New Limits on Axionic Dark Matter from the Magnetar PSR J1745-2900
Authors: Darling Jeremy 
Published: September 2020

Abstract
Axions are a promising dark matter candidate that were motivated to solve the strong charge-parity problem and that may also address the cosmological matter−antimatter asymmetry. Axion−photon conversion is possible in the presence of the strong magnetic fields, and the photon so produced will have energy equal to the axion mass. Here we report new limits on axionic dark matter obtained from radio spectra of the Galactic Center magnetar PSR J1745−2900. The magnetar has a magnetic field of 1.6 × 1014 G that interacts with a dark matter density 2 × 105 to 2 × 109 times greater than the local dark matter encountered by terrestrial haloscopes, depending on the Galactic dark matter profile. No significant spectral features are detected across 62% of the axion mass range 4.1–165.6 μeV (1–40 GHz). The interpretation of flux limits into limits on the two-photon coupling strength g

aγγ
depends on the magnetospheric conversion model and on the dark matter density at the Galactic Center. For a standard dark matter profile, we exclude axion models with g

aγγ
> 6–34 ×10−12 GeV−1 with 95% confidence over the mass ranges 4.2–8.4, 8.9–10.0, 12.3–16.4, 18.6–26.9, 33.0–62.1, 70.1–74.3, 78.1–80.7, 105.5–109.6, 111.6–115.2, 126.0–159.3, and 162.5–165.6 μeV. For the maximal dark matter cusp allowed by stellar orbits near Sgr A*, these limits reduce to g

aγγ
> 6–34 × 10−14 GeV−1, which exclude some theoretical models for masses >33 μeV. Limits may be improved by modeling stimulated axion conversion, by ray-tracing conversion pathways in the magnetar magnetosphere, and by obtaining deeper broad-band observations of the magnetar.
Noms propres et insulte
Authors: Cislaru Georgeta 
Published: September 2020

Noms propres et insultes s’opposent tout en restant liés : d’une part, noms ou insultes sont en principe donnés à la deuxième personne, par un tiers, qui exerce ainsi une sorte de pouvoir social ; d’autre part, l’insulte tend à se substituer au nom propre, en s’attaquant à l’identité de la personne visée. En prenant comme lieu d’observation de l’émergence de l’insulte le nom propre, cet article se propose d’observer le rapprochement possible entre les deux et d’interroger sous cet angle les tensions entre catégories sociales et spécificités individuelles. On examinera ici plus particulièrement deux cas de figure : les surnoms donnés, sur l’internet ou dans les discours politico-médiatiques, aux personnalités politiques en détournant leurs noms (du type Naboléon, Ségogol, Sarkokaïne…) et les pseudonymes choisis ou déformés par les internautes. Dans le premier cas, ce qui nous intéresse c’est le potentiel d’insulte in absentia illustrant l’exercice du pouvoir d’un tiers via et sur le nom ; dans le second, il s’agit d’interroger les frontières entre insulte et connivence dans une perspective d’autonomination ou de création lexicale contournant les pratiques de l’exercice du pouvoir par un tiers. Dans les deux cas, on s’intéressera aux mécanismes sémanticodiscursifs permettant d’associer des traits insultants à un nom propre. Car, si les insultes d’une langue ou communauté rendent compte du système de valeurs de ces dernières, il devient intéressant de voir comment ces valeurs tendent à se cristalliser au plus près de l’identité individuelle en la ramenant à des catégories idéologiques plus larges.
Patrimonialisation et territorialisation de la littérature : causes, enjeux et effets
Authors: Melmoux-Montaubin Marie-Françoise 
Published: September 2020

La littérature a récemment été inscrite au « patrimoine » avec l’introduction du socle commun des connaissances dans les programmes scolaires entre 2008 et 2012. Favorisée par l’indétermination du concept, son caractère transdisciplinaire, sa dimension consensuelle et les perspectives économiques et commerciales qu’il ouvre, cette patrimonialisation n’est pas sans conséquences sur la littérature. Elle contribue à la désigner comme un objet en péril, menacé de disparition. Surtout, elle la territorialise, la détachant ainsi de l’universalité dont se réclamait le canon. À rebours de la légitimation, la patrimonialisation se joue pour l’essentiel à l’extérieur du champ littéraire, définissant, à côté de la culture savante une sorte de culture populaire orchestrée par un grand récit national.
« Plus immuable et lourd qu’une colonne de diamant ». Leopardi entre la noia et l’otium
Authors: Veronese Cosetta 
Published: September 2020

Cette contribution propose une analyse des signifiés et des implications multiples du thème de l’otium chez Leopardi. En considérant surtout les années du Zibaldone — c’est-à-dire 1820 à 1832 — l’article argumente que la réflexion de Leopardi sur le passage de l’Antiquité à la modernité comporte une perte d’intérêt pour la matérialité de l’action et aussi un affaiblissement des passions, des émotions et des désirs. Cette transformation entraîne le passage séculaire de la poésie à la philosophie, du temps de l’imagination au temps de la raison. L’humanité moderne se contente de la paresse, de l’ennui et de la noia (essentiellement le vide de l’existence), et le flâneur en est devenu l’incarnation. Consciente de la futilité des choses, l’humanité a appris à se contenter du transitoire, de l’éphémère de toutes choses et expériences, préfigurant ainsi le modèle de la société du consumérisme.

Purpose : Apparent digestibility coefficients of nutrients in Jatropha curcas based diets were evaluated for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) using AIA as marker or indicator.Research Method : A total of 225tilapia were acclimatized for a week, weighed and allotted into five dietary treatments; containing 20 and 40% of 5- and 10-minute toasted Jatropha curcas replacing soybean meal in control diets. The diets were isonitrogenous and isolipidic. Each treatment was replicated three times with fifteen fish per replicate. Fish were fed 5% body weight on two equal proportions per day. Acid insoluble ash and digestibility coefficient determinations followed standard established procedures. Findings : The results from the study indicated that the apparent digestibility coefficients of nutrients in control diets were significantly (p<0.05) higher than that test diets containing Jatropha curcas seedmeal. There was a reduction in the apparent digestibility coefficients of nutrients in the diet with increase replacement levels which were significant (p<0.05) at a 10-minute processing time. However, no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed in the apparent digestibility coefficient of nutrients in 5-minute toasted Jatropha up to 40% soybean replacement among the fish fed the diet. So also, the apparent carbohydrate digestibility coefficient of the different test dietary treatments was not statistically different (p>0.05). Originality / Value : It is evident from this study that diets containing Jatropha curcas seedmeal were relatively well digested by Oreochromis niloticus compared with soybean-based diets.

Authors: Panigrahi Hemanta Kumar 
Published: September 2020

Sushruta in 1st part of his compendium described about wound healing its types etc. as Vranitopasaniya adhyaya. Ayurveda described so many compound medicines and oil for oral administration and topical application to accelerate the wound healing. But this is not scientifically validated. So there is always a search for finding a newer and better medicine for wound healing. I am presenting a case of 42 year old married male with complain of superficial external wound with mild pain, mal odour and not healing since 45 days in spite of taking allopathic conventional treatment in his lower limb. The study was done in my outpatient department of Central Research institute for cardiovascular disease, Punjabi Bagh, New Delhi. On examination it was found that surface area of superficial wound is 22.5 sq. cm. having full thickness, skin loss involving necrosis of subcutaneous tissue extended down to underlying fascia. Necessary laboratory investigations were done prior to initiate the treatment. The wound was irrigated with Panchvalkala kasaya and dressing with Jatyadi Tail was done daily followed by oral intake of Triphala guggulu 500mg twice in a day and Amalaki churna 6gm twice in a day was administered orally for 28th days. Periodic follow up was done on 0, 7, 14, and in 28 days. This regimen was found to be effective in faster wound epithelialization, and reducing wound exudates. There was no evidence of any allergic reaction as well as no evidence showing any adverse event on the wound.

Authors: U Divya , N Vijayakumar 
Published: September 2020

Diminishing ovarian reserve (DOR) is a condition in which the ovary loses reproductive potential, compromising fertility. Nowadays 10-30% of female infertility is due to DOR and considered as “expected poor responder” for In vitro fertilisation (IVF). Correlation of DOR can be done with Dathukshaya vandya (depletion or inadequate formation of dhatus) explained in Harithasamhita. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of Ayurvedic treatment protocol on Diminishing ovarian reserve. The study protocol includes- ashtachurna for deepana (appetiser), pachana (digestives) and kolakulathadi churna for udwarthana (powder massage). Sukumaragrutha used for snehapana (oral administration of medicated ghee), utharabasthi (intrauterine administration) and rasayana (rejuvenation therapy ). Danwantarathaila abhyanga (oleation) and ooshmasweda (sudation) done for 3 days. Sukumaraeranda was used for virechana (therapeutic purgation) and also Yogabasthi (medicated enema). The study design was pre and post interventional study with a sample size of 15 selected as per inclusion and exclusion criteria, conducted at hospital for women and children, Government Ayurveda College, Thiruvananthapuram. Assessment was based on Bologna criteria for DOR. The statistical techniques employed are Wilcoxon’s signed rank test and Paired t test. Results showed statistically significant effect on improving Antral follicle count (AFC) (p- 0.01), Estradiol (p- 0.005), conception (p- 0.014), on regulating amount of bleeding (p- 0.003), menstrual interval correction (p-0.001) and dyspareunia (p-0.005). But insignificant effect on improving Anti Mullerian Hormone (AMH) (p- 0.469) and regularising LH/FSH ratio (p-0.104) was found.

Published: September 2020

Indigofera tinctoria (Linn.), a perennial shrub belongs to the family Fabaceae (Leguminosae) is well known in Indian system of medicines for its traditional uses. The present study was carried to find out the possible bioactive components in the leaves of this plant in ethanol extract by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis and the therapeutic uses of each compound as per PASS and other database. The mass spectra of the extract found compounds that were matched with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST version 5.7.1) library database. The GC-MS study observed different peaks as per retention time and then those peaks were analysed determining presence of 26 phytochemical compounds. The qualitative phytochemical screening done by routine laboratory methods also indicated presence of these bioactive compound groups like alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and phenols, saponins, glycosides and terpenoids. These 26 compounds are understood to have different therapeutic activities as per in-silico databases, e.g. 2-Acetylamino-3-hydroxy-propionoic acid (glutamic acid) - used as Anti-diarrheal, Antiviral, Antipyretic, Protein synthesis inhibitor, Antidiabetic, Non-steroidal, Anti-inflammatory agent, Antipsoriatic, Antioxidant, Antifungal, Antineoplastic (sarcoma), Antiparasitic, Antibiotic Aminoglycoside-like, Antiseborrheic, Anticataract, Antithyroid, Anticarcinogenic, Antileprosy, Hair growth stimulant, Lipoprotein lipase inhibitor, Dermatologic, Testosterone, Antituberculosic, Antirickettsial, Antianemic, etc. activities. Hence, Indigofera tinctoria is an excellent source of phytocompounds, which help to heal various diseases and health complications in human beings. The use of this plant in traditional methods for the treatment of such diseases appears scientifically relevant as per the therapeutic activity data of its bioactive compounds.
Transformación de un modelo educativo a través de la formación y las comunidades docentes de aprendizaje
Authors: De Dios Alija Teresa 
Published: September 2020

En las últimas décadas han proliferado distintos enfoques sobre el estudio del desarrollo humano, la neurociencia y el aprendizaje, que parecen determinantes en la responsabilidad social que deben asumir los profesionales de la educación.
Los objetivos de esta investigación son 1) Identificar el espectro de concepciones que tiene el profesorado sobre la práctica de la enseñanza universitaria y su incidencia en variables determinantes en la calidad docente y 2) Proponer un modelo de trabajo en comunidades docentes que facilite un acercamiento a los planteamientos prácticos que propone el Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior.
Siguiendo una metodología cuantitativa y cualitativa basada en encuestas y la técnica de Análisis Crítico del Discurso, se obtiene una información completa sobre la influencia de la motivación y las concepciones previas del profesorado en el proceso de enseñanza. Del análisis se deduce que existe una evidente discrepancia entre el planteamiento actual de los profesores sobre lo que es aprender y lo que se demanda desde la normativa europea.
En base a la información recogida se plantea un modelo de formación y trabajo en comunidades docentes de aprendizaje, que pretende facilitar el aprendizaje situado, colaborativo y transferible que debe lograrse en los universitarios.
En conclusión, podemos afirmar que participar en una comunidad docente de aprendizaje se reconoce como una práctica valiosa y necesaria para transformar las creencias y convicciones sobre el proceso de enseñanza en la universidad, que garantiza la reflexión sobre el aprendizaje, la formación, la responsabilidad y la toma de decisiones de los profesores en su contexto natural.
