Assurer l’accès aux droits sexuels et reproductifs en temps de crise sanitaire : le Planning familial en mouvement
Authors: Porée Lydie , Malfray Cécile
Published: March 2022

Dès le début du confinement mis en place dans le contexte de crise sanitaire lié à la COVID-19, le Planning familial, association féministe et d’éducation populaire, s’est mobilisé sur deux fronts au moins. Il s’agissait, d’une part, de continuer à informer et accompagner les publics se tournant vers ses 70 associations départementales et, d’autre part, de maintenir, voire de développer, l’accès aux droits à la santé sexuelle et reproductive. La situation de confinement a exacerbé les violences intrafamiliales, compliqué la vie des femmes (accès aux services de santé sexuelle, IVG en délai dépassé, IVG pour les mineures, renouvellement de contraception, dépôt de plaintes…) et limité l’accès à l’information et aux droits (présence des mouvements “anti choix” sur internet). Pour y faire face, le Planning familial s’est fortement appuyé sur le numéro vert « Sexualités, contraception, IVG » 0 800 08 11 11 qu’il gère, a adapté son organisation et mis en place une campagne de communication pour visibiliser les thématiques de la contraception et de l’avortement. L’association a également innové dans ses moyens d’accueil et d’accompagnement des femmes, des jeunes, des personnes LGBTQI, tout en animant sa vie démocratique indispensable pour légitimer son rôle politique de structure actrice de l’égalité. Le travail de plaidoyer que le Planning familial a mené a nourri différentes initiatives parlementaires, dont certaines encore en cours, pour augmenter le délai légal de recours à l’avortement.
Robert Mérand et les stages dits « de type nouveau » (1936-1981) : histoire d’un militant pour le renouvellement de la formation des enseignants d’EPS
Authors: Hibon Nicolas
Published: March 2022

Robert Mérand est considéré par les historiens de l’éducation physique et du sport comme un acteur incontournable dans l’évolution et la transformation des pratiques de formation pour les enseignants et les entraîneurs au cours de la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle. Cet article se propose de clarifier à la fois le positionnement idéologique de cet acteur sujet à la controverse ainsi que ses options conceptuelles en matière de formation. Avec les stages de « type nouveau », Robert Mérand a contribué à faire entrer dans le champ scolaire des années 1970 une démarche de formation initiée dans le champ sportif dès les années 1940. Portée essentiellement vers l’innovation et la transformation des pratiques, les permanences et les traits caractéristiques de cette approche sont ainsi exposés et permettent d’enrichir l’historiographie dans le domaine de l’histoire de la formation en éducation physique et en sport sur la base d’archives variées.
Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation with $ Z_2 $ symmetry and spatiotemporal dynamics in diffusive Rosenzweig-MacArthur model involving nonlocal prey competition
Authors: Cao Xun , Chen Xianyong , Jiang Weihua
Published: March 2022

A diffusive Rosenzweig-MacArthur model involving nonlocal prey competition is studied. Via considering joint effects of prey's carrying capacity and predator's diffusion rate, the first Turing (Hopf) bifurcation curve is precisely described, which can help to determine the parameter region where coexistence equilibrium is stable. Particularly, coexistence equilibrium can lose its stability through not only codimension one Turing (Hopf) bifurcation, but also codimension two Bogdanov-Takens, Turing-Hopf and Hopf-Hopf bifurcations, even codimension three Bogdanov-Takens-Hopf bifurcation, etc., thus the concept of Turing (Hopf) instability is extended to high codimension bifurcation instability, such as Bogdanov-Takens instability. To meticulously describe spatiotemporal patterns resulting from \begin{document}$ Z_2 $\end{document} symmetric Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation, the corresponding third-order normal form for partial functional differential equations (PFDEs) involving nonlocal interactions is derived, which is expressed concisely by original PFDEs' parameters, making it convenient to analyze effects of original parameters on dynamics and also to calculate normal form on computer. With the aid of these formulas, complex spatiotemporal patterns are theoretically predicted and numerically shown, including tri-stable nonuniform patterns with the shape of \begin{document}$ \cos \omega t\cos \frac{x}{l}- $\end{document}like or \begin{document}$ \cos \frac{x}{l}- $\end{document}like, which reflects the effects of nonlocal interactions, such as stabilizing spatiotemporal nonuniform patterns.
Dynamically learning the parameters of a chaotic system using partial observations
Authors: Carlson Elizabeth , Hudson Joshua , Larios Adam , Martinez Vincent R. , Ng Eunice , Whitehead Jared P.
Published: March 2022

Motivated by recent progress in data assimilation, we develop an algorithm to dynamically learn the parameters of a chaotic system from partial observations. Under reasonable assumptions, we supply a rigorous analytical proof that guarantees the convergence of this algorithm to the true parameter values when the system in question is the classic three-dimensional Lorenz system. Such a result appears to be the first of its kind for dynamical parameter estimation of nonlinear systems. Computationally, we demonstrate the efficacy of this algorithm on the Lorenz system by recovering any proper subset of the three non-dimensional parameters of the system, so long as a corresponding subset of the state is observable. We moreover probe the limitations of the algorithm by identifying dynamical regimes under which certain parameters cannot be effectively inferred having only observed certain state variables. In such cases, modifications to the algorithm are proposed that ultimately result in recovery of the parameter. Lastly, computational evidence is provided that supports the efficacy of the algorithm well beyond the hypotheses specified by the theorem, including in the presence of noisy observations, stochastic forcing, and the case where the observations are discrete and sparse in time.
A novel numerical method based on a high order polynomial approximation of the fourth order Steklov equation and its eigenvalue problems
Authors: Jiang Jiantao , An Jing , Zhou Jianwei
Published: March 2022

Based on high order polynomial approximation and dimension reduction technique, we propose a novel numerical method for the fourth order Steklov problems in the circular domain. We first decompose the primal problem into a set of 1D problems via polar coordinate transformation and Fourier basis functions expansion. Then, by introducing a non-uniformly weighed Sobolev space, the variational form and corresponding discrete scheme are derived. Employing the Lax-Milgram lemma and approximation properties of the projection operators, we further prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions and approximation solutions for each one-dimensional problems, and the error estimation between them, respectively. We also carry out ample numerical experiments which illustrate that the numerical algorithm is efficient and highly accurate.
On a hemi-variational formulation for a 2D elasto-plastic-damage strain gradient solid with granular microstructure
Authors: Placidi Luca , Barchiesi Emilio , dell'Isola Francesco , Maksimov Valerii , Misra Anil , Rezaei Nasrin , Scrofani Angelo , Timofeev Dmitry
Published: March 2022

We report a continuum theory for 2D strain gradient materials accounting for a class of dissipation phenomena. The continuum description is constructed by means of a (reversible) placement function and by (irreversible) damage and plastic functions. Besides, expressions of elastic and dissipation energies have been assumed as well as the postulation of a hemi-variational principle. No flow rules have been assumed and plastic deformation is also compatible, that means it can be derived by a placement function. Strain gradient Partial Differential Equations (PDEs), boundary conditions (BCs) and Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) type conditions are derived by a hemi variational principle. PDEs and BCs govern the evolution of the placement descriptor and KKT conditions that of damage and plastic variables. Numerical experiments for the investigated homogeneous cases do not need the use of Finite Element simulations and have been performed to show the applicability of the model. In particular, the induced anisotropy of the response has been investigated and the coupling between damage and plasticity evolution has been shown.

V Geografskem inštitutu Antona Melika ZRC SAZU je bil leta 1995 z uporabo stometrskega digitalnega modela reliefa Geodetske uprave Republike Slovenije izdelan zemljevid reliefa Slovenije. To je prvi natisnjen in v celoti na digitalni način izdelan prikaz razgibanosti površja v naši državi. Merilo zemljevida je 1:250.000, format pa 66x100 cm. Višinski pasovi so obarvani, zaradi izboljšanja vtisa plastičnosti reliefa so senčeni nakloni površja. Dodana je tudi osnovna hidrografska mreža. Pozneje so bili s pomočjo takrat pridobljenega znanja in osvojene tehnologije v najrazličnejših izvedbah in raznih publikacijah izdelani številni zemljevidi, objavljeni na primer tudi v Nacionalnem atlasu Slovenije.
How Has Gamification Within Digital Platforms Affected Self-Regulated Learning Skills During the COVID-19 Pandemic? Mixed-Methods Research
Authors: Alhalafawy Waleed Salim , Tawfiq Zaki Marwa Zaki
Published: March 2022

Gamification systems on digital platforms are among the essential systems that can motivate learners towards achieving educational gains and goals. Self-regulated learning skills (SRLS) have become one of the most important learning requirements in the COVID-19 pandemic context so that the learner can plan and manage their learning tasks. The current research examines the impact of using Digital Platform Based Gamification (DPBG) on SRLS during the pandemic. A blended research approach based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative approaches was used to better understand the impact of gamification on digital platforms for SRLS during the pandemic. The descriptive approach was used to analyze the previous literature and develop SRLS. The quasi-experimental approach was used to compare the first experimental group that used the DPBG (G1-DPBG) and the second experimental group that used the same Digital Platform without Gamification (DPWG) (G2-DPWG). The phenomenological approach was used to gain a better understanding of how gamification affects SRLS. The research sample in the quantitative study consisted of 60 students from the tenth-grade students in Jeddah who were randomly distributed to the two research groups. The participants in the qualitative research were eight students who were intentionally selected from students who use gamification. A scale of SRLS was developed that included four themes: Goal Setting and Planning, Monitoring, Rehearsing and Memorizing, and Seeking Social Assistance with a total of 28 items. A qualitative tool was developed that includes a set of open-ended questions for semi-structured interviews that were carried out after completing all quantitative data collection. The quantitative results demonstrated the superiority of gamification via digital platforms in developing SRLS. The outputs of the objective analysis of the qualitative data also provided more in-depth explanations and insights from the students’ perspective on the role of DPBG in enhancing SRLS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
My Delicate Taste: Aesthetic Deference Revisited
Authors: Fileva Iskra
Published: March 2022

Pessimists about aesthetic testimony argue that it is inappropriate to rely on other people’s aesthetic judgments in forming our own aesthetic beliefs. Some suggest that such reliance violates an epistemic norm, others that it violates a non-epistemic norm. In making their case, pessimists offer several arguments. They also put forward cases meant to elicit pessimist intuitions. In this paper, I claim that none of the main pessimist arguments succeeds against a plausible version of optimism, that is, the view that reliance on testimony in aesthetic matters is appropriate. However, I suggest also that pessimist intuitions have a certain pull that optimists must account for. My second task is to explain the force of pessimist intuitions by shedding new light on their source.
La patrimonialisation de la ville classique : Rennes, xviiie-xxe siècle
Authors: Chmura Sophie
Published: March 2022

Des recherches dans les fonds iconographiques publics font apparaître une quasi-absence de représentations des rues bâties après la destruction de Rennes par l’incendie survenu en décembre 1720. Or, le quartier classique a forgé l’image de la ville. Il en forme, aujourd’hui, le cœur historique. Impossible de parler de l’histoire de Rennes sans décrire celui-ci car ses rues sont le dispositif clef autour duquel s’est concentrée une grande partie de la réflexion urbaine rennaise. Alors pourquoi n’existe-t-il pas une multitude d’images de ces rues ? Sources historiques de premier ordre, les corpus visuels de Rennes ont rarement été analysés en profondeur. Confrontée aux sources imprimées qui décrivent la ville, l’absence dans l’iconographie des rues classiques est-elle révélatrice du regard porté sur Rennes et sur l’art de l’architecture du xviiie siècle ?
Le breton et l’école : 1499-1794, analyse d’un échec
Authors: Le Pipec Erwan
Published: March 2022

Although Breton has long been a language of instruction, it has never become a vehicle for mass education. The hypothesis defended here is that the idea of Breton's inability to fulfil this educational function is rooted in its failure to embrace Modernity in the 16th century – a mutation entirely captured by French. Breton then remained the language of an oral civilisation, with medieval characteristics: low standardisation, low diffusion of writing and dependence on French (instead of Latin). The second phase of Modernity, that of the Catholic Reformation, certainly provided it with effective tools of literacy. But with contradictory consequences: the pastoral and utilitarian intentions did not aim at literacy per se. They only allowed the emergence, not the flowering of a written culture in Breton. The action of the Church thus led to the confinement of Breton in a certain archaism, which increasingly disqualified it in the eyes of the elites.
Le tableau social balzacien de Guérande en 1836
Authors: Aupiais Grégory
Published: March 2022

Les sources de l’histoire sociale présentent en Bretagne à la fin de l’Ancien Régime de nombreuses et profondes lacunes structurelles. Les rôles de la capitation constituent donc bien souvent la seule alternative archivistique possible pour une approche globale. Or, ces derniers s’avèrent la plupart du temps très incomplets. Tout d’abord, ils ne concernent au mieux qu’un quart, voire le plus souvent un cinquième de la population totale. De plus, de nombreux contribuables ne déclaraient parallèlement à leur cote d’imposition, ni activité professionnelle, ni état. Jusqu’à la première moitié du xixe siècle, la société bretonne apparaît relativement figée, comme l’avait remarqué Honoré de Balzac lors de son séjour dans la presqu’île guérandaise au printemps 1830. Il le mentionne d’ailleurs dès les premières pages de Béatrix et ceci même alors que l’État jacobin développait en parallèle, notamment à travers les recensements, des outils statistiques permettant d’appréhender la société d’une manière beaucoup plus exhaustive.
Dits, implicites et silences dans la santé des femmes
Authors: Oliveira Sheila Elias de
Published: March 2022

Partant de l’analyse de l’énonciation des médecins français et brésiliens au sujet de la relation entre médecin et patiente, cet article présente une réflexion sur l’interprétation du sens implicite en prenant en compte le rapport entre dit, implicite et silence. L’articulation entre les études de l’énonciation et l’analyse du discours conduit à la considération du silence comme condition de la production de sens, ce qui change le regard sur l’interprétation de l’implicite. L’analyse du dire des médecins sur la « pudeur » des patients et tout particulièrement des femmes, montre que les mots pudeur/pudor jouent un rôle dans la construction des connaissances en médecine, en lien avec des sens implicites et du silence sur le corps, la sexualité et la subjectivité du médecin. Le regard sur le silence rend visibles des questions auxquelles la connaissance et l’éthique médicales doivent faire face aujourd’hui.
Étude du fonctionnement des énoncés : différents modes de présentation énonciative
Authors: Guimarães Eduardo
Published: March 2022

Ce texte propose de mener une réflexion sur les différentes modalités du fonctionnement énonciatif de l’énoncé, défini comme une unité présentant les caractéristiques de la consistance interne et de l’indépendance relative. Seront analysés, entre autres, des énoncés tels que les titres, les énoncés vocatifs et les énoncés à structure prédicative. Pour ce faire, nous considérerons la façon dont se constitue la scène énonciative et dont les différents lieux d’énonciation (locuteur, allocuteur et énonciateur) se rapportent les uns aux autres dans le processus d’agencement par lequel le parlant énonce dans les espaces d’énonciation.
Médias et vérité : le brouhaha qui assourdit les sens
Authors: Orlandi Eni Puccinelli
Published: March 2022

L’objectif de notre réflexion est d’observer le fonctionnement des médias dans la conjoncture actuelle. Pour ce faire, nous revenons sur la façon dont nous concevons, discursivement, l’écriture dans sa manifestation urbaine. D’un autre côté, nous situons les médias comme une forme de relation sociale, en considérant les réseaux sociaux et les nouvelles technologies. En nous appuyant sur la redéfinition discursive des relations sociales, nous cherchons à expliciter le processus de signification que le fonctionnement des médias produit face à la relation vérité/mensonge.
Fourches patibulaires et corps suppliciés dans les enluminures des XIVe-XVe siècles
Authors: Voyer Cécile
Published: March 2022

Dans les représentations des XIVe-XVe siècles, les figures des fourches patibulaires, des gibets et des pendus servent à définir une société, un monde où l’ordre est restauré, l’harmonie rétablie grâce à l’exercice d’une bonne justice. Le fauteur de trouble est rejeté aux marges de la société, la pendaison – peine de relégation – permet à la société de retrouver sa cohésion après que le criminel en ait été exclu.Derrière chaque image de pendu se cache celle de Judas, le traître par excellence, condamné à une mort sans fin. C’est pourquoi dans les manuscrits d’histoire, les Chroniques, la déchéance du condamné, futur damné, est clairement signifiée.
L’archéologie des lieux d’exécution en République Tchèque et en Basse-Silésie (Pologne)
Authors: Mašková Pavlína , Wojtucki Daniel
Published: March 2022

L’article a pour objectif de présenter les résultats des fouilles archéologiques préventives et programmées réalisées sur les lieux d’exécution en République Tchèque et en Basse-Silésie (Pologne). Il s’intéresse à la typologie de ces structures (plan, matériaux de construction, etc.) et les présente comme des lieux dédiés à l’inhumation des condamnés à mort et des suicidés. Privés de sépulture chrétienne, ces défunts sont alors enterrés sans aucun soin, dans des positions et des orientations variées. En ce sens, ces quelques pages s’intéressent également à la problématique liée à l’interprétation des inhumations atypiques médiévales et modernes.
Festivals pop 70 en France ou « le souci de tous ceux qui voient un lanceur de bombe dans un amateur de Rock’n’Roll »
Authors: Amar Johanna
Published: March 2022

S’inscrivant dans un élan de création de festivals de musique pop à l’échelle internationale, les premiers festivals pop voient le jour en France en 1970 au Bourget, à Valbonne, à Aix-en-Provence et à Biot. Les autorités craignent que ces manifestations soient accompagnées de violences à l’image du festival d’Altamont (1969), mais aussi de contestations politiques orchestrées par des maoïstes – deux de ces festivals sont d’ailleurs interdits (Valbonne et Aix). Au moyen d’archives officielles, d’entretiens et de sources médiatiques, cet article cherche à étudier le rôle que ces festivals ont pu jouer comme révélateurs d’un choc générationnel entre une nouvelle culture jeune et celle des adultes. C’est pourquoi nous étudierons les représentations de la jeunesse et du rock à travers le regard des autorités et des médias. Nous nous intéresserons également aux formes de cultures contestataires qui se manifestent au sein des festivals pop et des répercutions sur la société.
This is not a Love Song. Du détournement des médias télévisés par John Lydon : du spectacle au Spectacle
Authors: Becker Christophe
Published: March 2022

Le musicien britannique John Lydon, chanteur des Sex Pistols sous le nom de Johnny Rotten, a fait de la provocation l’une de ses caractéristiques dès ses premiers pas sur scène. Lydon a très tôt considéré comme un ennemi naturel la télévision et les médias en général dont il comprend et maîtrise parfaitement les règles, qu’il va utiliser à son avantage tout en distillant un message politique. Nous étudierons le personnage que Lydon s’est patiemment construit à la télévision depuis 1976. Nous verrons comment le chanteur inverse volontairement l’image de la vedette propre et aimable telle qu’elle apparaissait dans les médias jusque-là afin de mieux souligner l’inanité du monde médiatique et par là-même de la société britannique contemporaine, et d’offrir, sous un vernis apparent de grossièreté, de bêtise, de mauvaise éducation, de cynisme et de mauvais goût assumé qu’il brocarde dans ses propres chansons, un discours politique et artistique patiemment construit et aux antipodes de ce qu’il choisit de montrer à l’écran.
Construction prosodique de la violence chez Métal Urbain : l’exemple du 45 tours Paris Maquis (1977)
Authors: Migliore Olivier
Published: March 2022

Métal Urbain est un groupe punk français proche des mouvances anarchistes formé en 1976. Il sort un premier SP1 en 1977 au label anglais Rough Trade. Celui-ci contient deux titres, « Paris Maquis » – nom donné au SP – et « Clé de contact ». Dans les deux morceaux, le chanteur tient des propos extrêmement radicaux contestant fondamentalement les bonnes mœurs et l’ordre républicain. À cette radicalité du discours s’ajoutent un jeu instrumental, des spécificités phonatoires et une prosodie musicale qui participent à construire un sentiment de violence en accord avec la radicalité idéologique de Métal Urbain, particularités que nous étudierons entre autres à l’aide d’une méthode d’analyse de la prosodie musicale assistée par ordinateur.
1956: Rock and roll e violenza in Italia
Authors: Tomatis Jacopo
Published: March 2022

Le storie della popular music hanno spesso riservato un’attenzione speciale al rapporto tra la nascita del rock’n’roll negli Stati Uniti negli anni Cinquanta e all’ondata di “panico morale” diffusasi in tutto il mondo insieme a esso. E tuttavia, occorre porre un’attenzione particolare al modo in cui i diversi significati associati con il nuovo rock’n’roll sono stati “tradotti” sulle differenti scene e dalle diverse culture nazionali, e recepiti dai diversi pubblici locali. Il caso italiano è particolarmente significativo. L’articolo analizza le modalità con cui il rock’n’roll viene presentato dai media sul mercato italiano intorno al 1956: in particolare, è facile notare come la nuova musica venga associata con immagini di gioventù, ribellione e violenza prima di essere effettivamente disponibile all’ascolto (ovvero, prima della diffusione sul mercato dei dischi e dei film sul rock and roll). L’impatto del rock’n’roll sulla popular music italiana – così come, più in generale, il processo attraverso i quali i generi musicali si diffondono su scene diverse da quella in cui si sono originati – non possono essere compresi se non ponendo attenzione a paradossi di questo tipo.

Critical Trans-literacies in a teacher trans-formation course: media, textbooks and processes of decolonialities
Authors: Saito Ricardo
Published: March 2022

This article aims at reflecting upon how Critical Trans-literacies (Canagarajah, 2020; Pennycoook, 2006) and processes of Colonialities of Power and Knowledge (Quijano, 1992) and Being (Maldonado-Torres, 2007) can be tackled in a Teaching Certificate Course. As teachers in-devir (Deleuze; Guattari, 2011b) participate in the co-construction of pedagogical materials supplemented (Derrida, 1993) by their own experiences as students and teachers of languages, the media, and textbooks, they engage in their own teaching-research processes, practice-and-as-theory and theory-and-as-practice (Mignolo; Walsh, 2019) that intertwine with-and their own teaching-research and learning-research experiences. Trans-literacies and the affordances of the Information and Communication Digital Technologies (Giddens, 1991), Media and textbooks are used as mediation tools (Vigotski, 2001) to provoke movements of thought and teaching-research movements in the classrooms. By being critically engaged in designing and co-creating pedagogical materials localized in their multiple and heterogeneous territories (XXXXX, 2021), our colonized minds of teachers of English as a foreign language are provoked by learning to read ourselves (Freire, 2005), critically (Monte Mór, 2019) and hopefully, deterritorialize and reterritorialize some of the Eurocentric modernity-rationality paradigms (Quijano, 1992) and try to co-construct knowledges and worlds otherwise in the Global South (Sousa Santos, 2010).
Paulo Freire em memes: caricaturas de um país dividido

Published: March 2022

Estamos vivendo tempos de polarização de nossa sociedade e, em meio a ela, a figura de Paulo Freire tem sido central em diferentes embates. A intenção deste texto é compreender como a publicização de memes em redes sociais tem contribuído para a construção de uma narrativa de descrédito do patrono da educação brasileira. A fim de alcançar esse objetivo, foram selecionados memes sobre Paulo Freire compartilhados pelo Movimento Escola Sem Partido em seu perfil nas redes sociais. Tais dados foram analisados à luz da teoria do dialogismo do Círculo de Bakhtin (Bakhtin, 2010; 2015; 2017; Volóchinov, 2017), e ao pensamento do próprio Freire (1967; 1987; 1992; 1996). Os resultados apontam para o uso intencional de termos pejorativos e de baixo calão na produção de tais textos, que têm potencial para causar excitabilidade e adesão de um público contrário a ideias progressistas. Nessa arena, vozes antagônicas aparecem de modo acanhado nos comentários e apontam a necessidade de buscar formas de resistência por meio não apenas de leituras críticas, mas também de engajamento com os processos de construção discursiva a fim de compreender como diferentes ideologias são construídas na linguagem.

Attentiveness to the Voiceless
Authors: Mathwasa Joyce , Ntshuntshe Zoleka
Published: March 2022

Children worldwide begin life with greater vulnerability as they suffer from various forms of mistreatment, discrimination, and exploitation at the hands of those who are supposed to protect and provide for them. This chapter focuses on how the rights of the child are violated through child abuse and neglect based on socioeconomic status in multi-religious and multi-cultural societies. Child abuse and neglect are social ills that threaten to diminish the social and moral obligation of every parent causing moral decay in the youth populace. While neglect may be viewed as parental behaviour of failure to nurture children, children suffer various forms of abuse from trusted relatives, caregivers, and strangers. Factors such as political instability, famine, and poverty have robbed children of their right to normal life. The chapter will also explore the criticisms or loopholes in the children's rights so that parents and caregivers can infuse them in their nurturing of the child.
Transient Marriages, Child Rights Abuses, and Mediatic Gap
Authors: Ajibade Jegede Ebenezer
Published: March 2022

A few abusive occurrences in the Third World escape the lenses of the media, portending danger to our collective existence. One such social ill that defied the radar of news coverage is the growing transient consummation and abortion of conjugal relationship implicating male gender and instantiating abuses affecting the children from such relationships. Regrettably, the ‘hit and run parenthood' posture attendant of this practice often populate the crime cells cross-culturally and raises the probability of social dislocation laden with colossal cost to societies. Consequently, this chapter attempts to descriptively investigate the depth of this sexual pervasion and the predicaments of children raised under such milieu. A passionate appeal is thus made to galvanize dissuasive participation in such practices and to generate more media attention in order to alleviate the excruciating socio-economic condition and discourage crime among the affected children.

AM material is the materials that make through the additively manufactured process. This is a high technology that can help us to make different structure materials on the one equipment. The AM materials is highly anticipated for using in the airspace, automobile, medical and the industry, because the AM materials is easy to create, reproduce and can have a complex structure. But before we use it, we need to understand the weak point of the AM materials. For this paper I’m gone to describe some Influential factors on fatigue behavior of the AM materials which is based on the Ti‐6Al‐4V alloy.
Effects of Perceived Risk and Subjective Norms on Internet Banking Adoption Amongst the Students of University of Kelaniya: A Multilevel Linear Model Analysis
Authors: Nayanajith D. A. Gayan , Damunupola K. A.
Published: March 2022

Challenging technology advancements necessitate robust macroeconomic performance to support overall economic development. Within the service sector of the economy, one of the broadly studied areas of technological transformation is retail financial services; particularly consumer banking activities. Internet banking enables customers to experience a vast array of financial services through e-banking websites. Nonetheless, in practice; this phenomenon is contingent on the particular context. Hence, this research addresses the significance of subjective norms and perceived risk towards acceptance of consumer internet banking in the Sri Lankan context with special reference to private commercial banks. The sample was drawn from the students of the University of Kelaniya those who are participating in the weekend study programs. The students of the Doctor of Business Administration Course attached to the university were selected as enumerators for data collection. Data collected through self-administered questionnaires from the respondents. Initially, 400 questionnaires were distributed and 287 duly completed questionnaires were considered for the final data analysis. TAM has been extended using the subjective norms and perceived risk variables and dimensions of the variables were measured by a five-point Likert scale. Cronbach’s alpha was used to check reliability. To test the hypotheses, ANOVA, ANCOVA, and multilevel linear models were used. The empirical evidence supported three hypotheses indicating the significance of the variables/constructs on the adoption of internet banking. In conclusion, the authors have presented several suggestions for research studies, in time to come.
The Mediating Effect of Innovation Capability Towards Export Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises in Sri Lanka
Authors: Galagedara J. , Samarakoon S. M. A. K.
Published: March 2022

Export is one of the most important factors influencing economic growth. As a developing country, a systematic action plan is needed to expand the export sector because Sri Lanka’s economy is largely dependent on international trade. Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role to develop the export performance of a country. entrepreneurial orientation and innovation capabilities are important factors that directly affected on internationalization of SMEs. There is no research done in the past to identify the mediating effect of innovation capability on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. Accordingly, this study intended to fill the gap by testing the mediating effect of innovation capability on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. In this context, the objective of this research   is to examine the mediating effect of Innovation capabilities on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance of SMEs in Sri Lanka. This study followed a quantitative research design to examine the above relationship by using the processing technique. The examined population in this research are the exporters who have export turnover below Rs. 150 Mn. Data is collected through a structured questionnaire distributed among 200 exporters. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to analyze the collected data using SPSS. The study found that innovation capability has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and export performance. Accordingly, SMEs should improve the level of entrepreneurial orientation and, innovation capability to improve the export performance of SMEs.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of Double J stent (DJS) insertion during open partial nephrectomy (OPN) on postoperative prolonged urinary leakage. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was made in consecutive cases of OPN performed between 2002 and 2020 for localized kidney tumors at our tertiary center. Urinary leakage was defined as drainage > 72 hours after surgery by biochemical analysis consistent with urine or radiographic evidence of urine leakage. The patients were divided into two groups according to intraoperative DJS placement, and compared regarding clinicopathologic characteristics, perioperative and postoperative outcomes. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the factors associated with urinary leakage after the operation. Results: Review of records identified 182 patients who were included in the study. In 73 (40%) patients PN was performed without insertion of a DJS. Thus, 109 (60%) of patients had a DJS inserted. Apart from higher preoperative eGFR values among patients with DJS (96.6 vs. 94.3 mL/min/1.73 m²; p = 0.03), demographic characteristics were similar between groups. The two groups were not different regarding perioperative, postoperative and clinicopathologic outcomes. Patients with DJS had longer ischemia times (31 vs. 23 min; p = 0.02) and longer length of stay (6 vs. 5 days; p = 0.04). Urinary leakage was seen in 7.6% (n = 14) of all patients and it did not differ according to DJS placement (DJS+ 9.2 vs. DJS- 5.5%; p = 0.41). On multivariate analysis, the tumor nearness to the collecting system was the sole independently significant factor (p = 0.04) predicting postoperative urine leak. Conclusions: Routine intraoperative DJS insertion during OPN does not appear to reduce the probability of postoperative urine leak.

Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate the accuracy of multiparametric Magnetic Resonance Imaging (mpMRI) in the detection of local recurrence of prostate cancer (PCa) with the evaluation of the added value of signal Intensity/Time (I/T) curves. Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of 22 patients undergoing mpMRI from 2015 to 2020 was carried out, with the following inclusion criteria: performing transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy within 3 months in the case of positive or doubtful findings and undergoing biopsy and/or clinical follow-up for 24 months in the case of negative results. The images were reviewed, and the lesions were catalogued according to morphological, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and dynamic contrast- enhanced (DCE) features. Results: The presence of local recurrence was detected in 11/22 patients (50%). Greater diameter, hyperintensity on DWI, positive contrast enhancement and type 2/3 signal I/T curves were more frequently observed in patients with local recurrence (all p < 0.05). Of all the sequences, DCE was the most accurate; however, the combination of DCE and DWI showed the best results, with a sensitivity of 100%, a specificity of 82%, a negative predictive value of 100% and a positive predictive value of 85%. Conclusions: The utility of MRI in the detection of local recurrence is tied to the multiparametric approach, with all sequences providing useful information. A combination of DCE and DWI is particularly effective. Moreover, specificity could be additionally improved using analysis of the signal I/T curves.
Non-invasive diagnosis of under active bladder: A pilot study
Authors: Yoldas Mehmet
Published: March 2022

Objective: We assessed the efficacy of voiding efficiency (VE) to distinguish between underactive bladder (UB) and bladder outlet obstruction (BO) without using pressure flow studies (PFS). Materials and methods: in male patients, uroflowmetry and post-void residual (PVR) urine data and subsequent pressure flow studies (PFS) data were examined retrospectively. Bladder outlet obstruction index (BOI) and bladder contractility index (BCI) were calculated from patients' PFS values. Patients with BCI < 100 and BOI < 40 were grouped as UB group and patients with BCI > 100 and BOI > 40 were grouped as BOO group. VE was computed as a percentage of volume voided compared to the pre-void bladder volume. Results: In total we examined 93 patients, 44 in UB and 49 in BO group. There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in relation to Qmax value (p = 0.38). However, total voiding time, time to reach the maximum urinary flow rate and voided volume showed statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.001). Average VE was 63.6 + 2.43% and 46.2 + 2.63%) for UB and BO groups respectively and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). UB can be diagnosed with at least 95% sensitivity and 88% specificity in men over age 80. Conclusions: Non-invasive uroflowmetry and VE measurements were able to differentiate between UB and BOO patients, presenting with identical clinic features, but different findings of PFS.

Eutanasia e diritto alla vita: problemi etico-sociali
Authors: Tarantino Antonio
Published: March 2022

Il problema dell'eutanasia nella società odierna non si caratterizza più per la sua natura eugenetica, ma trova il suo fondamento nell'ambito di un movimento ideologico, nella secolarizzazione, dove si afferma il diritto del malato ad essere protetto dalla sua malattia, dove ciò che si privilegia non è il diritto alla vita ma il diritto alla qualità della vita. L'autore, dopo aver affermato che il diritto del malato a essere protetto dalla sua malattia non può portare all'assurda conclusione del rifiuto della vita per evitare la sofferenza, in quanto la sofferenza e il dolore sono aspetti costitutivi dell'esistenza umana, conclude che soltanto nel rifiuto dell'eutanasia si attua il pieno rispetto dei diritti essenziali di ogni persona umana.

OBJECTIVES:

Antiepileptic-drug (AED) serum level and inflammatory biomarkers are primarily monitored/assessed during epilepsy treatment for effective seizure control; however, their correlation with seizure recurrence (SR) following AED-tapering has not been established, and this is being investigated in this study.

MATERIALS AND METHODS:

This prospective observational study enrolled persons with epilepsy (PWE) on AED monotherapy and going to start tapering after being seizure-free for ≥2 years. Data regarding seizure episodes, AED-treatment, and adverse events (using Liverpool Adverse Event profile [LAEP]-score) were recorded. Serum AED levels using high-performance liquid chromatography and biomarkers levels through enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits were estimated at AED-tapering commencement and at 6 months/SR time.

RESULTS:

Among 129 enrolled PWE (levetiracetam [n = 52], valproate [n = 34], carbamazepine [n = 29], and phenytoin [n = 14]), SR occurred in 23.3% during follow-up (range 12–44 months). PWE with subtherapeutic serum AED level at the onset of tapering had higher SR (P = 0.004) than those with therapeutic or higher levels. Levetiracetam-treated PWEs with SR have significantly low AED levels than PWE with no-SR (P < 0.001). PWE had significantly raised inflammatory biomarkers (interleukin [IL]-1 β, tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α, IL-6, and high-mobility group box protein 1) and decreased IL-10 than healthy control subjects. SR and no-SR groups did not differ significantly in inflammatory markers except for higher IL-1 β and TNF-α levels in SR group (P = 0.001, 0.02, respectively). Improvement in LAEP score was observed in follow-up visits without any difference between SR and no-SR groups.

CONCLUSION:

Low serum AED levels (especially levetiracetam) and raised levels of TNF-α and IL-1 β during tapering commencement had a higher association with SR following AED-tapering.
Neuroprotective effects of linagliptin in a rotenone-induced rat model of Parkinson's disease
Authors: Abhangi Kinjal V , Patel Jigneshkumar Ishwarlal
Published: March 2022

The present study investigates the antiParkinsonian activity of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-IV) inhibitor, linagliptin. The experimental Parkinson's disease (PD) was induced by administration of rotenone at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg at alternate day subcutaneously for 21 days. Standard drug (levodopa-200 mg/kg and carbidopa-50 mg/kg) and treatment drug (linagliptin-5 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg, and 20mg/kg) were administered orally daily 1 h before rotenone administration. In a rat rotenone model, linagliptin improved muscle coordination, motor performance, and corrected akinesia. Pretreatment with linagliptin showed significant higher levels of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione in brain homogenate of animals. Linagliptin significantly elevated the levels of striatal DA and active glucagon-like peptide 1 in brain homogenate of animals. Furthermore, linagliptin amended alterations induced by rotenone in the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and inflammatory marker such as tumor necrosis factor-α level. The results of the present study indicate the neuroprotective potential of linagliptin for the management of PD might be due to remarkable improvement in motor functions, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and neuroprotective mechanisms.

Introduction:

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage in the continuum of cognitive decline. Multiple risk factors may be involved apart from neuropathological states such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and vascular dementia. There is scant data in the literature pertaining to our study population in Kerala, South India that provide associations between suggested risk factors and MCI. Most of the elderly present to family and primary care physicians with complaints of some form of memory impairment.

Objectives:

To find out the significant neuropathological comorbid conditions present in elderly patients with MCI. To assess for other risk factors in the same population- including laboratory parameters, comorbidities, and psychosocial parameters.

Methods:

This retrospective record-based study included a sample of 93 patients with MCI as quantified by the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE). These subjects were compared with controls (n = 97) without MCI, with respect to neuropathological diagnoses, laboratory parameters and psychosocial parameters.

Results:

The findings of our study were that female gender, higher depression scores, a greater number of medications taken, benzodiazepine use, higher alkaline phosphatase levels, positive fall history, loss of a spouse, and lower levels of education were associated with MCI. MCI is negatively associated with positive alcohol history. The most commonly seen proven neuropathological diagnosis was Parkinson’s disease.

Conclusion:

The risk factors that were found in our study should be highlighted in the elderly and preventive measures should be taken to prevent the downward progression through the cognitive continuum. Prospective studies looking into mild cognitive impairment with better screening tools and proper assessment of neuropathological comorbid conditions can further elucidate the findings related to this study.
