Authors: Culha Yaşar , Gülmez Özkan , Başok Banu İşbilen , İşman Ferruh Kemal , Oğuz Aytekin
Published: June 2024

Aims: Resistant hypertension is defined as blood pressure that remains above goal despite the concurrent use of 3 antihypertensive agents of different classes. In resistant hypertensive patients, revealing the cause of secondary hypertension may allow drug or surgical treatment for the correction of hypertension. Resistant hypertensive patients, a significant portion of the hypertensive population, is estimated to occur. We aimed to investigate general characteristics and factors that make it difficult to control blood pressure in resistant hypertensive patients and to identify the incidence of secondary hypertension and secondary hypertension causes that play a role in the etiology of resistant hypertension.
Methods: In the study, Turkish Republic Ministry of Health, İstanbul Medeniyet University Göztepe Training and Research Hospital Internal Medicine, Diabetes and Obesity clinic for any reason the applicant and resistant hypertension detected a total of 80 patients (32 men, 48 women, mean age: 62±10) were enrolled consecutively. The treatment characteristics of patients, as well as demographic, anthropometric, and biochemical data, were evaluated, and the cause of secondary hypertension and etiology distribution were determined.
Results: In resistant hypertensive patients, the frequency of secondary hypertension was 60% (men 71%, women 52%). The most common causes of secondary hypertension are primary hyperaldosteronism (45%), obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (15%), and thyroid disorders (11%), respectively. 40% of the cases were diabetic, and 77.7% obese. Left ventricular hypertrophy and proteinuria were the most frequently detected target organ damage (96% and 37.5%, respectively). The average salt consumption of 10.75 grams/day was observed (males 12.2 g/day for females 9.7 g/day). There was analgesic use in 41% of cases, and in 3 cases, cola intake.
Conclusion: Secondary hypertension was found to be 60% common. Compared to other studies in the literature, primary hyperaldosteronism and pheochromocytoma were more common causes of secondary hypertension, and the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome was lower than expected. Hypercortisolism is not detected, which can be considered a surprising finding.

Published: June 2024

This study investigates the quality issues in the production of aluminum biryani vessels, which are widely used for cooking biryani across various locations. The absence of well-defined production strategies has been identified as a key factor affecting the quality of these vessels. The research highlights the lack of identification and prioritization of essential technical requirements in the production process. By employing Quality Function Deployment (QFD) as a tool, the study effectively identifies and prioritizes these technical requirements for the aluminum biryani vessel industry. A detailed analysis of a leading aluminum biryani vessel production company in Kerala reveals that the critical technical requirements, in order of priority, include optimal sheet thickness, good surface polishing, proper condensation of molten metal, effective heat treatment, surface machining, accurate drilling, reduced sheet metal weight, selection of quality handle material, proper riveting, appropriate pressure on the hydraulic press, adequate pressure and gap between rolls, periodic design updates, attractive vessel shape, reduced handle weight, efficient grip pattern, hydraulic punch speed, and correct labelling. Adherence to these priorities in the production process is expected to significantly enhance the quality and productivity of aluminum biryani vessels.

Published: June 2024

Purpose To describe a presentation of Foster Kennedy syndrome (FKS) with a distinct pattern: one eye shows optic nerve atrophy due to compression by an intracranial tumor, while the other eye exhibits optic disc edema caused by heightened intracranial pressure. This atypical presentation highlights how commonplace clinical signs can mask a rare condition or disease phenotype.  Case Report A 26-year-old woman visited an ophthalmologist reporting sudden vision loss in her left eye over the past two months, accompanied by untreated headaches. She had no other health concerns. Her best corrected visual acuity was 6/36p in the right eye and PL+PR Faulty in the left eye. A relative afferent pupillary defect of grade 2 was observed in the left eye. Intraocular pressures were normal. Extra ocular movements were normal. Fundus examination revealed optic atrophy in left eye and frank optic disc edema in right eye. MRI brain scan was advised to patient to look for space occupying lesions. MRI imaging showed a 3.1x3.4x3.8cm sized predominantly cystic lesion involving sella and supra-sellar region appearing hyper intense on both T2/FLAIR and T1 with peripheral blooming and peripheral enhancement of solid component with extensions s/o adamantinomatous Craniopharyngioma with Superiorly-compression and elevation of optic chiasma, bilateral optic tracts. And hence patient is diagnosed as case of Foster Kennedy syndrome. The patient was given Nepafenac 0.1% eye drop once daily for two weeks. The patient was referred for a neurosurgical consultation and Craniotomy with aspiration was done by neurosurgeon and sample is sent for cytology.  Conclusion When encountering a patient with optic atrophy in one eye along with optic disc edema in the other eye, suspicion should arise regarding the presence of a space- occupying lesion. A concise case history , extensive ocular work up and cranial magnetic resonance imaging showing sudden visual loss and raised intracranial pressure which give rise to the diagnosis of sight threatening, permanent and fatal condition such as Foster Kennedy Syndrome.

Les voix de l’enfance, celle de notre mère, puis celle de notre père, jouent un rôle éminent dans la vie de chacun de nous, à des moments différents et selon des modalités particulières. Les voix d’un chœur, chacune dans sa tessiture, forment une famille de voix qui témoignent, toutes unies, d’« un modèle réduit de la société idéale » (Michel Serres). Notre propos est de montrer comment la musique vocale des premiers temps de la vie peut trouver son épanouissement artistique et humain dans la formation chorale, institution millénaire. Depuis le commencement du monde, parmi toutes les races et les civilisations, quand les hommes veulent s’unir, ils se mettent à chanter ensemble. Dans l’art musical et choral, se retrouvent le bonheur de la liberté imaginaire et de la communication affective partagée. Le chœur signe la victoire de l’harmonie sur la discorde, de la solidarité sur l’égoïsme, de l’union sur la solitude. Aussi représente-t-il aujourd’hui un lieu où l’âme n’est pas angoissée mais forte et joyeuse.

Pourquoi l’artiste, plus qu’un autre, aurait-il besoin de créer ? Sommes-nous autorisés à penser que serait présent, chez le danseur Butô mais également chez le danseur classique ainsi que contemporain, un processus à l’œuvre de l’ordre de la régression formelle de la pensée avec bien sûr des variations très individuelles dans celui-ci, qui amènerait le danseur à se laisser réinvestir par des traces au plus proche du perceptif, au plus près de la sensation pour aller, dans un premier temps, chercher de la sensation avec son corps ? Cette trajectoire, « aller chercher de la sensation avec son corps », animerait-elle le danseur mais également tout artiste quelle que soit sa discipline, dans le mouvement de danser, de peindre, de chanter, de jouer d’un instrument ? Un second temps : venir exprimer le matériau polysensoriel dans l’espace avec le mouvement du corps par la danse, le mouvement du pinceau sur la toile, de l’archet sur les cordes, des doigts sur le clavier, mouvement cette fois progrédient qui réalise alors l’œuvre d’art, c’est-à-dire encore ce produit symbolique porté et reconnu comme tel par le groupe humain, permettrait-il à l’artiste, comme seule issue possible, de s’extraire d’un monde de pure sensation ?

C’est au travers de la jouissance éprouvée lors de sa contemplation que l’œuvre d’art est ici abordée. Elle instaure en tant qu’objet une rencontre singulière Regardant-Regardé dans laquelle surgit par identification projective une jubilation esthétique qui la fait exister. De même que se sent exister celui qui la regarde, le Regardant. Il y aurait comme une « co-naissance » du Regardant et du Regardé. C’est de cet espace Regardant-Regardé qui renvoie à l’espace maternel, au sein des interactions primaires, qu’il a été tenté ici de la définir et de la distinguer de l’œuvre banale. À partir d’arguments cliniques des hypothèses sont discutées sur l’origine du processus créateur et de la créativité. L’un donnerait « naissance » à une œuvre d’art, tandis que l’autre serait une réalisation jusqu’à celle d’un bouquet de fleurs ou d’un plat cuisiné. Quelque chose de l’inconscient se donne à voir dans les deux cas.

Le présent article propose une réflexion sur le temps et la temporalité dans l’œuvre de Camille Claudel. Y est cerné un problème fondamental tant en sculpture qu’en psychanalyse – le traitement du temps qui s’avère inséparable de sa résonance avec le temps psychique. Après avoir situé son travail dans le contexte global des travaux psychanalytiques sur Camille Claudel, l’auteure expose des questions générales du temps en sculpture pour offrir ensuite une lecture transversale de ses œuvres. Elle met à l’épreuve l’hypothèse que le temps y est décliné sous forme de durée, d’instant et de moment critique, la bascule étant une figure de style récurrente dans les sculptures de Camille Claudel qui sont souvent marquées par l’instabilité et la rupture d’équilibre.
Equilibrium Grading Policies With Implications for Female Interest in STEM Courses
Authors: Ahn Tom , Arcidiacono Peter , Hopson Amy , Thomas James
Published: June 2024

We show that stricter grading policies in STEM courses reduce STEM enrollment, especially for women. We estimate a model of student demand for courses and optimal effort choices given professor grading policies. Grading policies are treated as equilibrium objects that in part depend on student demand for courses. Differences in demand for STEM and non‐STEM courses explain much of why STEM classes give lower grades. Restrictions on grading policies that equalize average grades across classes reduce the STEM gender gap and increase overall enrollment in STEM classes.
Identifying the Forage Base and Critical Forage Taxa for Chesapeake Waterbirds
Authors: Hack Matthew D. , Sullivan Jeffery D. , Kent Cody M. , Prosser Diann J.
Published: June 2024

To effectively maximize the conservation value of management plans intended to capture ecosystem-wide health, it is essential to obtain an understanding of emergent patterns in dietary dynamics spanning many species. Chesapeake Bay, USA, is a critical ecosystem used annually by a diverse assortment of waterbird species, including several of conservation concern. However, the ecosystem is threatened by many ecological pressures driven largely by the dense human population of the surrounding region. These issues necessitate proactive monitoring and management efforts to track the health of ecosystems like Chesapeake Bay. Such monitoring efforts of population dynamics require adequate data on the connections between trophic levels to understand how changes to the forage base might influence higher trophic levels, such as these diverse avian predators. However, we have historically lacked standardized quantitative data drawing these connections at the community level, as well as the relative importance of these taxa in the diet of such predators. We collated existing quantitative data on avian dietary composition to construct a database on the diets of 58 waterbird species that make use of Chesapeake Bay. From this database, we quantified the relative importance of forage taxa to the diet of each waterbird species. Such data can enable managers to develop a comprehensive suite of forage taxa indicators whose abundance and distributions can be monitored as a proxy for ecosystem health. It is our goal that this database be harnessed as a tool to enable conservation practitioners to prioritize indicator taxa for monitoring purposes, contributing toward conservation plans that best address the health of the ecosystem at large.
Wetland Seed Abundance Estimates Influenced by Soil Core Volume

Published: June 2024

Soil core sampling is commonly used to estimate moist-soil seed abundance when assessing waterfowl habitat and population carrying capacity. Several studies have evaluated the limitations and sources of bias associated with soil core sampling, but few have examined how variable sample volumes can influence estimates of seed abundance. We measured the soil volume of 1128 soil cores collected from managed seasonal wetlands and tidal marshes to determine if seed abundance was correlated with the volume of soil sampled. We collected soil cores using a standard (6 cm diameter, 5 cm deep) soil coring device with external flanges to control sampling depth. We found that the actual soil volume sampled was highly variable (45 ml to 560 ml). Mean soil volume (215.6 ml) was 53% greater than the targeted soil volume based on the dimensions of the coring device (141.4 ml). Moreover, total seed mass was positively correlated with soil volume sampled in managed wetlands, but not in tidal marsh. Using a linear model, we found managed wetland samples contained an additional 33.2 kg/ha of total seeds due to the extra 74.2ml of soil collected per sample on average. Total seed abundance in managed wetlands was estimated to be 19.6% greater due to the over-sampling of soil. Estimates of seed abundance in moist-soil wetlands derived from soil core samples may be improved by considering the variability in the actual soil core volumes sampled using standard sampling tools.
Nonnative Smallmouth Bass in the Snake River, Idaho: Population Dynamics, Demographics, and Management Options
Authors: McClure Conor , Quist Michael C. , Kozfkay Joseph R. , Schill Daniel J.
Published: June 2024

The Snake River in Idaho, USA, supports a popular sport fishery for nonnative Smallmouth Bass Micropterus dolomieu, but there are limited studies on the population dynamics of this introduced species in Idaho and other water systems in the western United States. The purpose of this study was to describe the population dynamics and demographics of Smallmouth Bass in the Snake River, Idaho. In total, we sampled 4,929 Smallmouth Bass during electrofishing surveys on the Snake River (separated into nine segments) and three major tributaries (Boise, Payette, and Weiser rivers). We estimated age for 1,869 Smallmouth Bass sampled from the Snake River (n = 1,433) and three tributaries (n = 436). Catch-per-unit-effort for all nine segments combined on the Snake River was 36.6 fish/h (±4.4 SE). In the tributaries, catch-per-unit-effort varied from 43.6 to 125.0 fish/h. Relative weight of all Smallmouth Bass varied from 86 to 107, indicating that fish were in relatively good body condition. Fish in the system grew fast, with relative growth index values often near or exceeding 100 for all age classes. Total annual mortality for the Snake River was 45.1 ± 0.7%, and it was 36.8–40.5% in the tributaries. Furthermore, we estimated exploitation to be 5.3% (90% CI; ±2.2%) for the Snake River and tributaries combined. We used a yield-per-recruit population model to evaluate the effects of varying minimum length limits on the fishery. With the observed population demographics and exploitation rates, increasing the current minimum length limit from 305 mm to 356 or 406 mm would probably have little influence on the number of Smallmouth Bass available to anglers. However, increasing the length limit would result in reduced biomass available for harvest. The potential for recruitment overfishing was minimal for all minimum length limits and levels of exploitation. As such, changes to current harvest regulations do not appear warranted. Our findings provide important information on the population dynamics of Smallmouth Bass that can be useful in evaluating their management across Idaho and in similar systems in western North America.
Applying Local and Global Sensitivity Analysis to Inform Bigheaded Carp Management

Published: June 2024

Natural resource managers commonly use population-level models to aid in understanding the status of target populations or the potential implications of management actions. Sensitivity analyses, specifically, local sensitivity analysis (LSA) and global sensitivity analysis (GSA), exist as tools to improve understanding of these models, the importance of specific parameters to model outcomes, and the assumptions inherent to population models. However, applied ecology and closely related fields such as fisheries and wildlife management rarely use LSA or GSA. Here, we apply LSA and GSA to the Spatially Explicit Invasive Carp Population model, a population-level model used to simulate and compare management actions on the invasive silver carp Hypophthalmichthys molitrix population in the Illinois River. The spatial structure within the model arises from the navigation “pools” that exist between navigation lock-and-dam in the river and are also the focus of fisheries management in the river. We completed LSA and GSA for two reasons: 1) to compare the importance of model input parameters on simulated model populations and 2) to demonstrate the use of LSA and GSA for population-level models. In our system, we detected the most important sensitivity values generally in Alton Pool. This pool is the farthest downstream and includes a direct connection with the Mississippi River. These results indicate that the population dynamics in Alton Pool are an important driver of the population dynamics throughout the Illinois River. Management outcomes in this system will, therefore, be strongly dependent on the dynamics of Alton Pool.
L’usage militaire des espaces côtiers libanais
Authors: Touzot-Fadel Charlotte
Published: June 2024

En temps de paix, les espaces utilisés par les militaires deviennent de véritables réserves de biodiversité, sans passage ni activités humaines. Les espaces côtiers libanais comprennent différents types de terrains utilisés par l’armée, qui n’appartiennent pas tous au ministère de la Défense. On constate également une diversité d’usages militaires de ces espaces, continus ou ponctuels. L’étude révèle une ambiguïté quant à leur caractère formel ou informel. Par ailleurs, l’usage militaire peut s’avérer bénéfique pour l’environnement s’il est une simple mission de surveillance du territoire, ou néfaste s’il s’agit de manœuvres militaires, comme les exercices de tir en mer. Cet inventaire des terrains littoraux utilisés par les militaires selon leur régime juridique éclaire la participation du militaire à la protection de l’environnement dans un pays où l’armée est omniprésente sur le territoire.
Joseph Kiwanuka, premier évêque d’Ouganda (1939)
Authors: Coquet Édouard
Published: June 2024

L’Ouganda apparaît comme un observatoire privilégié des tensions que le développement des clergés « autochtones » suscite dans le monde missionnaire à la fin de la période coloniale. Le premier évêque natif d’Afrique subsaharienne à l’époque contemporaine, le père blanc Joseph Kiwanuka, y est nommé en 1939 à la tête de la première mission africaine intégralement confiée au clergé local : le vicariat apostolique de Masaka, dans la région du Buddu. En suivant les premières décennies de cette mission, du milieu des années 1930 au milieu des années 1950, cet article met en lumière les résistances des Pères blancs à l’autonomisation du Buddu et même la radicalisation des préjugés raciaux. Il montre l’importance de l’action de Rome, qui impose aux missionnaires la nomination de Mgr Kiwanuka par l’intermédiaire du délégué apostolique. Dans ce contexte conflictuel, ce travail met en valeur l’action autonome de Kiwanuka.
“Us Versus Them” : The impact of homophily and trust in partner selection and cooperation intensity in coopetitive agreements
Authors: Chappert Hervé , Chiambaretto Paul , Fernandez Anne-Sophie , Djamen Raoul
Published: June 2024

As an increasing number of companies adopt coopetition strategies (simultaneous cooperation and competition), it is important to better understand how they select their coopetitor (partner-competitor) and how they set the intensity of their cooperation with these competitors. Because previous studies underestimated the social ties in which these coopetitive agreements occur, this research answers the following research question: How do homophily and trust impact partner selection and the intensity of cooperation in coopetitive agreements? We conduct a multiple-case study to investigate a network of coopetitive relationships between nine competing Cameroonian firms in the distribution of construction and civil engineering equipment in the Douala region (the economic capital of Cameroon) and use ethnic groups to measure the notion of homophily. Because all these firms have interethnic and intraethnic coopetitive agreements, we were able to address the importance of homophily in partner selection and in the intensity of cooperation in coopetitive agreements. Our findings show, first, that coopetitors prefer to cooperate with competitors that belong to the same group because they trust them more and anticipate less coopetitive tensions and opportunistic behaviors in the future. Second, we note that the intensity of cooperation between competitors is much higher in intragroup coopetitive agreements (i.e., within the same group) than in intergroup coopetitive agreements (i.e., between two companies whose managers are from two different groups). Third, we underline that peer pressure and the existence of credible sanctions reinforce the positive relationship between being a member of the same group and trust and thus the intensity of cooperation between coopetitors.

Le management des tensions dans la coopétition est essentiel pour que cette stratégie ne se transforme pas en un échec. Cependant, le rôle du temps dans leur apparition et leur gestion demeure une question ouverte. Sur la base d’une étude de cas originale d’une alliance aux achats entre distributeurs concurrents du secteur de la grande distribution française, nous réintégrons le temps dans l’analyse de la coopétition en adoptant une approche paradoxale mais aussi processuelle. Nous montrons ainsi l’existence de tensions coopétitives temporelles qui portent sur (1) la performance, (2) les plannings, et (3) la viabilité de cette stratégie. Alors que les principes connus, en tant que tels, ne permettent pas de les gérer, nos résultats suggèrent d’ajouter au principe de l’intégration et au concept de capacités coopétitives, la notion d’ambitemporalité.
Questionner l'offre composite de la vidéo à la demande en France : d'une analyse des publics modèles à une proposition de typologie des services
Authors: DUPUY-SALLE Manuel , MARTY Emmanuel , SCHMITT Laurie
Published: June 2024

Les éditeurs de vidéo à la demande (VàD) pâtissent aujourd’hui d’inégalités en matière de visibilité : l’offre paraît confuse, expérimentale et toujours en construction. Notre contribution propose d'approcher des dynamiques socioéconomiques complexes en identifiant les publics modèles construits dans l’offre de VàD. Notre hypothèse est que les acteurs de la VàD, dans leur ensemble, mais de façon différenciée, construisent leur stratégie d’offre en s’inspirant de façon originale des caractéristiques que prennent les pratiques de consommation dans différents champs culturels tels que : la culture numérique, la culture cinéphile et la culture télévisuelle. Nous examinons la façon dont les acteurs, à travers les 97 services que nous avons référencés en 2019 en France, envisagent leurs publics modèles par le choix d’une ligne éditoriale, leur filière de provenance et certaines composantes de leur modèle d’affaires. In fine, le croisement de ces critères conduit à proposer une typologie de services de VàD selon huit configurations émergeant des stratégies développées.
Des modes critiques et affinitaires de participation

Lors de la campagne présidentielle de 2022, la plateforme de streaming Twitch est investie par France Télévisions, qui propose une séquence – « 20 h 22, la suite sur Twitch » – durant laquelle le journaliste Samuel Étienne pose aux candidat·es invité·es les questions soumises dans le clavardage (chat) par le public. Cet article établit une typologie propre à l’usage du clavardage – fondée sur la question, la conversation et la réaction – et propose une catégorisation des clavardeur·euses en fonction de leurs formes préférentielles d’intervention. L’étude montre que le stream suscite différentes critiques du public, concernant les candidat·es, les journalistes ou le dispositif lui-même. Celles-ci restent civiles et peuvent même faire l’objet d’argumentation par l’exemple ou le témoignage. Sont identifiés des « super-participants », par contraste à un échantillon aléatoire, qui se distinguent par une forte activité de clavardage et l’occupation pour chacun d’un rôle précis de militant, fan ou facilitateur.
Le recours au numérique dans les universités africaines : représentations et réalités
Authors: MAÏDAKOUALE Ibrahim
Published: June 2024

Cette recherche repose sur l’accès et la diffusion des connaissances et savoirs dans l’enseignement supérieur africain par le biais du numérique et des technologies numériques. Nous postulons d’emblée que l’« usage », l’« appropriation » et l’apprentissage numériques sont liés à plusieurs facteurs sociotechniques et économiques dont l’accessibilité des dispositifs techniques. Il est donc vain de présenter ces outils comme une solution « miracle » à tous les maux dont souffrent les universités africaines. La posture est alors, ici, critique avec un accent particulier sur ce qu’on pourrait appeler une « exclusion numérique » qui explique, en partie, le retard des universités africaines francophones sur leurs homologues occidentales. Notre hypothèse principale reste donc celle consistant à considérer que l’avènement d’une « société numérique » au service de l’enseignement, de l’apprentissage, de l’innovation et de la recherche n’est crédible que si les avancées technologiques rencontrent, en amont, un projet et une volonté politique forte et ambitieuse impliquant des changements radicaux de paradigmes. L’étude s’appuie sur une démarche empirique à travers des enquêtes de terrain qualitatives et quantitatives, et sur l’analyse de diverses expériences menées dans plusieurs pays africains (Bénin, Côte d’Ivoire et Niger) dans le cadre de l’usage des technologies numériques dans l’enseignement supérieur.
Se préparer pour « piloter son clown » à l’hôpital
Authors: Bodelet Claire
Published: June 2024

L’article porte sur le travail de préparation des clowns dans le cadre de leur activité à l’hôpital. À partir d’une enquête ethnographique menée dans deux hôpitaux avec les artistes de l’association française Le Rire Médecin, il montre comment ce travail suit un processus qui ne se limite pas aux temps formalisés de leur préparation dans les coulisses mais se poursuit aussi dans le cours des spectacles, à différents moments de la journée et dans les interactions avec le public. En effet, à l’hôpital, les spectacles de clowns ne sont pas préparés à l’avance mais improvisés sur place, et « pilotés » en duo avec des partenaires qui ne se connaissent pas toujours à l’avance. Cette configuration soulève des enjeux pratiques face auxquels une partie des solutions se trouve dans le passage à l’action.
Se fondre dans le décor. De l’écran de cinéma à l’espace d’exposition, l’exemple de la maison-musée Chaplin’s World
Authors: Leresche Nicolas
Published: June 2024

Le musée Chaplin’s World inauguré dans l’ancienne demeure de l’artiste à Corsier-sur-Vevey, en Suisse, s’inscrit dans le registre des maisons-musées et des centres d’interprétation. Il offre aux visiteurs l’expérience de la vie domestique de Chaplin et de son œuvre en adoptant une muséologie de point de vue. Alors que l’ambition immersive qui anime ce type de muséographie ouvre de nombreuses questions sur la ludification de l’expérience muséale, sur le statut des collections ou encore sur son efficacité pour attirer de nouveaux publics, il s’agira de questionner ici ce que la fiction cinématographique produit comme réalités scénographiques et spectatorielles. À partir de la notion de proximité, cet article éclairera les façons dont la visualité cinématographique s’articule à la muséalité de l’exposition-spectacle.
Le Musée des merveilles de Todd Haynes. Une quête d’identité personnelle au prisme d’une exploration des origines du musée et du cinéma
Authors: Bintein Céline
Published: June 2024

Le Musée des merveilles de Todd Haynes, réalisé en 2017, entrelace l’histoire de deux enfants sourds, Rose et Ben, l’une située en 1927, à la jonction du cinéma muet et du cinéma parlant, et l’autre en 1977. Un lien secret, révélé à la fin du film, unit ces deux récits, qui ont aussi pour dénominateur commun la ville de New York et deux de ses musées, le Museum d’histoire naturelle, ses dioramas et son cabinet de curiosités, ainsi que le Musée d’art du Queens, qui conserve le Panorama de New York. Ces deux espaces muséaux fascinent les deux protagonistes et le spectateur par leur puissance visuelle et spectaculaire. Ils constituent pour Rose et Ben des espaces hétérotopiques et hétérochroniques dans lesquels, comme le dit Foucault, « le temps ne cesse de s’amonceler et de se jucher au sommet de lui-même », et forment pour ces deux enfants une sorte de cocon protecteur qui va leur permettre de rebondir et de survivre malgré un double handicap, physique et familial. Notre article vise à montrer comment l’espace muséal informe le langage du film, sur le plan narratif, en constituant un espace visuel dans lequel les personnages peuvent explorer et lire leur histoire intime au sein d’une histoire collective, et sur le plan esthétique, en mettant en abyme les échanges féconds entre histoire du cinéma et histoire du musée, entre mise en scène cinématographique et scénographie muséale. Il interroge également la nature de l’émerveillement produit par ces dispositifs sur des personnages d’enfants et l’absence apparente de discours du film sur le contexte idéologique dans lequel ils ont été conçus.
Critique, dialogue et action. La représentation des musées dans Black Panther
Authors: Dine Susan
Published: June 2024

Au cours des dernières décennies, le monde des musées a consacré du temps et des ressources à l’étude des opinions et des actions de leurs visiteurs ; cependant, il est beaucoup plus difficile d’accéder aux perspectives d’un public plus général qui comprend les non-visiteurs. Cet article présente la culture visuelle populaire comme une forme d’engagement entre les professionnels des musées et le public. En analysant la scène muséale du film Black Panther des studios Marvel ainsi que les réactions qu’elle a suscitées, puis en les replaçant dans le contexte de l’histoire et de l’actualité du secteur muséal, il identifie les moyens par lesquels la culture visuelle populaire peut susciter des changements dans d’autres industries culturelles – en créant des critiques productives qui peuvent évoluer vers un dialogue et une action percutants pour modeler une recherche réactive et des pratiques muséales plus inclusives.

Impact of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy Initiation Time, Kidney Injury, and Hypervolemia in Critically Ill Children
Authors: Hadley Sierra , Thompson Julie , Beltramo Fernando , Marcum John , Reuter-Rice Karin
Published: June 2024

Background

The mortality rate of pediatric patients who require continuous renal replacement therapy is approximately 42%, and outcomes vary considerably depending on underlying disease, illness severity, and time of dialysis initiation. Delay in the initiation of such therapy may increase mortality risk, prolong intensive care unit stay, and worsen clinical outcomes.

Local Problem

In the pediatric intensive care unit of an urban level I trauma children’s hospital, continuous renal replacement therapy initiation times and factors associated with delays in therapy were unknown.

Methods

This quality improvement process involved a retrospective review of data on patients who received continuous dialysis in the pediatric intensive care unit from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021. The objectives were to examine the characteristics of the children requiring continuous renal replacement therapy, therapy initiation times, and factors associated with initiation delays that might affect unit length of stay and mortality.

Results

During the study period, 175 patients received continuous renal replacement therapy, with an average initiation time of 11.9 hours. Statistically significant associations were found between the degree of fluid overload and mortality (P < .001) and between the presence of acute kidney injury and prolonged length of stay (P = .04). No significant association was found between therapy initiation time and unit length of stay or mortality, although the average initiation time of survivors was 5.9 hours shorter than that of nonsurvivors.

Conclusion

Future studies are needed to assess real time delays and to evaluate if the implementation of a standardized initiation process decreases initiation time.
