Expériences limites de l’exil, du « non-lieu » à l’abri
Authors: Douville Olivier
Published: February 2023

La clinique des effets de l’exil trouve une consistance théorique et pratique parce qu’elle détaille les effets du déplacement, au-delà des usuelles considérations naguère prestigieuses sur l’interculturalité, dans la triple dimension suivante : – Du nouage entre sujet et lieu ; – Des effets de l’exil dans la génération ; – Du rapport du migrant aux dispositifs institutionnels ; Prenant appui sur une narration clinique, dans le contexte d’une équipe de psychiatrie « psychiatrie-précarité », l’auteur rend compte de la déchirure de l’exil, non seulement comme possible trauma, mais comme occasion d’une réinvention des rapports du sujet à ses montages identitaires et à ses altérités. L’étude sera faite de ce que cet exil si particulier provoque comme point de catastrophe dans les rapports du sujet à l’espace et au temps et aux objets contenus dans ces moments de catastrophe de l’espace et du temps. Des lignes de recherches qui interrogent l’usage de la notion de traumatisme seront explorées ainsi qu’une saisie de ce qui s’invente et se recrée comme localisation des expériences de ruptures culturelles dans ces parcours d’exil.
Les risques du refus
Authors: Delahaye Maud
Published: February 2023

Les notions de place et d’errance surgissent dans les rencontres cliniques avec des sujets en situation d’exil, de manière manifeste ou latente. L’ère actuelle est marquée par le durcissement des politiques migratoires, consubstantiel à la violence de la montée des extrêmes droites. Tandis que le clivage entre le dedans et le dehors des territoires est au centre du politique, la différence entre l’accueil et le refus des étrangers apparaît parfois peu claire et en fomente ainsi l’aspect insidieux. Or, le rejet et le refus exacerbent le caractère « discontinu » de la situation d’exil (Said, 2001, p. 757) et peuvent en faire une « expérience-limite » (Zaltzman, 1999). Les sujets en situation d’exil sont pris dans un paradoxe car sommés d’évoluer dans un espace sans place, d’être là sans exister. L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser les notions d’errance et de (non-)place à partir de deux rencontres cliniques, à la lumière de la psychanalyse et de la psychologie clinique articulées à des apports de la sociologie et de la philosophie. Il s’agit d’envisager de quelles façons l’exil peut se transformer en errance et de quoi cette errance est le nom. Comment pour certains sujets exilés la question de la quête de place subjective se déplie et de quoi le refus de l’étranger, au-delà du refus administratif, est le symptôme politique ?
Aux frontières des langues, des cultures et des papiers : les déplacements permis par l’analyste-passeur
Authors: Gebrim Ana
Published: February 2023

RÉSUMÉ Le présent article entend discuter des possibilités d’interventions analytiques dans le contexte des migrations contemporaines, face aux multiples frontières entre les langues, entre les cultures et dans le dispositif de réglementation des migrations et de l’asile. Nous réfléchirons ainsi aux possibilités d’intervention clinique dans ce contexte. À partir d’une réflexion sur la position de l’analyste en tant que passeur (Jacques Hassoun), nous aborderons la question du positionnement face aux scissions opérées dans le déplacement, notamment migratoire. La position de l’analyste peut favoriser le passage et la traversée en visant la circulation elle-même et l’installation des sujets dans la possibilité d’aussi bien transiter qu’habiter le double. Nous traiterons ces problématiques par le biais de quelques vignettes cliniques.
Télé-réalité et hétérosexualité
Authors: Kondracki Aziliz
Published: February 2023

Si la télé-réalité a fait l’objet de travaux en sciences humaines et sociales, rares sont ceux qui se sont attachés à comprendre la manière dont un contenu télévisuel de ce genre est fabriqué. C’est donc cette dimension que cet article entend explorer pour comprendre les conditions de production d’un discours médiatique sur le mariage hétérosexuel en Pologne. Il s’appuie sur l’ethnographie de la circulation transnationale du format télévisuel Mariés au premier regard et de son adaptation locale en Pologne. Cet article analyse ainsi les médiations à l’œuvre pour la circulation de cette marchandise et la manière dont les personnes engagées dans la production de la version polonaise donnent sens à ce qu’elles font. Il propose finalement d’étudier comment l’émission polonaise participe à la réification du mariage hétérosexuel en tant qu’idéal normatif.
Scripts d’usage et scripts sexuels au service de la rencontre d’un soir
Authors: Sobocinska Daria
Published: February 2023

À partir d’une enquête par entretiens semi-directifs auprès de jeunes adultes hétérosexuels et de l’analyse du fonctionnement de deux applications de rencontres – Tinder et Fruitz  –, cet article questionne les mécanismes qui rendent possible la sexualité dite « sans lendemain » sur les applications de rencontres. En s’appuyant à la fois sur la sociologie des dispositifs techniques et sur la sociologie des sexualités, cet article montre comment certaines applications de rencontres mettent en place des scripts d’usage qui permettent cette sexualité. Proposant un regard sur les utilisateurs, cet article interroge également les manières dont sont reçus et retravaillés ces scripts d’usage. En s’appuyant sur des scripts sexuels qui accordent une place centrale aux interactions partiellement désexualisées et à la séduction, les usagers des applications retravaillent les outils proposés par les plateformes de rencontres afin d’accéder à la sexualité sans lendemain tout en lui donnant un sens en accord avec leurs représentations.
Zadnje desetletje od sedmih (1951/2011–2021): Inštitut za slovensko narodopisje v še enem desetletju izzivov
Authors: Slavec Gradišnik Ingrid
Published: February 2023

Avtorica se ozira v zadnje desetletje dela in življenja v Inštitutu za slovensko narodopisje ZRC SAZU. V prvem delu pokaže na nekaj vezi z začetki delovanja inštituta, s poudarkom na tem, kako sta se veda (narodopisje, etnografija) in inštitut postavila v družbo. V drugem je razgrnjen zemljevid projektnih in programskih vsebin v letih 2011–2021, razpetih med že utrjenimi inštitutskimi znanstvenimi interesi (disciplinarna in institucionalna identiteta) in sodobnim razmerjem z aktualnimi družbenimi temami, ki jih pogosto narekujejo razpisi različnih raziskovalnih projektov. Ti so namreč v veliki meri krojili obstanek na sodobnem raziskovalnem tržišču, ko se je zahtevi »objavljaj ali izgini« pridružila rešitev v »prijavljaj aplikativne projekte«. Izkušnjo turbulentnega desetletja sklepa misel o odprti, avtonomni in počasni znanosti.
Materinščina kot dediščina? Problematika jezikovne dediščine na primeru vpisov v Register nesnovne kulturne dediščine
Authors: Mrvič Rok
Published: February 2023

Leta 2015 je nastal prvi vpis jezikovnega oz. narečnega sistema kot dediščinske enote v Register nesnovne kulturne dediščine Republike Slovenije. Področje t. i. jezikovne dediščine v kulturnih politikah držav pogodbenic izkazuje nedosledno vodenje dediščinskih praks glede na Unescove mednarodne sporazume, zlasti Konvencije o varovanju nesnovne kulturne dediščine (2003). V prispevku obravnavamo ključne zakonodajne dokumente, ki zadevajo nesnovno kulturno dediščino, in enote, vpisane v državni register, da bi ovrednotili, kako v Sloveniji poteka upravljanje z jezikovno dediščino, ter spodbudili širšo razpravo o dolgoročnem urejanju tega področja.
Digital Maturity Models
Authors: Yılmaz Kemal Özkan
Published: February 2023

This chapter aims to create a general framework on digital maturity models and reveal the highlights of the commonly used components of digital maturity models. The emphasis will be more on detailing human-related fundamental aspects of digital maturity models rather than the technological ones. Considering the incrementally increasing options to reach collaboration technologies and swift deployment of them to different sectors, the main challenge still remains as to manage the psychological asset related parts. Although technology is generally perceived as mechanical, whose boundaries can be drawn, tasks to be assigned can be defined; the technological elements within the concept of digital maturity also intersects with the human-related dimensions of digital transformation. The study aims to advise a systematic approach by offering a theoretical framework to manage human-related factors in a digital transformation journey with an inclusive perspective positioning technology as the core medium provider and contributes to the theoretical background in the field of study.

Authors: Diana Cozmiuc Claudia , Florica Cosmina Carmen , Albu Delia , Greti Avram , Dondera Octavian
Published: February 2023

The past decades have seen the emergence of business ecosystems. Their historic evolution is important, as ecosystems are deemed new business models to progressively replace the old ones. Ecosystems are broadly and vaguely defined in literature review, where they represent new network business models. Empirical data about European project calls show precise definitions of ecosystem types and activities that are subject to European project funding calls. These definitions apply to new commercial entities recently created and funded by such European project calls. The chapter aims to build theory with a case study about emerging business practices with high instrumental value to other businesses, which may apply for European project calls. The methodology is a descriptive case study. Findings are the level of detail and focus on business practices exceed that of general and vague theory, thereby allowing business practice to contribute to theory and enrich it. Definitions of ecosystem entities and ecosystems management activities to be used across the European Union are this addition.
Beyond the Business Model Canvas Universe
Authors: Nybye Nicolai , Ellborg Katarina
Published: February 2023

The business model canvas (BMC) has become the leading way to visualize business models and an omnipresent global language in management practice and education. This chapter draws on critical entrepreneurship research and applies semiotics to conduct an analysis of the BMC language and to explore what entrepreneurship narratives unfold in the BMC. The analysis shows that the BMC language (re)emphasizes an established view of business models with an underlying planning perspective and an individualistic understanding of the (male) entrepreneur in a traditional business context. In addition, the BMC language stresses a non-critical, bright side of entrepreneurship where value is transmitted from entrepreneurs to waiting customers. The suggested semiotic method and the presented analysis of the BMC can be used by mangers and educators to reflect on what the BMC universe offers in terms of, for example, disruptive and digital perspectives, and thus the consequences for logics in new business models.
Digital Transformation-Driven Business Model Innovation
Authors: Wirtz Bernd W. , Kubin Pascal R. M.
Published: February 2023

The digital transformation is a global phenomenon that has a tremendous impact on societies and in particular businesses. The continuous changes caused by the digital transformation stimulate business model innovation (BMI). Against this background, this conceptual study analyzes how digital transformation can drive BMI and how companies can coordinate and/or mobilize their resources and strategic efforts to facilitate digital transformation-driven BMI. For this purpose, this study initially classifies different forms of the digital transformation according to their complexity and intensity. It then outlines macro, meso, and micro level catalysts of the digital transformation and their effects on business models. Drawing upon these findings, the study demonstrates that digital transformation-driven BMI should primarily target the creation of integrated digital customer interfaces. Finally, the study conceptualizes a digital transformation-driven BMI framework that supports companies in aligning their BMI efforts with the objective of creating integrated digital customer interfaces.
SME Digital Content Engagement With Online Customers
Authors: Petersen Nicolaj Hannesbo , Knudsen Gry Høngsmark , Taklo Lone Vind
Published: February 2023

Modern consumers are active co-producers of content published on companies' different online platforms, but content must be relevant and engaging for customers to participate. Therefore, digital content marketing continuously calls for an improved amount of data and research to create and customize relevant, value-creating content for the company's stakeholders. Theory argues that brand-related, value-creating, and relevant content is an open invitation to engage with a company to build the necessary trust with customers and at the same time establish a closer relationship between the two parties. Transforming marketing strategies to a digital content-based paradigm has successfully been applied in large companies with in-house marketing and communication departments and/or large marketing budgets. However, for small and medium-sized enterprises transforming their marketing strategy to a digital content strategy is challenging. This case study demonstrates challenges of SMEs in digitally transforming their marketing strategies and SoMe engagement from their customers' perspectives.
Flipped Spiral Foreign Language Assessment Literacy Model (FLISLALM) for Developing Pre-service English Language Teachers' Language Assessment Literacy
Authors: Hatipoğlu Çiler
Published: February 2023

Foreign language (FL) assessment is one of the most critical and challenging areas for pre-service FL teachers to develop. It is essential since various studies have shown that typical teachers spend up to half of their professional time in assessment-related activities. The area is difficult because its theoretical concepts are highly abstract. Because of these, for several years now, experts have emphasised the necessity of developing the language assessment literacy (LAL) of pre-service FL teachers and encouraged academics to research this area. In response to these calls, this chapter describes the developmental stages of the flipped spiral language assessment literacy model (FLISLALM) used to teach the undergraduate English Language Testing and Evaluation course in an FL teacher training program in Turkey. The model was developed using Brindley's and Giraldo's LAL frameworks and data from student questionnaires, product outputs, and self-assessment presentations collected between 2009-2020. The model aims to maximise prospective Turkish FL teachers' LAL growth.
Dynamic Assessment in an Inclusive Pre-K FLEX Program Within Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Framework
Authors: Peker Hilal
Published: February 2023

This chapter discusses how dynamic assessment (DA) is utilized for both instruction and assessment by using universal design for learning (UDL) framework to support inclusive education of young learners with special needs in a program offering French as a foreign language (FFL). The author focuses on incorporating DA in order to better understand student learning in this inclusive, prekindergarten FFL program. There have been some studies conducted with foreign language programs at the elementary level and higher or with typical young learners in an English as a second or foreign language setting; however, there are not enough studies focusing on foreign language programs with special needs students (SNSs) because these programs are not often available to many SNSs due to the practice of exemption. Thus, it is crucial to use DA as a tool for both instruction and assessment to be able to understand SNSs' needs and learning gains. In this chapter, DA is examined and implications for inclusive education are provided.

Despite recent developments, some firms have led with changes in the environment for centuries to survive, being one of the tools used for corporate sustainability. This chapter analyzes how the most long-living companies in the world have carried out sustainable businesses through embeddedness and collaboration with the environment, mostly by the use of intangible resources and capabilities, in order to remain in the market. With a narrative perspective, the authors expose some of the practices developed by the abovementioned companies. The main conclusions extracted from those firms are aimed to be potentially applied to current companies and, thus, enhance corporate sustainability and survival through already proven mechanisms.
Corporate Sustainability as a Tool for Improving Economic, Social, and Environmental Performance
Authors: Mira Mohammed Saud
Published: February 2023

Saudi government pays high attention to the public sectors, such as Saudi Port Authority, in order to gain high level of competition in the global market. Saudi ports, which are considered as one of the busiest ports in the world, and the largest in the Middle East area. However, it has recently faced a severe problem of overstock of commodities. Although, the ports have significant contribution to the local economy, but, improper work environments and the heavy duty of the work has resulted in dissatisfaction and a low level of employees comments among cargo employees, which results in overstock of commodities at Saudi Ports Authority. Questionnaires were distributed to 365 government workers in the cargo sector, 285 were filled up. The outcomes of the study imply that work stress and working conditions may positively affect employee commitment, and that job happiness is an essential factor that workers can embrace in reaching their goals. On the other hand, workplace stress and working conditions might enhance commitment indirectly by giving job satisfaction.

Published: February 2023

To overcome the adverse effects of climate change, wineries can develop environmental management programs to save and reutilize the resources they use. This represents a change of business paradigm in the wine sector that can be extremely beneficial, given that, on the one hand, wineries that develop their environmental management can save costs and protect the environment, favoring the preservation of the environment to ensure the permanence of the sector in the territory; and, on the other hand, such management can serve as a differentiating element in the market, allowing the winery to generate a competitive advantage. The objective of this study is to know precisely what practices can be developed to ensure a correct environmental management. To this end, through a multiple case study, a decalogue of practices is identified that every winery can develop to favor the preservation of the environment in which it operates.

Authors: Vargas-Hernandez José G. , Vargas-González Omar C.
Published: February 2023

This paper has the purpose to analyze the socio-economic sustainability in the post-pandemic era based on an organizational structural construct based on a framework for elements for reliability, safety, and deployment of organizational resources. It is assumed that theoretical and empirical studies in organizational resilience have limited contributions on the concepts of high-reliability organization applied to a diversity of entities and with a variety of characteristics. The method employed is the analytical reflective of the theoretical and empirical literature review. This study concludes that the emerging concept of organizational resilience confirms that the creation and development of an organizational resilience framework for structural construct can be supported by elements based on flexibility of organizational culture, organizational safety, and reliability, the promotion elements, and the deployment of organizational resources.

Neste estudo, analisou-se a presença de pressões isomórficas em julgamentos, escolhas contábeis, de estudantes e profissionais da área, após a adoção das IFRS. O isomorfismo foi considerado sob as óticas coercitiva, mimética e normativa. Para tanto foi realizada uma Survey, com os participantes divididos em: estudantes; profissionais inexperientes e profissionais experientes. Estes foram subdivididos em subgrupos: de controle; coercitivo; mimético e normativo. A amostra foi composta por 346 observações, sendo 98 estudantes, 129 profissionais inexperientes e 119 profissionais experientes. Os julgamentos, escolhas analisadas foram baseadas em práticas de depreciação do imobilizado. As hipóteses testadas foram de escolhas semelhantes dos participantes da pesquisa, sob pressões isomórficas e não (grupo de controle), na prática contábil sobre a depreciação contábil ou fiscal, H0, ou de escolhas diferentes, H1. As análises foram por meio do teste do Qui-quadrado, com o software estatístico SPSS. Os resultados demonstram que se comparados ao grupo de controle (sem influência isomórfica), tanto o profissional contábil inexperiente quanto o experiente, são suscetíveis às pressões isomórficas coercitivas e normativas, enquanto os estudantes não tiveram essas influências. Os condicionantes normativos, de experiência, formação na área (profissional já graduado) e comparações com o que é “melhor” para legitimação parecem interferir nas opções contábeis de práticas aplicadas ao imobilizado.

Comprehensive Survey on Detecting Security Attacks of IoT Intrusion Detection Systems
Authors: Ramesh Kumar M. , Sudhakaran Pradeep
Published: February 2023

With the growth of Internet of Things (IoT), which connects billions of small, smart devices to the Internet, cyber security has become more difficult to manage. These devices are vulnerable to cyberattacks because they lack defensive measures and hardware security support. In addition, IoT gateways provide the most fundamental security mechanisms like firewall, antivirus and access control mechanism for identifying such attacks. In IoT setting, it is critical to maintain security, and protecting the network is even more critical in an IoT network. Because it works directly at local gateways, the Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) is one of the most significant solutions for securing IoT devices in a network. This research includes various IoT threats as well as different intrusion detection systems (IDS) methodologies for providing security in an IoT environment, with the goal of evaluating the pros and drawbacks of each methodology in order to discover future IDS implementation paths.
Classification of Imbalanced Datasets Using Various Techniques along with Variants of SMOTE Oversampling and ANN
Authors: Shrinidhi M. , Kaushik Jegannathan T.K. , Jeya R.
Published: February 2023

Using Machine Learning and / or Deep Learning for early detection of diseases can help save people’s lives. AI has already been making progress in healthcare as there are newer and improved software to maintain patient records, produce better imaging for error free diagnosis and treatment. One drawback working with real-life datasets is that they are predominantly imbalanced in nature. Most ML and DL algorithms are defined keeping in mind that the dataset is equally distributed. Working on such imbalanced datasets cause the models to end up having high type-1 and type-2 error which is not ideal in the medical field as it can misdiagnose and be fatal. Handling class imbalance thus becomes a necessity lest the ML/DL model fails to learn and starts memorizing the features and noises belonging to the majority class. PIMA Dataset is one such dataset with imbalances in classes as it contains 500 instances of one type and 268 instances of another type. Similarly, the Wisconsin Breast Cancer (Original) Dataset is also a dataset containing imbalanced data related to breast cancer with a total of 699 instances where 458 instances are of one class (Benign tumor images) while 241 instances belong to the other class (Malignant tumor images). Prediction/detection of onset of diabetes or breast cancer with these datasets would be grossly erroneous and hence the need for handling class imbalance increases. We aim at handling the class imbalance problem in this study using various techniques available like weighted class approach, SMOTE (and its variants) with a simple Artificial Neural Network model as the classifier.

Published: February 2023

Innovative environments such as fog computing, which offer computation, data management, and other applications at the network edge, are gaining prominence. Fog networks with Wi-Fi offloading determined to be among the most acceptable methods for combating significant data increases in cellular networks. Fog nodes used to relay traffic and computations are situated nearby, making them excellent relay points. So, why networks have grown as rapidly as they have, and it's left its imprint on their performance. On the other hand, fog computing has recently developed to help Content-Centric Networking (CCN) decrease the amount of traffic. It has shown to be an effective method to reduce network latency and process time in industries and traffic. The use of Vehicle to Device technology for transferring network data in the mobile environment is expected to take off, particularly for autonomous cars. This study considers how to balance energy usage and service delay while allocating mobile traffic among vehicle networks. This article proposes a new paradigm for describing users' desire to provide their mobile vehicle resources to the public. The suggested methods are evaluated via comprehensive simulations, using various mobile movement traces. Additionally, Deep learning algorithm with how an online traffic monitoring for training and how important it is to know that train is possible. In conclusion, this methods proved to be better than previous benchmark techniques for fog networks.
Optimizing Information Leakage in Multi Cloud Storage Services
Authors: Baalagi R. , Sindhura H. , Keerthi M. , Dilip Golda
Published: February 2023

Many new strategies for storing data across different clouds have lately been proposed. Because a single point of attack can’t leak all the information, distributing data among multiple cloud storage providers (CSP) automatically gives users some control over information leaking. However, if data chunks are dispersed in an unstructured way over different clouds, there will be a lot of information leakage. To prevent data loss due to hacking or server failure, the data is uploaded to different servers. To access owners' data, secure files, and prevent data leakage, we employ advanced techniques such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE).
A Flexible and Investigation Approach for Encrypted Features Space Using Neural Network
Authors: Archana T. , Banu J. Faritha , Prasad Sheetal , Shrivastava Piyush Raj
Published: February 2023

Replication, in general, is defined as repeating a study's technique and assessing whether the previous finding re-occurs. Research can become replicable when a person can copy the same content and arrive at the same conclusion as the original study. In this paper, an approach control mechanism for article observation replicas is been proposed. The usage of encrypted pictures or encoded attribute plots has been shown to be successful in preventing unwanted approach to models. The approach's efficiency has only been verified in image organization models and semantic analysis models but not in article recognition models. For the first time, encoded feature plots have proved to be successful in the control of article observation replicas. A safe and efficient technique based on completely homomorphic encryption is used and its usefulness for a variety of real data is been demonstrated. The suggested technique is the first to directly replicate an algorithm on ciphertext, which is one of the best performers on the plaintext feature selection problem. Furthermore, the suggested protocol is extensible to the scenario of more than three data owners.

Abnormal proximal aortic origin of the brachiocephalic artery is a very rare condition. It can occur in isolation or associated with complex congenital heart disease affecting the right ventricular outflow tract. Its recognition carries relevant surgical implications for the safe conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass and for any surgical procedures that directly involve the proximal ascending aorta and its branches.
New-onset headache after percutaneous atrial septal defect closure
Authors: Gangopadhyay Debasree , Roy Mahua
Published: February 2023

Background:

Percutaneous closure of atrial septal defect (ASD) is a well-established procedure both in children and adults with very good long-term outcomes. Migraine headache (MHA) can be precipitated after ASD device closure and the mechanism is not fully understood.

Methods:

We reviewed medical records of all patients undergoing ASD device closure from January 2015 to January 2021 for new onset headache after the procedure. Diagnosis of migraine was established by guidelines of the International Headache Society.

Results:

Out of 325 patients undergoing ASD device closure, five patients (1.5%) of various age groups (range 3.5–35 years) complained of severe migraine-like headaches within 2 weeks of the procedure. MHA was reported exclusively by females. All the patients were treated with oral paracetamol for the management of headaches. Three of 5 (60%) patients had a positive family history of migraine. Three patients reported complete disappearance of symptoms within 4-6 months. While two others (40%) had ongoing symptoms at 6 months follow-up.

Conclusions:

MHA can be precipitated after ASD device closure. The risk is specifically high in females with a family history of migraine. Dual antiplatelet drugs for the first 3 months after device closure may prevent such episodes. Prospective studies are needed to establish the universal role of dual antiplatelet drugs after ASD device closure.

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is an uncommonly encountered cyanotic congenital heart disease characterized by anomalous drainage of the pulmonary veins. Concomitant venous anomalies are rarely found in these patients. We present a case of an infra-cardiac TAPVC with an intrahepatic portosystemic shunt, where a vascular channel was seen between the middle hepatic vein and the left branch of the portal vein with fusiform dilatation of the latter, diagnosed on computed tomography angiography.
Cyanotic congenital heart disease – Not always blue to provide a clue
Authors: Gupta Saurabh Kumar
Published: February 2023

Despite right-to-left shunt, not all patients with so-called cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) are cyanosed at all times. Moreover, despite undisputed clinical utility, cyanosis is unreliable for the detection of arterial desaturation. Pulse oximetry, on the other hand, provides a much easier, reliable, and accurate method for detecting arterial desaturation. For optimal detection, therefore, it is perhaps sensible to replace cyanosis with pulse oximetry-based detection of arterial desaturation in all cases with suspected CHD.

Background:

Transesophageal electrophysiological study (TEEPS) is a minimally invasive procedure that helps in evaluating the risk of recurrence of supraventricular tachycardia based on the inducibility of the tachycardia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic capability, negative predictive value of noninducibility of tachycardia and safety of TEEPS among the Indian pediatric population.

Methods:

It is a retrospective single-center observational study of all patients who underwent TEEPS from January 01, 2014, to December 31, 2020.

Results:

Twenty-two TEEPS procedures were done in eighteen children with three children undergoing more than one procedure. The median duration of follow-up was 42.97 months (8.52–82.12 months). Out of the 22 procedures, four were conducted for acute tachycardia termination, two for tachycardia suppression assessment, and sixteen to assess tachycardia inducibility off medications. Tachycardia was noninducible in nine children and inducible in six children. Two children had clinical recurrence of tachycardia on follow-up. Out of these two children, one had noninducibility of tachycardia on TEEPS. The negative predictive value of TEEPS was 88.89% in this study. None of the children had any postprocedure complication.

Conclusions:

TEEPS is a safe procedure. It is used to assess the efficacy of medication in the suppression of arrhythmia. The noninducibility of tachycardia has a high negative predictive value and is a good indicator of nonrecurrence of clinical tachycardia on midterm follow-up.
Extracardiac conduit as alternative repair for scimitar syndrome

Published: February 2023

Scimitar syndrome has been repaired by different surgical procedures including intracardiac baffle technique, reimplantation of scimitar vein (SV) to the right atrium or the left atrium (LA). However, several anatomical variations such as short venous collector coursing deeply within the lung hilum with infradiaphragmatic drainage make the repair more challenging with conventional repair techniques. We present an alternative method for repair using a tube graft to connect the SV to the LA.

In children, the Impella® is most commonly used in the setting of cardiogenic shock. There are few reported cases of Impella® use in pediatric patients undergoing ablation; description of troubleshooting techniques may improve success rates. We describe a pediatric patient with tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy due to incessant ectopic atrial tachycardia whose ablation was notable for significant electromagnetic interference (EMI) from the Impella® leading to incomplete mapping. This case highlights the need for multidisciplinary planning and consideration of possible EMI with the use of magnet-based electroanatomic mapping systems as well as troubleshooting techniques to reduce the impact of EMI.

The concept of cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is derived from the crosstalk between the heart and kidneys in pathological conditions. Despite the rising importance of CRS, there is a paucity of information on the understanding of its pathophysiology and management, increasing both morbidity and mortality for patients. This review summarizes the existing conceptual pathophysiology of different types of CRS and delves into the associated therapeutic modalities with a focus on pediatric cases. Prospective or retrospective observational studies, comparative studies, case reports, case–control, and cross-sectional studies that include pediatric patients with CRS were included in this review. Literature was searched using PubMed, EMBASE, and Google Scholar with keywords including “cardio-renal syndrome, type,” “reno-cardio syndrome,” “children,” “acute kidney injury,” and “acute decompensated heart failure” from January 2000 to January 2021. A total of 14 pediatric studies were ultimately included and analyzed, comprising a combined population of 3608 children of which 32% had CRS. Of the 14 studies, 57% were based on type 1 CRS, 14% on types 2 and 3 CRS, and 7% were on types 4 and 5 CRS. The majority of included studies were prospective cohort, although a wide spectrum was observed in terms of patient age, comorbidities, etiologies, and treatment strategies. Commonly observed comorbidities in CRS type 1 were hematologic, oncologic, cardiology-related side effects, muscular dystrophy, and pneumonia/bronchiolitis. CRS, particularly type 1, is prevalent in children and has a significant risk of mortality. The current treatment regimen primarily involves diuretics, extracorporeal fluid removal, and treatment of underlying etiologies and comorbidities.
Guidelines for physical activity in children with heart disease

Published: February 2023

Justification:

In recent years, there has been increasing recognition of children with heart disease in our country. These children belong to different age groups and have untreated, partially treated, or completely treated heart disease. The role of physical activity for optimal physical, emotional, and psychosocial well-being for children is well understood. There is a challenge for the parents and the medical professionals to take a decision regarding the type of physical activity safe for the child as heart disease may affect the hemodynamic demands. Most of the existing international guidelines focus on competitive sports in operated heart disease children. This may be of limited use when we have a mixed population of children with heart disease, different types of sports in our country and where a larger subset is looking for recommendations to leisure time activities.

Process:

The Pediatric Cardiac Society of India decided to formulate recommendations for physical activity in children with heart diseases. A committee of experts, who were well-versed with the subject of physical activity in children with heart disease, volunteered to take up the task of writing the guidelines. The recommendations emerged following deliberations of the committee members, on the virtual platform as well as mails. The final version of manuscript was approved by all committee members and all members are co-authors of this manuscript. The different types of physical activities were defined including leisure sports and competitive sports. The exercise was classified based on the mechanical action of muscles involved into dynamic and static components. Each type of exercise was then classified based on the intensity into low, medium, and high. Recommendations for the type of physical activity for individual heart lesions were decided based on the rationale available.

Objectives:

The recommendations here are made with an intention to provide general guidelines for physical activity in children with operated and unoperated heart diseases, not excluding a need for individualizing a plan, serial assessment, and comprehensive checkup in special situations.

Recommendations:

We hope the recommendations mentioned below would provide basic clarity in planning physical activity in children with heart disease. This is with the hope to encourage physically active life, at the same time ensuring a safety net.

Background & objectives:

COVID-19 has been a global pandemic since early 2020. It has diverse clinical manifestations, but consistent immunological and metabolic correlates of disease severity and protection are not clear. This study was undertaken to compare seropositivity rate, antibody levels against nucleocapsid and spike proteins, virus neutralization and metabolites between adult and child COVID-19 patients.

Methods:

Plasma samples from naïve control (n=14) and reverse transcription (RT)-PCR positive COVID-19 participants (n=132) were tested for reactivity with nucleocapsid and spike proteins by ELISA, neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 infectivity in Vero cells and metabolites by 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Results:

An ELISA platform was developed using nucleocapsid and spike proteins for COVID-19 serosurvey. The participants showed greater seropositivity for nucleocapsid (72%) than spike (55.3%), and males showed higher seropositivity than females for both the proteins. Antibody levels to both the proteins were higher in intensive care unit (ICU) than ward patients. Children showed lower seropositivity and antibody levels than adults. In contrast to ICU adults (81.3%), ICU children (33.3%) showed lower seropositivity for spike. Notably, the neutralization efficiency correlated with levels of anti-nucleocapsid antibodies. The levels of plasma metabolites were perturbed differentially in COVID-19 patients as compared with the naive controls.

Interpretation & conclusions:

Our results reflect the complexity of human immune response and metabolome to SARS-CoV-2 infection. While innate and cellular immune responses are likely to be a major determinant of disease severity and protection, antibodies to multiple viral proteins likely affect COVID-19 pathogenesis. In children, not adults, lower seropositivity rate for spike was associated with disease severity.
