An Unusual Observation of Oral Multifocal Epithelial Hyperplasia in Elderly Man
Authors: Azzez Sarra , Chkoundali Sarah , Bellalah Ahlem , Khemiss Mehdi , Khelifa Mohamed Ben
Published: April 2022

Multifocal epithelial hyperplasia or Heck's disease is uncommon, contagious, asymptomatic, and benign disease affecting the oral mucosa caused by some subtypes of human papilloma virus, especially subtypes 13 or 32. It affects mostly pediatric patients and adolescents in certain geographical regions and ethnic groups. Clinically, the lesion is characterized by the presence of multiple soft papules or nodules in the oral cavity. This paper reports a Tunisian case of 52-year-old man presented with Heck’s disease. The diagnosis is based on both clinical aspect and histopathological features. Clinicians should be familiar with this rare oral disease, which can even affect elderly patients as reported in our case. Treatment is not mandatory and may be indicated when there is esthetic and/or functional impairment.
Nutritive Value of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) as Economical and Alternative Feedstuff for Poultry Diet
Authors: Ali Shah Syed Rizwan , Çetingül Ibrahim Sadi
Published: April 2022

Recently, insects have gained importance as viable protein-rich feedstuff with better productivity and feed efficiency for livestock and pet animal feeds. The most potential species are the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens), yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), and common house fly (Musca domestica). Amongst these insects, the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) contains high protein and fat with the amino acid profile in H. illucens larvae equivalent to that of various protein-rich feedstuffs, such as fish meal and soybean meal. This review aimed to illustrate the reputation of black soldier fly larva meal as a substitute to conservative, expensive, and ecologically threatening crops by guaranteeing a productive, inexpensive, organic, and perpetual source of non-conventional protein feedstuff for poultry production of broilers and layers. It can be concluded that the black soldier fly sometimes has very similar and significant effects on the productivity, health, and product quality of birds, compared to soybean and fishmeal.
Why at the start of the Fourth Industrial Revolution do we see a rise in cult-type Pentecostal churches in South Africa?
Authors: Maria Frahm-Arp
Published: April 2022

In 2013, we saw one of the first broad-based consumer applications of Article Intelligence in Apple and Smartphone devices that began to predict how we wrote text messages. This was just one example of how the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) began, and how it directly affected our lives. Klaus Schwab, the founder and executive chairman of the World Economic Forum, first coined the term ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’ to describe the new era of machine and human augmentation and integration. He suggests that this is a time of enormous promise as machines can enhance the way people live, but if we are left behind by this revolution or it is not correctly regulated, it could also be a time of increasing peril for humanity (Schwab 2016).
Digital media, literacies and African literature
Authors: Pier Paolo Frassinelli  , Lisa Treffry-Goatley
Published: April 2022

In this article, we explore the impact of digital media on African literacy practices and literature. As our starting point, we want to problematise the notion that digital media spell doom for reading generally and for African literature in particular. Versions of this argument include perturbations that ‘African readerships are under siege’ by ‘the cost of books, varying degrees of general literacy, inadequate library services and the seductions of the web and social media’ (Ojwang and Titlestad, 2014)
Перспективні напрямки застосування нейронних мереж у конструкторській діяльності
Authors: Koshel А.
Published: April 2022

У статті описано перспективні напрямки застосування нейронних мереж у конструкторській діяльності. Наголошено, що в умовах сьогодення нейромережеві технології знайшли застосування в економіці, медицині, промисловості, багатьох інших галузях науки і техніки, здатні вирішувати практично будь-які завдання, пов'язані з моделюванням, прогнозуванням, оптимізацією. Наголошено на проблематиці дослідження, підкреслено, що виробничі процеси характеризуються величезним розмаїттям динамічно взаємодіючих параметрів і зазвичай надто складні до створення адекватних аналітичних моделей, а у деяких випадках вдалі з погляду адекватності описуваному процесу аналітичні математичні моделі виявляються неспроможними через високі вимоги до обчислювальної потужності. Запропоновано дві моделі нейронних мереж: глибока нейронна мережа та згорткова нейронна мережа, робота яких направлена на використання у конструкторській діяльності яка спрямована на проектування лонжерону автомобіля. Описано та схематично запропоновано блок-схему зворотного проектування профілів лонжеронів, а також сформовано багатошарову архітектуру згорткової нейронної мережі, яка використовується у конструкторській діяльності, яка складається із згорткового шару, шару об’єднання та повністю пов’язаного шару та сформовано архітектуру глибокої нейронної мережі, яка використовується у конструкторській діяльності направленій на проектування лонжерону автомобіля. Наголошено, що на відміну від моделі згорткової нейронної мережі, дані навантаження розглядаються як ціле, а не поділяються на статичні та динамічні, а зворотне проектування з використанням глибокої нейронної мережі здійснюється за допомогою стандартних бібліотек. Підкреслюється, що нейромережеві технології можуть бути корисними при створенні набору базових програмних моделей-блоків, наділених певними властивостями, що відповідають деяким реальним процесам або явищам, для подальшого їх комбінування в більш складних системах конструювання. Причому найскладніша частина такого набору модулів це саме середовище взаємодії таких блоків, яке у перспективі також може бути побудовано на основі нейронних мереж.
On Well-Connected Sets of Strings
Authors: Frankl Peter , Pach János
Published: April 2022

Given $n$ sets $X_1,\ldots, X_n$, we call the elements of $S=X_1\times\cdots\times X_n$ strings. A nonempty set of strings $W\subseteq S$ is said to be well-connected if for every $v\in W$ and for every $i\, (1\le i\le n)$, there is another element $v'\in W$ which differs from $v$ only in its $i$th coordinate. We prove a conjecture of Yaokun Wu and Yanzhen Xiong by showing that every set of more than $\prod_{i=1}^n|X_i|-\prod_{i=1}^n(|X_i|-1)$ strings has a well-connected subset. This bound is tight.
How Consumers' Need for Variety and Social Consumption Influences Festival Patronage and Spending
Authors: Waehning Nadine , Cui Charles Chi , Cabras Ignazio , Bian Xuemei
Published: April 2022

This article investigates the influence of motivational goals such as variety seeking and social consumption on consumers' patronage and spending at craft beer festivals. In doing so, we develop and test a number of hypotheses by examining information collected via means of a survey
questionnaire proposed in 2017 to visitors of a large beer festival in the UK. Findings of our analysis unveil how cognitive engagement affects individuals' behavior with regard to responding to and financially engage with beer festivals. Results also identify cognitive engagement as an important
mediator of the effects related to variety seeking and social consumption. From a managerial perspective, findings reveal important attributes affecting consumers' drivers towards craft beers, contributing to understand which dimension of consumer engagement influence their behaviors. Overall,
the study provides fresh empirical evidence in terms of identifying and recognizing consumers' behaviors with regard to defining future trends in the craft beer sector.
Perceived Impacts of Covid-19 in Conference Tourism: A Partial Least Squares (pls) Analysis
Authors: Marques Jorge , Khoshkam Mana , Kiumarsi Shaian
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this article is to explore the perceived impacts of COVID-19 in participating in academic events, relating the attractiveness of destinations and tourist opportunities as pull factors. Remote communication technologies have also been put into perspective to understand
how they can influence future participation in events. A partial least squares (PLS) was used to test both research model and hypotheses. This study supports that COVID-19 has profoundly affected participation in events and has an impact on the attractiveness of the destination and tourist
opportunities. During the pandemic context, remote communication technologies have replaced physical presence at events and are expected to continue to be present in future events. However, it is anticipated that technology will not permanently replace physical presence at events, due to the
social character it represents. Also, destination attractiveness and tourist opportunities will be important in the decision to participate in physical events. This article addresses the current topic of COVID-19 and the impact on the future of physical events and gives some indicators that
may contribute to a better planning of destinations in the recovery of this sector, namely by enhancing the tourist attractiveness of destinations as pull factor.
A Bibliometric Exploration of Events Literature In and Outside the Core Journals
Authors: Fletcher Richard , Bostock James
Published: April 2022

There are various positions on what literature represents "core" event management research and to what degree "peripheral" tourism and hospitality (T&H) literature influences and overlaps with this field. Previous literature reviews have made progress but methodological challenges
remain. The influences of journal lists, performance-based research funding systems, and selective databases are discussed regarding the journal selection of events researchers. An exploratory approach to charting the core and periphery of events-related research was taken. Firstly, the relevance
of a wide range of journals to event management research was tested using a measure of interrater agreement. Twenty-four of the 53 journals reviewed were selected as relevant. Secondly, a bibliometric analysis of highly cited articles was carried out. Two hundred seventy-two of 480 articles
from 2008–2018 were selected and further examined using citation analysis. Three, four-star journals accounted for 60% of all references within the sample, despite only accounting for 23% of the total article volume. Quantitative research and articles about festivals or sports events
were predominant in the sample, although the research methodology used and types of events chosen by individual articles had limited or no effect on the number of citations received. Most (77%) authors were based in Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and North America. Future reviews are advised
to investigate blended approaches, open data, nonselective databases, and international perspectives.
Development of systolic dysfunction unrelated to myocardial infarction in treated hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. The LIFE Study
Authors: Chinali Marcello , Aurigemma Gerard P. , Gerdts Eva , Wachtell Kristian , Okin Peter M. , Muthiah Anujan , Kjeldsen Sverre E. , Julius Stevo , de Simone Giovanni , Devereux Richard B.
Published: April 2022

Aim: While it is commonly thought that left ventricular (LV) systolic function may insidiously deteriorate in hypertensive patients, few prospective data are available to support this notion.
Methods: We evaluated 680 hypertensive patients (66 ± 7 years; 45% women) with electrocardiographic (ECG)-LV hypertrophy (ECG-LVH) enrolled in the Losartan Intervention For Endpoint reduction in hypertension (LIFE) echo-sub-study free of prevalent cardiovascular disease and with baseline ejection fraction (EF) ≥ 55%. Echocardiographic examinations were performed annually for 5 years during anti-hypertensive treatment. Development of reduced systolic function was defined as incident EF < 50%.
Results: During a mean follow-up of 4.8 ± 1 years, 37 patients developed reduced EF without an inter-current myocardial infarction (5.4%). In analysis of covariance, patients who developed reduced EF were more often men, had greater baseline LV diameter and LV mass, lower mean EF (all P < 0.05), and similar diastolic function indices. At the last available examination before EF reduction, independently of covariates, patients with reduced EF showed a significant increase in left atrium (LA) size, LV diameter, end-systolic stress and mitral E/A ratio, as compared to those who did not develop reduced EF (all P < 0.05). In time-varying Cox regression analysis, also controlling for baseline EF, predictors of developing reduced EF were higher in-treatment LV diameter [hazard ratio (HR) = 5.19 per cm; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.58–10.41] and higher in-treatment mitral E/A ratio (HR = 2.37 per unit; 95% CI: 1.58–3.56; both P < 0.0001).
Conclusions: In treated hypertensive patients with ECG-LVH at baseline, incident reduced EF is associated with the development of dilated LV chamber and signs of increased LV filling pressure (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00338260).

TYPOLOGY OF ISLAMIC EDUCATION NEO-SALAFI VERSUS OF PROGRESSIVE ISLAM
Authors: Saada Najwan
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis article discusses the principles of two traditions of contemporary religious understanding in Islam today. Neo-Salafi and Progressive Islam, where these two groups are in contradiction with ideological principles, religious practice, and orientation. This article analyzes how these two groups develop a typology of Islamic religious education at the system level and the learning process. Some of the indicators studied to explain typology are tarbiyya and ta’dīb which are in the critical and non-critical ta’līm continuum positions in Islamic religious education. By using the descriptive reflective method, the identifier’s purpose of this typology is to provide theoretical contributions to academics and practitioners as material for reflecting on the pedagogical method of Islamic education in the contemporary era.
INTEGRATION OF RELIGION AND SCIENCE IN ISLAMIC UNIVERSITIES
Authors: Khoulita Ikfi , Rahmatullah Asep , Hadi Sofwan
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe Integration Project of Islam and Science in Indonesia in particular has gained momentum in the last ten years. Several Islamic higher education institutions have transformed themselves from STAIN/IAIN into UIN, a step that some consider scientific ijtihad in integrating science and Islam at Islamic universities. This step of status transfer was also accompanied by the growth of buildings that all looked like “Inpres Primary Schools” in remote areas, into magnificent and modern campuses. Physical development can be said to be successful, because the image of Islamic universities that have transformed into universities is not inferior to other universities, which have long been established and manage various scientific disciplines.

U dạng tuyến (Adenomatoid tumor) là một khối u lành tính có nguồn gốc trung mô, thường gặp ở đường sinh dục của cả hai giới, tuy nhiên, cực kỳ hiếm gặp ở vị trí ngoài đường sinh dục như tuyến thượng thận. Cho tới nay, chỉ có khoảng 40 trường hợp u dạng tuyến tại tuyến thượng thận được ghi nhận trong y văn. Chúng tôi báo cáo một trường hợp u dạng tuyến tại tuyến thượng thận trên bệnh nhân nam, 45 tuổi, vào viện vì đau nhẹ vùng lưng trái và tăng huyết áp. Bệnh nhân được chỉ định chụp cắt lớp vi tính hệ tiết niệu, phát hiện khối u vùng tuyến thượng thận trái. Trên vi thể, mô tuyến thượng thận có u được cấu tạo bởi các cấu trúc dạng ống tuyến kích thước to nhỏ không đều, lòng ống được lợp bởi một hàng tế bào nhân nhỏ đều. Xen giữa các ống này là mô đệm giàu lympho bào, có vùng tạo thành nang lympho. Nhuộm hóa mô miễn dịch thấy các tế bào u dương tính với các dấu ấn trung biểu mô (calretinin, D2-40 và WT1) và âm tính với CD31. U dạng tuyến (Adenomatoid tumor) là một khối u rất hiếm gặp tại tuyến thượng thận với những đặc điểm tương tự về hình hái và kiểu hình miễn dịch với những u dạng tuyến ở vùng sinh dục. Hóa mô miễn dịch đóng vai trò quan trọng trong chẩn đoán xác định khối u lành tính này, giúp tránh chẩn đoán nhầm và điều trị quá mức.

ABSTRACT

ADENOMATOID TUMOR OF THE ADRENAL GLAND: REPORT OF A RARE CASE AND REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE

Adenomatoid tumor (AT) is a benign neoplasm that originates from mesothelial cells, occurring in the female and male genital tracts although a limited number of cases have also been observed in extragenital sites such as the adrenal gland. In fact, the English literature only records approximately 40 cases of adrenal AT so far. Here we report a case of adrenal AT occurring in male patients aged 45 years who was admitted to the hospital because of mild left back pain and hypertension. The patient then underwent multislice computed tomography (MSCT) scan, detecting a tumor in the left adrenal gland. Histologically, the tumor in the adrenal gland was composed of growth patterns including microcysts, tubules, macrocysts and anastomosing structures lined by endothelial-like cells which were flattened and bland with no appreciable mitoses. Lymphoid aggregates and interspersed lymphocytes were frequently present. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for mesothelial markers (calretinin, D2-40, and WT-1) and negative for CD31. Adenomatoid tumor is an extremely rare neoplasm in the adrenal gland which is morphologically and immunophenotypically identical to that occurring in the genital tracts. Immunohistochemical profiles play a pivotal role in reaching the diagnosis of this benign tumor, helping to avoid misdiagnosis and overtreatment.
Primary outcomes of one-stage repair for interrupted aortic arch at Vietnam National Children’s Hospital
Authors: Nguyen Ly Thinh Truong
Published: April 2022

Objective: This study focuses on primary outcomes of one-stage repair for interrupted aortic arch (IAA) from a single institution from Vietnam.

Methods: Between 2012 and September 2017, 27 patients underwent one-stage repair in Children Heart Center, National Hospital of Pediatrics. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis plotted survival and freedom from reoperation curves from follow-up data.

Results: Median age was 53 days (range, 9 days to 5 months) and weight was 3.5 kg (range, 2.3 to 6.5 kg). IAA type A in 16 cases (59.3%), IAA type B in 11 case (40.7%). Associated anomalies were ventricular septal defect in 20 (74.1%), aortopulmonary window in 4 (14.8%), truncus arteriosus in 3 (11.1%). Fourteen patients (51.9%) have left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). Median follow-up was 17 months (range, 1 day to 71 months). Survival rates at 30 days, 1 year and 5 years were 81.5%, 77,6% and 77,6% respectively. There were 5 early deaths in hospital, 4 deaths related to nosocomial infection with positive results in blood culture or endotracheal tube, the other was sudden death. One late death after 4 months was caused by severe pulmonary artery stenosis after total repair of interrupted aortic arch associated with truncus arteriosus. There were 5 late reoperations or balloon angioplasty, reoperation for LVOTO in 3, right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction in 1, the other required balloon angioplasty for recurrence of aortic arch stenosis.

Conclusion: Primary outcomes of one-stage repair for interrupted aortic arch are safe in our institution. Long-term outcomes evaluation is needed for this complex congenital heart disease.

A new species of beaded lacewings (Neuroptera, Berothidae) from mid-Cretaceous Myanmar amber
Authors: Zhang Sihang , Yang Yihong , Chen Jiayi , Liu Liming , Cao Zhendong , Xie Sanping
Published: April 2022

A new species of Berothidae, Jersiberotha musivum sp. nov., is described and illustrated from mid-Cretaceous (lowest Cenomanian) Myanmar amber. It is easily distinguished from other species of Berothidae by the configuration of the wing venation including: forewing with distinct areas of infuscation surrounding cross-veins and vein forks, all cross-veins simple prior to ScP-RA fusion, presence of two cross-veins ra-rp; absence of inner or outer graduate series of cross-veins; RP with three branches; and absence of ma-mp cross-veins and cua-cup cross-veins; while hind wing has cross-vein 1r-m absent. The previous diagnoses of Iceloberotha Grimaldi, 2000 and Jersiberotha Grimaldi, 2000 are quite unclear because some characters occur mosaically in both genera. In order to solve this problem and distinguish J. musivum from other species in the family, a new key to species of Berothidae from Myanmar amber has been provided and the diagnoses of Iceloberotha and Jersiberotha have been revised.
L’homme en tant qu’animal politique
Authors: Berne Eric , Bailleau Patrick
Published: April 2022

Dans le passé, les scientifiques laissaient la politique aux Wilsons et aux Habsbourgs ; mais aujourd’hui c’est une obligation pour chaque citoyen de s’intéresser personnellement aux événements mondiaux, sauf à ce qu’ils ne le dépassent, lui et tous ses concitoyens. Les psychiatres et les physiciens qui s’intéressent particulièrement à l’étude des réalités humaines et de la nature ne peuvent plus camper sur leur réserve. Ils doivent dire au monde ce qu’ils savent de son avenir possible et cela même au risque d’être impliqués dans des domaines qui ne sont pas de leur compétence et d’être critiqués. Il n’est plus sage dorénavant pour les scientifiques de s’abstenir d’exprimer des opinions fortes et d’exercer une influence puissante pour tenter avec énergie de changer le cours de l’Histoire. Les quelques courts paragraphes qui suivent tentent de montrer aux lecteurs comment les psychiatres peuvent les aider à réfléchir avec plus de lucidité aux événements politiques. Seuls quelques sujets particuliers ont été abordés à ce jour, mais la psychiatrie peut actuellement suffisamment en dire sur la psychologie des masses dans le cadre de situations politiques pour constituer un champ particulier dédié à la « psychiatrie politique » et, dans un futur proche, remplir un livre d’observations et de principes utiles et pertinents. Les psychiatres plus que les physiciens devraient et doivent s’intéresser aux questions politiques.
Taine et la grandeur du roman, ou Balzac à la lumière de Dickens
Authors: Tortonese Paolo
Published: April 2022

Le premier grand article que Taine consacre à un romancier, Dickens, paraît le 1 er  février 1856. Il contient déjà les éléments essentiels d’une réflexion sur le roman contemporain que Taine développera en 1857 avec l’article sur Thackeray et en 1858 avec sa longue étude sur Balzac. Le roman selon Taine est le genre qui doit viser une sorte d’impassibilité à la fois esthétique et scientifique, contre le jugement moral traditionnellement associé aux genres de la satire et de l’élégie. Le roman fait face à la grandeur de la réalité : à la fois ce qui est admirable et ce qui est mesurable.
La poétique au temps des tribunaux. Retour sur Pinard, lecteur de Madame Bovary
Authors: Naïm Jérémy
Published: April 2022

Si d’après la doxa , il n’y a pas de poétique au xix e  siècle, on trouve pourtant des textes où apparaît, entre les lignes, un discours sur le « faire » créateur. Il en est ainsi du célèbre réquisitoire d’Ernest Pinard contre Madame Bovary . Un énième retour sur Pinard servira à dégager les catégories qu’il applique au texte littéraire pour l’interpréter. On s’apercevra ainsi que, si le réquisitoire n’a rien d’un traité théorique, il révèle en revanche une discursivité commune, un prédiscours sur la littérature qui peut sans doute, mais en un sens bien différent de l’époque moderne, porter le nom de « poétique ».
Vers et prose dans les discours poéticiens du XIX e siècle
Authors: Hureaux Anton
Published: April 2022

Cette étude entend explorer les différents statuts du vers et de la prose dans les discours poéticiens du xix e  siècle en partant d’un constat simple : si les romantiques sapent, au début du siècle, le principe rhétorique au fondement du partage formel vers/prose, ce dernier conserve cependant une dimension opérante dans les réflexions poéticiennes des écrivains. Plus précisément, les tentatives d’élaboration d’une poétique formaliste oscillent entre une entreprise de remotivation des formes, qui associe le vers et la prose à certaines valeurs fixées d’avance, et une entreprise de dérégulation, qui refuse d’identifier la poésie et le prosaïsme à des mises en forme du discours. Il s’agira notamment de dégager trois moments épistémologiques dans la perception et la compréhension du vers et de la prose, et la légitimation de leur distinction : éthique, anthropologique et linguistique.
La rédemption d’André Vésale dans la fiction du XIX e siècle
Authors: Krück Marie-Pierre
Published: April 2022

L’existence du célèbre anatomiste de la Renaissance André Vésale fut entourée d’une aura mystérieuse ; commentateurs et exégètes ont participé à ériger la légende noire d’un disséqueur immoral et vengeur, condamné à l’exil par le Roi Philippe II d’Espagne pour vivisection. Quelque peu tombée dans l’oubli par la suite, la figure du médecin bruxellois connaît un engouement tout particulier au xix e  siècle, jusqu’à devenir, près de trois cents ans après sa mort, un personnage de prédilection pour plusieurs écrivains romantiques. L’objectif de cet article est d’interroger la résurgence soudaine de Vésale et, plus encore, les transformations spectaculaires de sa mise en fiction . En effet, nous remarquerons que les différentes perceptions de l’anatomiste suivent les évolutions sociales de l’époque et notamment, celle de la progressive acceptation publique de la pratique autoptique.
« Le hasard contre la sagesse ». Métaphysique et historiographie du hasard chez Michelet
Authors: Aramini Aurélien
Published: April 2022

S’il n’existe pas à proprement parler d’épistémologie du hasard chez Michelet, une compréhension globale de la croyance au hasard s’esquisse cependant dans son œuvre. L’auteur de l’ Histoire de France conçoit cette croyance comme l’expression, sur le plan des mentalités, du système de la Grâce structurant l’Ancien Régime et culminant au xvii e  siècle, le « grand siècle du Jeu », où l’arbitraire règne sur la terre comme au ciel. Pour remédier à cette croyance qui favorise l’inaction et la haine de la raison, Michelet montrera qu’elle s’enracine dans l’histoire universelle, au sein du messianisme juif. Fort de cette généalogie du hasard qu’il oppose à la sagesse de la tradition indo-grecque, l’historien philosophe pourra envisager une foi et une éducation nouvelles permettant de résorber la croyance au hasard tant sur le plan théologico-politique que sur le plan scientifique.
De la décrépitude comme catégorie esthétique : Baudelaire, Manet
Authors: Zanetta Julien
Published: April 2022

En mai 1865, Charles Baudelaire écrit à son ami Édouard Manet : « Vous n’êtes que le premier dans la décrépitude de votre art ». On a lu cette phrase sibylline tantôt comme une raillerie, tantôt comme un encouragement. Cet article se propose de revenir sur l’idée de décrépitude, terme délicat dont l’interprétation a longtemps été source de controverses. On soutiendra que l’expression possède un sens qui lui est propre, et qu’il est permis d’établir ou de circonscrire le faisceau de ses significations en reprenant d’autres usages que Baudelaire en fit. Il s’agira avant tout de comprendre comment ce mot devient une catégorie qui s’intègre à un lexique que toute la critique d’art, mais aussi la poétique préalable de Baudelaire, ont préparé.
A review of the application of machine learning in adult obesity studies
Authors: Alkhalaf Mohammad , Yu Ping , Shen Jun , Deng Chao
Published: April 2022

In obesity studies, several researchers have been applying machine learning tools to identify factors affecting human body weight. However, a proper review of strength, limitations and evaluation metrics of machine learning algorithms in obesity is lacking. This study reviews the status of application of machine learning algorithms in obesity studies and to identify strength and weaknesses of these methods. A scoping review of paper focusing on obesity was conducted. PubMed and Scopus databases were searched for the application of machine learning in obesity using different keywords. Only English papers in adult obesity between 2014 and 2019 were included. Also, only papers that focused on controllable factors (e.g., nutrition intake, dietary pattern and/or physical activity) were reviewed in depth. Papers on genetic or childhood obesity were excluded. Twenty reviewed papers used machine learning algorithms to identify the relationship between the contributing factors and obesity. Regression algorithms were widely applied. Other algorithms such as neural network, random forest and deep learning were less exploited. Limitations regarding data priori assumptions, overfitting and hyperparameter optimization were discussed. Performance metrics and validation techniques were identified. Machine learning applications are positively impacting obesity research. The nature and objective of a study and available data are key factors to consider in selecting the appropriate algorithms. The future research direction is to further explore and take advantage of the modern methods, i.e., neural network and deep learning, in obesity studies.
Definition modeling: literature review and dataset analysis
Authors: Gardner Noah , Khan Hafiz , Hung Chih-Cheng
Published: April 2022

Definition modeling, the task of generating a definition for a given term, is a relatively new area of research applied in evaluating word embeddings. Automatic generation of dictionary quality definitions has many applications in natural language processing, such as sentiment analysis, machine translation, and word sense disambiguation. Additionally, definition modeling is also helpful for evaluating the quality of word embeddings. As more research is done in this field, the need for a summary of different applications, approaches, and obstacles grows apparent. This review provides an overview of the current research in definition modeling and a list of future directions and trends.
Numerical threshold of linearly implicit Euler method for nonlinear infection-age SIR models
Authors: Yang Huizi , Yang Zhanwen , Liu Shengqiang
Published: April 2022

In this paper, we consider a numerical threshold of a linearly implicit Euler method for a nonlinear infection-age SIR model. It is shown that the method shares the equilibria and basic reproduction number \begin{document}$ R_0 $\end{document} of age-independent SIR models for any stepsize. Namely, the disease-free equilibrium is globally stable for numerical processes when \begin{document}$ R_0<1 $\end{document} and the underlying endemic equilibrium is globally stable for numerical processes when \begin{document}$ R_0>1 $\end{document}. A natural extension to nonlinear infection-age models is presented with an initial mortality rate and the numerical thresholds, i.e., numerical basic reproduction numbers \begin{document}$ R^h $\end{document}, are presented according to the infinite Leslie matrix. Although the numerical basic reproduction numbers \begin{document}$ R^h $\end{document} are not quadrature approximations to the exact threshold \begin{document}$ R_0 $\end{document}, the disease-free equilibrium is locally stable for numerical processes whenever \begin{document}$ R^h<1 $\end{document}. Moreover, a unique numerical endemic equilibrium exists for \begin{document}$ R^h>1 $\end{document}, which is locally stable for numerical processes. It is much more important that both the numerical thresholds and numerical endemic equilibria converge to the exact ones with accuracy of order 1. Therefore, the local dynamical behaviors of nonlinear infection-age models are visually displayed by the numerical processes. Finally, numerical applications to the influenza models are shown to illustrate our results.
Transmission dynamics of a general temporal-spatial vector-host epidemic model with an application to the dengue fever in Guangdong, China
Authors: Luo Yantao , Teng Zhidong , Zhao Xiao-Qiang
Published: April 2022

Due to the nature of the spread of vector-host epidemic disease, there are many factors affecting its dynamic behaviors. In this paper, a vector-host epidemic model with two seasonal development periods and awareness control of host is proposed to investigate the multi-effects of the spatial heterogeneity, seasonal development periods, temporal periodicity and awareness control. We first address the well-posedness of the model and then derive the basic reproduction number \begin{document}$ R_0 $\end{document}. In the case where \begin{document}$ R_0<1 $\end{document}, we establish the global attractivity of the disease-free periodic solution, and in the case where \begin{document}$ R_0>1 $\end{document}, we show that the disease is uniformly persistent and the system admits at least one positive periodic endemic steady state, and further obtain the global attractivity of the positive endemic constant steady state for the model with constant coefficients. As a case study, we conduct numerical simulations for the dengue fever transmission in Guangdong, China, 2014. We find that the greater heterogeneity of the mosquito distribution and human population may increase the risk of disease transmission, and the stronger awareness control may lower the risk of disease transmission.
Positive periodic solutions for systems of impulsive delay differential equations
Authors: Faria Teresa , Figueroa Rubén
Published: April 2022

A class of periodic differential \begin{document}$ n $\end{document}-dimensional systems with patch structure with (possibly infinite) delay and nonlinear impulses is considered. These systems incorporate very general nonlinearities and impulses whose signs may vary. Criteria for the existence of at least one positive periodic solution are presented, extending and improving previous ones established for the scalar case. Applications to systems inspired in mathematical biology models, such as impulsive hematopoiesis and Nicholson-type systems, are also included.

Authors: Dhifaoui Anis
Published: April 2022

This paper treats the stationary Stokes problem in exterior domain of \begin{document}$ {{\mathbb{R}}}^3 $\end{document} with Navier slip boundary condition. The behavior at infinity of the data and the solution are determined by setting the problem in \begin{document}$ L^p $\end{document}-spaces, for \begin{document}$ p> 2 $\end{document}, with weights. The main results are the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions of the corresponding system.
Well-posedness and stability of non-autonomous semilinear input-output systems
Authors: Schmid Jochen
Published: April 2022

We establish well-posedness results for non-autonomous semilinear input-output systems, the central assumption being the scattering-passivity of the considered semilinear system. Along the way, we also establish global stability estimates. We consider both systems with distributed control and observation and systems with boundary control and observation, and we treat them in a unified manner. Applications are given to nonlinearly controlled collocated systems and to nonlinearly controlled port-Hamiltonian systems.

   \begin{document}$ T_{min} = \sqrt{ \frac{ \overline{L} (L^2+\pi^2)}{\pi^2\varepsilon(1- \overline{L} \varepsilon)}}, $\end{document}

Investigation of braided stents in curved vessels in terms of "Dogbone" deformation
Authors: Pan Chen , Zeng Xinyun , Han Yafeng , Lu Jiping
Published: April 2022

"Dogbone" deformation that the diameters of two ends are larger than the middle diameter of the stent under the effect of the balloon expanding, is one of the important standards to evaluate the mechanical properties of vascular stents. It is a huge challenge to simulate and evaluate the "Dogbone" behaviors of braided stents in the curved vessels. In this study, the key work was to investigate the "Dogbone" deformations of braided stents in the curved vessels by designing main parameters including strut diameter, braiding angle, and the circumferential number of unit cell. Based on the "Dogbone" stents in the curved vessels, the impact of "Dogbone" on the fatigue properties of braided stents was analyzed under the pulsatile effect of vessels. The influence of "Dogbone" stents on stress distribution of vascular walls was studied. To evaluate the "Dogbone" behaviors of stents in the curved vessels, the calculation method of "Dogbone" was improved by calculating the centerline and the bus bar of the curved vessels. Braided stents with various parameters (strut diameter t = 100,125 and 152 μm, braiding angle α = 30, 40 and 50°, the circumferential number of unit cell N = 8, 10, and 12) were designed respectively. Numerical simulation method was used to mimic the "Dogbone" deformation after stent expansion. The results showed that strut diameter and braiding angle had more influence on "Dogbone" deformations than the circumferential number of unit cell. "Dogbone" deformation could adversely affect fatigue performance and vascular walls.
Modelling and numerical study of the polyatomic bitemperature Euler system
Authors: Aregba-Driollet Denise , Brull Stéphane
Published: April 2022

This paper is devoted to the study of the bitemperature Euler system in a polyatomic setting. Physically, this model describes a mixture of one species of ions and one species of electrons in the quasi-neutral regime. We firstly derive the model starting from a kinetic polyatomic model and performing next a fluid limit. This kinetic model is shown to satisfy fundamental properties. Some exact solutions are presented. Finally, a numerical scheme is derived and proved to coincide with an approximation designed in [3] and extended to second order and two space dimensions in [6]. Some numerical tests are presented.
New Technologies and Privacy
Authors: Maceratini Arianna
Published: April 2022

This work proposes a necessarily partial and evolving reflection on the dynamics by which information technologies have progressively changed the definition and interaction between privacy and knowledge, focusing on crucial points from a legal point of view. The relevance of the debate that has developed in recent years, on these issues, is evidenced by numerous initiatives and measures—both European and international—which offer answers to phenomena such as the development of the internet of things and, more generally, to progress in computer science and robotics. From this perspective, uncertainties are raised concerning the necessary respect for privacy and individual dignity to be balanced with the right to inform and to be informed, as evidence of an effectively shared knowledge. The critical point of the question is, in any case, the identification of a flexible balance between freedom and constraint, considering the violation of privacy not only as a mere limitation of individual potential, but as a factor capable of undermining the core of personal freedoms.
Universal Design for Learning to Support Integrated Digital Teaching
Authors: Zambianchi Elena , Scarpa Stefano Miotti
Published: April 2022

With the implementation of Integrated Digital Teaching for all school orders (DM 39/2020 and DM 89/2020), learning and digitization settings can be combined with the design of frontal and remote educational actions, allowing for better accessibility and inclusion. Universal Design for Learning is a model for building products and environments accessible to anyone as widely as possible, without the need for specialized planning or adaptations. In the pedagogical field, UDL is also a methodology that can be used to promote a fully inclusive curriculum, through a new interpretation of teaching-learning processes and strategic and reasoned use of technologies. The authors believe that Universal Design for Learning can support the implementation of integrated digital teaching.
