Authors: Ali Mahamoud Ridwan , Khadar Abdihaad Abdirahman
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the role of restorative circles in promoting a positive school climate, fostering student and parent engagement, and building trust and empathy within school communities. Employing a descriptive research design, the research explores correlations between restorative justice practices and student behavior in schools, using a sample size of 185 participants drawn from students, teachers, and parents. Non-probability sampling methods and random selection ensured representation, while ethical standards were upheld throughout the study. The findings indicate a broadly positive perception of restorative circles. For promoting a positive school climate and resolving conflicts, the overall mean score was 4.30 with a standard deviation of 0.78, reflecting favorable and consistent views on the circles' contributions to improving school environments and reducing disciplinary incidents. In fostering student and parent engagement, the mean score was 4.22 with a standard deviation of 0.80, indicating strong agreement that restorative circles foster respect among students and strengthen community ties, though parental involvement was rated more neutrally. The impact of restorative circles on building trust and empathy yielded a mean of 4.15 with a standard deviation of 0.80, with strong agreement on the role of these practices in fostering empathy among students and creating a supportive school environment. The study concludes that restorative circles are viewed as effective in promoting positive school climates, improving conflict resolution, and enhancing relationships within the school community. However, areas for improvement include increasing parental involvement and deepening students' understanding of others' perspectives. Overall, the consistency of responses, as evidenced by the relatively low standard deviations, suggests strong support for restorative circles in school settings.

A new species of Leptobrachella Smith 1925 (Anura, Megophryidae) from Lai Chau Province, Vietnam
Authors: Hoang Chung , Luong Anh , Nguyen Truong , Nguyen Tao , Ninh Hoa , Le Linh , Ziegler Thomas , Pham Cuong
Published: November 2024

The genus Leptobrachella (Anura, Megophryidae) was originally described, based on the type species from Sarawak (Malaysia), Leptobrachella mjöbergi Smith. The taxa in the group were previously classified into different genera, i.e, Paramegophrys Liu; Leptolalax Dubois; Lalax Delorme, Dubois, Grosjean & Ohler; and Lalos Dubois, Grosjean, Ohler, Adler & Zhao. However, Yuan et al. synonymised Leptolalax with Leptobrachella in 2017. Members of Leptobrachella inhabit the forest floor and rocky streams in hilly evergreen forests. They are widely distributed from southern China and Myanmar through mainland Indochina to Peninsular Malaysia and the island of Borneo. However, the species diversity of the genus was indicated to be underestimated by phylogenetic analyses and a series of new species have been discovered recently. In Vietnam, 34 species of Leptobrachella are currently known and 75% (or 24 species) have been described or newly recorded from the country since 2010.

We describe a new species, Leptobrachella huynhi sp. nov., from Sin Ho District, Lai Chau Province. The new species is distinguished from its congeners by genetic divergences ranging from 3.62 to 18.51% (16S rRNA gene) and morphological differences: size medium (SVL 37.8–40.2 mm in adult females); head longer than wide; tympanum distinct; skin on entire dorsum shagreened; toes without webbing and with narrow lateral fringes; supratympanic ridge slightly rough with few nodules; dorsum grey-brown with indistinct dark brown markings; an interorbital region with a stacking double Y-shaped marking; centre of belly creamy-white, outer edges of belly brown with small whitish spots; iris copper. The new species is the 35th species of the genus Leptobrachella known from Vietnam.

Authors: Wortley Christopher H.
Published: November 2024

Today, 98% of peer-reviewed scientific publishing is in English, which is also the official language of most scientific events and international academic journals. UNESCO, through its Recommendation on Open Science, has called on scientific institutions to foster multilingualism in the practice of science, in scientific publications, and in academic communications. At The Lancet, we recognize the need to provide more equitable and inclusive access to scientific knowledge by providing abstracts translated into relevant languages. Following a pilot, a workflow for abstract translation was devised. I present here details of our abstract translation procedure and rollout.
First detection of Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) in southwestern France
Authors: Martel Guillaume , Bout Alexandre , Tortorici Francesco , Hamidi Rachid , Tavella Luciana , Thomas Maud
Published: November 2024

We report the first detection of Trissolcus japonicus in southwestern France. A total of almost 3000 sentinel and 700 field-laid egg masses of Halyomorpha halys were exposed or collected in the administrative region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine in 2022 and 2023. A total of 12 and 44 specimens of T. japonicus emerged from one and two egg masses in 2022 and 2023, respectively. Morphologic analysis confirmed the identification of this egg parasitoid, while molecular analysis of COI matched the haplotype of the French population to the population of T. japonicus released in Italy. Trissolcus japonicus may have arrived in Nouvelle-Aquitaine from introduction pathways similary to T. mitsukurii, detected in 2020, although these pathways cannot be clearly defined. The co-occurrence of these two major parasitoids of BMSB should now be surveyed as possible competition can arise. In the frame of the biological control program currently running in France against BMSB, the use of one or two parasitoid species is also considered.
Clear Minds: Unravelling Delirium in Older Adults
Authors: Tumbali Yvonne , Inventor Ben R. , Paun Olimpia
Published: November 2024

With an explosive population growth of older adults, the incidence rates of neuropsychiatric syndromes, particularly delirium, are increasing in the community and hospital settings. Delirium is an acute disturbance in cognition and attention that may signify a serious medical, life-threatening condition and may mimic psychiatric–mental health issues. Although its prevalence rate is lower in the community, delirium affects up to 87% of hospitalized older adults and can cost up to $152 billion each year. Despite its common occurrence, delirium is often undetected in 50% to 60% across all care settings, delaying treatment and resulting in poor patient outcomes, such as increased mortality, prolonged hospital stays, cognitive and functional impairment, decreased quality of life, and institutionalization. The current article addresses strategies to recognize delirium and presents evidence-based approaches and future considerations for delirium management. [

Pratiques informelles de l’anglais : une écologie d’usage/apprentissage émergente sur le continuum des années de collège
Authors: Perrot Laurent
Published: November 2024

Cet article rend compte de premiers résultats issus d’une recherche exploratoire visant à cartographier les pratiques informelles de l’anglais par des collégiens français. Celle-ci a été menée dans le cadre d’un doctorat en sciences du langage auprès de 482 jeunes adolescents scolarisés au collège international de l’Esplanade de Strasbourg. Les résultats montrent que ces pratiques sont présentes dès la sixième et qu’elles connaissent un fort développement sur le continuum des années de collège : surtout les activités de visionnage et de lecture connaissent une augmentation constante jusqu’à la troisième. Au-delà de la distribution des pratiques informelles par classe d’âge, les résultats montrent une grande variabilité des activités selon le parcours personnel de chaque individu. La notion de plaisir éprouvé lors de ces activités, pour part liée à la forte désirabilité des contenus en langue anglaise, ainsi que le statut de lingua franca que celle-ci occupe dans les esprits, sont les raisons principales évoquées par les répondants. Ces paramètres ne peuvent cependant pas être abordés de façon déconnectée d’autres aspects, tels que le besoin de communiquer avec des amis et pour se faire des amis et la volonté d’apprendre, qui fonctionnent selon une systémique propre à chaque utilisateur-apprenant.
En rangs et en tribunes : une analyse d’interventions intellectuelles sur le « wokisme » en France (2020-2023)
Authors: Silhol Guillaume , Mahoudeau Margot
Published: November 2024

Depuis le début des années 2020, le « wokisme » est devenu un thème d’interventions intellectuelles en France dans des espaces associés à la droite et aux positions conservatrices. L’étude de tribunes « anti-wokistes » comme formes d’intervention montre à la fois une hétérogénéité relative des positions et des registres argumentatifs, entre des types académique, militant et essayiste de contributeurs, mais aussi des caractéristiques communes dans les cibles, ainsi que des circulations de motifs entre les périodiques libéraux et conservateurs. Ces aspects suggèrent d’analyser les critiques du « wokisme » parmi d’autres formes d’action collective de type élitaire.

L’émergence et l’état des questions coloniales et postcoloniales en France
Authors: Bancel Nicolas
Published: November 2024

La généalogie des études postcoloniales, qui ont connu une réception tardive en France, incite à distinguer les faux procès qui leurs sont faits dans le monde académique hexagonal de critiques légitimes. Si l’intérêt prononcé des études postcoloniales pour les textes littéraires tend à appauvrir la diversité des sources historiques, à l’inverse, l’accent mis sur la parole des subalternes leur permet de relever les formes de la domination coloniale dans le présent. En multipliant leurs champs d’études pluridisciplinaires et originaux, les théories postcoloniales contribuent à l’élargissement des corpus théoriques et des savoirs.
Lectures postcoloniales en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis
Authors: Evans Martin
Published: November 2024

Les études postcoloniales, développées dans le champ anglo-saxon depuis la fin des années 1970, reposent sur des sources multiples. De Frantz Fanon à Salman Rushdie, en passant par Edward Said ou Ranajit Guha, la pensée postcoloniale croise l’histoire et la littérature pour saisir et critiquer les effets des relations, des discours et des imaginaires coloniaux dans le présent. Elle débouche aujourd’hui, sur l’exigence d’actions concrètes anticoloniales que relèvent des approches décoloniales, au croisement de l’activisme et de la recherche.

Image Stenography Using Deep Learning Techniques
Authors: Angulakshmi M. , Deepa M.
Published: November 2024

The process of securely, imperceptibly, and recoverably embedding information under a cover image is known as digital image steganography. The application of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to digital image steganography is investigated in this study. The preparation, concealment, and extraction stages of the steganography process were carried out using a two-dimensional CNN. However, the research's technique applied CNN's structure and employed a gain function based on multiple image similarity criteria to increase the imperceptibility of a cover picture and stenographic image. Several commonly used image metrics, including peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), and structural similarity index measurement (SSIM), were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the suggested approach. The outcomes demonstrated that, while still offering high recoverability, the steganography images generated by the suggested technology are undetectable to the human eye.

Blockchain and Steganography
Authors: Parmar Hemlata , Sharma Vijay Shankar , Singh Siddhanta Kumar
Published: November 2024

The rapid expansion of quantum computing presents a substantial obstacle to the available encryption methods, especially those employed in blockchain technology. Because of the impending dangers posed by quantum computing, there is an urgent requirement for more secure systems for the encryption and transport of data. The quantum-resistant blockchain steganography (QRBS) framework is a revolutionary concept presented in this study. Steganography and blockchain technology are both included in this framework, which is further strengthened by quantum-resistant cryptography and deep learning. Furthermore, the authors present an adaptive deep-learning model for steganography that can evolve to deal with attacks that are becoming increasingly complex. Experiments have been conducted to validate the proposed system, demonstrating considerable gains in security and robustness. As a result, this system is an appropriate option for secure data management in future quantum computing settings.

Authors: Geetha R. , Srikanth Umarani , Doss Srinath , Kamalaban E. , Shobana R.
Published: November 2024

Cloud is the primary platform that enables the users to upload their documents and allows searching and updating the documents on demand. It is vulnerable in providing security to the stored documents. Cloud service providers are the major contributors of data storage and query services that are maintained in cloud platforms. Searching and efficiently updating the document collection is possible by applying dynamic searchable symmetric encryption schemes. Existing schemes partially address on-demand information retrieval. This work focuses on a scheme which enables the user to search from a collection of dynamic documents in a cloud environment. It also integrates steganography to enhance the protection of sensitive information, adding an extra layer of security while concealing its presence from potential attackers. Furthermore, to insert the verifiable document into the top-k searches, a verifiable matrix and ranked inverted index have been constructed. This shows promising results by incorporating a cost-effective communication mechanism for the deletion of documents.
Real-Time Applications of Deep Learning-Based Steganography in IoT Networks
Authors: Channi Harpreet Kaur
Published: November 2024

The growing amount of resource-constrained IoT networks makes data security and privacy major concerns. In many cases, the most widely used traditional cryptographic techniques fail to be optimal for secure real-time communication in an IoT environment. This work investigates deep learning-based steganography, which aims to covertly send confidential information hidden along with seemingly innocuous data. Here, the authors examine whether neural networks can support better hiding as well as extraction processes at low overhead, targeting constrained IoT devices. They have analyzed diverse deep learning architectures—the convolutional neural networks, autoencoders—improving payload capacitance and adding robustness against detection attacks. The simulations and case studies emphasize the diverse applicability of these advanced security features in a wide spectrum of real-time applications: smart homes, industrial IoT, health monitoring. Finally, the proposed deep-learning-based steganography offers scalable and efficient aspects of communication within secure aspects of evolving IoT landscape.
Nintedanib alleviates polypropylene mesh-induced adhesion in rabbit ventral herniorrhaphy
Authors: Mathur Sourav , Hazra Indrani , Konar Aditya , Hazra Sarbani
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND:

Nintedanib (previously known as BBIF 1120) was approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration and European Medical Agency to treat idiopathic lung fibrosis in the year 2014 and 2015, respectively. It is now gaining interest for its anti-fibrotic activity in other organs and disease conditions. Although a surgical mesh is used as a mainstay therapy for herniorrhaphy, postoperative peritoneal adhesion with a polypropylene mesh is a significant drawback. This study aims to assess the efficacy of nintedanib in preventing postoperative adhesion incited with a polypropylene mesh in a rabbit model of ventral hernia.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

Ventral hernia was induced surgically in ten adult healthy New Zealand White rabbits of either sex. Hernioplasty was performed with a polypropylene mesh, and the rabbits were randomly allocated into two groups to receive either oral 1 mL sterile water or 100 mg nintedanib in 1 mL of sterile water for 7 days. The adhesion of the implanted mesh with the intra-abdominal organs was assessed clinically, by histological and ultrastructural studies with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) at 30 days postoperatively.

RESULTS:

All rabbits were clinically healthy for 30 days post-surgery with no complication at the site of surgery. The incidence of peritoneal adhesion and tenacity was less in the nintedanib group versus the control group (P = 0.00105). Histopathological and SEM evaluations also indicated less fibrosis and adhesion in the nintedanib-treated group versus control.

CONCLUSION:

Our results show successful prevention of mesh-associated adhesion with nintedanib, but further studies on the mechanistic pathway, pharmacokinetics, dose standardization, and evaluation of systemic side effects are warranted.

Authors: Ouahab Ammar , Fetni Samira , Ouahab Sana
Published: November 2024

Background: This cross-sectional survey aimed to evaluate the perspectives of 61 hospital pharmacists in Batna, Algeria, regarding education, career choices, and continuous education (CE).
Methods: Convenience sampling was employed to select pharmacists working in public health hospitals within the Wilaya of Batna. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered through Google Forms between December 20, 2023, and March 20, 2024. The questionnaire covered demographics, reasons for choosing the pharmacy profession, perceived relevance of university studies to current job, satisfaction with career trajectory, and engagement in CE.
Results: The study found that 73.8% of respondents were female, with a mean age of 37.74 years and an average of 10.34±3.38 years of work experience. The most influential factor in choosing pharmacy was valuing a respectable job (3.69±1.51). Regarding education relevance, respondents rated their university studies to their current job with a moderate mean score of 2.97±1.16, with the fifth and fourth years emerging as the most relevant years of study to their current job (3.25±1.36 and 3.11±1.31, respectively). Factors influencing job selection included work environment, location of work, and level of responsibility. Over 50% had either not engaged in any CE or had done so more than a year ago, while barriers preventing engagement in CE included the lack of national protocols and personal time.
Conclusion: It is urgent to improve the alignment between pharmacy education and job roles and implement CE activities through a national protocol. Additionally, targeted strategies are warranted to enhance job satisfaction and retention among hospital pharmacists in Algeria.
The Rise of Digital Reproduction Against Mechanical Reproduction: “Tech-Nostalgia” in Photography
Authors: Toy Fulya
Published: November 2024

As a result of advancements in contemporary digital technology, the production tools utilized in art, alongside new instruments that facilitate daily life, are becoming increasingly diverse and sophisticated. The innovations offered by technology provide a wide range of creative opportunities, particularly for artists. However, since the 1990s, there has been a notable tendency towards a retrospective return and mimicry in both daily life and art. This research primarily focuses on the paradox of returning to the past, despite all technological developments and digitalization, as explored through the medium of photography. In this study, the reasons for looking back and mimicking the past in defiance of contemporary realities and technologies are analyzed within the framework of the concept of “tech-nostalgia.” Concrete examples of “tech-nostalgia” in the realm of photography, such as the Lomography movement and Polaroid productions, have been examined in detail. Despite the high-resolution image quality achieved through current technology and the conveniences of the image production process, the reasons for the observed increase in analog photography have been addressed. The investigation delves into how this increase is shaped within the nature of art and photographic aesthetics, and this trend is attempted to be elucidated through psychological and sociological perspectives with relevant examples.
