Mit Volldampf in die Katastrophe – Wenn die Inspektoren ein Auge zudrücken
Authors: Konersmann Rainer
Published: August 2021

Der Beginn der technischen Überwachung von Maschinen und Industrieanlagen begann vor über 150 Jahren. Nach den ersten Dampfmaschinenexplosionen merkte man sehr schnell, dass der Schutz von Menschen, Sachwerten und Umwelt vor schädlichen Auswirkungen der Technik geregelt werden musste. Die Gefahren, die mit der Technik einhergehen können, waren den Beschäftigten mangels Aufklärung und Ausbildung weitgehend unbekannt. Unfälle waren im damaligen Zeitalter fast an der Tagesordnung. Und da es keine 100%ige Sicherheit gibt, müssen wir auch heute noch damit leben, das es hin und wieder zu Unfällen kommt. Aber wir können zumindest verhindern, dass es nicht täglich passiert und die Anzahl der Opfer begrenzt bleibt, durch eine gründliche und wertneutrale Prüfung und Überwachung.

In zunehmendem Maße werden technische Systeme mit Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) entwickelt und betrieben. Auch für die Sicherheitstechnik ist KI ein Innovationstreiber. Das gilt in besonderem Maße für die Video- und die Sensortechnik. Brandmeldesysteme ebenso wie Einbruchschutzsysteme nutzen KI bei der Entwicklung intelligenter Algorithmen vor allem in der Mustererkennung. Eine intelligente Videobildanalyse kann auf KI bei der durch machine learning sich selbst optimierende Mustererkennung nicht verzichten. Bildübersichten werden mit integrierter KI kombiniert, um vorausschauende Lösungen in Anwendungen zur weiträumigen Videoabdeckung zu unterstützen.

The main peculiarities of legal adjusting for the use of evidence by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in administrative proceedings
Authors: FRANCHUK Tetiana
Published: August 2021

The current state of legislative support of administrative proceedings, which is carried out by bodies and officials of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (hereinafter – SBGSU) covers almost all aspects without exception, the effectiveness of implementation of the goal of administrative responsibility – irreproducible bringing the guilty person to it. However, there are also certain objective shortcomings associated with the peculiarities of implementation by the SBGSU of its powers in the field of state border protection, as well as the evolution of social relations and technological development, the rate of which is much higher than the development of legislative support. It is about the organizational and legal support of the process of use of evidence and implementation of the very process of proving in cases of administrative proceedings of the State Tax Service of Ukraine. It is noted that more extensive use will be made of electronic means of obtaining information in the case, fixing offenses, databases with information on the legal basis for a person's stay in Ukraine, as well as electronic evidence and means of proof. This is due to the high level of responsibility of the State Tax Service of Ukraine as a body protecting the state border of Ukraine. At the same time, when completing the protocol on an administrative offence, it is necessary to fully and comprehensively determine what means of evidence have been obtained, what kind of evidence and what it proves. Also, such type of evidence as personal explanations and testimonies of officials of the State Tax Service of Ukraine are widely used, especially if the detention of a person takes place outside of control points and checkpoints. Therefore, such testimonies and evidence require detailing in the protocol on administrative proceedings with an indication of the potential or availability of evidence in support of the facts stated. Accordingly, organizational and legal provision of evidence in the considered type of administrative cases requires systematization, which can be achieved by including norms and provisions that regulate relevant aspects in the activities of the State Border Service of Ukraine in the Instruction on registration by officials of the State Border Service of Ukraine of materials on administrative offences, approved by the Order of the MIA of Ukraine from 18/09/2013 № 898. There were disclosed the essence and special nature of evidence in cases of administrative misconduct. It was investigated the peculiarity of the use of certain types of evidence by the bodies of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in administrative proceedings. There were determined the peculiarities of organizational and legal regulation of certain types of evidence and methods of proof. It was made a conclusion on increasing the efficiency of proving and using evidence by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine in administrative proceedings.

Published: August 2021

Introduction. This paper highlights the main elements of the legal construction of special forfeiture at the present stage of its legal regulation.
The purpose of the paper is the isolation of the main components of the legal structure of special forfeiture, their analysis separately and in conjunction with each other in order to identify inaccurate and conflicting provisions of the Law of Ukraine on Criminal Liability.
Results. The content of each element of the legal construction of special forfeiture is analyzed both separately and in conjunction with other elements. The peculiarities of the actual criminal law content of the special forfeiture have been established. The peculiarities of the procedural basis for the application of special forfeiture are analyzed. The characteristic features of the criminal law conditions for the use of special forfeiture have been established. Some shortcomings of the legislative technique in constructing the provisions of the Law of Ukraine on Criminal Liability concerning the persons to whom provisions on special forfeiture are addressed have been established. The peculiarities of the criminal law basis of special forfeiture and the contradiction of this element of its legal structure with its other elements are characterized, which excludes the use of special forfeiture in some cases by its literal meaning in the form in which it is formulated in the law on criminal liability. The characteristic features of the subject of special forfeiture and the contradiction of this element of its construction with the forfeiture of property as a type of punishment are established. The exclusions from some of the above components of special forfeiture are analyzed. The success of the use of the phrase "bona fide purchaser" in the construction of Article 962 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is analyzed.

Clearly conflicting provisions of the norms of the law of Ukraine on criminal liability concerning the legal construction of special forfeiture are singled out. Relevant conclusions are made.
Risk management related to the use of payment systems
Authors: USYK Vladislavа , VOITKO Serhii
Published: August 2021

Payment system is a complex system of managing funds transfers and settlements between economic entities, which ensures the rational implementation of the basic functions, uninterrupted financing of activities using the latest methods and payment instruments used to reduce cash flow and ensure the effectiveness of monetary, monetary policy countries. In the course of its functioning, the payment system, like any economic system, can be exposed to the risks of its professional activity. Characteristic risks of the payment system are credit risk, liquidity risk, currency risk, operational, legal and systemic. In the event of risks, an effective management system should be implemented, taking into account all possible scenarios of impact, both micro- and macroeconomic factors, which could cause significant losses at all levels of government. An important aspect of a payment system's risk management policy is that it is adequately assessed. The main stages of assessing the level of financial risks generated by the use of payment systems and their impact on the performance indicators are: 1. Systematization and formalization of financial risk factors generated by the use of payment systems. 2. Constructing a multiple multivariate regression equation, realizing the relation between factor (X) and performance (B). 3. The choice of factor traits to include them in the equation of the economic-mathematical model of standardized regression. 4. Economic interpretation of the results of correlation-regression analysis and their use in the decision-making process. Information base for assessing the level of risks generated by the use of payment systems is the NBU's official data on the activity of Ukrainian banks. It should be noted that the most sensitive to the risks generated by the use of payment systems are: liquidity risk; credit risk, currency risk. Thus, in a context of uncertainty and environmental volatility for banking institutions, the strategic aspect should be to focus on securing competitive positions, determining the acceptable level of risk through the use of the latest economic and mathematical modeling tools, extrapolation forecasting, fuzzy set theory, and choice of payment systems with them should be a strategic priority for each organization.
On the issue of joint land ownership in Ukraine
Authors: BRYHINETS Oleksandr
Published: August 2021

Transformation of property relations has determined the need to find modern legal constructions for the settlement of joint ownership of land and property. The article states that the most common practice is the design of adjacent territories only after the preparation of a land management project commissioned by condominiums in the relevant project organization. It is determined that the improvement of ownership mechanisms, especially in the land sphere, has led to the abandonment of collective ownership, which requires further development of modern forms of land ownership, as well as effective regulation of joint ownership of land and property. It is proved that the co-owners of apartment buildings have the right to exercise the relevant rights as well as, in particular, registration of the right to land without the creation of condominiums. Although before the adoption of this law, the registration of land rights took place only through condominiums or other service entities. Registration of land ownership directly by apartment building co-owners may create some difficulties with the registration of all co-owners, as the number and composition of such co-owners may change constantly due to the acquisition and alienation of apartments in apartment buildings. The peculiarity of the right of joint ownership is that all third parties, despite the plurality of co-owners, must deal not with a set of separate wills or expressions of will of each co-owner, but with a single, joint expression of will of several entities. The necessity of further theoretical substantiation and normative consolidation of the right of apartment building co-owners to directly acquire and exercise the right of joint ownership of the adjacent territory and the possibility of exercising the relevant right indirectly through the condominiums created by them.

Authors: SAMOILOV Vadym
Published: August 2021

Introduction. This paper analyzes the development of norms on the implementation of special forfeiture in Ukraine since its independence.
The purpose of the paper is determining the main periods of development of legal regulation of special forfeiture in Ukraine and highlighting the main features of each period.
Results. According to the criterion of development of features of structural placement of norms on special forfeiture in the Criminal Code of Ukraine, three main periods of regulation of the specified measure of criminal character are allocated. The main features of the first period of regulation of special forfeiture, which is the regulation of the implementation of the specified measure of criminal nature at the level of norms of the Special Parts of the Criminal Codes of Ukraine of 1960 and 2001, are characterized. The main problems concerning the law enforcement of the rules on special forfeiture, which arose in connection with the legislative approach to special forfeiture at this stage, are described. The peculiarities of the second period of development of regulation of special forfeiture are described, during which the latter was carried out at the level of both the General Part of the Criminal Code and its Special Part. The conflicts between the provisions of the General and Special Parts of the Criminal Code regarding special forfeiture that arose at this stage are described, as well as some inconsistent legislative steps to amend the provisions of the law on criminal liability relating to special forfeiture. The main features of the current stage of legal regulation of special forfeiture are described. The problems of making changes to the legislation related to the adoption of laws that do not take into account the peculiarities of the development of legal regulation of special forfeiture are described.
Conclusion. Relevant conclusions have been made, in particular, that special forfeiture, contrary to stereotypical views, is not a fundamentally new (implemented over the last decade) measure of a criminal nature in the criminal law of Ukraine. The stages of development of norms on special forfeiture are singled out. The chronological boundaries of each of the stages are set.

Published: August 2021

Amaç: Preeklampsi, gebeliğin 20. haftasından sonra saptanan; yeni başlangıçlı hipertansiyon ve organ disfonksiyonu ile karakterize, progresif, multisistemik bir hastalık olarak tanımlanmaktadr. Hafif ve şiddetli olmak üzere iki grupta değerlendirilebilen preeklapmsi özellikle şiddetli formunda ciddi maternal, fetal, neonatal morbidite ve mortalite ile ilişkli olabilmektedir. Bununla birlikte preeklampsi etyolojisi ve prediktör faktörleri hala tam olarak aydınlatılabilmiş değildir. Biz çalışmamızda tam kan sayımı parametrelerinin preeklampsi tanısı ve şiddetini belirlemedeki önemini tespit etmeyi amaçladık.

Araçlar ve Yöntemler: Çalışmaya 20 preeklamptik gebe ve 30 preeklampsinin eşlik etmediği sağlıklı gebe dahil edildi. Maternal ve fetal veriler ile birlikte doğum öncesi gebelerden rutin alınan tam kan sayımı parametreleri gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı. Bu parametreler hemoglobin, trombosit sayısı, ortalama trombosit hacmi, lökosit-lenfosit sayısı ve trombosit /MPV, nötrofil/lenfosit trombosit/lenfosit, trombosit /nötrofil oranlarını kapsamaktadır.

Bulgular: Çalışmamızda değerlendirilen kadınların ortalama yaşları preeklampsi grubunda 30 (±13,5) kontrol grubunda 27(±11) idi. Kan sayımı parametreleri incelendiğinde; preeklampsi grubunda kontrol grubundan daha yüksek hemoglobin düzeyi tespit edilir iken; şiddetli preeklampsi grubunda ortalama trombosit hacminin hafif preklampsi grubu ve kontrol grubundan anlamlı olarak daha yüksek olduğu saptandı.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda şiddetli preklampsinin eşlik ettiği gebelerde ortalama trombosit hacminin daha yüksek olduğu saptandı. Bununla birlikte, inflamatuar markır olarak kabul edilebilen nötrofil/lenfosit, trombosit/lenfosit oranlarının gruplar arasında fark göstermediği bulundu.
THE UTILITY OF PULSATILITY INDEX AND DIASTOLIC NOTCH PRESENCE IN UTERINE ARTERY DOPPLER ULTRASOUND BETWEEN 18-24 WEEKS FOR PREEKLAMPSIA PREDICTION’
Authors: GÖNCÜ AYHAN Şule , ARISOY Resul , MİHMANLI Veli
Published: August 2021

Aim: To determine second-trimester uterine artery pulsatility index (UA-PI) values and diastolic notch (DN) presences in primigravid, low-risk pregnant women for preeclampsia (PE) prediction.

Matherials and Methods: We studied prospectively primigravid, pregnant women between 18 and 24 weeks of gestation who were admitted for routine prenatal care. An ultrasound examination that included measurements of the UA-PI and DN presence was performed and pregnancy outcomes were evaluated.

Results: In total 244 primigravid pregnant women were included this study, and 15 (6,1 %) developed PE. When Preeclampsia positive (PEP) group and the preeclampsia negative (PEN) group compared, there was no difference in demographic data. PEP group mean UA-PI value was significantly higher (p< 0,01) when mean time of the delivery week (p< 0,01) and fetal birth weight (p< 0,01) were significantly lower than PEN group.

DN was negative (NN) in 163 (66,8 %) pregnant women, and found positive (NP) in 81 (33,2%) pregnant women. NP group had higher PE rates compared to NN group. Bilateral notch positivity increases both PE and early PE rates compared to notch negativity and unilateral notch positivity. The most sensitive and specific value of UA-PI for PE prediction was found 1,13.

Conclusion: Uterine artery Doppler is a non-invasive and simple tool to identify high-risk pregnancies and may improve patient-specific practice. Especially pregnant women with a bilateral uterine notch accompanying with abnormal UA-PI values resulted a higher prevalence to develop these severe adverse outcomes. Closer monitoring may help to reduce both maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality in high-risk groups.

Illuminating Black Hole Subsystems in Young Star Clusters
Authors: Kaaz Nicholas , Kremer Kyle , Auchettl Katie , Ramirez-Ruiz Enrico
Published: August 2021

There is increasing evidence that globular clusters retain sizeable black hole populations at present day. This is supported by dynamical simulations of cluster evolution, which have unveiled the spatial distribution and mass spectrum of black holes in clusters across cosmic age. However, black hole populations of young, high metallicity clusters remain unconstrained. Black holes hosted by these clusters mass segregate early in their evolutionary history, forming central subsystems of hundreds to thousands of black holes. We argue that after supernova feedback has subsided (≳50 Myr), the host cluster can accumulate gas from its dense surroundings, from which the black hole subsystem accretes at highly enhanced rates. The collective accretion luminosity can be substantial and provides a novel observational constraint for young massive clusters. We test this hypothesis by performing 3D hydrodynamic simulations where we embed discretized potentials, representing our black holes, within the potential of a massive cluster. This system moves supersonically with respect to a gaseous medium from which it accretes. We study the accretion of this black hole subsystem for different subsystem populations and determine the integrated accretion luminosity of the black hole subsystem. We apply our results to the young massive clusters of the Antennae Galaxies and find that a typical subsystem accretion luminosity should be in excess of ≈ 1040 erg s−1. We argue that no strong candidates of this luminous signal have been observed and constrain the subsystem population of a typical cluster in the Antennae Galaxies to ≲ 10–2 × 102 10 M
⊙ black holes, given that feedback does not significantly impede accretion and that the gas remains optically thin.
Supermassive Star Formation in Magnetized Atomic-cooling Gas Clouds: Enhanced Accretion, Intermittent Fragmentation, and Continuous Mergers
Authors: Hirano Shingo , Machida Masahiro N. , Basu Shantanu
Published: August 2021

The origin of supermassive black holes (with ≳109
M
⊙) in the early universe (redshift z ∼ 7) remains poorly understood. Gravitational collapse of a massive primordial gas cloud is a promising initial process, but theoretical studies have difficulty growing the black hole fast enough. We focus on the magnetic effects on star formation that occurs in an atomic-cooling gas cloud. Using a set of three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations, we investigate the star formation process in the magnetized atomic-cooling gas cloud with different initial magnetic field strengths. Our simulations show that the primordial magnetic seed field can be quickly amplified during the early accretion phase after the first protostar formation. The strong magnetic field efficiently extracts angular momentum from accreting gas and increases the accretion rate, which results in the high fragmentation rate in the gravitationally unstable disk region. On the other hand, the coalescence rate of fragments is also enhanced by the angular momentum transfer due to the magnetic effects. Almost all the fragments coalesce to the primary star, so the mass growth rate of the massive star increases due to the magnetic effects. We conclude that the magnetic effects support the direct collapse scenario of supermassive star formation.
Thermophysical Investigation of Asteroid Surfaces. I. Characterization of Thermal Inertia
Authors: MacLennan Eric M. , Emery Joshua P.
Published: August 2021

The thermal inertia of an asteroid is an indicator of the thermophysical properties of the regolith and is determined by the size of grains on the surface. Previous thermophysical modeling studies of asteroids have identified or suggested that object size, rotation period, and heliocentric distance (a proxy for temperature) are important factors that separately influence thermal inertia. In this work we present new thermal inertia values for 239 asteroids and model all three factors in a multivariate model of thermal inertia. Using multiepoch infrared data of this large set of objects observed by WISE, we derive the size, albedo, thermal inertia, surface roughness, and sense of spin using a thermophysical modeling approach that does not require a priori knowledge of an object’s shape or spin axis direction. Our thermal inertia results are consistent with previous values from the literature for similarly sized asteroids, and we identify an excess of retrograde rotators among main-belt asteroids <8 km. We then combine our results with thermal inertias of 220 objects from the literature to construct a multivariate model and quantify the dependency on asteroid diameter, rotation period, and surface temperature. This multivariate model, which accounts for codependencies between the three independent variables, identifies asteroid diameter and surface temperature as strong controls on thermal inertia.

Angola is a country in south-central Africa, particularly rich in biodiversity. Despite the efforts recently made to document its biodiversity, there is a need for standardized sampling methods to document and compare the variety of ecosystems and plants occurring in the country. With this database report we aim to document the abundance and diversity of woody species in the woodlands of Huíla province. The database hosts the results of a standardised plot-based vegetation survey, consisting of 448 vegetation plots distributed throughout the 14 municipalities and Bicuar National Park. In total, 40,009 individuals belonging to 44 plant families were recorded and measured, belonging to 193 woody species. Species richness per municipality ranged from 32 to 126. The mean stem diameter (DBH) was 10.9 cm ± 7.5 cm. Small-size classes are increasingly dominated by few species, while the largest trees come from a wider range of species; miombo key-species dominated almost all size classes. Our study represents the first plot-based vegetation survey of any Angolan province and constitutes a useful source of information for conservation and management. Additionally, may constitute a powerful dataset to support future studies on biodiversity patterns and vegetation change over time and facilitate the elaboration of vegetation maps.

Valeurs coopératives et nouvelles pratiques de gestion
Authors: Ghares Mariem , Lamarque Éric
Published: August 2021

Résumé Ce chapitre vise à évaluer les liens existant entre les « valeurs » d’une organisation et sa gouvernance. Mais surtout nous avons observé à quel niveau ces valeurs interviennent dans les processus de décision et dans quelle mesure la gouvernance est garante de leur respect. Nos analyses confirment le fait que les valeurs sont effectivement intégrées dans le processus décisionnel selon différentes logiques, et, parfois, au moyen de structures dédiées permettant ainsi de soutenir les bonnes pratiques et faisant des valeurs un facteur clé de succès. Depuis la crise financière de 2008, les banques sont interpellées sur leurs comportements ce qui les amènent à revoir leurs modes de gouvernance, sous l’effet de la réglementation, dans une perspective du renforcement de l’éthique. Dans ce contexte nous montrons en quoi, le modèle des banques coopératives est en mesure d’utiliser son mode de gouvernance pour faire valoir ses valeurs spécifiques et lui offrir ainsi l’occasion de se différencier.
Valeurs coopératives et nouvelles pratiques de gestion
Authors: Le Floch Paul
Published: August 2021

Résumé L’article a pour objet de confronter la réalité organisationnelle des sociétés coopératives de commerçants détaillants aux règles et valeurs générales de la coopération. L’étude est conduite sous le double regard du lien qui unit le coopérateur à son groupement, à la fois en tant qu’associé et en tant que client. Elle met, d’abord, en relief le fait que l’accès à la qualité d’associé, comme la perte de cette qualité sont, en pratique, rigoureusement aménagés et, à ce titre, totalement étrangers au principe dit de « porte ouverte ». À l’inverse, l’organisation, ainsi que l’exercice du pouvoir reflètent, le plus souvent, une exigence démocratique forte. L’étude démontre, ensuite, que dans l’ordre de leurs relations commerciales, les coopératives de détaillants, fidèles aux valeurs traditionnelles de la coopérative, concentrent leurs activités sur les services de leurs membres. Elles font, en revanche, un large usage de la flexibilité que confèrent les textes, tant dans le choix de leurs méthodes commerciales que dans la gestion de leurs excédents financiers.
Contribution méthodologique à l’étude de l’ordre des mots : jugements d’acceptabilité et complétion de phrases
Authors: Faghiri Pegah , Thuilier Juliette
Published: August 2021

Le questionnaire de jugement d’acceptabilité est un outil très accessible pour étudier divers phénomènes syntaxiques mais pas aussi performant que les expériences de production lorsqu’il s’agit d’étudier la variation syntaxique. Nous présentons un paradigme de production comprenant une tâche de complétion de phrases qui prend la forme de questionnaires auto-administrés. Pour mettre en évidence les avantages de ce paradigme par rapport aux questionnaires d’acceptabilité, nous comparons les résultats obtenus par le biais de ces deux protocoles, en utilisant les mêmes stimuli , pour l’étude de l’ordre relatif entre les compléments en français et en persan. Nos résultats montrent que les données de jugements ne reflètent pas toute la variation observée dans les données de production, ce qui rend difficile l’étude des facteurs avec un effet de petite taille ou l’identification d’un ordre canonique.
Forces et faiblesses des contraintes de liage : une comparaison expérimentale multilingue des possessifs réfléchis et des possessifs emphatiques
Authors: Lesage Suzanne , Bonami Olivier
Published: August 2021

Les possessifs emphatiques de l’anglais et du français et les possessifs réfléchis de l’estonien partagent une caractéristique : ils favorisent un antécédent local. Cependant, les raisons de cette préférence locale sont très différentes : pour le réfléchi, il s’agit d’une contrainte syntaxique – être lié par un sujet structuralement proche –, tandis que, dans le cas des emphatiques, c’est un effet indirect de leurs propriétés interprétatives qui les conduit à préférer un antécédent saillant, qui est le plus souvent local. Pour comparer le comportement de ces deux types de formes, nous avons monté des expériences parallèles dans les trois langues. Ces expériences révèlent des ressemblances et des différences entre possessifs réfléchis et emphatiques : la tendance générale est la même mais les réfléchis sont en partie soumis à des contraintes catégoriques, alors que les effets sont toujours graduels pour les emphatiques.
Une approche géographique des transitions énergétiques en Amérique latine
Authors: Velut Sébastien
Published: August 2021

La notion de transition énergétique est mobilisée pour décrire les évolutions des systèmes énergétiques sans toujours prendre en compte leur dimension territoriale. C’est ce que propose cet article en prenant l’Amérique latine comme cas d’étude. Dans un premier temps il insiste sur le poids des héritages qui ont façonné les systèmes énergétiques du continent au xx e  siècle en lien avec l’affirmation des États et des compagnies publiques pour fournir une couverture large de services énergétiques. Dans un second temps, l’article analyse les projets pouvant contribuer à une transition énergétique et à une réduction des émissions de GES. Il montre qu’en dépit de ressources abondantes pour les énergies renouvelables et de programmes pionniers, la transition reste encore limitée. Enfin, les conditions d’une transition énergétique adaptée au contexte latino-américain sont présentées

À travers une enquête par questionnaire auprès de 99 étudiants et 16 entretiens auprès de répondants du questionnaire volontaires pour les entretiens, cette recherche montre que les corona-exodants sont mus par la volonté de se confiner dans un logement qui leur permette de mieux supporter cette situation inédite mais aussi à cause de l’incertitude sur la fin de la pandémie. Aussi, le travail montre que les aménagements du logement ont permis de répondre à ces nouvelles fonctions mais également d’éviter les conflits d’usage. Par ailleurs, l’espace extérieur est perçu à la fois comme espace de liberté mais aussi comme porteur d’infection. Les espaces de proximité sont pour tous utilisés pour aller marcher, courir, faire du vélo, bronzer et pour les étudiants restés en résidence pour rencontrer et discuter avec des amis. Le confinement a rendu les enquêtés sensibles au rythme de la nature.
De quel savoir sur l’écriture la biofiction est-elle le lieu ? Sur Le Maître de Pétersbourg de J. M. Coetzee
Authors: Dion Robert
Published: August 2021

Dans Le Maître de Pétersbourg , une « fantaisie poétique » (J. Frank) qui a pour modèle Fiodor Dostoïevski, J. M. Coetzee fictionnalise la personne réelle d’un écrivain de premier plan, dont la vie et l’œuvre sont scrutées par une foule de commentateurs. En faisant fi de ce qu’on sait de l’auteur des Possédés , Coetzee semble vouloir s’attacher à un autre type de savoir. Le présent article cherche à déterminer quel est ce savoir propre à la fiction et en quoi il concerne l’écriture, l’acte même de création.
Comment réguler l’incertain ? Le recours aux instruments face à l’incertitude du jugement : le cas des arrêts de travail
Authors: Lecomte-Ménahès Gabrielle , Muñoz Jorge
Published: August 2021

L’Assurance maladie à l’instar d’autres services publics a développé une série de dispositifs pour maîtriser les dépenses de santé en général et la prescription d’arrêts de travail en particulier. À partir d’une enquête sociologique menée pour le compte d’une Caisse primaire d’assurance maladie, nous revenons sur ces enjeux de régulation des pratiques médicales par l’institution. Si celle-ci cherche à normaliser la prescription aux moyens d’instruments tant coercitifs qu’incitatifs, ceux-ci trouvent leurs limites face aux situations incertaines (difficultés de diagnostic, de traitement et de suivi médical). Dans l’application de ces règles floues, les médecins recourent alors à leur pouvoir discrétionnaire. Ces décisions s’inscrivent dans un travail collectif de prise en charge des patients structuré par des relations hiérarchiques entre les différentes spécialités médicales.
La discrimination liée à l’origine, sur le marché du logement à Paris

Nous mesurons les discriminations liées à l’origine dans l’accès au logement du parc locatif privé parisien à l’aide d’un protocole expérimental qui nous permet d’identifier très facilement les causes des discriminations (préférences des loueurs ou imperfection de l’information). De début avril à fin mai 2016, quatre messages ont sollicité la visite d’un logement en réponse à 504 annonces immobilières, soit 2 016 messages. Les patronymes renseignent sur l’origine, française pour deux candidats, maghrébine pour les deux autres. Au sein de chaque paire de candidats de même origine, un individu envoie un signal de stabilité financière et professionnelle en indiquant qu’il est fonctionnaire. L’autre, en revanche, ne fournit aucune information sur sa situation. L’étude consiste à exploiter statistiquement les réponses à ces messages. Nous montrons que les discriminations à l’encontre des individus d’origine maghrébine sont très fortes dans l’accès au logement parisien et qu’elles sont peu liées à la fragilité financière supposée. L’individu de référence a un taux de réponse de 18,7 % à ses demandes de visites de logement. Pour l’individu d’origine maghrébine, ce taux est de 12,9 %, soit un tiers de chances en moins de recevoir une issue favorable à sa demande de visite. Si le candidat d’origine maghrébine précise qu’il est fonctionnaire, son taux de réponse est de 15,5 % ce qui reste inférieur à celui du candidat de référence. Mais si c’est ce dernier qui envoie le même signal de stabilité, son taux de réponse atteint 42,9 %. Un signal de stabilité professionnelle et financière n’augmente fortement les chances d’accès au logement que pour les candidats d’origine française, ce qui suggère une forte discrimination à la Becker à l’encontre des candidats d’origine maghrébine. Ce résultat est vérifié, que l’annonce émane d’un particulier ou d’une agence immobilière non franchisée et non membre d’un réseau.
Rutin and quercetin in common and Tartary buckwheat flour and dough
Authors: Vombergar Blanka
Published: August 2021

The concentration of flavonoids rutin and quercetin in flours of common and Tartary buckwheat was investigated. In Tartary buckwheat, concentration of rutin is much higher compared to common buckwheat. In Tartary buckwheat it was measured 1.17 to 1.75% rutin in dry matter, while in common buckwheat it was only 0.003%. After direct contact of buckwheat flour with water, different biochemical activities in Tartary buckwheat developed with rutin. After the time (5 minutes or two hours), the concentration of rutin is in the flour-water mixtures much lowered, and quercetin appeared. However, after quick initial changes, some rutin remained in flour-water mixtures even after 24 hours. In any way, after 24 hours of direct contact of flour particles with water, the concentration of quercetin is higher than that of rutin. It is established that the concentration of rutin in flour-water mixtures is the result of two processes. One is the release of rutin from grain structures and its dissolving in water, and the second is the release of rutin degrading enzymes from grain structures and their activity in solution.

Strength training exercises are essential for rehabilitation, improving our health as well as in sports. For optimal and safe training, educators and trainers in the industry should comprehend exercise form or technique. Currently, there is a lack of tools measuring in-depth skills of strength training experts. In this study, we investigate how data mining methods can be used to identify novel and useful skill patterns from a binary multiple choice questionnaire test designed to measure the knowledge level of strength training experts. A skill test assessing exercise technique expertise and comprehension was answered by 507 fitness professionals with varying backgrounds. A triangulated approach of clustering and non-negative matrix factorization (NMF) was used to discover skill patterns among participants and patterns in test questions. Four distinct participant subgroups were identified in data with clustering and further question patterns with NMF. The results can be used to, for example, identify missing skills and knowledge in participants and subgroups of participants and form general and personalized or background specific guidelines for future education. In addition, the test can be optimized based on, for example, if some questions can be answered correct even without the required skill or if they seem to be measuring overlapping skills. Finally, this approach can be utilized with other multiple choice test data in future educational research.

Authors: Jain Anil , Rajan Suresh Kumar , Patel Kartik , Garg Pankaj , Agrawal Vishal , Kakkar Deepti , Gajjar Trushar , Mishra Amit , Patel Sanjay , Doshi Chirag
Published: August 2021

Objectives :

Adult patients undergoing tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) repair have a higher risk of mortality compared to pediatric patients. Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) further predisposes these patients to heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden death. Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) may improve the symptoms in these patients but, fails to reverse the other deleterious effects. Aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of concomitant PVR with TOF repair on right ventricular (RV) parameters, cardiopulmonary exercise capacity, and bioprosthetic valve durability at mid-term.

Materials and Methods:

Between January 2013 and August 2018, 37 adolescents and adults with TOF who had hypoplastic pulmonary annulus underwent concomitant TOF repair with PVR at our institute. We retrospectively collected the data from the hospital records including follow-up.

Results :

Mean age of the patients was 18.48 ± 7.53 years. Bioprosthetic valve size ranged from 19 mm to 25 mm. There was no early or late mortality. No patient had developed significant perioperative complications. At a mean follow-up of 53.3 ± 16.4 months, there was no significant change in mean QRS duration, RV function, RV end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions, RV myocardial performance index, and functional status (including NYHA class and 6-min walk test) compared to at-discharge values. Four patients developed prosthetic valve degeneration with mild PR and without significant increase in gradient.

Conclusion :

Concomitant PVR with TOF repair in adult provides excellent mid-term outcome, with a minimal rate of pulmonary valve degeneration. It not only eases the early postoperative course but also preserves the RV function as well as functional status at mid-term.

Published: August 2021

Background & objectives:

During any public health emergency, a need-based national non-communicable diseases (NCD) preparedness plan is essential. People living with NCDs could face challenges owing to restricted mobility, low access to medical care and suboptimal logistics during the pandemic. The present study explored the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on NCD care in a district of Odisha State of India.

Methods:

This study was carried out during May-June 2020 in the Khurda district of Odisha. A community-based explanatory mixed-method study was followed. Data collection comprised 12 in-depth interviews and 491 structured interviews using Likert-questionnaire with individuals having at least one NCD. Mantel-Haenszel's Chi-square test was used to assess the difference in the effect of COVID-19 on the routine NCD care. Qualitative data were analyzed by content analysis.

Results:

Findings revealed that nearly two-thirds of participants encountered challenges in their routine investigation (69%), day-care procedures (67%) and reaching hospital (61%). Around half of them reported having trouble in doctor appointments (59%), emergency treatment (56%), access to the pharmacy (47%) and delay in healthcare (46%). Thirty seven per cent perceived that they could not access care because of social restriction/lockdown, 29 per cent attributed arranging finance as a constraint to visiting hospitals and 16 per cent avoided going to the hospital, fearing COVID-19 infection.

Interpretation & conclusions:

Our findings showed that people with chronic NCDs faced multiple challenges in accessing health care during the pandemic. A cohesive doctor-pharmacy-patient engagement is vital for managing NCD care during a pandemic. During emergencies, changes in dispensing practices and service provision closer to the patients are crucial. Additionally, health literacy and home-based NCD management should be encouraged.
