Native and non-native unionids respond differently to the presence of fouling dreissenid mussels
Authors: Wiśniewski Kamil , Balogh Csilla , Kobak Jarosław , Szarmach Daniel , Jermacz Łukasz , Poznańska-Kakareko Małgorzata
Published: October 2024

Unionid mussels are globally threatened by several human disturbances, including the introduction of non-native species. Among these, biofouling zebra and quagga mussels of Ponto-Caspian origin are considered to be especially detrimental to unionid locomotion, filtration and physical condition. The aim of our study was to determine and compare the impact of dreissenid fouling and/or presence on locomotion and burrowing of the native Unio tumidus and invasive Sinanodonta woodiana, a novel invader expanding its range in Europe in recent decades. We tested unionids collected from Lake Balaton (central Europe) that were fouled by dreissenids (zebra and quagga mussels mixed), cleaned of fouling or non-fouled (collected without any signs of dreissenid fouling). Moreover, unionids were tested in the presence or absence of other fouled individuals and dreissenids isolated in mesh bags to determine the influence of direct fouling and presence of dreissenids in the environment on unionid behaviour. Movement initiation time, locomotion distance and burrowing level were retrieved from videos recorded for 24 hours. Direct fouling affected only the behaviour of U. tumidus, limiting their burrowing and delaying movements. After removal of fouling, movement timing returned back to normal, but mussels still burrowed less than the control non-fouled individuals, indicating persisting effects of fouling on physical condition. Moreover, U. tumidus reduced their locomotion in the presence of fouled unionids. Sinanodonta woodiana responded to the presence of dreissenids (especially quagga mussels) with increased burrowing. These different responses of the two unionid species to Dreissena spp. indicate that biofoulers may influence biotic interactions between the unionids by promoting the invasive species (less susceptible to negative effects of fouling). Moreover, S. woodiana may indirectly affect U. tumidus through apparent competition, constituting an environmental reservoir of biofoulers exerting a stronger impact on the native species.

L’Appel du Tantra : Spectacle expérientiel corps-cœur-esprit
Authors: Nedelcu Nartan , Giret Sophia
Published: October 2024

Trois quêtes, trois rencontres avec la voie du tantra, un même appel à transcender l’épreuve et à aimer. Au travers d’un spectacle participatif – dansé, conté, théâtralisé – Kamissa, Sophia, Nartan proposent un voyage qui se veut autant expressif qu’introspectif. En plongeant dans l’authenticité radicale des moments charnières où la vie de ces trois protagonistes a basculé et rencontré le tantra, nous invitons les spect’acteurs et spect’actrices – avec leur consentement – à se relier à leurs ressentis et à se mettre en mouvement au travers de micro-pratiques tantriques soutenant le processus artistique et immersif. Engageant les quatre niveaux d’attention que sont le corps physique, les émotions, l’imaginaire et la dimension spirituelle de nos êtres, ce processus combine la force expressive des arts vivants et la puissance transformative individuelle et collective du tantra pour rendre dicible l’intime et méditer activement sur nos chemins de guérison et d’émancipation. Réservé aux plus de 18 ans, ce spectacle implique des scènes et thèmes sensibles, engagés émotionnellement, qui peuvent faire écho aux histoires de chacun et chacune et plus globalement à l’histoire d’une société blessée en quête de réconciliation et de reliance. Un espace d’écoute est proposé à la fin pour prendre soin de ce qui se libère.

Analyse narrative de « récits de nature » de jeunes Parisiennes et Fréjusiennes : approche sociolinguistique des expériences de nature
Authors: Kloetzer Laure , Deshayes Thierry , Prévot Anne-Caroline , Sierra Jimenez Mara
Published: October 2024

Le présent article rend compte d’un travail d’analyse narrative de « récits de nature » produits dans le cadre du projet « Le bruit des loups » par 456 élèves de 6 à 20 ans au moment de leur réalisation, scolarisées dans des écoles primaires, des collèges et des lycées autour de Paris et Fréjus (France). À travers ce travail, nous souhaitons interroger l’existence d’expériences de nature – au sens de rencontre avec la nature – telles que vécues, relatées, médiées, reconstruites par l’énonciation des jeunes scriptrices concernées. À cette fin, l’étude des structures narratives est mise en perspective avec leur situation de production et croisée avec un codage thématique des types d’expériences relatées. Nos questions de recherche sont les suivantes : quelles formes narratives sont mobilisées pour construire quels types de récits ? Quels types d’expériences relatent-elles ? Comment les jeunes scriptrices évaluent-elles ces expériences en termes émotionnels ? En quoi les structurations narratives des récits peuvent-elles nous éclairer sur le caractère transformateur des dites expériences pour les jeunes scriptrices ? Quelles expériences mises en récits semblent porteuses de ces transformations ?
Un enfermement au féminin ? Réflexions comparatives franco-québécoises
Authors: Saulier Maïté
Published: October 2024

Faut-il adapter la prison aux femmes ? Une réponse affirmative semble s’imposer, tant à la lecture de règles internationales qu’à celle de certaines réglementations nationales pour assurer une égalité réelle entre femmes et hommes incarcérés, égalité aujourd’hui inexistante en France. Pourtant, une étude des pratiques et approches institutionnelles québécoises, qui promeuvent l’existence d’une « pénalité au féminin », peut conduire à une lecture critique de cette politique carcérale adaptée aux femmes.

Par un arrêt du 18 janvier 2024, la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme a constaté la violation, par la France, de l’article 10 de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme protégeant la liberté d’expression dans une affaire où était en cause la condamnation d’une salariée du chef de diffamation publique pour la dénonciation, dans un courrier électronique adressé à une poignée de destinataires, du comportement de son supérieur hiérarchique constitutif, selon elle, d’un harcèlement moral et sexuel et d’agression sexuelle à son égard. La violation constatée est tirée d’une application, jugée excessivement rigide par la Cour, des règles de droit interne entourant la publicité et la légitimité de l’expression litigieuse.
Vers une meilleure compréhension des pratiques de contrôle de gestion au sein des clubs de football professionnels marocains
Authors: Ezzahiri Mustapha , El-Guennouni Ghizlane , Achhaiba Mehdi
Published: October 2024

Cet article examine les pratiques de contrôle de gestion (CdG) au sein des clubs de football professionnels (CFP) marocains, un sujet peu exploré dans la littérature. L’objectif est d’analyser les dispositifs de CdG en place, d’identifier les facteurs influençant leur adoption et de comprendre comment ces pratiques répondent aux défis des CFP. Pour ce faire, une approche qualitative a été adoptée, combinant une étude documentaire et des entretiens semi-directifs avec les responsables de neuf CFP et dix experts du secteur sportif. Les résultats indiquent que les dispositifs de CdG dans ces clubs sont d’une portée limitée et souvent influencés par des facteurs de contingence, tels que la pression des parties prenantes et l’accompagnement de la Fédération Royale Marocaine de Football (FRMF). Bien que certains clubs cherchent à adopter des pratiques de CdG pour améliorer leurs performances, beaucoup se concentrent principalement sur la légitimation de leurs activités. L’étude met en lumière les obstacles à l’adoption de nouvelles pratiques de CdG, soulignant la nécessité d’une meilleure formation et d’un soutien institutionnel pour renforcer la gestion des clubs. En outre, les limites liées à la complexité de l’étude et aux défis d’accès aux données ouvrent des perspectives pour des recherches futures.
Using multiple linear regression for biochemical oxygen demand prediction in water
Authors: Mutai Isaiah Kiprono , Van Laerhoven Kristof , Karuri Nancy Wangechi , Tewo Robert Kimutai
Published: October 2024

Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) is an important water quality measurement but takes five days or more to obtain. This may result in delays in taking corrective action in water treatment. Our goal was to develop a BOD predictive model that uses other water quality measurements that are quicker than BOD to obtain; namely pH, temperature, nitrogen, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, and total coliform. Principal component analysis showed that the data spread was in the direction of the BOD eigenvector. The vectors for pH, temperature, and fecal coliform contributed the greatest to data variation, and dissolved oxygen negatively correlated to BOD. K-means clustering suggested three clusters, and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding showed that BOD had a strong influence on variation in the data. Pearson correlation coefficients indicated that the strongest positive correlations were between BOD, and fecal and total coliform, as well as nitrogen. The largest negative correlation was between dissolved oxygen, and BOD. Multiple linear regression (MLR) using fecal, and total coliform, dissolved oxygen, and nitrogen to predict BOD, and training/test data of 80%/20% and 90%/10% had performance indices of RMSE = 2.21 mg/L, r = 0.48 and accuracy of 50.1%, and RMSE = 2.18 mg/L, r = 0.54 and an accuracy of 55.5%, respectively. BOD prediction was better than previous MLR models. Increasing the percentage of the training set above 80% improved the model accuracy but did not significantly impact its prediction. Thus, MLR can be used successfully to estimate BOD in water using other water quality measurements that are quicker to obtain.

It was shown that, under some mild conditions, each component $ G_r $ of a nonlinear generalized Lie $ n $-higher derivation $ \{G_r\}_{r\in N} $ of the triangular algebra $ \mathcal{U} $ could be expressed as the sum of an additive generalized higher derivation and a nonlinear mapping vanishing on all ($ n-1 $)-th commutators on $ \mathcal{U} $.
Linguistics complex intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators and their applications to plastic waste management approach selection
Authors: Yasmin Sumaira , Qiyas Muhammad , Abdullah Lazim , Naeem Muhammad
Published: October 2024

Linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators are a novel idea for the description of intuitionistic fuzzy information, where linguistic complex concepts are used to describe membership and non-membership. This can convey the hazy information more clearly, and some findings on linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators have been attained. Nonetheless, several linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation operators in the literature are founded on conventional operational principles, which have certain limitations when used to multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM). In this study, we presented some improved operating rules based on linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy variables (LCIFVs) and changed their features to address these issues. Next, we created a few aggregation operators, such as the enhanced linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy weighted average (LCIFWA) and the linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted averaging (LCIFOWA) operator, to fuse the decision information represented by LCIFVs. We also demonstrated that they had a few favorable qualities. We introduced many novel approaches to address the MAGDM issues in the context of the linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy environment, based on the LCIFOWA and linguistic complex intuitionistic fuzzy ordered weighted geometric (LCIFOWG) operators. In short, we employed few real-world scenarios to demonstrate the viability and soundness of the suggested techniques through comparison with other approaches. This unique technique has been applied to plastic waste management selection, and the results are more accurate than the previously used materials and methods.
Goethe tra arte e scienza

“Arte e scienza hanno dei punti in comune? Se sì, come possono coesistere e consistere in unico colpo d’occhio? È solo la genialità personale di un uomo come Goethe che ha potuto riunirle, oppure esiste qualcosa di più profondo che sta alle radici di queste due attività o che consente di vagheggiare una lontana fonte da cui entrambe scaturiscono?” Sono queste le principali domande che guidano le ricchissime e illuminanti lezioni, che Francesco Moiso tenne all’Università di Milano nell’anno accademico 2000-01 e che qui riproponiamo in una nuova edizione.

La circulation migratoire : une notion pour penser les migrations internationales
Authors: Arab Chadia
Published: October 2024

Notre réflexion présente la notion de circulation migratoire, telle que nous l’avons définie dans notre travail de thèse en géographie1. De nouvelles formes d’organisation spatiale sont mises en lumière par cette approche qui dépasse l’observation d’espaces « sédentaires » produits par des relations verticales entre les hommes et leur espace. La discontinuité des lieux investis par les migrants amène à s’intéresser à la notion de circulation migratoire inventée d’abord par les géographes. Elle trouve là toute sa pertinence pour comprendre l’ensemble des flux migratoires au sein d’un espace et permet de mieux appréhender les emboîtements d’échelle qui vont du micro-local à un espace plus global.

The discovery of the role of Bruton’s Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) in inflammation and autoimmunity has recently led to the development of BTK inhibitors for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, including pemphigus vulgaris. We herein present the case of a patient affected by pemphigus vulgaris, refractory to conventional immunosuppressive therapies and to multiple courses of rituximab, who was treated with rilzabrutinib and achieved disease control, but whose immunological profile switched from pemphigus vulgaris to pemphigus foliaceus after drug discontinuation. Furthermore, we review the literature in order to better characterize the phenotypic transitions from pemphigus vulgaris to pemphigus foliaceus reported so far. The factors underlying this transition are largely unknown, although it has been postulated that immunosuppressive therapies may be more effective against anti-desmoglein 3 antibodies compared to anti-desmoglein 1. However, further studies are needed to better define the effect of rilzabrutinib (and immunosuppressive therapies in general) on anti-desmoglein 1 and anti-desmoglein 3 antibodies.
Understanding Christian translation and its missiological relevance

Christian translation is integral to Christian missions that benefit the ingenious people and the gospel. Among early missionary activities, translations of the Bible to vernacular language have tremendous implications for the gospel propagation. Its roots are well spelt out in the early church, which endorsed Christianity as a universal faith. The researchers observe the historical and missiological perspective of Bible translation. They used library materials and internet sources to explain the meaning of translation, such as explaining a text language in the context of the recipients. This article contains a biblical basis for Bible translations, as it was from the early scriptures, and it concludes by explaining the relevance of Christian translation in terms of literacy, preservation of culture and freedom from slavery, among others. Christian translation has helped to create different versions of the Bible; the New Testament alone is available in 1551 languages out of over 7100 languages worldwide. Christian translation shows that Christian missionaries are not another form of a colonising agency because their activities resulted in actions that led to the end of colonisation in many parts of Africa. The author used a descriptive research method for this article.Contribution: From the analysis, Christian translation is a vital part of Christian missions that has many benefits for the ingenious people by preserving their cultural practices and language, among others. It also made Christianity not to be perceived as a foreign religion that has no link with the African Belief system. Christians are to seek to translate more materials, especially the Bible, into other peoples’ languages to have a lasting impact on the indigenous people.
A cross-sectional study on distinctive factors associated with conduct behaviors among children presenting with inattention-hyperactivity disorders in Indian context
Authors: Ray Anindya Kumar , Mitra Saikat
Published: October 2024

Introduction:

Conduct behaviors are frequently associated with disorders of inattention and hyperactivity. Many studies have been done in the Western population on predictors of those conduct behaviors among these children with inattention-hyperactivity. However, such studies are lacking in the Indian context. Thus, the current study examined the distinctive factors associated with conduct behaviors among children presenting with inattention-hyperactivity Disorders in the Indian setting.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was done in a Medical College of Kolkata with two groups of children and adolescents each having 50 samples diagnosed as hyperkinetic conduct disorder (HKCD) and hyperkinetic disorder of attention and activity (HKD-AA) as per International Classification of Diseases-10th version. Comparison between the two groups was made with the abbreviated (10-item) Conners’ rating scale for parents (CPRS-HI) and a semi-structured socio-demographic pro forma to find out the distinctive factors associated with HKCD.

Results:

On comparison between the two groups, significant differences (P < 0.05) were found in items such as male sex, birth complications, inadequate social-skill development, paternal alcohol use disorders (AUD), and disturbed family ambience, which were significantly higher in HKCD. Among CPRS-HI items, impulsivity was the distinguishing feature of HKCD. However, the total severity scores of CPRS-HI were similar in both the groups. In our population, maternal substance abuse was not found, and mood and alcohol use disorders were more common than childhood externalizing disorders in the family history.

Conclusion:

Similar to the Western population, in our study male sex, birth complications, paternal-AUD, and disturbed family ambience are distinctively higher in conduct behaviors, but contrary to them, there is no maternal substance abuse, and severity of inattention-hyperactivity scores are similar in children with or without conduct behaviors.

Orbital cellulitis is often seen as a serious complication of acute rhinosinusitis. Facial trauma is one of the possible causes of orbital cellulitis. A middle-aged man, a mason by occupation, presented to ENT OPD following a facial trauma. He presented with a laceration over the right zygomatic region with right-sided periorbital swelling and redness. Wide-spectrum antibiotics were initiated for the patient. Pus was drained daily, and surgical debridement of the wound followed by sterile dressing of the wound cavity was done regularly until the pus discharge totally stopped. The patient was taken for secondary suturing and was discharged after that. However, the patient lost to follow-up. Facial trauma is a cause of orbital cellulitis. Orbital cellulitis is an emergency condition and requires urgent medical attention. Adequate antibiotic therapy is of utmost importance to treat the condition. Surgical care is advisable if the medical line of management fails.

Sobel Edge detection algorithm is used to extract the edges (region of maximum variation) from an image. It is based on the concept that the edges of an image contains maximum information whose computation depends on multipliers and square root. As multipliers consume more logic, a modified sobel edge detection algorithm which does not employ multipliers and square root function is proposed. A mathematical model of the proposed sobel edge algorithm was first developed and MATLAB was used to verify the model. On comparing with the original model, the proposed model has a SSIM of 96.43%. To analyse the hardware complexity, Verilog model of the modified sobel edge detection algorithm was developed using Quartus II. The chosen evaluation board is Cylone III FPGA EP3C120F780. The performance metrics such has Logic Elements utilization, Power dissipation and Maximum Operating Frequency were obtained. Open-Source toolchain (Yosys, OpenVPR, and Google Skywater 130nm PDK) was used to obtain the RTL Netlist and Synthesis reports. Verilog Modules for the Camera (CMOS OV7670) interface and FIFO Buffer were synthesized. The modified algorithm was integrated with them. An HSMC (HSMB) breakout board was connected to the FPGA Development board to increase the number of I/O ports. Thus in real time, the proposed modified Sobel Edge detection system can be used as a pre-processor to reduce the amount of computations and power consumption.

Background: Although the criteria for follicular-pattern thyroid tumors are well-established, diagnosing these lesions remains challenging in some cases. In the recent World Health Organization Classification of Endocrine and Neuroendocrine Tumors (5th edition), the invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma was reclassified as its own entity. It is crucial to differentiate this variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma from low-risk follicular pattern tumors due to their shared morphological characteristics. Proteomics holds significant promise for detecting and quantifying protein biomarkers. We investigated the potential value of a protein biomarker panel defined by machine learning for identifying the invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma, initially using formalin- fixed paraffin-embedded samples.Methods: We developed a supervised machine-learning model and tested its performance using proteomics data from 46 thyroid tissue samples.Results: We applied a random forest classifier utilizing five protein biomarkers (ZEB1, NUP98, C2C2L, NPAP1, and KCNJ3). This classifier achieved areas under the curve (AUCs) of 1.00 and accuracy rates of 1.00 in training samples for distinguishing the invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma from non-malignant samples. Additionally, we analyzed the performance of single-protein/gene receiver operating characteristic in differentiating the invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma from others within The Cancer Genome Atlas projects, which yielded an AUC >0.5.Conclusions: We demonstrated that integration of high-throughput proteomics with machine learning can effectively differentiate the invasive encapsulated follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma from other follicular pattern thyroid tumors.
