Marginal Pleasures and the Curve of Indifference: The Value of Pleasure in Late Henry James
Authors: Gilbert Geoff 
Published: July 2021

Cet article établit une corrélation entre, d’une part, l’obscurité et le statut professionnel des derniers écrits de Henry James et, d’autre part, l’essor hégémonique de l’économie marginaliste. L’un comme l’autre fondent leurs descriptions de la réalité et de la valeur sur l’expérience subjective individuelle, mais développent des méthodes abstraites pour en rendre compte. Dans ce processus, le théâtre du plaisir et de la douleur se trouve déplacé. Ainsi, rendre compte de la domination croissante du marginalisme et de l’utilisation émergente du calcul différentiel dans le cadre de la spécialisation de l’économie – la façon dont l’économie devient la science de l’économie plutôt que l’étude de la vie – éclaire le raffinement et la spécialisation de la forme romanesque – à tel point peut-être que le roman prend pour sujet la littérature plutôt que l’étude de la vie – dans l’œuvre tardive de James. À travers sa lecture du roman inachevé de James, The Ivory Tower, cet article se demande si lire James au prisme de l’économie conforte ou ébranle les lectures queer qui assertent un plaisir textuel transformateur chez James. À cette fin, il se concentre sur les formes arrondies – courbes d’objets coûteux et corps arrondis en quête de plaisir – et la manière dont la prose évasive de James se rapproche, dans un mouvement d’abstraction, de ces lignes courbes de beauté et de plaisir.
Between the Need to “revolt” and The Need to “belong”: Yank and the “damned capitalist clarss” in Eugene O’Neill’s The Hairy Ape
Authors: Nejib Hizi Mohamed 
Published: July 2021

Parlant de The Hairy Ape (Le Singe Velu) (1921), le dramaturge américain Eugene O’Neill déclarait que la pièce ne portait pas « superficiellement sur les conditions de travail […] mais sur l’Homme, sur l’état de vaine perplexité qui nous implique tous. » Malgré cette direction tenue dans une certaine mesure dans le drame, la pièce est incontestablement basée sur la lutte des classes. D’une part, les sentiments socialistes et anarchistes du dramaturge sont maintenus tout au long de la pièce, dans son identification avec les conditions de travail des marins, et dans les caricatures faites des membres de la bourgeoisie. D’autre part, la veine socialiste est dépassée par des spéculations de nature humaniste, psychologique et nihiliste dans le traitement des ouvriers, notamment le protagoniste Yank, et ce en un discours qui masque le débat socialiste. En s’appuyant sur une lecture néo-historiciste, cet article propose en premier lieu de localiser les zones d’autonomisation offertes aux ouvriers, et en second lieu, d’investiguer les structures de pouvoir informant la représentation des classes ouvrières et moyennes. Seront ainsi dévoilés les projets idéologiques, historiques et culturels du discours psychologique (du Modernisme) que le dramaturge ne cesse d’inscrire dans la pièce, ainsi que les complicités établies avec les discours socialistes et anarchistes de l’époque.
La durabilité de l’administration publique et sa base organisationnelle
Authors: Trondal Jarle 
Published: July 2021

Profitant d’un nouvel ensemble de données couvrant près d’un demi-siècle, la présente étude sonde la durabilité de la gouvernance publique. Sur le plan théorique, nous examinons comment la gouvernance publique durable repose sur son tissu organisationnel. L’étude met en lumière la manière dont les facteurs organisationnels influencent systématiquement le comportement décisionnel et donc la durabilité de la gouvernance publique. En outre, l’étude soutient que, étant donné que la structure organisationnelle est soumise à des manipulations délibérées, elle peut donc être un instrument de conception important du contexte de choix dans la gouvernance publique. En conséquence, l’article offre une possibilité de jeter des ponts entre le monde universitaire et le monde des praticiens de l’administration publique. Sur le plan empirique et méthodologique, l’étude offre : un nouvel ensemble de données longitudinales et à grand nombre N (13 173) qui s’étend sur cinq points d’observation en 1976, 1986, 1996, 2006 et 2016 ; neuf enquêtes au niveau des ministères et des agences ; et plusieurs générations d’agents de l’État. L’ensemble des données démontre globalement que la durabilité administrative de l’administration publique et la gouvernance publique durable reposent sur son tissu organisationnel. Remarques à l’intention des praticiens Une administration publique durable est une condition nécessaire à la prestation de services publics. Basée sur des observations qui s’étendent sur 40 ans (de 1976 à 2016), la présente étude permet de retracer systématiquement les processus de gouvernance publique sur un demi-siècle. Deuxièmement, notre étude examine comment la gouvernance publique durable repose sur son tissu organisationnel. Les facteurs organisationnels influencent systématiquement le comportement décisionnel et, sans doute, la gouvernance administrative. En outre, la structure organisationnelle est soumise à des manipulations délibérées, et peut donc être un instrument de conception important du contexte de choix dans la gouvernance publique. En conséquence, l’article offre une possibilité de jeter des ponts entre le monde universitaire et le monde des praticiens de l’administration publique.
Racial/Ethnic Differences in Stress, Coping, and Distress Among Mothers With a Child in the ICU
Authors: Ernst Mary E. , Williams Jessica Roberts , McCabe Brian E. 
Published: July 2021

Background
Having a child in the intensive care unit (ICU) is a stressful event that can cause negative mental health outcomes for parents, but little is known about the experience of parental stress among members of racial/ethnic minority groups.

Objective
To examine the stress and coping process in a racially/ethnically diverse sample of mothers of a child who was acutely admitted to an ICU.

Methods
Participants (N = 103) completed a cross-sectional self-report survey; 86.4% completed it within a week of their child’s ICU admission. Analysis of variance was used to examine racial/ethnic differences in perceived ICU-related stressors, coping behaviors, and distress level. Linear regression was used to examine the moderating effects of race/ethnicity on the relationships between stressors, coping behaviors, and distress.

Results
Mothers across racial group experienced similar stressors during the acute phase of their child’s ICU admission. African American mothers reported greater overall use of coping behaviors, particularly avoidance coping, and experienced higher levels of distress than did Hispanic or non-Hispanic White mothers. Hispanic mothers experienced the least distress. The interaction of race/ethnicity and emotion-focused coping moderated the stress and coping process.

Conclusions
Racial and ethnic diversity in sampling should be a priority in future studies of the stress and coping process of mothers with a child in an ICU. Critical care nurses should minimize known stressors for these mothers and encourage and support their preferred coping behaviors, recognizing that these may differ across racial/ethnic groups.
Sleep and other Non-motor Symptoms in Patients with Idiopathic Oromandibular Dystonia and Meige Syndrome
Authors: Ray Somdattaa , Kutty Bindu , Pal Pramod Kumar , Yadav Ravi 
Published: July 2021

Introduction:
Non-motor symptoms are an essential cause of comorbidity in generalized and focal dystonia. However, there are few studies on dystonia involving the craniofacial regions.

Methods:
We studied non-motor symptoms in patients with oromandibular dystonia (OMD) and Meige syndrome using a questionnaire, and validated instruments for depression, anxiety, REM behaviour disorder, restless leg syndrome, sleep quality, excessive daytime sleepiness, and self-esteem. The severity of dystonia and blepharospasm was also studied.

Results:
Nineteen patients with OMD were recruited into the study. Among patients with OMD, depression was seen in 63.6% (n = 7), sleep impairment in 27.3% (n = 3), excessive daytime sleepiness in 27.3% (n = 3), and poor self- esteem in 18.2% (n = 2) of the patients. Among patients with Meige syndrome, depression was seen in 37.5% (n = 3), sleep impairment in 12.5% (n = 1), excessive daytime sleepiness in 25% (n = 2), low self-esteem in 25% (n = 2) of the patients.

Conclusion:
This study highlights the significant frequency of depression and sleep disturbances in patients with idiopathic OMD and Meige syndrome.

Authors: Bansal Somendra , Rupala Ketankumar G. , Ghosh Prasun , Khera Rakesh , Kumar Deepak , Ahlawat Rajesh 
Published: July 2021

Introduction:
The end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population is increasing worldwide and organ shortage is an important issue. The disparity between the availability of organs and waitlisted patients for transplants has forced many transplant centers across the world to use marginal kidney donors. We assess and compare postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients who received a graft from marginal renal donor (MRD) versus those who received a graft from standard renal donor (SRD).

Methods:
A total of 214 patients with ESRD underwent open live donor renal allografting from September 2015 to September 2017. Out of 214 donors, 165 (77.1%) were SRD and 49 (22.9%) were MRD. Post-transplant eGFR was calculated at 2 months for donors and at days 1, 3, 5, and 7 and month 1, 3, 6, and 12 for recipients.

Results:
There was no statistically significant difference in eGFR of recipients at preoperative and postoperative period between SRD and MRD groups. Although at 12 months of follow–up eGFR was relatively high in SRD group, it did not show any statistically significant difference. The recipient survival rate at 1-year follow-up was 98.2% in SRD and 100% in MRD group.

Conclusions:
Renal transplant recipients using MRDs have a comparable glomerular filtration rate to SRDs at the end of 1 year. Short-term outcomes in recipients receiving marginal renal grafts were similar when compared to the allograft from standard donors.
A comparative study between two techniques of laparoscopic orchiopexy for intra-abdominal testis
Authors: Bawazir Osama Abdullah , Maghrabi Abdulrahman M. 
Published: July 2021

Introduction:
Several techniques have been described for laparoscopic orchidopexy in patients with intra-abdominal testes. We aimed to report our experience with the staged laparoscopic traction orchiopexy (Shehata technique) and to compare it to the Fowler-Stephens orchidopexy (FSLO).

Methods:
We conducted a retrospective cohort study at two pediatric surgery departments from 2017 to 2020. Fifty-six patients underwent laparoscopic exploration and the testis was intra-abdominal in 41 of them. Patients with vanished testis or those who underwent open orchidopexy or vessel-intact laparoscopic orchidopexy were excluded. Those who underwent FSLO (n = 18), or Shehata laparoscopic orchidopexy (n = 11) were compared.

Results:
Preoperative data were comparable between both the groups. FSLO had a significantly shorter first-stage operative time (34.61 ± 6.43 vs. 58 ± 9.39 min, P < 0.001), with no difference in the second stage. There was no difference in the initial position of the testes between both the techniques. The testis dropped from the fixation position in three patients in the Shehata group (27.27%), and consequently, the cord did not increase in length by the second stage, and these testes barely reached the scrotum. At 12 months’ follow-up, the testes’ size, position, and consistency were comparable between the two groups.

Conclusion:
Staged laparoscopic traction orchidopexy is feasible for the management of intra-abdominal testes, especially in the low-lying testes.
Loneliness in Patients with Schizophrenia
Authors: Liao Hui-Yuan , Lee Yu , Hsu Su-Ting , Yen Cheng-Fang 
Published: July 2021

Background:
The treatment goals for patients with schizophrenia are to address subjective well-being, quality of life, and recovery in recent decades. Loneliness is a negative subjective feeling and related to social isolation, which is thought to be a barrier to recovery. Few research exist to study loneliness in-depth in patients with schizophrenia.

Methods:
In this review, the authors intend to address the issues of the prevalence, the impacts, the associated factors, and the interventions of loneliness in patients with schizophrenia.

Results:
Studies showed that patients with schizophrenia have a greater degree of loneliness than those without. The physical and mental health problems associated with loneliness in patients with schizophrenia include hypertension, high blood level of glycated hemoglobin, activated hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal axis, poor subjective quality of life, depression, anxiety, suicide, use of addictive substances, high perceived stress, low self-esteem, low sense of pleasure, pessimism, and low resilience. From an ecological approach, loneliness in patients with schizophrenia is associated with several personal disease factors, personal cognitive factors, personal socioeconomic factors, community integration, and residence. Social prescribing projects, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and positive psychology interventions have been used to reduce loneliness in patients with schizophrenia.

Conclusion:
Loneliness is an important indicator of the physical and mental health in patients with schizophrenia. Several factors associated with loneliness in patients with schizophrenia have been identified in the past studies. Further intervention research are required for establish effective methods to reduce loneliness in patients with schizophrenia.
Prescription Patterns and Trends of Anxiolytics and Hypnotics/sedatives Among Child and Adolescent Patients with Psychiatric Illnesses in a Psychiatric Center of Northern Taiwan
Authors: Cheng Shu-Wen , Sun Hsiao-Ju , Chan Hung-Yu 
Published: July 2021

Background:
The prevalence of prescriptions of anxiolytics and hypnotics/sedatives for child and adolescent patients with psychiatric illnesses is increasing over the world. No studies exist to focus on the prescription trends and patterns of anxiolytics and hypnotics/sedatives for child and adolescent patients in psychiatric hospitals of Taiwan.

Methods:
In this retrospective study for all outpatients who were equal or younger than 18 years of age in a psychiatric service, we collected related study variables from the study psychiatric services from 2006 to 2015. Reviewing the electronic medical information system, we extracted both patients' demographic or clinical data (such as sex, age, as well as psychiatric diagnoses), and prescriptions of anxiolytics and hynotics/sedatives.

Results:
During the study period, the proportion of patients received anxiolytics and hypnotics/sedatives was decreased significantly (from 9.16% in 2006 to 5.85% in 2015, p < 0.001). The proportion of patients received anxiolytics was significantly decreased (from 5.34% in 2006 to 4.54% in 2015, p > 0.05), while hypnotics/sedatives was also decreased significantly (from 5.35% to 2.27%, p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that the use of anxiolytics and hypnotics/sedatives was significantly associated with age (p < 0.001), gender (p < 0.001), patients' status of catastrophic illnesses (p < 0.001), and diseases (p < 0.001).

Conclusion:
Anxiolytics and hypnotics/sedatives have the rôles in the treatment of child and adolescent patients with psychiatric Illnesses. Clinicians should be aware of the adverse events of these medications and prescribe them carefully for this population. Certainly, we need more well-designed clinical studies to study the safety and efficacy of anxiolytics and hypnotics/sedatives medications for children and adolescents.
Tractor use and agricultural productivity in Nigeria: Prospects and challenges
Authors: Umar M.B. , Yarima M.M. , Yusuf O.E. , Adetayo A. , Salihu M. 
Published: July 2021

The objectives of this study were to examine the role of tractor use in agricultural mechanisation, explore the prospects of tractor use in Nigeria and identify the challenges of tractor use in agriculture in Nigeria. The study adopted literature review; whereby secondary data have been used. The assumption of the study was that improvement in farming is directly connected with improvement in farmer’s income and livelihood. Also, that mechanised agriculture is necessary for productivity, and by implication increases profit in farm production. Tractor is one of the major farm tools that enhance mechanisation in agriculture. Therefore, incorporating the mechanisation, notably tractor is essential because it affects the farmer’s livelihoods and living conditions. The finding of the study indicated that tractor plays significant role as it is established that crop-production increased through tractor use, which increased the farmers’ income, giving room for increased production capacity thereby enabling the farmers to settle some of their outstanding debts. The study also found that tractor has prospect in Nigeria because recent development in economic diversification which emphasised agribusiness in the country portends movement towards application of intensive farm labour. However, there are some noticeable challenges associated with tractor use in Nigeria. One of these challenges is un-affordability because tractor use is very costly. Other challenges are under-utilisation, lackof knowledgeable personnel to manage the tool, lack of spare parts; and government-run tractor hire schemes are not effective because they are in a state of collapse. The study therefore concluded that tractor use is a necessary evil in Nigeria, because despite its displacement tendency and cost, the increasing population of Nigeria calls for investing in mechanised agriculture for increasing productivity, improving farmers’ income and livelihood, and above all achieving food security.

Soils on coastal plain sands of southeastern Nigeria have hitherto been referred to as fragile sandy and acidic soils of low base saturation, cation exchange capacity (CEC) and fertility, as evidenced by the extensive land degradation evident in the region. This underscores the need for the characterization of the soils for sustainable use. Three profile pits were therefore dug on the upper, middle and bottom slopes of three towns in the rainforest belt underlain by the coastal plain sands. The results showed that the topsoil of the soils was generally sandy, with relatively more clayey subsoil. The pH ranged from extremely acidic (< 4.4) to slightly acidic (6.1- 6.5). They had low organic matter, low total nitrogen, low effective CEC, low Al saturation and moderate base saturation. The soils of the upper and the middle slopes were classified as Arenic Kandiudult by the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Soil Taxonomy or as Chromic Acrisols by the World Reference Base (WRB) for Soil Resources classification system, while that of the bottom slope was classified as a TypicDystrudept (USDA Soil Taxonomy) / Dystric Cambisol (WRB classification system). The upper slope had a USDA land capability class of IIes and a United States Bureau for Reclamation (USBR) land capability class of 2v/C. The middle slope and the bottom slope both had USDA and USBR capability class of IVs and 3v/C, respectively. Though moderately to marginally irrigable, the soils can still produce increased and sustainable agricultural yield if the appropriate land use and husbandry practices are adopted.

The fire experimental plot of a total landed area of 0.174 ha was divided into three equal parts designated Plot A, Plot B and Plot C, corresponding to the early burnt, the late burnt and the control plot, respectively. Out of the 15 species of trees identified, six species belong to Fabaceae- Mimosoideae family and other families represented are Combretaceae, Meliaceae, Lamiaceae, Rubiaceae, Anacardiaceae, Urtiaceae and Sapotaceae. Gmelina arborea was the most abundant species and it was found in plot A, B and C. The diversity indices enumerated were Dominance index, Simpson index, Shannon index or diversity index and evenness index. Plot C had the highest abundance (species count), followed by Plot A and Plot B. While Plot B depicted a high dominance, dominance was low in Plot A and lowest in Plot C. This means that a particular species was dominating Plot B, which was Gmelina arborea. This Gmelina arborea also dominated Plot A but to a lesser extent compared to Plot B. Plot C was richer in species than Plot A and Plot B. The Shannon index was low across the three plots, but considerably highest in Plot C. Evenness index was moderate at Plot C, implying that there was an even distribution of tree species in Plot C, while evenness was low at Plot A and Plot B. Comparing the present data with the older data, it is clear that the fire experimental plot has undergone deforestation over the years, which requires urgent attention and reforestation.

Educational Roles in Corpus-Based Education: From Shift to Diversification
Authors: Karlsen Petter Hagen 
Published: July 2021

This study discusses the educational roles afforded by the use of linguistic corpora as a teaching tool in pre-tertiary education and explores upper secondary students’ opinions and experiences of educational roles following corpus-based lessons. The data were collected through group interviews of 20 students following a two-week period where the students’ regular English teacher collaborated with the researcher/author to plan and implement a corpus-based approach in two first-year upper secondary school classes. The interview subjects were selected from the 69 total students across the two classes based on the teacher’s recommendations and the researcher’s observations throughout the implementation period.
The results show that during the largely student-centered, corpus-based approach, students felt that the teacher was absent and unengaging at times, but that they were used to “self-study” in his lessons. The students also wanted more variation in the approaches taken by their teacher beyond purely student-centered ones. This paper advocates for a diversification of educational roles where both teachers and learners adopt and change between different roles depending on the particular situation. At the same time, the call for role shifts in the corpus-based education literature is criticized in favor of a change in discourse toward one of role diversification.
