Espace fermé, espace ouvert : Proust à la recherche du familier
Authors: Badescu Sanda
Published: July 2023

L’espace limité de la chambre acquiert des valeurs particulières chez Proust. L’œuvre A la recherche du temps perdu est bâtie sur de nombreuses oppositions qui s’expriment entre autres au niveau de l’espace: aussi, le romancier révèle-t-il comment la chambre peut être soit menaçante, soit accueillante, selon l’imagination qui y est investie. C’est ainsi que la chambre à coucher du narrateur enfant, bienveillante, peut devenir un supplice lorsque la nuit tombe et il doit se retrouver seul, et que la chambre d’hôtel, menaçante et inquiétante, peut se muer en espace tranquille et rassurant grâce à l’intervention du personnage féminin, à savoir la grand-mère. La dualité des deux côtés, familier et étranger, renferme une antithèse mais aussi une complémentarité qui s’avèrent fondamentales dans l’initiation et l’expérience du futur écrivain.
A Room All Her Own: An Aged Care Story
Authors: Dhavernas Catherine
Published: July 2023

The Biography Project is a research and teaching initiative that has allowed university students to assist older persons living in isolated rural communities or long-term residential care in Australia in the telling and writing of their life story. Storytelling is valuable for individuals in later life as a means of reflecting on their past, addressing past and present challenges, connecting with others, sharing invaluable insight with younger generations and acquiring a renewed sense of worth through the process. Focusing on the story of Merle, an aged care resident who for a year and a half shared her story with the author while confined to a room of her own, the article explores the specific impact of the storytelling process as it plays out for both the teller and the listener. While doing so the article suggests that life stories like Merle’s, that convey perspectives, experiences and knowledge from a time that is no longer, might have a place within and provide a worthwhile resource for the field of literary studies including the study of the spatial dimension.
J.M.G. Le Clézio and Jacques Derrida’s “Limitrophic,” Biocentric Deconstruction of the “Genesis Myth”
Authors: Moser Keith
Published: July 2023

This transdisciplinary reflection examines J.M.G. Le Clézio and Jacques Derrida’s limitrophic deconstruction of what is commonly referred to as the “genesis myth” in Judeo-Christian society. In addition to Cartesian dichotomies and debunked notions of human exceptionalism originating from Renaissance humanism, the Franco-Mauritian writer and Pied-noir philosopher take aim at the mainstream interpretation of Abrahamic cosmogonic narratives that have created a sharp ontological gap between Homo sapiens and other animals. Le Clézio and Derrida describe the genesis account of human-animal relations as an ecocidal, conflictual relationship that could be labeled a world war. They demonstrate that our dominant cognitive structures including the “genesis myth” that mostly remain uncontested, at least within the general public, have already left behind a path of irreversible destruction and other-than-human suffering. Unless we are able to curb the unending fury that the animal within us has unleashed against other sentient beings who bleed, suffer, live, and die just like us, Le Clézio and Derrida lament that our days are numbered.

Authors: Ge Connie , Gu Joey , Deng April , Joshi Ganesh , Most Mathew , Tai Ryan
Published: July 2023

Although chondroid syringoma rarely occurs outside the head and neck, the majority of malignant chondroid syringomas are identified in the extremities. Here, we present a case of atypical chondroid syringoma in the fifth toe. Diagnosis of chondroid syringoma with atypical cells was made following initial excisional biopsy and histology, necessitating repeated surgery for positive margins. In this case report, we examine the radiopathologic correlation of this diagnosis, detail the imaging findings of benign and malignant chondroid syringomas, and highlight how magnetic resonance imaging can be used to guide surgical planning and treatment course of this potentially malignant tumor.
The Diabetic Foot–Pain–Depression Cycle
Authors: Brooks Brandon M. , Shih Chia-Ding , Brooks Bradley M. , Tower Dyane E. , Tran Tiffany T. , Simon Janet E. , Armstrong David G.
Published: July 2023

Background: More than 86,000 Americans with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) undergo nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations annually. The opioid-prescribing practice of podiatric surgeons remains understudied. We hypothesized that patients with T2DM who undergo any forefoot amputation while using antidepressant medication will have reduced odds of using opioids beyond 7 days.

Methods: We completed a retrospective cohort study examining patients with T2DM who underwent forefoot amputation (toe, ray, transmetatarsal). Data were restricted to patients with a hemoglobin A1c level less than 8.0% and an ankle-brachial index greater than 0.8. The outcome was use of postoperative opioids beyond 7 days. Patients received an initial opioid prescription of 7 days or less. We developed simple logistic regression models to identify the odds of a patient using opioids beyond 7 days by patient variables: age, race, sex, amputation level, body mass index, antidepressant medication use, and marital status. Variables with P < .1 in the univariate analysis were included in the multiple logistic regression model.

Results: Fifty patients met the inclusion criteria. Antidepressant use and marital status were the only statistically significant variables. Adjusting for marital status, patients with antidepressant use had decreased odds (odds ratio, 0.018; 95% confidence interval, 0.001–0.229; P = .002) of using opioids beyond 7 days after a diabetic forefoot amputation.

Conclusions: Patients with T2DM who used antidepressants had significantly reduced odds of using opioids beyond 1 week after forefoot amputations compared with those without antidepressant use. We proposed an underlying diabetic foot–pain–depression cycle. To break the cycle, podiatric surgeons should screen this population for depression preoperatively and postoperatively and not hesitate to make a mental health referral if warranted. Nontraumatic amputations can be a traumatic experience for patients; psychiatrists and other mental health providers should be members of limb preservation teams.
p38γ and p38δ modulate innate immune response by regulating MEF2D activation

Evidence implicating p38γ and p38δ (p38γ/p38δ) in inflammation are mainly based on experiments using Mapk12/Mapk13-deficient (p38γ/δKO) mice, which show low levels of TPL2, the kinase upstream of MKK1–ERK1/2 in myeloid cells. This could obscure p38γ/p38δ roles, since TPL2 is essential for regulating inflammation. Here, we generated a Mapk12D171A/D171A/Mapk13−/− (p38γ/δKIKO) mouse, expressing kinase-inactive p38γ and lacking p38δ. This mouse exhibited normal TPL2 levels, making it an excellent tool to elucidate specific p38γ/p38δ functions. p38γ/δKIKO mice showed a reduced inflammatory response and less susceptibility to lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced septic shock and Candida albicans infection than wild-type (WT) mice. Gene expression analyses in LPS-activated wild-type and p38γ/δKIKO macrophages revealed that p38γ/p38δ-regulated numerous genes implicated in innate immune response. Additionally, phospho-proteomic analyses and in vitro kinase assays showed that the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor-2D (MEF2D) was phosphorylated at Ser444 via p38γ/p38δ. Mutation of MEF2D Ser444 to the non-phosphorylatable residue Ala increased its transcriptional activity and the expression of Nos2 and Il1b mRNA. These results suggest that p38γ/p38δ govern innate immune responses by regulating MEF2D phosphorylation and transcriptional activity.
An allocentric human odometer for perceiving distances on the ground plane
Authors: Zhou Liu , Wei Wei , Ooi Teng Leng , He Zijiang J
Published: July 2023

We reliably judge locations of static objects when we walk despite the retinal images of these objects moving with every step we take. Here, we showed our brains solve this optical illusion by adopting an allocentric spatial reference frame. We measured perceived target location after the observer walked a short distance from the home base. Supporting the allocentric coding scheme, we found the intrinsic bias , which acts as a spatial reference frame for perceiving location of a dimly lit target in the dark, remained grounded at the home base rather than traveled along with the observer. The path-integration mechanism responsible for this can utilize both active and passive (vestibular) translational motion signals, but only along the horizontal direction. This asymmetric path-integration finding in human visual space perception is reminiscent of the asymmetric spatial memory finding in desert ants, pointing to nature’s wondrous and logically simple design for terrestrial creatures.
Review of feature selection approaches based on grouping of features
Authors: Kuzudisli Cihan , Bakir-Gungor Burcu , Bulut Nurten , Qaqish Bahjat , Yousef Malik
Published: July 2023

With the rapid development in technology, large amounts of high-dimensional data have been generated. This high dimensionality including redundancy and irrelevancy poses a great challenge in data analysis and decision making. Feature selection (FS) is an effective way to reduce dimensionality by eliminating redundant and irrelevant data. Most traditional FS approaches score and rank each feature individually; and then perform FS either by eliminating lower ranked features or by retaining highly-ranked features. In this review, we discuss an emerging approach to FS that is based on initially grouping features, then scoring groups of features rather than scoring individual features. Despite the presence of reviews on clustering and FS algorithms, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first review focusing on FS techniques based on grouping. The typical idea behind FS through grouping is to generate groups of similar features with dissimilarity between groups, then select representative features from each cluster. Approaches under supervised, unsupervised, semi supervised and integrative frameworks are explored. The comparison of experimental results indicates the effectiveness of sequential, optimization-based (i.e., fuzzy or evolutionary), hybrid and multi-method approaches. When it comes to biological data, the involvement of external biological sources can improve analysis results. We hope this work’s findings can guide effective design of new FS approaches using feature grouping.

Authors: Gondaliya Sahil , Mishra Snehal
Published: July 2023

The present study was conducted to achieve four main objectives: identifying cropping patterns, determining disposal patterns of selected crops, analysing the gap between recommended and actual package of practices, and identifying challenges faced by farmers in production and marketing. Data were collected from 150 farmers using a descriptive research design and purposive sampling, with a focus on chilli cultivation in Chhotaudepur and okra in Halol, and potato cultivation in Dahod. The study examined cropping patterns in Chhotaudepur, Halol, and Dahod regions, considering climate, soil, and market factors. Cultivation included crops such as paddy, maize, chilli, okra, wheat, cotton, tomatoes, potato, turmeric, and groundnut. While farmers generally followed recommended sowing time and sowing method for chilli, okra, and potato, deviations in seed treatment, seed rate, and spacing affected yields. Chilli and okra were mainly sold to local agents, while potato sales involved agents, contractors, APMCs, and FPOs. Challenges included high input costs, diseases, transportation issues, and storage limitations. Proposed solutions encompass quality seeds, improved storage, disease-resistant varieties, cost reduction measures, enhanced credit access, and knowledge sharing initiatives.

In 2019 the pandemic Covid-19 caused sharp decline on Indonesian economy, yet in 2021 the economic condition started to recover, indicated by 7% increase in Gross Domestic Product and Consumer Confidence Index. One sector influenced by strong economic recovery is property industry, furthermore government gave stimulus to boost property industry growth. PT B is a leading property developer having various projects and land bank across Indonesia. Post Covid-19 era, the financial performance of PT B showed a good condition, the evidence is the increase in company profitability and decline in the debt. The fundamentals contrast with the stock price as the price declined even in the recovery phase. This condition encourages the writer to do the research on PT B stock valuation and whether the share is classified as overvalued or undervalued. The research will utilize secondary such as financial reports, annual reports, public expose from idx.co.id, and other literature sources. The methodology to process the data is Discounted Cash Flow valuation method to find the actual intrinsic value and value-added intrinsic value, to find the fair value using Net Asset Value valuation method. The added value is a proposal to developing housing projects for Generation Z with goal to increase the company share price. The result is the stock fair value to be IDR 1,312 – 2,554. Finally, the author will determine if the stock of PT B is undervalued or overvalued based on the research results.

An Analytic Case Study of Lentic Ecosystem and Rejuvenation of Bellandur and Varthur Lakes in Bengaluru, India
Authors: Singh Uday Vir
Published: July 2023

Bengaluru, the town of Kempegowda was known as the city of lakes till the sixties decade of the twentieth century now transformed into pools of sewage over the years. The natural drainage system has been completely obliterated in the name of development and resulting in unprecedented floods in the south eastern part of the city during the 2022 monsoon and before. There were 612 lakes (live as well as disused) in the present area of Bengaluru city (except Anekal taluka). It is observed that the rejuvenation of lakes could not be succeeded because of the continuous inflow of sewage in them. Bellandur and Varthur lakes are no exception. Public and judiciary intervention has put pressure on the State to attempt rejuvenation of many lakes. Despite regular monitoring of rejuvenation works in the initial stages by a Committee appointed by National Green Tribunal, the works are not yet completed. Treatment of sewage generated in the catchment  of Belandure and Varthuru lakes is around 453.50 MLD million litter per day (MLD) against the flow of 553 MLD. To regulate the outflow and foam formation, sluice gates are constructed and waste wear are renovated in both lakes. Desilting is a major task among the other works for rejuvenation. The silt removed from Varthuru lake is non-hazardous and used by farmers in their fields but the silt removed from Bellandur lake is dumped in the abandoned stone quaries since being contaminated. The results of soil analysis have been given in various tables. The groundwater is fond non -contaminated. Belandure lake play a role of buffer zone for Varthur lake.

The present investigation was carried out during 2021-22 at Acharya Narendra Deva University of Agriculture & Technology, Kumarganj, Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh). Results revealed that phenotypic characterization of plant growth promoting microbial isolates from rice rhizosphere and phyllosphere have significant effects on physicochemical properties of soil. On the other hand, microbial isolates have a significant effect on microbial biomass carbon (MBC) and total protein content of the soil. Applying microbial isolates has a positive impact on microbial population in terms of total rhizospheric bacterial population (0.77 - 8.4×106 cfu g-1 soil). Whereas, fungal population (1.0 – 51.0 ×103 sfu g-1 and actinomycetes (1.7- 97 ×103 cfu g-1 of soil). Whereas, total number of phyllospheric bacterial population of rice plant leaves and clumps were 0.53- 6.4×106 cfu g-1, leaf fungal population 1.0- 73 ×102 sfu g-1, leaf Actinomycetes population 0.67- 1.2 ×103 cfu g-1. A total of 6 bacterial stains, 2 Actinomycetes and 3 fungal strains were isolated from the rhizospheric soil. Similarly, 4 bacterial stains, 2 Actinomycetes and 2 fungal strains were also isolated from the phyllosphere of the rice field by serial dilution effect on plating techniques. Plant growth promoting (PGP) traits were evaluated. The highest IAA (Indole Acetic Acid) production (23.75μg ml-1) was recorded under the RRS5 (Rice Rhizospheric Sample 5) and followed by RRS3 which was produced at 18.76 μgml-1. The isolated microorganisms can be used as an effective bio inoculant either individually or in different combinations for the formulation of different multi potent biofertilizers for plant growth promotion substances as well as control of plant diseases in rice crop.

The humid tropics is characterized by wet-dry seasonal transitions, irrigation has the potential for building adaptation and resilience to climate stress for enhancing crop performance. A field trial was conducted to investigate the effects of dry season irrigation regimes on water use, root zone moisture dynamics and yield of cacao in a rainforest zone of Nigeria. Irrigation amounts computed as EPan x Pan coefficients were based on cumulative class A Pan evaporation. Irrigation treatments were coded as IrT1 (EPan x 1,0), IrT2 (EPan x 0.7) and IrT3 (EPan x 0.5). Irrigation water was applied 5-days interval and discharged via point source emitters (2.8 l/h discharge rate ) on drip lines laterally installed per row of trees. Mean irrigation requirements were 4.49 mm (9.81:9.6 l/tree/day), 3.14 mm (7.06:6.8 l/tree/day) and 2.44 mm (5.49: 4.8 l/tree/day) while total seasonal water applied were 121.19, 84.83 and 60.59 l/tree for IrT1, IrT2 and IrT3 respectively. Mean soil moisture contents and cacao evapotranspiration (ETc) were 52, 45 and 28 % and 4.54, 3.19 and 2.32 mm/day while evaporation from soil area wetted by emitters (EWz) were 5.65, 2.82 and 0.19 mm/day for respective IrT1, IrT2 and IrT3. The deficit irrigation strategies (IrT2 and 31 IrT3) imposed soil moisture deficit stress on cacao and produced lower pod and bean yields, it however enhanced water use efficiencies (25 and 44 %) and 30 and 50 % water savings. The study established suitable Pan coefficients for scheduling irrigation for cacao yield enhancement and drought (climate stress) amelioration.

The growing resistance of mosquito vectors towards synthetic insecticides constitutes a major challenge in the malaria control and synergistic action of two or more extracts may decrease the risk of insect resistance. For that, the methanolic extracts of Citrus aurantiifolia peels and Lippia chevalieri leaves were tested individually and in combination of Anopheles gambiae larvae at concentrations of 7.5, 15, 22.5 and 30 mg/mL in the laboratory according to the standard protocol of WHO. Extraction yields were 6.72 and 4.62 for C. aurantiifolia and L. chevalieri respectively. Saponins, terpenoids, flavonoids, tannins and polyphenols were present in the extracts of C. aurantiifolia and L. chevalieri. The 2 plants extracts tested individually and combined, caused a significant (P < .001) larvicidal concentration-dependent activity 24 hours’ post-exposure. C. aurantiifolia peels was revealed as the most potent against the mosquito larvae (LC50 = 9.82 mg/mL), while only the binary combination 50%Ca + 50%Lc (CI: 155.22; SF: 1.55) induced a synergistic action against Anopheles gambiae larvae. Thus, the combination 50%Ca + 50%Lc might be recommended as a natural bio-insecticide in mosquito control program to prevent malaria.

IMPORTANCE

Precision oncology using comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) by next-generation sequencing is aimed at companion diagnosis and genomic profiling. The clinical utility of CGP before the standard of care (SOC) is still not resolved, and more evidence is needed.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate the clinical utility of next-generation CGP (FoundationOne CDx [F1CDx]) in patients with previously untreated metastatic or recurrent solid tumors.

DESIGN, Setting, and Participants

This multicenter, prospective, observational cohort study enrolled patients with previously untreated advanced solid tumors between May 18, 2021, and February 16, 2022, with follow-up through August 16, 2022. The study was conducted at 6 hospitals in Japan. Eligible patients were aged 20 years or older and had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 1 with previously untreated metastatic or recurrent cancers in the gastrointestinal or biliary tract; pancreas, lung, breast, uterus, or ovary; and malignant melanoma.

EXPOSURE

Comprehensive genomic profiling testing before SOC for advanced solid tumors.

MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES

Proportion of patients with actionable or druggable genomic alterations and molecular-based recommended therapy (MBRT).

RESULTS

A total of 183 patients met the inclusion criteria and 180 patients (92 men [51.1%]) with a median age of 64 years (range, 23-88 years) subsequently underwent CGP (lung [n = 28], colon/small intestine [n = 27], pancreas [n = 27], breast [n = 25], biliary tract [n = 20], gastric [n = 19], uterus [n = 12], esophagus [n = 10], ovary [n = 6], and skin melanoma [n = 6]). Data from 172 patients were available for end point analyses. Actionable alterations were found in 172 patients (100.0%; 95% CI, 97.9%-100.0%) and druggable alternations were identified in 109 patients (63.4%; 95% CI, 55.7%-70.6%). The molecular tumor board identified MBRT for 105 patients (61.0%; 95% CI, 53.3%-68.4%). Genomic alterations included in the companion diagnostics list of the CGP test were found in 49 patients (28.5%; 95% CI, 21.9%-35.9%) in a tumor-agnostic setting. After a median follow-up of 7.9 months (range, 0.5-13.2 months), 34 patients (19.8%; 95% CI, 14.1%-26.5%) received MBRT.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE

The findings of this study suggest that CGP testing before SOC for patients with advanced solid tumors may be clinically beneficial to guide the subsequent anticancer therapies, including molecularly matched treatments.

Mitochondrial glycolysis and hyperactivity of the phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase–protein kinase B (AKT) pathway are hallmarks of malignant brain tumors. However, kinase inhibitors targeting AKT (AKTi) or the glycolysis master regulator pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDKi) have failed to provide clinical benefits for brain tumor patients. Here, we demonstrate that heterogeneous glioblastoma (GB) and medulloblastoma (MB) cell lines display only cytostatic responses to combined AKT and PDK targeting. Biochemically, the combined AKT and PDK inhibition resulted in the shutdown of both target pathways and priming to mitochondrial apoptosis but failed to induce apoptosis. In contrast, all tested brain tumor cell models were sensitive to a triplet therapy, in which AKT and PDK inhibition was combined with the pharmacological reactivation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) by NZ‐8‐061 (also known as DT‐061), DBK‐1154, and DBK‐1160. We also provide proof‐of‐principle evidence for in vivo efficacy in the intracranial GB and MB models by the brain‐penetrant triplet therapy (AKTi + PDKi + PP2A reactivator). Mechanistically, PP2A reactivation converted the cytostatic AKTi + PDKi response to cytotoxic apoptosis, through PP2A‐elicited shutdown of compensatory mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and by increased proton leakage. These results encourage the development of triple‐strike strategies targeting mitochondrial metabolism to overcome therapy tolerance in brain tumors.
Alignment of subjective and objective driving impairment following alcohol and cannabis use: A systematic review

Published: July 2023

This systematic review investigated the alignment of objective and subjective driving impairment following alcohol and cannabis administration. Under PRISMA guidelines, a literature search was conducted on various research databases. Studies (N = 20) were included if they were within‐subjects designs, included acute alcohol or cannabis administration, and implemented both objective and subjective measures of driving performance. The review revealed that although the current evidence was limited, there was an apparent (albeit inconsistent) alignment between subjective and objective measures of driving impairment for both alcohol and cannabis conditions. Notably, preliminary evidence suggested that heavier alcohol users may be inclined to underestimate their impairment, whilst cannabis users may overestimate the level of their impairment. However, the current literature was considered limited due to the absence of adequate analytical support, the simplistic (and potentially misleading) approaches to measuring impairment, and the lack of inquiry into how interpersonal differences mediate the subjective‐objective relationship.
