VARIATION OF THE DNIEPER BASIN HYDRONYMY
ON THE TERRITORY OF THE SMOLENSK REGION
Authors: Aldinger Pavel
Published: May 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Dnieper water bodies nominations on the territory of the Smolensk region. The research is aimed at consideration of the most important onomastic problem at present – variation in the sphere of the proper names, particularly in the hydronymy. Amidst the regional onomastic development, the research in the sphere

of toponymy and hydronymy is being actively carried out, toponymic dictionaries are being published. In these dictionaries the variants of the geographical objects are often only marked down. However, more focused attention to the revealing

and describing the reasons and methods of their variation allows the researchers to carry out more detailed diachronic analysis of the onyms existence in the different historical periods and define the invariants formation. The most interesting field of research is the toponymy and hydronymy study of the Smolensk region – western border region of Russia. The material of

the research is based on the military-topographical map of Smolensk Governorate, large scale maps and an atlas of the Smolensk region, as well as written information sources. The author has analyzed the examples of the orthographical,

phonetical, morphological and lexical variants of hydronyms and has tried to reveal the linguistic and extralinguistic reasons of the water bodies nominations variation in this region.

It is proved that the hydronyms variants origin is typical for small water currents; it is linked with their shallowing and the loss of their significance in the economic life of the population. The predominance of the phonetical variants is explained by the influence of the general-linguistic process, a local dialect lect, a living colloquial language. The variation on the word formation level is widely represented by diminutive forms as a result of the changes in the water currents physico-geographical parameters.

Lexical variation of the hydronyms in the region depends on the nominations de-etymologisation. Moreover, in the analyzed region the author has found out a lot of variants of hydronyms with changes at different language levels. Linguistic

and extralinguistic reasons of variation in hydronymy are closely linked. This fact can make it more difficult to determine the method of the new variant creation. The analyzed factual material will be practically used in the «Hydronym’s Dictionary of the Smolensk Region», which will be published soon.
RESTORATION OF THE DONBASS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
NETWORK IN THE POST-WAR PERIOD (1943–1954)
Authors: Shatokhina Mariya
Published: May 2020

The article is devoted to the peculiarities pointed out in the process of restoration of universities network, vocational and comprehensive schools in the post-war period, namely, the legislative activity in the educational field, the revival

of the educational and technical base, recruitment of the teaching staff. The importance of a comprehensive research of the period under the study is vital due to the social and political events and their impact on the revival and development of the Donbass region, as well as the USSR as a whole. Teachers and pupils of schools, professors and students of secondary

and higher educational institutions began to restore the educational institutions immediately after the Donbass liberation from the Nazis in 1943. In the first post-war year, due to common efforts, it was possible to resume the educational process almost in all educational institutions. In connection with the law «On

Compulsory Education for Children from the Age of Seven», the educational system was given a task to cover all school-age children and adolescents who had not attended school for several years because of hostilities and occupation. Consequently, every month the number of students increased, which led to an

acute shortage of teaching staff. This problem was insoluble, since many teachers continued to serve in the Red Army or died while doing military duties to the Motherland. In restoration of the regional industry there was need for highly

qualified personnel, who were able to fill the reviving Donbass enterprises thanks to the well-established work of secondary and higher vocational educational institutions. In disclosing the topic, a special place is given to archival sources, the analysis of which made it possible to comprehensively study the problematic issues

of that period and determine future prospects of the research.

Nanoparticles have achieved novel applications in biotechnology and agricultural industries. Nanoparticles on plants may cover a new insight to the ecosystems. There is a need for advance study of the possible effects of the nanoparticles on plant growth and development. In the present investigation, zinc oxide nanoparticles have been prepared by the simple chemical route and were authorized by UV-vis spectrophotometer and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis alongwith transmission electron microscope (TEM). The consequence of various concentrations of synthesized zinc oxide nanoparticles on wheat seeds (variety: lok-1) was studied by soaking approach and follow its effect on seedling growth of wheat (at 5 days). The seed germination, plant growth & chlorophyll content characteristics were measured by using standard biophysical techniques and studied. Results showed enhancement in germination and growth characteristics in five days grown wheat seedlings for control upto thousand ppm. Above thousand ppm, the considerable drop off was observed in these parameters upto two thousand ppm. Also, the chlorophyll content in the control sample is greater than the samples treated with the various concentrations of zinc oxide nanoparticles. There was a noticeable effect that employing suitable concentration of ZnO nanoparticles could support the seed germination of wheat in contrast to untreated control.

This project proposes and evaluates an algorithm to automatically detect cataract from colored images of adult human subjects. The methods currently available make use of DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) cameras which are very expensive thereby, making the whole process expensive. The main objective of this project is to provide a robust and affordable alternative to the classic treatment method which adopts the above methods. In this project via an algorithm we aim to diagnose the presence of cataract from the true colour images of an eye. The algorithm proposed makes use of OpenCV for cataract screening based on textural features such as uniformity, intensity and standard deviation. These features are first computed and mapped using Data Mining techniques after consultation with an eye expert to define the basic threshold of screening system and later tested on real subjects in an eye clinic. Pre-processing includes conservative smoothing followed by image de-noising. The isotropic Gaussian filter is widely used as a low pass filter for image de-noising.Feature extraction is done after pre-processing to extract all the information for cataract detection from the eye’s pupil region. The extracted parameters were compared with the values obtained from an ophthalmologist to determine the presence of Cataract in the eye of the patient. Finally, a tele-ophthalmology model using our proposed system has been suggested, which confirms the telemedicine application of the proposed system.

Diagnosis, Monitoring, and Management of Adverse Events From Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy
Authors: Khan O.F. , Monzon J.
Published: May 2020

Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy (icit) is now a standard of care for a variety of cancers in both the metastatic and adjuvant settings. As a result, an understanding of the timing, epidemiology, monitoring, diagnosis, and management of immune-related adverse events (iraes) associated with icit is imperative. This article reviews specific iraes by organ system, consolidating recommendations from multiple guidelines and incorporating data from case reports to highlight additional evolving therapeutic options for patients. Managing iraes requires early recognition, early intervention, and education of the patients and the multidisciplinary health care team alike. Given the durable responses observed with icit, and the irreversible nature of some of the iraes, further research into management of the sequelae of icit is required.
Immunotherapy in Hematologic Malignancies
Authors: Kansara R.R. , Speziali C.
Published: May 2020

The management of hematologic malignancies has traditionally relied on chemotherapy regimens, many of which are still in use today. However, with advancements in the knowledge of tumour pathophysiology, therapies are continually evolving. Monoclonal antibodies against specific targets on tumour cells are now widely used to treat hematologic malignancies, either in combination with chemotherapy or as single agents. Rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against the CD20 antigen, is a good example of successful monoclonal antibody therapy that has improved outcomes for patients with B cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Monoclonal antibodies are now being used against the immune checkpoints that function to inhibit T cell activation and subsequent tumour eradication by those cytotoxic T cells. Such therapies enhance T cell–mediated tumour eradication and are widely successful in treating patients with solid tumours such as malignant melanoma. Now, they are slowly finding their place in the management of hematologic neoplasms. Even though, currently, immune checkpoint inhibitors are used for relapsed or refractory hematologic neoplasms, trials are ongoing to evaluate their role in frontline treatment. Our review focuses on the current use of immunotherapies in various hematologic malignancies.
Immuno-Oncology—The New Paradigm of Lung Cancer Treatment
Authors: Dawe D.E. , Harlos C.H. , Juergens R.A.
Published: May 2020

Systemic therapy is an essential part of treatment for all patients with small-cell lung cancer (sclc) and for most patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc). Standards of care have evolved dramatically since 2009, especially in the setting of incurable or advanced nsclc. Part of that evolution has been the incorporation of immuno-oncology drugs, especially immune checkpoint inhibitors (icis) into multiple therapeutic scenarios. In the present review, we discuss the role of the immune system in lung cancer and the previous failures of immunotherapy for patients with lung cancer. We then provide an overview of the existing evidence for the use of icis in patients with advanced nsclc that is either treatment-naïve or pretreated, for consolidative treatment after chemoradiotherapy in stage iii nsclc, and for palliative therapy in patients with sclc. Finally, we discuss duration of treatment, special populations, and the future of immuno-oncology for patients with lung cancer. Overall, we provide an evidence-based snapshot of immuno-oncology agents in the treatment of lung cancer up to early 2019.
Nivolumab in Metastatic Melanoma: Good Efficacy and Tolerability in Elderly Patients
Authors: De Luca R. , Meraviglia S. , Blasi L. , Maiorana A. , Cicero G.
Published: May 2020

Background: Nivolumab is an anti–PD-1 antibody that restores the antitumour immune function of T cells, blocking the binding of PD-1 with its ligand PD-L1. PD-1 is expressed on T cells and interacts with PD-L1 on tumour cells. The PD-1–PD-L1 link inhibits T cell activation. In metastatic melanoma, PD-1–PD-L1 binding plays a critical role, and the advent of the immune checkpoint inhibitor nivolumab has delivered new and effective treatment options with proven clinical benefit. In the present study, we evaluated the efficacy of nivolumab in elderly patients with metastatic melanoma. Methods: The study enrolled 55 elderly patients (75 years of age and older) with a diagnosis of metastatic melanoma. Primary endpoints of the study were progression-free survival (PFS) and the objective response rate; secondary endpoints were overall survival, reduction in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) from before to after treatment, and tolerability. Results: Nivolumab was well tolerated and resulted in good disease control, with a manageable toxicity profile and significant clinical benefit. The duration of PFS was 5.1 months (95% confidence interval: 3.5 months to 6.8 months). A significant correlation was observed between reduction in serum LDH and PFS: 0.60 (95% confidence interval: 0.28 to 0.86; p = 0.002). Conclusions: Nivolumab is an immunotherapy treatment that has proved to be an effective and well-tolerated therapeutic option in elderly patients with metastatic melanoma.
Biomarkers of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Efficacy in Cancer
Authors: Meyers D.E. , Banerji S.
Published: May 2020

Immune checkpoint inhibitor–based therapies that target ctla-4, PD-1, or the PD-1 ligand PD-L1 have received approval in Canada and many parts of the world for the treatment of melanoma, renal cell cancer, urothelial cancer, classical Hodgkin lymphoma, and non-small-cell lung cancer. However only a small proportion of patients derive long-term clinical benefit. Here, we describe the biomarkers associated with the complex relationship between tumour-related immune stimulus, T cell–mediated immune response, and immune modulation of the microenvironment that can help to predict improved patient outcomes.

Authors: Arnaout A. , Varela N.P. , Allarakhia M. , Grimard L. , Hey A. , Lau J. , Thain L. , Eisen A.
Published: May 2020

Background: In Ontario, there is no clearly defined standard of care for staging for distant metastasis in women with newly diagnosed and biopsy-confirmed breast cancer whose clinical presentation is suggestive of early-stage disease. This guideline addresses baseline imaging investigations for women with newly diagnosed primary breast cancer who are otherwise asymptomatic for distant metastasis. Methods: The medline and embase databases were systematically searched for evidence from January 2000 to April 2019, and the best available evidence was used to draft recommendations relevant to the use of baseline imaging investigation in women with newly diagnosed primary breast cancer who are otherwise asymptomatic. Final approval of this practice guideline was obtained from both the Staging in Early Stage Breast Cancer Advisory Committee and the Report Approval Panel of the Program in Evidence-Based Care. Recommendations: These recommendations apply to all women with newly diagnosed primary breast cancer (originating in the breast) who have no symptoms of distant metastasis Staging tests using conventional anatomic imaging [chest radiography, liver ultrasonography, chest–abdomen–pelvis computed tomography (ct)] or metabolic imaging modalities [integrated positron-emission tomography (pet)/ct, integrated pet/magnetic resonance imaging (mri), bone scintigraphy] should not be routinely ordered for women newly diagnosed with clinical stage i or stage ii breast cancer who have no symptoms of distant metastasis, regardless of biomarker status. In women newly diagnosed with stage iii breast cancer, baseline staging tests using either anatomic imaging (chest radiography, liver ultrasonography, chest–abdomen–pelvis ct) or metabolic imaging modalities (pet/ct, pet/mri, bone scintigraphy) should be considered regardless of whether the patient is symptomatic for distant metastasis and regardless of biomarker profile.

Published: May 2020

Background: Patient-reported outcomes (pros) are essential to capture the patient’s perspective and to influence care. Although pros and pro measures are known to have many important benefits, they are not consistently being used and there is there no Canadian pros oversight. The Position Statement presented here is the first step toward supporting the implementation of pros in the Canadian health care setting. Methods: The Canadian pros National Steering Committee drafted position statements, which were submitted for stakeholder feedback before, during, and after the first National Canadian Patient Reported Outcomes (canpros) scientific conference, 14–15 November 2019 in Calgary, Alberta. In addition to the stakeholder feedback cycle, a patient advocate group submitted a section to capture the patient voice. Results: The canpros Position Statement is an outcome of the 2019 canpros scientific conference, with an oncology focus. The Position Statement is categorized into 6 sections covering 4 theme areas: Patient and Families, Health Policy, Clinical Implementation, and Research. The patient voice perfectly mirrors the recommendations that the experts reached by consensus and provides an overriding impetus for the use of pros in health care. Conclusions: Although our vision of pros transforming the health care system to be more patient-centred is still aspirational, the Position Statement presented here takes a first step toward providing recommendations in key areas to align Canadian efforts. The Position Statement is directed toward a health policy audience; future iterations will target other audiences, including researchers, clinicians, and patients. Our intent is that future versions will broaden the focus to include chronic diseases beyond cancer.

Published: May 2020

Osteoporosis, falls and low-energy fractures have a high prevalence in elderly, which is increasing in the presence of diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM). Patients with T2DM have a low rate of bone metabolism, a pronounced change in bone microarchitecture. The use of trabecular bone score in evaluating of densitometry and the FRAX scale improves the sensitivity of the methods in patients with diabetes. Integrated approach is required in elderly patient with type 2 diabetes and includes assessment of geriatric status, diabetes status, correction of multiple complications of diabetes, carbohydrate metabolism, vitamin D deficiency, selection of the most effective hypoglycemic and anti-osteoporetic therapy and development of preventive and treatment methods aimed to reduce falls risk and fractures rate.
Nihilismo existencial en Miau
Authors: Higuero Francisco Javier
Published: May 2020

La novela Miau de Benito Pérez Galdós puede ser considerada como una muestra del realismo literario que, aunque contextualizado en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, desarrolla algunos temas tratados por pensadores del siglo XX, tales como Franz Kafka, Albert Camus y Jean-Paul Sartre, entre otros. Uno de los personajes principales de Miau, llamado don Ramón Villaamil, se convierte en víctima de un estrepitoso colapsamiento a la hora de proyectar una finalidad clara a su marginada existencia, repleta de escasez, soledad y manifiesta alienación. Con frecuencia sus expresiones consisten en monólogos verbales, sin que se evidencie la menor interacción significativa con otros personajes, convertidos, a su vez, en víctimas de ineludibles carencias financieras. Desde planteamientos narratológicos, esta circunstancia se materializa no solo en un motivo actante que mueve la trayectoria diegética de la historia relatada, sino también en causa de manifiesta desesperación y hasta de un inevitable nihilismo, cerrado a cualquier posibilidad de corrección o razonamiento lógico.
DEVELOPMENT OF KHINA SERIES COCONUT VARIETIES IN INDONESIA
Authors: Dr. D. V. Liyanage
Published: May 2020

A project for coconut development in Indonesia was initiated in 1972 with assistance from UNDP/FAO and Research Institute for Industrial Crops (LPTI), Bogor as the Counter‑part Agency. Emphasis of research was on breeding and agronomy. Production of KHINA series of coconut varieties was an accomplishment of breeders attached to the project. They were D. V. Liyanage, H. Luntungan, A. Djisbar and T. Mankey. In the initial stages, particularly during germplasm surveys, Ch. P. Corputty and H. Sudasrip were associated.

 

Research on breeding included coconut germplasm surveys in Indonesia, hybridization of selected palms within selected populations and testing progenies. That involved considerable travelling, labour, patience and a barrage of criticism. The agony and joy, breeders experienced in production of KHINA series of coconut varieties are outlined in this paper.
PRODUCTION RESPONSE TO PRICES IN THE COCONUT INDUSTRY OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA: A COMMENT ON THE METHODOLOGY AND A RE ESTIMATION
Authors: Premasiri J. Gunawardana
Published: May 2020

Analytical studies on the supply response of growers in the major crop sectors in Papua New Guinea (PNG) are scarce. For this reason, De Silva, Kiele and Lagap (DKL, 1987) must be congratulated for their pioneering attempt at analysing the pro­duction response to changes in prices in the coconut sector of the country. However, in their analysis there are several short‑comings of a methodological and empirical nature. The purpose of this note is to highlight these shortcomings and offer altemative estima­tions and interpretations about the nature of production response to price changes in the coconut sector.
As mulheres erveiras do Ver-O-Peso e os olhares patrimoniais
Authors: Vieira Laura Carolina
Published: May 2020

O Complexo do Ver-o-Peso é maior feira atacadista e varejista do norte brasileiro. Situado em Belém, na capital do Estado do Pará, reúne variada biodiversidade amazônica, assim como costumes, práticas e saberes comuns a região. A partir da sua etnografia, em especial o Setor das Ervas, tradicional seção da feira, a pesquisa examina a inferência da qualidade patrimonial acerca da imagem das mulheres feirantes ali trabalhadoras – as erveiras. Apoiando-se na análise dos processos de patrimonialização e inventário dos elementos históricos, paisagísticos, arquitetônicos e culturais do Complexo do Ver-o-Peso, discute-se o valor do patrimônio e bem cultural como formas de destaque para o consumo turístico e de lazer da feira. As erveiras, associadas com os saberes tradicionais populares intrínsecos as suas atividades, são perspectivadas por discursos patrimoniais que percebem nelas potencial cultural atrativo para tais fins. Essas intenções apoiam-se no recorte de gênero, objetificação e exotização, causando essencializações das suas figuras, propiciando estigmas e desbotando suas agências e configurações como sujeitas cidadãs, comerciantes, profissionais e sabedoras.

Este artigo busca expor parte da complexidade do conhecimento dos boiadeiros que conviviam com as diversas paisagens presentes pelos caminhos nos anos de 1915 a 1940. Desta maneira, analisamos a prática do manejo do gado, entendendo-a como inserida nas diversas paisagens relacionadas aos marcos referenciais. Indagamos ainda sobre os significados atribuídos à natureza no percurso das viagens, o que esta influenciava diretamente na definição de roteiros das comitivas, valorizando o conhecimento dos boiadeiros. Assim, buscou-se descrever o universo cultural do condutor e peão de boiadeiro dentro da estrutura e cotidiano de seu trabalho. Neste âmbito, a interpretação de dados bibliográficos proporcionou uma discussão sobre as adaptações no modo de vida desses sujeitos referente ao conhecimento adquirido nas viagens e sua influência deixada nos lugares por onde passavam. O estudo enfatiza a contribuição desses sujeitos não apenas na configuração social e econômica, mas também cultural da região do Noroeste paulista.
Turbulência de ideias: Sílvio Romero, entre a crítica literária e a sociologia de seu tempo (1851-1914)
Authors: da Costa Filho Cícero João
Published: May 2020

Sílvio Romero foi um importante interprete do Brasil, da década 1870. Imbuído de ideias naturalistas, oriundas da Europa, o polígrafo combateu a visão tupiniquim do romantismo brasileiro, alegando ser esta uma visão irreal, mística e fantasiosa. Polêmico e preocupado com questões pertinentes ao progresso do país, Romero se enveredou pelos ensinamentos de Le Play, com o objetivo de esquadrinhar as diversas regiões do Brasil, se certificando da índole do brasileiro, para repará-lo. Escrevendo em tom de denúncia, Romero polemizou com diversos escritores, acreditando na força da ciência e de seus estudos, influenciados por Spencer, Gobineau, Ammon e Lapouge. Nacionalista e inquieto, Romero buscou encontrar o brasileiro a partir do que acreditava ser sua fundamentação, no caso, seu caráter, se desdobrando em valores e atributos morais. Constando a índole apática do brasileiro, apostou nas observações da Escola de Le Play para reparar o quadro pobre e miserável do Brasil de sua época.

Authors: da Silva Igor Maciel , Mayor Sarah Teixeira Soutto
Published: May 2020

O objetivo do artigo é apresentar pistas sobre a presença das mulheres de Barbacena - MG no atletismo no início do século XX. Busca responder às seguintes questões: quem foram essas mulheres, como se inseriram na prática, quais sentidos e significados de sua participação. A metodologia é a análise de fontes periódicas, em específico, o jornal Cidade de Barbacena. Como resultado preliminar, concluímos que as atletas eram as jovens da região que se inseriram na modalidade mediante o fato de serem torcedoras do time de futebol Olympic Sport Club. Os sentidos e significados remetem a um lugar secundário conferido a elas no cenário esportivo, com uma participação limitada e destacada por caracteres relacionados à estética, ainda que essa participação representasse possibilidades de enfrentamento de barreiras sociais e de emancipação.

TOPOLOGICAL STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF CHINA'S NEW ENERGY STOCK MARKET: A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL DATA NETWORK PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Yin Kedong , Liu Zhe , Huang Chong , Liu Peide
Published: May 2020

In this paper, we apply an RV coefficient network to investigate the topological structure of China’s new energy stock market via daily prices of 60 component stocks of CSI (China Stock Index) New Energy Index spanning the period January 4, 2012 to March 29, 2019. Compared with the Pearson correlation coefficient, RV coefficient can better reflect the similarity between stocks from the perspective of multi-dimensional data. The empirical result indicates that (1) the scale-free characteristics of China’s new energy stock market are not significant; (2) the new energy storage is the leading sub-sector of the new energy sector and the new energy interactive equipment plays a connecting role between renewable energy production and new energy storage; (3) the most influential stock in the network is Group DMEGC Magnetics Co., Ltd., Xiamen Tungsten Co., Ltd. and GEM Co., Ltd. play an important role in the network connection. These findings are of great significance to understand the interaction between Chinese new energy stocks and the pricing mechanism of stocks. The authority should pay more attention to the new energy storage industry. Investor’s portfolios can be optimized according to the influence assessment of stocks and sub-sectors.
Delirium Among Hospitalized Older Adults in Thailand: An Integrative Review
Authors: Chang Hui Chen (Rita) , Neal Kathleen , Traynor Victoria , Ho Mu-Hsing , Kankom Wassana
Published: May 2020

The current integrative review explored the prevalence of delirium among Thai older adults and the role of nurses and physicians in detecting delirium. Several academic databases were searched for relevant studies using a set of predetermined search terms and limits. Study quality was assessed using the National Health and Medical Research Council's Principles of Peer Review. Thirteen studies were reviewed, and three themes were identified: (a)
Epidemiology
(
n
= 9), (b)
Detection
(
n
= 5), and (c)
Role of Nurses and Physicians
(
n
= 4). Higher priority cases were treated for immediate problems by physicians, but they did not routinely screen for delirium, which remained underdiagnosed. Lack of delirium screening guidelines or protocols was found to be the greatest barrier to detection. The ability of nurses to perform delirium screening was disregarded in most studies. There is limited research exploring delirium in Thai older adults, including lack of guidelines or protocols for health care professionals and lack of knowledge of delirium detection, management, and prevention. Further validation of screening tools and developing the training of health care professionals, specific to detecting delirium, is required. [

Relationship Between Caregiver Burden and Family Functioning in Family Caregivers of Older Adults With Heart Failure
Authors: Ghasemi Mahdieh , Arab Mansoor , Mangolian Shahrbabaki Parvin
Published: May 2020

Caregivers of individuals with heart failure are at high risk for diminished quality of life because of the energy involved in providing necessary care. Caring for someone with chronic heart failure can affect caregivers' physical, psychological, and social health, collectively referred to as the
burden of care
, and may also affect family functioning. The current cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between caregiver burden and family functioning in caregivers of older adults with heart failure in southeastern Iran using the Zarit Burden Inventory and the Family Assessment Device based on the McMaster Model of Family Functioning. The Pearson correlation coefficient, independent
t
test, and analysis of variance were used to determine relationships among variables. Results showed a significant correlation between burden of care and total score of family functioning. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to reduce burden of care for caregivers through education and support programs and to improve their family functioning and quality of life. [

Comparison Between Parental Observations and Clinical Evaluation Findings in Korean Pediatric Patients With Intermittent Exotropia
Authors: Son Wonyung , Kim Won Jae
Published: May 2020

Purpose:

To compare parental observations with the clinical evaluation findings in pediatric patients with intermittent exotropia and evaluate the clinical factors associated with the parental observations.

Methods:

This prospective study included either one or both parents of pediatric patients with intermittent exotropia who visited the clinic between January and May 2019. The parental observations were assessed through a questionnaire that included questions on the age of onset, usually deviated eye, degree of awareness, and frequency of exotropia. These findings were compared with those of the clinical evaluations, including the amount of ocular deviation and level of control.

Results:

A total of 100 parents (mean age: 39.7 years; 78 women) of 95 pediatric patients (mean age: 8.2 years; 47 girls) with intermittent exotropia participated in the study. The parental observation and clinical evaluation findings on the usually deviated eye showed good concordance (74%). The degree of parental awareness did not show any association with the amount of deviation. However, it showed a statistically significant increase associated with the worsening level of distance control (
P
= .04). The parental observations of the frequency of exotropia significantly increased with the worsening of the level of near (
P
= .037) and overall (
P
= .019) control.

Conclusions:

Parental observations are more likely to correlate with the level of control than with the amount of ocular deviation in pediatric patients with intermittent exotropia.

Management of small retention ponds and their impact on flood hazard prevention in the Slovenske Gorice Hills
Authors: Ferk Mateja , Ciglič Rok , Komac Blaž , Loczy Dénes
Published: May 2020

One of the methods of water resource management is to construct small retention ponds. Within the framework of the “Possible ecological control of flood hazard in the hilly regions of Hungary and Slovenia“ project the management of small ponds and their impact on flood prevention were studied in selected catchments. Data on pond management were gathered from interviews with pond owners. In a pilot study, we conducted an inventarisation and classification of all retention ponds. Primarily they were constructed for more specific use: fishing, irrigation, watering livestock. These functions have been gradually replaced by leisure-time activities, aesthetics, and tourism. Spring, stream and rainfall-fed ponds prevail in the pilot area and reduce the flood risk. Due to the increased variability of precipitation patterns ponds are also becoming an important measure to limit drought consequences at a local level.
Religions de l’Asie du Sud-Est
Authors: Bourdeaux Pascal
Published: May 2020

Au cours de l’année 2015-2016, le séminaire portant sur les religions de l’Asie du Sud-Est a repris sur un rythme hebdomadaire régulier après trois années d’interruption. La raison de celle-ci avait été notre mise en délégation à l’École française d’Extrême-Orient pour une durée de deux ans, prolongée finalement d’une troisième année, pendant laquelle nous avons assuré l’ouverture d’une antenne de l’EFEO à Hô Chi Minh-Ville. Nous y avons mis en œuvre, entre septembre 2012 et août 2015, un programme de recherche intitulé « Culture et environnement du Sud du Vietnam : perspectives historiques, approches contemporaines » qui est, depuis lors, animé par les collègues de l’École française d’Extrême-Orient et auquel nous contribuons de façon sporadique.
Religion de l’Égypte ancienne
Authors: Coulon Laurent
Published: May 2020

Pour la première partie du séminaire, consacrée à une recherche diachronique sur le développement du culte osirien en Égypte ancienne du IIe au Ier millénaire av. J.-C., l’enquête a été centrée sur le fétiche d’Abydos, dont le culte est appréhendé à travers son développement au sein de la métropole osirienne dont il est l’emblème, mais également à travers sa diffusion à Thèbes et dans divers autres sites. Cette année, ce sont les sources relatives au culte du fétiche à Abydos, du Moyen Empire jusqu’à l’époque ramesside, qui ont été étudiées. Dans la deuxième partie du séminaire, consacrée à la lecture d’inscriptions sacerdotales thébaines, l’étude s’est concentrée sur des documents de la XXXe dynastie et du début de l’époque ptolémaïque, pour une bonne part issus de la Cachette de Karnak, qui appartiennent à deux dossiers prosopographiques contemporains l’un de l’autre : la famille de Nesmin, propriétaire du papyrus Bremner-Rhind, et celle des prêtres osiriens enterrés dans la tombe d’Ânkh-hor.
La culture gréco-romaine et le milieu rabbinique ou la question de l’identité juive en Palestine romaine
Authors: Friedheim Emmanuel
Published: May 2020

La formation du milieu rabbinique après la dévastation de Jérusalem et de son temple en 70 de notre ère et sa place au sein de l’hétérogénéité sociale des Judéens de Palestine au temps de la Mishna et du Talmud (IIe-IIIe siècles), demeure un sujet complexe et débattu dans la recherche historique traitant du judaïsme ancien. L’implication du monde rabbinique dans le contexte politique et économique de la Palestine romaine, devait supposer une connaissance significative du grec, vecteur incontournable des relations sociales avec la culture non-juive locale. On prétendit cependant pendant des années que la maîtrise du grec parmi les Sages, était extrêmement réduite, voire médiocre…
