Mendogia belongs to Dothideomycetes and its members are epiphytic on living bamboo culms or palms and distributed in tropical regions. Currently, the genus comprises seven species. Another collection resembling Mendogia was collected from the leaves of Fagales sp. in Thailand. Morphological characteristics and multilocus phylogenetic analyses, using ITS, LSU and SSU sequences, showed that the fungus is new to science, described herein as Mendogia diffusa. Mendogia diffusa is characterised by apothecial ascostromata, a carbonised epithecium, dark brown setae on the ascostromatal surface, hyaline paraphysoids, ovoid to clavate asci and oblong to elliptical, muriform ascospores. The fungus has a dark pigmented surface and is occasionally facultatively associated with patches of green algae, but not actually lichenised. Instead, the fungus penetrates the upper leaf surface, forming dark pigmented isodiametric cells below the epidermis.
Re-examination of specimens of M. chiangraiensis, M. macrostroma and M. yunnanensis revealed the absence of algal associations. The status of Mendogia philippinensis (= M. calami) and M. bambusina (= Uleopeltis bambusina) was established, based on morphological comparisons and previous studies. Comprehensive morphological descriptions with phylogenetic analyses support M. diffusa as a novel species in Myriangiaceae. An updated key to the known species of the genus is also provided.
Les objets vivants des religions afro-cubaines : ontologies, biologies, écosystèmes
Authors: Kerestetzi Katerina 
Published: September 2021

Cet article porte sur certains objets rituels des religions afro-cubaines qui sont considérés comme vivants : colliers de la santería qui « parlent », poupées du spiritisme qui « fument », tambours des Abakuá qui « procréent », chaudrons du palo monte qui « se croient vivants ». Pour les pratiquants de ces religions, ces objets sont plus que de simples représentations de divinités et d’esprits mais de véritables incarnations ; ils sont dotés d’intentionnalité et de capacité d’action mais aussi des propriétés et des besoins propres aux êtres vivants : soif, faim, chaleur, croissance, désirs… L’objectif de cet article est d’examiner les processus techniques, matériels et rituels par lesquels la vie vient à ces artefacts. Quelles actions, quelles interactions, quels gestes sont impliqués dans la chaîne opératoire qui transforme un assemblage de matières inertes en une entité vivante et agissante ? L’étude porte aussi sur la composition matérielle de cette vie artificielle et tâche de révéler les logiques intrinsèques qui attribuent à certaines substances et actions la capacité d’engendrer la vie. Finalement elle s’intéresse à la vie de ces objets dans leur « habitat naturel ». Nous verrons comment leur environnement impacte leur manière d’interagir avec les pratiquants mais aussi avec les autres objets.
Dieux-matière (vivante) sans cesse reconfigurée : les fétiches en pays mandingue (Afrique de l’Ouest)
Authors: Kedzierska Manzon Agnieszka 
Published: September 2021

Le débat concernant la capacité d’action – et, par conséquent, le statut ontologique – de nombreux artefacts matériels anime l’anthropologie depuis bientôt deux décennies, tout comme les polémiques autour de la notion de fétiche. L’article ambitionne de mieux saisir cette dernière notion, en partant des données ethnographiques mandingues exploitées dans une perspective comparatiste. Il montre que les dieux-fétiches africains sont conceptualisés par « leurs humains » comme des dieux-plantes qu’on cultive, qui se reproduisent sur le modèle de bouturage et dont l’apparence s’apparente au végétal. Les vocables qui leur servent d’appellations génériques dans les langues africaines renvoient pourtant non à des règnes ou des classes du vivant, conçus comme opposé à l’inorganique, mais à une catégorie qui regroupe des matériaux jugés forts et agissants qui affectent plusieurs registres sensoriels. Le retour critique sur quelques notions-clés permet de mieux saisir les fétiches en tant que dieux-matière (vivante) sans cesse reconfigurés que leur nature organique et informe rend divins.
Artefacts organiques et corps humains artefactuels dans les anciens rites du « cycle de vie » en Nouvelle-Irlande (Mélanésie)
Authors: Derlon Brigitte 
Published: September 2021

Les anciens rites funéraires de Nouvelle-Irlande (Mélanésie) opéraient une « reconfiguration du vivant » en associant pour quelques heures le crâne préservé du défunt et une sculpture de bois ( malanggan ) fabriquée puis détruite lors de la cérémonie. La quête du sens de cette pratique conduit à mettre au jour les multiples analogies rituelles entre corps humains et artefacts dans l’ensemble des rites du « cycle de vie » où les personnes sont assimilées à des sculptures, tandis que les sculptures funéraires sont traitées comme des personnes. Depuis la naissance jusqu’à la mort en passant par l’initiation féminine et masculine, ces rites opèrent à des moments-clefs de l’articulation du principe spirituel vital et du corps humain, quand les proches de la personne doivent contribuer à faire, à renforcer ou à défaire cette association. Siège de l’incarnation fugace d’une présence surnaturelle, la sculpture funéraire à travers laquelle se rejoue la naissance et la mort de la personne est aussi conçue comme une image mentale qui se matérialise provisoirement dans un corps de bois et survit à sa destruction en perdurant dans la mémoire des hommes. La reconfiguration de l’humain à l’œuvre dans la réunion de la sculpture et de la relique allait de pair avec la reconfiguration (ou reproduction) de la société assurée par les multiples transferts de biens matériels et immatériels effectués dans le cadre des rites funéraires, dont les droits de reproduction des sculptures malanggan .
La figure paternelle en psychanalyse
Authors: Gratton Emmanuel 
Published: September 2021

La psychanalyse, au tournant du XX e siècle, reconnaît au père une fonction de « castration symbolique », en écho à l’autorité statutaire qu’il pouvait avoir sur le plan social. Cette approche a été controversée dans les années 1970, aux marges des courants dominants ce champ, dans le contexte de l’émancipation sexuelle, générationnelle et féministe. Elle s’est progressivement intéressée non seulement à sa fonction, mais aussi aux processus à l’œuvre du « devenir père », la paternalité, en miroir de ceux déjà étudiés concernant le processus psychique du « devenir mère », la maternalité. L’émergence du terme de « parentalité » et celui connexe de « coparentalité », notamment dans le cadre des nouvelles configurations familiales, ont entraîné la distinction entre fonctions et sexes parentaux. L’idée d’un déplacement de la « paternité institutionnelle », à laquelle la psychanalyse est attachée, vers la « paternalité relationnelle », pourrait laisser penser à une forme de désinstitutionalisation du père, mais le paysage contemporain de la psychanalyse apparaît plus complexe avec des courants qui tentent d’y résister et d’autres qui saluent l’avènement de ce « nouveau » père.
Les trois temps des pluriparentalités en France
Authors: Martial Agnès 
Published: September 2021

Les familles recomposées, adoptives ou issues du recours à l’assistance médicale à la procréation, hétéro- ou homoparentales, semblent à première vue très différentes. Toutes produisent pourtant des situations de « pluriparentalité », où coexistent diverses relations. Certaines sont liées à la procréation, d’autres à l’intention de devenir parents, d’autres encore aux actes quotidiens de la parentalité. Cette synthèse de travaux d’anthropologie et de sociologie des années 2000 à nos jours propose d’analyser, dans le contexte français, les enjeux spécifiques à ces configurations relationnelles. Trois moments où se pose avec acuité la question des pluriparentalités sont distingués : la naissance de l’enfant, le temps de l’enfance et de l’éducation, le temps de l’héritage.
« L’affaire Scala et les anarchistes » : représentations sociales du désordre pendant la transition démocratique espagnole
Authors: Dolidier Arnaud 
Published: September 2021

Le 15 janvier 1978 à 13h, la salle des fêtes Scala à Barcelone est incendiée, victime d’un attentat terroriste. Deux jours plus tard, la police publie un communiqué dans lequel elle affirme avoir arrêté les coupables, tous faisant partie d’un commando anarchiste. À partir de l’analyse de deux journaux de l’époque, l’objectif de ce travail est de montrer en quoi la production discursive de l’événement a permis de construire des représentations sociales spécifiques de l’anarchisme, et comment celles-ci se sont insérées dans une vision globale de la société. Dès lors, il s’agit de montrer comment les figures sociales de l’ennemi intérieur ont évolué, à mesure que les discours franquistes ont été reconfigurés pour s’adapter à la réalité de l’époque.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Wide-Band Gap (WBG) power devices have become a promising option for high-power applications due to the superior material properties over traditional Silicon. To not limit WBG devices’ mother nature, a rugged and high-performance power device packaging solution is necessary. This study proposes a Double-Side Cooled (DSC) 1.2 kV half-bridge power module having dual epoxy resin insulated metal substrate (eIMS) for solving convectional power module challenges and providing a cost-effective solution. The thermal performance outperforms traditional Alumina (Al2O3) Direct Bonded Copper (DBC) DSC power module due to moderate thermal conductivity (10 W/mK) and thin (120 mm) epoxy resin composite dielectric working as the IMS insulation layer. This novel organic dielectric can withstand high voltage (5 kVAC @ 120 μm) and has a Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of 300°C, which is suitable for high-power applications. In the thermal-mechanical modeling, the organic DSC power module can pass the thermal cycling test over 1,000 cycles by optimizing the mechanical properties of the encapsulant material. In conclusion, this article not only proposes a competitive organic-based power module but also a methodology of evaluation for thermal and mechanical performance.

Published: September 2021

Background: Since the first publication, of 2016, Sepsis-3 definitions have not been universally accepted, rather, they have become a source of controversy. Because clinical and laboratory parameters used had been derived mainly from patients hospitalized in United States’ Intensive Care Units (ICU).
Purpose: the aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the Sepsis‑3 definitions for the prediction of ICU-mortality in a Tunisian ICU population as compared to 2003 Consensus Definitions (Sepsis-2 definitions)
Methods: It was a retrospective study conducted in an 18-bed medical surgical intensive care unit at the military hospital of Tunis (Tunisia). From January 2012 to January 2016, all patients admitted to the ICU for sepsis, severe sepsis or septic shock as defined according to 2003 Consensus Definitions (Sepsis-2 consensus) were eligible for this study. The new Sepsis-3 definition was secondly used to classify included patients. The primary area of interest was ICU mortality defined as death before ICU discharge
Results: A total of 1080 patients were included during the recruitment period. . When the Sepsis-2 definitions were used there had been a difference in mortality only between septic shock and sepsis patients. While Sepsis-3 definitions show that mortality increased from 16 % among no-dysfunction-infected patients to 30 % among patients with qSOFA ≥ 2 and 44% or 46% for sepsis or septic shock patients, respectively.
Conclusions: Sepsis-3 was better than sepsis-2 definitions at stratifying mortality among septic patients admitted to an ICU of a middle income country (Tunisia).

SARS-COV2 pandemic has caused profound challenges in health care systems worldwide. Patients affected by hematological neoplasms appear to be particularly at risk of developing COVID-19 complications, with unfavorable outcomes.
Here, we present the case of a 57-years-old woman diagnosed with severe COVID-19 pneumonia and concurrent acute myeloid leukemia (AML). At the time of diagnosis, it was decided to postpone leukemia therapy to enable adequate COVID-19 pneumonia treatment. When her conditions related to pneumonia improved, the combination of Azacitidine-Venetoclax was used as first-line treatment, instead of conventional intensive chemotherapy. At the end of the first two cycles, the patient showed complete remission, and a post-remission consolidation with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been planned.
This case suggests that Azacytidine-Venetoclax induction may represent a valid and safe alternative to intensive chemotherapy in the challenging setting of patients with a concomitant diagnosis of AML and severe COVID-19 infection.
First technical report of a pediatric case with thoracic Langerhans cell histiocytosis
Authors: Erdogan Koral , Solmaz Serdar , Dogan Ihsan 
Published: September 2021

Background:
Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH) is a rare nonmalignant disease characterized by a clonal proliferation of mononuclear cells called Langerhans histiocytes and infiltrates surrounding tissues, mostly self-limiting and usually occurring in the first two decades of life. Vertebral involvement is rare, mostly seen in the thoracic region, and involves the anterior elements of the corpus. In the literature, several treatment options and surgical approaches have been reported concerning the treatment of this disease and surgery.

Case Presentation:
We report an 18-month-old male with thoracic LCH who underwent surgery due to progressive neurological deficit. Gross total removal of the tumor with one level corpectomy in this patient was achieved via a posterolateral approach with postoperative functional improvement. The surgical cavity was supported by corpectomy cage and unilateral screw-rod fixation system at the same stage.

Conclusion:
Gross total tumor removal, corpectomy, and 360° stabilization via posterolateral approach at a single stage are safe, effective, and definite neurosurgical methods in terms of providing neurological recovery, long-term tumor-free survival, and spinal stability.
Surgical treatment outcome on a national cohort of 176 patients with cervical manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis
Authors: MacDowall Anna , Barany Laszlo , Bodon Gergely 
Published: September 2021

Purpose:
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affecting the cervical spine results in instability and deformity that can be divided into the subtypes C1–C2 horizontal (atlantoaxial instability), C0–C2 vertical (basilar invagination), subaxial, and combined instabilities. The aim of this study was to compare the surgical treatments and outcomes of RA-related deformity and instability in a population-based setting.

Patients and Methods:
All patients with RA in the national Swespine register from January 1, 2006, to March 20, 2019, were assessed. Baseline characteristics, surgical treatments, European Myelopathy Scale (EMS), Neck Disability Index, the Visual Analog Scale for neck and arm pain as well as pre- and postoperative imaging were analyzed. The follow-up time points were at 1-, 2-, and 5 years after surgery.

Results:
A total of 176 patients were included. There were 62 (35%) patients with C1–C2 horizontal instability, 48 (27%) with C0–C2 vertical instability, 19 (11%) patients with subaxial instability, 43 (24%) patients with combined instability, and 4 patients without instability served as controls. The EMS improved in the C1–C2 horizontal instability group after fusion surgery (Δ =2.6 p) but remained within baseline confidence intervals in the other groups. All patients regardless of instability improved in pain. The subaxial instability had the highest risk of death within 5 years after surgery (11/19, 58%). The most dangerous complications due to implant failure were seen in patients instrumented with laminar hooks.

Conclusion:
The neurological outcome after fusion surgery is poor and the death rate is high in patients with cervical RA-related instability and deformity.

Background:
The lower instrumented vertebrae (LIVs) in cervical deformity (CD) constructs may have varying effects on patient outcomes that are still poorly understood.

Objective:
The objective of the study is to compare outcomes in CD patients undergoing instrumented correction according to the relation of LIV with primary driver (PD).

Methods:
Patients who met radiographic criteria for CD were included in the study. Patients were stratified by PD of deformity: cervical (C) through AMES classification (TS-CL >20 or cervical sagittal vertical axis >40) and thoracic (T) through hyper/hypokyphosis (TK) from T4-T12 (60 < TK < 40). Patients were further stratified by LIV in relation to curve apex (above/below). Univariate and multivariate analyses identified group differences in postoperative health-related quality-of-life and distal junctional kyphosis (DJK) (>10° LIV and LIV + 2) rate up to 1 year.

Results:
Sixty-two patients were analyzed. Twenty-one patients had a C-PD and 41 had a T-PD by definition. 100% of C-PDs had LIVs below CL apex, while 9.2% of T-PDs had LIVs below (caudal) to TK apex and 90.8% had LIVs above TK apex. By 1 year, C patients trended lower Neck Disability Index (NDI) (21.9 vs. 29.0, P = 0.245), lower numeric rating scales neck pain (4.2 vs. 5.1, P = 0.358), and significantly higher EuroQol five-dimensional questionnaire Visual Analog Scale (69.2 vs. 52.4, P = 0.040). When T patients with LIVs below TK apex were excluded, remaining T patients with LIV above apex had significantly higher 1-year NDI than C patients (37.5 vs. 21.9, P = .05). T patients also trended higher rates of postoperative DJK than C (19.5% vs. 4.8%, P = 0.119).

Conclusions:
Stopping before apex was more common in patients with a primary thoracic driver (T) and associated with deleterious effects. Primary cervical driver (C) tended to have LIVs inclusive of CL apex with lower rates of DJK.

Introduction:
Patients with symptomatic cervical deformity (CD) requiring surgical correction often present with hyperkyphosis (HK), though patients with hyperlordotic curves may require surgery as well. Few studies have investigated differences in CD-corrective surgery with regards to HK and hyperlordosis (HL).

Materials and Methods:
Operative CD patients (C2-C7 Cobb >10°, cervical lordosis [CL] >10°, cervical sagittal vertical axis [cSVA] >4 cm, chin-brow vertical angle >25°) with baseline (BL) and 1Y radiographic data. Patients were stratified based on BL C2-7 lordosis (CL) angle: those >1 standard deviation (SD) from the mean (−6.96° ±21.47°) were hyperlordotic (>14.51°) or hyperkyphotic (≤28.43°) depending on directionality. Patients within 1 SD were considered the control group.

Results:
One hundred and two surgical CD pts (61 years, 65%F, 30 kg/m2) with BL and 1Y radiographic data were included. Twenty pts met definitions for HK and 21 pts met definitions for HL. No differences in demographics or disability were noted. HK had higher estimated blood loss (EBL) with anterior approaches than HL but similar EBL with the posterior approach. Op-time did not differ between groups. Control, HL, and HK groups differed in BL TS-CL (36.6° vs. 22.5° vs. 60.7°, P < 0.001) and BL-sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (10.8 vs. 7.0 vs. −47.8 mm, P = 0.001). HL pts had less discectomies, less corpectomies, and similar osteotomy rates to HK. HL had × 3 revisions of HK and controls (28.6 vs. 10.0 vs. 9.2%, respectively, P = 0.046). At 1Y, HL pts had higher cSVA, and trended higher SVA and SS than HK. In terms of BL-upper cervical alignment, HK pts had higher McGregor's-slope (16.1° vs. −3.3°, P = 0.001) and C0-C2 Cobb (43.3° vs. 26.9°, P < 0.001), however postoperative differences in McGregor's slope and C0-C2 were not significant. HK drivers of deformity were primarily C (90%), whereas HL had primary computed tomography (38.1%), upper thoracic (23.8%), and C (14.3%) drivers.

Conclusions:
Hyperlodotic patients trended higher revision rates with greater radiographic malalignment at 1Y postoperative, perhaps due to undercorrection compared to kyphotic etiologies.
