Du groupe à la personne, faire échec à l’individu !
Authors: Fiche Baptiste , Moussu Mélanie
Published: May 2023

Cet article vise à rendre compte de l’évolution des pratiques en établissement médico-social, au travers de réflexions menées en équipe et via des vignettes issues du quotidien. L’objet de l’accompagnement s’est déplacé du groupe à la personne. Dans cette perspective, la question n’est plus de savoir « comment ne pas subir le collectif », mais plutôt de « comment s’en servir » pour mieux le transformer. L’auteur présente ici des modalités institutionnelles favorisant cette évolution au travers du témoignage d’une professionnelle.
Une formation entre deux rives
Authors: Papillon Marie-Odile
Published: May 2023

Le travail en équipe est un des supports principaux de l’éducateur spécialisé ou de l’éducateur de jeunes enfants pour accompagner la personne adulte, l’adolescent ou l’enfant. En formation, l’étudiant va apprendre à travailler sur cette place au sein de l’équipe d’un stage, alors que celui-ci est pris dans un contexte où les manquements institutionnels sont de plus en plus défaillants. Ainsi, le formateur va devoir chercher avec le groupe d’étudiants de nouvelles stratégies d’apprentissage afin d’aider ce futur professionnel à prendre la distance souhaitable pour analyser cette pratique et trouver des repères fiables pour se projeter.
« Cherche travailleur social, diplôme indifférent »
Authors: Chobeaux François
Published: May 2023

L’observation du fonctionnement de « petites équipes » qui agissent dans les marges de l’action sociale instituée montre le développement de fonctionnements transdisciplinaires où la compétence propre liée à chaque type de diplôme possédé laisse la place à une action commune en grande partie indifférenciée, sans pour autant nier les compétences expertes propres à chacun. Ce constat interpelle l’effet inattendu des cadrages institutionnels légitimes que sont les cadres d’emplois et les conventions collectives.
Regards croisés en équipe pluridisciplinaire
Authors: Chéron Lateurtre Juliette
Published: May 2023

Bien trop souvent, lorsque l’on parle de travail pluridisciplinaire au sein d’un établissement médico-social, on pense le psychologue comme étant le détenteur d’une quasi-exclusivité de don de sens d’une situation, à travers « l’éclairage clinique » qui fait partie de ses fonctions au sein du travail en équipe. Cependant, les observations et les analyses des situations en pluridisciplinarité se nourrissent des constats et des interprétations de chacun des professionnels, et si nous ne pouvons pas évoquer le terme de « réciprocité » de ces échanges, puisqu’ils sont de différente nature, ils sont spécifiques et complémentaires. À travers une situation clinique, nous verrons à quel point ce travail en pluridisciplinarité et les regards croisés sont essentiels lorsque l’on exerce auprès d’enfants accueillis en institution.
« Dans le même bateau »
Authors: Juliot Lucie
Published: May 2023

Tant de fantasmes pèsent sur ces espaces où l’on accueille la détresse humaine sans la réduire à des données chiffrables. « Je me fais suivre… je vais voir quelqu’un » sont des formules très bien relevées par l’humoriste Gad Elmaleh pour dire les métaphores employées pour nommer le recours aux thérapeutes. Qu’est-ce qui au juste amène les patient·es à venir nous consulter ? Mais aussi, qu’est-ce qui nous amène à travailler à plusieurs dans ces institutions, dont on prédit d’ailleurs constamment l’effondrement ? Après le « faire famille », le « faire équipe », ou comment supporter la singularité de l’autre. Nos engagements dans ces collectifs sont toujours à interroger au regard de l’époque que nous traversons, mais aussi de ce qui nous oriente dans nos pratiques pour garantir la dignité.
Travail et savoir : l’intentionnalité symbolique comme autre nom du désir, et le symptôme
Authors: Fiori René
Published: May 2023

L’intentionnalité symbolique, autre nom du désir, est ce qui, à la différence de l’animal, singularise l’activité et le comportement du sujet dans l’homme. Elle est autant respiration libidinale que nécessité vitale, et c’est à cette aune que l’on peut mesurer aujourd’hui, et en ces termes de Lacan, l’altération, réversible espérons-nous, que subit la subjectivité à l’ère technologique.

Le jeu comme pratique éducative, quelle place dans une formation de moniteur-éducateur ?
Authors: Lateurtre Jérôme
Published: May 2023

Ayant été animateur, puis éducateur spécialisé auprès d’enfants et d’adolescents, l’auteur perçoit l’importance et le rôle que peut endosser le jeu dans le développement des individus, dans la dynamique de groupe, et dans la mise en place de la relation éducative. Pourtant, il constate, en tant que jeune formateur dans un institut régional du travail social, que le jeu n’est pas un contenu pédagogique à part entière et qu’il n’est que très rarement utilisé comme modalité pédagogique. Alors se pose légitimement la question de la place du jeu aujourd’hui dans les formations, notamment de moniteur-éducateur. Tout en mobilisant les apports, en particulier de quelques pédagogues de l’éducation nouvelle, il est relaté ici l’initiative de proposer le jeu en tant qu’objet central d’une intervention pédagogique.
Finite-time stabilization of stochastic systems with varying parameters
Authors: Kallel Wajdi , Allugmani Noura
Published: May 2023

This research deals with the stabilization of the stochastic nonlinear systems. In order to achieve the asymptotic stability in probability with respect to unknown bounded disturbances, a control Lyapunov function is applied to present a modified Sontag's homogeneous controller. The obtained results reveal that the presented control achieves the desirable robust asymptotic stability in probability. The finite-time stability in probability for stochastic nonlinear systems is also discussed in this manuscript. Simulation examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the controllers.
Hopf bifurcation in a delayed reaction diffusion predator-prey model with weak Allee effect on prey and fear effect on predator
Authors: Wang Fatao , Yang Ruizhi , Xie Yining , Zhao Jing
Published: May 2023

In this work, a Leslie-Gower model with a weak Allee effect on the prey and a fear effect on the predator is proposed. By using qualitative analyses, the local stability of the coexisting equilibrium and the existence of Turing instable are discussed. By analyzing the distribution of eigenvalues, the existence of a Hopf bifurcation is studied by using the gestation time delay as a bifurcation parameter. By utilizing the normal form method and the center manifold theorem, we calculate the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions. We indicate that both the weak Allee effect on the prey and fear effect on the predator have an important impact on the dynamical behaviour of the new Leslie-Gower model. We also verify the obtained results by some numerical examples.
Lifespan estimate of solution to the semilinear wave equation with damping term and mass term
Authors: Fan Xiongmei , Ming Sen , Han Wei , Liang Zikun
Published: May 2023

This paper is mainly concerned with the initial boundary value problems of semilinear wave equations with damping term and mass term as well as Neumann boundary conditions on exterior domain in three dimensions. Blow-up and upper bound lifespan estimates of solutions to the problem with damping term and mass term are derived by applying test function technique and iterative method, where nonlinear terms are power nonlinearity $ |u|^p $, derivative nonlinearity $ |u_{t}|^p $, combined nonlinearities $ |u_t|^p+|u|^q $, respectively. Moreover, upper bound lifespan estimate of solution to the problem with scale invariant damping term, non-negative mass term and combined nonlinearities $ |u_t|^p+|u|^q $ is obtained. The proofs are based on the test function method and iterative approach. The main new contribution is that upper bound lifespan estimates of solutions are associated with the Strauss exponent and Glassey exponent. In addition, the variation trend of wave is achieved by taking advantage of numerical simulation.
C4 olefin production conditions optimizing based on a hybrid model
Authors: Zhou Yancong , Xu Chenheng , Chen Yongqiang , Li Shanshan
Published: May 2023

The yield of C4 olefin is often low due to the complexity of the associated products. Finding the optimal ethanol reaction conditions requires repeated manual experiments, which results in a large consumption of resources. Therefore, it is challenging to design ethanol reaction conditions to make the highest possible yield of C4 olefin. This paper introduces artificial intelligence technology to the optimization problem of C4 olefin production conditions. A sample incremental eXtreme Gradient Boosting tree based on Gaussian noise (GXGB) is proposed to establish the objective function of the variables to be optimized. The Sparrow Search Algorithm (SSA), which has an improved advantage in the optimization efficiency, is used to combine with GXGB. Therefore, a kind of hybrid model GXGB-SSA that can solve the optimization of complex problems is proposed. The purpose of this model is to find the combination of ethanol reaction conditions that makes the maximum yield of C4 olefin. In addition, due to the insufficient interpretation ability of GXGB on the data, the SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) value method is creatively introduced to investigate the effect of each ethanol reaction condition on the yield of C4 olefin. The constraints of each decision variable for optimization are adjusted according to the analysis results. The experimental results have showed that the proposed GXGB-SSA model obtained the combination of ethanol reaction conditions that maximized the yield of C4 olefin. (i.e., when the Co loading is 1.1248 wt%, the Co/SiO2 and HAP mass ratio is 1.8402, the ethanol concentration is 0.8992 ml/min, the total catalyst mass is 400 mg, and the reaction temperature is 420.37 ℃, the highest C4 olefin yield is obtained as 5611.46%). It is nearly 25.46 % higher compared to the current highest yield of 4472.81 % obtained from manual experiments.
Entre mujeres-locas y hombres-psiquiatras: asimetrías emocionales en la sala 20 del Manicomio Provincial de Málaga (1909-1950)
Authors: Garcia-Diaz Celia
Published: May 2023

El tipo de relación que se desarrollaba entre un psiquiatra (hombre) y una paciente (mujer) durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, en un psiquiátrico de la periferia como el Manicomio Provincial de Málaga, estuvo marcado por el proceso legitimador de la especialidad, los esfuerzos por encontrar datos positivos en la medicina mental, así como elementos relacionados con la construcción generizada de la locura. Tras la Guerra Civil, veremos el desarrollo de los actos diagnósticos y la aplicación de las terapias de choque en la institución, y como se fue haciendo aún más profunda la brecha relacional entre psiquiatras y “locas”. El objetivo de este trabajo es abordar qué elementos estuvieron presentes en la construcción de las subjetividades de las mujeres-locas de la sala 20, qué regímenes emocionales influyeron en estas relaciones y mostrar, por último, cómo la tecnificación de la terapéutica durante los años 40 dio lugar a la perpetuación y amplificación de una asimetría emocional entre psiquiatras y “mujeres-locas” de la sala 20, circunstancia en la que las mujeres mostraron también sus estrategias de resistencia.

La obra de Nancy Anne Kingsbury Wollstonecraft -a partir de ahora, A. K. Wollstonecraft- comprende observaciones sobre más de cien especies vegetales de la Isla de Cuba, datos sobre la etimología de su nomenclatura, usos y aplicaciones de las plantas, así como datos sobre los hechos históricos que la rodean y sus propias reflexiones personales. Esto convierte a esta obra en un manuscrito extraordinario que transita entre la ciencia, el arte y el relato de viajes. En este artículo se presentan las principales referencias de los datos biográficos conocidos hasta el momento y un análisis introductorio a su obra botánica ilustrada.
A dignidade compromissória e emancipatória do trabalho 5.0
Authors: Medeiros Breno , Hasson Sayeg Ricardo
Published: May 2023

A Sociedade 5.0 desponta como o paradigma atual, de natureza ético-conformadora das relações sociais, segundo critérios socioambientais ligados ao conceito de sustentabilidade das relações de trabalho, produção e consumo. No campo do trabalho, esse paradigma emerge como um modelo de reformatação dos espaços laborais, criando o conceito de trabalho 5.0 que envolve a substituição de atividades redundantes por habilidades profissionais de natureza multidisciplinar e criativa. O conceito de trabalho 5.0 liga-se à noção de revolução industrial 4.0 e de dignidade da pessoa humana em sua dupla dimensão (compromissória e emancipatória), de modo a impulsionar a liberdade individual no labor pela construção gradativa de um conceito de força de trabalho singular, adaptada ao novo ambiente corporativo de inovação tecnológica permanente e projeção ilimitada de ganhos financeiros e de experiência com o trabalho. A dupla dimensão dignitária do trabalho 5.0 será abordada conceitualmente neste artigo, de modo a situar o novo paradigma da Sociedade 5.0 no universo singular das relações de trabalho, consoante o método de pesquisa dedutivo e sua técnica de abordagem bibliográfica e documental, mediante uma metodologia toda própria para um estudo interdisciplinar envolvendo uma temática de Administração, Direitos Humanos, Direito do Trabalho e Direito Internacional Público.
Teorias dialógicas, minorias e pluralismo: uma reflexão com fundamento na filosofia constitucional do reconhecimento
Authors: Bunchaft Maria Eugenia , Ribeiro Moreira Eduardo
Published: May 2023

A estratégia teórica de articular as reflexões sobre a Filosofia do Reconhecimento à Teoria da Constituição  é um dos pilares fundamentais de um novo ramo do Direito denominado Filosofia Constitucional do Reconhecimento.  O trabalho investiga o voto do ministro Barroso na ADPF 527 com base em uma estratégia que aposta na relação de complementaridade entre teorias dialógicas e métodos interseccionais à luz da Filosofia Constitucional do Reconhecimento. A Filosofia do Reconhecimento e a Teoria da Constituição possuem um substrato conceitual comum: o desafio do pluralismo, que marca sociedades multiculturais, e a necessidade de uma jurisdição constitucional que efetive direitos fundamentais de minorias vulneráveis. Portanto, o problema de pesquisa consiste no questionamento: como se expressou a relação entre estratégia dialógica e métodos interseccionais no voto do Ministro Barroso na ADPF 527? Considerando as contribuições da Filosofia Constitucional do Reconhecimento, sustenta-se a hipótese de que o voto do Ministro Barroso na ADPF 527, direcionado à efetivação de direitos fundamentais de grupos subalternizados, não foi capaz de articular o comportamento dialógico entre os Poderes a uma linguagem interseccional.  Utiliza-se o método monográfico. A técnica de pesquisa é a documentação indireta, realizada por meio de consulta bibliográfica aos marcos teóricos de Post, Siegel, Habermas, Taylor e de outros autores. Utiliza-se a pesquisa documental.

Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) can be used in acute hypoxemic respiratory failure (AHRF); however, verifying the best interface for its use needs to be evaluated in the COVID-19 pandemic scenario. To evaluate the behavior of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio in patients with AHRF with and without COVID-19 undergoing NIV with the conventional orofacial mask and the adapted diving mask. This is a randomized clinical trial in which patients were allocated into four groups: Group 1: COVID-19 + adapted mask (n=12); Group 2: COVID-19 + conventional orofacial mask (n=12); Group 3: non-COVID + adapted mask (n= 2); and Group 4: non-COVID + conventional orofacial mask (n=12]. The PaO2/FiO2 ratio was obtained 1, 24 and 48 h after starting NIV and the success of NIV was evaluated. This study followed the norms of the CONSORT Statement and registered in the Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials, under registration RBR – 7xmbgsz. Both the adapted diving mask and the conventional orofacial mask increased the PaO2/FiO2 ratio. The interfaces differed in terms of the PaO2/FiO2 ratio in the first hour [309.66 (11.48) and 275.71 (11.48), respectively] (p=0.042) and 48 h [365.81 (16.85) and 308.79 (18.86), respectively] (p=0.021). NIV success was 91.7% in groups 1, 2 and 3, and 83.3% in Group 4. No adverse effects related to interfaces or NIV were observed. NIV through the conventional orofacial mask interfaces and the adapted diving mask was effective in improving the PaO2/FiO2 ratio, however, the adapted mask presented a better PaO2/FiO2 ratio during use. There was no significant difference between interfaces regarding NIV failure.
Isolated Hepatobiliary Involvement in an Infant with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis
Authors: Lakra Niva , Paul Abhik , Ghosh Ranajoy , Datta Supratim
Published: May 2023

Background:

Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare condition in which there is the proliferation of cells of the monocyte-dendritic cell lineage, including Langerhan's cells, with variable clinical manifestations and outcomes. Hepatic involvement is often seen as a part of multi-system LCH and is associated with a fulminant course. Isolated hepatobiliary involvement in LCH is rare.

Clinical Description:

We report an 11-month-old female infant presenting with prolonged fever associated with progressive jaundice, clay-colored stools, and a massive hepatomegaly. Liver biopsy showed CD1a and Langerin positivity. There was no other system involvement, and hence, the infant was diagnosed with a case of single-system LCH with isolated hepato-biliary LCH.

Management and Outcome:

A customized chemotherapeutic regimen was started with cytarabine and prednisolone. The patient has responded and there has been gradual improvement in the general clinical condition as well as the laboratory parameters.

Conclusions:

This case report creates the awareness of possible presentation of pediatric LCH with isolated liver involvement. A high index of suspicion, carefully customized chemotherapeutic regimen may help in the timely diagnosis and successful management.
Triptorelin-Induced Delayed Transient Arterial Hypertension
Authors: Gortan Anna Jolanda , Franco Francesca , Rodofile Federica , Cogo Paola
Published: May 2023

Background:

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone analogs (GnRHas) such as triptorelin have been found to be effective and safe in the suppression of central precocious puberty (CPP). Only minor and transient side effects have been reported with depot preparation used in children.

Clinical Description:

We present three children with CPP who developed late onset hypertension 18–24 months after starting triptorelin, a long-acting GnRHa depot preparation. The secondary causes of hypertension were ruled out on the basis of clinical findings, appropriate blood tests, echocardiography, and abdominal ultrasound.

Management and Outcome:

After starting therapy with GnRHa, the children were evaluated routinely every 2–3 months for the 1st year, then every 6 months. They developed hypertension between 18 and 24 months after starting triptorelin. While therapy with triptorelin was stopped in all three children, only one of them was prescribed antihypertensive drug. The hypertension resolved gradually after discontinuation of triptorelin in all the children and antihypertensive was also omitted in the single case.

Conclusion:

Hypertension may be an adverse effect of triptorelin therapy and thus regular monitoring of blood pressure in children undergoing therapy with this drug for CPP is warranted.
Oropharyngeal Mucocele as an Unusual Cause of Recurrent Pneumonia in a Young Infant
Authors: Banerjee Amrita , Ghosh Dipyaman
Published: May 2023

Background:

Oral mucoceles, though frequently seen as asymptomatic lesions in young adults, very little is known about their existence in infants and the complications arising out of them in this age group.

Clinical Description:

A 4-month-old infant presented with a history of recurrent episodes of breathing difficulty since 15 days of life, every episode being managed as aspiration pneumonia. The child presented in the fifth such episode with tachypnea tachycardia and chest indrawing. Auscultation revealed bilateral crepitations and chest X-ray showed diffuse haziness in the bilateral chest predominantly in the right middle lobe, rest of the systemic examination being normal. Oral cavity examination showed a bluish globular bulge behind the tongue with surrounding congested mucosa and thick secretions.

Management and Outcome:

The baby was managed with respiratory support in the form of continuous positive airway pressure, intravenous antibiotics Piperacillin-Tazobactam, amikacin and metronidazole, and anti-reflux measures of oral Domperidone. Flexible laryngoscopy showed a cystic lesion behind the tongue and contrast-enhanced computerized tomography confirmed a hypodense lesion arising from the uvula suggestive of a mucocele. Excision of the oro-pharyngeal cystic lesion was done and the histopathological examination confirmed it to be a mucocele. The baby was gradually weaned off oxygen support and proper breastfeeding was re-established.

Conclusion:

This case creates awareness regarding the fact that an unsuspected oral mucocele may be the cause of recurrent respiratory symptoms in an infant, thereby reiterating the importance of oral examination even in young infants.
A Case of Childhood Onset of Extended Sensory Ataxic Neuropathy, Dysarthria, and Ophthalmoparesis Phenotype with Pathogenic Polymerase Gamma Variation
Authors: Shah Ami , Kulkarni Shilpa , Mallakmir Snehal , Merchant Rashid
Published: May 2023

Background:

Ataxia neuropathy spectrum, including sensory ataxia neuropathy, dysarthria, and ophthalmoparesis (SANDO), is a part of polymerase gamma (POLG) gene-related disorder, a heterogeneous group of mitochondrial disorders. Childhood onset of the SANDO phenotype is rare, and we describe such a case here, probably the first from India.

Clinical Description:

A 17-year-old girl presented with progressive gait abnormality since 5 years of age, later associated with ptosis and seizures. On examination, she had atrophy of distal small muscles and absent tendon reflexes in addition to ataxia and ptosis. Differentials for a neurodegenerative disorder with cognitive sparing and ophthalmoplegia were suspected.

Management:

Investigations revealed a mild elevation in serum lactate, transaminases, and creatine phosphokinase, with abnormal neurophysiology showing primary muscle disease with symmetrical sensorimotor polyneuropathy, and a normal neuroimaging. Gene sequencing analysis for the mitochondrial disorder was done, which revealed a pathogenic variation in the POLG gene. The child was kept on supportive management, including antiepileptics.

Conclusion:

This case shows that the SANDO phenotype of POLG-related disorders, classically seen in adults, may rarely be seen in children. Our case highlights the fact that although many of the progressive neurodegenerative disorders have a nonspecific clinical presentation, biomarkers, and neurophysiologic abnormalities, a few important phenotypic clues and awareness of POLG-related disorders may enable a pediatrician to order focused genetic testing to delineate the etiology.
Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage
Authors: Kulkarni Rajesh , Singh Rhea , Gohatre Himanshu , Kumar Arvind
Published: May 2023

Background:

Diffuse lung disease (DLD), conventionally known as interstitial lung disease (ILD), encompasses a spectrum of diseases involving the pulmonary parenchyma with impairment of gaseous exchange. Most of the diseases under DLD have similar presentations, but appropriate investigations can delineate the exact disease. Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is one of the diseases under this umbrella group of DLD.

Clinical Description:

A 3-year-old girl suffering from persistent breathlessness and intermittent hypoxic exacerbations over 1 year, presented to us with acute respiratory worsening. She was underweight with stunting and had severe pallor. She had received blood transfusions in previous hospitalizations. Chest-X-ray shows reticular opacities, with High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) chest showing bilateral diffuse ground glass opacities involving all lobes with the prominent pulmonary artery. The broncho-alveolar lavage showed hemosiderin-laden macrophages, thereby confirming alveolar hemorrhage. Antinuclear antibody was positive, though double-stranded DNA and Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody were negative. The child was thus diagnosed with a case of DAH, probably, immune mediated.

Management:

The child was treated with supportive care, including oxygen, intravenous fluids, antibiotics, and packed red cell transfusion. Even after improvement in hemoglobin, oxygen dependency persisted. The child was then administered Intravenous Immunoglobulin and prednisolone, to which the child showed a response with gradual weaning off oxygen.

Conclusions:

In any child presenting with persistent respiratory symptoms, especially exercise intolerance, over a prolonged period with intermittent hypoxic exacerbations, a pediatrician should consider diagnoses beyond infections and multitrigger wheezing. Such manifestations, particularly if associated with failure to thrive, may be due to DLD. DAH, a rare form of DLD, may be a possibility in such children.
Comparison of McGrath videolaryngoscope with conventional Macintosh laryngoscope for tracheal intubation in pediatric patients with normal airway
Authors: Bhamri Stuti , Desai Devyani , Chauhan Darshit , Cheraya Neha
Published: May 2023

Background and Aims:

Videolaryngoscopes have attained prime importance in securing the airway in children in the present era. McGrath videolaryngoscope is available with single-use non-channeled fog-free disposable blades of various sizes showing its efficacy for intubation in adults but still lacunae in data related to children.

Materials and Methods:

In this prospective randomized controlled trial, a total of 88 children of the American Society of Anesthesiologists Grade I and II aged 1–10 years, weighing 10–20 kg undergoing general anesthesia were enrolled. Using the sealed envelope technique, the children were randomly allocated between Group G, in whom McGrath videolaryngoscope and Group M, in whom Macintosh laryngoscope was used for intubation. The primary aim was to compare intubation time between the two videolaryngoscopes. The secondary outcomes included glottic exposure time, Cormack and Lehane grading, number of attempts of intubation, intubation difficulty scale and complications. Statistical analysis was done using MedCalc software. The Student's t-test and Chi-square test were used for quantitative and categorical data, respectively.

Results:

The mean intubation time was comparable in both the groups (18.14 ± 17.80 s in Group G vs. 17.30 ± 16.74 s in Group M, P = 0.821). The mean time to glottic exposure was shorter (5.66 ± 4.58 vs. 8.50 ± 5.59 s, P = 0.0108) with decreased number of attempts of tube insertion and less incidences of trauma observed in patients with Group G as opposed to Group M. The Cormack and Lehane grading showed better glottic view in Group G.

Conclusion:

McGrath videolaryngoscope is as useful as the Macintosh laryngoscope for intubation in children with the added advantages of a better view of the larynx, lesser attempts to intubation, and fewer incidence of trauma.
Increasing the Performance of Computer Numerical Control Machine via the Dhouib-Matrix-4 Metaheuristic
Authors: Dhouib Souhail , Pezer Danijela
Published: May 2023

The Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machine represents a turning point in today's production which has high requirements for product accuracy. The CNC machine enables a high flexibility in work and time saving and also reduces the time required for product accuracy control. Moreover, the CNC machine are used for several activities, most often for turning, drilling and milling operations. Usually, the productivity of any CNC machine can be increased thanks to the minimization of the non-productive of tool movement. In this paper, the results of a new metaheuristic named Dhouib-Matrix-4 (DM4) with an application on the NP-hard problem based on the Travelling Salesman Problem are presented. DM4 is used for increasing the performance of the CNC Machine by optimizing a tool path length in the drilling process performed on the CNC milling machine. The proposed algorithm (DM4) achieves a solution closed to the optimum, compared with the results obtained with the Ant Colony Optimization algorithm and the results found with the manual programming in G code by using a control unit for the selected CNC milling machine.
Reflection factorizations and quasi-Coxeter elements
Authors: Wegener Patrick , Yahiatene Sophiane
Published: May 2023

We investigate the so-called
dual Matsumoto property
or
Hurwitz action
in finite, affine and arbitrary Coxeter groups. In particular, we want to investigate how to reduce reflection factorizations and how two reflection factorizations of the same element are related to each other. We are motivated by the dual approach to Coxeter groups proposed by Bessis (2003) and the question whether there is an analogue of the well-known Matsumoto property for reflection factorizations. Our aim is a substantial understanding of the Hurwitz action. We therefore reprove uniformly results of Lewis–Reiner as well as Baumeister–Gobet–Roberts and the first author on the Hurwitz action in finite and affine Coxeter groups. Further we show that in an arbitrary Coxeter group all reduced reflection factorizations of the same element appear in the same Hurwitz orbit after a suitable extension by simple reflections.

As parabolic quasi-Coxeter elements play an outstanding role in the study of the Hurwitz action, we aim to characterize these elements. We provide a characterization of maximal parabolic quasi-Coxeter elements in arbitrary Coxeter groups as well as a characterization of all parabolic quasi-Coxeter elements in affine Coxeter groups.
An Enlightened Common Sense Approach to Environmental Education, with Special Reference to Climate Change
Authors: Price Leigh
Published: May 2023

This article argues that, in order for humanity to act timeously to ameliorate threats such as climate change, we would do well to heed the central tenets of Roy Bhaskar’s transcendental realism, which he also calls enlightened common sense. This is because transcendental realism is critical of the unnecessarily burdensome assumption allied with systems/complexity theory that statistical analyses and complex computer models are necessary and suffi cient to deal with complex systems such as climate. To the contrary, from the perspective of transcendental realism, it is knowing ‘how things work’ – being enlightened – that is necessary, and often sufficient, to deal with complex systems. For example, in terms of climate change, knowing how the Greenhouse Eff ect works – that is, knowing how extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere heats the Earth – makes it as simple to decide to act to reduce carbon dioxide as knowing how gravity works makes it simple to decide not to step off a high-rise building. This does not detract from the further need to (preferably democratically) consider diff erent action options, for which computer models can be a helpful tool. Transcendental realism also has implications for how environmental educators define climate and climate change and it provides an antidote to certain challenges posed by climate change deniers. Much of the critique applied in this article to systems/complexity theory can also be applied to posthumanism.

TolM provides a professional learning and development pathway ‘by Pasifika principals, for principals of Pasifika’ focused on changing education outcomes for Pasifika students who historically have been underserved in the education system. In this article, we highlight school leadership through the metaphor of Pacific wayfinding to demonstrate the importance of Pacific specific leadership for schools serving Pacific learners and families. Tautai data were collected through group talanoa/co-constructed dialogue sessions and individual talanoa sessions. Surfacing themes were connected metaphorically with traditional Pacific wayfinding skills and were enacted through Pacific leadership capabilities that included: adjusting school structures to utilise Pasifika learners’ strengths; surfacing and changing tautai and teacher beliefs to grow learning opportunities for Pasifika learners; valuing and validating Pasifika learner knowledges to support Pasifika success; and developing reciprocal partnerships with Pasifika families.

Migrant-Serving Organizations: Supporting U.S. Migrants with Safe Digital Access
Authors: Paarlberg Afshan
Published: May 2023

Migrants to the United States face technology, language, legal, cultural, and economic barriers. Without direct voter influence, migrants engage with and depend upon migrant-serving organizations to build identity, address negative scrutiny, overcome obstacles, and acclimate to society. In a growing and shifted digital landscape, migrant-serving organizations are vital to providing digital accessibility amongst migrants. This paper provides a literature review regarding digital accessibility amongst migrants. It offers recommendations for migrant-serving organizations in investigating barriers and program design that support the unique digital needs of migrants.
Language-learning difficulties and their influence on the Turkish-speaking migrant’s integration process in Belgium
Authors: Kiliç Emel
Published: May 2023

Language learning is a challenge for those who have recently immigrated to a foreign country (henceforth newcomers), especially for adult newcomers. Here, we have adopted a holistic approach and asked Turkish migrants to share their perspectives regarding the integration process. For this, we interviewed 59 Turkish-speaking newcomers from a (mixed) social integration course, whom we had subdivided into six focus groups. We also conducted in-depth interviews with 14 experienced migrants who then shared their experiences, expectations, problems and ambitions. The focus group interviews show us that offering opportunities to learn a foreign language along with dialogues with local people, in an informal setting, gives newcomers a feeling of independence (empowerment) and helps reduce their cultural angst. In this regard, intercultural communication with locals plays a key role in newcomers’ cultural and social integration. With this, the individual perspectives and expectations analysed in this study have provided novel insights for shaping the formal and informal integration process.
Internal Migration Patterns of National and Foreign Population in Italy. A Local Spatial Comparative Approach
Authors: Buonomo Alessio , Gatti Rosa , Benassi Federico
Published: May 2023

A local spatial comparative approach to study internal migration of national and foreign population in Italy is proposed in the paper. Univariate and bivariate local analysis of spatial autocorrelation of internal migration rates of the two populations is conducted. Results are mapped and crossed with municipalities typologies identified by the Degree of Urbanization (Degurba) classification. The local scale of analysis allows to appreciate specific patterns of internal migrations normally ignored. Specifically, a dual spatial regime emerges between geographical patterns of internal migration of nationals and foreigners in terms of urban-rural divide and level of spatial polarization.
LOJİSTİK PERFORMANSI, DOĞRUDAN YABANCI YATIRIM VE EKONOMİK BÜYÜME İLİŞKİSİ: SEÇİLMİŞ OECD ÜLKELERİ İÇİN PANEL KANTİL REGRESYON ANALİZİ
Authors: ACCİ Yunus , AYAR Mehmet Selçuk
Published: May 2023

Lojistik hizmetleri, küreselleşme ile birlikte ekonominin destekleyici gücü olarak kabul edilmektedir. Lojistik sektöründeki gelişmeler, ülke ekonomisini gelir yaratmaya teşvik ederek, yeni istihdam alanları sağlayarak, yatırımları, özellikle doğrudan yabancı yatırımları ve artan ticaret hacimlerini olumlu yönde etkileyerek ekonomik büyümeyi arttırmaktadır. Bununla beraber, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların kısa vadeli talep çekme etkisi ve uzun vadeli arz etkisi yaratarak ekonomik büyümeyi etkilemesi beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmada lojistik performans etkisi, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkisinin 20 OECD ülkesi (ABD, Kanada, Almanya, Fransa, Hollanda, Lüksemburg, İtalya, Birleşik Krallık, Danimarka, Belçika, İsveç, İsviçre, İspanya, Norveç, Portekiz, Türkiye, Finlandiya, Polonya, Slovakya, Yunanistan) için ampirik olarak test edilmesi amaç edinilmiştir. Ampirik analizlerde değişkenlerde; var olan uç değerleri dikkate alan ve normallik varsayımına dayalı olmaması gibi özellikleri nedeniyle ortalama regresyon yöntemine göre avantajlara sahip olan panel kantil regresyon analizi yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, lojistik performans endeksinin kişi başına gelirin düşük ve orta değerlerinde ekonomik büyümeyi olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Buna karşın kişi başına gelirin üst düzeylerinde ise lojistik performans endeksi ile kişi başına gelir arasında anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilememiştir. Eğitim, sabit sermaye yatırımları ve sağlık değişkenlerinin kişi başına geliri olumlu yönde etkilediği sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Kişi başına gelirin gerek düşük gerekse orta ve üst değerlerinde doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve kişi başına gelir arasında anlamlı bir ilişki elde edilememiştir.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate a scale to assess psychological well-being in physical activity and sport context, based on Ryff's theory (2014) and the definition of psychological well-being proposed Piñeiro et.al (2021). For that purpose, a Likert type instrument with 51 items was designed. The scale was applied to 584 participants (63% women) with aged between 15 and 29 years (M=19.05;SD 2.97)), from secondary schools and universities from different autonomous communities of Spain. After the statistical analysis, eliminating the items with low values, the final instrument was composed with 40 items (6 dimensions). The results showed that the scale manifests high reliability (α= .965), as well as high levels of explained variance. In conclusion, the research provides a valuable instrument, supported by a scientific theoretical basis, for the evaluation of psychological well-being through physical activity and sports practice in Spanish youth.

Authors: Gani Ismail , Tomoliyus Tomoliyus , Hariono Awan
Published: May 2023

The purpose of this study is to determine elementary school physical education teachers' awareness of the integration of multiple intelligences in the learning process in terms of teacher gender. Multiple intelligence integration is made up of eight sub-variables: logical-mathematical, linguistic-verbal, visual-spatial, musical, body-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist intelligence.This study is a comparative quantitative study. The participants in this study were elementary school physical education teachers from Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The Simple Random Sampling system was used to collect samples, and 58 teachers agreed to participate, with 36 male teachers and 22 female teachers. Data was collected using a questionnaire instrument with 29 questions and a 5-point Likert scale answer. All question items were deemed reliable because their r-count value was greater than r-table 0.254. On Cronbach's alpha, each sub-variable tested for reliability is worth more than 0.6. For normally distributed and homogeneous data, independent sample t test analysis was used. The Mann-Whitney Test is used to identify data that does not meet the prerequisite test. According to the results of the Independent sample t test analysis, the significance value of each variable is as follows: mathematical logic (0.735 > 0.05), visual spatial (0.880 > 0.05), musical (0.045 < 0.05), and intrapersonal (0.637 > 0.05). The independent sample t test results show that there is no difference in teacher awareness of multiple intelligence integration (logical-mathematical, visual-spatial, intrapersonal) between male and female teachers. These findings also show that there are differences in teacher awareness in the integration of multiple intelligences (musical) between male and female teachers. The significance value of each variable based on the non-parametric test using the Mann-Whitney Test is as follows: linguistic verbal 0.443 > 0.05, body-kinesthetic 0.273 > 0.05, interpersonal 0.826 > 0.05, and naturalist 0.563 > 0.05. These findings show that there is no difference in teacher awareness of multiple intelligences (verbal-linguistic body-kinesthetic, interpersonal, naturalist) between male and female teachers. The findings of this study can be used by the curriculum sector, school principals, and other related organizations to facilitate physical education teachers, especially male teachers, in training the integration of multiple intelligences in the learning process. Based on the findings of this study, it is hoped that further research into the integration of multiple intelligences in physical education will be conducted.
