Published: December 2019

AbstractTransitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) of lacrimal sac are extremely uncommon neoplasms with high degree of invasiveness, local recurrence, and distant metastasis despite an aggressive treatment. They generally present with epiphora and lacrimal mass lesion but rarely dacryohemorrhea or bloody tears. We hereby report a 50-year-old female who presented with complaints of epiphora, blood in tears, and a progressive swelling measuring 8 cm × 5 cm over left lacrimal sac site. Biopsy from the swelling revealed TCC of lacrimal sac. Radiographic imaging showed a localized mass lesion lacrimal sac eroding adjacent structures, left orbital extension, and left cervical lymphadenopathy without any intracranial extension or distant metastasis. She underwent wide local excision of the primary lesion with left orbital exenteration, left partial maxillectomy, left anterior ethmoidectomy, and left forehead flap reconstruction followed by adjuvant conformal radiotherapy to local site to a dose of 60 Gy and ipsilateral neck to 50 Gy. Combined modality therapy showed satisfactory cosmesis and overall improved functionality on her first review at 6 weeks, however she lost to further follow-up. A thorough review of literature reveals that our case may be one of the largest TCC of lacrimal sac ever reported and the third case to present with dacryohemorrhea in world literature till date.

Abstract
Context: The non-Hodgkin's lymphomas (NHLs) are lymphoid neoplasms that arise primarily in the lymph nodes. They are classified into B-cell, T-cell, and natural killer cell types and are subtyped on the basis of morphologic and immunohistochemical studies. T-cell neoplasms are clonal tumors of mature and immature T-cells at various stages of differentiation. T-cell lymphoma is common in Asia compared to Europe and America. The pattern and prevalence of T-cell lymphoma in India are, however, different from that of other Asian countries. Aims: The main aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence and pattern of T-cell NHL in North East India, as less number of studies have been carried out in this part of the country. Settings and Design: A 5-year retrospective study (2012–2016) was carried out in our institute, which is a regional cancer center located in North East India. Materials and Methods: Five-year records of previously diagnosed cases were obtained, and then the hematoxylin- and eosin-stained sections and the immunohistochemistry slides were reviewed and studied. Results: A total number of 294 cases of NHL were reviewed in the study period. Seventy-one cases were found to be of T-cell NHL type which comprised 24% of the total NHL. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma not-otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) (62%) was the most common followed by anaplastic large cell lymphoma (27%). T-lymphoblastic lymphoma (7%) was common in children and young adults. Conclusion: PTCL-(NOS) was found to be the most common T-cell lymphoma. Treatment of most of the cases was by chemotherapy using the cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone regimen.

Carcass and meat quality traits of male and female lambs are important considerations in planning gender-based production and developing a marketing strategy for the product. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the effects of sex on carcass and meat quality of Kivircik and Karacabey Merino lambs. Twenty male and 17 female lambs were used. Lambs were weaned at 45 days old and then fed ad libitum with concentrates and roughage until slaughter at 120 days. The study was carried out in two experiments at three-month intervals. Kivircik lambs had greater dressing percentage (47.96% vs 46.49%, P <0.05) and omental-mesenteric fat proportion (1.71% vs 1.10%, P <0.01), while Karacabey Merino lambs had a greater proportion of skin (11.14% vs 9.42%, P =0.001). Breed had no influence on water-holding capacity, shear force, L* and hue values (P >0.05). The meat of Karacabey Merino lambs had greater a*, b* and chroma values after blooming for 24 hours than meat from Kivircik lambs. Male lambs had greater proportions of head (5.39% vs 4.62%, P <0.001), feet (2.65% vs 2.46%, P <0.01) and visceral organs (4.53% vs 4.15%, P <0.05), while females had a greater proportion of visceral fat (1.76% vs 1.05%, P =0.001). Meat from female lambs was darker than meat from male lambs. In conclusion, under intensive conditions, the indigenous Kivircik breed had similar carcass and meat quality characteristics to the Karacabey Merino, a wool and meat breed.

Political Manipulation and Internet Advertising Infrastructure
Authors: Crain Matthew , Nadler Anthony 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Disinformation and other forms of manipulative, antidemocratic communication have emerged as a problem for Internet policy. While such operations are not limited to electoral politics, efforts to influence and disrupt elections have created significant concerns. Data-driven digital advertising has played a key role in facilitating political manipulation campaigns. Rather than stand alone incidents, manipulation operations reflect systemic issues within digital advertising markets and infrastructures. Policy responses must include approaches that consider digital advertising platforms and the strategic communications capacities they enable. At their root, these systems are designed to facilitate asymmetrical relationships of influence.

Published: December 2019

Dans le présent article, il est question de décrire les activités marchandes des cardeurs sur les cryptomarchés au moyen d’un échantillon de 17 619 annonces de produits ou de services relatifs aucardingainsi que d’un second échantillon recensant les activités de 4 294 vendeurs. Notre démarche s’attache plus précisément à constater si l’avènement des cryptomarchés, comme lieu de convergence pour les cybercriminels, a eu un impact sur l’offre et la demande de tels produits et services. Pour mener à bien cet objectif, une typologie des différents produits et services est réalisée. Dans un premier temps, des analyses descriptives, mettant en lumière les proportions des différents types ainsi que la distribution des prix affichés par les annonces, permettent d’offrir un regard sur l’impact des technologies d’anonymat sur l’offre de produits et services. Dans un second temps, des analyses descriptives des transactions effectuées par les vendeurs sont réalisées pour examiner leur impact sur la demande de produits et services. Les principaux résultats indiquent que les cryptomarchés offrent tout le nécessaire pour commettre les trois étapes du script criminel ducarding. De plus, il est aussi montré que, comme dans le cas des vendeurs de drogue en ligne, le système d’évaluation formel a permis de transcender et d’améliorer les processus générateurs de confiance.
Étude sur l’impact d’un délai d’effacement automatique pour les profils ADN de personnes prévenues

Published: December 2019

Depuis plus de 30 ans, les traces ADN contribuent significativement aux investigations criminelles, grâce notamment à la mise en place de banques de données génétiques. Si leur utilité est amplement reconnue, certains aspects – comme la durée de conservation du profil des individus – continuent à alimenter les débats, de par les implications en matière d’atteinte au droit de la personne. En Suisse, la durée de rétention dépend de l’issue de la procédure judiciaire, ce qui complexifie la procédure d’effacement. La définition d’un délai d’effacement automatique constituerait donc une solution intéressante pour simplifier la procédure, tout en garantissant l’efficacité de la trace ADN et le droit à l’oubli. Cette étude vise donc à déterminer s’il est possible de supprimer le profil ADN d’un individu de la banque de données sans que cela nuise à l’élucidation d’enquêtes futures et, le cas échéant, de proposer un délai d’effacement automatique le plus opportun. À la suite des résultats de l’étude de Girardet (2014) sur l’application des délais d’effacement en Suisse, trois échéances – 5, 8 et 10 ans – ont été retenues dans la présente étude. Issu de la banque de données ADN suisse, l’échantillon utilisé comprenait les données sur les prélèvements ADN réalisés (N = 106 346) et sur les traces biologiques identifiées (N = 16 516) entre 2005 et 2014 dans quatre cantons suisses. Les résultats obtenus montrent que l’effacement des profils n’affecte pas l’identification des traces. En effet, 80 % des identifications surviennent dans l’année qui suit l’enregistrement du profil génétique du prévenu, le solde étant identifié dans un délai de 10 ans au plus. Quant aux infractions dont les traces ont été identifiées au-delà d’un délai de 5 ans (N = 313), ou de 8 ans (N = 36), il apparaît que la grande majorité de ces affaires ont trait à des infractions contre le patrimoine, même si on relève également quelques cas d’atteinte à la personne. Ainsi, en se fondant sur le jeu de données mises à disposition, les résultats de cette étude montrent qu’un délai automatique de 10 ans assurerait à satisfaction l’efficacité de l’exploitation de la banque de données, tout en respectant la proportionnalité de la pratique.
Lorsque le crime rapporte

Published: December 2019

Les activités criminelles font partie de la catégorie des activités de la vie sociale sur lesquelles pèse une certaine stigmatisation. Des recherches en criminologie ont cependant démontré que les personnes qui exercent ces activités en retirent des bénéfices : gains financiers, reconnaissance symbolique et apprentissages variés. Si des écrits exposent les apprentissages réalisés pour pouvoir exercer ces activités criminelles, peu d’écrits se penchent sur les apprentissages réalisés dans la pratique de ces activités. Or, certains de ces apprentissages constitueraient des compétences socialement valorisées sur le plan de l’employabilité, n’eût été le jugement social pesant sur elles. Ici, des apprentissages réalisés dans l’exercice d’activités criminelles mobilisés dans le processus d’insertion professionnelle offriraient une compréhension plus ajustée de la complexité du processus d’insertion professionnelle, notamment auprès de jeunes adultes, diplômés ou non. Cet article présente les résultats d’une recherche qualitative menée auprès de cinq jeunes adultes ayant exercé des activités criminelles pour en voir les apprentissages mobilisés ou susceptibles de l’être dans leur processus d’insertion professionnelle dans un emploi légal.
Interventions policières auprès des personnes dont l’état mental est perturbé

Published: December 2019

L’objectif de cette contribution est de dresser le script de l’intervention policière auprès des personnes dont l’état mental est perturbé (PEMP) afin de cerner les éléments qui mènent à l’usage de la force. La consultation de 130 dossiers policiers a permis de reconstituer les étapes centrales de ces interventions. Le script se divise en cinq étapes : 1) recevoir l’appel de service et dépêcher les policiers sur les lieux ; 2) arriver sur les lieux ; 3) évaluer la PEMP ; 4) intervenir auprès de la PEMP ; et 5) prendre en charge la PEMP. Dès l’arrivée sur les lieux, la présence de personnes en danger précipite souvent l’emploi de la force par les policiers tandis que la présence d’un tiers ayant une bonne relation avec la PEMP prévient régulièrement le recours à la force. Les résultats montrent également que l’usage de la force est le résultat d’échanges entre le policier et la PEMP. L’emploi de stratégies de communication coercitives par les policiers diminue la collaboration de la PEMP et, par la suite, les policiers sont plus susceptibles d’employer la force. Enfin, les résultats laissent supposer qu’une théorie sur l’usage de la force a avantage à intégrer les facteurs immédiats incluant les échanges entre le policier et la personne interpellée.
Immigration et criminalisation au Canada : état des lieux
Authors: Moffette1 David 
Published: December 2019

Les intersections entre immigration et criminalisation sont nombreuses. Au Canada, près de 20 ans après l’entrée en vigueur de la Loi sur l’immigration et la protection des réfugiés (LIPR) et à la suite de plusieurs arrêts importants de la Cour suprême du Canada, il convient de faire le point sur cet enjeu. Cet article offre une typologie des intersections existantes et propose une analyse des transformations récentes. Nous traitons des situations suivantes : 1) la criminalisation formelle de stratégies migratoires (recours aux infractions criminelles contenues dans la LIPR) ; 2) les implications pour le projet migratoire d’un casier judiciaire (interdiction de territoire pour motifs de criminalité) ; 3) la criminalisation procédurale par le recours, dans le champ administratif, à des institutions et à des pratiques traditionnellement associées au système de justice pénale (détention d’immigration) ; et 4) lepolicinget le contrôle du statut d’immigration (collaboration entre les forces policières et l’Agence des services frontaliers du Canada). Dans les trois premiers cas, de récents arrêts phares de la Cour suprême sont aussi discutés :AppulonappaetB010(2015) sur la criminalisation de l’entrée irrégulière ;Tran(2017) sur l’exclusion pour motifs de criminalité ; etChhina(2019) sur l’accès àl’habeas corpuspour les personnes en détention d’immigration.
Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Alleviates Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis Involved in Liver of Hyperthyroid Mice
Authors: Aldubayan Maha Abdulrahman 
Published: December 2019

Objectives: Thyroid hormones control the basal metabolic pace of hepatocytes, and can make oxidative harm hepatic frameworks. The reason for this investigation was to investigate how hyperthyroidism-prompted liver danger, oxidative pressure and apoptosis changes could be alleviated with Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE). This investigation assessed some biochemical, histological and immunohistochemical changes in post pubertal hyperthyroidism and its effect on liver capacity and structures. Notwithstanding the enhancing job of Grape seed proanthocyanidin remove (GSPE) supplementation was analyzed.
Materials and Methods: Fifty male Swiss albino mice were randomly divided into 5 groups (G1, Control; G2, GSPE; G3, Eltroxin-induced hyperthyroid mice; G4, Post treated hyperthyroid with GSPE; G5, Self-treated hyperthyroid mice).
Results: Our results revealed that, a significant increase in serum T3, T4, ALT, AST, ALP, liver MDA, P53 levels, injury and P53 expression in hyperthyroid mice when compared to control and GSPE. In contrast; serum albumin, liver catalase, GSH, SOD and Bcl2 were decrease in hyperthyroid mice. Treatment of hyperthyroid mice with GSPE advantages in improving the adverse effect of hyperthyroidism and moreover the histopathological and P53 expression result approves this finding.
Conclusions: GSPE can be used in hyperthyroidism treatment to help propylthiouracil or carbimazole or methimazole therapy.
The Nature of Climate Change- equivalent Climate Change Model’s Application in Decoding the Root Cause of Global Warming
Authors: Bian Qinghan 
Published: December 2019

Scrutiny and analysis of various energy applications show that the energy conversion to useful work or new products has been systematically inefficient. The global energy’s total effective conversion efficiency is estimated only about 20% and about 80% of the energy has been discharged into the environment. It is this energy that leads to the unbalance of the climate system’s energy budget balance and causes the global warming.
This article presents a simple equivalent climate change model to track the past global warming and to predict the future change trend at the global scale. The model comprises of an equivalent climate change surface air boundary layer, an equivalent climate change land surface boundary layer and an equivalent climate change seawaters surface boundary layer. It produces unique definitive relationships between the temperature changes and the heat entered the air, waters and land. The model can also be used to forecast future non-renewable energy consumption needed to keep the temperature rising under Paris Accord.
Analysis of currently available data by using this model confirms that temperature changes in air, seawaters and land closely correlate to the amount of heat discharged into the climate system from human activities. NASA and NOAA’s observations of temperature anomalies for the surface air, sea surface and land surface are well consistent with the temperature changes calculated by this model, especially the calculated results at the depth of 70 meters of the surface air boundary layer and NASA’s Lowess Smoothing trend are very close.
Flaring intensifies global warming. Reducing use of fossil fuels, nuclear and geothermal energies, developing surface renewable energies and increasing energy’s total effective conversion efficiency and thus reducing the amount of residual/waste energy are the paths to effectively and efficiently control global warming.
A Secured Adaptive HTTP-Based Video Streaming System Using AES Algorithm
Authors: J. Ikuomola Aderonke 
Published: December 2019

Streaming video is a process of transferring moving images or video over the internet in a compressed form to viewers so that it can be viewed in real time. Streaming video technology is becoming more powerful all the time and appreciable works have been done in this area. However, security and adaptation of video are still problems to be tackled in the area of video streaming. In this paper, a secured and adaptive HTTP video streaming system (SAHVISS) was designed. The system was implemented using PHP, HTML5, Angular JS, Java Script and SQL Server database. It was tested on different computers and mobile devices using various web browsers. SAHVISS consist of four components namely Video Source, Streaming Server, Distribution Server and Client. The Streaming Server is made up of two sub-components namely the media encoder and the streamer. The server requires a media encoder to converts raw (uncompressed) digital video to a compressed format while the streamer breaks the encoded media into segments and save them as file. The distribution server comprises of Content Delivery Network and the Web server which delivers media file and the index ﬁles to the client over Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The performance of SAHVISS shows that it provides an efficient technique for solving the issues of adaptation and privacy/security of streaming video content. It is a robust, secured and an adaptive http video streaming system.
Recognition and Prevention of Visual Loss Due to Retinopathy of Prematurity in High Risk Twin Infant Pairs: A Case Series with a Multi-specialty Approach
Authors: Annamalai Radha , Raghu Krishnima , Mohanakumar Meera , Muthayya M. 
Published: December 2019

Aim: This study was performed to determine profile of asymmetry, newer differences in postnatal risk factors and effects of current laser treatment on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) progression in preterm twin pairs.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 250 infants (125 twin pairs) of premature birth, low weight or other infant risk factors at Sri Ramachandra hospital, a tertiary referral hospital in Chennai, India from May 2017 to April 2019. Indirect ophthalmoscopy with scleral indentation was performed on all babies under continuous monitoring of oxygen saturation using pulseoximeter in the presence of a neonatologist. Examination and analysis was done for stage and zone of ROP, systemic causes, spontaneous regression and need for treatment.
Results: Among 125 twin pairs, 38twin pairs (30%) had ROP which was asymmetrical in 27% and symmetrical in 4%. Disparity developed before 35 weeks when both twins had ROP. Two stage differences occurred in 84%. Both were statistically significant (p<0.05). Spontaneous regression occurred after 35 weeks and majority regressed by 40 weeks. Laser treatment was required in 36%. Risk factors were most commonly respiratory distress, patent ductus arteriosus, apnoea, variation of birth weight and gestational age.
Conclusion: Smaller gestational age is a good predictor of variability in progression of vascularization and along with birth weight and weight gain contributes to asymmetry. Respiratory distress has the highest risk. It is important to screen and follow up all twins irrespective of initial examination status and normal appearing retina in one twin, as transition from one stage to another can occur. Early detection with timely treatment will prevent irreversible visual loss.

and his name is likely
to draw many readers to these two books. With sales of 50,000
copies of his La Légende
des anges (1993; trans., Paris, 1995), 100,000 copies of
Le Contrat naturel (1990; trans.,
Ann Arbor, 1995) and 300,000 copies of Le Tiers-instruit (1991;
trans., forthcoming),
Serres's official eminence (he was elected to the
Académie Française in 1990) is more than
matched by contemporary popularity. Originally trained in mathematics and
logic, Serres
undertook doctoral research with Gaston Bachelard – and it shows.
Even at his most
allusive, Serres's dexterous prose often slips into neat axiomatic

and Euclidean certainties,
while one can see much of both his aggressively anti-epistemological stance
and his easy
traffic across the science–poetics divide as an effort to
distance himself from his former
mentor. But, like Bachelard, Serres has a commanding range, is hugely prolific
and writes
– if one may say this of one of the ‘Immortals’ –

with a glee and innocence that one associates with the rank amateur.Serres, a professor of the history of science at the Sorbonne,
is no amateur. ‘History of
science’, he has said, ‘that's my trade’. So it

may be, yet many, hearing of his forays into
the history of angelology, the natural rights of trees, the iconography
of Tintin and the
moral status of airport terminals, are entitled to ask whether Serres is
to be trusted. Put
another way, should one take Serres seriously? The question is worth asking
at the outset,
for there is little more aggravating than intellectual energy and enthusiasm
one feels with
hindsight to have been misplaced. How many readers of Michel Foucault,
one wonders,
were shocked to find him saying in his last lectures that he admired Diogenes
the Cynic,
the shameless philosopher who masturbated in the Athenian public square,

pour épater les
bourgeois, so to speak? Maybe Foucault's oeuvre was
a similar snub from a
maître-penseur – a kind of masterpation, if you will.
