Introduction: Many sexually active youths who wish to delay pregnancy are not using any form of modern contraceptives. In sub-Saharan Africa, less than 1 in 5 sexually active youth do not use contraceptives. In Nigeria, 48.4% of all sexually active unmarried women have an unmet need for contraception. Although the literature is replete with information on structural barriers to modern contraceptives, there is limited scholarship on contextual factors that may inhibit modern contraceptive use among Nigerian youth. This study uses a qualitative research approach to assess knowledge and use of natural, modern, and folkloric contraceptive methods among a sample of university students in Calabar, Nigeria.Methods: This study used data from focus group discussions among women and men in university halls of residence, all of whom were unmarried. Also, three male pharmacists and three female community health workers were interviewed. All focus group discussions and interviews took place in August 2017 and were conducted in Calabar Metropolis, Cross River State, Nigeria. The audio recordings were transcribed into detailed summaries of the interviews and focus group discussions. All data analysis was completed using Atlas.Ti (version 8).Results: University men and women have limited knowledge of and application of natural and modern contraception. Participants listed folkloric methods of contraceptives, including repurposing pharmaceuticals (e.g., antibiotics, quinine, and Andrews Livers Salt-a laxative) as contraceptive agents. Respondents also discussed the use of non-pharmaceuticals such as water, salt solution, and squatting after intercourse as contraceptives. Generally, university students defaulted to withdrawal, calendar method, and emergency contraceptives as preferred methods of contraception. Lastly, condoms were used among participants in causal sexual encounters. In dating relationships, however, both male and female students cited their partners' hesitancy to condom use as such act could indicate distrust.Conclusion: Awareness and use of modern contraceptives are limited among university students in Calabar, Nigeria. The use of folkloric contraceptives could lead to bodily harm and unintended pregnancy. Further research is needed to elucidate factors that promote use of folkloric methods of contraceptives. Integration of contraceptive awareness into health promotion services for young people may help to dispel myths about folkloric methods of contraceptives while promoting awareness and use of safe and effective contraception.
Radiological and Clinical Findings of Multiple Cerebellar Liponeurocytoma: A Case Report
Authors: Wang Shan , Xu Xiaopei , Wang Chao 
Published: July 2021

Background: Cerebellar liponeurocytoma is an extremely rare benign tumor which generally occurs in cerebellum and is almost always solitary. Multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma is exceedingly rare, only 8 cases has been reported so far. Herein we present the 9th case of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma in a 70-year-old woman with the complete clinical course and comprehensive imaging findings.Case Presentation: A 70-year-old woman presented with a history of intermittent headache for 5 years. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain have been performed and suggested a diagnosis of teratoma based on the imaging findings. After the surgical resection of the lesion, histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses revealed neuronal, glial, and lipomatous components and confirmed the diagnosis of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma after surgical resection. During the 2-year follow-up period, the patient showed no signs of recurrence or metastasis.Conclusion: We described the radiological characteristics and clinical course of an exceedingly rare case of multifocal cerebellar liponeurocytoma in the cerebellar vermis and temporal lobe. The clear multifocality makes this case unusual.
Montagnes mythiques, montagnes tragiques
Authors: Buxton Richard G. A 
Published: July 2021

In everyday Greek life, mountains were used in a variety of ways : for pasturage, as a source of raw materials, for hunting and war, as a place for religious sanctuaries. In myths, these usages were both ‘reflected’ and ‘refracted’. Three aspects of mythical mountains are worth special notice : they are ‘outside’, they are ‘before’, and they are a space where transformations occur.
Since mythical fantasy varies enormously from context to context, it is essential to look at particular cases. Three tragedies (Bacchae , Oedipus Rex, Trachiniae ) are chosen in order to examine the different ways in which one literary genre explores the polis-oros relationship. In Bacchae, Euripides depicts the dangerous and invasive character of the mountain. In Oedipus, we see two sides of mountain luck, and witness the catastrophic consequences of an attempt to separate mountain from city. In Trachiniae, Sophocles represents the oros (which belongs this time to Zeus) as a place both remote and orderly — even if the nature of this order is hard for mortals to comprehend.
Natur und Gewalt — die Gewalt der Natur. Zur Rolle der Natur und der Landschaft bei Thukydides

Nature et violence — la violence de la nature.
A propos du rôle de la nature et du paysage chez Thucydide
Cette contribution concerne l’intégration de la nature et du paysage dans l’œuvre historique de Thucydide. On montre d’abord que, dans une certaine mesure, Thucydide envisage la guerre du Péloponnèse «du point de vue de l’histoire naturelle», en la définissant comme une «très forte kynesis», un bouleversement, et en soutenant en même temps que des catastrophes naturelles déterminées, tels tremblements de terre, éruptions volcaniques et inondations se produisirent pendant la crise plus fréquemment que d’habitude. En second lieu Thucydide constate, particulièrement dans le 1. II, l’action destructive de la guerre sur le territoire cultivé autour d’une polis. La dévastation des champs de céréales et des vergers de l’adversaire (en grec temnein, deioun), par conséquent la destruction consciente de son environnement, était un moyen stratégique important dans la guerre antique, parce que non seulement elle privait l’ennemi de son approvisionnement alimentaire, mais détruisait aussi l’équilibre social entre la polis et le pays alentour. On montre en troisième lieu que Thucydide décrit avec art les paysages du théâtre de la guerre, pour que le lecteur puisse non seulement suivre le cours de la narration, mais être sensible aussi au combat des hommes entre eux et contre les éléments. Chez Thucydide, le paysage contribue à l'enargeia, à la plastique de l’art narratif.
La pompé di Tolomeo Filadelfo e il mosaico miotico di Palestrina

La pompé de Ptolémée Philadelphe et la mosaïque nilotique de Palestrina
Athénée, Deipnosophistes, V, 197 -203b, décrit, d’après le peri Alexandreias de Callixeinos de Rhodes, la pompé qui inaugura la grande fête des Ptolemaieia — sans doute la première, en 280/279, à l’occasion d’une victoire sur les Séleucides au moment de l’assassinat de Séleucos Ier. Cette procession, occupant au moins une journée entière, comportait à la fois des éléments religieux et dynastiques, des allusions symboliques à la prééminence politique de l’Égypte ptolémaïque — et notamment des animaux exotiques suggérant une domination universelle — et se concluait par un imposant défilé militaire préludant au couronnement du roi.
Or, dans le vaste ensemble, encore mal connu, de Palestrina, qui comporte — mais pas seulement — un sanctuaire de la Fortuna Primigenia, est conservée une célèbre mosaïque nilotique, liée au culte isiaque, datable non pas de l’époque syllanienne mais des dernières décennies du IIe siècle av. J.-C. Le sujet en est une représentation schématique de l’Égypte, du Nord au Sud, qui figure au premier plan le port et la ville d’Alexandrie, puis, en remontant le Nil, Memphis, Syene avec son nilomètre, et finalement le pays au-delà des cataractes jusqu’à l’Éthiopie. Une analyse détaillée de la partie consacrée à Alexandrie oblige à y voir une illustration synthétique des cérémonies des Ptolemaieia telles que les décrit Callixeinos — sans doute inspirée d’une peinture de l’époque de Philadelphe, qui pouvait être exposée à Alexandrie dans le temple de Tychè. Praeneste possédait donc, dans un sanctuaire égyptisant appartenant au complexe de Fortuna, identifiée à Isis, une évocation symbolique de la gloire et de la richesse de l’Égypte, articulée sur leur source intarissable, le Nil, ‘Zeus égyptien’.
I φιλοι di Agesilao

Les philoi d’Agésilas.

Agésilas, comme Cyrus dans la Cyropédie, dispose d’une suite nombreuse et dévouée, apparemment sans ambitions, mais qui, à la longue, s’impose à l’attention par la protection constante et parfois ambiguë qu’elle offre au roi de Sparte : un signe évident de ce lien extraordinaire peut être la tendance du roi, qui n’est pas toujours manifeste, à attribuer à ses philoi des fonctions particulièrement prestigieuses dans la cité de Sparte et à subir leur influence de façon décisive lors des choix fondamentaux.
L’intervention en faveur de Phlionte (384-379), lors de la prise de la Cadmée par Phoibidas (383-382) ou lors de l’attaque du Pirée par Sphodrias (379) apparaissent comme les exemples les plus évidents d’une tendance du roi Agésilas, qui n’est pas toujours soulignée par les sources, à agir pour des raisons personnelles et pas toujours en harmonie avec la cité : les philoi deviennent ainsi son bouclier contre toute possibilité de contestation et une force capable d’agir sur l’opinion.

The bagging of banana bunch can control chilling injury (CI) in the field, which causes browning of fruit peel. The investigation aimed to evaluate the reduce chilling injury in 'Nanica' banana bunches with the use de triple protection. The experiment was conducted in Jacupiranga, SP, Brazil, in a design was completely randomized with two treatments, bunch without protection (no protection) and triple protection, with thirteen replications. Triple protection consisted of brown paper with polythene coating (layer closest to the fruit), blue transparent polyethylene (median layer) and black opaque polyethylene (outermost layer).The bagging was made before of opening of the bracts of inflorescence. In the coldest day, when the temperature inside the canopy reached 4.23oC, the triple protection raised the temperature the surface of the peel by 3.06oC in relation to no protection fruits. On the hottest day, triple protection did not increase the temperature of the skin of the fruit excessively. There were no losses from sunburn fruits. Bunches with triple protection and no protection did not differ in terms of mass that had an average value of 30.87 Kg planta-1. No protection bunches were harvested an average of ten days. There were differences between unprotected fruits and triple protection in terms of chilling injury index (CI index), brightness (L*) and hue angle (ho) of peel. Triple protection reduced CI index and promoted fruits with bright green peel at harvest and bright yellow at ripening. The materials used in triple protection can be recycled or reused.
