Les amis à table : scènes de repas dans quelques romans du XVIIe siècle
Authors: Sribnai Judith
Published: August 2022

Nous nous intéressons ici aux scènes de repas entre amis qui apparaissent dans quelques romans comiques du XVIIe siècle. En exploitant les motifs propres au topos du banquet, les auteurs de notre corpus (Furetière, Dassoucy, Scarron et Cyrano) regrettent ou exaltent des valeurs qui lui sont traditionnellement attachées. Dans l’échange du boire et du manger se trouve ainsi figurés et éprouvés la relation qui se noue entre amitié et vie collective; les conditions de l’acception et de l’adhésion aux règles; enfin, le sens d’un compagnonnage de plaisir qui est aussi un accompagnement dans la mort.
Amitié et anamorphose chez Montaigne et Holbein
Authors: Frelick Nancy
Published: August 2022

Composés sous les doubles signes de l’amour et de la mort, de l’anamorphose et de l’aporie, Les Essais de Michel de Montaigne et Les Ambassadeurs de Hans Holbein sont des monuments renaissants à l’amitié.  Montaigne voue son texte protéen au souvenir d’Etienne de La Boétie, l’ami absent autour duquel se construisent les « grotesques » de ses essais, tandis que Holbein mémorialise la rencontre des ambassadeurs et amis Jean de Dinteville (bailli de Troyes) et George de Selve (évêque de Lavaur) en Angleterre en 1533, autour du fameux memento mori anamorphotique du crâne au premier plan.  Si le tableau et le texte figurent le double postulat de la vie et de la mort, de l’absence et de la présence, du passage du temps et de valeurs sempiternelles, ils partagent aussi une esthétique du retour, du détournement, propre à la perspective curieuse ou oblique, qui ne cesse de remettre en cause l’univocité du signe.  Il s’agit donc, dans cet article, d’interroger les convergences et divergences de procédés et de points de vue impliquant la participation de l’ami lecteur, qui est interpellé par les signes troubles de ces oeuvres mouvantes.
Two paradigms of crisis processes in the world economy in the XXI century
Authors: Bekulova Suzanna Robertinovna
Published: August 2022

Currently, crisis processes are observed in the world and national economies, which have a negative impact on the level of their socio-economic development. In the context of the development of crisis processes in the world economy, research aimed at solving the fundamental problem of determining their causes is relevant. The purpose of this work is to identify theoretical approaches to explaining the nature of the current crisis processes in the world economy. The object of the study is the dynamics of the development of the world economy. The subject of the study is the paradigms of crisis processes in the world economy. The methodological basis of this study is the fundamentals of system, statistical, comparative analysis and synthesis methods. As a result of the review, it was determined that two paradigms of explaining crisis processes have developed in the economic literature. The reason for the divergence of views of macroeconomists of the two paradigms is shown. An attempt is made to consider the current crisis as a result of the influence of structural and market factors. The importance of solving the problem of finding the nature of the generation of crisis processes is demonstrated by the example of the difference in the ways of their resolution depending on the cause of occurrence. It was revealed that signs of economic decline were observed in the leading national economies in the "pre-pandemic" period, and the negative economic consequences of the spread of coronavirus infection only intensified the negative dynamics of the development of national economies.
Simulation and detection of the topological properties of phonon-photon in frequency-tunable optomechanical lattice
Authors: Liu Lang , Wang Yi-Ping ,   College of Science, Northwest A&F University, Yangling 712100, China
Published: August 2022

We propose a one-dimensional lattice theory scheme based on a coupled optomechanical system consisting of multiple cavity field modes and mechanical modes, where their frequencies can be tuned. In this system, by manipulating parameters to obtain collective dynamical evolution of the system, we study topological properties and topological quantum channels in the system. Firstly, the topological insulator properties and topological quantum channels of the system are studied by modulating the periodic coupling parameters of the system and analyzing the characteristics of the energy spectrum and edge states of the system. It is found that edge state distributions can exhibit flipping processes, which can be applied to quantum information processing. Secondly, based on the scattering theory of topological insulators and the relationship between input and output, the variation characteristics of the steady-state average photon number of the cavity field and the winding number of the reflection coefficient phase are analyzed. It is found that the dissipation of the cavity field has a certain influence on the locality of the distribution of the average photon number in the lattice, and it also indirectly explains the locality of the edge states of the system, and the topological invariants are detected by the winding number. In addition, considering the effect of disordered defects on topological properties, we further analyze their effects on the energy spectrum of the system, the winding number of the reflection coefficient phase and the average photon number of the cavity field. It is found that two defects in the system cause different physical effects, and when their values are small, the edge states of the system are robust to it, which also shows that the system has the characteristics of topological protection. However, when disorder and perturbation are larger than the energy gap, the topological properties of the system will be annihilated, so that the edge states will be indistinguishable, and the topological invariants will change at the same time. The research results of this system can be generalized to other types of models and can be applied to quantum communication and quantum information processing, which will have certain constructive suggestions for the development of future quantum technology.

The rescattering scenario that the ionized photoelectron is guided back to the vicinity of the atomic core under an oscillating laser field is the key to understanding strong field processes. Strong field photoelectron holography, which stems from the interference of direct and rescattering waves, has great potential applications in studying strong field physics and detecting ultrafast electron dynamics. The article develops the underlying quantum orbits interference picture. By including Coulomb potential, the uniform glory rescattering theory is introduced, which gives reasonably quantitative results in accord with time-dependent Schrödinger equation and experimental results. And reconstructing the ultrashort light pulses in the time domain with the Coulomb glory temporal gate is also studied. Deepening the understanding of strong field photoelectron holography will lead to further enlightening in ultrafast physics and contribute to future applications.

Laughing along?
Authors: Marra Meredith
Published: August 2022

Successfully joining a new workplace community is demanding, especially when this involves crossing national boundaries in addition to team boundaries. For outsiders, humour is an area that arguably presents a challenge to full participation, particularly when local understandings are not shared, nor even recognized as distinctive. Newcomers face the challenge of navigating the trajectory from legitimate peripheral member towards core status (adopting the terms of the Community of Practice model). This involves cooperating with others in interaction, including engaging with humour and laughter as a way of indicating belonging. Here belonging is operationalized using the two dimensions proposed by Antonsich (2010), namely (1) a sense of belonging and (2) the politics of belonging as evidenced through negotiation with others. Applying an Interactional Sociolinguistic approach, I offer analysis of naturally occurring workplace interactions and reflections from skilled migrant interns in New Zealand workplaces. I discuss the place of laughter in attempts to demonstrate team membership, arguing that these attempts at belonging require the cooperation and endorsement of insiders. The findings indicate that, however benevolently intentioned, the local colleagues’ use of humour, and their reactions to the humour and laughter produced by the skilled migrant interns, often results in a sense of othering and exclusion. This is keenly felt by the interns who note the difficulties that taken for granted practices create in their acceptance and progress. In many cases the result is laughing along, as an outward signal of fit, rather than laughing with which suggests a deeper sense of belonging.
GCN-based stock relations analysis for stock market prediction
Authors: Zhao Cheng , Liu Xiaohui , Zhou Jie , Cen Yuefeng , Yao Xiaomin
Published: August 2022

Most stock price predictive models merely rely on the target stock’s historical information to forecast future prices, where the linkage effects between stocks are neglected. However, a group of prior studies has shown that the leverage of correlations between stocks could significantly improve the predictions. This article proposes a unified time-series relational multi-factor model (TRMF), which composes a self-generating relations (SGR) algorithm that can extract relational features automatically. In addition, the TRMF model integrates stock relations with other multiple dimensional features for the price prediction compared to extant works. Experimental validations are performed on the NYSE and NASDAQ data, where the model is compared with the popular methods such as attention Long Short-Term Memory network (Attn-LSTM), Support Vector Regression (SVR), and multi-factor framework (MF). Results show that compared with these extant methods, our model has a higher expected cumulative return rate and a lower risk of return volatility.

Authors: Selvaraj Sutha , Sundaram Jamuna Meenakshi
Published: August 2022

Introduction: The shape of the menisci is crescentic. There are variations in the morphology of the menisci. The knowledge about these variants is necessary for the radiologists and orthopaedic surgeons to discriminate between the normal variants and meniscal injuries. Aim: To analyse the morphology of menisci in foetuses in the South Indian Population. Materials and Methods: An observational study was conducted on 30 knee joints of 15 foetuses of age between 20-37 weeks of gestation. The study was conducted between May 2015 to May 2017. The foetuses were fixed with formalin and dissected. The morphology of the menisci was noted macroscopically and tabulated. Results: In the present study, among the 15 foetuses with 30 knee joints, the most common shape was crescent. Among the 30 medial menisci and 30 lateral menisci, there were 33 crescentic-shaped (55%), 7 sickle-shaped (11.7%), 6 C-shaped (10%), five U-shaped (8.4%), 1 V-shaped (1.7%), and 1 ring-shaped menisci (1.7%). Out of 30 medial menisci there was only one incomplete discoid meniscus. Among the 30 lateral menisci there were three complete and three incomplete discoid menisci. In this study, the discoid menisci were observed mostly commonly in the lateral menisci. A rare variant, ring- shaped meniscus was present in one medial meniscus (1.7%). Conclusion: Morphological variants of the menisci are often misinterpreted as tear. The knowledge about the morphology is especially important for the radiologist and orthopaedician to differentiate the tear and the variants in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Teaching anatomy in medical colleges has been conventionally based on use of human cadaveric specimens, either whole body specimens for dissection or individual specimens. Cadavers are to be held in high esteem and regarded as the first teacher of a medical student as cadaveric dissection allows students to grasp the three dimensional anatomy and skill development. Aim: To know the physical and psychological effects experienced by students while doing cadaveric dissection and also to know the attitude of the medical students towards dissection in learning anatomy. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among the 181 first year medical students in a Government Medical College, Andhra Pradesh, India, during the month of May 2021. The study was undertaken after two months of cadaveric dissection classes and the responses were the cumulative subjective effect of all the classes. Data was collected using a predesigned, prestructured and pretested questionnaire, entered in MS Excel and descriptive statistics like simple frequencies, percentages were used. Chi-square test was used to statistically analyse the data. Results: Total 181 students participated in this study (out of 250 first year medical students). Nearly, 88% of the students were older than 18 years of age. Nearly, 2/3rd of the students were females (65.7%). Out of 181 participants, 152 (84%) experienced psychological symptoms while doing dissection. Out of 152 students, who experienced psychological symptoms, 40.8% experienced excitement followed by anxiety 22.4%, fear 17.8% stress 16.4%. Among those who experienced excitement nearly 70% were females. Sweating was the most common physical symptom experienced by the participants. Among the study participants 98.3% students had sense of gratitude to people who donated their body and 96.1% had sympathy and respect for the cadaver. A 20.4% want to donate body for dissection. While assessing the attitude, 97.2% students agreed that cadaveric dissection is important in the curriculum, 97% agreed that dissection is required for understanding the structure of human body. Conclusion: Student-cadaver encounter is of paramount importance in medical education. Computer assisted and multimedia methods should be complementary but not a substitute to dissection. Introducing cadaver oath has resulted in students reflecting about organ donation and body donation, showing respect to the dead body.

Authors: Santos Samara Ferreira , Silva Marcelo Santos , Yamane Tetsuo , Da Mota Adolfo José
Published: August 2022

Aims: Phosphorus (P) is an essential element for life, finite and irreplaceable. Its constant exploration on a global scale has motivated frequent alerts regarding an eventual crisis due to the shortage of this nutrient. However, it is possible to recycle it and reintroduce it into the ecological cycle. One viable alternative is the microbial recovery of phosphate.

Study design: This study is based on systematic bioprospection of bacteria in phosphate-deficient Amazon regions.

Place and Duration of Study: Bacteria were isolated from black water samples, collected in the Rio Pretinho, located at Serra do Aracá, Barcelos, Amazonas, Brazil, from January to July 2019.

Methodology: Microbial isolation was performed in Luria Bertani agar medium. For the genomic study, the isolate with the best performance in the phosphate uptake test was chosen. The WGS was carried out in a Illumina HiSeq 2500 System. The assembly of the draft genome was carried out with the SPAdes and the annotation by the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation Pipeline (PGAP).

Results: Serratia nevei 9rpt1 recovers 90% of the phosphate available in the culture medium. Its draft genome comprises 5.4 MB, the GC content is 59.52% and 4,922 coding sequences were identified, among these, two pst operons: one complete, containing the five pst genes and one missing pstS, pstC and phoU genes.

Conclusion: Serratia nevei 9rpt1, isolated from an Amazonian environment poor in phosphate, is very efficient to uptake this nutrient in a Pi starvation condition. The genomic findings revealed this strain has an additional high affinity Pi uptake pst system containing the ATP-binding protein PstB, the canonical permease PstA, a putative permease other than PstC, upstream of the PstA and two essential enzymes in the polyphosphate metabolism: polyphosphate kinase 1 and exopolyphosphatase.

Investigation was made to study the impact of long-term fertilizer and manure application on the sub-soil nitrogen (N) fertility of an acidic Inceptisol under continuous rice-rice cropping system. For this purpose, a long-term fertilizer experiment commenced from 2005-06, rabi season in the Central Farm of Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT), Bhubaneswar under aegis of ICAR, New Delhi was used. The experiment had 12 manurial treatments whose impact on sub-soil N fertility up to 75 cm depth and its relation with surface soil N fertility was studied. N uptake and crop yield has been assessed after 20 cropping cycles. The initial soil was acidic (pH 5.8) with low soil organic carbon (4.3 g kg -1) and CEC of 3.75 cmol (p+) kg-1, mineralizable N of 187 kg ha-1 and total N of 1280 kg ha-1. After 20 cropping cycles, the soil organic carbon (SOC) content increased in all the fertilized treatments in the surface layer and with depth it decreased sharply from 15-30 cm to 30-45 cm layer. Treatments with balanced nutrition registered higher content of total N, organic N, mineralizable N and inorganic N both in surface soil and sub-soil. Not only the surface soil but also the sub-soil contents of total N, organic N and mineralizable N are significantly influenced by long-term use of fertilizer nutrients and manure under wet land intensive rice production system. Sub-soil contents of total N, organic N, mineralizable N, inorganic N, ammonium N and nitrate N have strong positive correlation with those of surface layer. SOC, total N, mineralizable N and inorganic N are strongly correlated with each other in the same layer. Correlation of organic N and total N with nitrate N was however, significant up to 30 cm depth and beyond that there was no correlation at 30-45 cm layer. From the results, it is concluded that application of nutrient in balanced and integrated manner (NPK + FYM) not only increased grain yield and sustainability of rice but also improved various pools of N in surface as well as sub-soil up to 75 cm depth of a wet land rice-rice production system under subtropical climatic situation.

The combination of Factor A and Factor B comprises 20 treatment combinations with three replicates. The soil enzymes such as urease, dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase, were examined in the postharvest soil sample.

Results: The outcomes demonstrated that the soil enzymatic activity of post-harvest soil under spinach crop was greatly improved with the application of fluoride in case of soil dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase except soil urease. Application of alum modified biochar and phosphoric acid modified biochars at different application rates significantly all the 4 studied soil enzymatic activities. Compared to the control, PAMB40 increases the urease, dehydrogenase, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase by 32.71, 58.83, 142.60 and 31.10%, respectively.

Conclusion: This study suggested that biochar treated with phosphoric acid and alum might be utilised as a long term improvement to enhance quality of soil, the importance of which would be vital for agriculture.
Effect of Leaf Extract of Cassia fistula on the Growth and Development of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Cercospora bataticola
Authors: Yadav Sushil Kumar , Sahu Gajendra , Singh Doomar , Kumar Santosh
Published: August 2022

Because of the widespread and uncontrolled use of traditional fungicides, many plant pathogens have become resistant to them, making it more challenging to control most fungal plant diseases with these fungicides. Since the dawn of time, phytochemicals have contributed significantly to human welfare without causing any harm. Therefore, PFT method with different leaf extracts of Cassia fistula (Aqueous, methanol and acetone) and their three concentrations (250µl, 500µl and 1000µl per 15 ml of PDA) was used against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and Cercospora bataticola, causing fruit rot and leaf spot of beet respectively. Results of this study showed that maximum inhibition (76.8%) of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was found with1000µl concentration of methanolic extract of Cassia fistula leaves 3 DAI while maximum inhibition of Cercospora bataticola (68.7%) was found with the same concentration of acetone extract of Cassia fistula leaves 3 DAI. Considerable growth inhibition (68.7%) of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and 50.5% of Cercospora bataticola were found with 1000µl concentration of methanolic and acetonic extracts of Cassia fistula leaves respectively 5 DAI. Acetonic extract of Cassia fistula leaves with 1000µl concentration was also found as a good antifungal for Colletotrichum gloeosporioides which inhibited 64.8% and 54.6% 3 and 5 DAI respectively.

However, there was no considerable growth inhibition of both fungal plant pathogens with aqueous extract. The results of present study revealed that methanolic and acetonic leaf extracts of Cassia fistula can be used for fungal plant disease management with further extensive studies.

Cagaita seeds quickly lose their germination power when stored in the natural environmental conditions of the Cerrado. Like most native Cerrado species, data on more favorable seed viability conservation conditions are still quite scarce. The experiment was carried out in the greenhouse of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of the Tocantins in the city of Gurupi - TO, between November 5, 2019, and March 7, 2020. Cagaita seeds (Eugenia dysenterica DC.) were used to perform it. The treatments applied to the seeds consisted of five sowing times, at intervals of three days. In general, the evaluated characteristics showed sensitivity by indicating differences between sowing times, where the highest values, root, and shoot length were obtained when the seeds were sown on 11/05/2019 (12.8 cm; 10.2 cm), respectively, and lower at sowing of 11/17/2019 (7.8 cm; 7.0 cm), respectively. The values obtained from the first emergency count allowed us to differentiate the sowing times at vigor levels, they were influenced by the sowing times. Cagaita seeds, sowing soon after fruit collection, showed higher viability and vigor.
DIMENSÕES DA CRISE DO SINDICALISMO BRASILEIRO
Authors: Cardoso Adalberto
Published: August 2022

O artigo inquire a propalada crise do sindicalismo brasileiro na última década. Analisa algumas dimensões centrais do ordenamento sindical do país (número de sindicatos existentes, filiação a centrais sindicais, taxa de filiação sindical, volume de greves, negociação coletiva e outros), e mostra que, apesar da queda acentuada nas taxas de filiação, a ação sindical tem se mostrado eficiente na negociação coletiva. A imagem da crise está associada ao ambiente político mais geral, no qual o projeto político da parcela hegemônica do movimento (a CUT e aliados) e seus partidos (o PT e aliados) estão, hoje, sob fogo cerrado das forças que se lhes opõem. Palavras-chave: Sindicalismo. Crise econômica. Crise política. Negociação coletiva. Greves. THE EXTENSION OF THE CRISIS IN BRAZILIAN UNIONISM Adalberto Cardoso The article inquires on the alleged crisis of the Brazilian trade unionism in the last decade. Analyzes some central dimensions of the union dynamics in the country (number of trade unions, membership in central federations, union density, volume of strikes, collective bargaining and others), and shows that in spite of the sharp drop in union density, union actions have proven effective in collective bargaining. The picture of crisis is linked to the overall political environment in which the political project of the movement’s hegemonic portion (the CUT and allies) and its parties (the PT and its allies) are today under fire from the forces that oppose them. Keywords: Trade unionism. Economic crisis. Political crisis. Collective bargaining. Strikes LES DIMENSIONS DE LA CRISE DU SYNDICALISME BRESILIEN Adalberto Cardoso Cet article présente une enquête faite sur la crise généralisée des dix dernières années du syndicalisme brésilien. Il analyse quelques dimensions clés de l’organisation syndicale du pays (nombre de syndicats, adhésion à des fédérations syndicales, taux d’adhésion syndicale, quantité de grèves, les négociations collectives et autres) et démontre que malgré une baisse considérable du taux d’adhésion, l’action syndicale s’est montrée efficiente dans les négociations collectives. L’image de la crise est associée à l’ambiance politique générale dans laquelle le projet politique de la partie hégémonique du mouvement (la CUT et ses alliés) et ses partis (o PT et ses alliés) sont aujourd’hui dans le collimateur des forces qui s’opposent à eux.

Lacan's model of child development is of particular value when one attempts to work with an adult client who was abused before language was sufficiently developed to become the primary, conscious framework for meaning making, i.e. pre-verbally.
Simply put, Lacan's model contains: the Real (that which we cannot know, because it exists before we have a conscious awareness. It is that which is not altered by anything else, any 'other'); the Imaginary (that which exists in the earliest relationship mother/other- but is non verbal and is non symbolised. It exists in another realm, which is kinaesthetic/sensational/emotive); and the Symbolic (which is the realm that the child enters into with the acquisition of language. In our culture, this is the realm of the patriarchy- which has specific implications for victims of pre-verbal sexual abuse).
Working with antisocial personality disorder
Authors: Manning Seán
Published: August 2022

The antisocial personality has long been dismissed by analysts and psychotherapists as unresponsive to psychotherapy. This paper explores reasons for this, using the idea of Ego and Shadow. Transactional Analysis theory is presented to construct a theoretical foundation from which psychotherapeutic work can usefully proceed. The negative role of therapist empathy, the reasons why successful programs are often run by non-professionals, and indicators for treatment are explored.

Importance

Epinephrine improves return of spontaneous circulation after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). These beneficial cardiac effects do not directly translate to better neurologic outcomes, possibly because of epinephrine-induced microvascular effects that produce critical brain ischemia.

Objective

To examine whether targeted temperature management (TTM) modifies the adverse association between increasing prehospital epinephrine dose and neurologically favorable survival.

Design, Setting, and Participants

This retrospective cohort study assessed 14 612 adults from Seattle and King County, Washington, with nontraumatic OHCA between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2018, and included those who achieved return of spontaneous circulation and were unconscious at hospital admission. Data analysis was performed from April 2021 to May 2022.

Exposures

Epinephrine dose and TTM during prehospital resuscitation.

Main Outcomes and Measures

Favorable neurologic survival (Cerebral Performance Category [CPC] 1 or 2) and survival to hospital discharge.

Results

Of the 14 612 assessed adults, 5253 (median age, 63 years; IQR, 51-74 years; 3460 [65.8%] male) were eligible for the study. The median epinephrine dose was 2.0 mg (IQR, 1.0-3.0 mg); 3052 patients (58.1%) received TTM. In all, 1889 patients (36.0%) survived with CPC 1 to 2, and 2177 (41.4%) survived to discharge. Increasing doses of epinephrine were associated with a decreasing likelihood of CPC 1 to 2 (odds ratio [OR], 0.46; 95% CI 0.42-0.50 for each additional milligram of epinephrine) and survival (OR, 0.47; 95% CI, 0.43-0.51). The dose-dependent epinephrine association was modified by TTM. After adjusting for Utstein covariates, TTM was associated with a relative stepwise improvement in odds of CPC 1 to 2 (interaction OR, 1.36; 95% CI, 1.22-1.51) and survival (interaction OR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.24-1.51). A significant interaction was also observed when the analysis was stratified according to initial rhythm among shockable OHCA and nonshockable OHCA (shockable interaction OR, 1.20; 95% CI, 1.04-1.39; and nonshockable interaction OR, 1.24, 95% CI, 1.07-1.45).

Conclusions and Relevance

This cohort study found an interaction between TTM and epinephrine dose such that the beneficial association of TTM increased with increasing epinephrine dose, suggesting that TTM may attenuate the adverse effects of higher-dose epinephrine.
