À la rencontre de l’autre francophone entre détresse et enchantement. L’exemple de l’Acadie
Authors: Boudreau Annette 
Published: October 2019

L’article met l’accent sur les malentendus qui peuvent surgir entre francophones de régions et de pays divers socialisés à des codes culturels et linguistiques différents. En s’appuyant sur des enquêtes de terrain réalisées au Nouveau-Brunswick et en Nouvelle-Écosse entre 1999 et 2007, l’auteure montre que les rencontres accrues entre francophones provoquées par la mondialisation économique et culturelle agissent tant sur les pratiques linguistiques des Acadiens que sur leurs représentations de ces mêmes pratiques. Plusieurs d’entre eux sont tiraillés entre leur volonté de rester fidèles au français « local » et leur désir d’élargir leur répertoire pour communiquer sur une plus large échelle. L’auteure explique comment les secteurs touristique et artistique sont des sites discursifs intéressants pour rendre compte de ces phénomènes. Si l’usage d’un français standardisé est prisé sur ces différents marchés, le « dire vrai », ou le français régional, l’est tout autant et les deux variétés génèrent des profits symboliques et matériels.
Dynamiques collectives entre employeurs âgés et salariés aidants : une coconstruction du bien vieillir au domicile
Authors: Boudra Leïla 
Published: October 2019

Une recherche réalisée en 2017, auprès de salariés et de particuliers employeurs âgés, a mis en évidence la construction collective du travail entre salarié et employeur. Plus précisément, cette dynamique collective est l’objet d’un « travail d’accompagnement » produit par les salariés et coconstruit avec la personne âgée aidée. Ces résultats ont été produits à partir de dix entretiens semi-directifs menés auprès de salariés et de particuliers employeurs âgés, et ont été analysés au prisme de l’approche ergonomique d’analyse du travail. Cet article explore les ressorts de cette dynamique collective, caractéristique des situations de coprésence entre salarié et employeur au domicile. Le travail d’accompagnement se construit entre des formes de coactivité et de coopération, favorables au maintien de l’autonomie de la personne âgée et à son bien vieillir au domicile. Ces dynamiques collectives sont autant de voies pour améliorer la prévention des risques professionnels dans ces métiers. Les résultats de cette étude interrogent ainsi deux voies d’action : (i) explorer les façons de prendre soin du travail collectivement et (ii) examiner les spécificités du travail au sein d’un domicile privé imposant un partage de l’espace.
Perceptions of Rural Magnet Nurses' Comfort and Confidence With Evidence-Based Practice
Authors: Weaver Brenda , Knox Kayla , McPherson Sara 
Published: October 2019

Background:
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is essential for improving outcomes for patients and is an expected competency of nurses. However, current practice finds varying levels of comfort and confidence among nurses regarding EBP implementation.

Method:

A descriptive study using an online survey was conducted to assess the perceptions of nurses at a rural midwestern Magnet
®
hospital on their comfort and confidence regarding EBP and compare the results to the nurses' level of education and years of experience.

Results:
Although nurses agreed that EBP is important for patient care, nurses with a baccalaureate degree or higher reported increased comfort and confidence with EBP implementation. However, nurses with more years of experience, regardless of education level, reported increased comfort and confidence with EBP, although that finding did not reach significance levels.

Conclusion:

Creating a culture of EBP is the responsibility of every organization. Administrators and educators must continue to assess the comfort and confidence levels of nurses who work directly at the bedside and provide continuing education and hands-on opportunities to increase nurses' comfort and confidence with implementing EBP.

Translatie als filosofisch programma
Authors: Glas Gerrit 
Published: October 2019

AbstractTranslation as philosophical program: An explorative reviewWhat does the concept of translation mean in the expression ‘translational neuroscience’? What are the different steps, or components, in the translation of neuroscientific findings to psychiatry? There are serious concerns about the validity and productivity of the traditional idea of a translational pipeline, starting in the fundamental sciences (chemistry, molecular and cellular biology) and ending in the practice of clinical medicine, including psychiatry. The article defends the thesis that the difficulties in the traditional approach result, at least partially, from insufficient reflection on the philosophical premises upon which the concept of translation is based. The linear pipeline model is strongly determined by the traditional biomedical approach to disease. The translation crisis signifies some of the limitations of this approach, especially in the realm of clinical practice and patient experience. The biomedical model suggests that illness manifestations should be conceived as causally determined expressions of an underlying biological derailment or dysfunction. This model lacks the language and conceptual tools to address the role of contextual and person-bound factors in the manifestation of illness. It is only recently that personalized and context-sensitive approaches to psychopathology have gained scientific attention. In the wake of this conceptual and practical reform, network-like approaches to translation have emerged. These network approaches are based on a different conception of transdisciplinarity. They address all stakeholders, by asking them what kind of translation they need. Stakeholders are not only scientists and clinicians, but also patient- and family support groups; and parties that are responsible for the institutional embedding, the financial and logistic infrastructure, and the legal frameworks that support psychiatric care. It is the interaction between science (as producer of knowledge) and the contexts that are supposed to benefit from this knowledge, that should be put at the centre of conceptual reflection. The degree and fruitfulness of this interaction will be decisive for the future of both psychiatry and clinical neuroscience. Philosophy can play an important role in this interaction, by making explicit underlying logical and practical tensions and ambiguities in this interaction.
The Spirits of Satire: Kant and Blake Read Emanuel Swedenborg
Authors: Dunn Allen 
Published: October 2019

Abstract
Emanuel Swedenborg was a scientist and mystic whose religious writings attracted a large following in the late eighteenth century. Both Immanuel Kant and William Blake wrote satires of Swedenborg’s work, but their satires mask a deep ambivalence. They are fascinated by, and sometimes envious of, Swedenborg’s visionary powers even as they remain skeptical of these powers. Both the poet and the philosopher find a tentative resolution for this ambivalence in their accounts of poetry, which claim that poetic inspiration is a more trustworthy guide to the spirit world than Swedenborg’s systematic theology, because poetry does not attempt to present the experience of the spirit world with the specious certainty of a metaphysical system.

Authors: Busman Hendri , . Sutyarso , Farisi Salman , . Yulianty 
Published: October 2019

Aims: This study aims to determine the regulation of β3 integrin protein in the period of embryo implantation after being induced by oil atsiri of purple nutsedge tubers.
Study Design: The study employed a completely randomised design using four concentration levels repeated six times.
Place and Duration of Study: Organic Chemistry Laboratory and Zoology Laboratory of Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences University of Lampung, between June 2015 and April 2016.
Methodology: This study used mouse as experimental animals with 24 female mouse, then mated with male mouse with a ratio (1 female: 1 male). After the vaginal plug was found in female mouse, then the essential oil of purple nutsedge tubers was induced orally (force-fed) according to the treatment dose. Each 6 female mice were grouped as a control group, and 3 treatment groups, consisting of controls (C) = 0.4 ml aquabides, treatment 1 (T1) = 4.5 mg/40g body weight, treatment 2 (T2) = 45 mg/40g body weight, and treatment 3 (T3) = 135 mg/40g body weight. After the one way Anova test, Ho is rejected, meaning there are significant differences and the analysis is continued with multiple comparison tests, in this case the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test is used.
Results: The results shown that the induction of essential oils of purple nutsedge tubers can reduce the level of β3 integrin protein in uterus mouse significantly.
Conclusion: It is suggested essential oil of purple nutsedge tubers has potential decrease and can reduce the level of β3 integrin protein in uterus mouse during the period of embryo implantation.

Aim: It consisted to identify the different species of traditional leafy vegetables consumed, to follow the technical process of production and to specifically evaluate the risk of microbial contamination of Amaranth from urban production in Daloa.
Study Design: This study focuses on the consumption of traditional leafy vegetables.
Place and Duration of Study: University of Jean Lorougnon Guédé of Daloa, Côte d’Ivoire, Laboratory of Biochemistry and Microbiology, UFR Agroforestry, BP 150 Daloa, between November 2018 and April 2019.
Methodology: On the study site, three planks of amaranth leave constituted a study block (sample). A total of 18 samples were analyzed. Then, mature Amaranth, ready for sale and then consumed, were subjected to microbiological characterization according to the standards.
Results: There are seven main species of leafy vegetables consumed by Daloa populations and Amaranth is one of the most widely consumed leaves. The monitoring of production of these vegetables revealed that many of the actors were adults (> 30 years old), dominated by the female gender (63 %) and illiterate (70 %). The inputs were poultry manure, a mixture of dung and beef purse. In addition, the technical production routes were empirical. Microbiological analyzes of Amaranth leaf from selected areas showed a high level of bacterial contamination. Including indicator of general pollution like mesophilic aerobic germs, yeasts and molds, enterobacteria and indicator of fecal origin were isolated. It has been noticed the presence of pathogenic species such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Salmonella sp in all productions.
Conclusion: Amaranth leaves produced in this area aren’t suitable for human consumption and could create some sanitary risk.

Studies involving critical values in recent time have mainly dwelt on compliance to timely reporting as well as the volumes of the individual reported critical analytes. There is paucity of data however, especially in this environment, on the relationships that exist between reported critical biochemical analytes and the presenting clinical conditions of the patients as at the time of the laboratory investigation. This study therefore sought to investigate such relationships.
This study is a retrospective study of data obtained in the year 2018 from the critical value register of the Department of Chemical Pathology, Babcock University Teaching Hospital Ilisan-Remo, Ogun state, Nigeria. Data obtained was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21.0. Level of statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Relationship between variables was determined using Chi-square Test.
In the year under review, a total of 270 critical values from various biochemical analytes were obtained; out of which 34.0% was potassium, representing the highest occurrence. Calcium had the highest proportion of its tests from the year having critical outcomes (2.2%) compared to other biochemical parameters. Kidney disease was the most frequently reported clinical condition (25.1%) with critical values of biochemical analytes. This study also showed a strong statistical association (p = 0.000) between diabetic ketoacidosis and critical levels of hyperkalemia, critical outcomes of hypocalcaemia and infection/sepsis as well as critical level of azotemia and pregnancy related complications.
This study has shown potassium as the most reported critical biochemical analyte which occurred mostly as cases of critical hyperkalemia. This was associated with a high burden of kidney diseases among the study population. The study has also drawn attention to the need for immediate and constant check of blood calcium and urea levels in patients that have sepsis and pregnancy related complications respectively.

Authors: Ken-Ezihuo Stella U. , S. Itatat Sigmund , S. Bartimaeus Ebirien-Agana 
Published: October 2019

Introduction: Accurate rapid diagnosis is one of the most important steps in the effort to reduce morbidity and mortality of malaria. Blood-specific malaria rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) are currently in use but reports on their sensitivity and specificity and comparison with the established blood film microscopy methods are dearth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the performance characteristics of Nova and SD bioline RTDs and compare with microscopic method as a reference standard to detect the presence of malaria parasites in the blood.
Methods: A total of 100 subjects were conveniently selected from consented subjects attending out-patient Department of Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, and the samples were analyzed using blood film examined with Giemsa staining technique and Nova and SD bioline kits.
Results: Of the 100 samples examined, 57(57%) were positive for malaria parasite by light microscopy, 37(37%) were positive by Nova and 22 (22%) were positive by SD bioline. The sensitivity of the two RDTs used were found to be 54% for Nova and 30% for SD bioline, the specificity were 86% for Nova and 88% for SD bioline, the PPV for Nova was 83% and 77% for SD bioline while the NPV for Nova was 59% and 49% for SD bioline. Percentage positivity of 50.9% and 49.1% for males and females respectively means that both sexes are equally susceptible to malaria parasites. There was a slight increase in parasitaemia in females (1931±2801) than males (1139±2415) but these results were not statistically significant (P >.27).
Conclusion: The SD bioline showed a very poor sensitivity in contrast to Nova and light microscopy. Inspite of the relative advantages of RDTs, microscopy remains the best method of detecting malaria parasite and Nova should be preferred to other RDTs.

Published: October 2019

The aim of this study is to examine the influence of one to five group formations on students’ capacity building. One hundred eighty students from Arba Minch University, College of Natural Science were selected as samples for this study. The data were collected by observation and from the questionnaire filled by the respondent. Empirical and theoretical findings obtained from this study will contribute to evaluating 1 to 5 grouping influence on statistics student’s capacity building in the University. The findings will help in the formulation of national and local teaching methods which is appropriate for the statistics course. A randomized complete block design model was used to compare students’ performance in classroom activities by using different study methods including 1 to 5 grouping. It was observed from experience that all the participants indicated they prefer to remain silent than to give a wrong answer when they do individually, and students’ participation was to a large extent influenced by the kind of feedback they get from their classmate when they answer a question. The findings revealed that, in 1 to 5 grouping, students had the willingness to answer questions in class. The results also show that 1 to 5 grouping was helpful in promoting a good classroom environment which is free from intimidation and fear of participation to see mistakes as part of the learning process and lead to the creation of new knowledge. Finally results indicated that students perform better regarding grade point activity/GPA when they study in 1 to 5 grouping.
Current Susceptibility Trend of Antibiotics in a Tertiary Care Hospital - Need to Emphasize on Alternate Therapeutic Agents
Authors: Khandait Manisha , Bansal Tapesh , Mandale Pankaj 
Published: October 2019

Introduction: In the light of changing anti-microbial resistance pattern, the understanding of the local antibiogram is essential in the antibiotic selection procedures and preparation of hospital antibiotic policy.
Aim: This retrospective study was aimed to analyze the antibacterial susceptibility pattern of major isolates from ICU and IPD.
Materials and Methods: Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done for a total of 565 Gram-negative isolates including E. coli, K. pnuemoniae, A. baumannnii and P. aeruginosa from ICU and IPD patients enrolled between July 2016 to December 2016.
Results: The majority of the isolates were reported from urine samples (52%) in IPD and sputum (59%) in ICU. The susceptibility to BL/BLI was 50-75% in IPD patients and Carbapenem susceptibility was reported in more than 75% except P. aeruginosa. In ICU patients, the beta-lactam/beta-lactam inhibitor (BL/BLI) susceptibility ranged between 20-60% and the carbapenem susceptibility was around 40%-75%. The susceptibility of CSE-1034 (Ceftriaxone + Sulbactam + EDTA) was almost similar to minocycline and amikacin ranging from 50-90% against different species. Compared to carbapenems, the CSE-1034 performed overall better than carbapenems against P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii and was comparable to carbapenems against Enterobacteriaceae. The susceptibility of colistin ranged from 92-97% in both IPD and ICU isolates.
Conclusion: Considering the value of carbapenems and colistin as the last option for multi-drug resistant (MDR) bacterial infections, irrational prescription of these drugs should be stopped. The use of ampicillin-sulbactam, cefepime and gentamicin from 1st line antibiotics in ICU patients can help to reduce the load on 2nd line antibiotics. Among 2nd line drugs, CSE-1034 along with amikacin should be an empirical choice of treatment for bacterial infections where the 1st line drugs are suspected to fail and the need of carbapenems arises.

Published: October 2019

Coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) has potential as a new oncolytic agent for the treatment of cancer but can induce severe pancreatitis. Here, we inserted target sequences of the microRNA miR‐375 (miR‐375TS) into the 5′ terminus of the polyprotein encoding sequence or into the 3′UTR of the CVB3 strain rCVB3.1 to prevent viral replication in the pancreas. In pancreatic EndoC‐βH1 cells expressing miR‐375 endogenously, replication of the 5′‐miR‐375TS virus and that of the 3′‐miR‐375TS virus was reduced by 4 × 103‐fold and 3.9 × 104‐fold, respectively, compared to the parental rCVB3.1. In colorectal carcinoma cells, replication and cytotoxicity of both viruses were slightly reduced compared to rCVB3.1, but less pronounced for the 3′‐miR‐375TS virus. Thus, CVB3 with miR‐375TS in the 3′UTR of the viral genome may be suitable to avoid pancreatic toxicity.

Published: October 2019

AbstractWe studied the effects of emulsifiers on the entrapment yields of a hydrophilic material, calcein, in lipid vesicles formed using the multiple emulsion method. The primary emulsion (W1/O) was prepared via sonication while the secondary emulsification that produced the W1/O/W2 multiple emulsions was achieved using the microchannel (MC) emulsification technique. The emulsifiers used in the continuous (W2) phase were Tween® 80, Pluronic® F68, and bovine serum albumin (BSA). Lipid vesicles formed via solvent evaporation of the multiple emulsion droplets had an average diameter of about 180 nm, similar to the size of the water droplets in the primary W1/O emulsions. The entrapment yields of calcein increased with decreasing concentrations of Tween® 80 but decreased with decreasing concentrations of Pluronic® F68 and BSA. The effects of type and concentration of emulsifier were considered in relation to three possible mechanisms: (i) destabilization/solubilization of lipid bilayers by emulsifiers, (ii) reversed‐micellar transport of W1 contents from internal to external water phases through the O phase, and (iii) release of inner water (W1) contents into the continuous (W2) phase via the instability of W1/O/W2 and leakage of W1 contents. Using the food grade emulsifier Tween® 80 at a low concentration of about 0.1 or 0.05 wt%, calcein as a model hydrophilic material could be efficiently entrapped (ca. 80%) in homogenously dispersed lipid vesicles.
