Les espaces de l’utopie
Authors: Coste Thomas 
Published: December 2024

Entre les années 1890 et 1930, une cinquantaine de communautés anarchistes ou naturistes ont vu le jour en Europe occidentale. Si ces expériences ont été étudiées localement, aucune recherche ne s’est véritablement intéressée à l’aspect global et transnational de ce phénomène. En examinant comparativement trois de ces projets au début de la période – Eden (Allemagne : 1893), la colonie de Purleigh (Royaume-Uni : 1896-1901) et le milieu libre de Vaux (France : 1903-1907) – cet article s’engage à combler ce manque. Ces utopies s’établissent ainsi à partir d’une critique de la modernité capitaliste matérialisée par le développement du salariat, des villes et des techniques. Elles sont les lieux d’expérimentation de nouvelles manières de vivre visant à transformer les individus et la société. Ces communautés apparaissent alors comme une des manifestations d’un mouvement de contre-culture naissant au tournant du xxe siècle qui trouve sa source dans les propositions politiques naturistes et anarchistes.
Vivre en écolieu, vivre en collectif à la campagne : faire dans, faire avec, faire pour un territoire ?
Authors: de Chevron Villette Gabrielle , Pouzenc Michaël 
Published: December 2024

Cet article porte sur les lieux de vie collectifs, écologiques et alternatifs – ou écolieux – en tant qu’espaces de déploiement du faire autrement. Deux études de cas permettent de voir comment les habitants et habitantes de ces lieux de vie instaurent des espaces-temps particuliers et concilient une recherche d’autonomie avec un nécessaire ancrage dans un territoire d’implantation. L’analyse des manières de faire éclaire ainsi trois modalités d’ancrage territorial des écolieux : faire dans répond à la question « où », amenant à préciser quelles activités sont faites à quel endroit et pour quels motifs, faire avec pose la question des différentes ressources et des réseaux mobilisés dans un territoire, faire pour interroge la capacité des acteurs à prendre en compte l’impact de leurs actions sur le territoire.
Unmasking rhabdomyosarcoma: Fine-needle aspiration cytology evaluation of hand swelling in a 2-year-old girl

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is a malignant soft-tissue sarcoma originating from primitive mesenchymal cells, typically differentiating into skeletal tissue. It is the most common soft-tissue sarcoma in children and represents 3% of childhood malignancies. Despite advances, high-risk and recurrent RMS have poor survival rates with significant long-term toxicities from current therapies. Most cases are sporadic, though some are linked to familial syndromes. This case highlights the importance of early RMS diagnosis, as timely identification can improve management outcomes. The use of fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in this young patient demonstrates a minimally invasive approach, reducing diagnostic delay and associated morbidity. We describe a case of a 2-year-old girl who presented with swelling on the dorsum of the right hand, initially suspected to be a nerve sheath tumour based on radiological findings. FNAC smears showed small round blue cells that mimicked lymphoma on MGG and PAP staining. However, a definitive diagnosis of RMS was made after detailed cytomorphological analysis, supported by immunocytochemistry (ICC) and flow cytometry. This case illustrates the precision and efficacy of FNAC, along with the critical utility of ICC in confirming the diagnosis.
A case of primary thyroid Langerhans cell histiocytosis: A rare entity
Authors: Bali N. Kavitha , Reddy K. Ramakrishna , Rao Kalyan , Stanley Reshma , Bendre Rajesh 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is an uncommon condition marked by an increase in Langerhans cells, a type of dendritic cell, with primary thyroid involvement being particularly rare, representing less than 1% of all cases. In a notable case, a 32-year-old woman exhibited an enlarged thyroid gland and underwent surgical resection, where pathological analysis confirmed the presence of Langerhans cells in her thyroid tissue. Comprehensive systemic evaluations, including imaging and blood tests, showed no signs of multi-systemic involvement, suggesting that the disease was confined to the thyroid. This highlights that primary thyroid LCH, though rare, can mimic symptoms of other thyroid disorders and emphasizes the importance of histological diagnosis over extensive systemic screening when the disease appears localized. Further research is essential to enhance understanding and management strategies for this unique condition.
Incidence of Post-operative Neuropathic Pain in Transoral Thyroidectomy Patients: A Prospective Observational Pilot Study
Authors: Kumar Sanjay , Khuba Sandeep , Banerjee Anwesha , Chand Gyan , Agrawal Ritika 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Introduction:
Thyroid surgery has advanced significantly, but still choice of surgery is controversial due to the relative advantages and disadvantages of open thyroidectomy and endoscopic thyroid surgery (endoscopic thyroidectomy [ET]). This study aims to determine the incidence of post-surgical neuropathic pain after transoral vestibular ET (TOVA-ET).

Methods:
This was a single-centre prospective, observational pilot study. Sixty-five patients underwent TOVA-ET and 50 were followed till 90 days. Incidence, character and the severity of pain were measured using Douleur Neuropathique 4 (DN4) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score.

Results:
On the post-operative day 15, day 30 and day 90, incidences of DN4 pain are 70%, 40% and 24% with median DN4 pain score 5, 3 and 2, respectively, which were also evident to a significant reduction in DN4 pain score between day 15 and day 30, day 15 and day 90 and day 30 and day 90. The mean VAS pain score was 37.8 (day 15), 20.8 (day 30) and 9.7 (day 90). Median VAS pain score was 40 (day 15), 20 (day 30) and 10 (day 90) and difference between time points was statistically significant (P < 0.001), followed by multiple comparisons indicated a significant reduction in pain score between day 15 and day 30, day 15 and day 90 and day 30 and day 90 (each P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
TOVA-ET has a significant incidence of post-surgical neuropathic pain, commonly brushing, pins and needle sensation in the mouth, affecting quality of life. Although pain scores reduce significantly over time, these complaints are often ignored in the shadows of other seemingly important post-operative concerns. This study will delineate the alarming complication that needs adequate attention.

Context and objective. Urinary screening is a useful and inexpensive tool for the early detection of urinary abnormalities in asymptomatic children. This might contribute to the prevention of chronic kidney disease later in life. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of urinary abnormalities among school children in the town of Kisantu. Methods. In a cross-sectional study, apparently healthy children aged 6 to 16 years were randomly recruited from 7 schools. Using dipstick test, recorded parameters of interest were proteinuria, hematuria, urinary tract infection (defined as nitrite positive and/or leukocyte positive). Logistic regression was used to assess the determinants of urinary abnormalities in this population. Results. Out of 253 children, the prevalence of urinary abnormalities was 51.8% (131/253). Twenty-four (9.5%) presented with hematuria and only 1 (0.4 %) presented with proteinuria on dipstick. Urinary tract infection was found in 123 children (48.6 %). In multivariate regression analysis, female sex emerged as the major determinant of urinary tract infection (OR 2.79, CI 95 % 1.67 – 4.65). Conclusion. This campaign showed the significant presence of urinary abnormalities and more particularly urinary tract infection in apparently healthy children in a rural school setting. Hence the importance of urine screening for prevention and early management of kidney diseases.

Published: December 2024

The relationship between learning styles and academic performance (AP) was investigated in first semester students of the Nursing career of a tertiary and technological education institute of the Metropolitan District of Pichincha, Ecuador. The work corresponds to a quantitative research, based on a non-experimental design, under the modality of a case study, which had a relational scope. A probabilistic sample of 107 subjects from the first semester was selected. The questionnaire used was the CHAEA (Alonso et al., 1999), which explores 4 learning styles through 80 items, assigning 20 items per dimension. The responses are dichotomous, assessing the presence or absence of the attribute. The ratings summarizing academic performance (AP) were explored through 4 levels (Insufficient to Very good). Scores were identified for each style and a calculation of frequencies and percentages by levels was made from the ratings. The association contrast required the design of contingency tables and subsequently the application of Pearson's Chi2 test. The presence of the four learning styles was observed, having higher prevalence Ref-S and Theo-S; both with 103 cases, followed by the Prag-S style. This indicates that students perceive that they learn in a reflective manner, privileging logical thinking, and practical applications and problem solving. No association was found with AP. This differs from what has been reported in the literature, which calls for a review of the contextual elements.
What’s art got to do with it?
Authors: Anttila Eeva 
Published: December 2024

This article focuses on the meaning of art in embodied language learning. It tackles questions about how art works, what art is good for or—as the heading states— What's art got to do with it?​ The connection between language and embodiment has been established, and the role of art in enhancing learning in various ways has been discussed widely. While this article acknowledges the claims on the educational power of art in existing literature, the guiding question of how art works—especially in educational situations related to language learning—is deliberately open regarding assessable (language) learning outcomes. The article begins by discussing the author’s methodological approach that draws from the notions of sense, sensing, and seeing. This discussion is followed by sections on language, including (trans)languaging, art, and arts education. The author then moves towards practice and, within it, the notion of ‘glowing’ moments, in which she leans on her earlier work related to ‘physical expressive space’​ and the methodological approach and theoretical concepts presented earlier. She takes a closer look at a videotaped excerpt from an art pedagogical project, in which she attends to its material, sensory, and affective elements. Through this inquiry, the author proposes that the notion of (trans)languaging is pivotal to understanding and articulating how art works in educational situations related to language learning and beyond. In closing the article, the author asserts that artistic practice is (trans)languaging and further, that arts education is language education.
The Indian Liberating Army
Authors: Witgen Michael John 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
In August of 1836, General James Dickson’s Indian Liberating Army, made up of predominantly mixed-race men, attempted to filibuster California from the newly independent nation-state of Mexico to found an American Indian empire. Although Dickson’s mission ultimately failed, the details of his story illuminate the contrasting colonial visions of Great Britain and the new U.S. Republic. While Great Britain maintained an ongoing relationship with its colonial subjects in Canada, which included Indigenous peoples organized as subordinate but allied Native nations, the United States, in contrast, upheld a settler colonial ideology that envisioned citizens of the Republic eliminating the Indigenous population, replacing or supplanting the Natives with its own settlers. For the mixed-race members of the Indian Liberating Army, the North American West seemed to offer the possibility of a Native polity that was independent of either Canada or the United States.
A Nation of Settlers
Authors: Witgen Michael John 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The notion that Native peoples could claim a title to their homelands but not own that land as private property was the guiding principle for early western expansion. European powers, and later the United States, made this claim because they asserted that Native peoples were not part of the civilized world but rather lived in a state of nature. In order to rationalize possession of Indian country, the United States would therefore need to control the immigration of settlers to Native lands. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 was designed to facilitate the sale and settlement of land in the public domain under a legal regime recognizable by the United States, creating the legal mechanism for the orderly transfer of Native land to white property holders. Indigenous strategies of resistance made it clear that the United States would need to negotiate a cession of Native title to any lands it claimed as part of the public domain of the Republic. Despite repeated attempts to remove Native peoples from their homelands, such as the implementation of the Indian Removal Act, by the early nineteenth century there was no escaping the reality of Native peoples, cementing their place in the national mythology.
The Civilizing Mission, Women’s Labor, and the Mixed-Race Families of the Old Northwest
Authors: Witgen Michael John 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Traders and the mixed-race population that engaged in the fur trade became one of the principal means by which the government, federal and territorial, could influence the largely Indigenous population northwest of Detroit. Missionaries, sent by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM) to educate the mixed-race children of the American fur company employees, worked to foster a sense of national identity among these nascent citizens who lived at the American Fur Company posts. Fur traders, often French Canadian or British immigrants, were recognized as settler-citizens. Similarly, the Indigenous and mixed-race wives and children of American Fur Company employees were also recognized as American citizens. Traders and missionaries understood that marriage, especially to Indigenous or mixed-race women, was a necessary condition for success because of the crucial domestic and linguistic labor Native women provided. At odds with goals of the ABCFM, the U.S. government was not concerned about the civilization of the Odawaag and Ojibweg but rather wanted to convert their homeland into public domain to sell to white settlers. With statehood looming and the settler population booming, Henry Schoolcraft pressured the Anishinaabeg to sell their lands and accept new territory west of the Mississippi.
Justice Weighed in Two Scales
Authors: Witgen Michael John 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
On New Year’s Day in 1837, an Anishinaabe man named Chigawaasking shot and killed a mixed-race man named Alfred Aitkin. Alfred’s murder and the confusion about how to punish Chigawaasking created significant political volatility and the potential for racialized violence, revealing the limits of American sovereignty in the Northwest Territory. Whether Chigawaasking would be convicted or let go hinged on whether the jury would recognize Alfred Aitkin as a mixed-race man or as a Native man. The court’s decision made a distinction between the uncivilized world of Native peoples and the civilized world of the settler colonial state. When these two worlds overlapped, the sovereignty of the settler state superseded any claims of Indigenous autonomy or sovereignty. While the courts allowed that Native peoples were excluded from American civil society, they also established that Native peoples were not alien residents living within U.S. territory. American Indians would not become part of the settler state if they continued to live as Indigenous people, and therefore they could not become citizens of the United States.
The More Things Change, the More They Stay the Same
Authors: Witgen Michael John 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The legacy of politically excluding Native peoples from the social contract of the U.S. Republic legally ended in 1924 with the Indian Citizenship Act, which granted citizenship to Native peoples born in the United States. However, this did not mark the end of the federal government’s legacy of dispossessing Native peoples of their land. Rather, the line can be traced through to the present, with the U.S. government’s sanction of the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline under the Missouri River near the Standing Rock reservation.
Introduction
Authors: Pite Rebekah E. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The introductory chapter of the book introduces readers to the transnational history of yerba mate in South America, with a specific focus on the Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay) where this drink is most popular. It compares the trajectory of this stimulating plant to others like coffee and tea, and establishes its importance within the emergent field of food history. It presents the ways in which this incorporative ritual has facilitated the processes of community formation and identity construction, creating a sense of belonging for many newcomers to the region. Tracing the yerba mate commodity chain from production to promotion to consumption enriches our understanding of the difference it made (and did not make) that this regional commodity largely stayed within South America, primarily serving local interests and consumers rather than those in the Global North.
Establishing Mate Hierarchies in Would-Be Nations, 1810s–1860s
Authors: Pite Rebekah E. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This chapter tells the story of how the Wars of Independence from Spain and their contentious aftermath shaped the markets and meanings for yerba mate, infusing them with new politics. With the disruption of the colonial bureaucracy and marketplace, new economies emerged and competed with one another. Southern Brazil became a major producer and exporter of the so-called herb from Paraguay, especially to the lower Río de la Plata region. Drawing from European travelers’ reports, readers gain access to specific, sensorial descriptions of the mate ritual. These reports also help establish that the nearly universal practice of drinking mate changed little with independence in regions that preserved their access to yerba. In contrast, the intensifying flurry of visual representations of the mate ritual reveal a dramatic shift in the symbolic meanings associated with the local drink. The visual culture surrounding the mate ceremony reveals the way in which racialized hierarchies—alongside the overlapping hierarchies of gender and class—assumed greater visibility and symbolic power in representations of White elites’ domestic spaces and the domestic work of servants of African and indigenous descent (or those racialized as Black and Brown) in the early national era. Such quotidian inequalities persisted alongside dramatic attempts by creole men to exercise and consolidate their political power in would-be nations.
Selling Yerba/Erva Mate as Modern in Argentina and Brazil, 1900s–1960s
Authors: Pite Rebekah E. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The journey of this chapter starts with Brazil and Argentina’s battles over yerba/erva mate at the level of exports and policy. As we shall see, the growth of Argentine yerba production not only worried Brazilian producers and ultimately limited Brazilian exports to Argentina, but also spurred promotional campaigns within Brazil. We then shift our attention to conflicts within Argentina between northeastern planters and central millers—neither of whom felt fully satisfied with the outcome. Finally, we will turn to promotional campaigns by specific brands that ushered in a new era of directly targeting consumers, transforming the visual culture of mate drinking made visible in magazine advertisements, on store shelves, and beyond. In contrast to previous artwork, the specific people behind this new era of explicitly commercial, branded visual sources are generally unknowable, even as their output dramatically changed how people across the region saw, purchased, and thought about yerba mate.
