulnerable areas of Iran. The future modelling results can also be used for long-term planning to prevent the entry and establishment of these invasive Aedes vectors in the country.

Published: January 2023

Objective:

To determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with tuberculosis mortality in Brunei Darussalam and to explore its underlying causes.

Methods:

A retrospective cohort study was conducted where data on socio-demographics, clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of all tuberculosis patients registered at the National tuberculosis Coordinating Centre between 2013 and 2017 were collected. Overall tuberculosis mortality and the proportion of tuberculosis-related deaths were calculated. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the risk factors of tuberculosis mortality when compared to those who are cured and/or completed tuberculosis treatment.

Results:

Of 1 107 tuberculosis cases, 99 died, giving an overall tuberculosis mortality rate of 8.9% (95% CI 7.4%-10.8%). Significant risk factors associated with tuberculosis mortality were age ⩾40 years (adjusted OR for 40-59 years was 3.89; 95% CI 1.13-1.69; adjusted OR for ⩾60 years was 22.3; 95% CI 7.27-91.9, using 20-39 years as reference), female sex (adjusted OR 1.74; 95% CI 1.09-2.79), having renal disease (adjusted OR 25.7; 95% CI 2.82-191.50) and having any cancers (adjusted OR 3.61; 95% CI 1.26-10.00). The majority (75.8%) of the recorded deaths were not related to tuberculosis.

Conclusions:

Tuberculosis patients who were older than 40 years, female, and having renal disease and any cancer will need close monitoring in their management program to prevent tuberculosis mortality. Clinicians should also focus on other non-tuberculosis aspects of the patient’s medical history.
Novel markers in predicting Brucella sacroiliitis: The platelet large cell ratio and basal immature reticulocyte fraction
Authors: Çelik Neslihan , Laloğlu Esra , Aslan Hülya
Published: January 2023

Objective:

To present platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), reticulocyte, and immature reticulocyte fraction (IRF) values as novel parameters in diagnosis and response to treatment in patients developing sacroiliitis.

Methods:

Sixty-eight patients with clinical symptoms and Brucella standard tube agglutination (Wright) or Brucella Coombs agglutination test titers ≥1:160 were included in the study. Two groups were established, one developing sacroiliitis and another with no sacroiliitis development. P-LCR, reticulocyte, and IRF levels were measured using a Sysmex XN-9000 device (Japan). These were then compared between the two groups.

Results:

Reticulocyte (P=0.037) and IRF (P=0.026) levels were significantly lower among the patients developing sacroiliitis compared to the non-sacroiliitis group, while P-LCR (P=0.003) levels were significantly higher. P-LCR had the most powerful correlation with sacroiliitis development. Significant negative correlation was observed between reticulocyte, IRF levels and sacroiliitis.

Conclusions:

Elevated P-LCR levels were observed as a marker of persisting inflammation in patients developing sacroiliitis, while low reticulocyte and IRF levels secondary to bone marrow involvement were detected. These three parameters emerged as highly significant markers in terms of diagnosis and reflecting responses to treatment in organ involvement such as sacroiliitis in brucellosis. These are presented as inexpensive, and easily accessible novel parameters.
