La dette en questions
Authors: Lévy Ghyslain
Published: June 2024

Lacan a formulé et employé pendant une bonne période de son enseignement le terme de « dette symbolique » ; il ne l’a pourtant jamais clairement thématisé. Il s’agit dans ce texte d’essayer de déplier cette notion à partir du triple registre du langage, de la Loi et de la transmission, l’articulant avec ce que le sujet reçoit de l’Autre comme héritage inconscient, avec la castration comme opération symbolique, et avec le surmoi. Nous indiquons pour terminer quelques incidences dans la clinique contemporaine. Il s’agit de penser la dette entre emprise et deuil de soi, un fil rouge entre prémices de la cure et sa terminaison. La dette de répétition occupe bien souvent la souffrance liée à la demande d’analyse. Il s’agit d’une dette de filiation qui se reconduit sans cesse à travers les générations sur le mode d’une contrainte qui se transmet. Dette de vengeance, dette de réparation, elles sont souvent conformes à des idéaux qui s’imposent au sujet. Comment parvenir à se séparer de cette contrainte en faisant le deuil de cette dette close sur l’origine ? Ce qui ouvre sur une autre forme de la dette en rapport avec le travail de transformation de la cure et sa terminaison. C’est là un processus de détachement de la force de répétition, une ouverture vers l’avenir, en forme de responsabilité, d’un « répondre de l’enfance à venir », d’un « Souviens-toi de l’avenir ». C’est ce que j’appelle un deuil du soi mélancoliquement fixé à l’origine, comme forme de la fin de la cure.
Clinique du couple et de la famille
Authors: N’Guyen Pascal
Published: June 2024

Souvent pensés séparément, le couple et la famille sont dans une articulation constante : d’abord entre le couple et les familles d’origine de chacun des conjoints, ensuite entre le couple et la famille dont il est l’origine. Envisager le couple dans la famille, c’est penser le rapport entre le sexuel et le générationnel. Le fantasme de scène primitive apparaît comme un fantasme organisateur de la vie psychique de la vie familiale.

Published: June 2024

Depuis sa mise à jour par Antonio Ferreira (1965), conception ambitieuse par toutes les connotations qu’il a souhaité lui attribuer, le mythe familial vient «  répondre à un malaise du thérapeute  ». Il répond ainsi à une nécessité de synthèse théorique. Le mythe familial apporte ce qui est essentiel pour l’être humain : ses émotions, son attachement aux origines ancestrales, ses options de vie et le besoin de croire.

Ceci peut se percevoir dans le passage du couple à la famille, passage de l’enfance à l’adolescence, décès de membre dans la famille… Cependant, il peut aussi y avoir des émergences de cette violence sur la scène réelle de façon plus ou moins visible, violence morale, violence conjugale, maltraitance des enfants, violences physiques, crimes familiaux…
Psychogérontologie clinique et pathologique
Authors: Menecier Pascal , Ploton Louis
Published: June 2024

Le syndrome confusionnel (delirium) est un prototype gérontologique. Il associe des éléments somatiques, neurobiologiques et psychologiques intriqués, sans frontière délimitable entre eux. Il requiert une approche somatique et psychosociale intégrée dans le soin et le prendre-soin. C’est une urgence pour en limiter les conséquences, les complications ou les séquelles. Sa prévention est possible et a été codifiée.
Psychogérontologie clinique et pathologique
Authors: Ploton Louis
Published: June 2024

L’hypocondrie concerne des préoccupations exagérées de santé centrées sur des manifestations somatoformes sans étiologies médicales décelées. C’est une forme de demande passant par le corps qui confronte le patient qui a besoin d’être écouté, pris au sérieux, considéré, car il souffre authentiquement : acteur inconscient et victime consciente de ses symptômes. Elle va de pair avec des risques somatiques : soin à contre-emploi, diagnostic ignoré et vagabondage médical. Il y a lieu de savoir qu’une politique visant à supprimer le symptôme est pathognomiquement confrontée à une mise en échec, de nature à démotiver les soignants. La meilleure attitude possible est celle d’“impuissance bienveillante” prenant en compte la souffrance, avec pour objectif central d’éviter le rejet.
Psychogérontologie clinique et pathologique
Authors: Lebert Florence
Published: June 2024

La désinhibition ou perte de l’autocontrôle n’est pas un signe spécifique d’un état psychopathologique et le rôle du professionnel est de retrouver l’entité syndromique dans laquelle elle s’insère. Parmi les syndromes à rechercher, il y a le syndrome frontal encore appelé dysexécutif, par l’évaluation des modifications du comportement et par celle des fonctions exécutives comme de la cognition sociale. Si la prise en charge dépend de l’étiologie, un accompagnement psychologique du malade et de son entourage est indispensable, car la présentation clinique reste peu connue et les fausses interprétations faciles. Un temps de réflexion éthique est nécessaire lors de telles situations pour éviter des démarches de soin trop normatives et insuffisamment bientraitantes.

Le suicide n’est pas plus acceptable chez une personne âgée que chez un adolescent. C’est un véritable problème de santé publique, depuis trop longtemps resté tabou, auquel les établissements d’hébergement pour personnes âgées n’échappent pas. La formation, l’information sur le repérage de la crise suicidaire de la personne âgée sont essentielles pour connaître les facteurs de risque et de protection, mais surtout pour apprendre à en parler et à aider la personne et son entourage à dépasser cette crise qui exprime une grande souffrance.
Situations extrêmes

La période périnatale représente a priori un temps de promesse de vie. La grossesse d’un bébé à venir va incarner un fantasme d’immortalité pour le(s) devenant parent(s) et leur(s) branche(s) familiale(s). Entre l’idéal fantasmé de la période périnatale et ses réalités brutes, l’irruption de la mort, d’un corps-cadavre embryon/fœtus/bébé figurent l’extrême, simultanément irreprésentable, irréversible et définitif.

La transidentité est un terme parapluie qui permet de rendre compte des différentes possibilités d’identification d’un sujet au-delà de la polarité binaire du genre. Féminin, masculin, l’une et l’autre, ou même ni l’une ni l’autre. Que l’affirmation transgenre se révèle auprès d’enfants, d’adolescents ou d’adultes, il est primordial aujourd’hui d’enrichir notre référentiel psychanalytique d’un savoir sur le genre, pour l’accompagnement de ses singularités.

Un consensus par le vide ?
Authors: Mallet Loïs
Published: June 2024

Issu de la physique, le terme de « transition » s’est progressivement mué en programme politique consensuel, confortant l’hégémonie d’un modèle néolibéral verdissant. Critiquer ce concept à l’aune de ses appropriations idéologiques est une invitation à penser concrètement la société écologique.

Implementation via Information Design in Binary‐Action Supermodular Games
Authors: Morris Stephen , Oyama Daisuke , Takahashi Satoru
Published: June 2024

What outcomes can be implemented by the choice of an information structure in binary‐action supermodular games? An outcome is partially implementable if it satisfies obedience (Bergemann and Morris (2016)). We characterize when an outcome is
smallest equilibrium implementable (induced by the smallest equilibrium). Smallest equilibrium implementation requires a stronger
sequential obedience condition: there is a stochastic ordering of players under which players are prepared to switch to the high action even if they think only those before them will switch. We then characterize the optimal outcome induced by an information designer who prefers the high action to be played, but anticipates that the worst (hence smallest) equilibrium will be played. In a potential game, under convexity assumptions on the potential and the designer's objective, it is optimal to choose an outcome where actions are perfectly coordinated (all players choose the same action), with the high action profile played on the largest event where that action profile maximizes the average potential.

“A Modern Gauss–Markov Theorem”
Authors: Pötscher Benedikt M. , Preinerstorfer David
Published: June 2024

We show that Theorem 4 in Hansen (2022) applies to exactly the same class of estimators as does the classical Aitken theorem. We furthermore point out that Theorems 5–7 in Hansen (2022) contain extra assumptions not present in the classical Gauss–Markov or Aitken theorem, and thus the former theorems do not contain the latter ones as special cases.
Hearing Yourself Think: Ambient Sound in Library Study Spaces
Authors: Jeitner Eric , Goodnight Christy W
Published: June 2024

In the professional literature of contemporary academic libraries, sound often becomes a binary discussion, either lauded as the byproduct of active group collaboration or scorned as an infringement on quiet study. We make an exploratory case for an alternative, middle consideration: low-level, ambient sound is a crucial component of ideal study space for some students. By examining a body of published evidence and drawing on the results of a year-long study, we present evidence that a sizable constituency of college students will seek out study spaces that contain “pink” ambient noise. This is a demographic that has been overlooked in the discussion surrounding how libraries negotiate sound within their walls.
From "Bioeconomy Strategy" to the "Long-term Vision" of European Commission: which sustainability for rural areas?
Authors: Ciervo Margherita
Published: June 2024

The aim of this paper is to analyze the current and long-term effects of the European Commission Bioeconomy Strategy in order to outline possible scenarios for rural areas and evaluate their sustainability. The focus is on the main economic sectors, with particular reference to employment and turnover, in order to understand what kind of economy and jobs are intended for rural areas, as well as their territorial impacts. For this purpose, we have analyzed the main European Commission documents and datasets concerning the bioeconomy and long-term planning for rural areas, as well as the recent scientific data to verify the impact on forests. The result is that European rural areas are intended to be converted initially into large-scale biomass producers for energy and bio-based industry, according to the digitization process, and subsequently into biorefinery sites, with severe damage to landscape, environment, biodiversity, land use and local economy. Scenarios for rural areas don’t seem neither sustainable nor profitable, particularly for the peripheral countries (Southern and Eastern countries of the European Union).

Phenomenological Approaches to the Egyptian Desert
Authors: Hackley Laurel Darcy
Published: June 2024

This contribution explores, in broad strokes, the ways that a creative dialogue between archaeological and anthropological methods can produce holistic, nuanced approaches to the study of archaeological landscapes. Specifically, the paper explores the productivity of these methods when applied to arid landscapes, which are traditionally viewed as “difficult” or hostile to human activity. The methods discussed here, when used in combination, are useful for teasing out dynamic human relationships with the desert landscape in the past and the present. The approach illustrates the productivity of combining qualitative and quantitative methods and the possibilities for unifying different data streams in a single analysis.
Voir la berge, nommer la rive
Authors: Cécillon Quentin , Crépy Maël
Published: June 2024

La rive est une composante centrale du territoire nilotique, à tel point que les anciens Égyptiens possédaient de nombreux termes pour en préciser les divers aspects et caractéristiques. Cette étude vise, par l’analyse iconologique des déterminatifs de huit mots traduits par « rive » ou « berge », à préciser les différents sens recouverts par ceux-ci et donc à amorcer une réflexion sur les perceptions des terres aquatiques à la période pharaonique. Après avoir présenté l’environnement de la vallée du Nil et les sources iconographiques et textuelles la représentant, nous abordons l’analyse de chacun des déterminatifs et de leurs relations avec le terme déterminé. Enfin, une synthèse sur l’utilisation de ces signes dans ce contexte permet d’introduire un travail sur la restitution de l’environnement ancien de l’Égypte des IIIe et IIe millénaires avant notre ère.

The Other Face of Those Left Behind in the Silence of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Authors: Agbokou Isidore E.
Published: June 2024

This chapter identified the factors that could justify the growing social inequalities and reduce possible threats of discontent that may arise among disadvantaged groups across the world. The research has been conducted based on data provided by the VNR reported by the HLPF from 2016 to 2021. The number of actions implemented to comply with the principle of LNOB and the number of SDGs affected by the actions implemented at the country and regional levels are the two parameters that support the analysis which led to the conclusion of the potential pockets of discontent. Since 2016, a total of 143 countries have committed, with 605 actions for the implementation of the LNOB principle. The chapter revealed that people from all around the world have expressed a desire to move towards a more equal world of sustainable development. Nevertheless, some regions of the globe have shown more commitment and determination than others since the movement of LNOB was born. The risk of delay is that the need for managing conflicts will only grow from frustration and discontent.

The RING finger (RNF) family, a group of E3 ubiquitin ligases, plays multiple essential roles in the regulation of innate immunity and resistance to viral infection in mammals. However, it is still unclear whether RNF proteins affect the production of IFN-I and the replication of avian influenza virus (AIV) in ducks. In this article, we found that duck RNF216 (duRNF216) inhibited the duRIG-I signaling pathway. Conversely, duRNF216 deficiency enhanced innate immune responses in duck embryonic fibroblasts. duRNF216 did not interacted with duRIG-I, duMDA5, duMAVS, duSTING, duTBK1, or duIRF7 in the duck RIG-I pathway. However, duRNF216 targeted duTRAF3 and inhibited duMAVS in the recruitment of duTRAF3 in a dose-dependent manner. duRNF216 catalyzed K48-linked polyubiquitination of duck TRAF3, which was degraded by the proteasome pathway. Additionally, AIV PB1 protein competed with duTRAF3 for binding to duRNF216 to reduce degradation of TRAF3 by proteasomes in the cytoplasm, thereby slightly weakening duRNF216-mediated downregulation of IFN-I. Moreover, although duRNF216 downregulated the IFN-β expression during virus infection, the expression level of IFN-β in AIV-infected duck embryonic fibroblasts overexpressing duRNF216 was still higher than that in uninfected cells, which would hinder the viral replication. During AIV infection, duRNF216 protein targeted the core protein PB1 of viral polymerase to hinder viral polymerase activity and viral RNA synthesis in the nucleus, ultimately strongly restricting viral replication. Thus, our study reveals a new mechanism by which duRNF216 downregulates innate immunity and inhibits AIV replication in ducks. These findings broaden our understanding of the mechanisms by which the duRNF216 protein affects AIV replication in ducks.

ATPase cation transporting 13A2 (ATP13A2) is an endolysosomal P-type ATPase known to be a polyamine transporter, explored mostly in neurons. As endolysosomal functions are also crucial in innate immune cells, we aimed to explore the potential role of ATP13A2 in the human immunocellular compartment. We found that human plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), the professional type I IFN–producing immune cells, especially have a prominent enrichment of ATP13A2 expression in endolysosomal compartments. ATP13A2 knockdown in human pDCs interferes with cytokine induction in response to TLR9/7 activation in response to bona fide ligands. ATP13A2 plays this crucial role in TLR9/7 activation in human pDCs by regulating endolysosomal pH and mitochondrial reactive oxygen generation. This (to our knowledge) hitherto unknown regulatory mechanism in pDCs involving ATP13A2 opens up a new avenue of research, given the crucial role of pDC-derived type I IFNs in protective immunity against infections as well as in the immunopathogenesis of myriad contexts of autoreactive inflammation.

The interactions between chemokines and their receptors, particularly in the context of inflammation, are complex, with individual receptors binding multiple ligands and individual ligands interacting with multiple receptors. In addition, there are numerous reports of simultaneous coexpression of multiple inflammatory chemokine receptors on individual inflammatory leukocyte subtypes. Overall, this has previously been interpreted as redundancy and proposed as a protective mechanism to ensure that the inflammatory response is robust. By contrast, we have hypothesized that the system is not redundant but exquisitely subtle. Our interests relate to the receptors CCR1, CCR2, CCR3, and CCR5, which, together, regulate nonneutrophilic myeloid cell recruitment to inflammatory sites. In this study, we demonstrate that although most murine monocytes exclusively express CCR2, there is a small subpopulation that is expanded during inflammation and coexpresses CCR1 and CCR2. Combinations of transcript and functional analysis demonstrate that this is not redundant expression and that coexpression of CCR1 and CCR2 marks a phenotypically distinct population of monocytes characterized by expression of genes otherwise typically associated with neutrophils. Single-cell RNA sequencing confirms this as a monodisperse population of atypical monocytes. This monocytic population has previously been described as having immunosuppressive activity. Overall, our data confirm combinatorial chemokine receptor expression by a subpopulation of monocytes but demonstrate that this is not redundant expression and marks a discrete monocytic population.

FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) are required for maintaining immune tolerance and preventing systemic autoimmunity. PI3Kδ is required for normal Treg development and function. However, the impacts of dysregulated PI3Kδ signaling on Treg function remain incompletely understood. In this study, we used a conditional mouse model of activated PI3Kδ syndrome to investigate the role of altered PI3Kδ signaling specifically within the Treg compartment. Activated mice expressing a PIK3CD gain-of-function mutation (aPIK3CD) specifically within the Treg compartment exhibited weight loss and evidence for chronic inflammation, as demonstrated by increased memory/effector CD4+ and CD8+ T cells with enhanced IFN-γ secretion, spontaneous germinal center responses, and production of broad-spectrum autoantibodies. Intriguingly, aPIK3CD facilitated Treg precursor development within the thymus and an increase in peripheral Treg numbers. Peripheral Treg, however, exhibited an altered phenotype, including increased PD-1 expression and reduced competitive fitness. Consistent with these findings, Treg-specific aPIK3CD mice mounted an elevated humoral response following immunization with a T cell–dependent Ag, which correlated with a decrease in follicular Treg. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that an optimal threshold of PI3Kδ activity is critical for Treg homeostasis and function, suggesting that PI3Kδ signaling in Treg might be therapeutically targeted to either augment or inhibit immune responses.

Foodborne diseases represent a significant public health issue, regarding both collective health and the economy, with implications for healthcare costs and agribusiness. This paper shows the description and results of the investigation of a Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica foodborne outbreak that occurred in the Marche Region (Italy) in 2022, linked to the consumption of a roasted pork product (porchetta). As part of the outbreak investigations discussed in this article, molecular analysis to evaluate the genomic correlation between clinical, food, and environmental origin strains was carried out. All Salmonella strains of different origins were serotyped as monophasic variants of Salmonella Typhimurium with an antibiotic-resistance pattern and an allelic profile such as to define the "cluster strain" allowing the correlation between clinical and food/environmental strains, definitively confirmed by whole genome sequencing analysis. Following the laboratory evidence, corrective measures at the porchetta processing plant and at the retail stores involved were carried out by the Local Animal Based Food Hygiene Service. The results of this study show that effective intervention is only possible if efficient data exchange, standardized procedures, and staff training are guaranteed. The latter aspect also concerns the food business operator, who must take appropriate measures to minimize the risk.

Infectious etiologies causing acute pancreatitis are rare and may include viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi. The lack of population studies makes it difficult to estimate the overall incidence of infection-related acute pancreatitis. Viruses are one of the most common causes of infection-related acute pancreatitis common being mumps, coxsackievirus, hepatotropic virus, cytomegalovirus, human immunodeficiency virus, varicella, and account for 65.3% of acute pancreatitis cases related to infectious etiologies. Dengue being one of the common infections in tropical countries has also shown an association with causing acute pancreatitis. We encountered and managed three such cases of expanded dengue syndrome complicating as acute pancreatitis in an academic hospital in the northern part of India.
