Authors: do Rego Aljerry Dias , Andrade Nascimento Lysya Gabriela , Gomes Lauana
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Urinary Incontinence (UI) is investigated through clinical history, physical exam, urinalysis, voiding diary, Pad-test, urodynamic study and imaging exams. Objective: To assess the efectiveness of the urodynamic test in proving UI. Methodology: Retrospective-cross-sectional-observational descriptive quantitative study. We analyzed the medical records of 594 women treated at the Women Hospital and Maternity “Mãe Luzia” – WHML in Macapá – AP aged 18 years or older, with complaints of urinary incontinence and who underwent urodynamic examination without any Other associated conditions. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-squared test, Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis test. Values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. The research received authorization from the Ethics and Research Committee of the Federal University of Amapá (FR 347446/011). Results: 49.49% presented clinical complaints. Of those, 13.9% were compatible with Overactive Bladder (OAB), 11.2% with Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and 74.8% with Mixed Urinary Incontinence (MUI). 50.5% were diagnosed by urodynamics, being 0.7% normal, 15.7% OAB, 14% SUI and 69.7% MUI. 45.2% of SUI and 46.4% of MUI were concentrated in pressure loss of up to 60cmH2O. As for age, 27.7% of those with OAB were between 31-40 years old, while 38.8% with MUI 41-50 years and 28.6% with SUI 51-60. The percentagem of women who had a clinical complaint and a corresponding urodynamic finding was Only 1.7% for SUI, 52.3% for MUI and 5.7% for OAB among those evaluated. Thus, urodynmics for SUI had a sensitivity of 89.1%, specificity of 11.9%, PPV of 86.1%, NPV of 15.2%, and accuracy of 78.3%, for BH it had a senstivity of 90.5%, specificity of 36.2%, PPV of 88.4%, NPV of 41.5%, and accuracy of 82% and for IUM it has a sensitivity of 30.8% and a specificity of 75.1%, leading to a PPV of 35.0% and a NPV of 71.4%, and therefore with an accuracy of 61.7%. Conclusion: Correspondence between clinical complaint and urodynamic study was low. Further studies are still needed in this regard for a final conclusion on the effectiveness of the urodynamic test for the diagnosis of UI.
Effect of Maturity Indices on Quality, Storability and Seedling Performance of Prinsepia utilis Royle (Bhekal) Seed
Authors: Kumar Prabal , Kumar Devendra , Singh Sanjay
Published: May 2022

Background: Prinsepia utilis Royle is a wild woody oil yielding shrub of Rosaceae, commonly known as bhekal. Plant whole parts are all precious; their root, stem, leaf, fruit, and seed oil are used as medicine. Its tender stems, leaf and fibrous root decoction, are used in toothache and throat inflammation. Besides all this, the plant is also commonly used as bio-fence, apple grafting, a substitute for soap and cosmetics, and performing different ritualistic/holistic practices. Material and methods: The fruits were collected from Chakrata forest Division (Uttarakhand), India, in mid-May 2017. Fruits are collected directly from branches and separated according to their color into three sub-lots, i.e., green, purple-green and violet. Seeds were tested under controlled conditions for their viability and vigour at different storage intervals viz 0 days (fresh), 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days. In the nursery, seeds were sown as fresh 0 and 30 days after collection to see the storage effect on seedling performance. Seeds were sown in four replications of 100 seeds of each lot in a nursery bed prepared with compost, sand, and soil (1:1:1). Results: Fresh seeds obtained from violet fruit showed 94.50% germination, followed by purple-green and green fruit with 90.25 and 77.75%, respectively. The germination declined during storage in all types of fruit colors. It is evident from the survival curve that violet fruit retained a maximum period of mean viability (P50) (71 days) as compared to purple-green fruits (59 days) and green fruit (42 days). The violet exhibited a higher mean germination percentage (50.88) after 150 days of storage period as compared to purple-green fruit (44.17) and green fruit (26.75). The seedling performance was significantly affected by fruit colors. The violet seeds significantly exhibited good values of as compared to green and purple, green seeds. Conclusion: Seeds obtained from violet fruits may be preferred for longer storage of seeds and remaining fruit seed color should be avoided for storage purposes.

The successful implementation of green banking initiatives depends upon the awareness regarding the green banking initiatives. The present study is an attempt to take review of customer awareness towards green banking initiatives undertaken by the State Bank of India in Western Maharashtra. The study is explorative and mainly based on primary data collected with the help of structured questionnaire. The study is restricted to the State Bank of India. The 30 branches of SBI from the four districts – Kolhapur, Satara, Sangali and Solapur were selected for the study. 10 customers from each selected branch of the SBI were contacted and the necessary data was collected. The data collected was analyzed using the appropriate statistical tools. While analyzing the customer awareness the influence of the factors like gender, age, education, occupation etc. were taken into consideration. It is revealed from the study that nearly 32 percent of bank customers’ in the study area are aware about all 14 initiatives undertaken by the SBI. Based on this study it is suggested that the banks have to utilize all available options for creating awareness among customers regarding green banking initiatives.

Published: May 2022

Due to their ease of application to the skin and removal, creams have long been an important aspect of cosmetic products as topical preparations. Herbal medicine, often known as herbalism or botanical medicine, is the practise of using plants for therapeutic or medical purposes. Herbal cosmetics are beauty products that contain herbal elements that have desirable activity such as skin healing, smoothing, and appearance, enhancing, and conditioning characteristics. Aloe vera, often known as Barbados or Curacao Aloe, is an herbal remedy that has been used by a variety of cultures for centuries. Nowadays, finding an Aloe vera-containing product at a neighbourhood drugstore is simple. It's used in a variety of healthcare items, including lotions, creams, ointments, and dietary supplements. Millions of individuals have taken aloe vera without incident, and it is used in more cosmetic goods than any other botanical. This project involves the manufacture and testing of an herbal multipurpose aloe vera cream. Because aloe vera is anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial, it is suggested by dermatologists for the treatment of skin rashes.

Attendances are taken in every school and college. The convention attendance system consists of registers marked by teachers which may lead to human error and a lot of maintenance. The system proposed in this study is to deviate from such a traditional system and introduce a new approach to taking attendance using image processing. The system uses a Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HOG) and python libraries such as OpenCV, Dlib, and NumPy. As a human, the brain automatically recognizes a face instantly, but the computer is not capable of this high-level generalization. The system automatically starts taking snaps and then applies face detection and recognition technique to the given image the recognized students are marked as present and their attendance is updated with the corresponding time[2]. The working of the system is that it first looks at a picture and finds all the faces in it. second, it focuses on each face and can understand that even if a face is directed in a weird direction or under bad lighting. Third, the system comes up with 68 specific points called landmarks, that exist on every face example the top of the chin, the inner edge of each eyebrow, etc., and then picks out unique features of the face that can be used to tell it apart from other people. Finally, compare the unique features of that face to those already determined faces. Then the person can clock in into the system after the person clocks out, the system automatically transfers the data into an excel sheet.

Seismic Stability and Liquefaction Analysis of Tailings Slope
Authors: Ramazan Borujerdi Ali
Published: May 2022

The potential for liquefaction and slope stability of a thickened tailings slope, within a storage facility located on the shore of a natural glacial lake in Tehran, is evaluated based on field and laboratory testing. The tailings slope has the particularities of being located in a high seismicity area and founded on conventional slurry tailings from the previous operation of the facility. The in-situ state of the thickened tailings was investigated through field tests, including Standard Penetration Tests (SPT) and Cone Penetration Tests with pore pressure measurement (CPTu). Samples collected during the field investigation were used in an extensive geotechnical laboratory program to determine index properties and strength parameters for the thickened tailings. Testing included a series of isotropically consolidated undrained and drained (CIU and CID) triaxial tests, as well as a simulation of the consolidation process within the tailings through oedometer tests. The liquefaction potential was evaluated using the data from the CPTu testing, while slope stability was assessed using the limit equilibrium approach for an infinite slope, considering the variation of shear strength with the degree of consolidation (void ratio) of the tailings from a critical state approach. Based on the results of the liquefaction potential and the slope stability assessment, a design approach is suggested for facilities under similar conditions.

Published: May 2022

We are aiming to evaluate the impact of the tax burden on economic growth in the EU 28 and also the lagging impact of the tax burden. The analysis is based on the multivariate regression model in the general country group as well as in the group of less developed countries of the EU, assessing the possible differences. The research results confirm the differences in impact in the analyzed country groups – the higher impact of the tax burden on the economic growth is identified in the group of less developed countries compared with the general group of the 28 EU countries.
UKRAINE ON THE EUROPEAN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS MARKET: THE EXTRA-EU TRADE ISSUES
Authors: Kiforenko Oksana
Published: May 2022

Trade plays a vitally important role in the provision of livelihoods for farmers and people employed in the spheres connected with the food supply chain. It also contributes to the insurance of food security across the globe and provides greater choice in goods for consumers. The data under analysis are the food, drinks and tobacco (SITC 0+1) exports amounts of Ukraine to the EU and of the EU to China. The timeframe under research is nine years – from 2011 till 2019 included. The purpose of the research is to analyse whether the agricultural products exports of Ukraine to the EU are correlated with the said exports of the EU to China and if they are, how strong the correlation is. The research is conducted using such statistic tools as the univariate analysis, the normality distribution analysis, the comparative analysis, the Pearson correlation and Spearman correlation coefficients, judging by the data scales and distributions. According to the research results, the agricultural products exports of the EU to China are approximately three times bigger than those of Ukraine to the EU. Judging by the calculated Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients of the agricultural products exports from Ukraine to the EU and from the EU to China and their p-values, the H0 hypothesis of zero correlation between the said exports can be rejected.
A Young, Low-density Stellar Stream in the Milky Way Disk: Theia 456

Published: May 2022

Our view of the variety of stellar structures pervading the local Milky Way has been transformed by the application of clustering algorithms to the Gaia catalog. In particular, several stellar streams have been recently discovered that are comprised of hundreds to thousands of stars and span several hundred parsecs. We analyze one such structure, Theia 456, a low-density stellar stream extending nearly 200 pc and 20° across the sky. By supplementing Gaia astrometric data with spectroscopic metallicities from Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope and photometric rotation periods from the Zwicky Transient Facility and the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, we establish Theia 456's radial velocity coherence, and we find strong evidence that members of Theia 456 have a common age (≃175 Myr), common dynamical origin, and formed from chemically homogeneous prestellar material ([Fe/H] = −0.07 dex). Unlike well-known stellar streams in the Milky Way, which are in its halo, Theia 456 is firmly part of the thin disk. If our conclusions about Theia 456 can be applied to even a small fraction of the remaining ≃8300 independent structures in the Theia catalog, such low-density stellar streams may be ubiquitous. We comment on the implications this has for the nature of star formation throughout the Galaxy.

The size of a disk encodes important information about its evolution. Combining new Submillimeter Array observations with archival Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array data, we analyze millimeter continuum and CO emission line sizes for a sample of 44 protoplanetary disks around stars with masses of 0.15–2 M
⊙ in several nearby star-forming regions. Sizes measured from 12CO line emission span from 50 to 1000 au. This range could be explained by viscous evolution models with different α values (mostly of 10−4–10−3) and/or a spread of initial conditions. The CO sizes for most disks are also consistent with MHD wind models that directly remove disk angular momentum, but very large initial disk sizes would be required to account for the very extended CO disks in the sample. As no CO size evolution is observed across stellar ages of 0.5–20 Myr in this sample, determining the dominant mechanism of disk evolution will require a more complete sample for both younger and more evolved systems. We find that the CO emission is universally more extended than the continuum emission by an average factor of 2.9 ± 1.2. The ratio of the CO to continuum sizes does not show any trend with stellar mass, millimeter continuum luminosity, or the properties of substructures. The GO Tau disk has the most extended CO emission in this sample, with an extreme CO-to-continuum size ratio of 7.6. Seven additional disks in the sample show high size ratios (≳4) that we interpret as clear signs of substantial radial drift.
OSSOS XXV: Large Populations and Scattering–Sticking in the Distant Trans-Neptunian Resonances

There have been 77 TNOs discovered to be librating in the distant trans-Neptunian resonances (beyond the 2:1 resonance, at semimajor axes greater than 47.7 au) in four well-characterized surveys: the Outer Solar System Origins Survey (OSSOS) and three similar prior surveys. Here, we use the OSSOS Survey Simulator to measure their intrinsic orbital distributions using an empirical parameterized model. Because many of the resonances had only one or very few detections, j:k resonant objects were grouped by k in order to have a better basis for comparison between models and reality. We also use the Survey Simulator to constrain their absolute populations, finding that they are much larger than predicted by any published Neptune migration model to date; we also find population ratios that are inconsistent with published models, presenting a challenge for future Kuiper Belt emplacement models. The estimated population ratios between these resonances are largely consistent with scattering–sticking predictions, though further discoveries of resonant TNOs with high-precision orbits will be needed to determine whether scattering–sticking can explain the entire distant resonant population or not.

This data paper describes a recent and spatially complete inventory of the terrestrial isopods of Belgium between 2011 and 2020. During these 10 years every 10 × 10 km² cell of the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid in Belgium (373 grid cells) was visited in search for terrestrial isopods. Inventories covered different habitat types in every grid cell such as forest, wetlands or stream sides, and urban areas. Most of the dataset records were obtained by hand-collection methods such as turning stones and dead wood, or by sieving litter and through casual observations. These inventories were carried out by specialists from Spinicornis, the Belgian Terrestrial Isopod Group. Their data is complemented with pitfall trap data from scientific projects and verified citizen science data collected via waarnemingen.be and observations.be from the same time period. This resulted in 19,406 dataset records of 35 terrestrial isopod species. All dataset records are georeferenced using the centroid of their respective 5 × 5 km² UTM grid cell. The dataset is published as open data and available through the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Direct link to the dataset: https://doi.org/10.15468/mw9c66.
Avoidance behaviour toxicity tests should account for animal gregariousness: a case study on the terrestrial isopod Porcellio scaber
Authors: Zidar Primož , Fišer Žiga
Published: May 2022

Avoidance behaviour enables woodlice to escape suboptimal environmental conditions and to mitigate harmful effects of pollutants. However, several studies have shown that at least in some woodlice species the tendency to aggregate can lead to suboptimal responses as the between-conspecific attraction can outweigh the aversive stimuli. The present study evaluated the influence of gregariousness on the behaviour of Porcellio scaber in a heterogeneously polluted environment. The hypothesis was that the tendency for aggregation outweighs the tendency for exploratory activity, therefore animals in groups will be less active. Consequently, this will affect their avoidance of polluted environmental patches. To test this hypothesis, isolated individuals or pairs of individuals were monitored in free-choice arenas where animals could select between uncontaminated and pyrethrin-contaminated soils. Animals were video recorded for 3 h in darkness using infrared light and analysed for avoidance behaviour and locomotor activity. In general, isolated animals were more locomotory active and avoided the contaminated soil more than paired animals. It can be concluded that aggregation behaviour suppresses exploratory behaviour and consequently also the avoidance of polluted environments. This should be accounted for when interpreting results of avoidance tests with groups of gregarious animals, which may underestimate the effect of pollutants.

Incidence and prevalence of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis among Korean women of childbearing age: a nationwide population-based study
Authors: Chung Min Kyung , Lee Chan Hee , Park Jin Su , Lim Hyun Sun , Lee Jisoo
Published: May 2022

Background/Aims: Women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are often diagnosed with the disease during their reproductive years; however, its incidence and prevalence among women of childbearing age have not been studied. The objective of this study was to estimate the incidence and prevalence of seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (SPRA) among Korean women of childbearing age.Methods: Women aged 20 to 44 years with SPRA were identified from National Health Insurance Service-National Health Information Database (2009 to 2016). SPRA was defined by International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision code, M05. Incidence and prevalence were calculated per 100,000 person-years and stratified by year and age.Results: The average incidence and prevalence of SPRA from 2011 to 2016 among women of childbearing age was 24.1/100,000 person-years (95% confidence interval [CI], 23.7 to 24.5) and 105.2/100,000 person-years (95% CI, 100.9 to 109.5), respectively. The incidence increased annually from 21.0/100,000 person-years (95% CI, 20.1 to 21.9) in 2009 to 28.4 person-years (95% CI, 27.3 to 29.5) in 2016. Similarly, the prevalence increased annually from 95.7/100,000 person-years (95% CI, 93.7 to 97.6) in 2009 to 111.0 person-years (95% CI, 108.9 to 113.2) in 2015, with a slight decrease in 2016 (110.4 person-years; 95% CI, 108.2 to 112.6). The incidence and prevalence of SPRA increased with advancing age. The peak age for both incidence and prevalence of SPRA among women of childbearing age was 40 to 44 years.Conclusions: The risk of SPRA is high in women during their childbearing years; this population bears a significant disease burden. This calls for special attention to this particular population group to reduce the risk and burden of this disease.
La forme logique de la vie
Authors: Laugier Sandra
Published: May 2022

Résumé Les discussions contemporaines du concept fécond de forme de vie ont permis de mettre en évidence à quel point le concept de forme lui-même est essentiel chez Wittgenstein, structurant la continuité entre le premier et le second Wittgenstein. En passant de la « forme logique » au concept de forme de vie, Wittgenstein entend renoncer à une unité « de forme » pour passer à une « famille » de structures apparentées. Mais la logique ne disparaît pas – au contraire. Le point sur lequel s’appuie sa recherche reste bien la forme, entendue désormais comme pluralité de façons pour le langage de décrire le réel. Il importe donc de comprendre le concept de forme (de vie), Lebensform , non seulement comme une alternative au concept de règle, mais comme expression d’une nouvelle entente de la forme.
À l’ombre du droit commun, les expulsions des foyers
Authors: François Camille
Published: May 2022

La transformation juridique des foyers en résidences sociales n’a pas été de pair avec une remise en cause du statut, depuis longtemps contesté, de « résident » ni des pratiques spécifiques appliquées à l’égard de leurs habitants par les institutions en charge des procédures d’expulsion locative. Dans ce cadre, les résidents continuent de connaître un traitement à part et défavorable qui, à l’ombre du droit commun, ne prend pas la même forme en justice et en préfecture. Décryptage des logiques institutionnelles qui sous-tendent ces trajectoires de délogement.
La loi santé à l’épreuve de la justice et de la liberté religieuse
Authors: Deysine Anne
Published: May 2022

L’article montre que le recours au juge et au contentieux est un mode normalisé de fonctionnement permettant au perdant, dans le champ électoral ou législatif, de continuer le combat politique sur le front juridictionnel. À travers différentes affaires dans lesquelles les Républicains ont contesté la constitutionnalité ou la légalité d’une disposition de la loi d’assurance santé Affordable Care Act (ACA), sont mis en avant la diversité des moyens invoqués et le rôle des pétitions (amici curiae). Celles-ci sont rédigées par des groupes qui ne sont pas parties au contentieux mais estiment essentiel de faire connaître leur position aux juges afin de peser sur l’issue de l’affaire. Il apparaît que la Cour suprême laisse une large place aux préférences idéologiques lorsqu’elle interprète la loi, la Constitution ou les règles de recevabilité, notamment en matière de liberté religieuse. En conséquence, chaque nomination est un enjeu crucial pour l’orientation future du droit et du pays, ce qui explique que le processus de nomination est passé de politique – ce qu’il a toujours été – à partisan.
La rénovation (réellement) performante : réconcilier sortie de la précarité énergétique et lutte contre les changements climatiques
Authors: Legrand Vincent
Published: May 2022

La rénovation réellement performante, qui est aujourd’hui marginale, est la seule voie qui permette à la fois d’atteindre les objectifs de performance du parc national de logements et de proposer aux ménages un montage financier « équilibré en trésorerie » : elle permet de transformer les économies réalisées sur les dépenses annuelles de « consommables » (chauffage) en liquidités permettant, pour un montant équivalent, le remboursement de l’investissement réalisé (les mensualités des prêts travaux). Le ménage bénéficie ainsi d’un logement confortable, sain et revalorisé, sans perdre de pouvoir d’achat. La massification de cette rénovation requiert un écosystème basé sur des tiers de confiance techniques (opérateurs de travaux), financiers et de proximité (accompagnement). Réorienter vers des rénovations performantes des fonds publics qui sont aujourd’hui dispersés en « gestes » inefficaces permettra, outre une réduction forte de nos consommations, de créer plusieurs centaines de milliers d’emplois locaux et de sortir massivement de la précarité énergétique, tout en luttant efficacement pour le climat – c’est un projet industriel gagnant-gagnant pour la France.
L’innovation dans la rénovation des bâtiments, un élément clé de la transition écologique

Published: May 2022

Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons à l’innovation dans la rénovation profonde des bâtiments, qui est la seule à permettre d’atteindre les objectifs européens pour le climat. L’innovation porte sur les approches économiques et la création de valeur. La rénovation profonde nécessite la mise en œuvre de systèmes techniques qui concernent simultanément l’enveloppe, les matériaux et l’énergie. Les ressources et les compétences nécessaires doivent être, elles aussi, abordées sous l’angle de cette même approche système. Le soutien au système d’innovation territorial va permettre d’abaisser globalement le coût de la rénovation.
ISUPFERE : une formation Ingénieur en énergétique des Mines de Paris en prise directe avec les enjeux de la rénovation des bâtiments
Authors: Stabat Pascal
Published: May 2022

Dans cet article, nous montrons l’originalité et les atouts des formations Ingénieur en apprentissage, à l’exemple du diplôme d’ingénieur en énergétique en apprentissage de l’École des mines de Paris qui est présenté ici. L’alternance entre l’école et l’entreprise est le meilleur moyen de concilier théorie et pratique. Quatre témoignages d’apprentis montrent qu’ils sont déjà des acteurs de la transition énergétique, bien qu’ils soient toujours en formation. Les formations Ingénieur en apprentissage sont appréciées par les entreprises et les jeunes. Cependant, après un fort développement entre 2006 et 2014, avec une progression de 135,4 %, le nombre de ces apprentis tend à stagner. Il n’en demeure pas moins qu’aujourd’hui, 14 % des ingénieurs formés en France passent par la voie de l’apprentissage, ce qui permet de diversifier les profils des ingénieurs. Des profils qui répondent aux besoins des entreprises de recruter des ingénieurs spécialisés justifiant d’une bonne maîtrise technique. Enfin, l’apprentissage Ingénieur est un moyen d’ouverture sociale en permettant à des jeunes d’accéder aux études supérieures.
L’aide humanitaire au Tchad : une ressource pour l’enclavement des réfugiés dans des camps ?
Authors: Chauvin Emmanuel
Published: May 2022

Goutte d’eau dans l’économie mondiale, l’aide humanitaire est une ressource dans divers pays en développement. Les bailleurs de fonds la produisent, les États la contrôlent, les organisations humanitaires l’acheminent et la distribuent, les bénéficiaires la consomment et la commercialisent. Ce chapitre porte sur l’une des branches située en aval de cette « filière » : l’aide humanitaire destinée aux réfugiés de Centrafrique et installés dans des camps au Tchad (Goré, Maro et Haraze-Mangueigne). Ces camps sont enclavés : distants de Ndjaména, situés dans une périphérie au sud du Tchad comme au Salamat, éloignés des villes, routes et marchés à l’échelle locale. Quels liens existent entre la ressource humanitaire et l’enclavement des camps de réfugiés ? Cet enclavement contraint l’acheminement des marchandises et les mobilités du personnel des agences d’aide. En alimentant une oasis de prospérité relative, l’aide humanitaire sert de ressource politique à l’État tchadien pour contrôler, fixer et isoler les réfugiés, dans un contexte d’insécurité transfrontalière. Toutefois, à un niveau local, l’aide humanitaire sert de ressource économique aux réfugiés pour créer des revenus, alimentant des circulations entre les camps, les marchés et la Centrafrique. Ambiguë, la ressource humanitaire favorise donc l’enclavement des réfugiés, participe à les relier au monde, tout en étant détournée par les migrants forcés pour dépasser leur isolement.
Sécuriser ses ressources en mobilisant des argumentaires spatiaux : logiques d’adaptation sociopolitique des transnationales du bois en Uruguay et au Brésil entre 1990 et 2010
Authors: Gautreau Pierre
Published: May 2022

Comprendre les discours des très grandes entreprises d’exploitation des ressources naturelles relatifs à l’espace géographique permet de décrire les processus historiques de leur adaptation à des territoires dont elles contribuent à bouleverser la structure et l’économie. On décrit ici le répertoire des argumentaires à dimension spatiale mobilisés par le secteur du bois – sylviculture et transformation manufacturière – dans deux pays du Cône sud-américain, et on interroge leurs fonctions dans sa stratégie à long terme, en termes de contrôle des ressources foncières. À partir des années 1990, une région quasiment dépourvue de tradition sylvicole s’est dotée de millions d’hectares de plantations à croissance rapide (eucalyptus), et s’y est formé un secteur organisé autour des plus grandes transnationales mondiales. À la fin des années 2010, la concomitance de la crise financière internationale et de la concurrence foncière croissante liée à l’expansion agricole au niveau régional impose des contraintes nouvelles à la croissance du secteur. Pour s’adapter, celui-ci déploie un ensemble d’actions visant à sécuriser et pérenniser politiquement ses plantations, en désamorçant les oppositions potentielles et en enrôlant les sources de financement des investissements, notamment par des discours imposant une vision particulière du partage des ressources foncières nationales.

Published: May 2022

Le gaz naturel est une ressource stratégique pour la Fédération de Russie, qui se place parmi les premiers producteurs et exportateurs mondiaux. Des enjeux économiques, sociaux, politiques et stratégiques gravitent autour de cette ressource et se traduisent notamment par la mise en œuvre d’un programme de développement du réseau de transport et de distribution du gaz naturel, élaboré et réalisé par la compagnie Gazprom. Ce programme, malgré les différents objectifs qu’il se donne et sa dimension sociale affichée, émane avant tout du centre et reflète les intérêts de Gazprom et de l’État fédéral russe. Il s’agira de montrer que la ressource gaz naturel dépend étroitement de la mise en place d’un système de transport, celui-ci permettant sa mise en valeur industrielle et sa consommation, donc son passage du statut de réserve à celui de ressource. Le réseau gazier, au cœur de projets de reconfiguration de l’espace russe, apparaît comme un instrument de contrôle. Comment la forme spatiale du réseau révèle-t-elle et conditionne-t-elle le statut de la ressource gaz naturel ?
La carte avant les cartographes
Authors: Verdier Nicolas
Published: May 2022

Plus qu’un livre sur la production ou sur la circulation des cartes, cet ouvrage étudie la diffusion de la culture cartographique dans la France du XVIIIe siècle, qui modifie profondément le rapport des acteurs aux territoires. Il s’agit de comprendre comment une pensée de l’espace se met en place, en partie grâce à la carte, à l’époque des Lumières – avec des conséquences jusqu’à nos jours.
L’ouvrage dépasse ici le postulat classique d’une évidente diffusion de la carte aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Pour en mettre en exergue les chronologies, l’enquête passe tant par l’analyse d’indices techniques que par celle des discours sur la carte. Les conséquences de cette diffusion apparaissent tant dans les mutations de la géographie que dans la transformation de quelques professions ; c’est d’abord le cas des commissaires à terriers. Le mouvement est européen, mais la France connaît des temporalités spécifiques qui aboutissent à la mise en place des ingénieurs du cadastre lors de la Révolution. Les professions d’ingénieurs du génie, comme celles d’ingénieurs des ponts s’institutionnalisent grâce à l’usage de la carte, qui devient l’un des éléments clés de leur identité corporative, tout autant qu’un outil indispensable de leur action.
Chapitre 3. Sexage des éléments musicaux, théorie genrée
Authors: Legrand Raphaëlle
Published: May 2022

Entre 1722 et 1763, Jean-Philippe Rameau produit un grand nombre de textes théoriques de statuts très divers. Les fondements de son système apparaissent d’une remarquable stabilité mais les justifications qu’il trouve à sa théorie évoluent durant ces quatre décennies. Rameau reste soucieux de se fonder sur une approche mathématique, puis physique du son. Les métaphores genrées se font cependant de plus en plus présentes dans ses textes, pour occuper dans ses derniers ouvrages une place non négligeable.Si l’on étudie ce « sexage » (assignation d’un sexe) ramiste des éléments musicaux (mélodie, cadences, modes, degrés, modulations, mais également la construction du genre de l’analyse et de l’analyste abstrait qui la produit), on constate un mélange d’éléments non marqués et d’autres dont le sexage est souvent sous-entendu mais réel. Fondée sur une valence différentielle des éléments de la musique, regroupés en couples inégalitaires (majeur/mineur, dominante/sous-dominante, dièse/bémol, accord de septième de dominante/accord de sixte ajoutée, cadence parfaite/cadence irrégulière, etc.), la théorie de Rameau annonce et prépare les métaphores genrées essentialisantes du xixe siècle.

Pulmonary Function Study bcfore and after Surgery
Authors: Klm Pyoung Kl , Yoo Hwae Sung
Published: May 2022

Eightyfour of operated cases were examined by spirometry and bronchospirometry before and after operation, among which 24 was T.P. and the rest was resection of various extent. Results were obtained as was described above. There was about 10-29% of reduction of total V.C. and M.B.C. in T.P. without close relation to the stage done but in resection, there are some differences with the extent of resection. Segmental resection(1-2seg. mostly 1seg.) seems to be slightly better than in T.P. generally though no marked difference is noticed. Lobectomy showed about same reduction as T.P. but lobectomy with other procedures showed more reduction than T.P. in both V.C. and MBC. Timed V.C. has not been interfered by any kind of surgery, and the majority of resection cases showed improvement instead of loss. Most of the destroyed lung cases who underwent pneumonectomy showed relatively small reduction or no change in V.C. but in scattered lesion cases brought quite big reduction.
Clinical Study of Acute Renal Insufficiency after Pulmonary Resection
Authors: Kim Chon Hyun
Published: May 2022

Since Korea War the acute renal insufficiency has been closed up as an important complication in surgery and caused to death. 5 cases of postoperative acute renal insufficiency, of which 3 were dead and 2 were alive, were presented. The author noticed that the acute renal insufficiencies were caused by the overloading of blood transfusion in order to rise the postoperative fall of blood pressure and even the renal toxin due to PAS in the cases of long history of pulmonary tuberculosis. Brief summary of their clinical features and management was described.
INH-PAS in the Trestment of Amburatory Cases of Pulmonary Tuberculosis (T.I.D Regimen vs B.I.D. Regimen)

Published: May 2022

It is estimated that there are approximately 800,000 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and less than 4,000 sanatorium beds in Korea. Therefore, majority of patients remain at home and get chemotherapy on an ambulatory base. The conventional chemotherapy, INH(300mg)-PAS(10gm) in three divided doses, is not convenient for ambulatory cases particularly, those who have job. They do not like to take drugs in public and usually omit the second dose of drugs. Recently, some observations indicated that the better therapeutic results were associated with the higher peak serum concentrations rather than low sustained levels were maintained. It is also indicated that 6-10gm of daily PAS would be sufficient when combined with INH. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical efficacies between the cases treated with INH(300mg)-PAS(10gm) in three divided doses and cases treated with INH(400mg)-PAS(8gm) in two divided doses.

In Korea where the number of tuberculosis patients is increasing every year, a great and immediate attention should be directed how to find the best and most effective way of controlling and handle tuberculosis problem.A big problem still remains how to handle tuberculosis infection caused by the open cases who can not be at lack of the adequate beds. Moreover. the appearance present confined in sanatoria due to of mutant bacilli produce in the course of using antituberculous drugs. presents a great menace to the newly infected patients.Experimental studies were carried out to observe the Physico-chemical resistance of INH resistant BCG and Reveal tubercle bacilli. 1. INH-resistant Ravenal strains show ed apparent decrease in the resistance to various physicochemical agents. 2. Apparent difference has not been noted in Physico-chemical resistance between avirulent BCG strains and virulent Ravenal strains; and the higher the drug-resistance, the weaker the Physico-chemical resistance. 3. The comparative observations among SM. PAS. And INH -resistant tubercle bacilli to physicochemical agents were made; INH-resistant strains were weakest.
BACTERIOLOGLAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE TUBERCULOUS CAVITY
Authors: Chang Pyoung Ha
Published: May 2022

The tuberculous cavities in 126 resected specimens were first studied as to the presence and culturability of tubercle bacilli and a search was made 159 histological specimens of cavity walls, for the presence of bacilli, the results may be briefly summarized as follows: 1. In 114 specimens with tuberculous cavities, tubercle bacilli were found by smear in 82%, and on culture in 67% even in these cases with negative sputum prior to the resections bacilli were found 50% by smear and 16% by culture. 2. Tubercle bacilli were cultured in 75% of necrotic wall cavities and in 21% of the filled-in cavities these findings were not directly related to length of preoperative chemotherapy. 3. Of 33 filled-in cavities, tubercle bacilli, were found by smear in 43% and were not culturable. 4. Tubercle bacilli were positive in 65% of cavity walls examined and 86% of these showed the granulomatous type of cavity wall. 5. Positive findings were high in specimens taken from patients who had positive sputum on smear prior to the resections, and even in the cases with negative sputum both on smear and culture tubercle bacilli were found in the histological specimens of cavity wall in 9%.

Published: May 2022

1. Of 405 cases, in which sensitivity tests were performed, the majority belonged to the second and third decades of life. Most of the cases had a history of more than one year and nearly 99% were moderately or far advanced cases. 2. IN patients with history of present diseases for more than 1 year 32% were sensitive and 18% were resistant to all 3 main drugs. In patients with history of present diseases less than 6 months 65% were sensitive and 7% were resistant to all 3 main drugs. 3. Regularly treated patients showed more sensitive and less resistant cases than irregularly treated patients. 4. The greater the size and numbers of cavities the more number of resistant cases were observed. 5. Among patients, sensitive to the 3 main drugs 25% moderately advanced and 47% far advanced had persistent positive sputum. Among patients resistant to all 3 main drugs about 50% had persistent positive sputum, but ad considerable number of cases converted to negative within 6 months of therapy. Sputum conversion to negative after more than one years treatment was extremely rare regardless of their sensitivity results. 6. Many of the cases sensitive to the 3 main drugs, even moderate or far advanced, showed marked improvement on X-Ray. The groups resistant for 2 or all 3 drugs had a few deteriorations, but a considerable number of them had moderate and marked improvement on X-Ray.
