Diffusion émodécisionnelle non-programmée : le rôle des leaders d’émotions et de la résistance émotionnelle des suiveurs
Authors: Piré-Lechalard Pierre , van Hoorebeke Delphine
Published: June 2021

Des recherches ont montré qu’une décision ne peut être prise en excluant les émotions de l’équation, pendant que d’autres ont avancé que les émotions sont contagieuses. De notre côté, nous avançons qu’elles peuvent être un véhicule des décisions au sein d’un groupe de travail et que, dans ce cas, les décisions se diffusent plus rapidement que sous une diffusion cognitive de l’information. Pour aller plus loin dans la réflexion, nous pensons que la présence d’individus que nous qualifions de leaders d’émotion (agents contaminants) ainsi que d’individus récepteurs émotionnels (agents contaminés) augmentent la contagiosité d’une décision, en particulier dans les organisations. Si de nombreuses études ont porté sur la prise de décision managériale, leur diffusion sous influence émotionnelle reste peu approfondie. De même, les décisions non-programmées (non routinière) ont été peu étudiées. La présente étude se propose, ainsi, de montrer cette influence au travers d’une expérimentation couplée à une méthodologie sociographique. Cette expérience permet (1) d’isoler l’adoption d’une décision prise sous influence des émotions (2) de mettre en exergue le seuil de résistance émotionnelle (le niveau de porosité aux émotions) des individus d’un réseau social et (3) de préciser le rôle des leaders d’émotions pour l’acceptation d’une décision non-programmée dans un système social. L’étude confirme que les émotions sont des signaux d’alertes qui accélèrent la diffusion des décisions non-programmées, révèle un rôle ambivalent des leaders d’émotion et la faculté à « mimiquer » des résistants émotionnels. La discussion des résultats met en lumière les capacités et valeurs essentielles des leaders d’émotion.
El catastro, la estadística y Martín de Garay en la Comunidad de Madrid, 1817-1820
Authors: Bringas Gutiérrez Miguel Ángel , Del Mazo Durango Íñigo , Mercapide Argüello Guillermo , Aguilar Cuesta Ángel Ignacio
Published: June 2021

El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar el proceso de gestación de la documentación catastral y estadística producida por la reforma fiscal de Martín de Garay en la provincia de Madrid entre 1817 y 1820. Esta documentación estaba formada por los Apeos y valuaciones generales del capital y productos específicos de todas las tierras, edificios y propiedades que son un catastro o paracatastro y los Cuadernos generales de la riqueza que son las descripciones estadísticas de las producciones e ingresos agrarios elaborados en cada una de las villas, pueblos, lugares y despoblados madrileños durante esos años. Las operaciones emprendidas por las distintas juntas implicadas en su elaboración dieron como resultado que, al menos, los cuadernos generales de la riqueza de todos los pueblos y villas de Madrid se hubieran concluido en el verano de 1818. En la parte final del texto detallamos los fondos localizados, hasta el momento, en los archivos municipales de la Comunidad de Madrid y como este corpus documental debe formar parte del repertorio de fuentes geohistóricas disponibles a escala nacional.
The coinage of Arsinoe-Methana
Authors: Meadows Andrew
Published: June 2021

L’étude est consacrée à un inventaire par coins du monnayage en bronze d’Arsinoé-Méthana en Argolide, qui est frappé sous les deux appellations de la cité. La chronologie en est revue et, sur base du témoignage des trésors, on propose de placer les monnaies au nom de Méthana après celles d’Arsinoè, plutôt que l’inverse. D’où il résulte que Méthana n’émit aucun monnayage avant l’installation d’une base ptolémaïque dans la Péninsule. Disparaît ainsi toute preuve de l’existence d’une cité indépendante avant la création d’un établissement ptolémaïque.
Κυκλοφορία πελοποννησιακών κοπών στη δυτική Κρήτη
Authors: Σκορδου Μαρία
Published: June 2021

La collection numismatique du musée de La Canée conserve un nombre significatif de monnaies frappées par des villes de Grèce continentale. On en présente ici, pour la première fois, les frappes péloponnésiennes, soit un ensemble de 34 monnaies, pour examiner les raisons de leur présence en Crète occidentale dans le cadre géographique et chronologique qui est le leur. Elles nous offrent ainsi une image de la circulation monétaire du début du ive s. au ier s. av. J.-C., constituée avant tout par des émissions d’argent d’Argos et de la Ligue achéenne, surtout de Corinthe et de Sicyone. Les monnaies attribuées à l’Élide, à Mégalopolis et à Sparte sont moins nombreuses. L’essentiel des pièces sont des trioboles en argent, parvenues dans l’île par le commerce, la piraterie et, surtout, le mercenariat. La plupart des monnaies examinées proviennent de fouilles, ce qui confirme la provenance locale des autres exemplaires semblables conservés dans les collections du Musée, qu’elles aient été offertes par des particuliers qui les ont trouvées sur le territoire d’une cité antique ou qu’il s’agisse d’acquisitions anciennes.
Από την Πελοπόννησο στην Κρήτη: Νομισματική κυκλοφορία και εικονογραφικές επιρροές
Authors: Στεφανακησ Μανόλης Ι.
Published: June 2021

Les monnaies péloponnésiennes circulent largement dans toute la Crète à la haute époque hellénistique. Les monnaies d’Argos, de Corinthe et de Sicyone sont de loin les plus nombreuses, en raison de leur étalon très proche de l’étalon crétois, avec pour conséquence, quand elles ne servent pas immédiatement de monnaies d’échange ou de réserve, qu’elles pouvaient être utilisées comme flans pour des frappes locales ou être contremarquées pour recevoir cours légal dans l’île. Argos paraît avoir influencé l’iconographie d’une série de villes au centre de la Crète septentrionale, Tylissos, Cnossos et Lyttos, tandis que l’Arcadie a inspiré les séries de Praisos, de Chersonèsos et d’Olonte à l’est de l’île. Les raisons de cet afflux de monnaies péloponnésiennes en Crète, de leur circulation dans l’île et des influences iconographiques qui se sont exercées sur certains ateliers monétaires sont à rechercher dans les liens de parenté et les relations politiques entre cités péloponnésiennes et crétoises, mais aussi dans la situation centrale de la Crète sur les routes commerciales en Méditerranée, sans oublier la paie des mercenaires qui jusqu’à un certain point rend aussi compte de la présence des monnaies péloponnésiennes dans l’île.

Published: June 2021

Les auteurs présentent un petit trésor découvert à Trapeza, à 8 km d’Aigion (Péloponnèse), composé de dix monnaies de bronze, cinq de Cassandre et cinq d’Antigone Gonatas. On peut le dater de la période immédiatement postérieure à la guerre de Chrémonidès (c. 262-260 av. J.-C.) et le comparer à ceux de Phayttos (IGCH 159) et Karditsa (IGCH 162). Il prend place parmi de nombreux autres petits trésors de 10/15 monnaies de bronze, qui sont à mettre en relation avec les garnisons militaires éparpillées dans toute la Grèce.
La frappe monétaire syllanienne dans le Péloponnèse durant la première guerre mithridatique : Retour sur les monnaies « luculliennes »
Authors: Assenmaker Pierre
Published: June 2021

Dans la Vie de Lucullus, Plutarque mentionne que la monnaie produite par les soins de L. Lucullus dans le Péloponnèse durant la première guerre mithridatique fut appelée « lucullienne », désignation confirmée par un acte d’affranchissement delphique de la fin du ier s. av. J.-C. Cet article tente d’abord d’inscrire la production de ce monnayage dans le contexte militaire et financier des opérations syllaniennes en Grèce continentale. Sont ensuite réexaminés systématiquement les éléments en faveur de l’identification traditionnelle des monnaies « luculliennes » avec les stéphanéphores syllaniens. Loin de se contredire, le texte de Plutarque et les monogrammes renvoyant au « questeur Marcus », le frère de L. Lucullus, indiquent une collaboration des deux personnages à différents niveaux de la production monétaire. Enfin, on ne peut reconnaître les « luculliennes » dans certaines des dernières émissions de la ligue achéenne, dont la datation au ier s. est elle-même douteuse.
An adaptive and strategic human-centred design approach to shaping pandemic design education that promotes wellbeing
Authors: Van der Bijl-Brouwer Mieke , Price Rebecca Anne
Published: June 2021

Positive student wellbeing is intrinsically connected to positive learning outcomes. Students learn more when they feel well, and the way we shape education influences the way students feel. The COVID-19 crisis has forced us to radically change our design education and is having a large impact on student wellbeing and learning. While some students manage well to adapt to the new circumstances, others struggle and face challenges such as risk of burnout, lack of motivation, and social isolation. In this paper we describe how we approached this challenge by applying methods and principles from strategic human-centred design and systems thinking. The strategic design approach included researching values and patterns in student and staff experiences. The systems approach meant that we saw the university as a complex adaptive system, which focused our activities on connecting staff and students who were and are running multiple creative experiments to promote student wellbeing. This approach is strategic because it supports continuous design and implementation of initiatives to promote wellbeing. While this is work in progress, we here present a number of design principles that we developed through this work that enable future designs that promote student wellbeing in (pandemic) higher education.
Invisible to Visible: Identifying the Emerging Communication Needs in the ‘New Normal’ through Design Research
Authors: Orhun Simge Esin , Yildirim Yasemin
Published: June 2021

The pandemic, which started at the end of 2019, has affected societies in their own          socio-cultural contexts and altered the interactions of human beings through their use of personal spaces and objects. Changes in the design of a wide range of objects varying from small tools to urban furniture are anticipated, as the “new normal” will be fully established in the coming months and years. We believe that each individual is recognized to be affected by a different aspect of pandemic, which yielded the fact that for such cases the paradigm for design may shift to favor user needs more than maintaining usability. This study examined the personal behavioral transformations after the acceptance of “new normal” and how these would be reflected on the design of everyday objects, tools or spaces. In order to address this problem, we developed design research method that was based on the tales of utopic cities found in the novel Invisible Cities, by Italo Calvino. In this method, students, who already started living under the requirements of curfew, were guided to turn inwards and relate with their needs that arouse in the pandemic period with one selected city narrative and try to find design solutions based on the metaphorical narration and language used in the selected story. From the analysis of 17 works based on abductive reasoning, we obtained results in two different categories: (i) 5 generic cases supported by user scenarios, (ii) 3 groups of artifacts interacted by analogue means.
Re-Start Italy: (post-)Covid19 Lessons for Full Scope Renovation of the Italian Public Space
Authors: Gruosso Stefania
Published: June 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic has suddenly upset the way we used to live. When eventually lockdown ended, the desire to return to open spaces while respecting social distancing have challenged the role of public space as a space for interaction. In Italy, one of the most affected countries, the piazza as public space par excellence has not remained immune to the issue. This contribution addresses four Italian design experiences that have tried to give an immediate answer to the needs of these precise historical circumstances.  The Covid-19 emergency can become an opportunity for innovation in the project and in the way the piazza can be perceived and experienced. New approaches and processes of regeneration of the piazza lead to reconsider the role of the project and that of the architect. An updated idea of public space as a problem-solver space follows suit, turning the piazza into a space that does not need to project itself into the future, but aims to answer to current needs embracing new core features: temporariness, flexibility, functionality, repeatability and the community’s contribution. The idea of the piazza as a permanent public space is replaced by that of an adaptive public space. Such an open phenomenology is starting to think of the piazza as a space for experiences - a space that, while respecting the Covid-19 logistical constraints, allows people to return, in new ways, to social interactions.
Do Social Networking Fan Page Posts Matter for Corporate Image?
Authors: Shin Soo Il , Hall Dianne J. , Han Sumin , Paradice David , Lang Teresa
Published: June 2021

The purpose of the current study is to examine factors affecting corporate image driven by social networking fan pages on Facebook. Under the modified elaboration likelihood model (ELM), we answer how fan page contributor post quality (FPQ) and source credibility (FPC) influence fan page post informativeness (FPI) and in turn, impact corporate image. We tested the hypotheses by analyzing survey responses using a covariance-based SEM method from 178 respondents who follow at least one company fan page on Facebook. The findings reveal that FPQ and FPC play a salient role in explaining FPI, which, in turn, impacts the corporate image. Our results show that uncertainty about products or services posted on a fan page significantly moderates the relationships among FPQ, FPC, and FPI. Implications and limitations are discussed.

Authors: Porter Edith , Amiel Eyal , Bose Nandita , Bottaro Andrea , Carr William H , Swanson-Mungerson Michelle , Varga Steven M , Jameson Julie M
Published: June 2021

Identifying the “essential” components of an undergraduate immunology lecture course can be daunting because of the varying postgraduate pathways students take. The American Association of Immunologists Education Committee commissioned an Ad Hoc Committee, representing undergraduate, graduate, and medical institutions as well as the biotechnology community, to develop core curricular recommendations for teaching immunology to undergraduates. In a reiterative process involving the American Association of Immunologists teaching community, 14 key topics were identified and expanded to include foundational concepts, subtopics and examples, and advanced subtopics, providing a flexible list for curriculum development and avenues for higher-level learning. Recommendations for inclusive and antiracist teaching that outline opportunities to meet the needs of diverse student populations were also developed. The consensus recommendations can be used to accommodate various course settings and will bridge undergraduate and graduate teaching and prepare diverse students for subsequent careers in the biomedical field.

Authors: Patra Susama , Chouhan Mohd. Imran , Nayak Hemanta Kumar , Panigrahi Manas Kumar , Bhat Sunil Jee , Padhi Somnath , Samal Subash Chandra
Published: June 2021

POEMS syndrome is a rare paraneoplastic condition associated with polyneuropathy, organomegaly, monoclonal gammopathy, and endocrine and skin changes. It is a fatal disease and associated with compromised quality of life through volume overload, neuropathy, thromboembolic events, and weight loss. A diagnosis of POEMS syndrome is made with three of the major criteria, two of which must include polyneuropathy and monoclonal plasma cell proliferative disorder and at least one minor criterion Gastrointestinal (GI) involvement with initial predominant presentation as chronic diarrhea is extremely rare and rarely reported in the literature. Here, we highlight a case of Castleman disease variant of POEMS syndrome with predominant GI involvement and discuss plausible pathogenesis mechanism in relevance to the available literature.

Antihyperglycemic and Antioxidant Potential of Plant Extract of Litchi chinensis and Glycine max
Authors: Chauhan Samrat , Gupta Sumeet , Yasmin Sabina , Saini Monika
Published: June 2021

Background:

Diabetes mellitus, an endocrine disease, is a major health concern all over the world. Litchi chinensis Gaertn. and Glycine max (L.) Merr have been traditionally used in Chinese medicines for the treatment of various disorders. The present study was carried out to explore the antioxidant and antihyperglycemic potential of ethyl acetate and hydroethanolic extracts of L. chinensis fruit pericarp and G. max seed coats.

Methods:

Phytoconstituents of ethyl acetate and hydroethanolic extracts of L. chinensis fruit pericarp and G. max seed coat were investigated using preliminary qualitative techniques. In vitro and in vivo antioxidant potential of ethyl acetate and hydroethanolic extracts was assessed using 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) free radical scavenging, reducing power assays, total phenol content, glutathione (GSH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). In vivo antihyperglycemic activity was assessed using alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Blood glucose levels were evaluated on 0, 7th, 14th, and 28th day of the study.

Results:

Hydroethanolic extracts of both plants exhibited superior antioxidant activity to ethyl acetate extract. A marked increase in levels of serum glucose was observed in diabetic rats. Ethyl acetate and hydroalcoholic extract treatment for 28 days accounted for decreased blood glucose levels in hyperglycemic rats.

Conclusions:

The present study suggests that ethyl acetate and hydroethanolic extracts of L. chinensis fruit pericarp and G. max seed coats possess potent antioxidant antihyperglycemic activities and have potential as a therapeutic agent in diabetes.
Perceived stigma among the patients of coronavirus disease-19 admitted at a dedicated COVID-19 hospital in Northern India
Authors: Yadav Arun Kumar , Mangal Vishal , Devarakonda Ravi , Srivastava Kalpana
Published: June 2021

Background:

Coronavirus disease-related stigma started early in the pandemic with multiple media reports highlighting the discriminatory practices toward the health-care workers, patients, and survivors.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted in a designated COVID -19 hospital in Delhi from 22 October 20 to 21 November 20. All patients admitted to the hospital for more than 72 h were eligible for participation in the study. Anyone without a mobile phone and not able to read was excluded from the study. The data were collected using a pretested, prevalidated questionnaire.

Results:

One hundred and twenty-two (92.4%) patients answered the questionnaire. All patients were male. A total of 54 (44.26%: 95% confidence interval [CI] 35.3–53.5) COVID-19 patients blamed themselves for getting the infection, compared to 68 (55.74% 95% CI: 46.5–64.7) patients who believed that acquiring the disease was not their fault. There was a statistically significant association between feeling ashamed and blaming themselves for COVID-19 (P = 0.046). A total of 19 (15.6%) have reported that they have been told that getting COVID-19 is your fault.

Conclusion:

The stigma related to COVID - 19 needs to be tackled with multipronged strategy. In India, it is not a routine to assess mental health; however, the current pandemic has brought forward the importance of stigma and other related issues during the pandemic.
Role of age at onset in the clinical presentation of bipolar disorder in Indian population
Authors: Soni Ajitabh , Singh Paramjeet , Kumar Sunil , Shah Raghav , Batra Lalit , Verma Manoj
Published: June 2021

Objective:

The objective of this study was to determine any association of age at onset (AAO) with clinical presentation of bipolar disorder (BD) and family history of illness.

Materials and Methods:

A hospital-based cross-sectional observational study was conducted including 162 patients having a diagnosis of BD current episode manic. Individuals were divided into three subgroups according to AAO, i.e., early-onset BD (EOBD) (AAO ≤21 years), intermediate-onset BD (AAO – 22–34 years), and late-onset BD (AAO ≥35 years). The subgroups were compared on clinical variables; items of the Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), and Scale for the Assessment of Positive Symptoms (SAPS); and family history of illness.

Results:

The early-onset group had significantly more episodes per year than the other groups (P < 0.001). The prevalence of family history of mood disorder was also significantly higher in the early-onset group than the other subgroups. AAO was found to be significantly associated with different items of YMRS, HAM-D, and SAPS. The early-onset group had higher rating on irritability, motor activity–energy, sexual interest, depressed mood, delusions, and thought disorders, whereas the late-onset group had higher rating on elevated mood.

Conclusion:

EOBD can be considered as a specific phenotype of BD, which is more homogenous, severe, and inheritable form of illness.
The clinical conundrum of a catecholamine secreting giant adrenal myelolipoma
Authors: Jindal Tarun , Mukherjee Satyadip , Koju Rajan , Giri Sandip
Published: June 2021

Adrenal myelolipomas are uncommon tumours of unknown aetiology. They arise from the adrenal cortex and comprise lipomatous and myeloid elements. They are considered to be functionally inert, and metabolic evaluation is not mandatory for them. Adrenal myelolipomas can rarely be functionally active, and patients may present with hypertension, electrolyte imbalance or features of Cushing's syndrome. The association of these tumours with catecholamine secretion is exceptionally rare. We describe a case of a functional adrenal myelolipoma associated with catecholamine secretion in a 55-year-old female patient with a history of hypertension. The surgical excision of the mass resulted in normalisation of the urinary catecholamine levels and resolution of the hypertension.
Relative Influence of Overall and Central Body Adiposity on Lung Function and Development of Lung Function Predictive Model for Adolescents in Tripura
Authors: Sutradhar Balaram , Choudhuri Dipayan , Hore Samrat
Published: June 2021

Background:

Population-specific reference values are necessary for maintaining the reliability of pulmonary function evaluation. There are very few studies that have included body adiposity markers as the predictors of lung function, instead of age and height.

Objectives:

A gender-specific lung function predictive model of adolescents was developed using overall and central adiposity markers. The relative influences of both markers on pulmonary functions were also evaluated.

Methods:

Anthropometric and pulmonary function parameters of the subjects were recorded. The percentage body fat, fat mass (FM), fat-free mass (FFM), and body density were calculated. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS 16.0.

Results:

Significant differences between sexes for anthropometric measures were observed. The mean values of waist circumference (71.94 ± 2.33 mm for female vs. 71.37 ± 2.25 mm for male; P < 0.0005), body composition (5.83 ± 1.27 mm for female vs. 4.71 ± 0.83 mm for male; P < 0.0005), and sum of skinfolds (35.71 ± 4.48 mm for female vs. 34.66 ± 3.01 mm for male; P < 0.0005) were higher in female in comparison to male. Males had significantly higher subscapular skinfold thickness (9.39 ± 1.05 mm, compared with 9.17 ± 1.05 mm for females; P = 0.003). Mean values of central adiposity markers such as waist-hip-ratio (0.88 ± 0.01 for female vs. 0.87 ± 0.01, for male; P < 0.0005) and waist-to-height ratio (0.47 ± 0.004 for female vs. 0.47 ± 0.01, for male; P = 0.002) as well as overall adiposity markers such as percentage body fat (23.81 ± 1.11 for female vs. 18.98 ± 1.20, for male; P = 0.001) and FM (11.27 ± 1.83 kg for female vs. 8.94 ± 1.16, kg for male; P < 0.0005) were significantly higher in female compared to male. Mean FFM (38.17 ± 4.38 mm for male vs. 35.81 ± 3.93 mm for female; P < 0.0005) was significantly higher in male. All the pulmonary function parameters were significantly higher in male compared to female. Results showed the existence of significant mean differences in pulmonary function measures across the three body fat percentage groups in both sexes, with linear decrease of mean values of lung function with the increase of body fat percentage. Post hoc pair-wise multiple comparisons were done to compare the lung function between groups.

Conclusion:

Overall adiposity marker would explain variation in the pulmonary function parameters better than central adiposity markers in adolescents of both sexes.
Does religiosity in persons with schizophrenia influence medication adherence
Authors: Triveni Davuluri , Grover Sandeep , Chakrabarti Subho
Published: June 2021

Background:

Little information is available regarding the effect of religiosity and spirituality on medication adherence in patients with schizophrenia.

Aim:

This study aimed to evaluate the association of medication adherence with different aspects of religiosity and spirituality in patients with schizophrenia.

Materials and Methods:

One hundred patients with schizophrenia were evaluated on religiousness measure scale and Duke Religion Index (DUREL); Brief Religious Coping Scale (Brief RCOPE); World Health Organization Quality of Life Spirituality, Religiosity, and Personal Beliefs (WHOQoL-SRPB); and Brief Adherence Rating Scale (BARS).

Results:

A higher level of religiosity as assessed by the religiousness measure scale, private religious activities and intrinsic religiosity as per DUREL, positive religious coping, and all the domains of WHOQOL-SRPB was associated with better medication compliance as assessed by the percentage of doses of medications consumed in the last 1 month as evaluated by using BARS.

Conclusion:

The present study suggests that a higher level of religiosity and spirituality were associated with better medication compliance.
Externalizing psychopathology and cognitive functions in patients with early- and late-onset alcohol dependence
Authors: Das Anamika , Kar Sujita Kumar , Dalal Pronob Kumar , Gupta Pawan Kumar
Published: June 2021

Background:

Alcohol use disorder is attributing to a significant health-care burden worldwide. Early-onset alcohol dependence is associated with more adverse outcomes than those with late-onset alcohol dependence. Comorbid externalizing disorders and cognitive deficits may be associated with the negative outcomes in early-onset alcohol dependence. This study aims at exploring the externalizing psychopathology and cognitive performance in early-onset alcohol dependence versus late-onset alcohol dependence.

Materials and Methods:

This is a cross-sectional study carried out on patients attending the psychiatry unit of a tertiary care center of north India after obtaining approval from the institutional ethics committee. A total of 57 patients with alcohol dependence enrolled in the study, after screening a total of 112 patients. Patients were evaluated for the externalizing psychopathology (using SSAGA intravenous [IV]) and cognitive performance (using Wisconsin Card Sorting Test [WCST] and continuous performance test [CPT]). Comparison of sociodemographic, clinical variables as well as externalizing psychopathology and cognitive performance was done between early-onset and late-onset alcohol dependence.

Results:

Comparison between early-onset and late-onset alcohol dependence revealed that the score of individual externalizing psychopathologies and the total externalizing psychopathology score on SSAGA IV in the early-onset group are significantly higher than late-onset alcohol dependence. Similarly, there is a significant difference in the executive functions (on WCST) between the two groups (early onset < late onset). On CPT, there are significantly more errors of omission in the early-onset group in comparison to their late-onset counterparts.

Conclusion:

Early-onset alcohol dependence is associated with more externalizing psychopathology and more cognitive dysfunction than late-onset alcohol dependence.
Perceived stress, marital satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction in spouses of males having bipolar disorder with and without alcohol use disorder
Authors: Mukhopadhyay Sanchari , Sharma Sneha , Aggarwal Apala , Kataria Dinesh
Published: June 2021

Background:

Bipolar affective disorder (BPAD) and alcohol use disorder (AUD) are frequently comorbid and affect the social, occupational, and personal domains of patients and their spouses.

Aim:

This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess and compare the levels of stress, marital satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction between the spouses of males with BPAD + AUD and of those without AUD.

Materials and Methods:

Spouses of 100 males with diagnosed BPAD, currently in remission, including fifty patients having comorbid AUD, were recruited as participants. Participants were assessed with Perceived Stress Scale-10, Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and Sexuality Scale.

Statistical Analysis:

Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, t-test, analysis of variance, and correlation on SPSS were used for statistical analysis.

Results:

More stress (59%), poorer marital (53%) and sexual satisfaction (89%) were found in the majority participants, with significantly higher stress in the group with husbands having both BPAD + AUD (P < 0.01). Duration of cohabitation had a direct, and education and family income had inverse relations with stress.

Conclusions:

BPAD worsens stress, marital satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction in the study participants, the stress increasing further with comorbid AUD. Education, family income, and duration of cohabitation have a significant bearing on stress.

Authors: Nayak Ajita S. , Nachane Hrishikesh Bipin , Keshari Prerna , Parkar Shubhangi R. , Saurabh Kumar Hemant , Arora Manan
Published: June 2021

Background:

Nonadherence in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be as high as 80%, yet studies on adherence to medications in preadolescent children are few. Recent Indian trends in prescription patterns are lacking.

Aim:

The present study assesses prescription patterns and adherence to medications in preadolescent children with ADHD.

Materials and Methods:

Fifty children aged 5–12 years with ADHD, who were on medications for at least 6 months, were enrolled. Their sociodemographic factors and prescription details were noted. Vanderbilt ADHD Diagnostic Parents Rating Scale and Compliance Rating Scale were administered.

Results:

Sixty-two percent of the children had good compliance, whereas 38% showed reluctance. Adherence was better in children with shorter duration of illness, lesser severity, absence of side effects, and stimulant prescription. Non–stimulant-based combination (40%) was more common compared to stimulants (28%), with atomoxetine and risperidone being the most commonly prescribed medications.

Conclusions:

Adherence to medications in preadolescent children with ADHD is good. Associated factors and implications are discussed.
It Takes a Village: A Case Study of Business Development and Innovation in a UAS/AUS Ecosystem to Address Critical Industry Challenges
Authors: Whitney Dr. Amy , Hanson PhD Sheila , Dunlevy Matt , Shelton Renee
Published: June 2021

Entrepreneurial innovation that spurs economic development requires a collaborative cluster of cooperative effort, across a diverse ecosystem of partners. Literature provides resounding evidence to support the notion that an innovative, entrepreneurial ecosystem is critical to both successful economic development and industry sector growth. The UAS/AUS industry sector is a fast-growing sector across the United States, with regional leadership demonstrated in North Dakota, California, North Carolina, New York, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. This case study is focused on investigating how the North Dakota autonomous systems ecosystem continues to evolves and develop mechanisms and partnerships to address industry pain points, facilitate cutting edge research, ensure high-quality UAS/AUS testing, and support an adaptive business development pipeline across the entrepreneurial life cycle. This paper presents a theoretical overview of entrepreneurial ecosystem theory as well as a rich description of a UAS venture interacting with the ecosystem to support business incubation. The case study found support for the interconnected nature of the interactions in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the ability of a startup to succeed and grow. The case study further identified a weakness in entrepreneurial ecosystems focused on policy and regulation when innovation outpaces public support, laws and organizational policy.

Varoluşundan bu yana insanoğlu barınma ve gıda ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak amacıyla doğal kaynaklar bulmak, tarım alanlarına sahip olmak gibi ekonomik nedenlerden bulunduğu yerleri terk ettiği gibi; sel, kuraklık, deprem ve çölleşme gibi doğal afetlerin yanısıra; savaş, işgal, zorlu sürgün gibi siyasi sebeplerden dolayı hem göç etmek zorunda kalmıştır. Doğup büyüdüğü toprakları hem içsel hem dışsal faktörlerden dolayı isteyerek ya da istemeyerek terk etmiştir. Tekerleğin icat edilmesinden sonra insanların doğdukları ya da bulundukları coğrafyalardan başka yerlere hareket etmesi daha kolaylaşmıştır. Buhar makinesine bağlı olarak gelişen motorlu taşıtlarla seyahat ve göç hareketleri daha da hızlanmıştır. Yüksek teknolojiyle donatışmış günümüz dünyasında ise hiç azımsanmayacak kadar insan kolayca mekân değiştirebilmekte ve türlü nedenlerle anayurtlarından uzak coğrafyalarda yaşamaktadır. Bir yandan yerleştikleri coğrafyaların kültürel, ekonomik ve coğrafik koşullarına uyum sağlamaya çalışırken bir yandan da kendi kökenleriyle olan bağı korumak için aynı geçmişe sahip insanlarla bir arada yaşamaya çabalamaktadır.

Atasözleri bir milletin binlerce yıllık tecrübelerin sonucunda ortaya çıkmış söz varlığıdır. Bu söz varlıklarında ataların yaşadıkları olaylar karşısında derin düşünce ve duygularını görmek mümkündür. Bu yönüyle önemli kültürel hazineler olan atasözleri, binlerce yıl öncesindeki sözlü dilin yazıya geçirilmesi ile eşsiz dil varlığı hazinesi olarak varlığını sürdürmektedir. Aynı zamanda atasözleri, yabancı unsurlardan da en az etkilenen ve günümüze kadar değişmeden gelen hazinelerdir. Atasözleri sözlü edebiyatın önemli kaynakları olmakla birlikte semantik, sentaktik ve morfo-sentaktik açıdan incelenme imkânı veren önemli dil bilgisi kaynaklarıdır. Çok geniş bir coğrafyaya yayılmış ve uzun bir geçmişe sahip olan Türk dili, bugün çağdaş Türk lehçeleri ile varlığını sürdürmektedir. Uygur Türkleri ve Yeni Uygur Türkçesi bu coğrafyanın güney doğusunda Türklük tarihinin önemli merkezinde yer almaktadır. Bu nedenle Türk dilinin önemli kollarından birisi olan Uygur Türkçesinin atasözleri ve bu atasözlerindeki sözcük öbekleri inceleme konusu olarak seçildi. İki veya daha fazla sözcüğün birleşmesiyle oluşan sözcük öbekleri, Türk dilinin grameri üzerine yapılan çalışmalarda söz dizimi konusu içerisinde değerlendirilmektedir. Uygur atasözlerinde sözcük öbeklerinin kullanım şekillerinin incelendiği bu çalışmada öncelikle sözcük öbekleri gruplandırılacak, sonrasında her bir grupla ilgili örnek atasözleri gösterilecektir.
HUMANISMO DE PERTENENCIA AL MUNDO DE LA VIDA Y CULTURA SOSTENIBLE
Authors: García Carrasco Joaquín , Donoso González Macarena
Published: June 2021

Observamos en la cultura contemporánea una metamorfosis de la alfabetización y el desdibujo de las fronteras de los campos de conocimiento: son características de la Nueva Ilustración, guiada por preguntas transversales y puntos de vista interdisciplinares. La educación constituye el aglutinador más importante de las Humanidades y el punto desde el que valorar la sostenibilidad de la cultura. La especie humana necesita la cooperación sociocultural para vivir; esta innovación biocomportamental implicó el reciclamiento de las redes neuronales, para poder vivir con lucidez. La cultura evolucionó desde una convicción humana de dominio sobre el mundo de la vida (humanismo de dominancia). La historia demostró que la vida humana es dependiente de la calidad de los ecosistemas (humanismo de dependencia). Hoy, necesitamos vivir en la convicción de que pertenecemos al mundo de la vida (humanismo de pertenencia) y de que somos responsables de su sostenibilidad y de su calidad.

Authors: Constance Suzanne Marle , Musarurwa Charles
Published: June 2021

This study aimed to establish the extent to which Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have been integrated into the teaching and learning of Geography in Seychelles Secondary Schools. The focus was on key issues such as policy provisions for the integration of ICTs into the Seychelles curriculum; teachers’ and students’ perceptions about the use of ICTs in teaching and learning of Geography; the types of ICTs used; and challenges faced in the integration of ICTs. Possible solutions are also explored. The researchers opted for a qualitative methodological approach to generate rich and in-depth data. The aim was to learn and understand from the case rather than to prove and establish cause and effect. Thus, various methodologies such as document analysis, focus group discussions and interviews were employed. Geography teachers and students were the main participants in the study, although other participants such as Ministry of Education officials were also interviewed. It is anticipated that the research findings and recommendations will benefit policymakers and practitioners in the Seychelles education system.
El itinerario reflexivo: de la desazón disciplinar a los nuevos réditos del quehacer sociológico / The reflective itinerary: from disciplinary unease to the new profits of sociological work
Authors: Rojas Delgado Jorge Enrique
Published: June 2021

Las diferentes implicaciones del hombre de ciencia en su pretensión por dar cuenta del contexto que le rodea y al cual pertenece, ha dado paso a una racionalidad ya no como certeza de la representación sino como evidencia de su instalación. De ahí que este artículo busque dar cuenta del oficio del sociólogo, asumiendo los nuevos desafíos disciplinares a partir del abordaje de un itinerario cimentado en la noción de reflexividad como actitud creativa, revolucionaria y polémica. Es así como se intenta esclarecer las exigencias, apuestas y potencialidades de la reflexividad sociológica, donde el sujeto se instala en la realidad que emprende y (auto)reflexiona de manera concomitante mientras reflexiona sobre otros, convirtiéndose también en objeto de su propia observación; entendiendo además que el acontecimiento abstraído como hecho objetual está en íntima relación desde dónde, cómo y para qué observa. En consecuencia, reconoce que no existe un universo totalmente determinista, debiendo mantener una actitud vital y una disposición disciplinar para devolverle la viveza, resonancia y profundidad al mundo social.
Borges de Fervor de Buenos Aires: su visión porteña a través del uso de la palabra / The Borges from Fervor of Buenos Aires: his porteño vision across the use of the word
Authors: Casares Carmona Esther
Published: June 2021

El artículo versa sobre la obra Fervor de Buenos Aires y en la que visión porteña de Borges se contrapone al uso del lenguaje dando lugar al estilo acuñado como Borgiano. El artículo contrasta la diferencia entre la visión porteña de Borges y la lengua utilizada en Fervor de Buenos Aires, donde la lengua es analizada desde el punto de vista de la variedad sincrónica del español. Se llega a la conclusión que la lengua de Borges en Fervor no es la lengua de un porteño. Aunque ello no significa que el uso del español estándar en Fervor debilite o mine de alguna forma la visión porteña, intimista y personal de Borges.
