LANGUAGE OF ADVERTISING IN JAMES JOYCE’S ULYSSES
Authors: MONICA CHIFOR
Published: July 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the role of language in James Joyce’s Ulysses. In Ulysses, James Joyce slides from the objective to the subjective, playing with styles, rhetorical formulas, or figurative language through dazzling shifts between rigorous English and slang, mixing registers of the real, imaginary, and symbolical into a new world. The language of advertising is at its best in the 13th episode, Nausicaa. Here, Joyce uses the protagonist, Gerty MacDowell as a rhetorical mask for his intentions of mocking the consumer society of early 20th century Dublin. The character is entrapped in an alienating consumer culture which is supported by Joyce’s linguistic components of the commodity. The language used in Nausicaa bears an intertextual burden, similar to the vocabulary of the advertisements for female consumers.

Authors: SARITAŞ BURCU BAŞOĞLU , SARITAŞ BAHA CANKUT
Published: July 2022

‘‘Conditional sentences usually consist of two clauses: a conditional clause (or if clause) and the main clause (or result clause). The result in the main clause is dependent on the condition in the conditional clause’’ (Foley & Hall, 2003, p.120). Conditionals is a highly controversial subject in current linguistic analysis. In this article, the basic types of conditional sentences are identified and the functioning of conditionality in the content, epistemic, and speech-act domains has been clarified, and a number of relations in these conditionals both in English and Turkish have been introduced.

Published: July 2022

It is sufficiently predictable that most paper currencies will disappear and digital currencies will become the mainstream. This is why the Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) has recently begun to attract attention. Blockchain technology bring unique advantages to a CBDC. A blockchain-based CBDC enables central banks to control the currency while protecting the privacy and independence of the CBDC’s use to the end users. The 5irechain based CBDC benefits from the innovative products and services that are being built across the open source blockchain ecosystem including zero-knowledge cryptography, non-custodial wallets, and decentralized finance. 5irechain ecosystem assists all of new financial models that will guarantee financial stability and inclusion, fraud control as well as greater efficiency and modernization of the monetary system. In this paper, we propose 5irechain based CBDC that enables communication between blockchains using Inter-Blockchain Communication (IBC) protocol to ensure interoperability. It can give different user privileges and privacypreserving.

Hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn is a consequence of maternal immune response to fetal red blood cells antigens inherited from the father, that the mother does not possess, stimulated by antepartum or intrapartum fetomaternal hemorrhage. As a result, fetal erythrocytes are destroyed, leading to various degrees of anemia and hyperbilirubinemia, with high perinatal morbidity and mortality rates. This review’s purpose is to reveal the importance of the alloantibodies beyond RhD and ABO system, the updated algorithms used in the diagnosis and management of the disease and the importance of RhD universal immune prophylaxis practice. For this purpose, the database from PubMed and UpToDate was searched for literature reviews, case studies, society guidelines and retrospective studies in English regarding hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn from 2013 to March 2022. Anti D prophylaxis protocols, early diagnosis and proper intrauterine and postpartum treatment help significantly reduce the disease’s burden.

Electric Field Screening in Pair Discharges and Generation of Pulsar Radio Emission
Authors: Tolman Elizabeth A. , Philippov A. A. , Timokhin A. N.
Published: July 2022

Pulsar radio emission may be generated in pair discharges that fill the pulsar magnetosphere with plasma as an accelerating electric field is screened by freshly created pairs. In this Letter, we develop a simplified analytic theory for the screening of the electric field in these pair discharges and use it to estimate total radio luminosity and spectrum. The discharge has three stages. First, the electric field is screened for the first time and starts to oscillate. Next, a nonlinear phase occurs. In this phase, the amplitude of the electric field experiences strong damping because the field dramatically changes the momenta of newly created pairs. This strong damping ceases, and the system enters a final linear phase, when the electric field can no longer dramatically change pair momenta. Applied to pulsars, this theory may explain several aspects of radio emission, including the observed luminosity, L
rad ∼ 1028 erg s−1, and the observed spectrum, S

The thermal structure of planetary atmospheres is an essential input for predicting and retrieving the distribution of gases and aerosols, as well as the bulk chemical abundances. In the case of Jupiter, the temperature at a reference level—generally taken at 1 bar—serves as the anchor in models used to derive the planet’s interior structure and composition. Most models assume the temperature measured by the Galileo probe. However, those data correspond to a single location, an unusually clear, dry region, affected by local atmospheric dynamics. On the other hand, the Voyager radio occultation observations cover a wider range of latitudes, longitudes, and times. The Voyager retrievals were based on atmospheric composition and radio refractivity data that require updating and were never properly tabulated; the few existing tabulations are incomplete and ambiguous. Here we present a systematic electronic digitization of all available temperature profiles from Voyager, followed by their reanalysis, employing currently accepted values of the abundances and radio refractivities of atmospheric species. We find the corrected temperature at the 1 bar level to be up to 4 K greater than the previously published values, i.e., 170.3 ± 3.8 K at 12°S (Voyager 1 ingress) and 167.3 ± 3.8 K at 0°N (Voyager 1 egress). This is to be compared with the Galileo probe value of 166.1 ± 0.8 K at the edge of an unusual feature at 6.°57N. Altogether, this suggests that Jupiter’s tropospheric temperatures may vary spatially by up to 7 K between 7°N and 12°S.

Authors: Fatmawati Ariani , Ridlayanti Annisa , Nurlatifah Nurlatifah
Published: July 2022

BACKGROUND: Pregnant women experience physiological and psychological changes during pregnancy. Psychological changes experienced by pregnant women show symptoms of anxiety, worry, and depression. The use of Al-Quran therapy by means of Murottal Al-Quran is one of an intervention for mental health problems of pregnant women. AIM: This research was carried out by aimed to determine the effect of the murottal Al-Quran on pregnant women who experience Maternal Mental Disorder (MMD). METHODS: This was a quantitative study using design pre and post experimental testing without control group. The participants in this study were 25 respondents aged 15-21 years, on the 3rd trimester of pregnancy, are able to read the Al-Quran, routinely carry out pregnancy checks at the health center or posyandu (pos pelayanan terpadu) (integrated healthcare, willing to become respondents, and her ANRQ score which was ≥ 23. Respondents were asked to listen to the murottal every day for 30 minutes on 05.00 and 20.00 WIB for 2 weeks. After two weeks, the respondents were checked for their mental condition using the ANRQ questionnaire through the google form application. The bivariate analysis used was the Wilcoxon test. RESULT: Most of the pregnant women experienced MMD as many as 76% while after being given the intervention, most of the pregnant women who did not experience MMD were 72%. Median pretest 24,76 and posttest 21,88. Giving Murottal Al-Quran therapy to pregnant women in the third trimester had an influence on their MMD status (p < 0.000). CONCLUSIONS: Chanting holy verses that are played can stimulate the hypothalamus to produce endorphins, cortisone, and catecholamine, thus making pregnant women relax. Murottal Al-Quran treatment can be utilized to help pregnant women with mental health issues.
Proasellus thrive in the dark – plasticity enabling cave colonisation?
Authors: Bedek Jana , Bilandžija Helena
Published: July 2022

Darkness is the hallmark of all subterranean habitats and, to some degree, of many surface habitats. Many surface animals that live in semi-dark habitats, such as freshwater benthos, are photophobic. Yet, few of them can colonize caves and form subterranean populations. We hypothesize that phenotypic plasticity induced by darkness enables surface crustaceans to colonize caves, as has been previously shown for the cavefish Astyanax mexicanus.

Our target organisms were surface species that form distinct subterranean populations with different adaptations to caves and have closely related cave species. Proasellus proved to be a good model system, and we selected the surface species Proasellus coxalis and its cave relative P. anophtalmus to learn what adaptations evolve in subterranean forms. We exposed a randomly selected group of both species to complete darkness (DD) where we could establish breeding colonies. Control breeding colonies are exposed to a 12:12 h light-dark photoperiod (LD). Other conditions are kept as constant and equal as possible, including conditioned Alnus glutinosa leaves used for shelter and food.

We examined the molecular phenotypes of both Proasellus species, animals originally collected from the wild and preserved after four months under the experimental conditions DD and LD. The number of observed differentially expressed genes (DEGs) was significantly higher between cohorts DD and LD of P. coxalis compared to P. anophtalmus. The direction of regulation of DEGs also showed the opposite effect, with the cohort of P. coxalis DD showing predominant upregulation and the cohort of P. anophtalmus DD showing predominant downregulation relative to their cohorts LD. A greater number of DEGs in both species were associated with various metabolic processes such as lipid regulation. In contrast, DEGs related to growth, cell division, rhythmic processes, sensory perception of taste, and sexual reproduction were observed only in P. coxalis.

We examined the changes at the phenotypic level in the first generation born in the experiment. Surprisingly, P. coxalis showed better fitness under DD conditions (growth rate, fecundity, survival). Other phenotypes were altered in both adaptive and non-adaptive directions i. e. towards vs. opposite of cave adaptations. We conclude that darkness is not a limiting factor in cave colonization and suggest that it may even be a key factor in the evolution of troglomorphy via phenotypic plasticity.
Caves as evolutionary dead end? The journey of the stygobiont isopod Monolistra pavani toward sunlight

Published: July 2022

Monolistra are stygobiont isopods spread in numerous karst areas from the south-eastern parts of Dinaric karst to south-eastern Switzerland. They inhabit different typologies of groundwater habitats from lentic to lotic ones where they can be particularly important in terms of biomass. M. pavani is a steno-endemic species that was reported only for a single cave system in Lombardy (Italy).

From October 2018 to March 2022, we performed multiple surveys in the subterranean system and in its surrounding springs recording abundance and distribution of the species. In December 2018 we discovered three spring populations/subpopulations of M. pavani in which pigmented individuals also occurred. We performed UV and infrared spectroscopy to evidence potential differences in the signals related to C-C bonds of the aromatic ring of the melanin molecules between cave and spring individuals. In 2020, we also compared circadian rhythm and responses to light stimuli of cave and spring individuals.

Occurrence of M. pavani in springs was regular and associated to specific spring microhabitats; individuals were active both during day and during night. Nor spring and cave individuals avoid light stimuli. Circadian rhythm analyses revealed that individuals from springs are more active than those from cave, showing higher activity during day than during night. The 20% of spring individuals are pigmented, and eumelanin occurs in dark individuals.

Our results suggest the possible ongoing adaptation to surface habitats at the border with groundwater in a species considered as a strict stygobiont. Molecular analyses on the population relationships are currently ongoing.

Published: July 2022

Objective obstacles such as high water levels that prevent access to caves at certain times of the year or the need to use complex tools and skills such as cave diving make biological research in caves extremely complex and occasionally dangerous. Moreover, to study physiological and behavioral adaptations of cave animals, they must be kept under controlled laboratory conditions. For this reason, we have established an animal facility in our laboratory. The available literature on invertebrate setup, operation, and care was sparse and unsuitable for the species we were studying. Fortunately, many cave biologists provided us with advice and support during the initial phase. Here we present our experiences to provide some guidelines for other researchers undertaking similar efforts. Among other animal groups, we are culturing several morphotypes of the cave snail Physella sp. and two cave and one surface species pair of bivalves: Congeria spp. and Dreissena polymorpha. We discuss good and bad practices in mollusk care - housing, water treatment, different types of food, and small aquarium design. Special attention is given to problems we have encountered with our colonies and changes we have made to address these problems, both successful and unsuccessful. We also address the general protocols required for keeping multiple species in a single facility, including procedures for decontamination of equipment and tools, and quarantine.
Groundwater ecosystems in changing times

Published: July 2022

Waterbodies worldwide undergo changes and this influences the ecosystems with the resident communities. Groundwater is no exception. However, few studies have so far focused on how the combined effects from catchment management and a changing climate impact the communities living in the groundwater. In 2019-2021 in southwestern Czech Republic, we sampled fauna and microorganisms in 37 wells that had been monitored by CHMI for up to 40 years and that varied in the trends in chemical and physical properties. The wells tapped the shallow quaternary and deeper aquifers of seven major hydrogeological zones. As expected, more quaternary than deeper wells showed - stronger - trends in physical and chemical properties of the groundwater. The chemical property changing significantly in the highest proportion of wells, i.e. 100% of the wells sampled for fauna, was silica. The trend of silica was increasing in all cases. Faunal numbers were lowest in the wells with the highest silica values. This may be an indirect effect of the interaction between changing agricultural practices and climate change, and may have implications for ecosystem functions, such as the use of groundwater for drinking water production.
Heat below the City – Is temperature a key driver in urban groundwater ecosystems?
Authors: Englisch Constanze , Kaminsky Eva , Steiner Cornelia , Stumpp Christine , Götzl Gregor , Griebler Christian
Published: July 2022

Living in an urban groundwater ecosystem comes with many challenges for its inhabitants. In Central Europe, groundwater fauna has adapted to a dark, cold, and typically energy-poor habitat for thousands of years, making these highly specialised animals susceptible to short-term (years to decades) changes in environmental conditions. In urban areas, many anthropogenic pressures like surface sealing, subsurface infrastructures, organic pollution, or accumulation of toxicants impact the groundwater ecosystem. On top, the urban subsurface is heating up with an enormous speed, characterized by the formation of subsurface urban heat islands. With urban groundwater temperatures continuously increasing way beyond natural background values, a loss of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning with ultimately a deterioration of water quality is predicted. In the current research project ‘Heat below the City’, we target the urban groundwater ecosystems of the city of Vienna, Austria. 150 groundwater wells distributed all over the city have been sampled twice, in autumn 2021 and spring 2022. Groundwater samples are analysed for a large set of physical-chemical, microbiological and faunistic variables, aiming to identify main drivers of groundwater ecosystem biodiversity and functioning. The focus lies on temperature induced cascading effects that may lead from ecologically intact oxic habitats to anoxic zones lacking fauna with deteriorated water quality. First findings show mean groundwater temperatures in Vienna to be at 14°C, about 3°C above the natural background, with anthropogenic heat sources having a main impact on the distribution and degree of warming. The absence of dissolved oxygen (DO) and NO3- as well as the presence of Fe2+, S2- and CH4 hint at zones of reduced groundwater below the city. First data on physical-chemical conditions, microbiological and faunal communities will be introduced.
Quantitative microbial risk assessment as a tool for groundwater monitoring. A case study in the rural communities of Romania
Authors: Stupar Zamfira , Levei Erika , Neag Emilia , Moldovan Oana Teodora
Published: July 2022

Karst springs are an essential source of drinking water in rural communities in North-Western Romania. Due to the fractured dolomite aquifers, dolines, or blind valleys, these springs are vulnerable to contamination by human and zoonotic pathogens. In this study, we assessed the human health risk associated with the contamination of six springs’ water with gastrointestinal pathogens. The data on the occurrence of E. coli and estimated Campylobacter and Rotavirus for a year of monitoring from twenty-four samples were inputted into a Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) model (Machdar et al. 2013). The QMRA was conducted following steps: hazard identification, dose-response assessment, exposure assessment, and risk characterization (Haas C N et al. 2014; World Health Organization 2016). In order to predict the total cases of illnesses for the spring water consumers, the probability of infection and illness was calculated for adults and children. Results have shown that the estimated probability of infection for enteropathogenic E. coli, Campylobacter, and Rotavirus ranged between 1.1 × 10-3 and 1.0 × 100, values much higher than the acceptable limit of 10-4 infections/person/year established by WHO (2016). The estimated probability of illness due to the pathogenic E. coli and Campylobacter infection was high, with values between 8.8 × 10-2 and 3.5 × 10-1 for five out of six groundwater sources. The estimated probability of illness due to the Rotavirus infection ranged between 4.0 × 10-4 and 6.4 × 10-2 for both adults and children. The finding suggests that consuming contaminated spring water could lead to severe acute, chronic, or sometimes fatal health consequences for the locals. This study provides valuable QMRA information on the contaminated karst groundwater, with important implications for human health and groundwater resources management.
Study of the Invertebrate diversity in Prometheus Show Cave (Georgia, Caucasus)
Authors: Maghradze Eter , Barjadze Shalva , Faille Arnaud , Asanidze Zezva
Published: July 2022

Prometheus Cave is one of the largest caves in Georgia among the local six show caves. Before opening the cave as a tourist attraction, no research was conducted on the cave to study the invertebrate community living there, despite the cave's status as a natural monument. Before our study, only 22 species of invertebrates were known from Prometheus Cave, while none of the invertebrate species have been reported from adjacent non-touristic Datvi and Melouri caves.

Cave invertebrate fauna was monitored monthly from 2018 to 2021 in the Prometheus cave and adjacent non-touristic Datvi and Melouri caves. The sampling was conducted on at least ten sites per cave each month. The abundance and incidence of the invertebrates were recorded on each site during field surveys. We ordinated the invertebrate diversity of the studied caves using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). After intensive investigations for three years, the number of species in Prometheus Cave increased from 22 to 47. Besides, ten species in Datvi and 11 species in Melouri caves were found for the first time. Our results suggest the existence of a significant difference in the diversity of the cave invertebrate fauna between the touristic part of Prometheus show Cave and its non-touristic part - Alpinist's hall, Datvi, and Melouri caves. The primary factor differentiating Prometheus show Cave from the others is the lower abundance of the species. Hurlbert's PIE and rarefaction analysis of the diversity explains that the diversity is also most unevenly distributed in this cave.
Identification of sulfur–oxidizing Thiothrix bacteria on microcrustaceans from the sulfidic groundwaters of Mangalia (southeastern Romania)
Authors: Boancă Filip , Chauveau Claire , Flot Jean-François , Pop Maria , Iepure Sanda
Published: July 2022

Movile Cave, located in southeastern Romania close to the Black Sea, is one of the most remarkable diversity hotspots worldwid with 52 species of invertebrates of which 37 are endemic (Brad et al. 2021). Due to the high concentration of hydrogen sulfide in its water, the primary production of organic matter in Movile Cave relies almost entirely on the chemoautotrophic activity of microorganisms, notably sulfur-oxidizing gammaproteobacteria belonging to the genus Thiothrix. In the presence of oxygen, these filamentous bacteria can oxidize hydrogen sulfide and reduce it into various sulfidic compounds, generating energy in the process. In sulfidic ecosystems, Thiothrix bacteria are frequently found free-living but also as epibionts or ectosymbionts growing on other organisms, such as amphipods (Flot et al. 2014). However, it is unclear whether Thiothrix bacteria also grow on microcrustaceans such as copepods or ostracods, of which several species are known from the sulfidic mesothermal aquifer of Mangalia, where Movile Cave is located. To find it out, we combined DNA sequencing using the reference bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene with morphological observations (including fluorescence microscopy). Our results reveal that Thiothrix bacteria are indeed present on microcrustaceans from Movile Cave and surrounding wells in the Mangalia region, highlighting the versatility of Thiothrix-crustacean associations in sulfidic ecosystems. This is the first report of an association between Thiothrix and groundwater microcrustaceans, and the second report of an association between Thiothrix and a nonmarine ostracod (Khalzov et al. 2021).
Stressed out underground?: Illuminating the genomic response to heat stress in surface and subterranean predaceous diving beetles

Published: July 2022

Subterranean realms possess high environmental stability with respect to light levels, temperature, and humidity. The transition to a subterranean lifestyle can therefore cause massive shifts in a species’ biology. How does the colonisation of these habitats affect the thermal tolerance of an organism? Past studies demonstrate species in extremely stable environments might lose the ability to mount a heat shock response, which involves the expression of heat shock proteins to remediate misfolded or denaturing proteins as a result of heat stress. Such organisms might therefore be at particular risk of decline in the face of climate change. However, similarly robust data are limited for subterranean organisms. To help address this knowledge gap, here we compared the heat-shock response of a surface-dwelling and subterranean species of predaceous diving beetle (Dytiscidae, Hydroporinae), Paroster nigroadumbratus and P. macrosturtensis, the latter of which is restricted to a single groundwater aquifer in the Yilgarn region of Western Australia. Though P. macrosturtensis is able to survive warmer conditions than it encounters in nature based on past survival experiments, it is nonetheless less robust in the face of temperature extremes compared to surface-dwelling relatives; the genomic basis of this difference is unknown. By sequencing transcriptomes of experimentally heat-shocked individuals we demonstrate both species can indeed mount a heat shock response at high temperatures (35ºC). However, the genes involved in these responses differ and a far greater number are differentially expressed in the surface species, including those involved in remediating oxidative stress, which might explain its more robust response to heat stress. In contrast, the subterranean species significantly upregulated a heat shock protein gene under conditions it encounters in nature, suggesting it is far more sensitive to ambient stressors. These findings have conservation implications for P. macrosturtensis and contribute to a growing narrative concerning weakened thermal tolerances in obligate subterranean organisms at the molecular level.
Language evolution is not limited to speech acquisition: a large study of language development in children with language deficits highlights the importance of the voluntary imagination component of language
Authors: Vyshedskiy Andrey
Published: July 2022

Did the boy bite the cat or was it the other way around? When processing a sentence with several objects, one has to establish ‘who did what to whom’. When a sentence cannot be interpreted by recalling an image from memory, we rely on the special type of voluntary constructive imagination called Prefrontal synthesis (PFS). PFS is defined as the ability to juxtapose mental visuospatial objects at will. We hypothesised that PFS has fundamental importance for language acquisition. To test this hypothesis, we designed a PFS-targeting intervention and administered it to 6,454 children with language deficiencies (age 2 to 12 years). The results from the three-year-long study demonstrated that children who engaged with the PFS intervention showed 2.2-fold improvement in combinatorial language comprehension compared to children with similar initial evaluations. These findings suggest that language can be improved by training the PFS and exposes the importance of the visuospatial component of language. This manuscript reflects on the experimental findings from the point of view of human language evolution. When used as a proxy for evolutionary language acquisition, the study results suggest a dichotomy of language evolution, with its speech component and its visuospatial component developing in parallel. The study highlights the radical idea that evolutionary acquisition of language was driven primarily by improvements of voluntary imagination rather than by improvements in the speech apparatus.

C’est à ces questions que ce travail collaboratif se propose de répondre à partir d’un retour réflexif de chacun des trois autrice et auteurs sur leurs propres expériences au service d’élu·es locaux, de parlementaires et de ministre. II s’agit ainsi de dégager des pistes de recherche en mettant véritablement au cœur de l’analyse cette position hybride particulière qu’est l’engagement du chercheur-collaborateur. L’article démontre qu’en dépit de certaines limites méthodologiques, ce double statut propose de véritables avantages heuristiques aussi bien sur un plan méthodologique que sur un plan empirique en matière de fonctionnement du Parlement et du rôle finalement hétérogène des collaboratrices et collaborateurs parlementaires.
Constructions de la blanchité dans l’expatriation française à Abu Dhabi : du progressisme distinctif au différentialisme conservateur
Authors: Cosquer Claire
Published: July 2022

Cet article explore la question de la mobilisation du progressisme à des fins de distinction racialisée. Prenant le cas de la constitution du groupe français « expatrié » à Abu Dhabi, l’article examine la façon dont ces revendications progressistes se combinent à des registres conservateurs en apparence concurrents, rejoignant des types de discours et de visions du monde décrits par les analystes de l’extrême droite. Il montre en particulier comment l’expérience migratoire permet la coexistence de ces deux discours, sans pour autant les confondre. Dans une première section, l’article analyse la façon dont l’expérience expatriée favorise des modes de distinction racialisée joués sur le terrain du progressisme politique : cet investissement distinctif du progressisme, loin de se résumer à la question du genre et de la sexualité, agrège différents objets politiques et construit plus généralement l’aptitude culturelle à la démocratie comme frontière symbolique entre groupes sociaux. Dans une deuxième section, l’article montre que le contexte d’Abu Dhabi favorise un mode de distinction mobilisant davantage des registres de discours traditionnellement associés au conservatisme, tels que l’ordre et la préservation de l’identité nationale face au métissage. Dans une troisième partie, l’article interroge l’articulation de ces deux registres en apparence concurrents dans le théâtre transnational façonné par la circulation migratoire.
La spiritualité : perspective de patients atteints d’un cancer hématologique nouvellement diagnostiqués et de leurs proches. Une étude qualitative exploratoire
Authors: Toniolo Jean , Beloni Pascale , Zumstein-Shaha Maya
Published: July 2022

Introduction : la prise en compte de la spiritualité auprès des patients atteints de cancer est importante. Elle désigne l’attachement de la personne à ce qui l’inspire et donne du sens à son existence, les convictions, les valeurs, les expériences associées, qu’elles soient de nature religieuse ou non. Cependant, ces aspects ne sont pas dépistés et utilisés d’une manière systématique et régulière dans la prise en soins des patients atteints d’hémopathie maligne. Objectif : décrire le point de vue des patients ayant un diagnostic de cancer hématologique récent et de leurs proches envers la spiritualité. Méthode : cette étude qualitative descriptive comprenait la réalisation d’entretiens semi-directifs auprès du patient et de son proche, et le remplissage de trois questionnaires concernant le bien-être spirituel, la qualité de vie et la charge en symptômes. Résultats : dix patients et six de leurs proches ont été inclus dans notre étude. Trois types de spiritualité sont identifiés : religieuse, de connexion et non religieuse. Ces perceptions s’inscrivent en toile de fond d’une pathologie dont la survenue soudaine nécessite la mobilisation de ressources telles que la famille, les stratégies de coping , une résilience rapide et la manifestation d’espoir. Discussion : le cancer hématologique, au-delà de l’impact physique, engage des changements profonds chez les patients et leurs proches concernant leurs valeurs et croyances. Favoriser des moments d’expressions de soi, comme aborder les notions de spiritualité, soutenir les patients dans leurs pratiques culturelles personnelles semble être favorable à l’intégration du soin spirituel en pratique par les infirmiers.
Évaluation de la version française d’une formation en ligne sur l’appropriation d’une échelle d’évaluation de la douleur pédiatrique
Authors: Chartrand Julie , Choueiry Juliana , Patry Élyse , Hamid Jemila S. , Wilding Jodi , Reszel Jessica , Mitsakakis Nicholas , Harrison Denise
Published: July 2022

Contexte : il n’existe aucune formation pour éduquer les infirmières quant à l’utilisation de l’échelle d’évaluation de la douleur pédiatrique Faces-Legs-Activity-Cry-Consolability (FLACC), dont les scores obtenus guident le traitement adéquat de la douleur. Objectif : cette étude visait à évaluer une formation en ligne portant sur l’échelle FLACC. Méthode : la formation a été offerte aux étudiantes inscrites à un cours de soins infirmiers pédiatriques offert lors de la 3 e année du baccalauréat en sciences infirmières. Les participantes ont rempli des questionnaires en ligne avant et après la formation afin d’évaluer leur perception quant à leurs connaissances et leur confiance, l’exactitude de leurs scores d’évaluation de la douleur, ainsi que l’utilité et la fonctionnalité de la formation. Résultats : la formation augmente les connaissances (p = 0,0004) et la confiance (p = 0,0053), selon les participantes. Elle améliore l’exactitude des scores de l’évaluation de la douleur sévère des étudiantes (p = 0,0159) et celle des scores de douleur modérée (p = 0,6363), mais diminue l’exactitude de leurs scores de douleur faible (p = 0,7686). Discussion : la qualité des vidéos reliées à la douleur faible et la quantité des vidéos pour tous les niveaux de douleur devront être améliorées. Conclusion : la formation rehausse l’éducation quant à l’utilisation appropriée de l’échelle FLACC et accroît le nombre de formations de qualité en français.
Post-partum animal triste
Authors: Briex Michel
Published: July 2022

La maternité et l’accouchement constituent encore pour de nombreuses femmes et leur conjoint un expérience négative sans lien direct avec ce que peuvent avoir observé les soignants et l’entourage proche. Le traumatisme psychologique qui peut s’ensuivre et ses conséquences à long terme sont loin d’être négligeables. Il existe pourtant des moyens de mieux dépister et de réduire ce risque en apprenant à mieux le connaître, pour en limiter l’impact et réduire les facteurs de risques dont certains sont aggravés par la prise en charge médicale.
Psychologue maïeuticienne en maternité : entre rêveries et désillusions
Authors: Latournerie Julie
Published: July 2022

Le voyage au centre de la maternité s’avère, pour la femme, un savant mélange de rêveries et de désillusions. Dans notre société où les réseaux sociaux sont au premier plan, notamment dans les moments clés de la vie, les mésinformations sont nombreuses. Le psychologue qui exerce en maternité se propose de soutenir les futures et jeunes mères dans une mise en récit de leur expérience singulière. Accompagner une mise en mots de ce qu’elles traversent, dans leur rapport au corps, dans la violence intrinsèque à l’accouchement, dans la rencontre avec leur bébé, telle est la place du psychologue maïeuticien.
Les mots bleus
Authors: Im Virginie
Published: July 2022

Les femmes par le biais des réseaux sociaux ont pu faire circuler une parole sur les violences qu’elles subissent. Un #Metoo de l’obstétrique a vu le jour dans ce climat de dénonciation et d’hostilité. Le déchaînement autour des violences obstétricales témoigne d’une violence dont les femmes et les soignants ont du mal à s’extraire. La grossesse, l’accouchement et le post-partum sont des périodes sensibles pour les femmes, et qui ne sont pas traversées dans la joie, contrairement à ce qui est fantasmé dans nos sociétés. Prendre soin du corps des femmes et de leur vécu en marge des protocoles médicaux objectivables est un engagement soignant complexe à tenir, dans une période où les institutions soignantes sont éprouvées. L’accouchement est une expérience de violence fondamentale, qui nécessite un maillage institutionnel et humain, afin que devenir parent et naître humain redevienne un engagement sociétal pour humaniser la maternité.
Un autoquestionnaire pour le repérage des vulnérabilités maternelles… pendant la grossesse : « Bien naître en Nouvelle-Aquitaine »
Authors: Roquand-Wagner Émilie
Published: July 2022

Le repérage des vulnérabilités maternelles et parentales en période périnatale est l’un des enjeux principaux de la qualité de prise en charge des femmes et de leurs enfants durant cette période des 1000 premiers jours de la vie. Au sein du réseau Périnat Nouvelle-Aquitaine, le groupe de travail dédié, avec la collaboration de professionnels de terrain, a construit le projet « Bien naître en Nouvelle-Aquitaine », autoquestionnaire à l’attention des femmes enceintes, au service d’une stratégie globale de dépistage et d’accompagnement. « Bien naître en Nouvelle-Aquitaine » se veut un outil d’aide à la pratique complémentaire au repérage systématique des vulnérabilités maternelles et familiales, aidant à l’orientation des patientes vers un parcours de soin ajusté et améliorant l’articulation ville- pmi -établissements de santé.

Second order evolutionary partial differential variational-like inequalities
Authors: Ali Imran , Khan Faizan Ahmad , Rizvi Haider Abbas , Ahmad Rais , Rajpoot Arvind Kumar
Published: July 2022

This work is dedicated to the study of a second order evolutionary partial differential variational-like inequality in Banach space. We obtain the mild solution of our problem by applying the concept of strongly continuous cosine family of bounded linear operators, fixed point theorem for condensing multi-valued operators and measure of non-compactness. It is proved that the solution set of mixed variational-like inequalities is non-empty, bounded, closed and convex.
Thermal Perception and its Relation to Touch
Authors: Gray Richard
Published: July 2022

Touch is standardly taken to be a proximal sense, principally constituted by capacities to detect pressure and thermal stimulation, and contrasted with the distal senses of vision and audition. It has, however, recently been argued that the scope of touch goes beyond proximal perception; touch can connect us to distal objects. Hence, touch should generally be thought of as a connection sense. In this paper, I argue that whereas pressure perception is a connection sense, thermal perception is not. Thermal perception is a proximal sense distinct from touch. One significant consequence of this is that it motivates an alternative explanation of how we detect the thermal properties of the things we touch and what they are.
