Unfulfilled Dreams? The Financial Situation of Workers in Paris and the Department of Loir-et-Cher between 1789 and 1795
Authors: Derejski Krzysztof 
Published: December 2024

The convening of the Estates General in France in 1789 raised high hopes in French society for change. The economic demands written down in the ledgers of complaints, such as the abolition of the guild system, the unification of taxes and their more equitable distribution, the abolition of customs duties and fees within the kingdom, can be categorized as inclusive economic institutions. Their introduction in France during the Revolution was expected to translate into an improvement in the financial conditions of the population. The purpose of this article is to present the changing financial situation of workers in Paris and the department of Loir-et-Cher between 1789 and 1795 in the context of the aforementioned institutions. Data from a survey of prices and wages conducted at the behest of the Committee of Public Safety, Paris police reports of 1795 and depreciation tables were used to show the change in the financial position of working families during the French Revolution. Demands from the ledgers of complaints against the Estates General of 1789 were used to determine the title workers' "dreams." Assessing the change in the financial situation of workers required calculations that took into account, among other things, the size of the average working family's demand for foodstuffs or the change in France regarding the number of working days per year after the elimination of the old holidays and the introduction of the republican calendar. During the period under review, the financial situation of workers in the Loir-et-Cher department worsened due to high inflation – turning at times into hyperinflation – despite the implementation of most of the demands of the ledgers of complaints by the revolutionary authorities. In the case of Paris, the assessment is not so clear-cut. Thanks to the rationing of bread and meat in the capital, and their sale at a discounted price by the authorities, the living conditions of working families in 1795 were better or comparable to those at the beginning of the revolution. The article sheds new light on the changing financial situation of workers in Paris and the department of Loir-et-Cher in the context of the implementation of workers' demands recorded during the revolution in the ledgers of complaints to the Estates General of 1789, thus filling a gap in historiography.

Abstract

Objectives
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare disorder of hypercytokinemia and immune dysregulation. Most commonly diagnosed in the pediatric population due to genetic predisposition, the condition can manifest in the adult population secondary to an immune dysregulating event, such as infection, malignancy, rheumatologic disorders, immunodeficiency, and checkpoint inhibitors. The presentation and diagnosis during pregnancy are extremely rare and elusive. We present a case of secondary HLH during the peripartum period, urging obstetrical providers to keep the condition as part of their differential diagnosis.

Case presentation
A 20-year-old Gravida 1, with a past medical history significant for non-alcoholic hepatosteatosis and morbid obesity, presented multiple times to the emergency department in the third trimester with liver function test derangements and vague complaints of subjective fevers and fatigue. She eventually tested positive for COVID-19. Two weeks after the initial presentation, she went into spontaneous preterm labor and delivered. Postpartum, her liver dysfunction worsened in association with high fevers and persistent tachycardia. After an extensive workup failed to reveal an etiology, HLH was suspected. Labs were sent for confirmation, and she was initiated on pulse-dose steroids. However, the patient acutely decompensated and succumbed to the disease. Several days later, labs resulted, confirming the diagnosis of HLH.

Conclusions
In peripartum patients presenting with severe derangements in liver function tests and vague symptoms with undulating episodes of pyrexia, HLH should be considered early as part of the differential diagnosis. This is particularly true when antibiotics or postpartum status fail to alleviate the symptomatology or improve the clinical course.

Abstract

Objectives
The COVID-19 pandemic has shown a wide range of direct and indirect influences on the health of the population. This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the amputation rate in Germany in patients with critical limb-threatening ischaemia (CLTI).

Methods
The epidemiological, pooled, and anonymised data of 476,168 CLTI patients from the Institute for the Hospital Remuneration System (InEK) were analysed for 2019–2023 at the federal level at weekly intervals and compared with epidemiological data for COVID-19 patients from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) database, divided into the pandemic phases.

Results
The number of inpatient cases declined by −4.64 % (p>0.05) from 2019 to 2020 and increased significantly by +7.07 % (p=0.001) from 2020 to 2023. The incidence of all lower limb amputations increased from 2019 to 2022 (23.9 vs. 25.7 %, p=0.01) with no significant changes in 2023. Moreover, the incidence of minor amputations increased from 16.9 % in 2019 to a maximum of 18.9 % (p<0.001) in 2022, and then to 18.4 % (p=0.02) in 2023. In the short-term perspective, inpatient cases significantly decreased in phases 1 and 3, with a relevant increase in the subsequent phases. However, the incidence of all amputations, especially minor ones, is constantly increasing.

Conclusions
The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly indirectly impacted the management of CLTI patients, with a marked increase in the incidence of minor amputations, presumably due to the delayed presentation of patients with small necroses and due to limited access to healthcare.

Abstract
In this article, we mainly study the solution of higher order difference equations. We solve some questions posed by Chen and Xu [Uniqueness on entire functions and their nth order exact differences with two shared values, Open Math. 18 (2020), no. 1, 211–215] and give a negative answer to some conjectures posed by Gao et al. [Uniqueness of meromorphic functions sharing values with their nth order exact differences, Anal. Math. 45 (2019), no. 2, 321–334] and Ahamed [Class of meromorphic functions partially shared values with their differences or shifts, Kyungpook Math. J. 61 (2021), no. 4, 745–763]. Meanwhile, we extend some results due to Adud and Chakraborty [Some results related to differential-difference counterpart of the Brück conjecture, Commun. Korean Math. Soc. 39 (2024), no. 1, 117–125].

Abstract
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor correlates with decreased bone mineral density and impedes orthodontic tooth movement. The present study aimed to examine the effects of fluoxetine on osteoclast differentiation and function. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (hPBMCs) and murine RAW264.7 cells were cultured with RANKL to stimulate osteoclast differentiation. The resulting multinucleated cells displayed characteristics of mature osteoclasts. Fluoxetine at 0.01–1 μM did not impact cellular viability or oxidative stress. However, 10 μM fluoxetine significantly reduced clonal growth, cell viability, and increased cytotoxicity and lipid peroxidation in RAW 264.7 cells. Further, application of 0.1 μM fluoxetine potently suppressed osteoclast differentiation of both RAW264.7 and hPBMCs, with reduced osteoclast numbers and downregulation of osteoclastic genes matrix metalloproteinase-9, cathepsin K, and integrin β3 at mRNA and protein levels. Fluoxetine also disrupted F-actin ring formation essential for osteoclast resorptive function. Mechanistically, fluoxetine inhibited NF-kB signaling by reducing phosphorylation of pathway members IκBα and p65, preventing IκBα degradation and blocking p65 nuclear translocation. In conclusion, this study demonstrates fluoxetine suppressing osteoclast differentiation in association with disrupting NF-kB activation, providing insight into orthodontic treatment planning for patients taking fluoxetine.

Abstract
Nanorod and nanosphere hydroxyapatite (HAP) particles were synthesized by the sol–gel hydrothermal method. The size of the synthesized HAP nanoparticles was controlled using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a templating agent with molar concentrations (HAP + 0.01 M CTAB, HAP + 0.03 M CTAB, and HAP + 0.1 M CTAB). The purity, size, shape, and elemental composition of HAP were determined using powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, which enabled us to determine the nanostructure formation. Further, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis of the samples proves the size of the pores to be 7–10 nm. Thus, by altering the concentration of CTAB, HAP nanorods were induced along the c-axis. The zeta potential values of −34.7 and −28.7 mV confirmed the stability of pure HAP and HAP + 0.01 M CTAB. Further, the biological activities of the HAP nanoparticles were determined. In the anti-microbial activity test, an increase in the inhibition with an increase in the concentration of pure HAP to 0.1 M CTAB + HAP was observed against S. aureus, S. pyrogens, B. subtilis, E. aerogens, K. pneumoniae, and P. vulgaris. About 76% of antioxidant activity was obtained from the experiments. The drug-release behavior of doxorubicin-loaded pure HAP and CTAB-coated HAP also indicates that the % of drug delivery depends on the pores, which further depends on the CTAB concentration. The cytotoxic assay also revealed potential inhibitory effects against human cancer cell lines (MCF-7), with 65% cell viability recorded at a concentration of 500 μg/ml. These findings indicate that the pore size and shape of HAP play significant roles in their biological activities.
Vietnamese tense marking since the seventeenth century: A historiographical analysis
Authors: Le Quang Anh 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This article investigates the historical development of the linguistic writings on Vietnamese tense marking. The scholarship on Vietnamese tense marking is unique as it is shaped by both linguistic and non-linguistic influences: foreshadowed in the seventeenth-century missionary grammars, turned prescriptive during the French colonisation of Vietnam, bifurcated during the Cold War, and since 1986 converged with rapid developments in tense-aspect-mood (TAM) theories. In this article, I critically examine and (re-)interpret the claims on Vietnamese tense marking made by the relevant grammatical writings during these periods and consolidate the scholarship into three emerging themes: transcategorial complexity; covert–overt complexity; and prevalence of TAM. I show that TAM theories have predominantly been the only theoretical framework for analysing a group of multifunctional particles. This prevalence of TAM theories arises not only because (i) how each of the earlier grammars of Vietnamese on the topic was referenced, misinterpreted, or ignored due to certain historical and socio-political milestones, but also because (ii) the influence of certain linguistic ideologies overshadows the other two themes and ultimately the pragmatic functions of those particles. These two reasons form a unique scholarship on Vietnamese tense marking, the basis of which is grounded firmly on continuously expanding TAM theories.

Abstract
The present research explores nematicons in liquid crystals (LCs) with quadruple power law nonlinearity utilizing the modified extended Fan sub-equation technique as an analytical tool to investigate the optical spatial soliton solutions. For the inaugural time, a novel version of nonlinearity is investigated in relation to LCs. There are distinct applications for the several wave solutions that have been created in optical handling data. The aforementioned modified extended Fan subequation approach offers novel, comprehensive solutions that are relatively easy to deploy in comparison to earlier, regular methodologies. This approach translates a coupled non-linear partial differential equation into a coupled ordinary differential equation through implementing a traveling wave conversion. This approach indicates that a large variety of traveling and solitary solutions that rely upon five parameters can be incorporated by the nematicons in LCs. In addition, the investigation yields solutions of the single and mixed non-degenerate Jacobi elliptic function form. Novel solutions, such as the periodic pattern, kink and anti-kink patterns, N-pattern, W-pattern, anti-Z-pattern, M-pattern, V-pattern, complexion pattern and anti-bell pattern, or dark soliton solutions of nematic LCs, have been constructed by means of modified extended Fan subequation technique through granting suitable values for the parameters. The computer software Mathematica 14 is used to illustrate several modulus, real and imaginary solutions visually in the form of contour, 2D, and 3D visualizations that help understand the concrete importance of the nematicons in LCs. This research additionally offers a physical comprehension of the obtained solutions and applications of model. The imposed approach is ultimately thought to be more potent and effective than alternative approaches, and the solutions found in this work could be beneficial in our understanding of soliton structures in LCs.
Computational approaches for structural analysis of wood specimens
Authors: Chakkour Tarik 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The structure tensor (ST), also named a second-moment matrix, is a popular tool in image processing. Usually, its purpose is to evaluate orientation and to conduct local structural analysis. We present an efficient algorithm for computing eigenvalues and linking eigenvectors of the ST derived from a material structure. The performance and efficiency of our approach are demonstrated through several numerical simulations. The proposed approach is evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively using different two-dimensional/three-dimensional wood image types. This article reviews the properties of the first- and second-order STs, their properties, and their application to illustrate their usefulness in analyzing the wood data. Our results demonstrate that the suggested approach achieves a high-quality orientation trajectory from high-resolution micro-computed tomography (

Published: December 2024

Abstract

Objectives
Since 2008, patients have had access to reimbursed analgesics, including opioids, for chronic pain in Norway. There is a need for knowledge on the occurrence and trends over time of substance use disorder (SUD) diagnoses among patients who receive reimbursed opioids for chronic pain. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of SUD diagnoses in patients with chronic pain using reimbursed opioids from 2010 to 2019 in Norway. The secondary aim was to investigate the prevalence of other mental health diagnoses among those receiving reimbursed opioids in the subgroups with and without SUD diagnoses.

Methods
A cross-sectional design utilising data from four Norwegian nationwide registries.

Results
The annual number of individuals with SUD diagnoses increased from 377 to 932 from 2010 to 2019, while the annual prevalence of individuals with SUD remained relatively stable at around 5%. There was a higher prevalence for all categories of other mental health diagnoses among individuals with a SUD diagnosis, compared to those without a SUD diagnosis.

Conclusion
The prevalence of SUD diagnoses was low in the population using reimbursed opioids for chronic pain in Norway, but the number of patients increased in the study period because the number of individuals receiving reimbursed opioids increased. Patients with a SUD used on average twice the daily doses of opioids compared to patients without a SUD. They were also more likely to have an additional mental health diagnosis.
Repetitions in Reserve: An Emerging Method for Strength Exercise Prescription in Special Populations

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT
This review briefly outlines the benefits and limitations of traditional methods for prescribing resistance training (RT) exercise intensity (i.e., the percentage of 1 repetition maximum, velocity-based training, and rating of perceived exertion) for special populations based on mechanical and psychological indicators. Given these limitations, the repetition in reserve (RIR) method, which quantifies the discrepancy between potential and actual repetitions, has been proposed as a safer, more effective, and adaptable alternative to optimize RT in special populations. This study provides an overview of the main RIR scales used in scientific literature and synthesizes RIR validation studies. Although the validity and reliability of the RIR method have not been extensively tested across different special populations, and a scarcity of studies applying it in clinical contexts has been detected, this review proposes a practical application that integrates existing scales for prescribing RT in rehabilitation settings and for individuals with chronic health conditions. In conclusion, the RIR method shows promise for broader application in clinical settings, and further research is needed to validate its effectiveness in diverse population groups.

Published: December 2024

A proposta do presente estudo foi a de verificar: (i) em que medida as crianças registram o fonema /a/ em contexto de nasalização; (ii) em caso de registros, que tipos de registros, convencionais ou desviantes, as crianças utilizaram para marcar tal fonema; e (iii) buscar possíveis vínculos entre os registros escritos utilizados pelas crianças e características acústico-auditivas que estes registros poderiam indiciar. A partir de um corpus constituído de 20 textos de crianças pré-escolares envolvendo a grafia de /aN/ em 08 palavras – computando um total de 160 possibilidades de ocorrência, constatamos que as crianças registraram o fonema /aN/ em 127 palavras (79%). No entanto, a maioria desses registros (86%) não estava de acordo com as convenções ortográficas. Destaca-se que dentre os registros desviantes, o registro do elemento vocálico esteve presente em 94%. Esse fato pode ser explicado em termos auditivo-perceptuais, uma vez que as características formânticas da vogal são favorecidas pelo aparelho auditivo humano. Nossos resultados apontaram para uma forte ancoragem das crianças em informações denatureza acústico-auditiva da fala em seu processo de aquisição da escrita.Palavras-chave: Aquisição da escrita; Ortografia; Nasalidade. Pre-scholars writing of the phoneme /a/: acoustic-hearing cues.AbstractThe aims of this study were: (i) verified in with measure the children record the /a/ phoneme in nasalization context (ii) in case of records, which type of writing record, conventional or deviant, the children used to mark such phoneme; (iii) to search for possible links between the written records used by the children and the hearing-acoustical cues that these records might indicate. The analysis was realized from of a corpus constituted by 20 prescholars’ texts showing the writing of /aN/ in 08 words adding up to 160 tokens. We verified that the children wrote the phoneme /aN/ in 127 words (79%). Conversely, most of the writings (86%) were deviant records. In addition, the vocalic writing was present in 94% of the deviant records. That occurrence may be explained in perceptual-hearing te rms once the vocalic characteristics are enhanced by the hearing system. The outcome suggested that the children have a strong support on hearing-acoustical cues of speech during writing acquisition.Keywords: writing acquisition; orthography; nasality.
