« Félicité rustique » ? L’imaginaire euphorique dans Gemma Bovery de Posy Simmonds
Authors: Godeau Florence
Published: June 2024

L’idée du « Bonheur », sous les formes stéréotypées du couple parfait ou de la famille nucléaire vivant heureuse dans une prairie fleurie, s’est diffusée au xxe siècle par le biais d’un fructueux commerce d’images et d’objets rendus désirables par l’image publicitaire ou les magazines féminins — médias relayés, au xxie siècle, par les comptes Instagram ou Facebook où s’étalent à l’envi maints clichés (au sens photographique comme au sens figuré) censés prouver et fixer dans une certitude pérenne un parfait « bonheur » conjugal, familial, parental, voire professionnel. Le présent article compare Madame Bovary de Gustave Flaubert et le roman graphique de Posy Simmonds, Gemma Bovery (qui fut initialement diffusé dans The Guardian, de 1997 à 1999, avant d’être publié en album par Jonathan Cape puis traduit en français en 2000, chez Denoël) sous l’angle spécifique des représentations textuelles et/ou visuelles qui traduisent à la fois la sensibilité exaltée des héroïnes et leur asservissement aux stéréotypes. La libre transposition de Posy Simmonds, par le biais d’un personnage féminin contemporain, esclave de représentations préfabriquées du « bonheur », de l’« amour » ou du « chic », permet de poser la question de la subjectivation du cliché en même temps que celle du medium. L’iconotexte de Posy Simmonds poursuit en effet, en termes nouveaux, l’ironie propre à Flaubert, celle notamment qui innerve les passages descriptifs et mine les rêveries d’Emma — comme montage de clichés culturels déclinés sur le mode de l’accumulation hétéroclite et de la surcharge esthétique. De manière différente, mais en vertu d’une intention critique analogue, les dessins et le texte de Simmonds (par exemple, le choix du noir et blanc, le cadrage, le graphisme, la juxtaposition cocasse et contrastive des vignettes, la place dévolue au texte) mettent en exergue des points de vue disparates et soulignent le hiatus croissant entre l’imagination de Gemma et sa vie quotidienne. La lecture ironiste suscitée par l’imagerie factice qui fait écran entre les protagonistes et le monde permet in fine d’interroger l’idée éminemment genrée, datée et discutable d’un « bonheur » au féminin nécessairement corrélé à un idéal amoureux.
Images flottantes du bonheur et cinéma reaganien
Authors: Pinguet Léo
Published: June 2024

Fin du xviiie siècle, Emmanuel Kant destitue l’Idéal du bonheur et du beau. En cause, leur indétermination et leur vocation fatale au vague de l’imagination plutôt qu’au défini de l’entendement. N’en demeure dès lors plus que des prototypes, des images, écrivait Kant, qui flottent entre les intuitions individuelles. Fin du xxe siècle, en pleine vogue post-moderne, Gilles Deleuze circonscrit un nouvel ennemi, pour la philosophie et pour notre croyance au monde : les clichés. Il les décrit alors, lui aussi, comme des images flottantes, anonymes, qui désormais parcourent le monde et constituent les mondes intérieurs de chacun. À la même époque, l’Amérique et son cinéma réinstaurent un nouveau prototype du bonheur, nostalgique des Fifties, emblématisé par le spot télévisé pour la réélection de Ronald Reagan, Morning in America (1984). Le spectre de ces images nous hante, jusqu’à aujourd’hui où le rêve néo-libéral des Eighties règne toujours. Le diagnostic posé, l’article propose une modeste séance d’exorcisme en faisant appel à deux autres films de l’époque : RoboCop (Paul Verhoeven, 1987) et Blue Velvet (David Lynch, 1986). Chacun propose une variation singulière d’un complexe fantasme-pulsion de nos images du bonheur, un reflet déformé, un autre usage des clichés du bonheur qui, c’est l’hypothèse soutenue, nous invitent non à les critiquer ou les juger comme Kant l’aurait proposé, mais comme l’a suggéré Deleuze, à les sentir autrement, avec l’espoir de nous ressaisir d’un peu de notre imaginaire et d’un soupçon de bonheur.
Paris 1900 de Nicole Vedrès : Une image du bonheur de la Belle Époque ?
Authors: Aragon Adrien
Published: June 2024

En 1947, Nicole Vedrès (1911-1965) présente au tout nouveau festival de Cannes, qui fête alors sa deuxième édition, un film documentaire intitulé Paris 1900. Généralement absente des histoires littéraires et des manuels scolaires, elle se range dans la trop longue catégorie des oubliés du XXe siècle. Paris 1900 est réalisé intégralement à partir d’images d’archives issues de films d’actualités ou de fictions. À partir des immenses fonds conservés par la Cinémathèque française et les studios Gaumont et Pathé, Nicole Vedrès démêle des kilomètres de pellicule pour décrire la Belle Époque. Le documentaire s’intéresse ainsi à l’exposition universelle de 1900, à une Tour Eiffel qui ne fait pas encore l’unanimité, aux habitudes parisiennes et à quelques figures littéraires. Le siècle à venir est placé sous le signe du progrès, de l’élégance et de la légèreté et Paris semble en devoir être l’épicentre. Le texte rédigé par Nicole Vedrès accompagne les images en soulignant leur force évocatrice et laisse au spectateur le soin de reconstruire une expérience sensible de laquelle la nostalgie ne saurait être absente. L’image du bonheur liée à la Belle Époque est qualifiée, par Berstein et Milza, d’« image d’Epinal » née après une Première Guerre mondiale qui a bouleversé l’ordre des choses. En 1947, c’est depuis une autre après-guerre que Nicole Vedrès réalise son film et il s’agit encore d’évoquer un âge d’or perdu et n’ayant peut-être jamais existé. Le succès que connut Paris 1900, au moment où l’on est en droit de douter de l’existence même du bonheur, est peut-être révélateur de ce besoin de représentation, entre illusions perdues et nécessité de croire.
Le bonheur : un concept occidental ?
Authors: Guillet Sariols Gaëlle
Published: June 2024

Cet article étudie une chronique publiée dans Libération au mois d’août 1993. Écrivain·es, philosophes et photographes étaient invité·es à présenter leur interprétation du bonheur. La plupart des images proposées coïncident avec un imaginaire constitué : des scènes estivales, les vacances, l’amour, la famille. Parmi elles, la photographie en noir et blanc « Le Bonheur » de Graciela Iturbide attire particulièrement notre attention. Elle montre une fillette mixtèque riant aux côtés d’une dépouille animale. La photo ne reprend aucun des motifs traditionnellement associés au bonheur. Au contraire, la photographe montre une réalité mexicaine et autochtone : la joie de la fête. Par l’analyse de l’image d’Iturbide, nous envisagerons d’autres voies de représentations du bonheur, qui déstabilisent les clichés culturellement et historiquement situés en Occident.

Tobacco use poses a significant health risk to the Thai population, contributing to serious illnesses such as cancer and lung disease while also increasing the risk of tuberculosis. This six-month quasi-experimental study, conducted in Phrae Province, Thailand, aims to assess the effectiveness of the mobile phone mini-game, “Duet Me,” with its engaging design and HBM alignment in enhancing tobacco knowledge among adolescents. A sample of 99 fifteen-year-olds participated, with the focus on a two-month intervention period and a four-month follow-up. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires. Demographic analysis revealed that the intervention group comprised 51% females, and the comparison group comprised 54% females. Approximately 23.2% of participants reported prior tobacco use. Both groups initiated the study with a low level of knowledge (p-value>0.05). The intervention group exhibited a significant increase in tobacco knowledge at both the two-month post-intervention and four-month follow-up, outperforming the comparison group (p-value<0.05). Repeated measures ANOVA revealed a significant difference in the mean knowledge scores between the two groups over time, supporting the game’s effectiveness (p-value<0.0001). Pairwise comparison confirmed sustainable knowledge improvement in the intervention group (p-value<0.0001). The findings suggest that innovative interventions play a positive role in promoting health education among adolescents, potentially contributing to fostering informed decision-making toward tobacco consumption.
Comparison between using an Automatic Uterine Massage Machine and manual uterine massage on postpartum blood loss within two hours after delivery at labour room, Phramongkutklao Hospital

Published: June 2024

This experimental study compares the effectiveness of Automatic Uterine Massage Machine (AUMM) and Manual Uterine Massage on uterine contraction intensity and the amount of postpartum blood loss within two hours after delivery. The participants consisted of 60 postpartum women who were within 2 hours of their normal delivery at Phramongkutklao Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand. The experimental and comparison groups each consisted of 30 participants allocated by a simple random method when visiting the labour room. The comparison group received a manual uterine massage by a nurse, while the experimental group received AUMM. Both groups received standard postpartum care, which included assessment for postpartum hemorrhage, administration of oxytocin 10 units, and ensuring an empty bladder. Mann-Whitney U test was used to analyze the difference in uterine contraction intensity and amount of postpartum blood loss between the groups. The participants’ characteristics between the groups revealed no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). The manual uterine massage group exhibited significantly stronger uterine contractions compared to the AUMM group (p < 0.001). The key findings indicated that there was no significant difference in the amount of blood loss during the first 2 hours after delivery between the two groups (p = 0.323). Although using AUMM resulted in a significantly lower uterine contraction intensity, the amount of postpartum blood loss was not significantly different compared to the manual uterine massage group. Therefore, AUMM could be an alternative to manual uterine massage, especially in healthcare facilities facing a shortage of nursing staff, particularly during the critical period of the first 2 hours after delivery.

Impact of Money Supply and Inflation on Economic Growth
Authors: Ahmad Asfaq
Published: June 2024

Understanding the impact of money supply and inflation on Nepal's economic development is the main objective of the current study. This work aims to give empirical backing to the current debate over money supply, inflation, and the relationship between these factors and economic growth. More research has been done recently on the relationship between money supply and economic growth than on any other topic in the field of monetary economics. A price increase that, over time, results in a decline in buying power is known as inflation. This study looks at how inflation and the money supply affected economic development between 1974–1975 and 2022–2023. When establishing if there is long-term co-integration among variables when the bound test has been applied, the ARDL co-integration approach is employed in the study to ascertain the link between the variables. GDP is the dependent variable, and the independent variables are broad money (M2) and consumer price inflation (CPI), respectively. The notion that inflation is always a monetary event needs to be revisited and reevaluated, particularly in light of the distinct dynamics of inflation in developing economies. The research indicates a positive correlation between CPI and economic growth. The data indicates that CPI has a significant influence on economic growth in emerging nations like Nepal.

Published: June 2024

The study investigated the relationship between executive compensation and financial performance of quoted industrial goods manufacturing firms in Nigeria. The study utilized an ex-post facto research design due to the lack of control over the data collected, focusing on four (4) listed industrial goods manufacturing companies in Nigeria out of a population of thirteen (13). This sample was selected purposively based on the availability of complete and up-to-date data from the companies' annual financial reports obtained from the Nigerian Exchange Bulletin for the year 2023. Through secondary data sources, the researcher conducted descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis to investigate the relationship between salary, bonus, and profit after tax of the selected firms. This approach allowed the researchers to explore existing data and draw insights into the financial dynamics of the industrial goods manufacturing sector in Nigeria without directly intervening in the data collection process. The results revealed a significant positive association between salary and profit after tax, indicating that higher salaries may contribute to increased profitability for these firms. However, bonus was found to have no significant impact on profit after tax. These findings suggest that while salary plays a crucial role in influencing profitability, bonus schemes alone may not directly affect the financial performance of industrial goods manufacturing companies in Nigeria. Hence, the investigators further suggested that management should review salary structures to ensure competitiveness and alignment with employee responsibilities and performance, potentially leading to increased productivity and profitability. Also, management should implement performance-based bonus schemes tied to specific key performance indicators or financial targets to incentivize employees towards strategic goals and drive productivity.

Hydrogel-Based Drug Delivery Nanosystems for the Treatment of Brain Tumors: A Systematic Review
Authors: Kumar Subham , Kumari Puja , Suthar Dilip , Raj Rajeev Ranjan , Jain Aniket
Published: June 2024

The limitations and negative effects of current therapeutic techniques for brain tumors necessitate the selection of alternative therapeutic options. Therapeutic hydrogel systems that are monitored by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are one alternative for neurosurgical treatment of brain tumors that does not need any invasive procedures. There is a significant deal of potential for the treatment of brain tumors that can be attributed to the specific physical and chemical properties that hydrogels possess. The ability to encapsulate therapeutic molecules, provide regulated and sustained drug release, and successfully pass the blood-brain barrier are some of the properties that are included in this category. By combining hydrogel systems with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) capabilities, it is possible to design therapeutic approaches that provide regulated release of therapeutic medications and real-time monitoring possibilities. Despite the fact that surgical resection is still extremely important, there is a growing demand for alternatives that can supplement or even replace it. Within the scope of this narrative review, the therapeutic hydrogel systems that are monitored by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be evaluated to determine their potential for the non-surgical treatment of brain tumors.
Acute Presentation of Autoimmune Hepatitis: Case Report
Authors: Ghosh Jaya , Ghosh Jhumur
Published: June 2024

This case report describes the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment outcome of a 38-year-old female patient presenting with yellow discoloration of eyes and urine, along with associated symptoms such as nausea, poor appetite, abdominal pain, extreme fatigue, and mild joint pain. The patient had a history of amenorrhea for three months and no family history of autoimmune disease or drug-induced liver injury. Upon examination, the patient exhibited deep icterus and mild tender hepatomegaly, but without signs of acute liver failure. Laboratory investigations revealed elevated liver function markers and positive autoimmune antibodies, including antinuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-smooth muscle antibody (ASMA), while ruling out other possible etiologies such as viral hepatitis, Wilson's disease, and hemochromatosis. Imaging studies showed features of acute hepatitis, and liver biopsy could not be performed due to prolonged prothrombin time. The patient was diagnosed with probable autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and initiated on a treatment regimen consisting of prednisolone 40 mg daily, which was gradually tapered over time and added azathioprine 100 mg daily. The patient demonstrated significant improvement in liver function tests with this treatment approach. However, she discontinued treatment on her own accord but continued to have normal liver function during subsequent follow-up visits. During the consultation, the patient and healthcare provider engaged in a comprehensive discussion concerning the significance of sustained treatment over an extended period and the inherent possibility of relapse.
THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR CROSS-BORDER DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN MAINLAND CHINA AND HKSAR

Published: June 2024

Cross-border data transfer is a hard issue in today’s world of “digital nationalism”. In this post-Snowden world, data-localization has become the norm. China has adopted data localization rules in various laws, from Internet Security Law to Data Security Law. China’s constitutional structure of “one country, two systems” presents a unique question to data localization: should cross-border data transfer between the Mainland and SARs (Special Administrative Regions) be constrained by data-localization rules? Since both basic laws for Hong Kong and Macau define these two SARs as "free trade" zones and "separate customs" territories, once data from the Mainland are transferred to the SARs, there would be no existing laws to hinder their further flow to the globe. Furthermore, the SARs have their laws protecting data rights and regulating data use, which are quite different from the national laws. These unique features render cross-border data transfer within China a challenging and interesting topic. This article takes the challenge by focusing on the legal framework for data transfer between Mainland China and Hong Kong. It delineates the relevant legal rules in China and its HKSAR, points out the obstacles and difficulties, and suggests reforms. Keywords: Cross-Border Data Transfer, Digital Sovereignty, Data Localization, National Security, Hong Kong SAR, Mainland China
El razonamiento del profesorado de Biología sobre el obstáculo epistemológico teleológico
Authors: Ravanal Moreno Eduardo , Díaz Ramírez Camila , González Galli Leonardo
Published: June 2024

El razonamiento pedagógico es fundamental para desarrollar prácticas de enseñanza informadas, pero su pleno potencial se ve limitado por la reflexión convencional que habitualmente se promueve, limitando la capacidad del profesorado para explicar los motivos detrás de su práctica. En ese contexto, se diseñó un estudio cuantitativo con el objetivo de caracterizar el razonamiento pedagógico de 32 profesores de Biología en servicio ante una situación hipotética de clase que, implícitamente, da cuenta de un obstáculo epistemológico teleológico sobre evolución, a partir del cual los participantes perciben, predicen y justifican. Los hallazgos revelan que los profesores noveles son más propensos a identificar un obstáculo epistemológico, mientras que la capacidad para justificar las predicciones es un aspecto desafiante tanto para profesores noveles como experimentados.

Published: June 2024

The 17-4PH stainless steel filament was characterised and utilised to study the effect of printing parameters, i.e. printing temperature, layer thickness, infill pattern and extrusion multiplier on the physical properties. The as-printed and as-sintered internal structures were analysed. The results showed that the as-printed density increases with increasing printing temperature and extrusion multiplier and decreasing layer thickness. The use of the line infill pattern also provided slightly higher as-printed density than the concentric infill pattern due to the low fraction of void between deposited paths. After sintering, the trace of these voids can be observed together with smaller-size residual pores from the spaces between powders, which is the nature of the pressureless sintering process. The microstructure of the as-sintered specimens was similar to the typical microstructure of the 17-4PH alloy fabricated by metal injection moulding process, which contains delta ferrite, martensite and Si-rich phases. In additions, the internal void generated during debinding and sintering results in unexpectedly low tensile properties and results in the difference in tensile properties between the concentric and line infill patterns.

Published: June 2024

The combination of freeze drying and sucrose leaching technique was employed to fabricate PLA/HA scaffolds with controlled pore size. The influence of the HA content and sucrose size on the scaffold properties was investigated. The fabricated scaffolds showed porous properties with a porosity of 44% to 58% and pore size of 461 μm to 688 μm. The results indicated that the scaffolds possessed favorable porous properties, illustrated by good interconnectivity, appropriate pore size, and suitable porosity. These characteristics were crucial for facilitating bone cell growth and promoting the formation of new tissue within the scaffold structure. The compressive modulus of the scaffolds was examined and found to be in the range of 3.35 MPa to 5.75 MPa. Furthermore, the degradation behavior of the scaffolds was studied for 28 days in a Phosphate Buffered Saline solution. The results showed that the degradation rate was varied in the range of 6% to 14%. The water uptake of the scaffolds exhibited a range between 180% and 200%. Enhancement in water uptake was observed with higher HA content and increased sucrose size. Consequently, the scaffolds developed in this study hold promise as optimal candidates for bone tissue engineering applications.

Published: June 2024

La presente investigación analiza la importancia del nombre comercial y la marca de servicios como formas de protección de la propiedad intelectual. El objetivo es determinar si la protección que brinda la actividad comercial de un establecimiento se extiende a sus servicios sin necesidad de registrar la marca. Esto permitiría a los propietarios de signos distintivos proteger sus negocios de manera más sencilla y efectiva, sin tener que realizar trámites que retrasen su actividad. El estudio toma en cuenta el caso signado bajo el PROCESO No. 110-IP-2008, en el que el Tribunal de Justicia de la Comunidad Andina se pronunció sobre la necesidad de registrar la marca de servicios para su protección. La decisión del Tribunal fue que, si bien la legislación ecuatoriana permite que un nombre comercial proteja los servicios de un establecimiento después de su primer uso, lo cual genera un análisis de la necesidad jurídica de solicitar el registro de marca para la protección del servicio aun cuando la premisa legal permite que después del primer uso en el establecimiento ya tiene protección, convirtiéndose en un procedimiento innecesario hacia los propietarios de distintos tipos de negocios.

Authors: Osorio Quimbita Ana Carolina , Alvarado Verdezoto Juan Francisco
Published: June 2024

El objetivo de este articulo académico es analizar si existen o no consecuencias de la demora o la falta de respuesta a la apelación de un acto administrativo, y cómo ésta afecta al derecho a recurrir de los administrados consagrado en la Constitución e Instrumentos Internacionales. La falta de disposiciones claras en la legislación ecuatoriana respecto a las consecuencias de no resolver y notificar el recurso administrativo de apelación en el plazo establecido genera incertidumbre y vulnera el debido proceso y los derechos de los ciudadanos. Esta laguna legal compromete la eficacia y legitimidad de los recursos de apelación, destacando la necesidad de abordar esta situación para garantizar el respeto a los derechos de los administrados y fortalecer la transparencia en la administración pública. Esto dificulta el ejercicio efectivo de los derechos de los administrados, especialmente cuando se busca impugnar decisiones que afectan sus intereses. El recurso de apelación tiene como fin principal ofrecer a los ciudadanos una vía de revisión de las decisiones administrativas que consideren injustas o incorrectas. A través de este recurso, los administrados pueden impugnar ante una autoridad superior las resoluciones emitidas por una instancia administrativa inferior. La metodología empleada en este artículo se fundamentó en un enfoque cualitativo, con la aplicación de los métodos exegético, inductivo y analítico.

Published: June 2024

Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa de iniciação científica realizada nos últimos dois anos e objetiva analisar as principais políticas de emprego e renda implementadas durante o governo Bolsonaro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva e qualiquantitativa, utilizando como instrumento de coleta de dados sites do governo federal e sites de organismos não governamentais. Os resultados obtidos nos permitem identificar que a política de emprego e renda do governo em tela seguiu a tendência histórica, primando pela lógica da qualificação e do empreendedorismo e responsabilizando os próprios sujeitos sociais pela ausência de emprego e renda, revelando-se residual, paliativa, seletiva e incapaz de atender as necessidades reais da classe trabalhadora brasileira.

Published: June 2024

Este trabalho visa analisar a aquisição dos direitos políticos dos povos indígenas e explorar as inovações introduzidas pela Resolução TSE nº 23.659/2021, que regula o alistamento eleitoral e votação no Brasil. A legislação nacional, em especial a Constituição Federal de 1988 e o Código Eleitoral, serve como alicerce para a soberania popular, destacando a obrigatoriedade do voto para cidadãos maiores de dezoito anos e enfatizando o sufrágio universal. A Resolução do TSE destaca-se por seu foco na inclusão dos indígenas, procurando superar obstáculos como barreiras linguísticas, culturais, e a falta de representatividade política adequada. Alinhada aos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável da ONU, especialmente o ODS 16, a Resolução busca promover a inclusão e participação ativa dos povos indígenas no processo democrático. Através de uma metodologia que inclui revisão legislativa e bibliográfica, o estudo pretende avaliar o impacto dessa legislação na garantia dos direitos políticos indígenas e na sua inclusão política, levando em consideração suas especificidades culturais e linguísticas. A importância deste estudo é reforçada pela necessidade de assegurar representação política efetiva dos povos indígenas, conforme destacado pelo então presidente do TSE, Luís Roberto Barroso, ao enfatizar o papel fundamental do Cadastro Nacional do Eleitorado na promoção da cidadania.

Published: June 2024

A atividade física pode ser influenciada por vários fatores, quando estes geram obstáculos ou impedem sua prática, são entendidos como barreiras. O estudo tem como objetivo analisar as barreiras para prática de atividade física por usuários de uma Unidade de Saúde da Família no interior do Ceará. Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e analítico, realizado com usuários da atenção primária à saúde de um município cearense. Para coleta de dados foram utilizados o questionário de percepção de barreiras de Martins e Petroski (2000), e o questionário sociodemográfico construído pelas pesquisadoras. Foram realizadas as estatísticas descritivas e inferenciais (quiquadrado) no software JASP versão 0.17.3. A amostra do estudo foi composta por 101 participantes, sendo (65%) com idades entre 30 e 59 anos e (84%) mulheres. As barreiras mais relatadas foram: falta de companhia (35,6%); falta de energia/cansaço físico (33,6%); falta de interesse em praticar (33,6%); jornada de trabalho extensa (29,7%); falta de recursos financeiros (26,7%) e compromissos familiares (26,7%). A falta de companhia e a falta de recursos financeiros estiveram associados estatisticamente ao sexo feminino (p<0,05). Conclui-se que as barreiras citadas são fatores envolvidos no engajamento dos usuários de uma unidade de saúde da família em relação à prática de atividade física no interior do Ceará, sendo a maioria advinda da dimensão social.
