Il futuro come Utopia?
Authors: Mandich Giuliana
Published: May 2023

This paper aims to understand how the first phase of exit from the pandemic has changed the temporality of everyday life and produced an affective atmosphere characterized by a positive attitude towards the future. I will start by analyzing the link between utopia and everyday life: on the one hand, as a privileged area of prefigurative practices in the different versions of utopian realism, and on the other, as trapped in the present in the theories of presentification. I will then examine some emblematic cases of a ‘need for the future’ that emerged in the first exit from the pandemic in the spring-summer 2021. Finally, starting from the affective and temporally complex nature of the present as conceptualized by Berlant (Berlant, 2011; Berlant, 2008) and Coleman (Coleman, 2020b; Coleman, 2020a), I will try to account for the push toward the future that the partial exit from the pandemic has perhaps brought out.
Poised between order and conflict: what future for the smart city?
Authors: Gurashi Romina
Published: May 2023

The aim of this study is to reflect on how the longstanding contradiction between order and conflict in urban contexts is now articulated in the context of smart cities. Apparently, smart cities are the best place to live in order to enjoy greater capacity for choice, self-determination, well-being and independence. But is this really the case? Are smart cities and their technological drift towards increasingly wider spaces of order and control really able to guarantee wide spaces of freedom? What role does or can conflict play? Through the analysis of various case studies (Qatar, China and Ukraine), we will try to improve our understanding of the dichotomous relationship between order and conflict both from an internal perspective within the city and from an external perspective (i.e. when attacks from outside occur).

The study will proceed through a preliminary analysis of the state of the art on the smart city literature in order to grasp what are the "promises" that this model of development brings with it and the criticalities connected to its development. At a later stage, we will proceed to focus on issues related to the problems of social order and conflict both from an internal and external perspective.

Practical and conceptual challenges to the EBP nursing movement have been. The limited available scientific evidence on the efficacy of many nursing practices is one of the serious concerns. EBP requests that study evidence from RCTs and other forms of intervention studies that are still limited in nursing be synthesized. On the other hand, comprehensive evaluations, meta-analyses, and systematic reviews that are performed in nursing are also that limited when compared to other disciplines, such as psychology and medicine.
Aims of the study: The study aimed at applying the declaration of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement to nursing and healthcare provider studies and adequacy of the published reports adhere to the statement and how the content of the published RCTs is being influenced by the adoption of CONSORT on the quality of reporting RCT.

It is important that nursing professionals use the CONSORT statement to review, publish, and utilize their reports of nursing clinical and gather the best evidence to support their clinical practice of use and their decision-making.
Recommendations: The authors should consult supervisors and biostatisticians experts early when formulating the study and analysis protocol to improve the quality of reporting the trials in nursing studies.

Use adequate checklists reporting, e.g., Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT), Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE).

Published: May 2023

The relationship between digital financing and firm’s profitability, customer satisfaction or organizational performance has been a topical issue in the field of finance and management over time. Nevertheless, the new reality introduced by the Covid-19 lockdown experience globally, has introduce a renewed interest on the impact of digital finance on organizational performance. The fact that people’s movements were restricted, yet there was needed to survive, so businesses had to go on to supply people’s need, payments needed to be made for people to purchase their wants. All these challenges made it clearer that digital financing was a solution to unlimited business transactions. Previous studies have looked at the relationship as well as impacts of digital financing on mostly financial institution. This study therefore, went further to look at the organisations that consume these financial services. The study’s objectives were to find out the impact of digital financing on firms’ profitability; the impact of digital financing on firms’ revenue and the effect of digital financing on firms’ market share. The study used primary data (sourced through questionnaire), from 326 respondents (MSME owners and management staff) sampled from 4,796 MSMEs in Uyo senatorial district of Akwa Ibom state. The collected data were analysed descriptively using means and standard deviation, while the PPMC was used to test the stated hypotheses. The findings of the study show that there is a significant impact of digital financing on firms’ profitability; that digital financing has a significant impact on firms’ revenue; and that digital financing has a positive relationship but an insignificant effect on firm’s market share. Therefore, the study recommends that firms that are yet to adopt digital financing should avail themselves, in order to stand a chance in the competition of the new reality (technology). Firms that had already adopted digital financing should acquire more digital capability and train their staff on digital financing skills.

Its prevalence is 2 cases per million populations [1]. Peritoneal pseudomyxoma may remain asymptomatic, discovered during laparotomy. CT scans are the most specific diagnostic tool. The appendicular origin of gelatinous ascites is the most common and represents 90% of causes. Mucinous tumours of the ovary are a very rare cause.

They included, the control that received sterile water (vehicle), 0.2 ml/ 100 g rat; a drug-only group which received a dosage of 0.07 mg/kg, p.o.; a drug and low dose extract group that received 0.07 mg/kg, p.o. and extract of 300 mg/kg, p.o.; a drug and high dose extract group that received 0.07 mg/kg, p.o. and extract of 400 mg/kg, p.o.; and an extract-only group which received 300 mg/kg, p.o. of extract, all for a duration of 64 days (8 weeks). The values obtained from the control and treatment groups were compared statistically using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Results showed a statistically significant (p<0.05) difference relative to the control group for sperm parameters.

Retroperitoneal cystic masses can be benign or malignant, purely cystic or with solid components. Several diagnoses can be evoked in front of a retroperitoneal cystic mass among which: the hydatid cyst of the psoas. The hydatid cyst of the psoas constitutes an exceptional localization of hydatidosis, even in hydatid endemic countries such as Morocco where hydatidosis remains frequent. We report 2 cases of hydatid cyst of the psoas, collected in the department of visceral surgery B at the CHU Ibn Sina in Rabat during a period of 5 years. Our objective was to focus on the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties of this condition. The clinical symptomatology consists of lateralized pain or at the level of the iliac fossa, it can be associated with an infectious syndrome which directs towards an abscess of the psoas but most often the evolution is done in a context of apyrexia and conservation general condition. The thoraco-abdominal CT confirmed the diagnosis and made it possible to specify the seat of the cyst and its neighborhood relationships. Therapeutic management was surgical in all cases; the diagnosis was made intraoperatively. The technique used was resection of the protruding dome via the midline, sub umbilical abdominal route for the first patient and pericystectomy via the Jalaguier approach for the second patient. The postoperative course was favorable in both cases and no case of recurrence was reported in our series.
