Difficultés de scolarisation chez l’enfant atteint de cancer
Authors: Scaon Sylvie
Published: March 2021

Le cancer est une maladie rare, mais elle représente la deuxième cause de mortalité chez l’enfant. Le traitement du cancer peut durer des mois, voire des années, pendant lesquels la vie n’est qu’incertitude. La place de l’école dans la vie de l’enfant relève de la volonté de tous. Bien que des liens se créent entre les milieux médical et scolaire, la complexité des agendas scolaire et thérapeutique entraîne une fatigue et une inquiétude latentes chez l’enfant. Les effets positifs du retour de l’enfant atteint de cancer à l’école ne doivent pas masquer les difficultés qu’il peut éprouver au quotidien.
L’écriture de récits aux deuxième et troisième cycles du primaire dans une approche pédagogique développementale engageante
Authors: Sirois Pauline , Vanlint Alice , Gravel Anne-Sophie
Published: March 2021

Le souci, certes bienveillant, d’encadrer l’écriture de textes de fiction par un plan de récit ayant une structure narrative prédéfinie pourrait brimer l’imaginaire et la créativité des élèves du primaire, freiner chez ceux-ci la prise de risques inhérente à la production de textes littéraires et affecter non seulement le développement des récits mais également l’engagement face aux activités d’écriture. Par ailleurs, l’insécurité ressentie face à l’enseignement de l’écriture et la complexité du déploiement d’activités de production de textes en classe sont régulièrement soulevées. Ainsi, devant la nécessité, d’une part, de proposer aux enseignants des démarches pédagogiques en écriture engageantes et, d’autre part, de permettre aux élèves du primaire de développer leur compétence scripturale dans un cadre d’écriture littéraire s’appuyant sur leur créativité et favorisant leur engagement, une approche pédagogique développementale a été développée. L’analyse des données recueillies auprès de trente-quatre élèves, qui ont bénéficié de cette approche pendant trois années scolaires successives, en plus de mettre en exergue la capacité de ceux-ci à élaborer leur propre schéma causal pour structurer leurs récits, a démontré le haut niveau de motivation et le grand sentiment de compétence en écriture qu’ils ont développé. Certes, cette approche pédagogique, qui suscite l’engagement tant des élèves que des enseignants, demande une grande ouverture de la part du milieu scolaire, mais elle pourrait répondre aux besoins de soutien et de renouvèlement régulièrement exprimés concernant l’enseignement et l’apprentissage de l’écriture dans la classe du primaire.
Écrire@lp : engagements différenciés dans un dispositif expérimental d’enseignement de l’écrit au lycée professionnel
Authors: De Amaral Cindy
Published: March 2021

L’article consiste en une analyse seconde de données recueillies lors d’un travail de thèse. Il propose de revenir sur un paradoxe apparent dans les résultats obtenus lors de l’expérimentation d’un dispositif pédagogique d’enseignement de l’écrit en atelier qui, alors qu’il visait à lutter contre les inégalités scolaires en matière de littéracie, semble avoir, au contraire, introduit une inversion des « hiérarchies habituelles » de la classe. Il s’agit de réinterroger les bilans dressés par certains élèves suite à cette expérimentation en analysant, à postériori, les données recueillies dans ce dispositif à l’aune de la notion « d’engagements différenciés » des élèves. La recherche tente d’expliquer, au travers d’études de cas, pourquoi certains élèves ont exprimé le sentiment d’avoir tiré peu de bénéfices de ce dispositif. En s’appuyant sur des éléments théoriques définitoires des différentes dimensions de l’engagement, les données recueillies et leur analyse se penchent donc sur le profil de ces élèves afin de chercher à déterminer s’il existe des facteurs explicatifs de leurs difficultés à adhérer au dispositif qui était pourtant pensé comme engageant pour les élèves de lycée professionnel.
Engager les élèves dans l’apprentissage de l’orthographe grammaticale française en milieu pluriethnique et plurilingue
Authors: Maynard Catherine
Published: March 2021

L’engagement des élèves, qui revêt des aspects à la fois affectifs et cognitifs, est un facteur clé de la réussite, notamment en littéracie. Dans les écoles francophones québécoises, où le paysage scolaire est marqué par une grande diversité linguistique et culturelle, l’engagement des élèves, qualifiés de « bi/plurilingues », se voit tout particulièrement favorisé par la mise en place de contextes d’ empowerment associés à la mobilisation de leurs savoirs et savoir-faire dans toutes les langues de leur répertoire. Dans ce contexte, pour soutenir l’apprentissage de la langue de scolarisation, il apparait judicieux de mettre en place des approches dites « plurilingues ». La contribution traite ainsi d’un objet d’apprentissage représentant un défi important pour l’ensemble des élèves scolarisés en français : l’orthographe grammaticale. A été testé un dispositif plurilingue visant à la fois à engager les élèves dans leurs apprentissages et à développer leur compétence orthographique. L’article explicite les critères auxquels répond ce dispositif plurilingue, puis illustre les manières dont il suscite l’engagement cognitif et affectif des élèves.
Engager les élèves dans l’apprentissage de la langue au collège
Authors: Lagrange Luce , Boch Françoise
Published: March 2021

La contribution traite d’un dispositif spécifique visant à engager des élèves de collège (13-15 ans) dans leur apprentissage de la grammaire : il s’agit de rendre stable et solide l’identification des classes grammaticales à travers une démarche inductive et multimodale intitulé la Grammaire en couleurs . L’article fait une description du dispositif et de ses caractéristiques potentiellement engageantes, puis rend compte de son utilisation en classe sur plusieurs années. L’analyse des observations liées à ces expériences successives donne lieu à une présentation de différents aménagements effectués afin d’engager l’ensemble des élèves dans la démarche, en particulier lors de la phase cruciale de formalisation des savoirs grammaticaux.
La médiation de la lecture, facteur d’engagement pour l’élève
Authors: Vadcar Anne
Published: March 2021

Dans cette étude, l’engagement de l’élève est présenté sous l’angle des gestes professionnels susceptibles de le favoriser. Il est abordé dans le contexte de la séance de découverte de texte de littérature de jeunesse en classe de Cours préparatoire (1 ère  primaire). Un première partie précise les enjeux de ce type de séance ainsi que les caractéristiques retenues pour le concept d’engagement et les apports théoriques sur les choix pédagogiques favorables à cet engagement. La seconde partie décrit les analyses effectuées à partir d’un modèle d’observation issu de l’anthropologie sur un corpus de vidéos de séances effectuées dans sept classes différentes dont la qualité d’enseignement a été vérifiée par la recherche Lire-Écrire au CP. La discussion qui en découle permet de présenter des caractéristiques de ces séances en termes de gestes professionnels, notamment pour créer un espace de négociation de sens nécessaire à la médiation culturelle de la lecture en milieu scolaire.
Écrire à l’université : de l’engagement des acteurs à l’évolution des pratiques
Authors: Bourdet Jean-François , Clayette Élodie , Salam Pierre
Published: March 2021

L’article analyse la mise en place d’ateliers collectifs d’écriture créative au sein des premières années de licences de Le Mans Université afin d’identifier comment ces actions ont permis d’engager l’ensemble des acteurs, étudiants et enseignants, dans un processus de renforcement des compétences écrites. En effet, depuis 2013 jusqu’à aujourd’hui, les étudiants ont été amenés à travailler en groupe pour rédiger des textes créatifs allant de l’article de presse à la biographie fictive en les accompagnant à la fois au niveau de la forme (formes de mots, accords, connecteurs, temps et modes conjugués…) et du fond (plan, argumentation, idées, personnage, prise en compte du lecteur…). S’appuyant sur des données principalement qualitatives, l’étude présente le dispositif développé et cherche à montrer comment les enseignants se sont adaptés à ce contexte didactique et comment ils ont renforcé l’engagement des étudiants dans ce projet. L’article se clôt sur la présentation des évolutions des profils observés afin d’identifier les facteurs de réussite de ce type de projet.
Mayotte, vers une île « forteresse » ? Histoire et conséquences d’une frontière controversée
Authors: Cottereau Victoire
Published: March 2021

Située dans l’archipel des Comores à l’ouest de l’océan Indien, l’île de Mayotte est le 101 e  département français. Ce petit territoire d’outre-mer présente la particularité d’être au cœur d’un conflit opposant la France à l’Union des Comores, ces deux pays revendiquant la souveraineté de cette île depuis plus de 40 ans. Bien que non reconnue par l’Organisation des Nations unies et toujours source de tensions diplomatiques, la frontière maritime autour de Mayotte est aujourd’hui un état de fait. Cette situation soulève de nombreuses interrogations sur la nouvelle organisation de cet espace géographique, du développement des migrations vers ce petit bout de France souvent perçu comme un « eldorado » en passant par l'évolution globale de l’île.

China’s Xinjiang propaganda and united front work in Turkey: actors and content
Authors: Klimeš Ondřej
Published: March 2021

Depuis que le Parti communiste chinois (PCC) a remanié, sous tous ses aspects, sa gouvernance sur le Xinjiang en 2016, ses politiques ont eu un impact pour ainsi dire sur tous les aspects de la vie des Ouïghours, des Kazakhs et des autres communautés ethniques de la région. La crise du Xinjiang est devenue un point de friction important entre une partie de la communauté internationale et la République populaire de Chine (RPC), contraignant le PCC à multiplier les efforts pour endiguer cette crise. Cet article explore les acteurs et contenus de la propagande et du travail du Front Uni mené par le PCC en Turquie pour orienter le débat public et les sujets liés au Xinjiang. Cette recherche examine principalement les développements récents dans les relations sino-turques ; la communication des acteurs centraux de la RPC avec les audiences turques ; les efforts du PCC pour établir des liens avec les acteurs politiques locaux et coopter leurs discours publics et réseaux médiatiques ; les mécanismes de communication opérés par l’organisation de visites officielles de journalistes turcs au Xinjiang ; et la propagande du CCP et le travail du Front Uni qui visent les Ouïghours résidant en Turquie, en particulier les commerçants et les étudiants. La discussion resitue les acteurs du CCP turcs et chinois examinés ici dans les systèmes de gouvernance respectifs. Enfin, l’article offre plusieurs exemples de tentatives du PCC d’adapter au contexte local sa propagande et son travail de Front Uni en choisissant le thème de l’Islam. Cette recherche s’appuie sur des sources écrites et des entretiens de l’auteur avec des informateurs ouïghours à Istanbul et Ankara menés en mai, juin et août 2019.
La covid-19 et l’urgence de la dette des pays de la CEMAC : cas du Cameroun ?
Authors: Eka Fred
Published: March 2021

La crise sanitaire sans précédent du COVID-19 a contraint le FMI, la Banque mondiale et le G 20 dans un beau consensus à se prononcer pour un allégement de la dette des pays les plus endettés notamment les pays de la CEMAC, la Chine étant au centre des discussions. Certains craignent qu’une Chine malveillante ne profite de cette crise du COVID-19 pour saisir des actifs stratégiques. D’autres rapportent qu’une Chine bienveillante a déjà « effacé » l’endettement de nombreux pays de la CEMAC. Cependant, on observe une évolution de la dette selon une courbe exponentielle qui semble être dangereuse et pourrait crée une situation de dépendance économique vis-à-vis de la Chine.
Beautifying Uyghur Bodies: Fashion, “Modernity,” and State Discipline in the Tarim Basin
Authors: Grose Timothy
Published: March 2021

Reléguée en petits caractères de la campagne des « Trois Nouveautés » ( san xin huodong ) du Parti communiste chinois (PCC), qui a débuté en 2017, se trouve l’interdiction de porter des « vêtements étranges » ( chuandai qiguai ). Bien que vague, cet énoncé signale un nouvel engagement dans la standardisation des pratiques vestimentaires ouïghoures. En 2011, avait déjà été mise en place une initiative multimédia de 8 millions de dollars américains sur 5 ans pour promouvoir une mode féminine « moderne » et encourager les femmes éduquées à retirer le voile islamique : le « Projet Beauté » ( liangli gongcheng ). Toutefois, la campagne plus récente visant à modifier l’apparence des Ouïghoures inclut aussi bien l’élimination du vêtement pieux que la dé-ethnicisation des standards locaux de beauté. A partir de rapports gouvernementaux et sur la base du concept foucaldien de « bio-pouvoir », cet article présente et examine les stratégies – création de concours de beauté, ouverture de salons et formation d’esthéticiennes – imposées par le PCC pour redéfinir la beauté féminine et transformer ces femmes en sujets chinois dociles.
Les actions civiles transnationales en réparation des « crimes du passé »
Authors: Porcheron Delphine
Published: March 2021

Le contentieux civil transnational portant sur la réparation des « crimes du passé » ne cesse de se développer depuis une trentaine d'années. Plusieurs traits en soulignent la singularité : l'extraordinaire gravité des faits à l'origine des actions en justice, leur impact sur la mémoire collective, les dimensions politique et temporelle des litiges. L'étude d'actions judiciaires intentées par des personnes privées devant des juridictions européennes, américaines et asiatiques révèle une approche distincte selon les juges saisis. Cet état des lieux incite à réfléchir sur la façon dont le droit international privé est amené à prendre en considération les configurations complexes de ce contentieux. Ces litiges, à la confluence des droits internationaux public et privé, amènent à combiner ces deux branches du droit, puis à envisager le droit international privé en tant que « droit sensible » à l'environnement particulier de ces affaires.

Ne relèvent pas de la juridiction de la Belgique, les réfugiés syriens qui avaient sollicité auprès de l'ambassade belge à Beyrouth des visas dits humanitaires et qui prétendaient que le refus des autorités belges les exposait à une situation contraire à l'interdiction de la torture et des traitements inhumains et dégradants sans possibilité d'y remédier de manière effective. Leur recours pour violation des articles 3 et 13 de la CEDH est déclaré irrecevable ratione loci.
Du juge compétent pour statuer sur l'action en opposition à exécution d'une décision alimentaire
Authors: Usunier Laurence
Published: March 2021

Résumé Le règlement (CE) n° 4/2009 du Conseil, du 18 décembre 2008, relatif à la compétence, la loi applicable, la reconnaissance et l'exécution des décisions et la coopération en matière d'obligations alimentaires, doit être interprété en ce sens que relève de son champ d'application, ainsi que de la compétence internationale des juridictions de l'État membre d'exécution, une action en opposition à exécution introduite par le débiteur d'une créance d'aliments, qui est dirigée contre l'exécution d'une décision rendue par une juridiction de l'État membre d'origine et ayant constaté cette créance, qui est étroitement liée à la procédure d'exécution. En application de l'article 41, paragraphe 1, du règlement n° 4/2009 et des dispositions du droit national pertinentes, il appartient à la juridiction de renvoi, en tant que juridiction de l'État membre d'exécution, de statuer sur la recevabilité et le bien-fondé des éléments de preuve rapportés par le débiteur de la créance d'aliments, visant à étayer l'allégation selon laquelle ce dernier a acquitté en grande partie sa dette.
La réception en droit français d'un mariage par procuration contracté par une femme étrangère
Authors: Ralser Elise
Published: March 2021

Résumé L'article 146-1 du code civil, qui pose une condition de fond du mariage régie par la loi personnelle des époux […], requiert la présence des seuls Français lors de leur mariage contracté à l'étranger (§ 8). Il résulte de la combinaison des articles 5 et 4 de la convention franco-marocaine du 10 août 1981 relative au statut de des personnes et de la famille et à la coopération judiciaire, des articles 146, 146-1 et de l'article 202-1 du code civil, dans sa rédaction issue de la loi du 4 août 2014 que la présence de l'épouse marocaine à son mariage, en tant qu'elle constitue une condition de fond du mariage, est régie par la loi marocaine. En l'absence de contestation touchant à l'intégrité du consentement, la disposition du droit marocain qui autorise le recueil du consentement d'une épouse par une procuration n'est pas manifestement incompatible avec l'ordre public, au sens de l'article 4 précité, dès lors que le droit français n'impose la présence de l'époux à son mariage qu'à l'égard de ses seuls ressortissants (§§ 9 à 11).
L’obéissance de l’individu et l’indignation contre la Loi : que peut la multitude ?
Authors: Espinosa Antón Francisco Javier
Published: March 2021

L’article traite de la relation entre l’homme et la loi chez Spinoza. Une première partie porte sur la question de savoir si l’individu doit toujours observer les lois. Dans la seconde, sous la conduite du Traité politique , nous passons à une perspective collective et on analyse la pensée de Spinoza sur la puissance de la multitude face aux lois. À la fin, on tire quelques conclusions pour la vie d’aujourd’hui.
Critique de l’indignation Désobéissance et obéissance absolue chez Spinoza
Authors: Jaquet Chantal
Published: March 2021

L’article revient sur l’affect l’indignation et critique l’idée répandue chez les commentateurs de son rôle constitutif dans l’État, en le limitant à une fonction de destitution ou de garde-fou. Il montre ensuite que la désobéissance n’est pas un droit civil chez Spinoza mais qu’elle relève du droit de guerre. Il établit enfin que l’obéissance absolue peut, contrairement à toute attente, consister à refuser d’exécuter les ordres.
Diffusion modeling of tumor-CD4$ ^+ $-cytokine interactions with treatments: asymptotic behavior and stationary patterns
Authors: Yang Wenbin , Gao Yujing , Wang Xiaojuan
Published: March 2021

In this work, we consider a diffusive tumor-CD4\begin{document}$ ^+ $\end{document}-cytokine interactions model with immunotherapy under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions. We first investigate the large-time behavior of nonnegative equilibria, including the system persistence and the stability conditions. We also give the existence of nonconstant positive steady states (i.e., a stationary pattern), which indicate that this stationary pattern is driven by diffusion effects. For this study, we employ the comparison principle for parabolic systems, linearization method, the method of energy integral and the Leray-Schauder degree.
A free boundary problem of the cancer invasion
Authors: Zhang Yang
Published: March 2021

This paper deals with a free boundary problem for the cancer invasion model over a one dimensional habitat in the micro-environment, in which the free boundary represents the spreading front and is caused by tumour cells and acid-mediated. In this problem it is assumed that the tumour cells spread from the given initial region, and the spreading front expands at a speed that is proportional to the tumour cell and acids' population gradient at the front. The main objective is to realize the dynamics/variations of the healthy cells, tumour cells, acid-mediated and the free boundary. We prove a spreading-vanishing dichotomy for this model, namely the tumour cells either successfully spreads to infinity as time tends to infinite at the front, or it fails to establish and dies out in long run while the healthy cells stabilizes at a positive steady-state. The long time behavior of solution and criteria for spreading and vanishing are obtained.
Regularity of global attractors and exponential attractors for $ 2 $D quasi-geostrophic equations with fractional dissipation

Authors: Guntur Muhamad Ikhsan Sahal , Setyaningrum Wahyu
Published: March 2021

The researchers implemented the quasi-experimental method of research. This research was conducted at SMAN 1 Ngemplak, Indonesia. The research was conducted from March to April 2020. In this study, the samples consisted of 70 students divided into two classes, namely Class A and Class B. The students in Class A received treatment by using the Augmented Reality Module (ARM). Meanwhile, Class B students were taught conventionally using a conventional module from the government and GeoGebra application. The instruments used in this study were written tests, the first test was in the form of multiple choices and consisted of 25 questions to measure students’ spatial skills, and the second test was in the form of essays, consisted of five questions in order to measure students’ problem-solving skills. The reliability of the tests had been tested before collecting the data. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (normality test, homogeneity test, paired t-test, and independent t-test). Based on the analyses' results, it can be concluded that Augment-ed Reality Module has a significant effect on students' problem-solving and spatial skills since there is an improvement in students' mean scores in the pre-test and post-test results. Besides, it can be concluded that Augmented Reality learning is more effective than conventional learning since the students are usually taught using conventional modules from the government and GeoGebra application.

Published: March 2021

Nas últimas décadas, as instituições estatais e os organismos internacionais têm enfatizado cada vez mais a tutela dos direitos subjetivos, tanto que a extensão gradual de seu reconhecimento, nacional e internacional, é geralmente apontada como um fenômeno típico da época contemporânea (ver Bobbio, 1990). Alguns observadores interpretaram a proliferação de Cartas de direitos e a tipificação de direitos de nova geração como um sintoma da crise do Estado de direito.
O conceito de barreiras atitudinais previsto na Lei Brasileira de Inclusão e a possibilidade de sua utilização para coibir outras discriminações
Authors: Vigliar José Marcelo Menezes , Naspolini Samyra Dal Farra
Published: March 2021

A Lei nº 13.146, de 6 de julho de 2015, denominada Lei Brasileira de Inclusão (LBI) ou Estatuto da Pessoa com Deficiência surge da necessidade de atender ao prescrito na Convenção Internacional sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência. O presente artigo trata de um de seus mais importantes temas, que é a remoção de barreiras, em especial, a remoção das “barreiras atitudinais” referidas e coibidas por essa lei. Os autores analisam referidas barreiras e sustentam a possibilidade de apropriação da disciplina contida na LBI para outras formas de discriminação, tais como o idoso, a criança, discriminações em virtude de raça, gênero, religião e orientação sexual. A pesquisa utiliza-se do método hipotético-dedutivo, com a análise da legislação e de autores que se dedicaram a estudar a LBI. Conclui que é possível, utilizando-se dos princípios que regem a interpretação das leis, estender a aplicação da disciplina da remoção das “barreiras atitudinais” para outras formas de discriminação igualmente vetadas pela lei.

Published: March 2021

In this study, the authors explore the integration of speaker-independent automatic Amazigh speech recognition technology into interactive applications to extract data remotely from a distance database. Based on the combined interactive voice response (IVR) and automatic speech recognition (ASR) technologies, the authors built an interactive speech system to allow users to interact with the interactive system through voice commands. The hidden Markov models (HMMs), Gaussian mixture models (GMMs), and Mel frequency spectral coefficients (MFCCs) are used to develop a speech system based on the ten first Amazigh digits and six Amazigh words. The best-obtained performance is 89.64% by using 3 HMMs and 16 GMMs.
Critical Care Considerations for Damage Control in a Trauma Patient
Authors: Gaasch Shannon
Published: March 2021

Traumatic injury remains the leading cause of death among individuals younger than age 45 years. Hemorrhage is the primary preventable cause of death in trauma patients. Management of hemorrhage focuses on rapidly controlling bleeding and addressing the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. The principles of damage control surgery are rapid control of hemorrhage, temporary control of contamination, resuscitation in the intensive care unit to restore normal physiology, and a planned, delayed definitive operative procedure. Damage control resuscitation focuses on 3 key components: fluid restriction, permissive hypotension, and fixed-ratio transfusion. Rapid recognition and control of hemorrhage and implementation of resuscitation strategies to control damage have significantly improved mortality and morbidity rates. In addition to describing the basic principles of damage control surgery and damage control resuscitation, this article explains specific management considerations for and potential complications in patients undergoing damage control interventions in an intensive care unit.

Authors: Garcia-Olivé Ignasi , Sintes Helena , Radua Joaquim , Deportos Jordi , Nogueira Isabel , Morales-Indiano Cristian , Abad Capa Jorge , Rosell Antoni
Published: March 2021

This was an observational, retrospective study, conducted at a tertiary hospital. All subjects with PCR-confirmed COVID-19 infection requiring hospital admission at our institution between the months of March and April 2020 were included in the study. We compared D-dimer levels in subjects who went on to develop a PE and those who did not. We then created a model to predict the subsequent development of a PE with the current D-dimer levels of the subject. D-dimer levels changed over time from COVID-19 diagnosis, but were always higher in subjects who went on to develop a PE. Regarding the predictive model created, the area under the curve of the ROC analyses of the cross-validation predictions was 0.72. The risk of pulmonary embolism for the same D-dimer levels varied depending on the number of days elapsed since COVID-19 diagnosis and D-dimer determination. To conclude, D-dimer levels were elevated in subjects with a COVID-19 infection, especially in those with PE. D-dimer levels increased during the first 10 days after the diagnosis of the infection and can be used to predict the risk of PE in COVID-19 subjects.

Published: March 2021

The aims of this study were to determine the short-term effectiveness of an internet-based lifestyle modification (LSM) program in preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in prediabetes patients in community settings. A total of 415 subjects who were diagnosed with prediabetes were randomly assigned to the LSM and standard management (SM) groups. After the 6-month intervention, the LSM group had a statistically significant reduction in body weight, body mass index compared to the SM group participants. In the LSM group, blood glucose levels were significantly decreased after intervention and the clinical improvement effect was evident in the group that achieved the target weight loss of 5% or more of the initial weight for 6 months. Internet-based 6-month-intensive LSM programs conducted by public health center personnel are an effective way to provide lifestyle intervention programs and encourage maintenance of healthy behaviors in subjects with a high risk of T2DM in community settings.

Six (60%) of ten patients with MALS were female and four (40%) were male. The mean age was 42.4 ± 12.3. The main symptoms were epigastric pain (100%) and weight loss (60%). CT angiography showed high-grade stenosis of the anterior wall of the proximal coeliac trunk and post-stenotic dilation caused by extrinsic compression of the MAL. Surgical procedure was uneventful in all patients. Operating time was 155.5 min (120–200) and intra-operative blood loss was 150 ml (100–250). Length of stay was 3.1 day (2–9), with no mortality. The post-operative complications developed in two female patients. One of them developed ileus and the other patient developed pulmonary thromboembolism. At 6-month follow-up, all patients were asymptomatic.

Conclusion:

Laparoscopic decompression is an effective treatment for MALS and can provide symptomatic relief. This method may be the preferred modality of treatment in view of its lack of morbidity and good results.
Segmental Darier’s disease, a rare disorder of keratinization
Authors: Ilyas Abeer M. , Maheswari Ujwala
Published: March 2021

We present a case of Darier disease which is a rare autosomal-dominant genodermatosis. It is clinically manifested by hyperkeratotic papules primarily affecting seborrheic areas. A 30-year-old male came with complaints of papules that were restricted to the lateral aspect of the trunk on the right side and right underarm area. Histopathological examination showed the acanthosis of the epidermis with premature keratosis and suprabasal acantholysis. Darier’s disease must be distinguished histologically from other acantholytic dyskeratoses. It has been observed that biopsy is fundamental to make the final diagnosis. However, a multidisciplinary approach is required to treat affected patients.

Authors: Nikhat Bano , Deshmukh Meghana , Dahiphale Devidas B. , Mishrikotkar P S. , Joshi Saurabh
Published: March 2021

Introduction:

In December 2019, the outbreak of a novel corona virus infection occurred in Wuhan City, China. Early discussions suggested that computed tomography (CT) should be the preferred modality for the diagnosis of COVID-19. However, the use of CT for COVID-19 diagnosis is controversial. Also, the detailed CT features of COVID-19 have been reported in only a small number of articles in the literature.

Objective:

To evaluate lung abnormalities on thin-section CT scans in patients with COVID-19.

Materials and Methods:

This study included the first 60 clinically suspected patients for COVID-19 infection. The patients have further investigated for COVID-19 infection by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) test and CT chest. We identified CT patterns suggestive of COVID-19 infection and calculated the total CT severity score. The imaging reports of the CT chest study were compared with the RT-PCR test results.

Results:

In our study, we had 37 male patients and 23 female patients. COVID-19 pneumonia was diagnosed in 55 of the 60 patients, but five patients did not show any commonly described findings of COVID-19 pneumonia. Of the 55 patients, the majority of them had ground-glass opacities. The bilateral lower lobes were involved in the majority of the cases. RT-PCR results show that, of the 60 patients, 37 were positive for COVID-19 and 23 were negative for COVID-19. The mean total lung severity score for the 60 patients was 11.5 (range, 0–25). Mediastinal lymphadenopathy was notably absent in all 60 patients and only five patients had traces of bilateral pleural effusion and only one patient had air trapping. In terms of the distribution of disease in the axial plane, peripheral distribution was found in most of the cases. The patients with higher CT scores required ICU admission and ventilator support, and had a poor prognosis.

Conclusion:

We found that chest CT may be useful as a standard method for the rapid diagnosis of COVID-19 to optimize the management of patients in hospital settings where nucleic acid testing kits are not available or available in limited quantities. Chest CT plays a crucial role in the early detection of COVID-19, particularly for those patients with a negative RT-PCR.

Published: March 2021

Background:

Research on smartphone and Internet addiction has increased rapidly, indicating its clinical and social significance. This study aimed at exploring the possible relationship between smartphone addiction, self-esteem, and social anxiety.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 464 young college-going adults participated in this study [male = 175 (37.71%), female = 289 (62.3%)] between the ages of 18 and 28 years old. The study participants were asked to complete a survey having three different questionnaires, namely “Smartphone Addiction Scale,” “Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Scale,” “and the Interaction Anxiousness Scale.” This study also focuses on gender and age differences regarding smartphone addiction. Karl Pearson’s correlation coefficient and unpaired t-test were used to test the significance of the relationship among study variables. Regression analysis was performed to predict smartphone addiction by using Age, Rosenberg’s Self-Esteem Score, and Interaction Anxiousness Score.

Results:

The mean smartphone addiction scale (SAS) total score was higher in males as compared with females (P = 0.01). No significant difference was observed in RSE total score and IAS total score among males and females (P > 0.05). Significant correlations were observed among SAS total, RSE total, IAS total, and Age (in years) (P < 0.05). Regression analysis was applied to predict SAS total score by using independent variables such as age, RSE total, and IAS total. The coefficients for age and RSE total score were significant (P < 0.01), and the IAS total was not significant (P > 0.05).

Conclusion:

Males reported having higher smartphone addiction levels as compared with females. A positive correlation was observed between Social Anxiety and Smartphone addiction. A negative correlation was observed between self-esteem and smartphone addiction, which indicates that the lower the self-esteem, the higher will be the smartphone addiction. Age was negatively correlated with smartphone addiction score and social anxiety score, whereas age was positively correlated with self-esteem.
Repurposing of a muscle relaxant drug thiocolchicoside as an anticancer agent
Authors: Medhi Shreya , Narvekar Simran , Srivastav Amrita
Published: March 2021

Introduction:

Conventional methods of drug discovery have somehow proved to be ineffective in terms of lengthy design, limited efficacy amongst multiple other reasons. Considering that “time” is an important factor in the process of drug discovery, it becomes necessary to look for newer methods. Drug repurposing can be considered as a suitable option in such scenarios; to treat cancer or diseases with rapid pathogenesis. Amongst the various types of cancer, breast cancer and more precisely triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) has become a prevalent form.

Objectives:

To overcome the challenges of conventional methods, several bioinformatic tools may be used, particularly those involved in molecular docking (CASTp, Discovery Studio, AutoDock Tools, etc.).

Materials and Methods:

Thiocolchicoside is a semisynthetic drug that was traditionally used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. In this article, we repurpose thiocolchicoside to act mainly on the NF-kB pathway. RANK and RANKL are frequently detected in the oncogenic process and together they participate in cancer development through TRAF6 activating the NF-kB pathway. Molecular docking of thiocolchicoside against TRAF6-RANK can exhibit the potency of this drug against breast cancer.

Results:

It was observed that cell viability was decreased when different drug concentrations were used against TNBS cell lines in vitro as compared with the control sample. The cell viability observed was 100% in the control sample, 95.93% in 15.625 µM drug concentration, 62.33% in 31.25 µM, 55.56% in 62.5 µM, 53.66% in 125 µM, 44.17% in 250 µM, and 39.84% in 500 µM.

Conclusion:

Repurposing a drug with the help of molecular docking is an effective method of drug development that reduces the time and cost factor due to its already known safety. Molecular docking of thiocolchicoside against TRAF6-RANK exhibits its inhibitory effect, and it can be effectively used as an anticancer drug.

Published: March 2021

We investigate dynamical properties such as topological transitivity, (sequential) hypercyclicity, and chaos for backward shift operators associated to a Schauder basis on LF-spaces. As an application, we characterize these dynamical properties for weighted generalized backward shifts on Köthe coechelon sequence spaces

k_p((v^{(m)})_{m\in\mathbb{N}})

in terms of the defining sequence of weights

(v^{(m)})_{m\in\mathbb{N}}

. We further discuss several examples and show that the annihilation operator from quantum mechanics is mixing, sequentially hypercyclic, chaotic, and topologically ergodic on

Exploring the Factors that Have Impact On Consumers’ Trust in Mobile Payment Systems in Australia
Authors: Mondego Domingos , Gide Ergun
Published: March 2021

Trust plays a vital role in the adoption of a new payment system in so far as people need to trust that the prevailing currency, or in other words, money, is recognised by all stakeholders. With the evolution of the payment methods, shifting from paper-based to electronic-based, building consumer trust has become a vital element for the success of businesses involved in the mobile payment systems sector. In this context, the aim of this study was to delve deeper into the factors that have impact on consumers trust in mobile payment systems (MPS) in Australia. A quantitative approach through a questionnaire survey was conducted to measure the data collected. The data of 200 participants were gathered using SurveyMonkey and the Excel spreadsheets was imported into SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) system, where the data were organised. Besides, this study adopted the Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), where the data analysis took place. The findings of PLS- SEM analysis pointed out that behavioural factors and organisational factors have significant impact on consumers’ trust, and this, as a consequence, have influence on MPS adoption. On the other hand, this research found that the technological factors, governmental factors and personal factors have no significant impact on Australian consumers’ trust and this, as a result, has no influence on MPS adoption.
