1830 : La Liberté guidant le peuple de Delacroix, Heine, le philhellénisme et l’Antiquité
Authors: Calvié Lucien
Published: October 2021

Quel lien peut-il y avoir entre La Liberté guidant le peuple de Delacroix, liée au présent de juillet 1830, et l’Antiquité ? Heine et Delacroix, « enfants du siècle » nés en 1797 et 1798 et apparentés par le « génie » et la napoléonophilie, trouvent dans un « grand classicisme » universel, d’Homère à Goethe, au-delà des oppositions d’écoles, la référence à une Antiquité vivante et tangible, jusqu’au Maroc éclatant de lumière et de sensualité de Delacroix en 1832. Examinés à la double lumière du vaste philhellénisme européen des années 1820, lui-même lié à la connaissance et aux mythes de la Grèce antique, et, pour Heine du moins, de la philosophie hégélienne et d’un saint-simonisme assimilé à une reviviscence d’un panthéisme supposé antique, les nombreux points de rencontre entre Delacroix et Heine font apparaître l’importance de l’idée de liberté se réalisant dans l’histoire, de la Grèce antique à l’actualité la plus immédiate.

Objective: This study intends to investigate the prognostic risk factors of bloodstream infection in Beijing. Methods: This study is a clinical retrospective study. Patients with community-onset bloodstream infections (COBSI) who were admitted to the emergency department and inpatient department of Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 1,2015 to December 31,2019 were selected as the main research objects. According to whether the patient survives for 100 days or not, the patients are divided into survival group and death group. By analyzing the clinical data of the two groups of patients, the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, bacterial resistance and risk factors affecting the prognosis of the patients were analyzed. Results: A total of 446 patients with COBSI diagnosed by blood culture were included in this study, including 252 men and 194 women. According to 100-day survival or not, patients were divided into survival group and death group, of which 363 cases were in the survival group and 83 cases were in the death group. The results of this study show that solid tumors, combined septic shock, indwelling catheters and hemodialysis treatment are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of COBSI patients. Reasonable initial antibiotic therapy is a protective factor affecting the prognosis of COBSI patients. Conclusion: Solid tumors, combined septic shock, indwelling catheters, hemodialysis treatment, Charlson score, APACHE II score and PITT score are independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of COBSI patients in Beijing, the capital of China, and reasonable initial antibiotic therapy is a protective factor affecting the prognosis of COBSI patients.

Background: Patients with transfusion-dependent thalassemia (TDT) risk iron overload and require iron chelation therapy. Salvage therapy is warranted for patients demonstrating poor chelation responses.

Patients and methods: We retrospectively studied the serum-ferritin (SF) and liver-iron-concentration (LIC) outcomes of patients with TDT treated with twice-daily dosing of deferasirox (TDD-DFX) for > 24 months, after failing to respond to once-daily deferasirox (OD-DFX).

Results: We enrolled 22 patients (14 males and 8 females; median age, 9.2 [3–15.5] years). The median erythron transfusion was 216 (206–277) ml/kg/year. The median TDD-DFX treatment period was 30 (24–35) months. Before initiating TDD-DFX, the median SF level was 2,486 (1,562–8,183) ng/ml, while the median LIC was 6.5 (3.2–19) mg/g dry wt. There were 18 responders (81.8%) and 4 nonresponders. The median SF-level change was -724 (-4 916 to 1,490) ng/mL. The median LIC change was -2.14 (-13.7 to 6.8) mg/g dry wt. The 1-year and end-of-study SF levels and LICs were statistically significant (SF, P = 0.006/0.005; and LIC, 0.006/0.005, respectively). There were no treatment interruptions secondary to adverse events. In the follow-up of the TDD-DFX-responder group, 11 of the 18 had a reduced dose, whereas the remaining 7 continued with the same dose.

Conclusions: TDD-DFX appears to be an alternative treatment approach for patients refractory to OD-DFX, with a favorable long-term safety profile. Further studies with larger groups and pharmacogenetic analyses of inadequate responders are warranted to better determine the efficacy and safety profile of TDD-DFX.
GASTROINTESTINAL MYELOID SARCOMA A CASE PRESENTATION AND CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
Authors: Kheirkhah Pouyan , Avila-Rodriguez Ana M. , Radzik Bartlomiej , Murga-Zamalloa Carlos
Published: October 2021

Myeloid sarcomas can be detected in up to 30% of acute myeloid leukemia cases or occur de-novo without bone marrow involvement. The most frequent localization of myeloid sarcomas in the abdominal cavity is the small intestine, and gastric presentations are infrequent, frequently misdiagnosed, and a high level of suspicion should exist when the characteristic histomorphology features are present. The current review features a case report with gastric presentation of myeloid sarcoma in a patient with a diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia with trisomy 8. In addition, a review of the literature of intestinal type myeloid sarcomas shows that less than 15% of these cases have been reported in the stomach. The most common molecular aberrancy detected in intestinal myeloid sarcomas is the fusion protein CBFB-MYH11. Review of several large studies demonstrates that the presence of myeloid sarcoma does not constitute an independent prognostic factor. The therapeutic approach will be tailored to the specific genetic abnormalities present, and systemic chemotherapy with hematopoietic stem cell transplant are the most efficient strategies.

Published: October 2021

Systemic mastocytosis (SM) is a heterogeneous group of diseases that affect almost exclusively adults and are defined by the proliferation and accumulation of clonal mast cells (MC) in various tissues. Disease subtypes range from indolent to rare but aggressive forms. Although SM is classified as a rare disease, it is believed to be likely underdiagnosed.  Major signs and symptoms mainly depend on MC activation and less frequently to organ infiltration, typical of more aggressive variants. Diagnosis may be challenging, and symptoms can be aspecific and involve several organs. It is advisable to refer patients to specialized centers, having sufficient knowledge of the disease, sensitive diagnostic procedures, offering a personalized and multidisciplinary diagnostic approach, including at least hematological, allergological, dermatological and rheumatological evaluations. A precise and timely diagnosis is required for: a) adequate counseling of patients and their physicians; b) beginning of symptomatic treatment (anti-mediator therapy); c) prevention of severe manifestations of the disease (i.e., recurrent anaphylaxis, osteoporosis and bone fractures); d) cytoreductive treatment of advanced SM variants.

This review aims to summarize the main manifestations of the disease and describe the ideal diagnostic approach for adult patients with suspected SM, giving physicians the main notions for correct patient diagnosis and management. This review also highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in this very complex disease.

Published: October 2021

Objectives:

The objective is (1) To evaluate the change in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), dyspnea grading, body mass index, and oxygen saturation (SpO2) in adults with postinfectious obliterative bronchiolitis (PIOB) over a period of time (2) To evaluate the same parameters in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and compare with PIOB.

Materials and Methods:

It was a retrospective observational study involving appropriately managed patients of PIOB and COPD with minimum 3 years of follow-up. Out of a total of 106 patients who followed up from January 2019 to December 2019 and had a follow-up data of more than 3 years, 61 (31 COPD and 30 PIOB) patients were included in the final analysis after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results:

The baseline FEV1 and FVC was significantly worse in PIOB group compared to COPD group. In PIOB group, there was nonsignificant increment in both the parameters (FVC by 18.79 ml and FEV1 by 12.2 ml per year). There was a significant decline in FVC and FEV1 in the COPD group by 106.8 ml and 63.25 ml per year, respectively. There was a significant difference between PIOB and COPD for the yearly change in FVC and FEV1 (P value being 0.000083 and 0.000033, respectively). In PIOB group, there was increment in modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) score and nonsignificant change in SpO2 whereas the SpO2 and mMRC score had a yearly decline in the COPD group.

Conclusion:

The PIOB is characterized by a nonsignificant increase in lung function whereas COPD shows a significant progressive decline.

Elder Suicide: What Senior Care Pharmacists Need to Know
Authors: Burechson Keith , Salvatore Tony
Published: October 2021

Older individual suicide is a growing community health problem in the United States. It is also preventable, and senior care pharmacists can increase awareness of the prevalence of suicide risk in older patients. Despite high exposure to many serious suicide risk factors and a high
rate of suicide mortality, older people tend to be overlooked in suicide prevention efforts that lean mostly toward younger age groups. Senior care pharmacists can help remedy this situation by monitoring reports on older patients for possible signs of suicidality, alerting the care team if
signs of potential suicide risk are present, and adding suicide prevention information to their education and counseling roles. An understanding of the nature of older individual suicide, the warning and danger signs of suicidality in older people and how and when to respond is needed. Providing
this background would assure that senior care pharmacists have the skills and confidence necessary to embed suicide prevention in their practice.

Pragmatic Coherence and Equivalence in Literary Translation
Authors: Paronyan Shushanik
Published: October 2021

The topic of the present paper concerns cultural translation and focuses on the cross-cultural aspect of pragmatic equivalence. It is based on the hypothesis that the pragmatic framework of the literary work, i.e.  the deliberate choice of  tied verbal actions and the interpretations of these actions, forms  an important slot in the overall structure of cultural context and displays the artistic literary idea of the writer.  Hence the research work clearly shows that literary translation should adequately transmit the intentions and ideas encoded in the original text to the readers from the respective culture. The cross-cultural pragmatic analysis of the speech act sequences and reporting words carried out on the material of a literary work in English and its Armenian translation has enabled us to determine that the violation of pragmatic coherence of the source text distorts the cultural context planned by the author.
Locales and Interlanguage Communication
Authors: Achkasov Andrei
Published: October 2021

Traditional approaches fail to grasp the essential drivers and turns of interlingual communication in a wide context of current technological, marketing and economic processes. New scenarios of cross- and interlanguage information distribution, prevalence of functionality, timeliness, relevance, predictability, relevance and marketing function of selling texts over standards of quality, do not comply with any types of equivalence and adequacy. The concept of ‘locale’ is used in a variety of research, including Translation and Localization Studies, Marketing, Sociology, Political Science, etc., and allows to identify new variables, qualities and functions of interlanguage communication, embedded into technologically and economically driven processes of content and products distribution. Such parameters of locales as purchasing power, size, stronger or weaker communicative potential of languages, etc., account for asymmetries in interlingual communication and provide for the conceptualization of new patterns of content production and consumption across languages.

Translations of the Thousand and One Nights in Georgia and Their Adaptations in Georgian Folklore
Authors: Gogiashvili Elene
Published: October 2021

Translation is one of the ways in a process of adaptations of fairytales of foreign origin. From this perspective, it is very important to consider literary sources in the study of oral narrative materials. The large numbers of the folktales has a rich literary tradition and some plots of the folktales come from the literature, spread and interpreted by folk narrators. This article focuses on Georgian folktales related to the stories from “The Thousand and One Nights”, and compares the types of international folktales, such as ATU938 The Tale of the King Who Lost His Kingdom, ATU976 Which was the noblest act?, ATU930A The Predestined Wife, ATU561 Aladdin, ATU35 Ali Baba. The review of these tales reveals to us information about not only Georgian folktales related to “The Thousand and One Nights” but also the unique relationship between oral tradition and literate production.

Vitamin D Supplementation: A Potential Prevention Method against Contagious Viral Respiratory Illnesses
Authors:   Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, St. George’s University, Ausi Michael
Published: October 2021

This narrative review explores the protective value of Vitamin D (VD) and its metabolites, such as Vitamin D2 (VD2) and Vitamin D3 (VD3), and their preventive health potentials backed by evidence-based medicine against viral respiratory illnesses (VRI). With the recent events of late 2019, a severe acute respiratory illness began to sweep the globe. This SARS illness was of coronavirus-2 variant known as SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). With COVID-19 in mind, the purpose of this paper was to explore a preventative health model utilizing evidence-based medical research to safeguard against similar viral catastrophes. The knowledge gained is essential for the future education of the general population and necessary for a more preemptive and protective approach to VRIs. Google Scholar, PubMed, and DuckDuckgo were the most often utilized internet search engines and databases to collect sources. Twelve evidence-based medical articles were selected based on specific inclusionary and exclusionary criteria. More specifically, eleven systematic-review and meta-analyses (SRMA) and one Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) were selected. The data extracted from the eleven articles were analyzed to understand the relationship between VD, VD3, and Viral Respiratory illnesses (VRIs). VD is known to have various protective actions on the immune system (IS). First, VD activates gene transcription upon innate immune cells to increase viral defensive proteins such as Defensins and Cathelicidins (Laaski, 2011; Liu, 2006; NIH, 2020). More importantly, VD down-regulates certain specific adaptive immune cells named T helper 2 (Th2). The Th2 cellular pathway indirectly downregulates T helper 1 (Th1), cell pro-inflammatory cytokine storms, thus assisting with viral clearance (Huang, Wang, Li et al., 2020). More EBM research displays an inverse relationship between VD status and VRI, like incidences, severity, and duration of VRIs (Abioye, Bromage & Fawz 2021). Recommendations for future research were presented to understand VD better and its possible use as a potential therapeutic or preventive medicine modality for the public. Proposals on health policy changes within health agencies like the United States Preventative Task Force (USPTF) were also provided. Changes included mandatory health VD screens tables and their metabolites for patients of different ages and breeds to achieve proper VRI protection to prevent future pandemics.

Authors: Paulo Melina de , Tabak Fani Miranda
Published: October 2021

Proposta interventiva de ação visando o desenvolvimento/aprimoramento de habilidades leitoras em alunos dos anos finais do ensino fundamental a partir da literatura policial. Partindo das teorias de efeito estético e recepção propostas por Iser e Jauss, a educação literária terá como foco a compreensão do leitor-investigador enquanto um elemento ativo no processo de leitura. Considerando o papel essencial do educador nesse processo, em seis missões (etapas) descritas minuciosamente, espera-se contribuir com uma perspectiva de leitura que esteja distante das análises meramente passivas e reprodutoras. O plano, concebido sob a perspectiva de uma pesquisa-ação, prioriza a leitura subjetiva em que, numa relação simbiótica entre autor-obra-leitor, oportuniza-se uma troca constante e recíproca entre aquilo que se lê e o modo subjetivo com que se lê.

Authors: Santos Jeferson Rodrigues dos
Published: October 2021

O presente texto tem como objetivo analisar as estratégias discursivas e textuais presentes em Mayombe (2013 [1980]) e O planalto e a estepe: Angola, dos anos 60 aos nossos dias. A história real de um amor impossível (2009), de Pepetela, no trânsito paratexto, texto e contexto. À luz da noção de “paratexto autoral”, de Gérard Genette (2009 [1987]), articulam-se o nome do autor, o título e a dedicatória à instância narrativa e ao espaço. Como o paratexto coloca-se em relação ao texto, o pseudônimo Pepetela orienta a ótica para os narradores, e o título e a dedicatória suscitam o espaço. Assim, tanto os narradores quanto as geografias espaciais conectam-se ao eixo comum nas duas obras: a convivência entre diferentes grupos e sujeitos e suas diversas formas sociais e culturais.
INTERFACES ENTRE JUVENTUDE, SEXUALIDADE FEMININA E AUTOCUIDADO NO SERIADO “SEX EDUCATION”
Authors: Fialho Luana Alcantara , Sampaio Juliana Vieira
Published: October 2021

O objetivo desta pesquisa foi analisar de que modo a sexualidade de adolescentes é produzida e retratada no seriado “Sex Education”, em especial a sexualidade feminina. Tratou-se de um estudo de caso de documento audiovisual. Evidencia-se que a educação sexual nas escolas é comumente configurada a partir da heteronormatividade. Aimee, uma das personagens, é um exemplo de como a legitimidade das mulheres é validada a partir do olhar desejante dos homens e de como essa relação de desigualdade de gênero implica na falta de conhecimento sobre o próprio prazer e os direitos sexuais. O seriado “Sex Education” nos leva a questionar muitos padrões de gênero, sexualidade, raça, etc., mas é necessário ressaltar as diferenças quanto à realidade brasileira.

Postoperative pain (POP) is a serious complication that reduces the result of total knee (TKA) or hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). The search for predictors of postoperative pain is an actual problem.The aim of the study – to assessing relationship the polymorphisms of the KCNS1, COMT and OPRM1 genes and the development of POP in OA patients who underwent TKA or THA.Material and methods. The study group consisted of 95 patients with OA knee or hip (64.6% of women, 65.4±9.0 years) who underwent TKA (47.8%) or THA (52.2%). The presence of POP was determined when pain in the area of surgical intervention ≥40 mm (100 mm visual analog scale, VAS) persisted or appeared 3 and 6 months after surgery. All patients underwent genotyping of polymorphisms of the genes KCNS1 (rs734784), COMT (rs6269, rs4633) and OPRM1 (rs1799971) by polymerase chain reaction in real time using original sequence-specific primers and samples labeled with various fluorescent labels. Registration and interpretation of the obtained results were carried out on the DT-96 amplifier (DNA-Technology LLC, Russia).Results. POP was observed in 32.6% of patients who underwent TKA or THA. The frequency of POP after TKA and THA was 30.2% and 34.0% (p=0.882). Statistical analysis revealed no differences in the frequencies of the genotypes of the studied genes (p>0,05). The presence of a homozygous genotype of the GG polymorphism of the KCNS1 gene (rs734784) was associated with the presence of POP in accordance with the recessive genetic model (GG vs AA+AG; odds ratio (OR) – 3.96 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.51; 10.37]; p=0.005). The presence of the mutant allele T (TT+CT) in the genotype of the COMT polymorphism (rs4633) reduced the risk of POP compared to the carrier of the CC genotype (OR=0.32 [95% CI: 0.12; 0.83]; p=0.02) in accordance with the dominant genetic model. There was no significant correlation between the development of POP and the carrier of different genotypes and alleles of the COMT (rs6269) and OPRM1 (rs1799971) genes.

Conclusions. There is a statistically significant association the polymorphism of the KCNS1 (rs734784) and COMT (rs4633) genes and the development of chronic POP in patients who underwent TKA or THA. Further studies of the genetic predisposition to POP are required on more clinical material.

Published: October 2021

Objective – to compare the results and complications of open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) in patients operated on according to the standard technique and using the developed method of performing the operation using the original fixator.Materials and methods. 73 patients with primary and secondary OA of the knee I–III stages were recruited into the study, which were divided into 2 groups. Group 1 consisted of 43 patients, who underwent 46 OWHTO from 2005 to 2019 using the standard technique using short plates with a fixed spacer (Puddu I (5 times) and II generation (24 times), Osteomed (17 times)) and bone grafting. Group 2 consisted of 30 patients who were operated on in 2018– 2020 using the developed surgical technique and the original fixator. To assess the result, we studied the change in pain according to the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), as well as the functional (FS) and objective scores (OS) of the knee according to the Knee Society Score (KSS) before surgery, after 3 months and 1 year after OWHTO.Results. In group 1, one year after OWHTO, the results were obtained: excellent in 43.5% of cases, good – in 41.0% and satisfactory – in 15.2% of patients. In group 2, an excellent result was obtained in 59.3% of patients, good – in 33.4% and satisfactory – in 7.3% of cases. In group 1, 15 (32.7%) patients were diagnosed with 26 complications, and in group 2 – 5 (16.6%) patients with 5 complications.Conclusions. The use of the developed surgical technique and the original fixator made it possible to increase the percentage of excellent and good treatment results from 84.5% to 92.7% and to reduce the number of complications associated with OWHTO from 32.7% to 16.6%.
Respecting the GDPR in Online Interviewed Focus Groups
Authors: Goberna Caride Carolina
Published: October 2021

Since March 2020 the Corona virus has limited personal encounters due to social distancing measures. Thus, many data collection techniques relying on face-to-face interaction, like interviews or Focus Groups (FG), are now being practised in online environments. Such change requires the implementation of innovative measures to comply with Regulation EU 2016/679 (GDPR) and obey national data protection laws. Processing personal data of voluntary participants has to have a lawful ground and a clear purpose behind it. Moreover, the researcher has to respect legal requirements and principles for processing personal data, provide the participants with information about the research procedure and apply security measures to avoid risks to the rights and freedoms of individuals. This process has to apply to any interaction mediated by Web-Conferencing Systems (WCS). The purpose of this paper is to describe the legal requirements for conducting online interviews or FG under social distancing conditions. The project of reference for the application of these requirements is the EU Horizon2020 HELIOS project consisting of the development of a decentralised social media platform.

At universities or in industry researchers can interview people personally to test, for instance, the use of a specific technology. The objective is to collect data for future improvements. In 2020 people all over the world found themselves in a pandemic. The Covid-19 limited social meetings with beloved ones and also restricted the work of scientific researchers. Individual or group interviews could not take place in presence. Thus, a solution was seen in online conferencing platforms such as Zoom. Modifying the space and the way in which an interview takes place poses some legal challenges regarding data protection. Such conversations with individuals always have to apply European and national data protection laws. Among other things, this means that there needs to be a specific legal reason to process personal data and a specific purpose behind the interview. Additionally, the researcher has to inform participants about all the legal terms, legal guarantees and research procedure. All this applies as well if online conferencing platforms are used. In this article, you can find a description of the necessary legal steps to develop online interviews with individuals or focus groups and fulfil European data protection requirements.
Food for Thought on Conducting Research Projects on Media Accessibility During the Covid-19 Pandemic and the New Normal
Authors: Okyayuz Şirin
Published: October 2021

The following practice report is based on observational experiences of a project group running a research project on accessibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project aimed to provide accessibility using plain language in children’s programs on a public television channel. The project included three groups of end-users: Deaf, hard of hearing, and visually impaired children. An overview of the project is presented to provide background for the practice report. The second part of the report deals with changes encountered in the running of the project during the pandemic: compensating for the lack of interactivity, social interaction and collective experience; using video conferencing; monitoring research; at-home research spaces and technological availability; network availability and performance; dealing with home computers; communication load; workload and work-life balance. Some key concepts of actor-network theory are used to analyse new actors, networks and shifts encountered in the process of implementing the project in the “new normal” in comparison to its planned implementation pre-COVID-19. In conclusion, a summary of possible options is cited to provide food for thought in running such projects.
 
Lay summary
The following practice report is based on the observations of a group running a research project on accessibility for Deaf, Hard of Hearing and blind children to children’s programs during the Covid-19 pandemic. We aimed to provide accessibility using plain language (easy to understand and easy to follow language in subtitles, through sign language and audiodescription) in children’s’ programs on a public television channel. Initially, an overview of the project is presented to provide background, then the changes encountered in the running of the project due to the pandemic are studied. Some of the issues discussed are: How to compensate for the lack of interactivity and social interaction since there was no face-to-face interaction; using video conferencing, monitoring research; at home research spaces and technology availability; issues about network availability and performance; dealing with home computers; communication load, and workload. Some key concepts of the actor-network theory (ANT) are used to explain changes. ANT is concerned with exploring how networks come into existence, looking into which relations exist, how those relations are sustained, how actors come together to constitute and maintain a network and how networks maintain impermanent stability. In conclusion, a summary of possible options is cited to provide food for thought in running such projects.

Published: October 2021

Islam as a religious teaching that has a vision of rahmatan lil'alamin contains teachings that are able to shape a person's personality who implements divine messages (Alquran) and prophetic messages (hadith) in daily behavior -day. The obligation to study, work, hold fast and convey the mandate, and accountability for deeds before Allah SWT is a small part of Islamic teachings that allow a Muslim to have good work behavior. Commitment, motivation and job satisfaction (either together or separately) will be higher when HR policies create workforce capabilities, reward motivation and provide opportunities for participation. Fourth, HR policies to develop capabilities, motivation and opportunities must exist and reinforce each other. HR policies and reward practices that are implemented and enforced by the leadership can trigger discretionary behavior which is characterized by a change in attitude. It can increase or weaken if the policy is not in accordance with the organizational culture and values adopted. The success of the work done will provide experience that can help in acting in the future.
