Jacqueline Dreyfus, bibliothécaire et conteuse
Authors: Lebarbier Micheline
Published: December 2020

À partir de documents conservés dans le fonds patrimonial Heure joyeuse à la médiathèque Françoise‑Sagan, est exhumée la vie et l’œuvre de Jacqueline Dreyfus, qui fut l’une de ses stagiaires. Elle fut l’une des premières bibliothécaires pour enfants pendant la période de l’entre‑deux‑guerres et eut à cœur de leur transmettre le goût de la littérature, tant à travers la lecture qu’à travers l’audition de contes et d’histoires lues ou racontées. Formée à l’art de raconter lors des séances de l’Heure du conte à la bibliothèque L’Heure joyeuse de la rue Boutebrie, elle transporta ce « savoir conter » dans les deux bibliothèques (rue de Ménilmontant et rue Fessart) dont elle eut la charge au cours des années 1931‑1937. Dans ses notes et comptes rendus sont consignés la vie de ces bibliothèques, ses joies et ses doutes en tant que conteuse et ses interactions avec ses jeunes lecteurs/auditeurs. Constamment soucieuse de la transmission orale qu’elle leur offrait, souvent imparfaite à ses yeux, elle n’eut de cesse de leur présenter la quintessence de la littérature enfantine de l’époque, tant par le livre que par l’oralité. Elle disparut à Auschwitz en 1943.
Les contes de fées, ça c’est beau !!!!
Authors: Belmont Nicole
Published: December 2020

Cet article tente de suivre la création et l’évolution d’une pratique inédite en France à cette époque tourmentée et pleine d’espoirs nouveaux, celle de l’entre‑deux‑guerres (1924‑1939). Il s’agit de la pratique du contage aux enfants, dans un cadre lui aussi inédit : une bibliothèque qui leur est exclusivement consacrée, L’Heure joyeuse. Suivant l’exemple des États-Unis, les deux activités sont corollaires, l’une ne va pas sans l’autre. Les réactions des enfants à l’Heure du conte sont notées très soigneusement et analysées : il s’agit d’abord de susciter leur plaisir à l’écoute, voire leur enthousiasme, souvent attesté et qui s’inscrit dans le partage entre enfants et conteuse. On y remarque peu d’intention pédagogique manifeste, sinon parfois un retour spontané vers le livre dont a été tiré le conte dit. À un niveau plus profond, il s’agit d’amener l’enfant vers une rêverie poétique et créatrice au sens où l’entend G. Bachelard.
Lost: A Kaleidoscopic Fiction
Authors: Cornillon Claire
Published: December 2020

Lost seems at first to present an evolution from the fantastic to fantasy, through science fiction, but eventually reveals a didactic pattern that invalidates a series of cognitive hypotheses and viewpoints on the series. In fine, acceptance is more important in Lost than knowledge: rather than an enigma, the series is a mystery that we have to accept and an experience of a community of love and acceptance.
The Promise of Lost (About Season 2)
Authors: Dulong Guillaume
Published: December 2020

This essay deals with the themes of the leap of faith, the ritual and the sacrifice in the television show Lost, concentrating mainly on season 2. It questions Lost’s promise to spectator as far as narration is concerned. This promise seems to be paradoxical: the story requires the viewer to be suspicious and even to distrust what s/he sees. Our work examines the Swan Station apparatus and the opposition between belief and knowledge which is reflected in the antagonism between Jack Sheppard and John Locke and finds a solution in the sacrifice of Desmond Hume. The essay analyses the episodes “Man of science, Man of faith” (S02E01), “?” (S02E21) and “Live together, Die alone” (S02E23-24). The first episode is interpreted in relation to Kierkegaard’s works to show that belief and knowledge are two phases before a character’s leap of faith, which consists in being open to others. However, the repetition of this leap is problematic; the second episode is understood as a focalisation on the despair of one character, Locke, who gives us a reflexion on the way to look at the TV show as an undecidable oscillation between distrust and trust, i.e. between the Pearl and the Swan. The third one, compared with David Hume’s writings and to Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, allows to reveal the solution offered by the show, which would be self-sacrifice, mainly the sacrifice of one’s own pride, evident in Desmond and Penelope’s relationship.
Conceptualizing Otherness with Lost: Foucault, Lacan, and the Mediation of the Gaze
Authors: Willis Louis-Paul
Published: December 2020

Among the numerous references to philosophy that permeate its narrative universe, Lost seems to be predominantly traversed by Foucauldian themes, mostly related to articulations of looking dynamics and surveillance. Themes related to panopticism and discipline constitute notable underpinnings for the series’ plot, as several previous analyses have pertinently demonstrated. This article proposes an examination of the spectatorial repercussions related to this facet of Lost, most importantly by establishing ties between the panoptic gaze and the gaze in its psychoanalytic conception, elaborated by Jacques Lacan. By examining both these concepts of a gaze deployed around the position of the Other, this article focuses on the series’ exploration of subjectivity in the era of panopticism. By exploring the importance and narrative deployment of these notions of the gaze within Lost, it is suggested that the series articulates a certain radicality around the notion of Otherness, as well as its expression through the televisual mediation of the gaze.
CLASSIFICATION OF PROGRESSIVE STAGES OF ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE IN MRI HIPPOCAMPAL REGION
Authors: Thamizhvani T. R. , Farheen Syed Uzma , Hemalatha R. J. , Josephin Arockia Dhivya A.
Published: December 2020

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a type of neuronal brain disorder that is degenerative and results in memory loss, skills and cognitive changes. The primary diagnostic tests for the disorder are defined to be total brain atrophy and hippocampal atrophy. Early diagnosis is significant and the design of automatic systems is necessary for this disorder. A potential biomarker for AD is described using a hippocampal magnetic resonance imaging volumetry system that possesses certain limitations. This paper aims to analyze the transition of stages from normal cognition to different forms that ultimately leads to Alzheimer’s disease. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images of different stages are derived from the standard database for the segregation of hippocampal region. Later, the morphological and radiomic features are extracted from the hippocampal regions of different stages, since the hippocampus plays a major role in memory. Classification of extracted features was performed using machine learning algorithms like ensemble tree classifiers. The classification results based on performance parameters specify that the bagged tree classifier is more efficient. The 4-way classification has an accuracy of 95.6% indicating certain misclassification between the two classes MCI and PMCI. To categorize these two classes, a 2-way classification is described that has an accuracy of 98.6%. With these results, an effective method is defined for the analysis and identification of the different progressive stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

Published: December 2020

Human regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been implicated in cancer immunotherapy and are also an emerging cellular therapeutic for the treatment of multiple indications. Although Treg stability during ex vivo culture has improved, methods to assess Treg stability such as bisulfite Sanger sequencing to determine the methylation status of the Treg-specific demethylated region (TSDR) have remained unchanged. Bisulfite Sanger sequencing is not only costly and cumbersome to perform, it is inaccurate because of relatively low read counts. Bisulfite next-generation sequencing, although more accurate, is a less accessible method. In this study, we describe the application of methylation-sensitive restriction enzymes (MSRE) and quantitative PCR (qPCR) to determine the methylation status of the TSDR. Using known ratios of Tregs and non-Tregs, we show that MSRE-qPCR can distinguish the methylation status of the TSDR in populations of cells containing increasing proportions of Tregs from 0 to 100%. In a comparison with values obtained from an established bisulfite next-generation sequencing approach for determining the methylation status of the TSDR, our MSRE-qPCR results were within 5% on average for all samples with a high percentage (>70%) of Tregs, reinforcing that MSRE-qPCR can be completed in less time than other methods with the same level of accuracy. The value of this assay was further demonstrated by quantifying differences in TSDR methylation status of Tregs treated with and without rapamycin during an ex vivo expansion culture. Together, we show that our novel application of the MSRE-qPCR to the TSDR is an optimal assay for accurate assessment of Treg purity.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected more than 20 million people worldwide, with mortality exceeding 800,000 patients. Risk factors associated with severe disease and mortality include advanced age, hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Each of these risk factors pathologically disrupts the lipidome, including immunomodulatory eicosanoid and docosanoid lipid mediators (LMs). We hypothesized that dysregulation of LMs may be a defining feature of the severity of COVID-19. By examining LMs and polyunsaturated fatty acid precursor lipids in serum from hospitalized COVID-19 patients, we demonstrate that moderate and severe disease are separated by specific differences in abundance of immune-regulatory and proinflammatory LMs. This difference in LM balance corresponded with decreased LM products of ALOX12 and COX2 and an increase LMs products of ALOX5 and cytochrome p450. Given the important immune-regulatory role of LMs, these data provide mechanistic insight into an immuno-lipidomic imbalance in severe COVID-19.

Published: December 2020

A high incidence of heterotopic ossification (HO) has been reported in patients with diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), a metabolic disease characterized by calcifications of entheses at spine and peripheral sites. We performed histological and immunohistochemical analyses in five different HO sites in a patient with DISH to study a possible mutual interaction of bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and decorin, crucial for bone mass increasing, matrix calcification, and endochondral bone formation. We speculated that the surgical trauma triggered HO, inducing TGF-β release at the lesion site. TGF-β recruits osteoblast precursor cells and determines the overexpression of BMP-2 in the surrounding skeletal muscle, inducing a further osteogenic differentiation, contributing to HO onset.

Published: December 2020

Coronavirus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) is the worst worldwide pandemic with more than 12,000,000 cases and 560,000 deaths until 14th July 2020. Men were more infected by COVID-19 than women, and male subjects with underlying conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases developed a severe form of the affection, with increased mortality rate. Many factors can contribute to the disparity in disease outcomes, such as hormone-specific reaction and activity of X-linked genes, which modulate the innate and adaptive immune response to virus infection. Until now, only the Remdesivir was approved by FDA (Food Drug Administration) for COVID-19 treatment, although several clinical trials are ongoing worldwide also on other drugs. In this review, we analyzed published studies on several drugs (chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine, remdesivir, favipiravir, lopinavir-ritonavir in combination, tocilizumab, plasma, and immunoglobulins) with some efficacy to COVID-19 in humans, and evaluated if there were a gender analysis of the available data. In our opinion, it is essential to report data about COVID-19 disaggregated by sex, age, and race, because the knowledge of gender differences is fundamental to identify effective and customized treatments to reduce hospitalizations, admissions to intensive care units, and mortality.

Published: December 2020

The novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has distinct clinical manifestations that can vary from an asymptomatic condition to severe acute respiratory failure. Phenotypes are attributable to different pathophysiological mechanisms and require different treatment strategies. The assessment and identification of different phenotypes can guide therapy configurations such as oxygen therapy, non-invasive ventilation, airway management, and tracheal intubation. Further studies are essential to provide information on the influence of phenotypes in the decision of rehabilitation strategies. The sequelae left in the respiratory system of COVID-19 survivors and its limitations will be a challenge for rehabilitation services worldwide. Lung injuries are directly related to the phenotypes presented, and depending on the degree of these injuries, rehabilitation strategies can be targeted. We believe that differentiating patients, according to their respective phenotypes, can improve decision-making in treatment and individualized rehabilitation.
Function analysis of the calls of Dendropsophus microps of the Campos do Jordão State Park, São Paulo, Brazil
Authors: Toledo Maysa Hernandes Ricardo , Martins Itamar Alves
Published: December 2020

In this study, we describe the calls emitted by Dendropsophus microps, a species of frog in the family Hylidae, in Serra da Mantiqueira, Campos do Jordão, São Paulo, Brazil, and evaluate their functions in the social context using playback experiments. Between October 2016 and November 2017, 15 males of D. microps were recorded. Six hundred and five calls were analyzed and the existence of five types of call compositions was verified: simple call “A normal”; compound call “Af”; shorter “A” call + longer “A” call; “A + Af” calls; and simple call “B”; demonstrating the presence of compound calling in the vocalization structure. One thousand, six hundred and seventeen calls were recorded during the playback experiment in response to the 5 previously constructed stimuli. The “B” call was the most emitted in response to stimuli. The “A”, “Af”, “AA” and “AAf” stimuli caused visual signaling. We recorded a series of 4 to 5 “A” calls during agonistic interactions. Call "B" was identified as an advertisement call and calls "A", "Af", "AA" and "AAf" as aggressive calls. The presence of visual communication in addition to the acoustic communication of these individuals was also observed. The findings increase knowledge of the calling repertoire of this species and can be used in the future in other behavioral and taxonomic studies.

Authors: Mélega Julien César , Targa Marcelo Dos Santos
Published: December 2020

With the emergence of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), there was also the development of specific technologies applied to Environmental Education which are used by teachers. In this context, several softwares for teaching/learning were developed, with educational games aiming at stimulating student’s knowledge skills using amusement among the available modalities. In Brazil, several digital games have been created to meet the demands set out in the National Water Resources Policies (Law 9433/97) and Environmental Education (Law 9795/99), which states in its Article 2 that Environmental Education must be present at all levels of education. The present study characterized the profile of students of Elementary School II on the issue of water and verified the satisfaction of the digital game on the part of the students, identifying suggestions and ideas as to the benefits that the practice of digital gaming can offer in the classroom and in teaching practice. The study was developed in a school unit, part of the education network of Taubaté municipality, SP, and carried out with 63 eighth-grade students, with ages varying from 13 to 14 years, using the digital game Educa-Ação-Água. The first activity in this study was to raise students’ awareness through a visit to the municipality’s water capture and treatment station. In the data collection phase, a first questionnaire was applied in order to determine the students’ level of knowledge on the topic of water and, later, after the students played the digital game, they answered a second questionnaire. The activity with the digital game Educa-Ação-Água led to students’ awareness and learning about the water theme, leading them to recognize its importance and developing critical sense. In an evaluation of the game, it was observed that 51.6% of the students rated the game as “Good” and 35% of them rated it as “Very Good”, 88% felt encouraged to finish the game (Save the Tijuco River) and about 65% would play again at home or in the classroom. There was a contribution from students (players) when evaluating the game Educa-Ação-Água, noting points to be improved. The use of the WordCloud Tool allowed for a satisfactory graphical visualization of the students’ answers.

Published: December 2020

Humic acid is a very important component for soil. In particular, It is an important factor for regulation of plant nutrients. In this study, HA (humic acid) contents of soil samples taken from 12 different locations were determined by appropriate method. After extracting the humic acid from the soil samples, the remaining soil elements concentrations were determined by ICP-OES method. In addition, the element concentrations in the humic acid fraction were determined by the same method. In soil samples were determined organic matter (OM), pH, EC, clay, silt and sand. The relationships between all variables were evaluated by multivariate statistical analysis such as correlation, simple linear regression, PCA (Principal Component Analysis). Spearman rho coefficient was taken into consideration in the correlation analysis. Simple linear regression analysis showed significant regression model between HA and OM, pH, HAfMn (HAf: humic acid fraction), HAfSe, HAfP, TfCd (Tf:soil fraction), TfMn, TfPb, TfSe. In the PCA analysis, 4 factors were found to explain 88.23% of the total change. P1:OM, TPb, TSe, HA  P2:TAs, TSb, TBa, TMn, TFe  P3: TCd, TP, pH, TSn, Silt, TAl  P4: Kil, sand, TBe, EC.

The Meanings of Magic
Authors: Harding Mike
Published: December 2020

This paper explores at how the word ‘magic’ may be used, drawing mainly on the work of Wittgenstein. Beginning with his critique of Frazer’s The Golden Bough, the attitudes of science, spirituality and psychotherapy towards magic and ritual and astrology are discussed, and a key passage in The Tractatus is used to challenge orthodox concepts of causality and explanation. The idea of ‘real magic’ as opposed to trickery is addressed via Heidegger’s paper On the Essence of Truth, and the paper closes with a reflection on a current scientific suggestion that factors previously considered to be permanent might prove to be variable with time.
Teleological and Aesthetic Perfection in the Aurora Consurgens
Authors: Parham Karen
Published: December 2020

This paper examines the concept of perfection in relation to the celestial magic described within the alchemical work Aurora Consurgens. This fifteenthcentury illuminated manuscript has been erroneously attributed to Thomas Aquinas and was popularised by Carl Gustav Jung. It contains an entire section on ‘astronomy’, which is one of the keys to wisdom and perfection. Perfection, a multifaceted concept, proves useful in elucidating further philosophical understanding of the various traditions within Western esotericism. By identifying interpretations of this concept within Aurora Consurgens, I hope to demonstrate how this approach can aid in the understanding of both Aurora Consurgens and of alchemy and its relationship to celestial magic in general. This will then provide an opening to identifying concepts that are common to all Western esoteric traditions.
Angelomorphism and Magical Transformation in the Christian and Jewish Traditions
Authors: Greig Alison
Published: December 2020

This paper examines the concept of angelomorphism and magical transformation with reference to canonical and non-canonical Christian and Jewish beliefs. Magic, as loosely defined, is the attempt to engage with the world through the imagination or psyche in order to obtain some form of knowledge, benefit, or advantage, while celestial magic engages with the cosmos through stellar, planetary, or celestial symbolism, influences, or intelligences.1 Angelification of an individual is linked to the concept of resurrection, where, in the eschaton, the physical body of the righteous is transformed into a glorious new body fit for eternal life in heaven, regaining its divine likeness and becoming androgynous like an angel. The Hebrew Bible and Merkabah traditions support the possibility of the exceptional transformation of a human being into an angelic entity. Qumran liturgical texts also suggest the formation of an angelomorphic identity among the priesthood. The Christian gospels state that the redeemed will become like angels in heaven. Gnostics, however, consider that scriptural references to resurrection refer symbolically to receiving spiritual knowledge (gnosis). The paper examines concepts and practices within the respective traditions that point to a radical magical transformation of the human being that is needed to secure access to the heaven realm and the divine.
Structural and Thermal Analysis of Brake
Drum
Authors: A.Pavan Kumar and Dr.D Venkata Rao Shaik Chand Mabhu Subhani
Published: December 2020

The brake drum is a specialized brake that uses the concept of friction to decelerate or to stop the vehicle.
The deceleration is achieved by the assistance of the friction generated by a set of brake shoes or pads.
During the brake operation heat is ejected out this causes damage to the brake. Disc (Rotor) brakes are
exposed to large thermal stresses during routine braking and extraordinary thermal stresses during hard
braking. To satisfy this condition the drum material should possess a high thermal conductivity, thermal
capacity and high strength .The common material used for construction of brake drum is cast iron.
The aim of the project is to design, model a disc. Modeling is done using catia. Structural and Thermal
analysis is to be done on the drum brakes using four materials Stainless Steel, gray Cast iron, carbon carbon
composite & aluminum metal matrix. The shoes of this kind of brake are contained within the drum and
expand outwards when the brake is applied. Such kind of brakes is used in medium heavy-duty vehicles.
Structural analysis is done on the drum brake to validate the strength of the drum brake and thermal
analysis is done to analyze the thermal properties. Comparison can be done for deformation; stresses,
temperature etc. form the three materials to check which material is best. Catia is a 3d modeling software
widely used in the design process. ANSYS is general-purpose finite element analysis (FEA) software
package. Finite Element Analysis is a numerical method of deconstructing a complex system into very small
pieces (of user-designated size) called elements.

The administration of any democratic state revolves around the three constitutionally recognized arms of government; the legislature, executive and the judiciary. Their relationship is very important for the actualization of the goals of the state. However, this relationship is more pronounced between the executive and the legislature as both appear to belong to political parties and are elected by the electorates. Executive/legislative relationship most times appears conflictual and in some cases cooperative. The study examines the executive/legislative relationship in Bayelsa State to determine the nature and the issues and challenges in their relationship during Henry Seriake Dickson administration. To achieve the objective of the study, two research questions were formulated to guide the study. System theory was used as framework for analysis. The study draws its arguments basically from secondary source hence content analysis research design was used to analyze the secondary data. The findings revealed that the executive dominated the legislature in their relationship under Henry Seriake Dickson’s administration which weakened the ability of the legislators to effectively perform their duties as the representatives of the people. It was also revealed that the unprofessional and inexperience of the legislators also affected their ability to effectively perform their duties which affected the social, economic and political development of the state. In the light of the above, the study recommends amongst others that the legislature should wake up to their responsibility as the watchdog of the executive and effectively monitor the activities of the executive in order to ensure good governance in Bayelsa State. More experienced people should be elected to the legislature to curtail the excesses and the continued dominance of the executive on the legislature and other institutions of government.

Water quality is of great importance due to its impact on human health and aquatic systems. Since Islamabadand Rawalpindi get their drinking water from Simly dam, this makes it an important drinking water source. In thisstudy water quality parameters of Simly dam were determined and water quality index (WQI) using Arithmeticweighted method was calculated. Collection of water samples from different locations of dam and the filtration plantinstalled in the facility was done. Twelve physicochemical parameters of water quality including: pH, ElectricalConductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), alkalinity, hardness, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), DissolvedOxygen (DO), Total Chloride, Calcium, Nitrates, Potassium and Sodium (Na) were measured to estimate the sentientand water quality of the Simly dam. WQI of both raw dam water and filtered dam water was determined using WorldHealth Organization (WHO) standards for drinking water. The water quality index of raw dam water was found to be62.79 while that of filtered dam water was 49.43. The WQI of the unfiltered raw dam water was found to be in class Cthat is poor category, while the filtered dam water was falling in Class B that refers to good category according to waterquality index categories. Regular monitoring of water quality is recommended to ensure safe water supply toconsumers.

Small scale mining industry is considered more hazardous than other industries worldwide. Large number of workers receive minor and major injuries leading to disabilities or loss of lives due to frequent accidents in mines. Main causes of accidents in mines are fall of roof, improper ventilation system, gases, fires and mine explosions. Beside these hazards, violation of rules and regulations for mine workers are common, which also cause accidents. This paper is focused on issues associated with the health and safety of workers of Cherat Coal Mines (CCM), Abbottabad Coal Mine (ACM) and Abbottabad Soapstone Mine (ASM), Pakistan. The collected data were analyzed with SPSS computer statistics software. The data analyses indicated that the lack of education and violation of safety laws cause accidents in mines. Results show that problems that were rated higher by more than 60% of workers included slide and fall, dust, roof fall and explosive related hazards. In survey more than 50% of the workers admitted the existence of gases, fire and low height mines are common hazards in their workplace. The results also indicated that not only workers but management are also affected by accidents. More than 17% of worker in CCM faced serious accidents up to 3 times during one year. Up to 26% of workers in CCM, 13% in ACM and 15% in ASM suffered accidents for which they had 3 workdays off. It has been concluded that training should be arranged, especially the safety related training on regular basis to reduce the risk of accidents.

Jean-Paul Sartre, em determinado momento, dá a sua visão e reformula a teoria psicanalítica desenvolvida por Sigmund Freud, colocando o sujeito em uma posição mais ativa e não empírica; desta maneira, Sartre nos diz que o homem é aquilo que faz com o que fazem dele, por ele e/ou com ele, afastando-se, então, da proposta freudiana do inconsciente.
