Published: April 2024

O tratamento por meio de implantes auditivos na orelha média representa uma abordagem avançada para lidar com a perda auditiva, uma condição que pode afetar significativamente a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos. Esses implantes oferecem uma alternativa valiosa para aqueles que não se beneficiam de aparelhos auditivos convencionais ou outras intervenções. No entanto, a escolha do implante auditivo mais adequado é crucial, pois existem várias opções disponíveis, incluindo implantes de condução óssea, sistemas de ancoragem ativa e dispositivos de ancoragem passiva. Cada uma dessas opções tem seus próprios requisitos técnicos e considerações clínicas, e é essencial examinar essas diferenças para ajudar os profissionais de saúde e os pacientes a tomar decisões informadas.

Ao explorar as diferentes opções de implantes auditivos de orelha média, é importante considerar não apenas a eficácia em termos de melhoria na audição, mas também fatores como conforto, estética e impacto psicossocial. Além disso, é necessário avaliar o desfecho geral dos pacientes após a implantação do implante auditivo, incluindo a adaptação do paciente, a qualidade de vida pós-operatória e a satisfação com o resultado. Essa avaliação abrangente pode fornecer insights valiosos sobre o impacto do implante auditivo na vida cotidiana e no bem-estar emocional dos pacientes.

Outro aspecto importante a considerar é a personalização do tratamento, levando em conta as necessidades individuais e preferências do paciente, bem como sua condição auditiva específica. Isso pode envolver uma avaliação cuidadosa do perfil auditivo do paciente, suas expectativas em relação ao tratamento e seu estilo de vida. Ao adotar uma abordagem centrada no paciente, os profissionais de saúde auditiva podem garantir que o implante auditivo escolhido atenda às necessidades específicas e proporcione os melhores resultados possíveis.

Em resumo, o estudo e a compreensão das opções de implantes auditivos de orelha média e sua avaliação do desfecho geral são essenciais para garantir o sucesso do tratamento e a satisfação do paciente. Ao considerar uma variedade de fatores, desde a eficácia técnica até o impacto psicossocial, os profissionais de saúde auditiva podem tomar decisões mais informadas e personalizadas, melhorando assim a qualidade de vida dos pacientes com perda auditiva.

Hak cipta, sebagai bagian dari Hak Kekayaan Intelektual (HAKI), merupakan hak yang dilindungi undang-undang di Indonesia. Pelanggaran hak cipta, khususnya penyebaran buku digital bajakan, sering terjadi di Indonesia. Data dari Business Software Alliance (BSA) menunjukkan tingkat pembajakan software mencapai 87% di Indonesia, dengan konsekuensi yang merugikan inovasi, lapangan kerja, kreativitas, dan pendapatan negara. Penelitian ini mencoba menjawab pertanyaan seputar kesadaran hukum mahasiswa terhadap penggunaan buku digital bajakan, faktor-faktor yang menyulitkan perlindungan hukum di kalangan mahasiswa, dan bagaimana perlindungan hukum terhadap penggunaan buku digital. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan analisis deskriptif dan yuridis normatif. Hasil kuesioner menunjukkan bahwa hanya 2,4% mahasiswa yang sadar akan hukum yang mengatur buku digital bajakan, sementara sebagian besar belum menyadari konsekuensi hukum dan merasa kurang terlindungi. Faktor pendorong penggunaan buku digital bajakan antara lain opsi legal yang mahal, kemudahan akses, dan kurangnya kesadaran terhadap hak cipta. Pelanggaran hak cipta dapat dikenai sanksi sesuai Undang-Undang Hak Cipta dan UU ITE. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa pembajakan merugikan pemegang hak cipta dan industri kreatif. Edukasi lebih lanjut diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kesadaran mahasiswa akan hukum hak cipta. Saran yang diajukan melibatkan peningkatan edukasi, penegakan hukum yang lebih tegas, dan promosi model bisnis yang adil dan legal dalam distribusi buku digital.

$K$-Ricci-Bourguignon Almost Solitons
Authors: De U.c. , De Krishnendu
Published: April 2024

We in this current article introduce and characterize a $K$-Ricci-Bourguignon almost solitons in perfect fluid spacetimes and generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes. First, we demonstrate that if a perfect fluid spacetime admits a $K$-Ricci-Bourguignon almost soliton, then the integral curves produced by the velocity vector field are geodesics and the acceleration vector vanishes. Then we establish that if perfect fluid spacetimes permit a gradient $K$-Ricci-Bourguignon soliton with Killing velocity vector field, then either state equation of the perfect fluid spacetime is presented by $p=\frac{3-n}{n-1}\sigma$ , or the gradient $K$-Ricci-Bourguignon soliton is shrinking or expanding under some condition. Moreover, we illustrate that the spacetime represents a perfect fluid spacetime and the divergence of the Weyl tensor vanishes if a generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime admits a $K$-Ricci-Bourguignon almost soliton.

Ramadan, Lived Religion, and the Celebration of Ambiguity
Authors: Jones Laura
Published: April 2024

In this paper, I demonstrate how the lived practice of Ramadan in the UK signifies a tolerance and celebration of ambiguity in everyday life. I position my work against Bauer’s (2021) argument that Muslims have become increasingly unaccepting of ambiguity and that this “intolerance of ambiguity in modern Islam is a phenomenon of modernity” (29). Rather, my participants tolerated seemingly contradictory ideas, embracing subjectivity and contrasting a post-Enlightenment emphasis on certainty and objective truth. I demonstrate these subjective and ambiguous attitudes and practices through several examples. Firstly, participants displayed an ambiguous approach to sacred times. This is explored in the context of variant methods of moonsighting – to determine the start and end of Islamic months – and the perceived unknowability of one of the most sacred times of the year, Laylatu-l-qadr (The Night of Power). Secondly, participants expressed paradoxical attitudes towards food, simultaneously shunning and rejoicing in bodily desires. My paper contributes to several contemporary understandings of Islam – including the works of Thomas Bauer (2021) and Shahab Ahmed (2016) – which tend towards the idea that Muslims today have become increasingly intolerant of ambiguity and subjectivity instead adopting more rigid and binary positions. I contrast such arguments, displaying particularly how the everyday, often domestic, practice of Islam is more nuanced and complex than public discourses might reveal. Furthermore, I argue that studies of everyday, mundane aspects of religion are vital in illuminating our understanding of Islam in the modern world.
Exploring Maternally Expressed Gene 3 as a Diagnostic Biomarker in Chronic Periodontitis
Authors: Suiyan Wu , Mei Zou , Junjie Yan
Published: April 2024

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of maternally expressed gene 3 in chronic periodontitis. Although previous research has linked long non-coding RNA for maternally expressed gene 3 to periodontitis, its role in chronic periodontitis remains unclear. Eighty chronic periodontitis patients and 80 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. Maternally expressed gene 3 levels in the gingival crevicular fluid were quantified through Quantitative Real-Time Reverse Transcription polymerase chain reaction. Additionally, serum proinflammatory cytokines were detected using Enzymelinked Immunosorbent Assay. Statistical analyses, including the χ2 test and Pearson correlation, were used to evaluate the relationship between maternally expressed gene 3 levels and periodontitis clinical characteristics. Results indicated a significant decline in maternally expressed gene 3 levels in patients with chronic periodontitis compared to controls. Furthermore, maternally expressed gene 3 was associated with probing pocket depth, attachment loss, plaque index, and bleeding index. Elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines, negatively correlated with maternally expressed gene 3 abundance, were also observed in patients. These findings suggest that maternally expressed gene 3 downregulation is a characteristic feature of chronic periodontitis, serving as a valuable diagnostic marker. This study contributes to understanding the molecular mechanisms of chronic periodontitis and opens avenues for novel diagnostic modalities.

Contemporary Graphic Narratives of the End: Sketching an Ecopolitics of Disorientation and Solidarity through Sf Bande Dessinée
Authors: Blin-Rolland Armelle
Published: April 2024

This article focuses on visions of the end in contemporary science fiction bande dessinée to explore the combined potentialities of the sf genre and the comics medium for imaginaries of world-rebuilding in the Anthropocene, and to develop an ecopolitics of disorientation and solidarity for a collapsing world. Bringing an ecocritical approach to queer and feminist theorizations of the politics of disorientation, it first discusses texts that draw (counter-)narratives of Anthropocenic futures, in which other-than-human agencies, spatialities and temporalities take centre stage in unsettling ways and collapse Western master narratives of the environment. In Jérémy Perrodeau’s Crépuscule, the non-linear storylines of an artificially created and now contaminated planet collide and assemble to disrupt the myth of a ‘virgin land’, rendering the erasure and slow re-inscription of genocidal and ecocidal violence. In Enki Bilal’s trilogy Coup de sang, it is the illusory hyper-separation of humans from nature that is dismantled through post-apocalyptic elemental graphics. The article then explores ways in which disorientation becomes fully productive as part of an ecopolitics when it is entwined with solidarity, a term that here extends beyond the human and is understood as a praxis of both care and resistance, drawing on ecofeminism and environmental philosophy. This is explored through Ludovic Debeurme’s trilogy Epiphania, which critiques and dissolves the human-animal boundary into enmeshed relationalities in sf visions toward multispecies communities and bodily and ethical mutations; and Jeanne Burgart Goutal and Aurore Chapon’s ReSisters, a choral narrative that makes use of comics’ potential for diffractive and participatory readings to draw the outlines of an ecofeminist uprising.

Investigating ripple pattern formation and damage profiles in Si and Ge induced by 100 keV Ar+ ion beam: a comparative study
Authors: Sulania Indra , Sondhi Harpreet , Kumar Tanuj , Ojha Sunil , Umapathy G R , Mishra Ambuj , Tripathi Ambuj , Krishna Richa , Avasthi Devesh Kumar , Mishra Yogendra Kumar
Published: April 2024

Desired modifications of surfaces at the nanoscale may be achieved using energetic ion beams. In the present work, a complete study of self-assembled ripple pattern fabrication on Si and Ge by 100 keV Ar+ ion beam bombardment is discussed. The irradiation was performed in the ion fluence range of ≈3 × 1017 to 9 × 1017 ions/cm2 and at an incident angle of θ ≈ 60° with respect to the surface normal. The investigation focuses on topographical studies of pattern formation using atomic force microscopy, and induced damage profiles inside Si and Ge by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry and transmission electron microscopy. The ripple wavelength was found to scale with ion fluence, and energetic ions created more defects inside Si as compared to that of Ge. Although earlier reports suggested that Ge is resistant to structural changes upon Ar+ ion irradiation, in the present case, a ripple pattern is observed on both Si and Ge. The irradiated Si and Ge targets clearly show visible damage peaks between channel numbers (1000–1100) for Si and (1500–1600) for Ge. The clustering of defects leads to a subsequent increase of the damage peak in irradiated samples (for an ion fluence of ≈9 × 1017 ions/cm2) compared to that in unirradiated samples.
Lessons From the Impact of Global and Domestic Economic Crises on Tourists’ Behaviour
Authors: Barreira Ana Paula , Cesário Marisa
Published: April 2024

Economic crises have been demonstrated to have profound consequences on the tourism industry. Insights from previous global economic and financial crises can provide valuable perspectives on the economic crisis accompanying the war in Eastern Europe. Through a survey conducted during the off-peak seasons of 2008, 2009/2010, and 2010/2011, we compared satisfaction with the attributes of the Algarve—a region globally recognized by the 3S’s— before global and domestic crises and after the global crisis. Our findings reveal that the international and domestic crises have not affected the image of the Algarve. However, this observation conceals shifts in how tourists perceive the destination's attributes. The valuation of accommodations and beaches declined between the pre and post-global crises. At the same time, the friendliness of locals and safety were more negatively impacted when comparing tourists’ assessments before the domestic crisis and after the global crisis. Results indicate that price reduction strategies adversely affect tourists’ assessments of the "value for money." This impact is more pronounced for tourists with higher education levels, who employ fewer "slicing" strategies. Furthermore, non-sovereign debt tourists appear to be more dissatisfied with a price reduction policy, possibly due to changes in the composition and quality of the offered packages.

Second Homes, COVID-19 Pandemic and the (Not So) “New Reality”
Authors: Opačić Vuk Tvrtko , Koderman Miha
Published: April 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all forms of spatial leisure mobility, including the phenomenon of second homes. New motives for second home use have emerged: the desire to escape the city crowds in a safe haven, the opportunity to work or study remotely and the need to spend vacations in commercial second homes, which offer more privacy than other accommodation facilities. The study aimed to identify changes in the patterns of second-home use and perception of second-home users on the Island of Krk during the pandemic compared to the period before the outbreak of the coronavirus disease. The research was based on a survey of second-home users. The data were analysed using descriptive, inferential and multivariate statistics (factor analysis, hierarchical regression analysis and MANOVA) with the IBM SPSS Statistics software. Changes in the perception of second-home use on the Island of Krk were noticeable. However, depending on the indicator, they did not manifest in significant differences compared to the pre-pandemic period and were present among 15% to 30% of second-home users.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) one of the most common infectious diseases has been seen as a global burden. Escherichia coli (E. coli) is responsible for causing majority of the UTIs. This study was conducted at Kantipur Hospital Pvt. Ltd. Kathmandu from July 2016 to December 2017.The research was conducted to study about the relation between pyuria and bacteriuria among patients suspected of urinary tract infection. A total of 464 mid-stream urine samples were collected. Out of total processed sample 97/464 was positive while 263 were culturally negative. E. coli accounted for 76.28 %( 74) of the growth while K. pneumoniae accounted for 9.27% (9) of the total bacterial growth. Other organism which were found were P. vulgaris 8.24 (8) S. aureus 3.09 %( 3), Coagulase negative staphylococcus (CoNS) 1.03% (1), E. facealis1.03% (1) and P. aeruginosa 1.03% (1). Amikacin was most susceptible drugs for E. coli with 90.54% (67) success followed by gentamicin 81.08 %( 60). Both amikacin and gentamicin proved susceptible for other gram negative isolates too. Among the total isolates 73 of them were found to Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) were E. coli 92.85% (66) has most number of MDR cases followed by 3.96 %( 4).It was found that female patient were more affected (79) than male patient (18).While on age group basis people aging between 21-30 years mostly had infection (31). Among the 464 samples, 78.67% (365) of samples showed insignificant pyuria. However, 4.12% of samples gave positive culture results. The highest Culture positivity, 28 (75.67%) samples out of 37 was detected in urine samples having pus cells of 6-10/hpf, whereas 5(33.33%) urine samples with more han 50 pus cells/hpf was culture positive. Female are more susceptible for UTI than Male and presence of pyuria can be good indicator of urine infection, though Culture should always be considered as gold standard.
Esoteric Rumination: Can Emerging Researchers in Zimbabwean Teachers Colleges Genuinely Disengage the Publish of Perish Intonation?
Authors: Senderayi Patrick , Senderayi Sihle Patience , Dube Bekithemba
Published: April 2024

The ‘publish or perish’ mantra has long defined university culture worldwide. This research paper thus explored research dilemmas faced by emerging researchers in teachers’ colleges in publishing research. In extant literature, not much attention has been paid to dilemmas facing emerging researchers in teachers’ colleges, particularly in Zimbabwe. This study was framed within the lens of the Integrated Theoretical Model of Research Productivity which argued that academic writing is a social practice encompassing power relations, identity and ideologically inscribed knowledge. The study used a qualitative research approach couched in a constructivist paradigm. Eight lecturers from a teachers college were purposefully sampled for face-to-face interviews and the data was subjected to deductive thematic analysis. The study found that emerging researchers decried lack of institutional funding support, training and mentorship, inadequate writing skills, and the absence of collaborative writing as major impediments. Writing was not yet part of the academic culture in teachers colleges which made emerging researchers lack the wherewithal to research. In light of the findings, the study recommends that to attain relevance in the Education 5.0 era, teachers colleges require a paradigm shift which will encourage the development of a writing and publishing culture to promote innovation.

A Conundrum of Makoti in the Light of Proverbs 31:10-31: Decolonising Mislaid ‘African Patriarchy’
Authors: Phalatsi-Shilubana Mmamajoro
Published: April 2024

The ideal wife, according to Proverb 31, is far more indispensable in any given society and plays a far less walk-over role in her marriage. Conversely, the highly recognised African term makoti, which originates from abroad (Dutch culture), reduces a newlywed to slave status, at least when understood from its linguistic context. This is because, according to the literature that is currently available, the term makoti originates from either the “Dutch/Afrikaans” phrase Maak ons tee, which roughly translates to “make us tea.” Consequently, when considered in light of Proverb 31 woman, the term makoti, as used in most African cultures, becomes problematic. This paper aimed to refute colonialist notions of African makoti by first describing the African daughter-in-law or recently married woman in the context of Proverb 31. Methodologically, through the employment of the decolonial theory and literature review, it confirmed that the esteemed African term makoti originates in Dutch culture rather than the African patriarchal corpus. The primary finding of this study was that, contrary to the stereotype of makoti that has been fortified by colonial context, the real African daughter-in-law is more akin to a Proverb 31 woman. The study concluded that correcting falsehoods like these contributes to the restoration of African culture’s dignity and the veracity of African history, while also challenging the continued colonial narratives that marginalize African women. This study enhances and contributes towards the decolonial agenda by dispelling stereotypes that misplace makoti as an invention of African culture.

RISK ASSESSMENT OF SUBWAY STATION FIRE BY USING A BAYESIAN NETWORK-BASED SCENARIO EVOLUTION MODEL
Authors: Li Xuewei , Yuan Jingfeng , Zhang Limao , Yang Dujuan
Published: April 2024

Subway station fires frequently result in massive casualties, economic losses and even social panic due to the massive passenger flow, semiconfined space and limited conditions for escape and smoke emissions. The combination of different states of fire hazard factors increases the uncertainty and complexity of the evolution path of subway station fires and causes difficulty in assessing fire risk. Traditional methods cannot describe the development process of subway station fires, and thus, cannot assess fire risk under different fire scenarios. To realise scenario-based fire risk assessment, the elements that correspond to each scenario state during fire development in subway stations are identified in this study to explore the intrinsic driving force of fire evolution. Accordingly, a fire scenario evolution model of subway stations is constructed. Then, a Bayesian network is adopted to construct a scenario evolution probability calculation model for calculating the occurrence probability of each scenario state during subway station fire development and identifying critical scenario elements that promote fire evolution. Xi’an subway station system is used as a case to illustrate the application of Bayesian network-based scenario evolution model, providing a practical management tool for fire safety managers. The method adopted in this study enables managers to predict fire risk in each scenario and understand the evolution path of subway station fire, supporting the establishment of fire response strategies based on “scenario–response” planning.

We report on the discovery of Swift J010902.6-723710, a rare eclipsing Be/X-ray Binary system by the Swift SMC Survey (S-CUBED). Swift J010902.6-723710 was discovered via weekly S-CUBED monitoring observations when it was observed to enter a state of X-ray outburst on 2023 October 10. X-ray emission was found to be modulated by a 182 s period. Optical spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of a highly inclined circumstellar disk surrounding a B0-0.5Ve optical companion. Historical UV and IR photometry is then used to identify strong eclipse-like features reoccurring in both light curves with a 60.623 day period, which is adopted as the orbital period of the system. Eclipsing behavior is found to be the result of a large accretion disk surrounding the neutron star. Eclipses are produced when the disk passes in front of the OBe companion, blocking light from both the stellar surface and circumstellar disk. This is only the third Be/X-ray binary to have confirmed eclipses. We note that this rare behavior provides an important opportunity to constrain the physical parameters of a Be/X-ray binary with greater accuracy than is possible in noneclipsing systems.
On the Chemical and Kinematic Signatures of the Resonances of the Galactic Bar as Revealed by the LAMOST-APOGEE Red Clump Stars
Authors: Sun Weixiang , Shen Han , Jiang Biwei , Liu Xiaowei

The Milky Way is widely considered to exhibit features of a rotational bar or quadrupole bar. In either case, the feature of the resonance of the Galactic bar should be present in the properties of the chemistry and kinematics, over a large area of the disk. With a sample of over 170,000 red clump stars from LAMOST-APOGEE data, we attempt to detect the chemical and kinematic signatures of the resonances of the Galactic bar, within 4.0 ≤ R ≤ 15.0 kpc and ∣Z∣ ≤ 3.0 kpc. The measurement of the Δ[Fe/H]/Δ∣Z∣–R with subtracted global profiles trends shows that the thin and thick disks values are Cor_Δ[Fe/H]/Δ∣Z∣ = 0.010 sin (1.598 R + 2.551) and Cor_Δ[Fe/H]/Δ∣Z∣ = 0.006 sin (1.258 R − 0.019), respectively. The analysis of the tilt angle of the velocity ellipsoid indicates that the thin and thick disks are accurately described as α = α
0 arctan (Z/R), with

0 with R appear in both thin and thick disks are the most likely chemical and kinematic signatures of the resonance of the Galactic bar. The difference in the phase of the functions of the fitted periodic oscillations for the thin and thick disks may be related to the presence of a second Galactic bar.
A Unifying Model of Mixed Inertial Modes in the Sun
Authors: Jain Rekha , Hindman Bradley W. , Blume Catherine
Published: April 2024

We present an analytical model that unifies many of the inertial waves that have been recently observed on the surface of the Sun, as well as many other modes that have been theoretically predicted—but have yet to be observed—into a single family of mixed inertial modes. By mixed, we mean that the prograde- and retrograde-propagating members of this family have different restoring forces and hence different behavior. Thermal Rossby waves exist as prograde-propagating waves, while the high-frequency retrograde (HFR) wave is one example of a member of the retrograde branch. This family of mixed modes has fully 3D motions that satisfy the anelastic form of the continuity condition. As such, the horizontal velocity is both vortical and divergent with the later flow component associated with a dynamically important radial velocity. The modes are differentiated by the number of nodes in latitude, with the lowest latitudinal order corresponding to the traditional thermal Rossby wave of Busse, the first latitudinal overtone to the mixed mode of Bekki et al., and the second overtone to the HFR wave discovered by Hanson et al. There also exist infinitely more modes of higher latitudinal order whose frequencies increase as the order increases. These higher overtones may correspond to many of the inertial modes that have been recently identified by numerical eigenmode solvers.
Les effets subjectifs des technologies persuasives : entre illusion et fiction
Authors: Pluchart Sandra
Published: April 2024

Dans cet article, nous interrogerons les incidences subjectives des technologies persuasives couplées aux réseaux sociaux. Nous soutenons l’hypothèse que ces dernières favorisent l’illusion de la complétude de l’Autre par la présentation de leurres en analogie avec la dimension spectaculaire de la magie. Nous supposons que ces images comportent des effets subjectifs et, au premier rang, l’envie comme un effet de cette présentification de l’Autre en la promotion de soi. Cependant, le sujet peut se dégager de la contemplation des images dans les réseaux sociaux, notamment en s’appuyant sur des modalités de création à la place. Ce mouvement pourrait permettre de sortir de l’illusion de l’omnipotence de l’Autre et donner accès à une fiction, reconstruisant une réalité autour du manque et relançant ainsi la logique désirante.

L’idéologie conspirationniste fait l’objet de très nombreux travaux ces dernières années, essentiellement dans le champ des sciences sociales et de la psychologie expérimentale. En revanche, rares sont les recherches qui l’abordent dans une perspective clinique psychanalytique. Les auteurs présentent le protocole d’une étude exploratoire interdisciplinaire qui a réuni une dizaine de chercheurs autour de l’étude des discours conspirationnistes en ligne. Il s’agissait de questionner leurs rapports au mythe et au récit, en interrogeant, au-delà de leur contenu, leurs éléments structuraux. Cette recherche a soulevé la question des rapports entre fiction et vérité à plusieurs égards : par son ancrage épistémologique, son objet, et sa méthodologie. À partir du dialogue interdisciplinaire qu’elle a occasionné, cette démarche exploratoire a permis de mieux situer les enjeux du récit et de la narration dans la recherche en psychanalyse. La méthodologie a pu être affinée, en référence aux dispositifs cliniques fondés sur l’associativité groupale. Enfin, elle a ouvert des perspectives cliniques et scientifiques, en lien avec la sensibilisation des adolescents aux ressorts de l’idéologie conspirationniste : l’objectif ne serait pas de chercher à dissuader les adolescents d’adhérer à la théorie du complot, mais de soutenir une transitionnalisation dans l’investissement idéologique par la médiation du jeu et du groupe.
Quand la radicalisation rencontre la fiction
Authors: Collin Thibault
Published: April 2024

Dans le présent article, nous envisageons les liens entre le processus de radicalisation islamique et la notion de fiction. C’est dans la construction du symptôme – car nous postulons que la radicalisation est un symptôme au sens psychanalytique – que se loge une forme de fiction ainsi que dans son articulation à la passion religieuse qui, sous son aspect mystique, tient aussi de la fable. Le recours à la fictionnalisation représente un moyen bien connu pour résister face au réel et ceci s’observe également chez les sujets radicalisés. L’utilisation de signifiants historiques, le choix d’un pseudonyme à consonance arabe et riche de sens ancrent les sujets dans un univers fictif qu’ils se choisissent. Enfin, les méthodes de propagande utilisées par les djihadistes font largement appel à des fictions connues pour leur caractère hollywoodien. Pour toutes ces raisons, nous pouvons proposer que l’imagination et la création puissent participer au processus de radicalisation. Cependant, la fiction de radicalisation se distingue de la fiction religieuse en cela qu’elle contient intrinsèquement de fortes nuances de fanatisme et d’intolérance qui soutiennent les actions violentes qui la caractérisent.
Violences conjugales : entre histoire de cœur et éprouvé de mort
Authors: Carne Apolline
Published: April 2024

En prison, les sujets peuvent éprouver des vécus corporels originaires faisant écho à leur histoire subjective et aux faits pour lesquels ils sont incarcérés. C’est le cas de Julien, condamné pour violences conjugales sur sa femme. En entretien, la médiation picturale soutient la mise en forme et en mots de ses éprouvés corporels, et en particulier ceux de son cœur. Il raconte une « histoire de cœur » : son cœur en tant qu’organe, mais aussi comme lieu des affects à l’égard de sa femme et de sa mère. Si Julien a l’impression que son cœur disparaît, il a aussi le sentiment d’être déjà mort. Il explique vivre en détention avec le « Cauchemar », une figure fantomatique condensant des sujets du monde des vivants et du monde des morts. À partir de cette rencontre clinique dans un cadre de recherche, et des éprouvés transféro-contre-transférentiels en jeu, cet article propose de développer une conceptualisation sur ces vécus originaires relatifs au cœur. La créativité du clinicien-chercheur sera alors sollicitée pour déployer leur spécificité. Nous cheminerons du trou noir au cœur à l’ envers de la vie et l’ envers de la naissance pour ensuite rendre compte du potentiel de créativité de Julien.
