Pathophysiology of non-motor signs in Parkinson’s disease: some recent updating with brief presentation
Authors: Radad Khaled , Moldzio Rudolf , Krewenka Christopher , Kranner Barbara , Rausch Wolf-Dieter
Published: February 2023

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting 1% of the population above sixty years. It is caused by an interaction between genetic and environmental risk factors. Loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc) is pathologically characterizing the disease and responsible for the cardinal motor symptoms, most notably, bradykinesia, rest tremors, rigidity, and loss of postural reflexes. Non-motor signs such as olfactory deficits, cognitive impairment, sleep behavior disorders, and gastrointestinal disturbances are reflecting disturbances in the non-dopaminergic system. They precede dopaminergic neuronal degenerations by 5–10 years and are considered the main contributors to patients’ disability, particularly after the successful implementation of levodopa (L-dopa) treatment of motor symptoms. The present general review aimed to briefly update non-motor signs and their underlying pathophysiology in PD.

Poder judicial nacional y primacía del Derecho de la Unión
Authors: Magaldi Nuria , Krzywon Adam
Published: February 2023

El 7 de octubre de 2020 el Tribunal Constitucional de Polonia declaró la inconstitucionalidad de diversos preceptos esenciales del Tratado de la Unión Europea, cuestionando el principio de primacía del Derecho de la Unión (sentencia K 3/21). Se trata de una resolución que guarda una íntima relación con la reforma judicial polaca, duramente enjuiciada por el TJUE por vulnerar los estándares de independencia judicial. El presente estudio explica, en primer lugar, el proceso de captura política del Tribunal Constitucional polaco para, seguidamente, detenerse en el contenido de la sentencia K 3/21: el rechazo de aquella jurisprudencia del TJUE alegando una extralimitación competencial por parte de las instituciones de la Unión. Seguidamente, se analizan las competencias de la Unión en materia de poder judicial nacional y se explican los métodos para solucionar potenciales conflictos entre el ordenamiento nacional y el de la Unión. Por último, se estudian las consecuencias del principio de primacía, incidiendo en que los jueces nacionales tienen la facultad de examinar, de oficio, la compatibilidad de una determinada disposición nacional con el Derecho de la Unión. Esta facultad no puede ser limitada por ningún acto nacional, ni por el hecho de que exista una previa declaración de su constitucionalidad.
problema de incoherencia en la Interpretación de los Muchos Mundos de la Mecánica Cuántica
Authors: Rubio Juan María
Published: February 2023

La Interpretación de los Muchos Mundos de la Mecánica Cuántica se enfrenta desde su origen al problema de cómo reconciliar la naturaleza probabilística de la teoría cuántica con una descripción determinista del Universo en la que todas las posibilidades se actualizan. En este trabajo se busca presentar la situación del problema a través de las soluciones propuestas por Lev Vaidman y David Deutsch y ponerlas en relación, además de plantear la probabilidad como un postulado epistemológico de acuerdo con su interpretación subjetivista.

Authors: B. Cantillas Roteza Gloria , C. Viray Marecon
Published: February 2023

This study attempted to evaluate how the city integrated all of its disaster management measures to already ease the hardships of the populace. With the aid of a validated survey questionnaire created by the researcher, the results were gathered by convenience sampling. Utilizing frequency and percentage distribution, the data were examined. According to the results, women make up the majority of respondents, and they tend to be between the ages of 26 and 35. The results showed that at least 56 percent of respondents are aware, while 44 percent are unaware of the government's initiative. Findings showed 52 percent were minimal which means no roof/wall detached during the Typhoon Odette, 40 percent were moderate, or some roof or wall detached, while 8 percent were severe, or all roof/ wall was detached when it comes to the severity of damage. Furthermore, the respondent’s level of satisfaction with the prevention, preparedness, and response measures taken by the Cebu City Government during Typhoon Odette stated that 62 percent of respondents, or the majority, expressed a moderate level of satisfaction with the initiatives and measures implemented, compared to 30 percent who expressed a low level of satisfaction and only 8 percent who expressed a high level of satisfaction. The researchers suggest this study to help identify the crucial areas to concentrate on and to strengthen in order to improve the local community's management of disaster risk and reduction in the years to come.

Exploring Bilinguals’ Behaviour and attitudes at Tabuk university towards code-switching and mixing of Arabic and English in everyday conversations
Authors: Alawfi Nadyh N.
Published: February 2023

The key purpose of this work is to investigate the topics of code-switching and mixing, as well as the factors influencing code-switching and mixing. In turn, this will enable the various language forms used in daily communications between students to be identified. The sample used in this study consisted of ten English Language students from the female section of Tabuk university). Information was gathered using two different research tools, namely interviews and personal observations made by the researcher during conversations and interactions with her students. The interviews involved questioning the students about why they used code-switching and mixing. The data took the form of statements, phrases, and words used by students in everyday communication that feature code mixing and switching. The findings indicated that there is a higher degree of openness to code-switching and mixing and that opinions regarding code-switching and mixing between English and Arabic are generally positive. Moreover, the results demonstrate that there are three types of code mixing, namely the code-mixing of words, the code-mixing of phrases and the code-mixing of sentences. Furthermore, the findings of this research indicated that there were many factors that motivated students to engage in code-switching and mixing. Most factors were related to speaking two languages, showing one’s ability to be prestigious, integrating into the modernized world and the effects of globalization. Nonetheless, a number of other motivational factors were also identified, such as a desire to stand out from others, the desire to express themselves clearly (especially for those with pronunciation problems) and the belief that certain content is more appropriately expressed in one language (e.g., either English or Arabic). Other reasons included appearing more knowledgeable, demonstrating one’s cultural identity, excluding some people from conversations, demonstrating modernisation, developing a sense of social belonging and saving time.

Authors: FANG SAIYIN , LI MING , LI WEI , HUANG CHANG LIN , DENG TINGTING , DU KUN
Published: February 2023

To explore the propagation law of AE signal in wood, the propagation velocity of P-wave and S-wave and the energy attenuation law of different frequency components were studied By PLB (pencil-lead break) tests. Firstly, an improvedtime-difference-of-arrival (TDOA)method was designed to determine the arrive time. Thepropagation velocities of P-wave and S-wave were calculated. Then, the Young's modulus was estimated by P-wave velocity. Finally, on thebasis of eliminating the influence of standing wave, the energy attenuation models were obtained by numerical fitting and wavelet decomposition. The results showed that the improved TDOA algorithm can calculate the propagation velocity of P-wave and S-wave at the same time through one test, and the P-wave velocity can be used to estimate the Young's modulus. P-wave propagated faster in soft wood, while S-wave propagated faster in hard wood. The higher thefrequency of AE signal, the faster the energy attenuation.

The objectives of the study, conducted in the National Park of Bou Hedma, were to examine: (1)the relative contributions of short-term canopy (STE) and long-term soil effects (LTE) of a shrub species in explaining differences in biomass, species diversity (richness) and species density of understory plants (i)between shrubs and open areas, (ii)between shrubs and removed shrubs;and (2)the role of grazing in driving changes in direction of short-term and long-term effects in shrub/understory species interactions.We measured environmental conditions (soil nutrients and soil water) in plots that represented different neighborhood conditions (in open areas between shrubs, amongst intact shrubs and among removed shrubs), which were either fenced or exposed to grazingby large herbivores. We also studied understory species biomass, richness, densitysurvival rate of atarget species in plots represented different neighborhood conditions. Differences in species richness, density and biomass of understorey communities between shrub removed and open areaswere mostly due to long-term soil effects whereas differences below shrubs and shrub removed were due to short-term effects in particular on soil water content. Our study provides additional evidence that savannas shrubshave the potential to increase the diversity of arid systems at the landscape level. Additionally, grazing by large herbivores influenced negatively the dynamic of vegetation under arid bioclimate.

To study the effect of retention and drainage aidson the fast-growing eucalyptus bleached kraft pulp (EBKP) suspensions, different concentrations of cationic polyacrylamide (CPAM)and cationic starch were dosed with EBKP suspensions and their effects on rheological properties were studied. Theshear yield stress (τy)of softwoodbleached kraft pulp(SBKP)and poplar alkaline peroxide mechanical pulp (PAPMP) were comparedandevaluated for their potential applications. The results show that in the steady-state shear condition, the τyof EBKP is proportional to the pulp mass concentration (Cm),corresponding to the exponential relation . SBKP had the highest τyvalues, followed by EBKP and PAPMP. Adding CPAM and cationic starch to EBKP suspensions at low to moderate doses increased the τy, butonce thelevels reached a certain point, the τyvalues began to deteriorate. This research is crucial to achieve optimally and stabilize the downstream manufacturing process in papermaking.

Published: February 2023

This research aims to address the noise pollution by developing an acoustic absorber made of polylactic acid (PLA)/polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)-wood fibers (PLA/PHA-WF) by compression molding (CM) and additive manufacturing (AM). Physical, mechanical, thermal, water absorption, and biodegradation properties of the developed acoustic absorbers by CM and AM were characterized and compared. Upon providing an air gap, thin absorbers developed by AM exhibit an increased and narrow acoustic peak than the CM absorbers because of theHelmholtz resonance effect due to the decreased density and increased porosity in the AM absorber. The results also show that the mechanical and thermal properties of theabsorbers developed by CM and AM were almost similar and absorber developed by AM shows anincreased rate of water absorption and biodegradation compared to absorber developed by CM due to the presence of porosity in the AM structure.

Wood-based composites with different ratiosof wood fiber (WF)/palm kernel shell (PKS) and polyurethane (PU) content have been prepared using the wet-process method. Samples of WF85/PKS15 and WF75/PKS25 were fabricated where each sample was applied with 20% and 70% of PU contents and itsphysical and mechanical properties had beenstudied. The physical results show that the samples with 70% of PU content were denser, had low porosity, low moisture content,and low water absorption. Surface morphology observation shows both series samples with high PU content tend to form tube-like shape with different diameter. Inmechanical studies, generally, the sample with high PKS and PU possesseshigh flexural strength, flexural modulus, tensile strength, tensile modulus,and hardness. However, theincreased of PKS content in the composite reduces the tensile strength for both sampleswith 20% and 70% of PU. The effects of the binder and palm kernel shell in the composite were also explained. Based on the Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) A 5905 standard, the sample composites meet therequirement under medium density fiberboard (MDF) category and classified as board type 5 which suitable as furniture, house,and automotive interior design and construction materials.

Published: February 2023

A Learning Resource Centre is a type of library that houses books and all other media facilities as well as daily newspapers and journal articles. Indoor climates such as the indoor dry bulb temperature and relative humidity must be controlled at the recommended level in a Learning Resource Centre in order to keep the collections and archival materials in good condition. Based on the ASEAN Energy Organization report, 50-60% of the total energy consumption of a building goes to Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems operation. As such, energy savings for HVAC systems is crucial and should be studied, especially after climate change has taken place. In this paper, the author installed data loggers in the Resource Centre for a period of a month to monitor the indoor climate changing trend. Due to the lack of cooling and dehumidification processes when the HVAC systems were turned off, there were peaks in both indoor dry bulb temperature and relative humidity during the night. The ambient high relative humidity had caused an increase in the indoor relative humidity at night. At the same time, the energy consumption simulation of the HVAC systems was run using the Transient Energy System Simulation Tool (TRNSYS). Different operating modes were set in the simulations to obtain the comparison of energy consumption for the different operating modes of the HVAC systems under four different weather elements, namely the present-day, 2020’s, 2050’s and 2080’s time scenarios. Electricity bills for the different scenarios based on current electricity tariffs were analyzed. The results show that a significant saving can be obtained if the HVAC systems were operated under the All-day Operating Mode.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of different graphene oxide (GO) solution immersion temperature on the structural, morphology, optical, and electrical properties of zinc oxide/graphene oxide (ZnO-GO) nanostructures. The ZnO/GO nanostructures prepared at various GO solution immersion temperature from 75-95℃ using solution immersion method. The structural properties of the samples were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the recorded patterns revealed that all the samples had a preferred orientation along the (002) plane. The crystallinity of ZnO/GO nanostructures were enhanced with increasing GO solution immersion temperature. The morphology of ZnO/GO nanostructures was determined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Fourier transformation infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to determine the molecular compounds of ZnO/GO nanostructures. The peak intensity of GO with ZnO nanoparticles is shifted at 744 to 1243 cm-1 when the temperature of GO solutions increases. The UV–visible spectrophotometer was used to examine the optical properties of ZnO/GO nanostructures. It is found that the highest transmittance ZnO/GO nanostructures was obtained at the highest GO solution immersion temperature which is 95℃. Based on the current-voltage(I–V) measurement, the electrical properties of ZnO/GO nanostructures increase when the GO solution immersion temperature increases. Thus, by variation of GO solution immersion temperature the structural, morphology, optical, and electrical behaviour were improved.

Bribery and Corruption in Matthew 28:11-15: A Lesson for the Church in Africa
Authors: Appiah John
Published: February 2023

The narrative of Jesus’ resurrection in Matthew 28:11-15 implies an incident of bribery and corruption and its effects on injustice, misinformation, and suffering in society. Literature abounds on bribery and corruption based on Matthew 28:11-15. Studies have also been done on bribery and corruption in Africa. However, few studies comparatively have emphasized the bribery and corruption mentioned in Matthew 28:11-15 and its relations to the church in Africa. Therefore, a review of the implication of bribery and corruption in Matthew 28:11-15 for African religious leaders is in order. The church in Africa may take some precautions from the implications of the narrative. The following implications can be drawn from the analysis of the bribery and corruption narrative of Matthew 28:11-15:(1)working for God does not exclude a person from evil. (2) the dare influence of bribery and corruption can destroy lots of good in society. The study adopted the textual-syntactical approach to biblical interpretation. The main objective of the study was to determine how a textual study of Matthew 28:11-15 can serve as a warning to religious leaders in Africa. To ensure that the church champions the fight against bribery and corruption in Africa, the study recommended that: (1) the church should demand accountability from its leadership as an example to the broader society;(2) the church exposes and fires corrupt leaders, and (3) church leaders should lead bribery and corruption-free life as examples to members and the wider society. This research will be of benefit to the clergy and other church leaders who would perceive the dire consequences of bribery and corruption in the church, especially as it relates to the African context. Second, it has also added to the existing literature on the interpretation of Matthew 28:11-15 as it relates to bribery and corruption in the Bible.

This study aimed at testing the influence of organizational culture, transformational leadership, and personality on organizational commitment, with job satisfaction as the intervening variable. This study employed a quantitative method with path analysis technique and SITOREM (Scientific Identification Theory to Conduct Operation Research in Education Management) analysis. The study was carried out in a Private Madrasah Aliyah, East Jakarta, with hundred and forty (140) full-time teachers of the institution as the samples. Data were collected through questionnaires. The result of the study shows that there is a positive and significant direct influence of organizational culture on organizational commitment; transformational leadership on organizational commitment; personality on organizational commitment; job satisfaction on organizational commitment; organizational culture on job satisfaction; transformational leadership on job satisfaction and personality on job satisfaction. On the other hand, the study revealed that organizational culture does not significantly influence organizational commitment through job satisfaction; transformational leadership does not significantly influence organizational commitment through job satisfaction; and personality does not significantly influence organizational commitment through job satisfaction. From the result of the SITOREM analysis, seven (7) indicators of priority that requires handling were obtained. This study recommends that the institutions should improve their policies so that the level of teachers’ commitment is increased.

To date, the proposed observation of young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Galactic center still raises the question of where and how these objects could have formed due to the violent vicinity of Sgr A*. Here, we report the multiwavelength detection of a highly dynamic YSO close to Sgr A* that might be a member of the IRS 13 cluster. We observe the beforehand known coreless bow-shock source X3 in the near- and mid-infrared (NIR/MIR) with SINFONI (VLT), NACO (VLT), ISAAC (VLT), VISIR (VLT), SHARP (NTT), and NIRCAM2 (KECK). In the radio domain, we use CO continuum and H30α ALMA observations to identify system components at different temperatures and locations concerning the central stellar source. It is suggested that these radio/submillimeter observations in combination with the NIR Brγ line can be associated with a protoplanetary disk of the YSO, which is consistent with manifold VISIR observations that reveal complex molecules and elements such as PAH, S iv, Ne ii, and Ar iii in a dense and compact region. Based on the photometric multiwavelength analysis, we infer the mass of

for the YSO with a related age of a few 104 yr. Due to this age estimate and the required relaxation timescales for high-mass stars, this finding is an indication of ongoing star formation in the inner parsec. The proper motion and 3D distance imply a relation between X3 and IRS 13. We argue that IRS 13 may serve as a birthplace for young stars that are ejected due to the evaporation of the cluster.

⊙. The mean scaled pressure in the low-z sample is lower at small radii and higher at large radii, a trend that is accurately reproduced in similarly selected samples from The Three Hundred simulations. This difference appears to be primarily due to dynamical state at small radii, evolution at intermediate radii, and a combination of evolution and mass dependence at large radii. Furthermore, the overall flattening of the mean scaled pressure profile in the low-z sample compared to the mid-z sample is consistent with expectations due to differences in the mass accretion rate and the fractional impact of feedback mechanisms. In agreement with previous studies, the fractional scatter about the mean scaled pressure profile reaches a minimum of ≃20% near 0.5 R
500. This scatter is consistent between the low-z and mid-z samples at all radii, suggesting it is not strongly impacted by sample selection, and this general behavior is reproduced in The Three Hundred simulations. Finally, analytic functions that approximately describe the mass and redshift trends in mean pressure profile shape are provided.
Light Curves and Polarizations of Gravitationally Lensed Kilonovae
Authors: Qi Yan-Qing , Liu Tong
Published: February 2023

Kilonovae are generally believed to originate from the ejecta of binary neutron stars (NSs) or black hole–NS mergers. Free neutrons might be retained in the outermost layer of the ejecta to produce a precursor via β decay. During the propagation of kilonovae to observers, a small percentage of them might be gravitationally lensed by foreground objects. In this paper, three lens models, i.e., the point-mass model, the singular isothermal sphere (SIS) model, and the Chang–Refsdal model, were taken into consideration to explore the light curves and polarizations of gravitationally lensed kilonovae. We found that, if the time delay between two images exceeds the ejecta-heating timescale for the lens mass ∼1010
M
⊙ in the SIS model, a tiny bump-like signal will be generated in the light curve, and the total luminosity will be magnified in all cases. The polarization of lensed kilonovae is significantly enhanced in most cases. Future detections of lensed kilonovae will impose constraints on the morphology of the ejecta and aid in the determination of the nature of compact object mergers and the search for strong gravitational lenses.

Archival CO molecular line data from the Canadian Galactic Plane Survey (CO(J = 1–0)) for the wider region (∼50′ × 50′) and the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (CO(3–2), 13CO(3–2), and C18O(3–2)) for the central portion (∼5′ × 5′) have been utilized. Analysis of the CO(1–0) spectra for the extended region in conjunction with the identification of the hub and filament using a column density map and the getsf tool, respectively, reveals a complex structure with the spectral extraction for the central position displaying multiple velocity components. Based on the Herschel 70 μm warm dust emission, one of the filaments in the extended region was inferred to be associated with active star formation, and is host to a Bolocam 1.1 mm clump of ∼1606 M
☉. An integrated intensity map of 13CO(3–2) emission, constructed from clumps detected at above 5σ in position–position–velocity space, reveals three filamentary structures (labeled the western filament (W-f), southwestern filament (SW-f), and southeast filament (SE-f)) in the central portion. Velocity gradients observed in 13CO(3–2) position–velocity slices point to longitudinal gas flow along the filaments into the central region. Filaments W-f, SW-f, and SE-f were calculated to have observed line masses of ∼32, 33.5, and 50 M
☉ pc−1, respectively. The cloud was found to be dominated by supersonic and nonthermal motions, with high Mach numbers (≳3) and a low thermal-to-nonthermal pressure ratio (∼0.01–0.1).

The design of a copter has been carried out, that can be used to set up air interference, reducing the probability of impact of the enemy air defense systems, reconnaissance operations, and the transfer of military cargo. The developed hexacopter is capable of carrying a useful load of 2.5-3.0 kg, at a speed of up to 45 km/h, based on a Pixhawk family flight controller using the Arducopter firmware. Stability of the flight of a quad-copter on a frame of 850 mm during a gusty wind of 7-8 m/s in navigation modes for firmware Arducopter ver.4.0.7 has been experimentally tested. The use of software dy-namic notch filters to reduce the impact of vibrations from running motors on the readings of the accelerometer and gyroscope is considered.

The habitat of the European mudminnow, Umbra krameri Walbaum, 1792, is continuously decreasing due to human intervention. The species has a “vulnerable” status according to the IUCN Red List. Thus, new information about the species is needed for conservation efforts. Minnow traps were used for capturing Umbra krameri and other small fishes in the Jieț River, Dolj County, southwestern Romania. Captured specimens of U. krameri were measured and weighed. Length–weight relations and relative condition factor were determined for the captured U. krameri specimens. A total of 94 fishes were captured using the minnow traps. They represented 7 species: European bitterling, Rhodeus amarus (Bloch, 1782), roach, Rutilus rutilus (Linnaeus, 1758), rudd, Scardinius erythrophthalmus (Linnaeus, 1758), Danubian spined loach, Cobitis elongatoides Băcescu et Mayer, 1969, weatherfish, Misgurnus fossilis (Linnaeus, 1758), tubenose goby, Proterorhinus marmoratus (Pallas, 1814), and U. krameri. The specimens of Umbra krameri represented 44% (41 specimens) of the total catch. The wet body weight (BW) of U. krameri ranged from 0.8 to 5.1 g, having a mean value of 2.102 g. The mean total length (TL) was 5.782 cm, ranging from 4.59 to 7.87 cm. According to the length–weight relation (LWR), the growth type of U. krameri was positive allometric based on the determined equation: BW = 0.0068TL3.277. The mean value determined for the relative condition factor (Kn) was 1.0056486. The growth condition of 46% of the specimens was poor (Kn < 1; n = 19), while the other 54% were in good condition (Kn ≥ 1; n = 22). The presently reported study provides information about the presence of U. krameri in the Jieț River (Dolj County, Romania), a location where the species has not been previously reported. The LWRs show an allometric positive growth. The relative condition factor shows that 46% of the specimens had poor growth, while the rest were in good condition. Minnow traps were an efficient tool for small fish capture.
Endogenous intoxication in development of experimental periodontitis of bacterial-immune genesis
Authors: Demkovych Andrii
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Excessive lipoperoxidation is accompanied by accumulation of peroxidation products and depletion of antioxidant re-serves, which cause hyperenzymemia and the accumulation of toxic substances. The level of endotoxicosis is determined by the content of hydrophilic and hydrophobic products in the blood. 

Aim: To define the pathogenetic role of endogenous intoxication in the dynamics of development of experimental periodontitis of bacterial-immune genesis. 

Materials and methods: The experiment was conducted on rats. The animals were divided into three groups: group 1 – control group/intact; group 2 – model periodontitis at 7 days; group 3 – model periodontitis at 30 days. The experimental bacterial-immune periodon-titis was induced by injection into the tissue of the periodontal complex of the microorganisms’ mixture diluted with egg’s albumin. For the study, we selected the blood serum in which the content of middle molecular weight molecules and erythrocyte intoxication index were determined. The results were statistically analyzed by means of non-parametric indices methods. 

Results: The development of generalized periodontitis is characterized by the occurrence of oxidative stress, which leads to violation of the metabolism in the mucous membrane of the oral cavity resulting in the accumulation of toxic products and the development of endogenous intoxication. The results show that the content of middle molecular weight molecules (aromatic amino and chain amino acids) determined on day 7 of the experiment was 1.11 times higher than that of the control group (p<0.01) and by 1.16 times (p<0.01), respectively. Comparing the levels of the above hydrophilic components of endogenous intoxication at 30 days of experimental peri-odontitis, we found a probable increase in these indicators compared with those at 7 days of the experiment. Studying the level of eryth-rocyte intoxication index, we found that at 7 days of experimental periodontitis this index was 1.28 times higher (p<0.01) than that of the intact group and continued to increase at 30 days.

Conclusions: The dynamics of experimental periodontitis of bacterial-immune genesis show that the highest rates of endogenous intoxication are found in the late stages of the dynamics of the inflammatory process in the periodontium, namely at 30 days of the experiment, which may indicate chronic inflammation.

Introduction: Sclerostin is a glycoprotein known as a negative regulator of bone formation, predominantly expressed by mature  osteocytes. There is no causative evidence information on the role of sclerostin in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in humans. 

Aim: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between serum sclerostin levels and oxidative status and biochemical parameters in T2DM patients and healthy people.

Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study, conducted in a clinical trial center, included 45 subjects with T2DM and 45 subjects as controls.

Results: Serum sclerostin, total oxidative status (TOS), albumin, and ferritin levels were significantly higher in T2DM patients than in the control group (p<0.05). Total antioxidant status (TAS) was significantly higher in the control group (p<0.05). There was a weak positive correlation between sclerostin and TOS (r=0.23, p=0.03) and a weak negative correlation between sclerostin and TAS (r=−0.28, p=0.03).

Conclusions: We have demonstrated that serum sclerostin levels increase in patients with T2DM and that the increased sclerostin levels are associated with oxidative stress.

Progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis (PFIC) is a group of liver disorders that manifest in early childhood with cholestasis and pruritus resulting progressively in liver failure. We present a case of a 3-year-old boy with advanced PFIC from refractory pruritus. In order to offer an effective treatment of pruritus, our patient underwent ileal bypass and after a 2-month period free of symptoms, unexpectedly relapsed after a Rota viral infection. Finally, the child underwent orthotopic liver transplantation. Patients with advanced PFIC do not seem to benefit from nontransplant invasive interventions regarding the relief of pruritus.

Cultiver le pouvoir d’agir dans l’urgence sociale : les potentiels de la cohabitation dans un tiers-lieu temporaire
Authors: Galvão Izabel , Hoover Elona M. , Machemie Pierre
Published: February 2023

L’urgence sociale dans les milieux urbains tend à dessaisir les personnes de leur pouvoir d’agir, particulièrement celles en situation d’exclusion. Elle mène aussi à des expérimentations d’occupation temporaire sociales et solidaires. La mise en commun de trois expériences ethnographiques au sein d’un projet temporaire parisien nous permet d’interroger son potentiel pour cultiver le pouvoir d’agir des personnes affectées par l’urgence sociale. Nous explorons trois figures de la cohabitation pour étayer cette question : juxtaposition, intrusion, fabrication. Avec chacune, les possibilités pour cultiver le pouvoir d’agir découlent le plus souvent d’opportunités de réflexion partagée sur les exclusions que produit cette même cohabitation.
