Quiet Eye: The next generation – comment on Vickers
Authors: Schroer Jörg , Tirp Judith , Rienhoff Rebecca
Published: June 2021

In this commentary on Joan Vicker’s target article (2016), we first recognize the work she has done in the last 35 years. We then provide examples of differentiations of the Quiet Eye (QE) that might be necessary to fully understand the multifacetedness of the phenomenon. Here we propose, as in our current review (Rienhoff, Tirp, Strauss, Baker, & Schorer, 2016), for the QE a differentiation by the mechanisms behind it. We suggest another categorization in the research on training the QE. Additionally, we provide further areas of research that are interesting for the future, namely the QE across life-span and the (in)dependence of the perceptual-motor processes.
Tratamiento contable de los activos biológicos y los productos agrícolas
Authors: Marrufo Garcia Rubén Darío , Cano Morales Abel María
Published: June 2021

Es preciso mencionar que este trabajo que se presenta, como resultado de investigación, corresponde al manejo y tratamiento contable que puede darse a los Activos Biológicos en las empresas Latinoamericanas del sector agropecuario, y tiene como finalidad demostrar la influencia que existen entre la importancia proporcionada a la contabilidad financiera bajo (NIC/NIIF) y la poca reciprocidad del manejo contable y las prácticas contables que se aplican efectivamente en el sector agrícola, especialmente en las Pymes, ocasionando con ello algunas fisuras. Sin embargo, se puede afirmar que las razones de las posibles fisuras que puedan existir, se atribuyen a que las normas generales de contabilidad actuales no se adaptan muy bien a las particularidades del sector de la agricultura y son relativamente difíciles, y costosas en su implementación, en el caso Latinoamericano, es preciso mencionar que la Norma Internacional de Contabilidad 41. (NIC 41), cuando son plenas y la sección 34 para Pymes, prescriben el tratamiento contable de la actividad agropecuaria, introduciendo avances significativos en el reconocimiento de los resultados por la transformación de bienes biológicos generados en el esfuerzo conjunto del ser humano y la naturaleza.

FORENSIC THINKING OF AN INVESTIGATOR AS AN INTELLECTUAL FACTOR OF EFFICIENCY WHEN CARRYING OUT AN INSPECTION OF THE PLACE OF EVENT
Authors: Safonov D. A.
Published: June 2021

The fight against crime in modern conditions of technical progress, requires from law-enforcement bodies of the Russian Federation not only considerable financial cost, physical and moral strength of the officials, carrying out disclosure and investigation of crimes, but also the tremendous intellectual scope of work to ensure the planning and organization of investigation of criminal cases. As shows the analysis of the investigative practice, in most cases, non-obvious crimes are difficult to investigate, the investigator here is experiencing not only a lack of guidance and evidential information about facts and results of an event, but also prone to superficial conclusions and stereotyped (typical) thinking. All this affects the quality and efficiency of the solution of tasks of criminal proceedings. The article attempts to consider the theoretical and methodological foundations of the intellectual support of the investigation of crimes. The author, based on existing scientific works and research by scientists in this field, offers a subjective approach to the concept, meaning and system of forensic thinking in the investigation of criminal cases. Particular attention is paid to the complex of elements that make up the forensic thinking system. The values and functions of the elements of the forensic thinking system are revealed, the particular tasks of each element are considered based on the informational conditions of the investigation. The article also highlights, according to the author, the key elements of the application of forensic thinking during the production of the inspection of the scene.
ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS OF ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS
Authors: Kapranov А. V. , Kapranova Y. V.
Published: June 2021

Enforcement proceedings are the sphere of activity of authorized officials of Federal Executive authorities who carry out non-judicial enforcement of judicial acts and acts of Executive power on the basis of administrative procedural norms. Along with bailiffs and officials of the FSSP of Russia, other subjects, officials of the Ministry of internal Affairs of Russia, the Federal security service of Russia, the Ministry of emergency situations of Russia, and others, are given authority to execute law enforcement acts by Federal legislation. The article considers the essence and content of the Executive process as an integral part of the administrative process. The authors analyze the concept of enforcement proceedings, identify its content as an administrative and legal institution. The analysis of the concept of enforcement proceedings and its sources allows us to conclude about the understanding of its essence as a type of administrative process. The article highlights the role of enforcement proceedings in the mechanism of protection of human and civil rights and freedoms. The article considers various characteristic features of enforcement proceedings that allow it to be differentiated from other types of proceedings, identifies the subject of regulation, goals and objectives, principles, participants, stages and features of enforcement proceedings.
SOME ISSUES OF INVOLVEMENT TO ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR VIOLATION OF ESTABLISHED INTERIM RESTRICTIVE MEASURES IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE COVID-19 NEW CORONAVIRUS INFECTION PANDEMIC

Survey of Legal Mechanisms Relating to Groundwater Along the Texas-Mexico Border
Authors: Foster Jessica
Published: June 2021

The purpose of this study is to present a factual picture of the multiple groundwater governance frameworks that cover the same transboundary aquifers on the Texas-Mexico border. The study can then serve as a foundation to support future research and as a reference for those sharing groundwater resources on the border to use in considering whether and how to coordinate management. Currently, Texas A&M School of Law, the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University, and the Texas Water Resources Institute are collaboratively pursuing a larger interdisciplinary project, and the study presented in this report is part of that concerted endeavor. First, the project establishes a study area, then identifies who are the stakeholders in the area, and finally summarizes the various rules each entity applies to groundwater. The study area selected is based on the aquifers identified in the 2016 study noted above (see Figure 1). Although there is currently no formal agreement between governments or users in Mexico and Texas for managing the reservoirs that cross underneath the international border, this survey represents a preliminary step in addressing the larger problems that the absence of a cooperative groundwater management framework presents. All of the institutional approaches employed in the various jurisdictions surveyed here model features from which developing management approaches could draw. Equally, noting gaps in the institutional approaches themselves and the ad hoc groundwater withdrawals occurring outside the reach of those institutions illustrates potential value in engaging local users in Texas’ and Mexico’s respective groundwater governance arrangements.
Legal Mechanisms for Mitigating Flood Impacts in Texas Coastal Communities
Authors: Bedford Philip , Long Alexis , Long Thomas , Milliken Erin , Thomas Lauren , Yelvington Alexis
Published: June 2021

Flooding is a major source of concern for Texas’ coastal communities. It affects the quality of infrastructure, the lives of citizens, and the ecological systems upon which coastal communities in Texas rely. To plan for and mitigate the impacts of flooding, Texas coastal communities may implement land use tools such as zoning, drainage utility systems, eminent domain, exactions, and easements. Additionally, these communities can benefit from understanding how flooding affects water quality and the tools available to restore water bodies to healthy water quality levels. Finally, implementing additional programs for education and ecotourism will help citizens develop knowledge of the impacts of flooding and ways to plan and mitigate for coastal flooding. Land use tools can help communities plan for and mitigate flooding. Section III addresses zoning, a land use tool that most municipalities already utilize to organize development. Zoning can help mitigate flooding, drainage, and water quality issues, which, Texas coastal communities continually battle. Section IV discusses municipal drainage utility systems, which are a mechanism available to municipalities to generate dedicated funds that can help offset costs associated with providing stormwater management. Section V addresses land use and revenue-building tools such as easements, eminent domain, and exactions, which are vital for maintaining existing and new developments in Texas coastal communities. Additionally, Section VI addresses conservation easements, which are a flexible tool that can enhance community resilience through increasing purchase power, establishing protected legal rights, and minimizing hazardous flood impacts. Maintaining good water quality is important for sustaining the diverse ecosystems located within and around Texas coastal communities. Water quality is regulated at the federal level through the Clean Water Act. As discussed in Section VII, the state of Texas is authorized to implement and enforce these regulations by implementing point source and nonpoint source pollutants programs, issuing permits, implementing stormwater discharge programs, collecting water quality data, and setting water quality standards. The state of Texas also assists local communities with implementing restorative programs, such as Watershed Protection Programs, to help local stakeholders restore impaired water bodies. Section VIII addresses ecotourism and how these distinct economic initiatives can help highlight the importance of ecosystem services to local communities. Section VIX discusses the role of education in improving awareness within the community and among visitors, and how making conscious decisions can allow coastal communities to protect their ecosystem and protect against flooding.
Biological pathogenic agents as a subject of the crime provided by article 326 of the Criminal code of Ukraine
Authors: Salahor Inessa
Published: June 2021

The article examines the subject of the crime provided by Article 326 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, based on the dominant position in the modern theory of criminal law with the help of physical, social and legal characteristics.
It is pointed out that the subject of violation of the rules of microbiological or other biological agents or toxins usage is the mandatory feature of the crime. By the nature of the connection with the object, the subject of the investigated crime belongs to those for which the observance of a special legal regime is a condition for the normal functioning of public relations.

Blanket disposition of the investigated criminal law norm led to recourse to other legal acts in order to establish the content of the subject of this crime. The generalization of the available normative definitions allowed to formulate the concept of “biological pathogens” in the meaning of the subject of crime under Article 326 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In particular, the author includes bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, chlamydia, mycoplasmas, protozoa, fungi, helminths, prions, toxins (both natural and genetically modified).

The properties of biological pathogens are revealed (infectivity, pathogenicity, virulence, mortality, incubation period of contagiousness, stability) which affect their potential usage as a means of destruction. It is alleged that the subject of this crime is not products derived from biological pathogens – any goods or products containing biological pathogens or produced with their use. It is concluded that there is no single current list of biological pathogens for humans, animals and plants in Ukraine, but there are currently five lists approved by legal-and-regulatory acts.

Key words: subject of crime, biological pathogens, toxins, prions, genetically modified pathogens, strains of microorganisms, infectivity, virulence, contagiousness, incubation period, pathogenicity groups.
Issues of the theory of international humanitarian law in the context of integration and globalization
Authors: Bazov Viktor
Published: June 2021

The article discusses topical issues of the formation and further development of the theory of international humanitarian law. Explored the basic concepts of this area of humanitarian public law. For the first time, international humanitarian law is defined as a set of conventional and customary international legal norms that govern the law of armed conflict and human rights law.

The processes of globalization of modern international relations, characterized by increasing influence of leading international organizations and crises in individual states, objectively affect the renewal and further development of the theory of international humanitarian law as one of the rapidly developing branches of public international law. New conceptual approaches to the modern definition of international humanitarian law, its philosophy and legal nature require a rethinking of scientific views as classics of international law, including the founder of the theory of natural law and modern science of international law Hugo Grotius, researcher of state interests in «just war» Thomas Hobbes and the founder of the «social contract», the sentimentalist Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the views of such prominent scholars as Immanuel Kant, Fedor Martens and Jean Pictet.

Given the normative definition, «the law of armed conflict» and «the law of human rights» are two independent legal systems within the framework of international humanitarian law, which operate mainly in different periods: during armed conflicts or in peacetime, respectively. These legal systems, although closely interlinked within the framework of international humanitarian law, are still independent and relatively independent of each other, as they have features in the sources and mechanisms of implementation and control over compliance with their norms and principles.

Key words: theory of international humanitarian law, international relations, state, international organization, international court.

Authors: F. Obioma I. , C. Ihemeje J. , I. Ogbonna C. , O. Amadi C. , E Hanson U.
Published: June 2021

The study examined the effects of agricultural financing on the performance of agricultural sector in Nigeria using annual time series data. The data for the study was sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Statistical Bulletin. Contribution of agriculture to GDP was used as proxy for the performance of agricultural sector, commercial banks loan to agriculture, rain fall, government expenditure to agriculture and interest rate were used as proxy for explanatory variables. Following unity in the order of integration, Johansen cointegration approach was used to check for the long run relationship among the variables. Vector autoregressive estimate the vector correction mechanism was used to examine the speed of adjustment of the variables from the short run dynamics to the long run equilibrium. The study found that there is long run relationship among the variables. Specifically; there is significant and long run effect of Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme on Contributions of agriculture to GDP. Commercial banks loans to agriculture showed positive and significant effect on Contributions of agriculture to GDP within the reference period. The coefficient of multiple determinations explained the variation in the dependent variable jointly explained by the independent variables. The study recommend that there should be increase in the amount which the agricultural credit guarantee scheme inject into the sector on annual basis and  proper supervisory measures should be constituted in order to ensure efficient application and use of the money.

Introduction. The present study assessed Pseudomonas aeruginosa surface characteristics, motility and adhesion properties under the influence of 1-[4-(1,1,3,3-tetra methyl butyl) phenoxy]-3-(N-benzyl hexa methylene iminium)-2-propanol chloride (KVM-194).

Material and methods. The clinical strain P. aeruginosa 449 was used in the study. The cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) was evaluated by adhesion to solvent (MATS test). Swimming, swarming and twitching motility of P. aeruginosa were studied by standard methods in media with different agar contents. Cells ability to adhere to polystyrene was assessed by the Christensen method. The effect of KVM-194, meropenem and ciprofloxacin on hydrophobicity and motility was evaluated both at 0.5 or 2.0 minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC), while on adhesion abilities – only 0.5×MIC.

Results. It was shown that 0.5× MIC KVM-194 reduced CSH of P. aeruginosa (by 16%, p˂0.05), affected swimming motility, and decreased its adhesion to polystyrene. The most pronounced changes in adhesion properties were recorded after 3-5 hours of pre-treatment with this compound. Moreover, it was proven that sub-MICs of meropenem and ciprofloxacin did not alter bacterial cells hydrophobicity and had no significant influence on P. aeruginosa motility and adhesion properties.

Conclusions. The present study suggested that KVM-194 affected the initial steps of   P. aeruginosa biofilm formation and thus had tremendous potential for new antibiofilm agents’ development.

Published: June 2021

Introduction. Paracetamol is the most commonly used drug across Western Europe and North America. There is no such trend of using Paracetamol in the Republic of Moldova, thus overdose cases are extremely rare. The mechanisms leading to overdose episodes might induce hepatotoxicity.

Clinical case. This present article reports a case of acute liver failure induced by Paracetamol overdose. A 46-year-old man presented to the Medpark International Hospital. He was administered Paracetamol 1000 mg, approximately every 4 hours for 2 days, and 1000 mg twice a day for another 2 days, after an intense physical exertion, followed by muscle fever with myalgia and low-grade fever (37.4 °C) The reason for asking the medical care were pronounced fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, night sweats, and frequent urination.

Conclusion. Eventually, the case was successfully resolved due to N-acetyl-cysteine, administered according to the established treatment scheme, as well as the adjuvant therapy.
SUBSTITUTION OF ANCHOR CURRENCY: CHALLENGES FOR TRADE BETWEEN IRAN AND ITS MAJOR TRADING PARTNERS
Authors: Zahmani Zahra , Jovović Milorad , Redzepagić Srdjan , Siničáková Marianna
Published: June 2021

The aim of the paper is to find out whether euro is a convenient substitution for U.S. dollar as an anchor currency for Iranian rial and whether this replacement would affect Iran’s international trade positively. We explore these effects via Optimum Currency Area (OCA) theories using generalized least square from 2000 to 2018. Based on OCA index, euro would be a good substitution for U.S. dollar as an anchor for Iranian rial. In addition, gravity model and Generalized Method of Moments estimation confirm that substitution of U.S. dollar by euro would improve bilateral trade between Iran and its major trade partners especially the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Furthermore, we confirm that a basket containing main currencies (euro, U.S. dollar, yuan, Russian rubble) would be more efficient than a single currency anchor however euro should be prominent in the basket. Such a change of anchor could positively contribute to reduction of transaction costs, diversification of external risk, rise of mutual trade exchanges between Iran and the EMU or the EU and consequent economic growth of trade partners. The paper contributes to the existing literature by comprehensive methodological approach how to identify an appropriate anchor currency.

The light curve during outburst has a double-peaked profile, with a rapid rise and gradual decline. The effective temperature of the outburst region is ∼6200 K, much cooler than that of an underlying Be star.
Large Hypothyroidism-Induced Pericardial Effusion with Increased Serum Tumor Markers
Authors: Lee Su Yeon , Lim Kyunghee
Published: June 2021

Pericardial effusion is a common disease seen by echocardiography, and it is found in 3–9% of annual echocardiograms. Although moderate pericardial effusion has been reported in some cases, it is usually asymptomatic and is rarely accompanied by cardiac tamponade. A large pericardial effusion may be due to various causes, including idiopathic causes, tuberculosis, cancer, connective tissue disease, infection, and hypothyroidism. Recent advances in analytic and imaging techniques have increased our ability to diagnose the cause of pericardial effusion accurately. This information is important for determining the proper treatment based on each case’s clinical characteristics. We report a case of large, recurrent pericardial effusion accompanied by hypothyroidism with initial increased levels of tumor markers, including cancer antigen 125, carcinoembryonic antigen, and alpha-fetoprotein. The patient was treated with thyroid hormone only. In follow-up images, the pericardial effusion was resolved and all of the tumor markers were normalized.

Authors: Bahk Seyoung , Bu Seong Hyeon , Kim Hyung Duk , Won Yoodong , Lee Hae Giu , Kim Young Ok
Published: June 2021

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an uncommon autosomal dominant disorder resulting in vascular malformation, such as pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM). Here, we report a rare case of pulmonary arteriovenous malformation caused by HHT in a hemodialysis (HD) patient. A 34-year-old man receiving maintenance HD via radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula developed progressive dyspnea without definite pulmonary edema. His mother had been diagnosed with HHT. He had experienced multiple episodes of epistaxis and had been intermittently treated with blood transfusions because of severe anemia. Blood gas analysis showed hypoxia. Chest computed tomography revealed multiple dilated vessels of variable sizes, continuous with the pulmonary artery throughout both lung fields, consistent with PAVM. After treating pulmonary artery embolization at the largest PAVM, he recovered from his dyspnea symptoms and hypoxia.
Un fœtus peut-il haïr sa famille ?
Authors: Darchis Élisabeth
Published: June 2021

La haine pour le fœtus semble une nécessité qui participe au processus du devenir parent. Mais parfois cet affect intense confond passé et présent, fantasmes et réalité. Le fœtus est désigné alors comme un être haineux et les parents vont jusqu’à vouloir organiser sa disparition. La haine agie envers le fœtus serait issue des haines non traitées et éprouvées autrefois dans le groupe d’origine. Une clinique sur la haine transgénérationnelle montrera qu’elle peut résonner avec un ancêtre honteux et haï. La régression dans la thérapie familiale est accompagnante pour élaborer ces vécus archaïques particuliers.
Se faire la peau
Authors: Le Breton David
Published: June 2021

La haine pénètre toutes les pensées, elle colonise la raison pour la mettre à son seul service en éliminant tout recul. Elle imprègne et fabrique son objet. Mais la haine peut également s’appliquer à soi-même, elle trouve alors dans le corps, c’est-à-dire l’enracinement nécessaire au monde, son point d’application privilégié. Elle est un appui sur lequel le sujet ne cesse de se heurter ou plutôt une butée pour se réunifier. Elle trouve souvent dans les attaques au corps une autre voie de dérivation pour le rassurer sur les limites de sens qui le compose.
Dragon ! Du monstrueux à l’œuvre
Authors: Georgelin Mélanie , Naivin Bertrand
Published: June 2021

Ces dernières années ont été riches en films pour enfants sur les dragons. Une figure qui, si elle a toujours été présente dans les contes et fictions pour la jeunesse, connaît depuis quelques années un renouveau significatif. Vogue que nous souhaitons interroger. Dans cet article, nous faisons retour sur la dimension historique et culturelle de la figure du dragon, pour ensuite questionner son renouveau dans la fiction littéraire et cinématographique. Enfin, nous nous demandons ce que peut représenter le dragon d’un point de vue psychodynamique, et tel qu’on le rencontre en consultations auprès d’enfants : est-il un support identificatoire à même de métaboliser les affects de peur et de colère, et plus largement le bouillonnement pulsionnel du temps de l’Œdipe, et plus encore, peut-on y voir une figure de la survivance psychique et une métaphore de la pulsion anarchiste ?
La gamification pour apprendre : perceptions des acteurs et pistes de développement
Authors: Brassier Pascal , Ralet Patrick
Published: June 2021

La ludopédagogie est une innovation déjà ancienne. Mais transformer toute une séquence de formation en jeu ( gamification ) est une tendance nouvelle, venue des technologies numériques et de l’univers du jeu vidéo. La gamification est cependant une démarche exigeante pour les pédagogues et engageante pour les apprenants. Cet article s’intéresse aux perceptions des individus sur cette approche, ce dont la littérature parle peu. Nous voulons mieux comprendre les points de vue partagés sur l’intérêt et la valeur perçue des jeux pédagogiques. Pour cela, nous mobilisons le champ récent de la gamification et les notions d’expérience et de valeur perçue. Une étude exploratoire a été réalisée sur une communauté en ligne parlant de gamification. L’accent est mis sur les perceptions individuelles et collectives sur l’engagement, l’expérience, les émotions et la satisfaction perçue des jeux pédagogiques. Il ressort une perception positive de la gamification, où émotions, technologie, et apprentissage ont toute leur place.
Approche contextualisée de la GRH et de l’innovation en PME
Authors: Gallego-Roquelaure Virginie , Defélix Christian , Galois-Faurie Isabelle , Corbett-Etchevers Isabelle
Published: June 2021

La littérature met souvent en avant le rôle prépondérant du dirigeant dans le pilotage et la GRH des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME), notamment lorsqu’il s’agit d’orienter celles-ci vers de l’innovation en termes de produits, de procédés ou d’organisation. Pourtant, l’état de l’art sur le management de l’innovation nous apprend aussi que cette innovation, quand elle se développe dans l’entreprise, n’est pas due à un seul acteur, et qu’elle relève d’un changement plus global et systémique. Le dirigeant a certes un rôle important, mais au-delà de ses convictions et de son action, comment peut évoluer l’ensemble des pratiques de GRH lorsqu’une PME évolue vers l’innovation ? À l’aide d’une double grille de lecture, cet article propose une étude de cas sur la transformation au long cours d’une PME. Celle-ci nous conduit à nuancer et compléter l’état des connaissances sur la GRH pour l’innovation dans ce type d’organisation.
Où en est le Brésil ?
Authors: Giblin Béatrice
Published: June 2021

Un peu plus de deux ans après l’élection de Jair Bolsonaro, où en est le Brésil ? Il est dans une mauvaise passe avec une situation sanitaire désastreuse – c’est le deuxième pays au monde par le nombre de décès causés par l’épidémie de Covid-19 – et celle-ci révèle et aggrave ses inégalités. La situation environnementale de l’Amazonie s’est fortement dégradée et le Brésil a perdu sa crédibilité internationale dans sa capacité à gérer en pleine souveraineté son environnement. Quant à la situation politique interne du Brésil il semble que les plus solides soutiens à la politique de Bolsonaro commencent à se fragiliser, comme celui de l’armée qui craint pour son prestige si elle est associée de près aux conséquences politiques de certains choix, et même celui des évangéliques déçus de ne pas plus influencer la politique familiale ou scolaire. Les plus fidèles sont les grands éleveurs dont le poids économique leur permet de se faire entendre du gouvernement et des institutions qui les concernent.
« Lire » dans l’Antiquité tardive : Ἀνάγνωσις, συνανάγνωσις, ἔντευξις
Authors: Cutino Miriam
Published: June 2021

Cette enquête est motivée par la coexistence dans l’Antiquité tardive de trois mots exprimant d’une façon différente la lecture : ἀνάγνωσις, qui signifie « lire à haute voix » ; συνανάγνωσις, c’est-à-dire « lire avec quelqu’un » ; ἔντευξις, qui, parmi différentes significations, présente celle de « lecture » au sens général. À partir du V e  siècle ap. J.-C., leur emploi est strictement lié à deux phénomènes importants : le premier est l’introduction des mots ἀνάγνωσις et συνανάγνωσις dans la pratique d’enseignement de l’école néoplatonicienne comme synonymes indiquant une lecture exégétique des œuvres anciennes par le maître ; le deuxième concerne la diffusion de la formule « ceux qui lisent » (ἐντυγχάνοντες) ou « ceux qui vont lire » (ἐντευξόμενοι) dans les avertissements au lecteur des premiers commentaires composés directement sous forme écrite dans l’Antiquité tardive. Cette étude vise à démontrer que dans le milieu de l’école néoplatonicienne le couple ἐντυγχάνοντες / ἐντευξόμενοι est en rapport de conséquence avec le couple ἀνάγνωσις / συνανάγνωσις, exprimant un point de vue différent sur le destinataire : en effet, l’ἀνάγνωσις / συνανάγνωσις, en tant que pratique orale, est immédiatement reçue par l’élève, qui possède les aptitudes et les compétences appropriées pour comprendre ; le commentaire, en revanche, en tant que transposition de l’enseignement à l’écrit, doit faire face à deux difficultés : l’explicitation ponctuelle du sens caché dans les textes anciens que les lecteurs ont déjà sous les yeux (ἐντυγχάνοντες) ; et la persuasion d’un public de lecteurs (ἐντευξόμενοι), qui liront le commentaire.
La République des mâles : les masculinités politiques dans les médias en France (années 1980-1990)
Authors: Guigo Pierre-Emmanuel
Published: June 2021

À partir de la dichotomie virilité-privilège, virilité-ressource théorisée par Catherine Achin et Elsa Dorlin à partir de l’exemple de Nicolas Sarkozy, nous souhaitons étudier dans cet article les mutations des identités politiques masculines dans les années 1970 et 1980. Nous constatons une remise en cause de l’hégémonie de la virilité-privilège, dominante depuis au moins la fondation de la III e République, bousculée par l’émergence d’une virilité revendiquée et affichée, symbolisée notamment par les figures musclées et sportives de Bernard Tapie et Jean-Marie Le Pen. Au-delà de ces personnalités singulières, ce discours imprègne plus généralement les dirigeants politiques de l’époque, au point que le manque de virilité devient une ressource pour délégitimer un adversaire. Malgré tout, l’hégémonie de la virilité-privilège si elle est discutée reste inchangée au centre du pouvoir.

Prognostic factors affecting the surgical success of gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy
Authors: Bektas Caglar , Aktas Zeynep , Ucgul Ahmet Yucel , Karamert Selin Sahin
Published: June 2021

Purpose:

To investigate the prognostic factors affecting gonioscopy-assisted transluminal trabeculotomy (GATT) surgical success.

Methods:

Fifty-three eyes were retrospectively enrolled. Open-angle glaucoma patients with at least 6-month follow-up were included. At baseline, demographic characteristics, intraocular pressure (IOP), number of anti-glaucomatous medications (AG), and glaucoma type were recorded. Postoperatively, IOP, complications, and number of AG were noted. The effects of these parameters on surgical success were investigated.

Results:

The median follow-up time was 13.7 months. The mean IOP decreased from 25.6 ± 6.2 mm Hg at baseline to 14.6 ± 3.5 mm Hg at final, and the number of AG decreased from 3.2 ± 0.78 to 1.2 ± 1.3. When target IOP was considered as 18 mm Hg and 15 mm Hg, surgical success rates were 81.1% and 60.4%, respectively. When target IOP was considered as 18 mm Hg, a positive effect of the combination with cataract surgery and a negative effect of postoperative macrohyphema on success rates were observed. Other factors did not show any association with the success rates for both target IOP values when analyzed by the Cox proportional hazards regression analysis.

Conclusion:

Postoperative macrohyphema may affect surgical success rates negatively. The contribution of the combination with cataract surgery is controversial. Glaucoma stage does not seem to affect surgical success.

Purpose:

To present the outcomes of the Vitreo-retinal Society of India (VRSI) Practice Pattern Survey 2020 in surgical retina.

Methods:

An online survey of members of VRSI was conducted in April 2020 regarding their practice patterns on varied medical and surgical retina topics concerning imaging and management approach. The results were evaluated by two independent experts in this field and compared with the evidence and other practice patterns in the world.

Results:

A total of 107 VRSI members participated in the online survey. Responses were obtained on management of wide-ranging surgical retina topics such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachments, Macular Hole, and Epiretinal membranes. Participants were also surveyed regarding their attitudes and perceptions about microscopes with the heads-up display system. Each of the survey question responses were then compared to contemporary literature, including evidence-based guidelines, randomized controlled trials, real-world evidence, and analogous international surveys. Comprehensive analysis related to this has been put forward in the article.

Conclusion:

This survey represents the contemporary practice patterns among vitreoretinal specialists in India. The survey results are vital for fellow practitioners to understand the “standard of care” practice in surgical retina. This will guide them to devise the best possible individualized treatment strategy for most favorable clinical outcomes.

Post-COVID-19 pulmonary fibrosis
Authors: Rai Deependra K. , Kumar Subhash , Sahay Nishant
Published: June 2021

The most common lung problem faced by a post-COVID patient is lung fibrosis. Clinical recovery is generally complete in mild-to-moderately severe COVID-19 cases but a small proportion of patients with severe disease may go on to develop lung fibrosis. Patient groups at the highest risk to develop lung fibrosis are the elderly, especially those requiring ICU stay and mechanical ventilation. No definitive therapy for managing this pulmonary fibrosis exists as of date, even though various options are being explored. This case series highlights three cases of post-COVID lung fibrosis and reviews the existing literature.

Aims:

To assess the clinical profile and nutritional status of infants with cystic fibrosis (CF) and track their nutritional outcomes with treatment.

Materials and Methods:

This retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary-care institute in South India. Demographic and clinical information were collected. The nutritional status and treatment outcome was assessed by Z-scores for weight-for-age (WAZ), length-for-age (LAZ), and weight-for-length (WLZ) at diagnosis and follow-up.

Results:

Nineteen infants with CF had mean follow-up duration of 9.7 ± 8.7 months. There was a mean delay of 2.9 ± 2.1 months from symptom onset to diagnosis, by which time infants were severely malnourished (mean WAZ -4.68 ± 1.8). Pneumonia, summer dehydration with electrolyte abnormalities (42.1%), and a combination of anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and malnutrition (42.1%) were the predominant features. Significant weight loss had been recorded in undiagnosed infants by second month of life before symptom onset. At follow-up, there was a remarkable improvement in WAZ (P 0.001), but not LAZ and WLZ. There was a high mortality rate of 37% in these infants.

Conclusions:

Malnutrition is a significant morbidity in infants with CF in India. There was significant improvement of WAZ with treatment, but it lagged behind the recommended targets. There is an opportunity for identification of CF infants at the time of vaccination at six and ten weeks of age, by the primary care physician and pediatrician. Screening of young infants having failure to thrive in the immunization clinic may be a strategy for early diagnosis of infants with severe CF phenotype.

Purpose The main purpose of the Life-Sustaining Treatment Decisions Act recently enacted in Korea is to respect the patient’s self-determination. We aimed to investigate the current status and features of patient self-determination after implementation of the law.Materials and Methods Between February 2018 and January 2019, 54,635 cancer deaths were identified from the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) database. We analyzed the characteristics of decedents who complied with the law process by self-determination compared with decedents with family determination and with decedents who did not comply with the law process.Results In multivariable analysis, patients with self-determination were younger, were less likely to live in rural areas, were less likely to belong to the highest income quintile, were less likely to be treated in general hospitals, and were more likely to show a longer time from cancer diagnosis compared with patients with family determination. Compared with patients who did not comply with the law process, patients with self-determination were younger, lived in Seoul or capital area, were less likely to belong to the highest income quintile, were treated in general hospitals, were less likely to have genitourinary or hematologic malignancies, scored higher on the Charlson comorbidity index, and showed a longer time from cancer diagnosis. Patients with self-determination were more likely to use hospice and less likely to use intensive care units (ICUs) at the end-of-life (EOL).Conclusion Decedents with self-determination were more likely to be younger, reside in the Seoul or capital area, show a longer time from cancer diagnosis, and were less likely to belong to the highest income quintile. They utilized hospice more frequently, and received less ICU care at the EOL.
Global Pandemics and the Economics of Value Chains: COVID-19 and the Production of Medical Devices
Authors: Nachum Lilac
Published: June 2021

Pandemics change the dynamics of value chains in fundamental ways, and particularly of those producing the medical devices needed to fight them. This paper shows that the rationale for organization of the production of these devices differs from that of most other products. Varying trade-offs between the benefits of global integration and the imperatives of secured and speedy supply favor different production modes. Value chains of different geographic scales – local, regional and global – are suitable for different medical devices. A model developed based on these variations could assist policymakers in designing differentiated policies towards different medical devices. As well, the model provides insights that could aid supply chain managers and academics rethinking the determinants of supply chain structures across industries.

El crecimiento caracterizado en los últimos años de Latinoamérica ha llevado analizar dos factores que afectan la sostenibilidad de las economías, como es la masa monetaria y la inflación, indicadores que generan volatilidad en los comportamientos por los niveles de ingresos de divisas y la repercusión en los precios de bienes y servicios. Uruguay es parte de las economías afectadas por las crisis económicas enfrentando períodos de recesión y recuperación. Por tal motivo, el objetivo principal consiste en determinar la incidencia de la inflación en la masa monetaria de Uruguay, periodo 1985-2017, la base de datos obtenida corresponde al Banco Mundial. La metodología es modelación econométrica y documental. Los resultados señalan que al incrementarse la masa monetaria aumenta la inflación o viceversa, demostrando que las variantes son estadísticamente significativas con un R^2 de 0.862. Las conclusiones establecen que, en los primeros años del periodo de estudio se observa un aumento agresivo de inflación por las circunstancias de capacidad del dinero en la economía uruguaya, sin embargo, el proceso disminuye en los siguientes años, las políticas económicas de largo plazo adoptadas han estado encaminadas en el fortalecimiento de la producción con controles en los precios y direccionamiento de fondos al sector empresarial.
