Le Tribunal international des crimes contre les femmes (mars 1976)
Authors: Giacinti Margot
Published: January 2023

Le Tribunal international des crimes contre les femmes (Bruxelles, 4-8 mars 1976) est généralement considéré comme l’acte de naissance collectif du concept de féminicide . Cet événement féministe international a pour objectif de faire état des nombreux « crimes », entendus comme des violences structurelles, subis par les femmes dans le monde. L’un d’eux est le féminicide ( femicide ), introduit par le comité américain dont fait partie Diana E. H. Russell, éditrice en 1992 avec Jill Radford de l’ouvrage fondateur de la notion, Femicide: the Politics of Woman Killing . Mais bien qu’ a priori central dans l’histoire de l’idée de féminicide , le rôle du Tribunal reste peu interrogé par la littérature scientifique. À partir d’archives encore inédites provenant de fonds de militantes qui y ont participé – dont des militantes françaises de différentes tendances du Mouvement de Libération des Femmes – cet article souhaite interroger la place du féminicide dans l’économie générale des débats du Tribunal. La théorisation qui en émerge est-elle collective, individuelle, restreinte au comité américain ? Comment expliquer qu’elle ne soit pas reprise par les militantes du MLF, qui ont pourtant participé au Tribunal ?
Conceptualiser et quantifier les féminicides sexuels systémiques au Mexique
Authors: Lacombe Delphine
Published: January 2023

Julia Estela Monárrez Fragoso occupe une place déterminante dans la compréhension des assassinats de femmes à Ciudad Juárez, dès leur constat à partir de 1993, et celui de leur impunité. Elle tient en outre un rôle majeur dans la re-politisation des violences sexistes létales : pour le Mexique d’abord, et à l’échelle internationale, dans la mesure où le contexte de cette ville frontalière fut précisément celui à partir duquel a été conceptualisée à nouveaux frais la notion de féminicide. C’est dans ce contexte que cette autrice originaire de Ciudad Juárez et professeure au Colegio de la Frontera Norte, invente la notion de féminicide sexuel systémique , à l’appui d’une base de données initialement nourrie par des sources personnelles, journalistiques et militantes.
Transféminicides : des violences de genre spécifiques ?
Authors: Rincon Giovanna , Jutant Simon , Delage Pauline , Lieber Marylène
Published: January 2023

La question des féminicides, qui occupe ce numéro, fait l’objet d’une actualité militante et académique dans le contexte français, quand celle des transféminicides est moins connue. Dans le contexte brésilien, la sociologue Berenice Bento (2016) les définit comme « une politique éparse, intentionnelle et systématique d’élimination de la population trans […] avec pour mobile la haine et le dégoût ». Comme les féminicides, ils sont, selon elle, symptomatiques d’une vision de la place des femmes dans la société, qui est exacerbée par les corps trans. Si le genre est l’une des motivations premières des meurtres, les transféminicides se caractérisent, selon cette chercheuse, par une violence ritualisée et spectaculaire, le fait de se dérouler dans l’espace public, l’absence de reconnaissance, tant en termes de poursuite pénale que de sépulture, ou encore par le mégenrage systématique des victimes. Le meurtre dans le bois de Boulogne, en août 2018, de Vanessa Campos, une travailleuse du sexe trans, a suscité un énorme émoi tant dans la communauté trans que dans celle du travail du sexe. Il a donné lieu à une campagne de politisation sans précédent en France, permettant aux associations et au syndicat du travail du sexe de dénoncer la récurrence de ce type d’assassinat et le silence assourdissant qui les entoure, tout comme les formes de mégenrage qui restent de mise, ces femmes étant souvent qualifiées de « prostitué travesti » 1 . Il nous a donc semblé utile de donner la parole à Giovanna Rincon et Simon Jutant, deux membres d’Acceptess-T 2 , une association de santé communautaire 3 francilienne créée par plusieurs femmes trans originaires d’Amérique du Sud, concernées par le travail du sexe, par le VIH et par les parcours d’exil. Cette association a joué un rôle important dans la politisation des enjeux trans, et des transféminicides en particulier. Giovanna Rincon et Simon Jutant présentent la reconnaissance parfois ambivalente dont le terme fait l’objet, en soulignant à la fois les ressorts spécifiques de la transphobie, tout en mettant en évidence la nécessité d’inclure les femmes trans dans un débat féministe plus large. L’entretien s’est déroulé en janvier 2022, alors que le procès des accusés du meurtre de Vanesa Campos venait de commencer et qu’Acceptess-T demandait à se constituer partie civile, ce qui lui a été refusé.

Éloge de la suspension du genre
Authors: Cannone Belinda , Anselmini Julie
Published: January 2023

Où en est-on aujourd’hui de l’égalité entre les hommes et les femmes ? Que penser de la dimension polémique du féminisme ? Si le genre (masculin/féminin) est d’abord un rôle, dans quelles situations est-il le plus actif ou opérant ? L’écrivaine et critique Belinda Cannone répond à ces questions avec sensibilité et acuité ; confrontant aux débats contemporains le temps long de l’histoire du féminisme, elle défend de ce dernier une conception universaliste et optimiste.
La politique de la non-identité
Authors: Pedersen Morten Axel
Published: January 2023

Ce commentaire sur l’article de Marilyn Strathern, « Binary License », examine certaines implications de son affirmation selon laquelle les relations intertribales entre les migrants urbains en Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée ne sont pas « ethniques ». En effet, si ces rencontres sociales n’impliquent pas une politique conventionnelle de l’identité, quelle pourrait être cette politique ? En comparant le cas mélanésien de Strathern avec des exemples ethnographiques en Corse et en Mongolie, on peut identifier une nouvelle modalité relationnelle : celle de l’« ethnicité intensive », qui diffère qualitativement de l’« ethnicité extensive » à laquelle les anthropologues se sont généralement intéressés. Les deux formes d’ethnicité sont relationnelles, dans la mesure où la compréhension de soi et l’auto-désignation d’un groupe donné sont dans les deux cas le résultat de ses relations avec d’autres groupes. Cependant, les relations ethniquement extensives, les plus communes dans la littérature anthropologique, impliquent des processus symboliques de création et de maintien de frontières par lesquels des traits ou des contenus culturels contrastés sont arbitrairement assignés et distribués à des formes sociales et à des échelles sociales préexistantes (individus, communautés ou nations). Inversement, les engagements intertribaux plus intensifs décrits par Strathern et certains autres anthropologues sont relationnels de bout en bout, étant donné que tout ce qui concerne les termes de ces relations (y compris leur forme, leur échelle et leur dimensionnement) est défini de la sorte. On peut donc établir un contraste entre une « politique de l’identité » et ce que l’on pourrait appeler une « politique de la non-identité ». Si la première équivaut à une économie ethnique dans laquelle les subjectivités sont échangées à la manière de marchandises et de manière aliénable, dans la seconde, l’usage de la dénomination stéréotypée et d’autres pratiques apparemment « ethniques » équivaut à des insertions non-aliénables de soi dans les autres sous la forme du don.
De l’identité à la solidarité
Authors: Hollinger David A.
Published: January 2023

Combien devons-nous à « nos semblables » – quelle que soit la signification que nous donnons à ce terme – et combien aux « étrangers », au reste de l’humanité ? Le problème de la solidarité s’annonce comme le problème décisif du XXI e  siècle. Pourtant, la vogue actuelle du terme « identité » en occulte souvent la centralité. L’objet de cet article est de pointer à la fois la profondeur et l’ubiquité du problème de la solidarité, et de suggérer que nos erreurs dans le traitement de ce problème sont plus souvent du côté particulariste que du côté universaliste.
L’identité cosmopolitique : un oxymore ?
Authors: Policar Alain
Published: January 2023

Il est nécessaire de déconstruire le concept d’identité afin d’envisager comment il pourrait s’appliquer au projet cosmopolitique. Cette perspective suppose d’énoncer les conditions de l’élaboration d’un monde commun. Ces dernières doivent être comprises comme une recherche de conciliation entre les exigences de la raison et notre essentiel besoin d’appartenance et de solidarité. Dès lors, le cosmopolitisme suppose un intérêt tout particulier pour le sort réservé à l’étranger. Il apparaît ainsi comme une théorie de la justice globale. En tant que principe de désappropriation par rapport aux communautés effectives, l’identité cosmopolitique n’est donc pas oxymorique.
Guy Debord : de l’artiste en philosophe
Authors: Ghitti Jean-Marc
Published: January 2023

Le livre de Bertrand Cochard sur Guy Debord montre que Guy Debord peut être considéré comme l’un des philosophes importants de sa génération, même s’il n’a jamais cessé d’être un artiste théoricien et s’il est devenu, à la fin de sa vie, un praticien du négatif.
The Russian Orthodox Church’s transnational judicial activism
Authors: Harms Lisa
Published: January 2023

Une littérature de plus en plus abondante a mis l’accent sur l’émergence d’un réseau transnational conservateur dont le but est d’alimenter un movement global contre la libéralisation dans les sphères politique et juridique. Afin d’examinant le rôle que ce réseau joue dans l’activisme juridique de l’Église orthodoxe russe, cet article retrace divers épisodes de mobilisation juridique à la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme qui impliquent l’Église aux côtés d’organisations non gouvernementales (ONG) conservatrices de différents horizons religieux.La montée de groupes d’activistes transnationaux, en particulier l’expansion d’organisations conservatrices chrétiennes des États-Unis vers l’Europe, a ouvert de nouvelles possibilités qui permettent à l’Église orthodoxe russe d’avancer son agenda religieux et moral dans le champ du droit international. En tirant profit de l’expansion de ces organisations, les églises “établies” peuvent étendre leur influence dans des domaines hautement institutionnalisés et formalisés, comme le droit. Cette nouvelle forme d’œcuménisme conservateur peut valoriser des intérêts russes et avancer les points de vue religieux et moral de la Russie sur le plan international. À son tour, l’Église orthodoxe russe a parfois doté ces organisations conservatrices chrétiennes d’un capital politique qui leur permet d’élargir leur propre sphère d’influence. En dépit de ces tendances, cette collaboration œcuménique paraît limitée par des facteurs politiques et structurels. Si ces limitations ne sont pas suffisamment prises en compte dans la littérature, elles se révèlent importantes quand on cherche à évaluer les conséquences d’une alliance globale d’acteurs conservateurs sur la politique internationale.
Positional Plagiocephaly and Craniosynostosis
Authors: Santiago Gaia S. , Santiago Chiara N. , Chwa Emily S. , Purnell Chad A.
Published: January 2023

Along with the decrease in sudden infant death syndrome due to the successful “Back to Sleep” Campaign, there was a reciprocal increase in cases of positional plagiocephaly (PP). The prevalence of PP significantly rose from approximately 5% to upward of 46% at age 7 months. Consequently, clinicians have seen a surge in the number of patients presenting with head shape abnormalities. Not only does this increase in patient volume pose a logistical problem to clinics, but it also poses a potential risk to patients with craniosynostosis, whose head shape anomalies are similar to a “needle in a haystack” of patients with more common PP. This review explores the causes, risk factors, and treatment options of PP and craniosynostosis, along with the differential of head shape anomalies based on phenotypic presentation. In doing so, we hope to provide pediatric care clinicians with the tools necessary to effectively evaluate and manage patients with head shape abnormalities.

Published: January 2023

Purpose:

Oxidative stress-induced mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Oxidized mitochondrial flavoprotein fluorescence (FPF) may serve as a quantifiable biomarker of oxidative stress, reported as either mean score for the entire image (intensity) or variability (heterogeneity). This study examines FPF intensity and heterogeneity across a large patient cohort of various Beckman stages of AMD.

Methods:

This study enrolled patients with isolated AMD and healthy control patients with no retinopathy between 2018 and 2021. Multivariate logistic regression analysis included stage of AMD, age, gender, ethnicity, and smoking status. Analysis of Variance test compared mean FPF intensity and heterogeneity between disease states.

Results:

Four hundred fifty-six eyes (228 AMD eyes, 228 age-matched control eyes) were included in the final multivariate analysis. Intermediate, geographic atrophy (GA), and neovascular AMD correlated with significantly increased FPF intensity (
P
< 0.001, respectively), while all AMD stages correlated with increased FPF heterogeneity (
P
< 0.001, respectively). FPF intensity and heterogeneity were significant negative predictors of visual acuity (
P
= 0.018 and 0.024, respectively).

Conclusions:

This prospective observational study further implicates mitochondrial damage in AMD pathophysiology. Long-term clinical trials will be needed to examine the predictive role of FPF imaging in patients over time.

Bioenergy potential of agricultural crop residues and municipal solid waste in Cameroon
Authors: Tanyi Robinson J. , Adaramola Muyiwa S
Published: January 2023

Biomass has emerged as an important and promising energy source, particularly in developing countries, owing to continuous research for sustainable energy sources that do not interfere with food, water or land needs. This study introduces the surplus availability factor (SAF), minimum, average and maximum biogas production technique in the assessment of crop production data in 2020 to provide a more precise and current estimate of Cameroon's crop residue and municipal solid waste (MSW) bioenergy potential. Crop residues contributed roughly 96% while MSW contributed the remaining 4% of the total bioenergy potential of 606 PJ per year. The bioenergy potential was calculated using crop production statistics derived from the FAOSTAT database of the Food and Agriculture Organization, while the residue-to-product ratio (RPR) and surplus availability factors (SAF) were found from related studies. The study concludes that crop residues and MSW have significant energy potential capable of meeting the country's electricity, transport fuel and biogas demand while simultaneously mitigating climate change through the capture of about 1.6 billion kg of CO2 through biogas recovery. It also highlights the lack of accurate and up-to-date data on the country's biomass potential and recommends ground data collection and geospatial mapping of areas with enormous potential for these resources to guide policymakers and investment plans.
Safety action over oscillations of a beam excited by moving load via a new active vibration controller
Authors: Bauomy Hany
Published: January 2023

This paper presents a mixed active controller (NNPDCVF) that combines cubic velocity feedback with a negative nonlinear proportional derivative to reduce the nonlinear vibrating behavior of a nonlinear dynamic beam system. Multiple time-scales method treatment is produced to get the mathematical solution of the equations for the dynamical modeling with NNPDCVF controller. This research focuses on two resonance cases which are the primary and 1/2 subharmonic resonances. Time histories of the primary system and the controller are shown to demonstrate the reaction with and without control. The time-history response, as well as the impacts of the parameters on the system and controller, are simulated numerically using the MATLAB program. Routh-Hurwitz criterion is used to examine the stability of the system under primary resonance. A numerical simulation, using the MATLAB program software, is obtained to show the time-history response, the effect of the parameters on the system and the controller. An investigation is done into how different significant effective coefficients affect the resonance's steady-state response. The results demonstrate that the main resonance response is occasionally impacted by the new active feedback control's ability to effectively attenuate amplitude. Choosing an appropriate control Gaining quantity can enhance the effectiveness of vibration control by avoiding the primary resonance zone and unstable multi-solutions. Optimum control parameter values are calculated. Validation curves are provided to show how closely the perturbation and numerical solutions are related.
An optimal control problem without control costs
Authors: Lefebvre Mario
Published: January 2023

A two-dimensional diffusion process is controlled until it enters a given subset of $ \mathbb{R}^2 $. The aim is to find the control that minimizes the expected value of a cost function in which there are no control costs. The optimal control can be expressed in terms of the value function, which gives the smallest value that the expected cost can take. To obtain the value function, one can make use of dynamic programming to find the differential equation it satisfies. This differential equation is a non-linear second-order partial differential equation. We find explicit solutions to this non-linear equation, subject to the appropriate boundary conditions, in important particular cases. The method of similarity solutions is used.

Published: January 2023

Healthcare is the method of keeping or enhancing physical and mental well-being with its aid of illness and injury prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The majority of conventional healthcare practices involve manual management and upkeep of client demographic information, case histories, diagnoses, medications, invoicing, and drug stock upkeep, which can result in human errors that have an impact on clients. By linking all the essential parameter monitoring equipment through a network with a decision-support system, digital health management based on Internet of Things (IoT) eliminates human errors and aids the doctor in making more accurate and timely diagnoses. The term "Internet of Medical Things" (IoMT) refers to medical devices that have the ability to communicate data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. Meanwhile, more effective monitoring gadgets have been made due to the technology advancements, and these devices can typically record a few physiological signals simultaneously, including the electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, the electroglottography (EGG) signal, the electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, and the electrooculogram (EOG) signal. Yet, there has not been much research on the connection between digital health management and multi-modal signal monitoring. To bridge the gap, this article reviews the latest advancements in digital health management using multi-modal signal monitoring. Specifically, three digital health processes, namely, lower-limb data collection, statistical analysis of lower-limb data, and lower-limb rehabilitation via digital health management, are covered in this article, with the aim to fully review the current application of digital health technology in lower-limb symptom recovery.

Published: January 2023

Objectives: It is critical to assess community readiness (CR) when implementing childhood obesity prevention programs to ensure their eventual success and sustainability. Multiple tools have been developed based on various conceptions of readiness. One of the most widely used and flexible tools is based on the community readiness model (CRM). This study aimed to adapt the CRM and assess the validity of a community readiness tool (CRT) for childhood obesity prevention programs in Iran.Methods: A Delphi study that included 26 individuals with expertise in 8 different subject areas was conducted to adapt the CRM into a theoretical framework for developing a CRT. After linguistic validation was conducted for a 35-question CR interview guide, the modified interview guide was evaluated for its content and face validity. The quantitative and qualitative analyses were performed using Stata version 13 and MAXQDA 2010, respectively.Results: The Delphi panelists confirmed the necessity/appropriateness and adequacy of all 6 CRM dimensions. The Persian version of the interview guide was then modified based on the qualitative results of the Delphi study, and 2 more questions were added to the community climate dimension of the original CRT. All questions in the modified version had acceptable content and face validity. The final CR interview guide included 37 questions across 6 CRM dimensions.Conclusions: By adapting the CRM and confirming linguistic, content, and face validity, the present study devised a CRT for childhood obesity prevention programs that can be used in relevant studies in Iran.

Published: January 2023

In this paper, the efficacy of machine learning (ML) techniques for predicting the academic success of students is investigated. In issues pertaining to higher education, as well as machine learning, deep learning, and its linkages to educational data, predicting student achievement is essential. The choice of courses and the development of effective future study plans for students can be easier with the help of the capacity to forecast a student's success. In addition to predicting student achievement, it makes it easier for instructors and administrators to keep an eye on children so that they can offer support and integrate trainings for the greatest outcomes. In this study, we define the idea of predicting the student performance in education and its several iterations. We discuss a number of ML approaches, such as the Fuzzy C-Means, the Multi-Layer Perceptron (MPL), the Logistic Regression (LR), and the Random Forest (RF) algorithms, for predicting student achievement in the classroom. The models for forecasting student performance that are now in use and those that have been proposed in this paper are carefully investigated. The paper examines different combinations of the algorithms including FCM – MLP, FCM – LR, and FCM – RF, and provides the detailed results of each combination. These strategies are assessed using quantitative standards including accuracy, detection rate, and false alarm rate.
Impact of Instruction-based LEGO WeDo 2.0 Robotic and Hypermedia on Students’ Intrinsic Motivation to Learn Science
Authors: Ajlouni Aseel O
Published: January 2023

Robots and hypermedia have been used as effective technological tools in the educational field. Despite their educational benefits, there are no studies investigating their impact on primary students’ intrinsic motivation in the field of science. For these reasons, the study aims to recognize the impact of employing LEGO WeDo 2.0 robotic and hypermedia on intrinsic motivation to learn science among primary students. The study implemented the quasi-experimental approach with a dual group design. The experimental group (n=25) was instructed on the force and motion topic using instruction-based LEGO WeDo 2.0 robotic and hypermedia, while the control group (n=25) was instructed using traditional instruction. The study conducted in Jordan involved fifty primary students.  The data was gathered by administering the developed Intrinsic Motivation Towards Learning Science Scale to both groups at pre and post-points; ANCOVA analysis revealed a significant effect in favor of the experimental group in increasing intrinsic motivation to learn science at α = 0.05. These results recommend science instructors employ robots and hypermedia to foster students’ intrinsic motivation. It also encourages decision-makers in educational institutions to make decisions related to the science curriculum and its instructional methods.

Published: January 2023

E-learning became the main medium of education in the world for the past two years. COVID-19 virus has pushed all the universities and academic institutions to utilize and activate E-learning platforms and systems. The sudden and urgent transformation from the regular traditional learning system to E-learning system has involved many challenges and limitations. Therefore, the need to evaluate and enhance the current E-learning mechanism in Iraq became very urgent and critical need. The target level was students at higher education institutes which include university students in Basra city. The data collected based on students’ evaluation and opinions about E-learning based on their interaction and usage during two years under COVID-19 spread era. This research involved applying data mining techniques to sample dataset and utilizing the obtained results as feedback for a proposed model suggested by the authors to measure adaptability. The proposed model is derived from the idea of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with focus on the positivity as the main factor to measure adaptability. The results of the research showed approximate adaptation level of 52% which is very close compared to the actual situation in real life which involve limitations and challenges faced by Iraqi students.
L’art et la plasticité des genres
Authors: Combet Eric
Published: January 2023

On emploie souvent aujourd’hui les termes « artiste » et « plasticien » comme synonymes. Sous cette simple manière de parler se dit une vérité troublante et profonde. Troublante, car la plasticité associe l’activité de la création d’une forme (la plastikê des Grecs) à la nécessaire destruction (le plasticage) de la forme initiale, de sorte que, si l’art est plastique, il est essentiellement lié à la perturbation et la transgression. Profonde, car cette plasticité ne serait pas le propre de notre modernité, et encore moins une idée relevant d’une mode intellectuelle passagère, mais l’essence intime de l’art à travers toute son histoire. On a voulu suggérer cela, en proposant le néologisme du « dianouménal » pour qualifier cette plasticité, et en remontant à l’art des cavernes pour en voir l’effectivité dès l’origine. Au Paléolithique, en effet, les Vénus gravettiennes par leur plastique androgyne sèment d’emblée le trouble dans le genre.
La confrontation des genres au tribunal au Moyen Âge (XIVe-XVIe siècles). Une relecture des relations de couples en conflit
Authors: Charageat Martine
Published: January 2023

La conflictualité conjugale analysée avec le concept de genre, et pas seulement en vue de vérifier l’application ou non du droit matrimonial par les juges d’église, rejoint le courant davantage socio-anthropologique que juridique de l’histoire du couple en Occident au Moyen Âge. Un souffle d’optimisme historiographique provient de travaux récents, dans un champ d’étude où l’on tardait encore à apprécier la capacité des femmes à ne pas subir de tristes situations conjugales, faites de violence, de misère sentimentale et sexuelle. Il n’empêche que le conflit, au moment de sa création, son récit devant le juge, les attentes des litigants quant à sa résolution obéissent à un rapport de force entre genres clairement distingués entre eux jusque dans le choix des normes, des arguments invoqués, de la rhétorique judiciaire déployée dans les procès. Même lorsque le couple agit par collusion, le dialogue avec le juge obéit aussi à des différences de genre.
Origem eclesiástica do Liceu de Angra dos Reis na Província do Rio de Janeiro (1822-1859)
Authors: Martins Marco Aurélio Corrêa
Published: January 2023

A partir de um seminário criado por um religioso leigo e dirigido por um padre religioso, a Assembleia Provincial do Rio de Janeiro erigiu, em 1839, um liceu público para reunir as aulas isoladas de ensino secundário mantidas na região de Angra dos Reis. Observando o contexto político e o religioso, pode-se inferir sobre essa relação entre Igreja e Estado no século XIX e sua prospecção de uma nova nação. Inspirado na filosofia da história de Ricoeur (2010) e na obra clássica de Ilmar Mattos (1987), o Tempo Saquarema, a pesquisa investigou os discursos e debates em torno desse período, sobre a instrução e a participação católica nesse contexto educacional. Utilizou-se como fontes os Anais da Assembleia e os Relatórios do Presidente da Província, e outras publicações da época.

The Assessment and Treatment of Dredged Sediments and Limestone Tuff Using Waste Ceramic with Low-Cement
Authors: Sellaf Hamid , Balegh Benamar , Bkhiti Malik
Published: January 2023

Dredged sediments are a valuable natural resource used in construction and public works, however some dredged sediments do not have the physical and chemical qualities necessary for reuse, necessitating the addition of complementary materials such as ceramic waste powder. The main objective of this study is to improve the technical quality of sediments by adding ceramic waste powder and cement in low content by strengthening its mechanical and geotechnical properties. The present paper reports the treatment and recovery of dredged sediments with varying percentages of ceramic powder (Cp) and cement. Various properties such as maximum dry density, optimum moisture content, and California Bearing Ratio (CBR) are analyzed, the obtained results are compared with limestone Tuff. Investigations are performed using percentages of ceramic powder (Cp) at 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10% and cement 5%. The results showed that there was an appreciable increase in strength and CBR values by the addition of Cp and cement. The research proved the effectiveness of the proposed method for constructing roads and pavements with low thickness.
The role of glutamine metabolism in castration-resistant prostate cancer
Authors: Zhao Bing , Wang Jing , Chen Li , Wang Hong , Liang Chao-Zhao , Huang Jiaoti , Xu Ling-Fan
Published: January 2023

Reprogramming of metabolism is a hallmark of tumors, which has been explored for therapeutic purposes. Prostate cancer (PCa), particularly advanced and therapy-resistant PCa, displays unique metabolic properties. Targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in PCa may benefit patients who have exhausted currently available treatment options and improve clinical outcomes. Among the many nutrients, glutamine has been shown to play a central role in the metabolic reprogramming of advanced PCa. In addition to amino acid metabolism, glutamine is also widely involved in the synthesis of other macromolecules and biomasses. Targeting glutamine metabolic network by maximally inhibiting glutamine utilization in tumor cells may significantly add to treatment options for many patients. This review summarizes the metabolic landscape of PCa, with a particular focus on recent studies of how glutamine metabolism alterations affect therapeutic resistance and disease progression of PCa, and suggests novel therapeutic strategies.

Chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 1 (CHD1) deletion is among the most common mutations in prostate cancer (PCa), but its role remains unclear. In this study, RNA sequencing was conducted in PCa cells after clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9)-based CHD1 knockout. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) indicated upregulation of hypoxia-related pathways. A subsequent study confirmed that CHD1 deletion significantly upregulated hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF1α) expression. Mechanistic investigation revealed that CHD1 deletion upregulated HIF1α by transcriptionally downregulating prolyl hydroxylase domain protein 2 (PHD2), a prolyl hydroxylase catalyzing the hydroxylation of HIF1α and thus promoting its degradation by the E3 ligase von Hippel–Lindau tumor suppressor (VHL). Functional analysis showed that CHD1 deletion promoted angiogenesis and glycolysis, possibly through HIF1α target genes. Taken together, these findings indicate that CHD1 deletion enhances HIF1α expression through PHD2 downregulation and therefore promotes angiogenesis and metabolic reprogramming in PCa.
Use of Marsupialisation for a Conservative Approach to Huge Cystic Lesions of the Jaws - A Report of three Cases
Authors: Kolari Vinayakrishna , Dhabaria Husain , Sengupta Shreya , Sait Adil Iqbal , Shah Abhishek
Published: January 2023

Rationale:

The management of cystic lesions of the jaws presents a challenge to the surgeon. Marsupialisation, one of the conservative management options, has been used as a single or combined surgical treatment modality for the cystic lesions of the jaws.

Patient Concerns:

All patients presented with a complaint of a firm swelling of the face with one of the patients presenting with paraesthesia in the affected area.

Diagnosis:

Clinical and radiographic examination was carried out followed by aspiration cytology. All lesions were provisionally diagnosed with odontogenic cystic lesions.

Treatment:

Marsupialisation under general anaesthesia was carried out for all patients. Postoperatively, a customised obturator was fabricated.

Outcomes:

All the patients showed good radiological ossification postoperatively.

Take-Away Lessons:

The approach to larger cysts remains controversial. The long-term results following the marsupialisation of extensive cysts of this report may help surgeons to opt for a conservative approach to such lesions before aggressive options.

Authors: Abrantes Thamiris Castro , Barra Sâmila Gonçalves , Silva Leni Verônica Oliveira , Abrahão Aline Corrêa , Mesquita Ricardo Alves , Abreu Lucas Guimarães
Published: January 2023

Rationale:

Phleboliths are idiopathic calcifications resulting from mineralised structures inside veins, venules or blood vessels.

Patient Concerns:

A 48-year-old woman presented with multiple hard bodies on palpation.

Diagnosis:

Imaging studies revealed multiple, round, well-defined radiopaque lesions, extending from the coronoid process region down to the base of the mandible. The diagnosis was vascular malformation with multiple phleboliths.

Treatment and Outcome:

No treatment was proposed and the patient is under follow-up.

Take-Away Lessons:

Asymptomatic phleboliths of the head and neck region in an adult woman have been under surveillance.
Evaluation of the Effects of Polidocanol Injection in the Treatment of Temporomandibular Joint Hypermobility - A Prospective Study
Authors: Vaidyanathan Aiswarya , Haidry Naqoosh , Sinha Upasna , Singh Abhishek , Salahudheen Ameera
Published: January 2023

Introduction:

Sclerosing agents have been used for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) hypermobility since decades, some of which are ethanolamine oleate, and OK-432, sodium psylliate (sylnasol), but there are no studies on the usage of polidocanol – a well-known sclerosing agent which does not have much side effects and is inexpensive. Hence, this study evaluates the effect of polidocanol injection in the treatment of TMJ hypermobility.

Methodology:

This was a prospective observational study in which patients with chronic TMJ hypermobility were included. Out of the 44 patients who had symptoms of clicking and pain of the TMJ, 28 were diagnosed as internal derangement of the TMJ. The final analysis included 15 patients in whom multiple injections of polidocanol were given on the basis of post-operative parameters. The sample size was calculated based on a significance level of 0.05 and a power of 80%.

Results:

Overall, a success rate of 86.6% (13/15) was encountered at the end of three months, with seven patients not reporting any further episodes of dislocation after one injection and six patients not reporting any episode of dislocation after two injections.

Discussion:

Polidocanol sclerotherapy can be used as a treatment modality for chronic recurrent dislocation of the TMJ, rather than opting for more invasive procedures for the same.
Trigeminocardiac Reflex as a Complication of Excision of Schwannoma of the Trigeminal Nerve - A Rare Clinical Case Report
Authors: Anto Ronald , Riju Jeyashanth , Vidya Konduru , Tirkey Amit Jiwan
Published: January 2023

Rationale:

Trigeminal schwannoma (TS) is a very rare tumour in the head-and-neck region and the occurrence of intraoperative trigeminocardiac reflex (TCR), during surgery, should not be underestimated. The physiological function of this rare brainstem reflex is yet to be fully established.

Patient Concerns:

TCR occurs in a variety of surgeries, such as neurosurgical, maxillofacial, dental and skull base surgeries with bradycardia as the presenting sign.

Diagnosis:

This is a clinical profile of two patients who presented with schwannoma of the trigeminal nerve.

Outcomes:

Intraoperatively, during dissection of tumour, both patients had bradycardia with hypotension.

Treatment:

The first patient had a spontaneous recovery but the other required intervention with vasopressors.

Take-Away Lessons:

One must be aware of the rare occurrence of TCR mainly while operating on a rare occurring TS. Ceaseless intraoperative monitoring and being prepared with adequate measures while manipulating close to the nerve will prevent serious complications.
Does the Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Increase the Risk of Angle Fracture to Prevent the Incidence of Condylar Fracture? – A Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Venkatachalam Vaishali , Pandiarajan Rajesh
Published: January 2023

Introduction:

This study aimed to retrospectively analyse the influence of the presence or absence of third molars and its position on the incidence of angle and condylar fractures of mandible.

Methodology:

A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of 148 patients with mandibular fractures was done. A complete analysis of their clinical records and their radiological data was done. The primary predictor variable was the presence or absence of third molars and their positional status (Pell and Gregory’s classification) if present. The outcome variable was the type of fracture and other predictor variables included age, gender and fracture aetiology. Data were subjected to statistical analysis.

Results:

We observed that out of 48 patients with angle fractures, third molar was present in 67.34% and in 51.35% of 37 patients with condylar fractures, and there existed a positive correlation between the both. A significant association between the position of the teeth (Class II, III and Position B), angle fractures and (Class I, II, Position A) and condylar fractures was observed.

Conclusion:

Angular fractures were associated with superficial and deep impactions and condylar fractures were associated with superficial impactions. No association was observed with the age, gender or mechanism of injury to the pattern of fractures. Impacted mandibular molars increase the risk of angle fracture, thereby preventing the force transmission to the condyle, and the absence or a fully erupted tooth increases the risk of condylar fractures.
Accessory Maxilla in a Tessier 07 Cleft - A Case Report
Authors: Balaji S. M. , Balaji Preetha
Published: January 2023

The Rationale:

Accessory maxilla is a rare condition often associated with Tessier type-7 clefts with fewer than 25 cases recorded in the literature. This manuscript reports a unilateral accessory maxilla with six supernumerary teeth.

Patient Concerns:

A 5-1/2-year-old boy, a treated macrostomia case, on follow-up visit showed evidence of accessory maxilla with teeth on radiological examination. The structure was interfering with growth, and hence, surgical removal was planned.

Diagnosis:

Based on clinical history, diagnosis and imaging, accessory maxilla with supernumerary teeth was diagnosed.

Treatment and Outcomes:

The accessory structures and teeth were removed surgically via an intraoral approach. Healing was uneventful. The growth deviation was arrested.

Take-Away Lessons:

Intraoral approach is a good option to remove an accessory maxilla. Tessier type-7 cleft may be accompanied by type-5 clefts and such accessory structures when impinging on vital structures such as temporomandibular joint or facial nerve should be immediately removed to facilitate proper form and function.
Stereophotogrammetric Method for Fabrication of Cranioplast Using Digital Facial Scan Technology - A Case Report
Authors: Gupta Abhishek Kumar , Gupta Rekha , Gill Shubhra , Bansal Kriti , Singh Nikita
Published: January 2023

Rationale:

Traumatic brain injury is the most common cause of cranial defects. Cranioplasty is the surgical intervention performed to repair cranial defects. The purpose of a cranioplast is to protect the underlying brain tissues, reduce pain, and improve calvarial contour and symmetry.

Patient Concerns:

This case report describes the management of an ambulatory aided patient who met with a road traffic accident and had undergone decompressive craniectomy.

Diagnosis:

Noncontrast computed tomography confirmed the frontal cranial defect and was planned for decompressive craniectomy.

Treatment Plan:

An innovative multi-camera three-dimensional (3D) face-scanning software (Bellus 3D) was used for facial scanning to obtain a 3D face model and fabrication of 3D model using rich presence technology.

Outcomes:

The wax pattern was then fabricated on a 3D-prototyped model and a customised polymethylmethacrylate cranioplast was fabricated.

Take-Away Lessons:

his method with the added advantage of rapid prototyping technology resulted in prosthesis with good aesthetics and better fit.
Chronic Maxillary Atelectasis without Obstruction of the Maxillary Ostium - A Case Report
Authors: Numano Yuki , Nomura Kazuhiro , Hemmi Tomotaka , Suzuki Jun , Kakuta Risako , Sugawara Mitsuru
Published: January 2023

Rationale:

Chronic maxillary atelectasis (CMA) is assumed to be caused by negative pressure in the maxillary sinus secondary to the obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex.

Patient Concerns:

A 49-year-old female patient first presented to our hospital complaining of right nasal congestion, rhinorrhoea and cheek pain.

Diagnosis:

Computed tomography (CT) accidentally revealed the inward bowing of the left maxillary sinus, which is a typical sign of CMA or silent sinus syndrome despite the maxillary ostium being potent.

Treatment:

We did not consider any intervention for CMA because she had no symptoms related to it.

Outcomes and Take-Away Lessons:

No progression was noted clinically or on CT at the 6-month follow-up. The pathogenesis of CMA in our patient was not explainable by the commonly accepted theory. Apparent hypertrophy of the left maxillary bone was confirmed on CT, thus osteitis with chronic rhinosinusitis might be the potential cause of CMA in the open maxillary sinus.
Extremely Large Submandibular Sialolith Removal - A Case Report
Authors: Mathew Justin , Pothanikat Joseph John K. , Kumar R. B. Vinod , Padikadan Naveen Odiyil , Arakkal Neeta Joy
Published: January 2023

The Rationale:

Sialoliths are calcified organic matter that form within the secretory system of the salivary glands. They rarely measure more than 1.5 cm. Giant sialoliths are rare and defined as a size of 3.5 cm or larger.

Patient concerns:

Patient complained of the pain and swelling in the right submandibular area for two years with increase in size during meals.

Diagnosis:

Based on the clinical and radiological investigations.

Treatment:

Sialolith measuring 39 mm and weighing 7.02 g, was removed in a minimally invasive manner through transoral sialolithotomy using diode 810 mm LASER unit under local anaesthesia.

Outcomes:

Patient was relieved of the preoperative symptoms and was on follow-up for one year.

Take-Away Lessons:

Various newer treatment modalities are effective alternatives to conventional surgical treatment of sialoliths. However, transoral sialolithotomy remains the mainstay of management.
Assessment of Speech in Patients Undergoing Hemiglossectomy with Primary Closure and Radiotherapy - A Prospective Study
Authors: Dasgupta Sohini , Samuel Soumi
Published: January 2023

Introduction:

The oral cavity plays a pivotal role in the generation of speech. The treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma of the tongue requires an aggressive approach, combining resective surgery along with radiation therapy, with long-lasting effects on the patient’s ability to speak. This study was designed to assess speech in subjects with carcinoma of the tongue following hemiglossectomy with primary closure and radiotherapy.

Methods:

A prospective study was carried out in 20 subjects who underwent hemiglossectomy with primary closure for carcinoma of the tongue followed by radiotherapy. All subjects were evaluated for speech using ‘Kannada Diagnostic Photo Articulation Test’ before surgery, after surgery (on the 10th and 30th day), during radiation therapy after 15 fractions of radiation and after 1, 2 and 3 months following completion of radiotherapy. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software (v. 17.0). Significance levels were determined using ANOVA followed by Bonferroni correction.

Results:

Intelligibility of speech was noted to be affected most at the one month follow-up visit after completion of radiotherapy (P < 0.001). The Kannada Diagnostic Photo Articulation Test proves to be a useful tool in assessing changes in speech, with results that can be replicated in further studies.

Discussion:

The incidence of articulatory errors is increased following surgery and radiotherapy. Over time, the number of errors reduce and approach the baseline, indicating that although speech is indeed hampered by the treatment, with adequate speech therapy one can regain their preoperative articulation.
