Background
The influence of mothers’ and fathers’ educational levels in separate evaluations of asthma has not been fully investigated. This study aims to examine the associations of the mother’s and fathers’ educational levels with childhood wheeze and asthma adjusting for crude and pre-and post-natal modifiable risk factors.

Methods
We conducted a prospective cohort study using data from the Japan Environment and Children’s Study, which recruited pregnant women from 2011 to 2014. The mother’s and father’s educational levels were surveyed by a questionnaire during the pregnancy, and childhood wheezing and doctor-diagnosed asthma were estimated using a 3-year questionnaire. Multilevel logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between the mother’s and father’s educational levels and childhood wheezing and asthma, adjusted for pre-and post-natal factors.

Results
A total of 69,607 pairs of parents and their single infants were analyzed. We found 17.3% of children had wheezing and 7.7% had asthma. In crude analyses, lower educational level of parents was associated with an increased risk of childhood wheezing and asthma. After full adjustment, a lower educational level of mothers was associated with an increased risk of childhood asthma (junior high school (reference: high school); odds ratio (OR): 1.17, 95% CI, 1.01–1.36), and higher educational level, especially the mother’s, was associated with an increased risk of childhood wheezing (technical junior college, technical/vocational college, or associate degree (ECD3); OR: 1.12, 95% CI, 1.06–1.18, bachelor’s degree, or postgraduate degree; OR: 1.10, 95% CI, 1.03–1.18), and asthma (ECD3; OR: 1.13, 95% CI, 1.04–1.21).

Conclusions
Parents’ lower educational level was a crude risk factor for childhood wheezing and asthma. However, an increased risk of wheezing due to mothers’ higher educational level was found after adjusting for pre-and post-natal factors.

Objetivos: Evaluar las características clínicas, el grado de control de la enfermedad y calidad de vida de cuidadores de pacientes y pacientes asignados al «Programa de Atención al Niño Asmático» en un centro de atención primaria. Métodos: Estudio descriptivo observacional, con recolección prospectiva de datos procedentes de 3 cuestionarios estandarizados, entregados al paciente o cuidadores: Asthma Control Questionnaire(ACQ)TM, Paediatric Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire(PAQLQ)TM y Paediatric Asthma Caregivers Quality of Life Questionnaire(PACQLQ)TM y recolección retrospectiva de datos procedentes de la historia clínica. La muestra proviene del “Programa de Atención al Niño Asmático” de un centro de salud. Resultados: El 40% de los pacientes presentaban antecedente materno o paterno de asma y el 80% antecedente personal de dermatitis atópica, rinitis alérgica o alergia alimentaria. La media de los resultados de las escalas fue de ACQTM: 0.87 +/- 1.06 puntos (rango 0 – 3.6). Media de resultado PAQLQTM: 6.08 +/- 0.77 (rango 5 – 7). Media de PACQLQTM: 5.48 +/- 1.06 (rango 3 – 7). En pacientes con ACQTM <0.5 puntos, la media de puntuación en PACQLQTM fue de: 6.30 +/- 0.83. En pacientes con ACQTM >1 fue de: 4.66 +/- 0.72. Conclusiones: La presencia de atopia personal y el antecedente familiar de asma es el factor de riesgo más relacionado con el desarrollo de asma en nuestro estudio. El grado de control de asma en la muestra es mejorable, relacionándose un peor control de la enfermedad con peor puntuación en la escala de calidad de vida, siendo necesario implementar medidas de mejora en el ámbito educativo, clínico y asistencial.
Sens et puissance
Authors: Jean Gégori 
Published: April 2021

Paroles du Christ constitue le testament philosophique de Michel Henry. Non seulement parce qu’il s’agit de son dernier livre, mais aussi parce que quelque chose de nouveau et d’ancien affleure, comme une nouvelle perspective sur ce qu’il n’aura cessé d’appeler « la vie ». Après l’exploration systématique de la « vérité du christianisme » dans son opposition à la « vérité du monde », puis de la chair et de l’incarnation dans leur hétérogénéité à l’égard de l’objectivité du corps mondain, Henry aurait ultimement tenté de rejouer la « duplicité de l’apparaître » du point de vue du langage, dans la distinction clairement assumée de la parole de la vie et de la parole du monde. Or il n’en est rien : non seulement parce que cette duplicité du langage traverse tous les textes consacrés par Henry au christianisme et n’a rien d’une problématique « régionale », mais aussi parce que, loin d’en être le point d’arrivée, il constitue sans doute son véritable point de départ.
Notes préparatoires à Incarnation
Authors: Henry Michel 
Published: April 2021

Cet article présente des notes inédites de Michel Henry préparatoires à son ouvrage « Incarnation ». Elles donnent de précieux aperçus sur la manière dont Henry concevait l’articulation – profondément nouvelle dans son œuvre – des problématiques de la chair et de l’incarnation et soulignent explicitement les enjeux indissociablement éthiques et sotériologiques.
« Inconscient et refoulement selon la phénoménologie de la vie »
Authors: Proença Nuno Miguel 
Published: April 2021

Cette étude met M. Henry en confrontation avec Freud, sur la question de l’inconscient et du refoulement. M. Henry dénonce la tentation idéologique des lectures de la théorie freudienne qui viendraient cacher précisément l’originalité de la pensée de Freud – tentation qui est elle-même liée aux présupposés scientistes de ce dernier –, mais il ne cesse d’affirmer que la psychanalyse « propose une nouvelle conception de la phénoménologie », en ceci qu’elle prône le caractère subjectif et immanent de la vie à l’encontre de l’extériorité du monde. Nuno Miguel Proença situe ainsi d’emblée le lecteur dans ce rapport complexe de M. Henry à Freud.
L' intersubjectivité chez Michel Henry comme passage de l’« égoïté » à la « nostrité »
Authors: Mandiangu Robby 
Published: April 2021

C’est à la confrontation entre M. Henry et Husserl sur la question de l’intersubjectivité que s’attache cette contribution. D’après Robby Mandiangu, M. Henry critiquerait la réduction husserlienne d’autrui à un alter ego, c’est-à-dire à un objet posé sous le regard de l’ego transcendantal : un « autre » défini toujours à partir de l’ego. Aux antipodes de toute extase intentionnelle, la notion d’intersubjectivité renvoie chez M. Henry à l’immanence du rapport de la vie à elle-même. Ainsi, l’auteur rappelle que c’est en fonction de ce rapport de tous les vivants au pathos de la Vie que le passage de l’« égoïté » à la « nostrité » peut s’opérer. En revisitant la critique henryenne de l’intersubjectivité intentionnelle dans Phénoménologie matérielle et en la complétant par les analyses sur la philosophie du christianisme dans C’est moi la vérité, Robby Mandiangu retrace le passage d’une « égoïté » à une « nostrité », notamment à partir de l’analyse de la notion de pathos.
« L’être rivé à soi » et son intrigue narrative : Levinas et Henry, phénoménologues-romanciers.
Authors: Del Mastro Cesare 
Published: April 2021

Un travail de génétique textuelle sur des notes manuscrites inédites révélant la lecture par le jeune M. Henry du Temps et l’autre d’Emmanuel Levinas permet à l’auteur de cet article d’avancer l’hypothèse d’après laquelle le tournant henryen vers l’apparaître immanent et invisible de la subjectivité comme « être acculé à soi » est motivé, entre autres, par sa lecture de cet ouvrage, et notamment par la figure lévinassienne de « l’être rivé à soi ».
Equivariant Ulrich bundles on exceptional homogeneous varieties

We prove that the only rational homogeneous varieties with Picard number 1 of the exceptional algebraic groups admitting irreducible equivariant Ulrich vector bundles are the Cayley plane E
6/P
1 and the E
7-adjoint variety E

4 of the Cayley plane also has an equivariant but non-irreducible Ulrich bundle.
Exotic Steiner chains in Miquelian Möbius planes of odd order
Authors: Hungerbühler Norbert , Villiger Gideon 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
In the Euclidean plane, two circles that intersect or are tangent clearly do not carry a finite Steiner chain of circles. We show that such exotic Steiner chains exist in finite Miquelian Möbius planes of odd order. We obtain explicit conditions in terms of the order of the plane and the capacitance of the two carrier circles for the existence, length, and number of Steiner chains.
Compact null hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds
Authors: Atindogbé C. , Gutiérrez M. , Hounnonkpe R. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
We show how the topological and geometric properties of the family of null hypersurfaces in a Lorentzian manifold are related with the properties of the ambient manifold itself. In particular, we focus in how the presence of global symmetries and curvature conditions restrict the existence of compact null hypersurfaces. We use these results to show the influence on the existence of compact totally umbilic null hypersurfaceswhich are not totally geodesic. Finally we describe the restrictions that they impose in causality theory.
Stratégie Pour la Corée
Authors: Guex Samuel ,   (traduction et annotation)*
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The following pages provide an annotated translation in French of “Chaoxian celue” (Strategy for Korea), an influential document in the history of modern East Asia. The author, Huang Zunxian (1848–1905), was the counselor of the first Chinese minister assigned to Japan in 1877, He Ruzhang (1838–1891). Their contacts with Japanese and Western diplomats brought both men to the conclusion that China should encourage Korea to conclude treaties with Western nations. In 1880, Huang Zunxian developed their views in a booklet “Chaoxian celue,” in which he urged Korea to “keep close to China, strengthen ties with Japan, and ally with the United States.” He presented it to Kim Hong-jip (1842–1896), head of a Korean diplomatic mission to Japan, who submitted it to King Gojong upon his return to Korea. Huang’s treatise made a strong impression on King Gojong and was instrumental in steering Korea toward an open-door policy.
The vital centre: understanding the concept of Yao
要 in the Han Feizi 韓非子
Authors: Brusadelli Federico 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The eighth chapter of the Han Feizi is dedicated to the ways of “wielding power” (揚權). As the entire book attributed to Master Han Fei is arguably dedicated to the problem of power – establishing, exerting and protecting it from external and internal enemies, this section of the book is crucial for the entire text. The present article starts from the term “yao 要” and applies the method of conceptual history to this pre-imperial text. It intends to shed light on the conceptual associations between the survival of the State, the ruler’s position, the importance of a political centre, and the use of objective ruling techniques, within a newly conceived “political sphere” with its own laws and necessities. The paper then addresses the heritage of the Han Feizi to conceptualizations of politics during the imperial period, eventually considering the function of the ruler in Han Fei’s thought.
Numerical lists of foundational knowledge in early Chinese and early Buddhist traditions
Authors: Grebnev Yegor 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
In this paper, I compare the material in the Pāli canon of Theravada Buddhism, a textual tradition famous for the abundance of numerical lists, with certain chapters of the Yi Zhou shu 逸周書 and chapter “Hong fan” 洪範 of the Shang shu 尚書, where numerical lists are equally important. I propose a classification of the insufficiently studied numerical lists in the Yi Zhou shu and point out the divergences in them, suggesting that they were produced by competing communities that developed slightly discordant systems of knowledge. I compare the evolution of complex frameworks of numerical lists in the Buddhist traditions and in early China, arguing that both created comprehensive systems of knowledge-practice out of simpler lists. The peculiar form of numerical lists as vehicles of systematised knowledge-practice attested in both cultures may have originated in hierarchical communities with indisputable knowledge authority. Such communities are known to have existed in early Buddhism, and they have convincing parallels in China’s contemporary political practice, where numerical lists are used to unify the patterns of thinking and behaviour in hierarchical groups.
Solving systems of fractional two-dimensional nonlinear partial Volterra integral equations by using Haar wavelets

Published: April 2021

Abstract
The main aim of this paper is to use the operational matrices of
fractional integration of Haar wavelets to find the numerical
solution for a nonlinear system of two-dimensional fractional
partial Volterra integral equations. To do this, first we present the operational
matrices of fractional integration of Haar wavelets. Then we apply
these matrices to solve systems of two-dimensional fractional partial Volterra integral equations (2DFPVIE). Also, we present the error analysis and convergence as well. At the end, some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.
Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency type C as a differential diagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis
Authors: Doğulu Neslihan , Öncül Ümmühan , Köse Engin , Aycan Zehra , Eminoğlu Fatma Tuba 
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Type C pyruvate carboxylase (PC) deficiency is extremely rare, and has been described in only a few patients in literature to date. Herein, we present the case of a four-year-old patient admitted with diabetic ketoacidosis and diagnosed with type C PC deficiency based on clinical and biochemical findings.

Case presentation
A Turkish girl was referred to the intensive care unit at the age of three-years with a three-day history of vomiting and abdominal pain. Upon physical examination, the patient was found to be experiencing lethargy, dehydration, and Kussmaul breathing. Hyperglycemia, metabolic acidosis, and ketonemia were detected. Clinical and laboratory findings pointed to a prediagnosis of diabetic ketoacidosis. Intravenous fluid, bicarbonate, and insulin treatments were initiated. Elevated alanine and proline levels were recorded in plasma amino acid analysis, while urinary organic acid level analysis revealed increased lactate, pyruvate, 3-OH-butyrate, and acetoacetate levels. Whole exome sequencing revealed homozygous c.584C>T (p.Ala195Val) mutation in the PC gene.

Conclusions
To date, there have been no reports in literature of type C phenotype patients manifesting with DKA. Our case is the first case with the type C phenotype to be admitted with clinical and laboratory findings of DKA.
Importance of individualizing treatment decisions in girls with central precocious puberty when initiating treatment after age 7 years or continuing beyond a chronological age of 10 years or a bone age of 12 years
Authors: Vargas Trujillo Marcela , Dragnic Sanja , Aldridge Petra , Klein Karen O. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist treatment is important for optimal growth in girls with central precocious puberty (CPP). Data are lacking regarding benefit to height outcome when treatment is started after chronological age (CA) of 7 years, and if continued beyond CA of 10 years or bone age (BA) of 12 years.

Methods
Forty-eight girls with CPP were treated with monthly leuprolide depot. Change in predicted adult height (PAH) during treatment was assessed. Changes in PAH and growth velocity were compared between girls initiating treatment at CA <7 vs. ≥7 years, and BA ≥12 vs. BA <12 years.

Results
Mean baseline CA was 6.8 years, BA, 10.2 years; and PAH, 156.4 cm. BA/CA ratio decreased from pretreatment values, averaging 1.5 to 1.2 at the end of treatment. Proportion of girls with >5 cm PAH change during treatment was similar, and PAH increased throughout treatment in most girls, regardless of age at treatment initiation. PAH continued to increase in 16/19 girls who continued treatment after BA of 12 years, and also in 16/22 girls who continued treatment after CA of 10 years.

Conclusions
PAH improved in most girls who initiated treatment after CA of 7 years. It continued to improve in most girls with longer treatment, even past BA of 12 years or CA of 10 years, which suggests that no absolute CA or BA limit should define initiation or end of treatment. Treatment plans need to be individualized, and neither treatment initiation nor cessation should be based on BA or CA alone.
Diagnostic accuracy of modified Hadlock formula for fetal macrosomia in women with gestational diabetes and pregnancy weight gain above recommended
Authors: Lovrić Boris , Šijanović Siniša , Lešin Joško , Juras Josip 
Published: April 2021

Abstract

Objectives
Women with gestational diabetes (GDM) and weight gain during pregnancy above recommended more often give birth to macrosomic children. The goal of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the modified formula for ultrasound assessment of fetal weight created in a pilot study using a similar specimen in comparison to the Hadlock-2 formula.

Methods
This is a prospective, cohort, applicative, observational, quantitative, and analytical study, which included 213 pregnant women with a singleton pregnancy, GDM, and pregnancy weight gain above recommended. Participants were consecutively followed in the time period between July 1st, 2016, and August 31st, 2020. Ultrasound estimations were made within three days before the delivery. Fetal weights estimated using both formulas were compared to the newborns’ weights.

Results
A total of 133 fetal weight estimations were made. In comparison to the newborns’ weight modified formula had significantly smaller deviation in weight estimation compared to the Hadlock-2 formula, higher frequency of deviation within 5% of newborns weights (78.2% [95% CI=0.74–0.83] vs. 60.2%), smaller frequency of deviations from 5 to 10% (19.5 vs. 33.8%) and above 10%, which was even more significant among macrosomic children. There were 36/50 (72%) correctly diagnosed cases of macrosomia by modified and 33/50 (66%) by Hadlock-2 formula. Area under the curve (AUC) for the modified formula was 0.854 (95% CI=0.776–0.932), and for the Hadlock-2 formula 0.824 (95% CI=0.740–0.908). The positive predictive value of the modified formula was 81.81%, the negative 97.91%.

Conclusions
In cases of greater fetal weights, the modified formula showed greater precision.
Remarkable photoluminescence enhancement of CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots assisted by metallic thin films

Abstract
All-inorganic cesium lead halide perovskite quantum dots have recently received much attention as promising optoelectronic materials with great luminescent properties and bright application prospect in lighting, lasing, and photodetection. Although notable progress has been achieved in lighting applications based on such media, the performance could still be improved. Here, we demonstrate that the light emission from the perovskite QDs that possess high intrinsic luminous efficiency can be greatly enhanced by using metallic thin films, a technique that was usually considered only useful for improving the emission of materials with low intrinsic quantum efficiency. Eleven-fold maximal PL enhancement is observed with respect to the emission of perovskite QDs on the bare dielectric substrate. We explore this remarkable enhancement of the light emission originating from the joint effects of enhancing the incident photonic absorption of QDs at the excitation wavelength by means of the zero-order optical asymmetric Fabry–Perot-like thin film interference and increasing the radiative rate and quantum efficiency at the emission wavelength mediated by surface plasmon polaritons. We believe that our approach is also potentially valuable for the enhancement of light emission of other fluorescent media with high intrinsic quantum efficiency.
Revisiting Ramla l-Ħamra Villa – New Discoveries and Observations on the Roman Villa Complex in Xagħra, Gozo
Authors: Mifsud Christian 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The discovery of a set of ashlar blocks uncovered at the waters’ edge at Ramla l-Ħamra Bay in Gozo has prompted a series of assessments to understand if the exposed archaeological remains were an already known part of a Roman villa complex investigated in 1911 or whether these were a new addition. The study presents the results of the research undertaken through a series of on-site surveys and desktop studies confirming a new addition to the already known villa complex. The new discoveries are discussed within the light of the published sources and provide additional interpretations of the site. This study also provides an opportunity to reconsider the new discoveries and makes a case for a renewed interest for archaeological investigations which could shed more light on the remains of the Roman bathhouse as well as its environmental setting.
Magnetic characterization of magnetoactive elastomers containing magnetic hard particles using first-order reversal curve analysis
Authors: Schliephake Mia , Linke Julia M. , Odenbach Stefan 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The use of new types of intelligent materials is becoming increasingly widespread. These include magnetoactive elastomers with hard magnetic filling components, which offer the unique chance to adapt active and passive material properties. In this context, this paper presents an overview of the experimental results on the study of the magnetic properties of elastic composites with a magnetic hard component. First-order reversal curves, which are recorded with a vibrating sample magnetometer, are used as method to characterize the magnetic material behavior. The influence of various parameters on the process of magnetization of composites is considered, including the stiffness of the polydimethylsiloxane-based matrix polymer, the particle ratio and the particle size as well as the so-called training effect.
