Psychanalyse et science : essai de typologie
Authors: Evrard Renaud 
Published: April 2020

La question de la scientificité de la psychanalyse est à la fois une question posée par les non-psychanalystes et par ceux qui se situent dans ce vaste champ. Plusieurs courants se distinguent dans leur façon d’appréhender cette question. Pour saisir leurs points de convergence et de divergence, nous avons élaboré six interrogations qui fonctionnent comme autant de bifurcations épistémologiques. Nous repérons ensuite comment six courants se positionnent par rapport à ces interrogations : les Sceptiques, les Herméneutes, la position de Freud, celle des Freudiens, celle des Lacaniens, enfin, celle des Psychologues cliniciens. Au-delà des effets réducteurs d’un tel essai de typologie, nous concluons que ces différences de positionnement appellent des analyses différentes. La position freudienne d’une compatibilité entre science et psychanalyse n’est plus soutenue avec la même assurance, et s’est muée globalement dans une position qui permet d’interroger les conditions épistémologiques d’une science qui inclurait la psychanalyse.
Héros et saints : un autre (trans)humanisme
Authors: Biancu Stefano 
Published: April 2020

En 1936, dans Humanisme intégral , Maritain se demandait si l’humanisme, qui « tend essentiellement à rendre l’homme plus vraiment humain, et à manifester sa grandeur originelle », ne serait un humanisme caractérisé « par l’amour » et « nourri aux sources héroïques de la sainteté ». En 1958, James Urmson publie « Saints and Heroes », un article destiné à ouvrir un débat, toujours en cours en philosophie, au sujet de la catégorie de surérogatoire. Dans cette contribution, je me propose de montrer que le surérogatoire, le domaine de l’excédent incarné emblématiquement par les figures du saint et du héros, est un excédent non exigible et cependant nécessaire pour une existence humaine pleine et entière. En ce sens, il représente une forme possible de transhumanisme qui serait en mesure d’accomplir la tâche que Maritain reconnaissait pour l’humanisme : rendre l’homme plus vraiment humain.
Les échecs de la compréhension
Authors: Canullo Carla 
Published: April 2020

Qu’en est-il de l’herméneutique après ce que Jean Greisch nommait « l’âge herméneutique de la raison » ? Serait-elle une discipline dont le moment s’est désormais achevé ou bien aurait-elle encore des puissances à déployer ? Cet article cherche à répondre à ces questions en abordant la compréhension à l’aune de ses échecs, le faisant par le recours à des auteurs qui ne se sont pas réclamés de la tradition herméneutique (Jean Nabert, Albert Camus, Kierkegaard). Pour ce faire, à partir de l’échec nabertien montrant au moi son inégalité, et dans le but de saisir où notre condition herméneutique et interprétante s’enracine, on placera la compréhension entre l’amour et la polémique, à savoir entre les deux pôles qui, l’un et l’autre, nous montrent que notre inégalité à nous-mêmes est la marque de l’Autre qui nous donne de demeurer à jamais « entre ». Cet Autre de notre condition existentielle qui à chaque fois nous oblige à passer. Cet Autre grâce auquel l’échec est la marque de la fécondité incompréhensible de la compréhension.

Published: April 2020

Background:
There is a definite need to identify markers that could offer greater discrimination of high- and low-risk patients within the general population at risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We tried to estimate the cardiovascular (CV) risk using novel imaging markers and compared them with traditional risk scores and biochemical markers. The study aimed at (1) evaluating the estimation of anthropometric, biochemical measurements (body surface area, body mass index, and lipid profile) along with novel imaging markers carotid intima-media thickness test (CIMT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) for subclinical atherosclerosis carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) for vascular stiffness; (2) comparing anthropometric markers, biochemical markers, and imaging markers in the study population with clinical risk prediction algorithms (American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association [ACC/AHA] atherosclerotic CVD [ASCVD] Risk Calculator).

Materials and Methods:
This was a prospective cross-sectional study done at a tertiary-level cardiac facility for a duration of 3 months. The study population consisted of apparently healthy individuals between the age group of 40 and 65 years. Persons with established ASCVD, chronic liver disease, chronic kidney disease, history of diabetes mellitus, or hypertension >7 years were excluded from the study.

Results:
Two hundred and seventy-seven individuals were included and divided into two groups based on the ACC/AHA ASCVD Risk Calculator. Individuals with <5% risk of ASCVD death/myocardial infarction/stroke over 10 years were included in low-risk group while individuals with 5%–15% risk of ASCVD death/myocardial infarction/stroke over 10 years were included in moderate-risk group. The relationship of these imaging parameters with ACC/AHA risk score was 8%, 16%, and 30% for CIMT, EAT, and CFPWV, respectively, whereas for total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (TC/HDL) ratio, it was 13% meaning that CIMT and TC/HDL ratio have weak correlation as compared to EAT and CFPWV. Inter-marker correlation with ACC/AHA Risk Calculator was 30% (P < 0.0001) for CFPWV, 16% (P = 0.008) for EAT, 13% (P = 0.026) for TC/HDL ratio, and 8% (P = 0.181) for CIMT. Multivariate regression showed that age, mean arterial blood pressure, history of diabetes mellitus, and EAT remain statistically significant parameters.

Conclusion:
Our study results suggested that both EAT and CFPWV measurements add incremental value over traditional methods for ASCVD risk stratification and should be of additional value over traditional methods for estimating ASCVD risk of an individual.

Published: April 2020

Background:
The importance of the right ventricle as a determinant of exercise capacity and its significant prognostic value in the evaluation of surgical outcomes has been largely proven. In this study, we sought to explore the effect of off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery (OPCAB) on right ventricular (RV) function by the different methods of RV functional assessment on transthoracic echocardiography.

Materials and Methods:
This is a prospective cohort study. All patients undergoing elective OPCAB were included in the study from July 1, 2016, to October 1, 2016 after an informed consent. Their preoperative, postoperative day 4, and postoperative 2-month transthoracic echocardiographic RV and left ventricular functions were evaluated and analyzed.

Results:
A total of 48 patients undergoing OPCAB were included in this study. The mean age of the cohort was 57.2 ± 8 years. About 85.4% (41) were males. Overall, there is a significant time effect observed in RV ejection fraction (RVEF), with a significant decline from preoperative to postoperative value and a significant increase from postoperative day 4 to postoperative 2-month value. Although RVEF was lower throughout the study in patients with events than those without events, this difference was not statistically significant.

Conclusion:
In this Indian cohort of patients undergoing OPCAB, there is a significant drop in RVEF, RV tissue Doppler, tricuspid annular peak systolic excursion on postoperative day 4, and also a significant increase in these values over the next 2 months though not reaching the basal value. Hence, suggesting that the drop in RV function is temporary and recovers over time in patients undergoing OPCAB. Patients with events had a lower RVEF when compared to those without events suggesting prognostication.
Global Longitudinal Strain in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Post-Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Authors: Mahajan Swati , Sanghvi Sanjeev , Sarda Pawan , Yadav Pal Singh 
Published: April 2020

Background:
Routinely, two-dimensional (2D) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is used to assess the left ventricular (LV) systolic function. Lately, global longitudinal peak systolic strain (GLPSS) has emerged to be a more sensitive tool for assessing LV systolic function. We aimed to assess the superiority of GLPSS by 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) before and within 48 h after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) over 2D-LVEF calculated using the Simpson's biplane method of disks.

Materials and Methods:
A total of 70 patients with STEMI who underwent PCI were included in this study, which was conducted in the Department of Cardiology, MDM hospital, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India, between November 2018 and February 2019. Patients having preexisting cardiomyopathy, moderate-to-severe valvular heart disease, morbid obesity, and poor echocardiographic window were excluded from the study. Echocardiography before and within 48 h of PCI was done. 2D-LVEF was calculated using Simpson's method. GLPSS was assessed using the automated function imaging technique.

Results:
Post-PCI GLPSS increased significantly compared to pre-PCI value (−17.68 vs. −16.65;P < 0.002). 2D-LVEF, on the contrary, did not show any significant increase post-PCI (40.1 vs. 40.57;P = 0.98). Furthermore, the improvement in the average GLPSS was significantly higher when the target vessel revascularized was nonleft anterior descending (LAD) than LAD (−18.32 vs. −17.46;P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
The assessment of LV systolic function after PCI in patients with STEMI was superior with GLPSS when compared to 2D LVEF. As strain imaging is an inexpensive tool, it can be applied easily to assess LV function in the large subset of population.
LA POESÍA DE JUAN MALPARTIDA COMO CONSTRUCCIÓN DE SENTIDO
Authors: ABRIL PALACIOS Juan Carlos 
Published: April 2020

Resumen: La obra poética de Juan Malpartida no se ajusta al canon español de las últimas décadas. La perspectiva que otorga su obra poética reunida se vincula a la modernidad de la que habla Octavio Paz, las corrientes europeas de vanguardia, y no al realismo, tan característico de España. Su poesía busca la construcción del sentido a través de una semiosfera —en términos lotmanianos— que indaga en la arqueología del sable, tal y como quería Foucault. Se ponen en otra dirección semántica los símbolos, en su mayoría bisémicos, y las palabras, motivadas por la influencia de otras tradiciones. De este modo se articula la interdisciplinariedad de otras artes,su transversalidad, la lectura mitocrítica de la cotidianidad, la relación gestáltica entre teoría y práctica, la función cognitiva de la escritura, o la reflexión metapoética.

Effect of Propolis Coating on Oil Uptake and Quality Properties of Fried Potato (Solanum tuberosum) Strips
Authors: Jafarin Sara , Mohammadnejad Pooya 
Published: April 2020

The use of edible coatings is a suitable method to reduce oil uptake in fried foods. In this research, the effects of propolis gum on the physicochemical properties of fried potato strip were evaluated.
The propolis coating was performed at three concentrations 1%, 1.5%, 2% w/v. Potato strips were dipped in the coating solutions followed by air drying. Viscosity of coating was measured in two shear rate 0.048 and 62.11 1/s. The treatments were fried in canola oil and analyzed for fat uptake and moisture retention.
One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used and mean comparison was performed by Duncan’s new multiple range test.
The results showed that by increasing in shear rate, viscosity of coating was decreased. By increasing in propolis concentration, the coating pick up, moisture content, frying yield, were increased while oil uptake were decreased.
According to the results, 2% concentration propolis gum reduced oil absorption in fried potato strips. Due to their facility to use, propolis gum suggested for coating and usage in industrial potato fries production.

Introduction: Renal oncocytomas are benign tumours arising from the intercalated cells of the collecting ducts and account for 3% to 7% of primary renal tumours. It was first described by Zippel in 1942. Oncocytomas are mostly asymptomatic and often discovered incidentally. They are often diagnosed postoperatively due to clinical and radiographic challenges in differentiating them from renal cell carcinoma.
Presentation of Case: The present study reports two cases of renal oncocytoma in a 61‑year‑old man who was asymptomatic and a 73‑year‑old woman who was symptomatic. Relevant clinical and imaging data on the two patients were reviewed. Both patients underwent nephrectomy via flank incisions.
Discussion: The typical morphologic features of oncocytoma were observed on histological examination of the excised kidney speci­mens. The postoperative course of each patient was uneventful and they were discharged 14 and 6-days post‑surgery, respec­tively. In addition, the present study reviews the literature regarding the clinical, radiological and pathological characteristics of renal oncocytoma.
Conclusion: Renal oncocytoma though is benign and has an excellent prognosis, the preoperative diagnostic challenges invariable warranted radical nephrectomy.
Optimization of Some Nutritional Conditions and α- Ketoglutaric Acid Concentration as PGA Precursor for Maximizing PGA Production from Bacillus sp. 42 and Bacillus sonorensis 44
Authors: Ahmed Rania F. 
Published: April 2020

Poly gamma glutamic acid is a biodegradable, water soluble and non-toxic edible biopolymer, PGA has nylon back bone similar structure and expressed as bio-nylon. Various bacterial strains produced PGA on of them Bacillus sp. such as B. subtilis, B. lichanformans and B. sonorensis. Polymer yield was affected with medium composition as nitrogen and carbon sources. The current experimental was carried out using shake flask technique for PGA production during 72 of fermentation. The highest biomass was achieved at glycerol media and glucose media for PGA yield and productivity being 2.31, 9.65 gl-1 and 0.134 gl-1h-1, respectively of B. sonorensis 44. Of nitrogen source, organic source (yeast extract) was higher PGA yield and productivity than inorganic sources (NH4NO3) which reduced PGA yield about 28.7 and 36.02% of Bacillus sp. 42 and B. sonorensis 44, respectively. Production media supple- mented with 0.5 and 0.75 gl-1 α-keto-glutaric acid increased PGA yield about 1.24fold for both Bacillus strains. Osmotic pressure of 2.55 MPa (3% NaCl) enhanced PGA yield about 1.18 and 1.24fold of Bacillus sp. 42 and B. sonorensis 44, respectively. Furthermore, the highest PGA was received using medium containing glucose and yeast extract (as C and N2 sources). α-keto-glutaric acid and osmotic potential has an induction effect for polymer accumulation.

AbstractPurposeThis study investigated the use of high spatial resolution solid‐state detectors (DUO and Octa) combined with an inclinometer for machine‐based quality assurance (QA) of Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) with flattened and flattening filter‐free beams.MethodThe proposed system was inserted in the accessory tray of the gantry head of a Varian 21iX Clinac and a Truebeam linear accelerator. Mutual dependence of the dose rate (DR) and gantry speed (GS) was assessed using the standard Varian customer acceptance plan (CAP). The multi‐leaf collimator (MLC) leaf speed was evaluated under static gantry conditions in directions parallel and orthogonal to gravity as well as under dynamic gantry conditions. Measurements were compared to machine log files.ResultsDR and GS as a function of gantry angle were reconstructed using the DUO/inclinometer and in agreement to within 1% with the machine log files in the sectors of constant DR and GS. The MLC leaf speeds agreed with the nominal speeds and those extracted from the machine log files to within 0.03 cm s−1. The effect of gravity on the leaf motion was only observed when the leaves traveled faster than the nominal maximum velocity stated by the vendor. Under dynamic gantry conditions, MLC leaf speeds ranging between 0.33 and 1.42 cm s−1 were evaluated. Comparing the average MLC leaf speeds with the machine log files found differences between 0.9% and 5.7%, with the largest discrepancy occurring under conditions of fastest leaf velocity, lowest DR and lowest detector signal.ConclusionsThe investigation on the use of solid‐state detectors in combination with an inclinometer has demonstrated the capability to provide efficient and independent verification of DR, GS, and MLC leaf speed during dynamic VMAT delivery. Good agreement with machine log files suggests the detector/inclinometer system is a useful tool for machine‐specific VMAT QA.
Does potentially mineralizable nitrogen predict maize yield in newly cropped soil?

Published: April 2020

AbstractFallow soils converted to crop use have unpredictable soil organic nitrogen (SON) availability during the growing season, which incentivizes over‐applying fertilizer N by way of compensation. Potentially mineralizable nitrogen (PMN) is a soil health indicator, and its increase is a management strategy to meet crop N demands. How well does PMN predict yield in transition, periods from fallow to crop, especially when conservation practices are imposed simultaneously? In a short‐term study, conducted in Madison County, Kentucky (37.85 N, 84.29 W) from 2015 to 2017, we tested the hypothesis that implementing conservation practices (use of cover crops and manure) during the transition period would mitigate adverse effects on N availability by increasing PMN and significantly benefit maize (Zea mays L.) grain yield. Six treatments were used: (a) an unamended control; (b) cover crops; (c) horse manure; (d) cover crops and horse manure; (e) chemical fertilizer; and (f) cover crops and chemical fertilizer. Soils were sampled after cover crop termination, before manure or fertilizer application in spring, and at fall harvest each year and analyzed for PMN. The seasonal PMN and maize grain yield were influenced by cover crops and manure (p < .05). Maize grain yield had a positive response to cover crops but not manure. The correlation between PMN and grain yield, though positive, was very weak (R2 = .03). We conclude that conservation practices, particularly cover crops, in the transition period can benefit PMN and crop yield, but PMN is not a good predictor of yield during transition stages.

AbstractThe Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) may provide insight into how conservation practices affect soil quality (SQ) regionally. Therefore, we aimed to quantify SQ in a long‐term (15‐yr) crop rotation and bio‐covers experiment under no‐tillage using SMAF. Main effects were cropping rotations of soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], corn (Zea mays L.), and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.). Split‐block bio‐cover treatments consisted of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), Austrian winter pea (Pisum sativum L. sativum var. arvense), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth), poultry litter, and fallow (control). Seven SQ indicators—soil pH, total organic carbon (TOC), bulk density (BD), soil extractable P and K, electrical conductivity (EC), and sodium adsorption ration (SAR)—were scored using SMAF algorithms, and investigated individually and as an overall soil quality index (SQI). Simple linear regressions were performed between SQI and crop yields. Differences (p < .05) in SQI within rotations varied when analyzed across and by depth. Overall, cotton–corn and/or continuous corn had greater SQI than soybean‐based rotations. Poultry litter had the greatest TOC, pH, K, and BD scores at the 0‐ to 15‐cm soil depth, and the lowest SQI. Reductions in SQI within bio‐covers were linked to P scores. A positive relationship was found between SQI and cotton yield at the 15‐ to 30‐cm soil depth (R2 = .48; p < .05). Investigating SMAF scores individually and separately per depth addresses the effects of long‐term conservation practices on SQ. Overall, SMAF can be used to develop best management practices and nutrient management strategies.
