Conjugation of bioactive peptides to nanomaterials is a promising approach for a variety of biomedical uses. Indeed, we assumed that gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) functionalized with synthetic viral peptides represent a promising strategy to elicit antibody response against zoonotic coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 responsible for pandemic COVID-19 disease. Two specific linear B-cell epitopes namely S1P4 and S2P6 have been recently identified in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein expressed by the COVID-19 mRNA BNT162 vaccine of Pfizer-BioNTech and marketed under the brand name Comirnaty. The present study aimed at investigating the immunogenic potential of AuNPs functionalized with synthetic PADRE^S1P4 and PADRE^S2P6 peptides in a mouse model. The AuNPs were synthesized using an environmentally friendly process. In both synthetic PADRE^S1P4 and PADRE^S2P6 peptides, the SARS-CoV-2 spike antibody epitope is preceded by a polybasic sequence and the T-helper cell response activator PADRE. A thiol-terminated polyethylene glycol was used to decorate AuNP surface with the synthetic peptides. The AuNPs-peptide conjugates were inoculated without any adjuvant to adult BALB/c mice by intramuscular route in a prime-boost schedule. The AuNPs functionalized with the PADRE^S2P6 peptide but not the PADRE^S1P4 peptide were efficient to elicit antibody production of relevant specificity against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. The ability of PADRE^S2P6 peptide-reactive antibodies to recognize SARS-CoV-2 variants opens important perspectives for AuNP-peptide conjugates as potential serological tools to support the surveillance of wildlife-origin coronaviruses.

Maize is an important cereal crop rated third to rice and wheat on the global scale of agricultural production. It is use spans a vast array of industrial as well as domestic uses, with its consumption as food and feed being the primary reason for its cultivation This globally produced and consumed commodity is however faced with an array of biotic and abiotic constraints with regard to its production, such as MSV, MLND, Smut, Lepidopteron pests, soil acidity, P deficiency, poor rains and drought. This study aimed at assessing tolerance, heterosis, and heritability of Al toxicity tolerance in the laboratory for MSV/AL single crosses in terms of Net root length. The research methodology followed the Magnavaca protocol for Al tolerance screening in nutrient solution. The genotypes in the study varied significantly in terms of response under Al toxicity, with 22.58% tolerant, 19.35% moderately tolerant, and 58.6% being susceptible. From the study, 22.6% of the single crosses were found to be tolerant to the stress under controlled condition and 12.9% were found to have positive heterosis for the trait. While all the female parents were tolerant except AO809, only one male (54B) was moderately tolerant, this could have led to the low heritability expressed by the single crosses for the trait. The identified single crosses should be further screened for tolerance and heterosis in the field. However, this study showed low heritability for Al tolerance (estimated at 16.9%) when crossing is done between susceptible and tolerant genotypes

Lugha na utamaduni wa watu ni vitu visivyoweza kutenganishwa. Mifumo ya lugha huathiri namna binadamu anavyofikiri kuhusu ulimwengu wake na husababisha matendo ambayo ni kiini cha changamoto za kiikolojia wanazokabiliana nazo. Katika makala hii, tulichambua namna leksimu za mitishamba zinachukuliwa kama ishara za uhifadhi wa mazingira katika mifumo ya ikolojia katika jamii ya Waswahili. Data ilikusanywa kwa mbinu ya mahojiano kutoka kwa Waswahili wa Mvita. Utafiti huu uliongozwa na nadharia ya semiotiki ikolojia iliyotusaidia kuelewa kuwa kile kilichotambuliwa kama athari kwa ikolojia mara nyingi huwa na sababu za kisemiotiki na tofauti katika kufasiri ishara au misamiati. Tulibainisha kuwa kuna leksimu za mitishamba kama ‘mpambamwitu’ ambayo Waswahili walitumia kuonyesha ile hali ya kurembesha misitu yao kwa kuleta taswira ya kiasili na mwonekano mzuri wa kipekee, ‘linda ziwa’ iliakisi uhifadhi wa vyanzo vya maji. Mahali ambapo ulimea, maji yalikuwa safi na tayari kutumika katika shughuli za pale nyumbani. Mti huu ulifananishwa na jokofu kwani hata nyakati za joto ulipoenda mtoni ungepata maji hayo ni baridi na safi. Waswahili ambao walikuwa ni watumiaji wa leksimu hizi walionyesha kuwa ilipofikia suala la uhifadhi wa mazingira, wanajamii walijitahidi kutunza mazingira yao. Jinsi tunavyochagua misamiati yetu katika mawasiliano kuhusu mazingira kunaweza kubadilisha jinsi wanajamii wanavyoyaona mazingira hayo. Ikolojia inategemea mawazo yaliyopo, kanuni, na sheria za jamii. Makala hii imapendekeza kuwa kwa kubadilisha jinsi tulivyoyatazama mazingira yetu ya asili tunaweza kutambua thamani yake halisi. Kwa kuiweka thamani hiyo katika sera zetu mipango na mifumo ya uchumi, tunaweza kuelekeza uwekezaji katika shughuli ambazo zinarejesha uasili wa mazingira yetu na tukapata faida. Kwa kutambua kuwa mazingira yetu ni mshirika wetu mkubwa basi tutayafanya kuwa endelevu.
Dhima za Tasifida Kimuktadha katika Nyimbo za Singeli: Mifano kutoka kwa Msanii Msaga Sumu na Manfongo

Published: September 2023

Kutokana na ufinyu wa tafiti zilizofanyika kuhusu tasifida katika muktadha wa nyimbo za singeli kumejengeka mtazamo hasi hasa kwenye lugha inayotumika katika muktadha wa nyimbo za singeli miongoni mwa wanajamii. Kutokana na umuhimu wa tasifida katika kuendeleza utamaduni wa jamii kulikuwa na haja ya kuchunguza na kuweka bayana dhima za matumizi ya tasifida katika nyimbo za singeli. Kwa hiyo, makala hii imeangalia dhima za tasifida kimuktadha katika nyimbo za singeli kwa kutumia nyimbo ziitwazo “Siponaye”, “Dada Asha”, “Spesho”, “Mtoto Mdogo” za msanii  Msaga Sumu na  “Chawa”, “Hainogi”, “Kitasa”, “Mashine” “Kipusa”, “Muacheni Adange” za msanii Manfongo. Nadharia ya Semiotiki imetumika kufafanua dhima za tasifida katika nyimbo za wasanii teule. Katika nyimbo hizo tasifida mbalimbali zimetumiwa na wasanii teule kuwasilisha maudhui yao. Nyimbo hizi za singeli, licha ya kuimbwa kwa lugha inayoonekana ni ya mtaani, zimezingatia sana matumizi ya tasifida katika kupunguza ukali wa maneno. Matokeo ya utafiti huu yameonesha wazi kuwa matumizi ya lugha ya tasifida katika nyimbo za singeli, yameonesha wazi kwamba nyimbo za singeli zina dhima kadha wa kadha zinazowasilishwa kwa njia ya matumizi ya tasifida. Kupitia matumizi ya tasifida katika nyimbo za singeli, ni bayana kwamba tasifida zina dhima za msingi katika nyimbo za singeli katika kuendeleza mila, utamaduni na desturi za mawasiliano katika jamii. Dhima hizo ni pamoja na kubainisha kazi zisizo halali katika jamii, kuibua tabia zisizokubarika katika jamii, kukemea mmomonyoko wa maadili katika jamii, kuhimiza umuhimu wa mapenzi ya dhati katika jamii na kuweka bayana uhalisia wa mwanaume. Hivyo basi, watafiti wengine wanaweza kufanya utafiti kama huu kwa kuchunguza kwa kina tofauti ya tasifida na taswira kimuktadha katika nyimbo teule za utafiti huu
Modern Methods for Modelling Bolted Joints at the Assembly Stage – A Systematic Review
Authors: Grzejda Rafał
Published: September 2023

The main aim of the paper is to catalog ways of modeling bolted joints and introducing bolt preload using the finite element method. The paper presents models of bolted joints published in the current decade (i.e. after 1 January 2021 and up to 10 May 2023) in journals of the world's largest scientific publishers, such as: Elsevier, Springer, and MDPI, among others. Reporting of the systematic review was carried out based on PRISMA guidelines. The databases were searched with the EBSCO multi-search engine for the following keywords: bolted joint model, bolted connection model, preload, and finite element method. Additionally, the search results were narrowed down to peer-reviewed papers from the discipline of engineering and written in English. This yielded 2,712 records for further analysis. After removing duplicates from this group, screening was carried out, based on which 1,476 records were excluded from the study. For the remaining group of reports, an eligibility assessment was performed, after which a further 210 reports were excluded from the study. Finally, 86 papers were included in the review. As a result of their examination, six groups of simplified fastener models currently used in the modeling of bolted joints at the assembly stage were described.
Recovery of Interest upon Termination of the Contract in Modern Judicial and Arbitration Practice
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russia, Vanin Vitaliy V.
Published: September 2023

Problem statement. The restoration of the property rights of the parties upon termination of the contract in the absence of equivalence of counter-grants involves the reimbursement of all benefits derived in connection with the use of the property to be returned, which is ensured, inter alia, by the payment of interest per annum. Such percentages may have a different legal nature, which should be taken into account to ensure the fairness of the consequences of termination of the contract and uniformity of judicial and arbitration practice. Goals and objectives of the study: investigation of the legal nature of interest, the accrual of which is possible upon termination of a synallagmatic paid contract, under which non-equivalent property grants were made; identification of problems with the application of the institute of interest upon termination of the contract on various grounds and the formation of proposals to overcome them. Research methods: dialectical, analysis, synthesis, formal and legal. Results, brief conclusions. When determining the period of interest accrual upon termination of the contract, it is necessary to take into account their legal nature (interest-liability or legal interest), the presence or absence of special regulation, as well as the nature of the grounds for termination of the contract (whether there was a violation of the contract by the party receiving the advance or not); the regulatory basis for such differentiation follows from the prohibition enshrined in paragraph 4 of Article 1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation to take advantage of one’s illegal or unscrupulous behavior.
On the Relationship of the Residential Lease Agreement and the Hotel Services Agreement
Authors:   Russian State University of Justice, Moscow, Russia, Rybina Natalya M.
Published: September 2023

There are a lot of difficulties with the qualification of contracts in law enforcement practice, which is explained by the complexity and the constant development of economic relations. One of the problems recently encountered by domestic courts relates to the distinction between the contract of rental accommodation and the contract of hotel services. At the moment there is no unity of the courts’ positions on the criteria of differentiation of these contracts, which requires a scientific assessment of this issue. The aim of the article was to form a theoretically grounded approach to the criteria of delimitation of the contract of lease of residential premises and the contract of hotel services. In order to achieve this aim we have set the following tasks: 1) to determine the features of the contract of tenancy and the contract for hotel services; 2) to explore the approaches existing in judicial practice; 3) to formulate criteria for distinguishing these contracts. The article was prepared with the use of general scientific methods (system, logical) and special legal methods (comparative-legal, formal-legal). The author comes to the conclusion that when differentiating a residential lease agreement and a hotel services contract, one should proceed from the presence or absence of a purpose of residence, which is characterized by a long-term legal relationship, the binding of a citizen to a given locality and independence in maintaining the premises in a condition suitable for living and meeting household needs.
Problems of Achieving Uniformity of Judicial Practice on the Issue of Determining the Price of a Claim
Authors:   Urals Branch, Russian State University of Justice, Chelyabinsk, Russia, Ryzhkov Konstantin S.
Published: September 2023

One of the most important tasks facing the judicial system is to achieve uniformity of judicial practice. At the same time, a complex issue of civil procedural law, on which there is currently a need to achieve uniformity of judicial practice, is the correct establishment of the jurisdiction of cases to magistrates, depending on the price of the claim. The article analyzes the problems associated with the establishment of jurisdiction of civil cases to magistrates. The content of the concept of “the price of a claim” is considered in the context of the current norms of civil procedural legislation. Special attention is paid to the study of monetary amounts included and not included in the price of the claim. The purpose of the study is to establish criteria for including in the price of the claim the claims made by the plaintiff in civil proceedings. In order to achieve this goal, the author has set the task of analyzing and interpreting the norms of current legislation and current law enforcement practice on this issue. The lack of uniformity in the interpretation and application of legal norms by courts on the issue under study is stated. Within the framework of the conducted research, the following criteria were identified for including the plaintiff’s claims in the price of the claim: the property nature of the claim, the impossibility of collecting the specified amount without the plaintiff’s application, the independence of the amount of the specified amount from the price of the claim, as well as the inability to apply with the specified claim in the same case after its resolution on the merits. At the same time, it is proposed to specify in the current legislation the procedure for determining the price of a claim, in connection with which the need to change art. 91 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation in terms of supplementing it with a provision providing for the impossibility of including in the price of the claim claims for compensation for moral damage and for the recovery of court costs.

The left–right reversed visual feedback of the hand affects multisensory interaction within peripersonal space
Authors: Mine Daisuke , Narumi Takuji
Published: September 2023

The interaction between vision and touch, known as the crossmodal congruency effect, has been extensively investigated in several research studies. Recent studies have revealed that the crossmodal congruency effect involves body representations. However, it is unclear how bodily information (e.g., location, posture, motion) is linked to visual and tactile inputs. Three experiments were conducted to investigate this issue. In Experiment 1, participants performed a crossmodal congruency task in which both their hand appearance and the motor trajectories were left–right reversed. The results showed that the crossmodal congruency effect was not observed in the reversal condition, whereas participants showed significant crossmodal congruency in the control condition, in which there was no visual manipulation of the hand. In Experiments 2 and 3, where either the hand appearance or motor trajectory was left–right reversed individually, a significant crossmodal congruency effect was observed. This study demonstrated that visual manipulation of hand appearance and motor trajectories both affected the crossmodal congruency effect, although neither showed a dominant effect that solely altered the crossmodal congruency effect. The present results provide insights into the relationship between visual-tactile interactions and bodily information.
Up-regulation of TIMP-2 expression promotes SHI-1 leukemic cells proliferation and infiltration in immunodeficiency mice
Authors: Li Zhenjiang , Chen Zixing , Cen Jiannong , He Jun , Qiu Qiaocheng , Xue Yongquan
Published: September 2023

Background

MMPs and TIMPs play important roles in tumor angiogenesis and invasion. Studies have shown that TIMP-2 has two roles in tumor invasion. However, its role in leukemic infiltration has not been well investigated. This study explored the roles of TIMP-2 in extramedullary infiltration of acute monocytic leukemic SHI-1 cells bothin vitroandin vitro.

Methods

A retroviral vector carrying the human TIMP-2 cDNA was constructed and transfected into the monocytic leukemic cell line SHI-1. The expression of TIMP-2 in the positive clones was determined. The proliferation of SHI-1 cells was examined by MTT assay. Trans-Matrigel invasion assays were used to investigate the infiltration abilityin vitro. SHI-1 cells were intravenously injected into pre-treated nu/nu mice to investigate the infiltration ability featurein vitro.

Results

The expression of TIMP-2 on the cell membrane was significantly elevated in SHI-1/TIMP-2 cells. Overexpression of TIMP-2 promoted the cells proliferation and the invasionsin vitro. The SHI-1/TIMP-2 cells demonstrated higher infiltration ability when intravenously injected into nu/nu mice.

Conclusion

Over-expression of TIMP-2, especially on the cell membrane, may play important roles in promoting the proliferation and infiltration of SHI-1 leukemic cells.
Clinical manifestation of the SRSF2 gene mutation in Chinese patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia
Authors: Sun Chao , Zhang Sujiang , Qiao Chun , Yang Xiangchou , Li Jianyong
Published: September 2023

Background

Spliceosome mutations have been recently identified and associated with hematological malignancies. SRSF2, one of components of the splicing machinery, has a high mutation frequency during chronic myelomonocytic leukemia, according to previous reports. However, the relevance of this finding in Chinese populations remains unknown.

Methods

We recruited 50 Chinese patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia to analyze the state of SRSF2 and to assess the corresponding clinical features by polymerase chain reaction followed by direct sequencing.

Results

Ten of 50 patients (20%) harbored SRSF2 mutations, including five P95R, two 95H, and three P95L point mutations. The patient group was older than the wild type group (P <0.01). No significant statistical differences were observed with regard to the other clinical characteristics (sex, peripheral blood count, serum lactate dehydrogenase, karyotype, World Health Organization classification, etc.) between these two groups. Two of the patients showed an early evolution to acute myeloid leukemia.

Conclusions

SRSF2 mutations are frequent in chronic myelomonocytic leukemia patients, but show a relatively lower incidence in Chinese patients. Moreover, the mutation can be related to old age and an unfavorable prognosis. Our results provide valuable insights for the development of a diagnostic marker, or for the identification of a therapeutic target for chronic myelomonocytic leukemia.
Prognostic significance of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma after transcatheter arterial chemoembolization
Authors: Xu Xinsen , Chen Wei , Zhang Lingqiang , Miao Runchen , Zhou Yanyan , Wan Yong , Dong Yafeng , Liu Chang
Published: September 2023

Background

Accumulating evidence indicates that systemic inflammation response is associated with the prognosis of various cancers. The aim of this study was to investigate the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is one of the systemic inflammation markers, in the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after treatment of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).

Methods

The clinical data of 178 HCC patients who received TACE were retrospectively analyzed. The optimal NLR cutoff was determined according to the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. All patients were divided into NLR-normal group and NLR-elevated group according to the cutoff, and the clinical features of these two groups were comparatively analyzed. Meanwhile, the overall survival and disease free survival (DFS) were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. The risk factors of postoperative survival were investigated using univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses.

Results

The optimal NLR cutoff was defined at 1.85 and 42 (23.6%) patients had an elevated NLR (NLR>1.85). The median survival time was 9.5 months (range 1–99 months). The clinical data between the two groups were comparable, except for á-fetoprotein. Follow-up results showed that the median survival of patients with normal NLR was 17.5 months (range: 1–99 months) compared with 8 months (range: 8–68 months) of patients with elevated NLR. The 1, 3 and 5-year overall survival of patients in the NLR-normal group and NLR-elevated group were 57.3%, 44.1%, and 27.2% and 42.1%, 19.6%, and 9.5% respectively (χ
2=194.2, P <0.001). Similarly, the disease free survival also has a significant difference (χ
2=39.3, P <0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that a high NLR was an independent factor affecting the survival rate of HCC after TACE (P=0.04).

Conclusion

Preoperative NLR was an important prognostic factor to predict the prognosis of patients with intermediate HCC treated with TACE.

Los piretroides y carbamatos son agentes toxicológicos usados en agricultura que se asocian a toxicidad en algunos casos intencional y otros accidentes. El presente caso corresponde a una intoxicación en un adulto joven intencional con una mezcla de los 2 agentes mostrando toxicidad cardiovascular dado por una miocarditis con cambios electrocardiográficos en cara anterior e inferior. Aunque la patogenia no se comprende bien, una serie de características sugieren que puede ser causada por un espasmo o disfunción microvascular inducida por catecolaminas difusas, lo que resulta en un aturdimiento del miocardio. El aumento de los niveles de acetilcolina en la arteria coronaria también induciría la miocardiopatía, como se vio en un estudio anterior. La actividad de la acetilcolina aumenta después de la intoxicación por carbamatos. Postulamos que la miocardiopatía de nuestro paciente estaba relacionada con el exceso de catecolaminas y los efectos muscarínicos colinérgicos directos causados ​​por la intoxicación severa por carbamatos y piretroides. Este diagnóstico debe considerarse después de descartar el síndrome coronario agudo en un paciente intoxicado con plaguicidas que presenta dolor torácico retroesternal. El reconocimiento precoz permitirá mejores desenlaces razón por la cual alentamos a los clínicos a considerar las alteraciones miocárdicas en estos pacientes.
Importance of Communication in Obstetric Practice
Authors: Radeva Svetlana
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Communication is an art, a complex of methods of speaking, transmitting, perceiving information, and intentions. The elements of communication have an impact on the subjects and the processes taking place. Obstetric care has its specifics  and is sensitive to the content of information, the participants in the process of communication, and the way of perception.
AIM: The aim of this study is to differentiate the communication relationships of healthcare professionals in obstetric structures with patients, improving the safety of obstetric care. The subject of the study is medical specialists and patients from three obstetric structures in Sofia. Varna. Sociological methods of survey and observation are used.
METHODS: The data are processed using sociological methods that are used in survey. The data are processed with Microsoft Word and Excel.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: A survey was conducted among 206 respondents-healthcare professionals and patients. About 38.09% of  healthcare professionals rated communication as very good and 36.07% of patients as good. The problems in communication for the medics  are as follows: large administrative activity; workload; incompleteness of the information received; and lack of time for communication. In  patients, problems refer to misunderstanding of the information received, insufficient time to communicate with doctors, lack of empathy, and poor attitude. According to pregnant women, the leading factors for good obstetric care are personal attention, good communication with specialists, detailed information, and support.
CONCLUSION: Healthcare professionals must be able to conduct proper and patient-centered communication to provide them with the care that they want and need. Using the right communication strategies can help patients feel heard, and encourage them to provide accurate and relevant information so they can assist during the healing process.

Regeneration in a Neotropical land planarian (Platyhelminthes, Tricladida)
Authors: Boll Piter Kehoma , Rossi Ilana , Amaral Silvana Vargas do , Leal-Zanchet Ana Maria
Published: September 2023

Planarians are known for their ability to regenerate missing body parts. However, little is known about the regeneration ability of land planarians, especially regarding Neotropical species. Herein, we investigated the regeneration in the Neotropical land planarian Luteostriata abundans. Specimens were cut in two at different points along the body and monitored for 50 days. Larger and anterior pieces survived more than smaller posterior pieces. Anterior pieces that retained the pharynx continued to feed normally as intact animals, while posterior pieces that retained the pharynx lost its function temporarily. The growth rate was similar amongst all pieces across 50 days. Anterior mouthless pieces regenerated the pharynx and mouth significantly faster than posterior mouthless pieces. After 50 days, the relative position of the mouth along the body reached values close to intact animals in all regenerating pieces. In general, anterior pieces showed higher survival and regenerated faster than posterior fragments, which agrees with observations with other planarian species. However, surviving posterior pieces were able to retain the proportions of intact animals as well. Our results suggest that L. abundans has a good regenerative capacity similar to many freshwater planarians.
Figures du « retour à la terre »
Authors: Gazo Cécile
Published: September 2023

L’article analyse le renouveau des cadres culturels, politiques et économiques des imaginaires des aspirants à l’installation en agriculture. Il centre son propos sur des figures particulières : les candidats voulant faire de l’agriculture un projet professionnel, en rupture avec les motivations utopiques du retour à la terre des années 1970. Ces projets sont pris en étau entre plusieurs idéaux : réalisation de soi, portage d’une entreprise agricole alternative pour changer la société, transformation des méthodes culturales vers l’agro écologie, autosuffisance alimentaire et énergétique. L’archétype en est l’exploitation de petite taille, performante sur les plans environnemental, social et économique. Ils intègrent les injonctions à la viabilité économique des organisations et associations professionnelles auprès desquelles ils sollicitent un soutien. Mais, de leur côté, ces structures d’aide à l’installation peinent à appréhender leurs besoins et à les soutenir dans un contexte pourtant crucial de baisse vertigineuse du nombre d’agriculteurs.
L’aide alimentaire, facteur de résistance pour une démocratie alimentaire
Authors: Bonzi Bénédicte
Published: September 2023

Loin de se cantonner à une aide exceptionnelle et d’urgence, l’aide alimentaire est devenue le moyen de se nourrir pour des milliers de personnes. Dans cet article, l’autrice ne s’intéresse pas seulement à la question de l’aide, mais à celle plus globale du système alimentaire, de la production à la distribution. Partie du don inconditionnel avec les Restos du Cœur, l’aide alimentaire s’est profondément éloignée de l’esprit Coluche empreint de partage et d’humanisme, pour aller vers une organisation à but économique qui conduit à des violences alimentaires. Les bénéficiaires sont en effet assignés à une nourriture qu’ils n’ont pas choisie et qui heurte souvent leurs pratiques ou leur culture. Il s’agit pour les agro-industriels et distributeurs de faire des profits, spéculer sur le prix des denrées de base, recycler les produits invendables en « ramasses », profiter des subventions en denrées du Fonds social européen. Face à cette situation catastrophique, l’autrice jette les bases d’une Sécurité sociale alimentaire, universelle et répondant au droit à l’alimentation.
La méthode Selfood ou la pédagogie alimentaire

Published: September 2023

Cette conversation raconte deux expériences de mise en capacité de jeunes quant à la connaissance de leur propre alimentation. La première se dénomme Sugar Killer , c’est une expérience artistique qui s’intègre dans une recherche scientifique et pédagogique. Recherche-action d’éducation alimentaire hybridant art, alimentation et transformation du territoire, elle peut se résumer par le sous-titre « quand les collégiens enquêtent sur leurs sucres ». La seconde s’inscrit dans une recherche menée auprès d’étudiants de l’université de Poitiers une année avant le Covid (2019) et durant le Covid (2020). Elle a permis de comparer les mutations de ces pratiques en fonction de la situation familiale des étudiants. Les deux expériences s’appuient sur la méthode Selfood , qui consiste à faire prendre en photo les repas d’une personne sur plusieurs jours consécutifs, pour constituer une forme d’autoportrait alimentaire. Les paysages alimentaires récoltés sont le support d’une réflexion plus large sur le fonctionnement des systèmes agro-alimentaires, sur les choix et pratiques alimentaires des participant·es, et leurs effets sur la santé et l’environnement.

Le MST a connu de grands succès dans les années 1980 – 450 000 familles dans assentamentos (propriétaires) ou acampamentos (occupants) – et a servi d’exemple à de nombreuses mobilisations et occupations de terres dans le monde. Pendant l’ère Bolsonaro, le mouvement a connu diverses adaptations. Il a adopté le récit de l’entrepreneur agricole, influencé en cela par les évangélistes – de la « théologie de la libération » communautaire à la théologie individualiste de la réussite. Il a, par obligation et répression, délaissé l’action d’occupation des terres pour le développement de l’agriculture biologique et la production d’aliments « sains », largement à destination des villes. Ainsi, il resserre les liens entre le rural et l’urbain et se rapproche stratégiquement du Mouvement des Sans Toit.

Aussi bien la sensibilité végétarienne que l’enthousiasme que met Jean-Antoine Gleïzès (1773-1843) pour propager son « régime des herbes » se comprennent mieux une fois qu’est mise au jour la problématique au centre de l’évangile de la régénération sociale : justice et égalité. C’est à l’aune de cette problématique, que l’œuvre de Gleïzès connaîtra la postérité, en France et ailleurs.
Comment la démographie influence-t-elle le changement climatique ? Le cas de l’Europe
Authors: Natale Fabrizio , Ueffing Philipp , Deuster Christoph
Published: September 2023

Cet article explore les interactions entre le changement climatique et la démographie au sein de l’Union européenne. L’Union européenne s’est engagée à atteindre la neutralité climatique en 2050. Au niveau mondial, la croissance de la population se poursuivra en dépit de la baisse de la fécondité, en raison de la croissance démographique passée et de la structure par âge jeune de la population mondiale actuelle (inertie démographique). Cette dynamique signifie que le verdissement de l’économie de l’Europe et des autres grands pays émetteurs constitue le principal levier de réduction des émissions mondiales à l’horizon 2050. Au niveau européen, nos résultats révèlent l’effet déterminant de l’âge : les émissions individuelles sont plus élevées aux âges avancés. Les comportements et les attitudes à l’égard du changement climatique importent également. Dans un contexte de vieillissement de la population européenne, les différences intergénérationnelles de consommation et d’attitude représentent un défi supplémentaire pour les politiques climatiques.
Les marges des entretiens réalisés en présence des enfants
Authors: Giraud Frédérique
Published: September 2023

Cet article montre comment l’observation des enfants dans les marges des entretiens constitue un matériau particulièrement utile pour mettre au jour la différenciation sociale des pratiques éducatives des familles. À partir d’une enquête menée dans 18 familles portant sur les appropriations des jeux Montessori, nous questionnons les conditions de l’accueil du sociologue chez les enquêtés, l’enrôlement des enfants dans la situation d’enquête ethnographique et les circonstances entourant la mise en place de l’entretien en démontrant que, loin de ne constituer qu’une condition de réalisation de l’enquête et un préalable nécessaire à l’enregistrement efficace des matériaux, ces marges méthodologiques des entretiens offrent un matériau à analyser pour lui-même.
Entre normes familiales et normes scolaires
Authors: Camus Jérôme , Geay Bertrand
Published: September 2023

Cet article s’intéresse à l’articulation des différentes expériences des enfants au cours de leurs premières années et aux logiques selon lesquelles se construisent leurs préférences, leurs goûts et leurs jugements, autrement dit leurs dispositions sociales et morales, en particulier lors de leur scolarité maternelle. Dans cette perspective, un dispositif d’enquête original de questionnaires ludiques sur Internet auprès d’enfants âgés de 5 à 6 ans (n = 4 242) de la cohorte Elfe (Étude longitudinale française depuis l’enfance) est utilisé et exploité. L’analyse conduit à distinguer et à articuler les dispositions morales, les rapports à la scolarisation et aux normes scolaires que développent les enfants, en mettant en évidence des configurations variant principalement avec leur sexe et secondairement avec les propriétés sociales de leur famille. Elle met notamment au jour une forme de distance aux normes scolaires plus fréquente chez les garçons et dans les classes supérieures et, inversement, une forme d’adhésion aux normes scolaires chez les filles de catégories populaires.
Researching Grandchildhood from the Perspective of Children in a Brazilian School: Methodological Approaches
Authors: Carolina Ramos Anne
Published: September 2023

Bien que la grand-parentalité se soit imposée comme un domaine de recherche à part entière, le point de vue des petits-enfants est rarement abordé. Ainsi, notre vision de la relation intergénérationnelle entre grands-parents et petits-enfants reflète un point de vue à la fois adulte et générationnel, donc partiel. L’une des raisons de l’invisibilité des enfants tient aux défis rencontrés par les chercheurs lorsqu’ils mènent des recherches avec des enfants sur des sujets dits sensibles, comme les relations familiales intergénérationnelles. Cet article aborde cette question à travers une étude qualitative menée dans le sud du Brésil sur le point de vue des enfants sur leur relation avec leurs grands-parents dans des familles nucléaires, monoparentales, à trois générations et reconstituées. Il défend l’importance d’une recherche qui rebat les cartes des différences entre adultes et enfants et qui utilise des méthodes multipartites encourageant la participation active des enfants à la recherche. Les résultats montrent que l’opinion des petits-enfants joue un rôle central dans les relations familiales et remet en cause les positions générationnelles assignées aux parents et aux grands-parents.
Les normes enfantines du « bien manger » par le prisme de leurs repas de rêves
Authors: Bister Audrey
Published: September 2023

Quelles sont les places respectives des pairs et de la famille dans la construction sociale des goûts alimentaires pendant l’enfance ? À partir de l’étude de dessins et de menus produits par des enfants de 4 à 14 ans issus de classes moyenne et supérieure urbaines, au cours d’une enquête par monographies familiales menée depuis 2020, ainsi que lors d’entretiens avec ces enfants et avec leurs parents, cet article montre que la sociogenèse des goûts alimentaires passe à la fois par les pairs et par la famille (parents et fratrie). Cette dualité semble à première vue résulter d’une tension entre des goûts proches des recommandations nutritionnelles et des préférences plutôt issues de la « culture McDo ». Toutefois, cette tension ne reflète pas l’existence d’une culture alimentaire enfantine autonome de la culture alimentaire de classe, elle est au contraire caractéristique de l’alimentation des familles de milieux aisés. En effet, cette dernière est marquée par un respect des normes nutritionnelles au quotidien et une alimentation plus festive le week-end, qui permettent de réconcilier des injonctions alimentaires multiples et contradictoires. Ainsi, les enfants apprennent précocement à concilier des normes plurielles et à développer des goûts « omnivores ».
Alteration in Microcirculation With Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: A Study of Dynamic Contrast-Enhanced MRI

Published: September 2023

Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is commonly used in clinical practice to detect tumor blood supply, and it has recently been applied to assess skeletal vasculature. In this study, we retrospectively analyzed DCE-MRI data from 37 patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head to evaluate alterations in microvascular circulation of the femoral head. Time-intensity curves (TICs) in the region of interest were classified into different lesion stages. In the greater trochanter area, extracellular space volume per unit volume of tissue was significantly higher in Association Research Circulation Osseous (ARCO) stage III than in ARCO stage II (
P
<.05 and power ≥ 0.8), while other parameters showed no statistical difference (
P
>.05 and/or power < 0.8). In the necrotic area, contrast enhancement ratio and maximum slope of increase were significantly lower in ARCO stage III than in ARCO stage II (
P
<.05 and power ≥ 0.8), while other parameters showed no statistical difference (
P
>.05 and/or power < 0.8). In the repair reaction area, all parameters were significantly higher in ARCO stage III than in ARCO stage II (
P
<.05 and power ≥ 0.8). TIC classification showed that the greater trochanter area mainly exhibited type C (plateau type), the necrotic area mainly exhibited type B (out-flow type), and the repair reaction area mainly exhibited type A (inflow type). We believe that the exchange capacity of the vessels has a much greater impact on femoral head necrosis than the number of vessels, while the generation of the repair area greatly affects the prognosis of femoral head necrosis. These findings suggest that DCE-MRI can provide a good assessment of osteonecrosis of the femoral head perfusion and can serve as a new reference for clinical treatment decisions. [

Improving the Patient Experience During Care in the Orthopedic Cast Room
Authors: Gibson Jerry , Rivera Jessica C.
Published: September 2023

Patients regularly have casts, splints, and wounds that require attention in the clinic. Patients commonly experience anxiety and pain during such visits. We hypothesized that aromatherapy and music would improve these patients' pain and anxiety when compared with no exposure. Patients in the orthopedic cast room were randomly exposed to no experience, music, or aromatherapy. Postprocedural surveys using an abbreviated form of the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (5 items; 4-point Likert scale) and a visual analog scale (0 to 10) were used to collect patient perceptions that were then compared using Spearman rank correlation calculations,
t
tests, and ordinal regression. Correlation results for the anxiety inventory were not different for patients with music or aromatherapy exposure vs no exposure; however, lower anxiety inventory scores were correlated with lower pain scores for upset, frightened, nervous, and confused measures. Mean reported pain scores were statistically lower for patients exposed to music (3.0) or aromatherapy (3.9) compared with patients who had no exposure (5.1;
P
=.004). These results support our hypothesis that exposure to music or aromatherapy improves pain. Although neither music nor aromatherapy resulted in significantly lower scores on the anxiety inventory items, the attention to patients' pain could have an indirect effect on their anxiety. [

Designing the nationwide emission trading scheme in China
Authors: Chen Shuyang
Published: September 2023

Emission trading scheme (ETS) is popular to abate anthropogenic emissions throughout the world. Previous researchers focused on evaluating ETS policy effect, but ETS design is usually neglected because ETS is already mostly sophisticated worldwide. This is not the case in China, as the Chinese nationwide ETS (CNETS) came into effect in July 2021. Implemented for a brief period, the CNETS lacks implementation details and thus may not achieve mitigation targets cost-effectively. In this paper, we attempt to narrow the research gap by comprehensively designing the CNETS. Our research framework is based on a dynamic recursive computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. The CGE model results show that the appropriate CNETS should include the coverage of the electricity generation and manufacturing sectors, higher carbon price (175 ${CNY} / {t} {CO}_2$), quota allocation based on the carbon intensity in the previous year, higher quota decline factor (2%) and time-decreasing free quota ratio. Although we have only designed the Chinese ETS in this paper, the research framework may become a paradigm of designing appropriate ETS.
A successive midpoint method for nonlinear differential equations with classical and Caputo-Fabrizio derivatives
Authors: Atangana Abdon , Araz Seda İğret
Published: September 2023

In this study, we present a numerical scheme for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations with classical and Caputo–Fabrizio derivatives using consecutive interval division and the midpoint approach. By doing so, we increased the accuracy of the midpoint approach, which is dependent on the number of interval divisions. In the example of the Caputo–Fabrizio differential operator, we established the existence and uniqueness of the solution using the Caratheodory-Tonelli sequence. We solved numerous nonlinear equations and determined the global error to test the accuracy of the proposed scheme. When the differential equation met the circumstances under which it was generated, the results revealed that the procedure was quite accurate.
