La mise en œuvre des politiques de protection de l’eau
Authors: Hourcade Renaud , Cortinas Muñoz Joan
Published: October 2021

La comparaison entre divers contextes territoriaux est une stratégie stimulante pour expliquer la mise en œuvre contrastée des politiques publiques au niveau territorial. Cependant, la comparaison se fait souvent au détriment d’une connaissance détaillée de chaque contexte et d’une compréhension précise des mécanismes causaux en jeu. Dans cet article, nous présentons une méthodologie permettant de bénéficier à la fois de la comparaison entre un nombre intermédiaire de cas et de la connaissance substantielle des mécanismes causaux permise par les observations détaillées issues d’enquêtes de terrain. Ce design de recherche articule une analyse par process tracing à une analyse qualitative comparée (QCA) de 15 études de cas de (non-)mise en œuvre de la politique publique en France. Cette approche met en avant le rôle de deux facteurs principaux pour expliquer la mise en œuvre de ces politiques, l’existence d’une coalition territoriale favorable à la protection de la ressource et la réduction des incertitudes quant aux origines et aux effets de ces pollutions.
Politisation, discriminations racistes et études supérieures
Authors: Druez Elodie
Published: October 2021

Cet article interroge l’articulation entre politisation, expériences de discriminations racistes et études supérieures en développant une stratégie de « complexification » à partir de méthodes mixtes et d’une comparaison franco-britannique. Le volet quantitatif peine à comparer et à articuler les effets des discriminations perçues et du diplôme sur l’intérêt politique des descendant.e.s d’immigré.e.s français.e.s et britanniques. Le volet qualitatif, centré sur des diplômé.e.s du supérieur d’origine subsaharienne, invite à déconstruire ces variables explicatives en révélant l’effet du type de diplôme universitaire. En explicitant le sens de la relation et les mécanismes à l’œuvre, l’article analyse ainsi comment les sciences sociales – et l’environnement universitaire entourant ces formations – contribuent à favoriser la politisation ainsi que la conscientisation (et donc la déclaration) des discriminations dans les deux contextes nationaux étudiés.
Intégrer des résultats quantitatifs et qualitatifs en économie politique
Authors: Benoît Cyril
Published: October 2021

L’article apporte un éclairage sur quatre modalités d’intégration de résultats qualitatifs et quantitatifs en science politique. Elles sont appliquées à des configurations différentes, mais où le but est à chaque fois de répondre à une même question de recherche. Ces différentes approches sont illustrées à partir d’exemples tirés de la littérature en économique politique, portant respectivement sur la syndicalisation dans les démocraties capitalistes avancées, sur le vote économique, sur la régulation du secteur pharmaceutique et sur la régulation financière.
Recensements et proto-démographie impériale en Amérique espagnole au XVIII e siècle : racialisation précoce ou biais historiographiques ?
Authors: Zuniga Jean-Paul
Published: October 2021

Cette contribution constitue une réflexion sur les processus de racialisation de la réflexion historique sur les sociétés du passé et les biais qu’elle comporte. Dans une première partie, la comparaison entre l’Égypte ptolémaïque et l’Amérique ibérique permet d’insister sur l’importance du sens contextuel, des occurrences et des lieux d’énonciation des termes qui émergent de la documentation historique. Les notions de race, casta et calidad sont ainsi rapportées à des formes spécifiques de socialisation et d’identification sociale mettant en évidence l’importance fondamentale de la relation synchronique contextuelle dans la fabrique de tout processus identitaire, invitant à une analyse en termes de relations plutôt de de statuts. La catégorie contemporaine de race apparaît dès lors de peu d’utilité. Ces questions théoriques permettent d’aborder la deuxième partie, consacrée au cas plus spécifique des recensements de l’Amérique espagnole au xviii e siècle. Fomentés à des fins de défense de l’empire, et avec une visée globale, ils se sont heurtés à une lecture locale visant à hiérarchiser les habitants des Indes. À l’image du caractère morcelé des territoires américains de la Couronne de Castille, déterminant des contextes naturels et démographiques spécifiques, chaque région mit en avant des formes d’identification et d’assignation propres. Partout, de surcroît ces formes d’assignation identitaire déclinèrent de manière toujours singulière phénotype / qualité sociale / inscription culturelle selon des modalités très peu normées et souvent en concurrence avec d’autres logiques hiérarchiques. Tout cela révèle le grand espace entre auto-identification et perception sociale, aspects relatifs et changeants par définition, car ils incluaient de nombreuses variables et constituaient une arène de négociations et de confrontations dont les résultats ne pouvaient être que locaux.
Le nez de Jean-Jacques : la philosophie de l’odorat de Rousseau
Authors: Menin Marco
Published: October 2021

Quelle est la place de l’odorat dans la pensée de Jean-Jacques Rousseau ? L’importance qu’il attribue à la dimension olfactive, tant dans les écrits théoriques ( Discours sur l’inégalité , Émile ) que dans les écrits autobiographiques et romanesques, le place en contre-tendance par rapport à la pensée des Lumières, caractérisée par une dévaluation gnoséologique et éthique de l’odorat. Rousseau est parmi les rares à saisir, dans un sens nouveau et très moderne, la signification philosophique de l’odorat, qu’il insère au cœur de sa doctrine des facultés, pour expliquer la spécificité morale et sociale de l’être humain. Cet aspect ressort surtout dans le lien intime et privilégié que le nez entretient avec l’imagination.
Faire une histoire du catholicisme en Europe
Authors: Gugelot Frédéric
Published: October 2021

En Europe, l’histoire du catholicisme fut longtemps une histoire de l’Église à but apologétique, auxiliaire de la théologie, et soumise au magistère. Sa prise d’autonomie, à des degrés différents selon les pays, a permis l’émergence d’une histoire religieuse qui, dans une histoire « en miettes », est encore hantée par la nécessaire déconfessionnalisation de ses approches, de ses thèmes et de ses chercheurs. Elle peut y répondre par une exigence de neutralité, l’extension du domaine des recherches, l’attention aux autres sciences sociales et ainsi revendiquer d’être un pan à part entière de l’histoire générale.

Published: October 2021

The user can utilise the voice acknowledgement in making it more straightforward for individuals with inabilities to get to entryway frameworks and give better security to lives and properties.  In this paper, the advancement of the technology is used for opening any locking system.  We are implementing this type of module where it can be of low cost, and even physically disabled persons can open the door without any assistance. The Blynk app and a Wi-Fi module can access the system by giving the input and output as a voice recognition speech command. Hence, in this paper, any person can just use google assistant from their smartphone to lock or unlock a secure system with just two controls, i.e., "Ok Google Lock Door one", "Ok Google Unlock Door one". This Project works seamlessly for three locks in one system that can be operated separately using only one main microcontroller, i.e., Node-MCU ESP8266, and relays drivers so that our Project can be quickly developed and deployed. The applications of this Project is endless as technology constantly evolves. Suppose the user is connected with the internet and operated using Google Assistant. In that case, the lock is operated only from one account, making it secure and available to all who use smartphones and have a google account. Even for people who are blind, this can be an excellent way to lock and unlock their resources just with their voice. Anyone can utilise this Project from their convenience, making it the easiest way for anyone to lock/unlock just by two words, i.e., "Ok Google Lock Door."
A Novel Approach for Parkinson’s Disease Detection Based on Voice Classification and Features Selection Techniques
Authors: Ouhmida Asmae , Raihani Abdelhadi , Cherradi Bouchaib , Terrada Oumaima
Published: October 2021

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is one of the most widespread diseases that, primarily, affects the motor system of the neural central system. In fact, PD is characterized by tremors, stiffness of the muscles, imprecise gait movements, and vocal impairment. An accurate diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is usually based on many neurological, psychological, and physical investigations despite the fact that its main symptoms cannot be easily decorrelated from other diseases. As such, many automatic diagnostic support systems based on Machine Learning approaches have been recently employed to assist the PD patients' assessment. In the current paper, a comparative analysis was performed on machine learning (ML) techniques for PD identification based on voice disorders analysis. These ML methods included the Support Vector Machine (SVM), K-Nearest-Neighbors (KNN), and Decision Tree (DT) algorithms.  In addition, two feature selection techniques; mRMR and ReliefF; are used to further improve the performance of the proposed classifiers. The efficiency of the developed model has been evaluated based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity and AUC metrics, and it is higher than existing approaches. The simulation results show that the KNN algorithm yielded the best classifier performance in term of accuracy and reached an AUC of 98.26%.
Intelligent Dust Monitoring Application in Patient Room
Authors: Pruitikanee Siwipa , Kongcharoen Jinda , Puttinaovarat Supattra , Thongkaew Aisariya , Kongdee Nuttawut
Published: October 2021

Due to an ongoing epidemic, the number of hospitalized bedridden patients has increased. It is imperative to closely monitor the hospital room and maintain and clean it regularly to avoid harm to the patients. The accommodations may not be within the standards for a bed-bound patient’s room. The patient has a risk of contracting a respiratory disease, or having an asthmatic attack, if exposed to high levels of PM1, PM2.5, or PM10 dust that cannot be seen with bare eyes so the risk factor is not easy to notice. The goal of this study was to develop a dust monitoring system for hospital bedrooms using IoT, so that the caregivers can monitor air quality in the room. By applying the Internet of Things (IoTs) technology to communicate between sensors and mobile phones, the internet serves as the medium for communication. The demonstration system in the room was equipped with 5 sensor cluster, each measuring: temperature, humidity and dust sensors for PM1, PM2.5, and PM10. Decision trees were trained to predict the outcome of cases after collecting data. The final decision tree model reached an overall classification accuracy of 92.8%. The system could alert for housekeeping or turn on or off an automatic dust remover based on the amount of dust in the room. It also supports cleaning and dust removal to ensure that the bed patient’s room is appropriate and reduces the risk of respiratory diseases caused by dust.
Object Tracking Using Adaptive Diffusion Flow Active Model
Authors: A. Alwan Israa , A. Almarsoomi Faaza
Published: October 2021

Object tracking is one of the most important topics in the fields of image processing and computer vision. Object tracking is the process of finding interesting moving objects and following them from frame to frame. In this research, Active models–based object tracking algorithm is introduced. Active models are curves placed in an image domain and can evolve to segment the object of interest. Adaptive Diffusion Flow Active Model (ADFAM) is one the most famous types of Active Models. It overcomes the drawbacks of all previous versions of the Active Models specially the leakage problem, noise sensitivity, and long narrow hols or concavities. The ADFAM is well known for its very good capabilities in the segmentation process. In this research, it is adopted for segmentation and tracking purposes. The proposed object tracking algorithm is initiated by detecting the target moving object manually. Then, the ADFAM convergence of the current video frame is reused as an initial estimation for the next video frame and so on. The proposed algorithm is applied to several video sequences, different in terms of the nature of the object, the nature of the background, the speed of the object, object motion direction, and the inter-frame displacement. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performed very well and successfully tracked the target object in all different cases.

The framework also conveys the accompanying characteristics to consider to facilitate the appropriate selection and implementation of these options across grade levels and subject areas. The framework enables teachers to examine each of the options to determine their feasibility to differentiate curriculum to meet the educational expectations for gifted students and the perceived needs of the teaching/learning processes.
Rigor and Relevance
Authors: Trotman Scott Michelle Frazier
Published: October 2021

The term ‘differentiate' is often used in the field of education to signify the modification of learning based on student readiness, learning profile, and academic skills, with changes being made to the depth, pace, and breath of the process (instruction), content (curriculum), and product (students' work and assessments). This chapter will focus on differentiation as it relates to gifted culturally different students, with an emphasis on the inclusion of cultural considerations within learning profiles discuss the necessity of both rigor and cultural relevance in lessons, while also being affirmed by what is taught. The curricula and program challenges within general and gifted classrooms will also be discussed. A brief overview of Bloom's taxonomy and James Banks's multicultural curriculum model will be shared in addition to an overview of Ford's Bloom-Banks matrix along with a revised layout of Trotman Scott's color-coded layout of Ford's matrix with pros and cons for each matrix quadrant.

Diversity of and Differentiation for Gifted English Learners
Authors: Mora-Flores Eugenia
Published: October 2021

This chapter presents a need to understand the diversity of the English learner population. Within this large multi-lingual group of students, there is a richness of diversity in languages, skills, histories, abilities, and experiences. Teaching for differences begins by learning about the students in the classroom. English learners collectively share language needs, but as individuals require attention to their own personal assets and abilities and ongoing learning needs. This chapter presents suggestions for teaching English learners through the lens of differentiation and extends to individualization and personalization. Strategies for supporting the unique needs within and across the multi-lingual learning population are presented. A focus on maximizing thinking shows a strong correlation to language development. Therefore, this chapter presents instruction for English learners as rigorous and challenging to promote thinking and language development.
Recognizing and Developing STEM Talent Among Diverse Populations
Authors: Dailey Debbie , Buchanan Michelle B.
Published: October 2021

STEM talent is often overlooked in underrepresented students resulting in limited opportunities to increase STEM interest and talent inside or outside of school settings. Academically qualified underrepresented students are less likely to be recommended for advanced placement STEM courses causing a racial divide and contributing to a lack of belonging in these courses. Methods to encourage STEM talent development and persistence in students from underrepresented populations include frontloading talent development interventions, creating afterschool or informal STEM programs, providing enrichment opportunities for highly capable students, and creating equitable access to advanced courses. This chapter presents the characteristics of STEM talent in underrepresented populations and strategies to identify high potential students, provides frontloading examples to develop STEM talent, offers examples of effective programming, and suggests instructional strategies to encourage STEM talent development in diverse populations.

The internationalisation of higher education has become increasingly important for many higher education institutions (HEIs) globally. To recruit national and international students, HEIs must invest in effective digital marketing and recruitment strategies. This study investigated the development of a strategic university of choice model that can assist universities in the recruitment of international students. A survey was completed by 306 international students studying at a South African university. The factors identified in this study included academic programme and quality, visa requirements, country/city attractiveness, lectures in English, costs, student life, safety and security, university location, university reputation, and assistance from the international office. The strategic university of choice model could assist university marketing personnel to develop a focused, targeted, and cost-effective digital marketing and recruitment strategy to recruit international students.
Forensic Camera Identification in Social Networks via Camera Fingerprint
Authors: Lin Tzuhuan , Wang Yu-Ru
Published: October 2021

Image-related crimes cause the urgent demand for tracing the origin of digital images. The breakthrough is a passive detection method via photo response non-uniformity (PRNU) analysis proposed by Lukáš et al. Recently, digital images are often shot with handheld devices (such as smartphones) and transmitted using social media (such as LINE). Most of the images are distorted (such as compressed and resized) during transmission. Previous studies are less focused on the impact of transmission compression through social networks. Thirty-one different Apple mobile phones were used to capture digital images in the experiment. Images were uploaded to the photo album via LINE software and then downloaded. The modified signed peak correlation energy (MSPCE) statistics is used to evaluate the correlation between the PRNU values of the disputed images and the pattern noise of the experimental devices. Experimental results show that the PRNU analysis method can effectively trace the source of the shot device using the distorted images which are compressed and resized during the transmission in LINE.
Responsible Investing With Venture Capital
Authors: Gentzoglanis Anastassios
Published: October 2021

More often than not, responsible investing (RI) is associated with “patient” capital and sustainable development. Venture capital (VC), by its objectives to invest in projects with very high returns and exit quickly the market, is rightly considered as “impatient” capital, and as such, it is a less likely candidate to contribute to sustainability. This chapter advances the argument that VC can indeed contribute to sustainability, should it adopt the ESG factors into its investment criteria. This is illustrated using the case study of a Canadian VC firm, the Cycle Capital Management (CCM). The latter uses strict ESG criteria and rigorous decision-making mechanisms in the screening, evaluation, and the choice of highly lucrative and innovative projects with the aim to contribute to the Canadian economy's sustainability through its efforts to reduce the environmental footprint of its investments. Policy makers and regulators should develop policies that promote the growth and development of venture capital, should they care about sustainability and value creation.

The rise of digitalization has inevitably impacted the growth of financial technology (FinTech) in Brunei Darussalam. The presence of e-wallet QR code-based payment system, as part of the Fintech development, deems to be the latest payment mode that hits the retail sector of the Sultanate in recent years. Thus, the chapter is aimed to understand the role and impact of e-wallet application in the retail sector. Despite the positive trending indicators for e-wallet growth amongst the population, the utilization of e-wallet in the retail sector is still quite low. Both driving factors and barriers towards e-wallet utilization in the retail sector are discussed by taking account of the views of both customers and retailers. Recommendation steps are also suggested especially on the roles played by both business and government in empowering this new payment system and to drive the population toward a cashless society and attain a smart nation aspiration.
Green Finance and Sustainable Development
Authors: Hasan Md. Bokhtiar , Hossain Md. Naiem
Published: October 2021

Green finance is currently gaining importance with the growing global resistance to climate change. However, there is limited empirical evidence supporting green finance and economic development nexus considering environmental issues. Despite the fastest growing economy in Asia, Bangladesh still has ambiguity about the role of green finance on sustainable economic growth, though it is already initiated in Bangladesh. Therefore, applying correlation matrix and Granger causality test, this chapter aims to overview the present scenario and identify the role of green finance on sustainable development in Bangladesh from 2014-2019. Hence, it considers GDP growth and CO2 emissions for economic development and climate change issues, respectively, and green finance as the proxy of greening. This study finds that renewable energy consumption and power generation from renewable and waste contribute to green growth. Hence, this study suggests green finance for sustainable development not only in Bangladesh but also in other emerging economies.

A EDUCAÇÃO ESPECIAL NA PERSPECTIVA INCLUSIVA PENSADA A PARTIR DOS PRINCÍPIOS DA PEDAGOGIA FREIREANA
Authors: Cruz Lilian Moreira , Ferreira Lúcia Gracia
Published: October 2021

Este artigo objetiva apresentar as contribuições da trajetória de Paulo Freire para pensar o contexto atual da educação especial na perspectiva inclusiva. Desse modo, realizamos uma pesquisa qualitativa com um recorte bibliográfico a partir de seis obras de Freire e estabelecemos um diálogo com o tema da Educação Especial e Inclusiva. Buscamos explorar aspectos dos escritos do autor para debater com a temática, já que ele não escreveu diretamente sobre o tema, mas debateu-o, profundamente, em suas obras – percepção possível quando realizadas análises de seus escritos. Constatamos que Paulo Freire lutou pela educação e buscou combater demasiadamente o preconceito, a discriminação e a segregação. Seu pensamento contribui para aguçar o olhar sobre a formação docente, o respeito as diferenças, o respeito aos diferentes saberes e modos de aprender, o diálogo, a generosidade, a esperança, enfim, sobre a diversidade. Verificamos que os princípios freireanos – político, axiológico, gnosiológico e epistemológico – perspectivam caminhos possíveis para vivermos em sociedade, alicerçados, principalmente, na equidade, o que nos possibilita pensar numa educação especial que possa ser realmente inclusiva. Dessa forma, entendemos que inserir o pensamento freireano no campo da Educação Especial e Inclusiva é explorar a magnitude de seus ensinamentos.

Authors: Vidal Rita de Cássia Castro , Pinho Maria José de , Rocha José Damião Trindade
Published: October 2021

Este artigo discute algumas questões relacionadas à liberdade, bem como o lugar da espiritualidade na contemporaneidade, problematizando a própria formação humana que, pautada numa visão reducionista e mecanicista da vida, fragmenta o conhecimento, a vida e as relações humanas. Objetivou-se refletir sobre liberdade a partir da servidão, perpassando pelas discussões acerca da liquidez nas relações interpessoais e humanas, assim como questões que tangem à ética, à complexidade, à transdisciplinaridade e aos caminhos para o saber viver. Neste sentido, estabeleceu-se o diálogo entre a liberdade e a espiritualidade inspirado pela epistemologia da Complexidade e a Transdisciplinaridade como forma de adotar uma nova postura diante da vida e dos novos modos de enfrentamento dos problemas contemporâneos.

Authors: Gonçalves Filho Cid , Lima Thiago Silveira , Macedo Wagner , Chinelato Flavia Braga
Published: October 2021

A terceirização de serviços em cadeias de suprimento tem crescido sistematicamente a medida que as empresas tendem a focar em seu core-business. Porém, apesar dos volumosos recursos envolvidos, pouco se sabe sobre os antecedentes do desempenho financeiro e operacional das empresas contratadas. Neste sentido foi elaborada esta pesquisa, que visa compreender como as variáveis relacionais podem afetar e contribuir para a longevidade dos relacionamentos e para o desempenho destas organizações. Para verificar as hipóteses, foi realizado um levantamento com 154 empresas prestadoras de serviços. O modelo de pesquisa proposto identificou principais fatores que fortalecem o relacionamento entre organizações, com ênfase nos antecedentes relacionais da propensão ao término do relacionamento, do desempenho operacional (investimento e comprometimento da contratada) e desempenho financeiro (investimento da tomadora e confiança). Entende-se que este trabalho contribui para o entendimento do fenômeno, sendo o único trabalho que descreve como as variáveis relacionais são antecedentes de seu desempenho operacional e financeiro de fornecedores de serviços.
Sistemas de Marketing, Mercado e Qualidade de Vida: Uma análise a partir do Buen Vivir Andino
Authors: Da Silva Klaus Pereira , Sauerbronn João Felipe Rammelt
Published: October 2021

Estudos sobre desenvolvimento têm sido dominados por uma perspectiva econômica simplificada, pós revolução industrial. O projeto de desenvolvimento neoliberal, disseminado globalmente por agentes supranacionais, operacionalizado por sistemas de marketing complexos em múltiplas escalas, tem negligenciado saberes tradicionais endógenos em regiões periféricas e obscurecido a noção de qualidade de vida e bem-estar. O Buen Vivir, como voz alternativa e resistente a universalidade do modelo neoliberal, fornece uma visão de mundo baseada na cosmovisão relacional, para um pluriverso de possibilidades de se construir novos mundos. Estabelecemos neste ensaio algumas “pontes conceituais” entre o Buen Vivir e sistemas de marketing que podem ampliar a discussão sobre as múltiplas relações entre desenvolvimento, mercados, sistema de marketing, qualidade de vida e bem-estar.

Spatial comparison of herald and main waves in London’s nineteenth-century cholera epidemics
Authors: Peterson Walter
Published: October 2021

Nineteenth-century London experienced four extraordinarily severe summertime cholera epidemics. Three were preceded by less severe non-summer outbreaks. Twenty-first-century research hypothesizes them as herald waves of potentially new cholera strains. This study examined the geographical characteristics of these herald waves and compared them to their subsequent main waves to determine if there was a geographical component to the significant difference in wave severity. Cholera mortality data for London’s parishes and registration districts were extracted from contemporaneous records. The data were normalized and scaled. Each epidemic wave was divided into two segments for analysis. A Spearman’s rank correlation was used to assess the relationship between a herald and its subsequent main wave. Geospatial analytical tools were used to determine and display each segment’s geographic distribution pattern using autocorrelation techniques to determine its central point. Results show that the herald wave of each epidemic shared characteristics similar to its following main wave. Central-point locations were similar and Spearman’s rank coefficients showed high degrees of correlation. Autocorrelation results were similar, with one exception reflecting an appalling anomalous cholera outbreak at an institution for children. Because of the demonstrated similarity of each epidemic’s herald and main waves, this study did not detect a spatial characteristic that could explain the observed difference in severity between the studied heralds and mains.
Spatial accessibility to health care services among children with cerebral palsy in Johor, Peninsular Malaysia

Published: October 2021

Cerebral palsy (CP) is one of the most common causes of disability in childhood, leading to functional limitations and poor nutritional status. Families with CP children face challenges in providing proper care. Thus, accessibility of CP patients to health facilities is important to ensure that they can maintain regular visits to health facilities for proper treatment and care. The current study aimed to map the spatial distribution of CP in Johor, Malaysia and measure the accessibility of CP patients to nearby hospitals, health clinics and community-based rehabilitation centres. The study is based on CP cases in 2017 obtained from the Department of Social Welfare, Malaysia and analysed using the average nearest neighbour, buffer analysis and Kernel Density Estimation. Results indicate that there is generally good access to health care services for many of the CP children in Johor, but for 25% of those living more than 10 km away from the health clinics or community-based rehabilitation centres, regular visits can be a problem. This information should be used for targeted intervention and planning for health care strategies. Furthermore, information on hospital accessibility of CP children would allow for planning of proper and regular treatment for these patients. The study has shown that it is possible to improve the understanding of the distribution of CP cases by integrating spatial analysis using geographical information systems without relying on official information about the density of populations.
Foam sclerotherapy for below knee varicosities after great saphenous ligation and stripping

Published: October 2021

AIMS:

This study aimed to compare the short-term clinical results of multiple foam sclerosant injection (MFSI) and endovenous foam sclerosant perfusion (EFSP) for treating varicose veins (VV) in the lower extremities through.

SUBJECTS AND METHODS:

The study included 111 cases. All patients had high saphenous ligation and stripping just before the foam injection. First-stage sclerotherapy effects, sclerosant dosage, postoperative complications, and other clinical assessments were included as observation items with at least 6 months of follow-up.

RESULTS:

The treatment effects of the 2 VV treatment methods showed no significant difference (P < 0.05) during primary closure. However, EFSP requires a lower sclerosant dosage, resulting in a lower occurrence of thrombophlebitis than that with MFSI (P < 0.05). In the follow-up period, no significant difference in recurrence rate was found between the groups (P > 0.05). Although superficial thrombophlebitis and pigmentation occurred in both groups, the EFSP group appeared to be more prone to remission (P < 0.05), as there were no vein-puncture injuries or factors to cause local hematoma. Superficial thrombophlebitis and skin pigmentation were less in the EFSP than the MSFI group (4.4% vs. 16%; P = 0.033 and 8.8% vs. 30.2%; P = 0.004, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS:

Both MFSI and EPSP visibly affect VV in the lower extremities, but when complications and the simplicity and reproducibility of operation techniques are considered, EFSP appears more worthy of promotion.

We prove that every term of the lower central series and Johnson filtrations of the Torelli subgroups of the mapping class group and the automorphism group of a free group is finitely generated in a linear stable range. This was originally proved for the second terms by Ershov and He.
Prevalence and factors associated with non-use of health services in the Peruvian population with COVID-19 symptomatology: a secondary analysis of the 2020 National Household Survey

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of non-use of health services (NUHS) and its associated factors in Peruvians with symptoms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).METHODS: A secondary analysis of the 2020 National Household Survey (ENAHO) was carried out. Participants over 18 years of age with any COVID-19 symptom (fever, cough, sensation of shortness of breath) in the last 4 weeks who did not visit health services were defined as exhibiting NUHS. Adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) were estimated to determine the factors associated with NUHS.RESULTS: Data from 1,856 participants were analyzed; the prevalence of NUHS was 52.2% (95% confidence interval [CI], 48.0 to 56.5). Living in urban areas of the jungle (aPR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.32 to 1.98; p<0.001) and rural areas of the jungle (aPR, 1.48; 95% CI, 1.15 to 1.90; p=0.002) was associated with a higher probability of NUHS than living in urban coastal areas. The factors associated with a lower probability of NUHS were being 50-59 years old (aPR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.58 to 0.90) and 60 years and over (aPR, 0.74; 95% CI, 0.59 to 0.95), having a secondary educational level (aPR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.93) or superior educational level (aPR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.48 to 0.96), and having health insurance (aPR, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.68 to 0.92).CONCLUSIONS: More than half of the participants with COVID-19 symptoms did not use health services, and NUHS was associated with the geographic and socio-demographic characteristics of the population. The formulation of health strategies and programs is required to increase the use of health services by people with COVID-19 symptoms.

في علم اللغة، يستخدم المنهج المقارن (comparative method) لمعرفة العلاقات التاريخية بين اللغات المختلفة وردها للغة واحدة، تُسمى عادة باللغة الأم. وقد أثبت هذا المنهج دقة ونجاحا في الكثير من الأحيان لا سيما في ردّ اللغات الهندية الأوربية لأصلها وجمعها تحت مظلة عائلة واحدة. لكن يبدو أن هذا المنهج لا يمكن تطبيقه على بعض اللغات، وفي هذا البحث، يعرض الباحث لمنهج اللسانيات المقارنة أولا ثم يوضح آلية العمل به وكيفية تطبيقه ثم يناقش بعض الأمثلة لشرح كيف أن هذا المنهج غير قابل للتطبيق في بعض الحالات، وأخيرا يختتم البحث بالحديث عن علم اللغة التقابلي وشرح منهجه، وكيف يمكن الإفادة من هذا المنهج للتوصل إلى العلاقات التاريخية بين اللغات المختلفة التي لا يمكن استخدام المنهج المقارن معها، وتأكيد العلاقات التاريخية بين اللغات التي سبق أن تم استخدامه معها.
البدون في الرواية الكويتية -مقاربة ثقافية-

: يهتم هذا البحث بالكشف عن كيفية تمثل قضية البدون في الرواية الكويتية؛ إذ يحاول مقاربة نصوص روائية لا من حيث جماليتها، وإنما من حيث ما تطرحه حول هذه القضية في أنساق ثقافية وفكرية متباينة، فالنصوص الروائية هنا خطاب اجتماعي وثقافي وليست نصوصاً أدبية فحسب. وقد شكلت علاقة نصوص الرواية بالثقافة ثلاثة خطابات: خطاب هيمنة الأنساق الثقافية، وهو خطاب عام ينطلق من التقاليد الثقافية للمجتمع، وخطاب مواجهة الأنساق الثقافية لكنه يكرس الهيمنة كذلك، وخطاب الأنساق المضمرة الذي يشكل ثورة على السائد وقلبًا لموازينه، وهذان الأخيران يشكلان بدورهما نسقين خاصين يمثلان الرؤية الفردية التي تبتعد عن الرؤية الجمعية السائدة للثقافة.
