Chemins semiotiques contemporains
Authors: Bertrand Denis 
Published: January 2021

Après avoir rappelé la généalogie théorique de la sémiotique, entre linguistique, anthropologie et phénoménologie, nous souhaitons mettre en évidence les propriétés de la sémiotique post-greimassienne en montrant que la « signification en acte », son objet, implique simultanément la saisie des formants, leur structuration, leur énonciation, leur mise en perspective, leurs implications dans le champ social et leurs enjeux anthropologiques. Nous nous appuyons sur deux exemples, l’un textuel, l’autre lexical. Le premier aura pour objet une lecture sémiotique transversale d’un texte de Victor Hugo, « L’archipel de la Manche », prologue de son roman Les Travailleurs de la mer (1866, éd. de 1883) : nous montrons comment la grande trame pluri-disciplinaire des sciences naturelles, humaines et sociales prend corps dans ce texte travers une poétique et une politique de l’énonciation, discipline première et ultime. Le second exemple a pour objet l’actant collectif à travers la saisie du pronom « nous », entre inclusion et exclusion. Nous prenons alors appui sur le texte ultime de Paolo Fabbri (à paraître), « Les identités collectives », pour interroger les nombreuses voies de passage entre la forme langagière et les politiques de l’altérité qu’elle induit. Cette conférence est donnée en hommage à ce grand sémioticien italien, disparu le 2 juin 2020.

Published: January 2021

Este estudo objetivou compreender as representações de formigas em animações infantis. Para isso, assistiu-se a cada animação mais de uma vez para perceber como as formigas foram significadas nos desenhos animados. Daí, foram registrados dados recorrentes e singulares na representação das formigas nos desenhos. Para a análise do objeto de pesquisa, a estrutura narrativa da animação e a estrutura conceitual da gramática visual inspiraram a construção de categorias. Os resultados indicaram que os desenhos animados analisados exploraram as características e os comportamentos humanos como base para a construção de personagens e narrativas. Observou-se que as animações abordam aspectos morfológicos das formigas, mas o comportamento delas ainda é pouco explorado e evidenciado. As concepções culturais
Revalidation Physical Self-Perceptions: A Cross-Cultural Assessment in Indonesian Children
Authors: Sobarna Akhmad , Hamidi Ahmad , Bunyami Agus Ahmad , Muharam Asep Nirwan , Sunarsi Denok 
Published: January 2021

The purposes of this research was to examined the cross-cultural validity of the Physical Self-Perception Profile for Children (PSPP-C), an instrument for assessing physical self-esteem, in Indonesian children. The inventory comprises 36-items designed to measure six constructs from a hypothesisedÂ multi-dimensional, hierarchical model of physical self-perception. Two hundred and fifty two children, aged 13 to 14 years, from a secondary school in Bandung- West Java completed the PSPP-C inventory. Descriptive statistics revealed mean construct scores to be comparable with results from other studies. Factor analysis of the inventory items supported a four factor structure and Cronbach alphas confirmed its internal consistency. The hierarchical structure of the underlying model was supported by partial correlation analysis. The PSPP-C exhibited satisfactory validity and reliability for use with children from Indonesia, but caution must be exercised when interpreting some of the subdomains due to discrepancies in the factor structure. The authors also express reservations concerning the indiscriminate use of such psychometric inventories across different cultures.

This study presents sustained releasemicroencapsulation of Diltiazem HCL.
Its in-vitro dissolution study in phosphate buffer pH 7.4 as dissolution medium and in vivo behaviour in animal subjects. The microcapsules were prepared using polymers Ethocel 7P and Ethocel 7FP at two different drug to polymer (D: P) ratios i.e. 1:5 and 1:10 and the effect of concentration was observed on drug release behaviour. The prepared microcapsules were evaluated for different physical characteristics i.e. Bulk density, Tap density, Compressibility index, Hausner’s ratio and Angle of repose. Characterization of the developed microcapsules was carried out using Differential Scanning Calorimetery and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy while Scanning Electron Microscopy was performed to observe the morphology of the microcapsules. Model dependent and in dependent approaches were used to find out the drug transport mechanism and to compare the drug release profiles with standard formulation respectively.
All the formulations show anomalous, non-Fickian diffusion mechanism and the data was best fitted in Korsmeyer’sPeppas equation.
While carrying out in vivo studies, simple and rapid HPLC methods were developed which revealed optimum serum concentration (Cmax) levels for the developed microcapsules predicting least chances of side or adverse effects.
Hadisler ve Zihinlerdeki Sorular: Büyük Muhaddis Şuayp Arnavut ile Söyleşi, Enbiya Yıldırım
Authors: TAŞKIN Kemal 
Published: January 2021

Hadis kavramı kısaca; Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.v.) kavlî, fiilî ve takrîrî sün-netlerinin yazılı hali için kullanılmaktadır. Sünnet ise İslam’ın, Kur’ân’dan sonra ikinci kaynağıdır. Bundan dolayı ilmî disiplinler arasındaki önemi yadsınamaz. Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.v.) vefatından sonra, siyasi karışıklık-ların baş göstermesiyle birlikte hadis uydurma faaliyetleri de başlamıştır.
Modern döneme gelindiğinde -hadis inkarcılığının artması bir yana- Müslüman bilim adamları arasında hadis ilminin içtihada açık bir alan olup olmaması daha çok tartışılmaya başlanmıştır. Başka bir ifadeyle hadisler hakkında söylenen söylenmiştir, şu dönemde yaşayan birisi kal-kıp hakkında hüküm verilmiş bir hadisi tashih veya taz‘îf edebilir mi? Yoksa geçmiş ulemanın hükmüyle amel edip hadisleri sadece teberrüken mi okumak gerekir? gibi sorular gündemdeki yerini hâlâ korumaktadır.
İşte tamda bu tartışmaların yeniden yeşerdiği dönemde Şam’da dün-yaya gelen ve aslen Arnavut olan Şuayp el-Arnavut (1928-2017), düşünceleriyle İslam alemini etkilemiş, eserleri çoğunluğu tahkik olmak üzere milyonlarca baskı yaparak geniş kitlere ulaşmış ve hadis alanında araştırma yapanların eserlerine müracaat etmekten müstağni kalamayacağı, modern dönemin en büyük muhaddislerinden biridir.
Tanıtımını yapacağımız Hadisler ve Zihindeki Sorular Büyük Muhaddis Şuayp Arnavut ile Söyleşi isimli çalışma, günümüz hadis hocalarından olan ve kendisine talebelik yapan Enbiya Yıldırım tarafından kaleme alınmıştır. Ana konusu Şuayp Arnavut ile arasında geçen diyaloglar olma-sına rağmen hadis ilmi ile alakalı birçok meseleyi, bir muhaddisin ağzın-dan ele almaktadır.
İmâm Mâturîdî’nin Âlemin Ontolojik Yapısı Hakkında Filozofları Eleştirisi, Tahir Uluç
Authors: DELEN Halil İbrahim 
Published: January 2021

İslam düşüncesinin üç saç ayağı olarak tabir edilen kelâm, felsefe, tasavvuf disiplinleri oluşum-gelişim-tahkik evrelerinde birbirleri ile sürekli etkileşim halinde olmuşlardır. Kabul veya red cihetinden gerçekleşen bu etkileşim zamanla bir literatür doğurmuş, disiplinlerin mesâil ve vesâillerinde önemli değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Bu karşılıklı tartışma ortamında kelamcılar ile filozoflar arasındaki en temel konulardan biri de âlemin kıdemi meselesidir. Gazzâlî’nin (ö. 505/1111) Tehâfütü’l-felâsife eserinde filozofları tekfir ettiği konulardan bir tanesini de bu teşkil etmektedir. Bu mesele daha sonra gelişen tehâfüt literatüründe de uzunca tartışılmıştır. Kelâm-felsefe etkileşiminin zirveye ulaştığı ve ‘Felsefî Kelâm’ dönemi olarak tarif edilen Fahreddin er-Râzî (ö. 606/1210) ve sonrası dönemde de kelamcıların felsefeden farkını ortaya koymak için ileri sürdükleri temel meselelerden bir tanesi de âlemin kıdeminin geçersiz olduğu görüşüdür. Tabiri caizse âlemin hâdisliği veya âlemin kıdeminin reddi meselesi kelamcıların fârıḳ vasıflarındandır.
Tahir Uluç tarafından kaleme alınan “İmâm Mâturîdî’nin Âlemin On-tolojik Yapısı Hakkında Filozofları Eleştirisi” başlıklı çalışmada -bu konuyu Gazzâlî’den yaklaşık iki asır önce inceleyen- İmâm Mâtürîdî’nin görüşleri merkeze alınmaktadır.

Pena de muerte a la pena de muerte

Published: January 2021

Con frecuencia se habla de humanitarismos positivistas, materialistas, etc.: el término ha llegado a ser despectivo. Y parece haber un terrible malentendido cuando se atribuye a humanitarismos de tal o cual especie los argumentos en contra de la pena de muerte: estos no serían sino expresión de determinado humanitarismo, no tendrán mayor valor.

Science of writing for publication in scientific journals: steps and resources
Authors: Shah Jay Narayan 
Published: January 2021

The step-by-step process on how to write a publishable manuscript, starting from the title up to the reference requires reading articles and books which are available in plenty online and offline on scientific writing, prepare to start the journey of writing and publication in scientific journals. One of the best ways to embark on this journey is by trying to do it, by practice, practice, and more practice.
Historically, the initiation of modern scientific writing began some 350 years ago in 1665 with the publication of ‘Philosophical Transactions’, considered as one of the first scientific journal.1,2 Half a century later, the format of writing and peer-review were introduced in 1731, but it took almost two centuries, until after World War II, for the wider acceptance of the concept by the journals.3 The structured format of writing introduced in the 1940s has evolved to what we know today as IMRAD- introduction-methods-results-and-discussion. This IMRAD format helps guide authors to address the essential components of research work, and makes it easier for the reviewer, the editors, and most importantly the readers to understand what is being presented.4 The IMRAD, and aIMRAD (a=abstract, in which the discussion is replaced and presented as conclusion) is an easy concept for comprehension, Figure 1.5

Introduction: Perioperative strategies have been changing due to the COVID-19 pandemic to prevent the risk of postoperative complications and transmission of infection. This study was aimed to assess the outcome of gastrointestinal surgery and the risk of transmission by implementing COVID-19 testing criteria and surgical strategy.
Method: This was a retrospective descriptive study conducted at the department of surgery at Patan Hospital, Nepal, during COVID-19 lock-down from 24 march to 15 June 2020. All patients who underwent gastrointestinal (GI) surgery were included. High-risk patients (as defined by the Hospital Incident Command System, HICS) were tested for COVID-19 preoperatively. Surgery was performed in COVID operating room with full protective gear. Low-risk patients were not tested for COVID-19 preoperatively and performed surgery in non-COVID OR. Data from patient’s case-sheets were analyzed descriptively for age, gender, comorbidities, hospital stay, RT-PCR results, surgeries, and postoperative complications.
Result: There were total 44 GI surgeries performed; 31(70.5%) were emergency, 5(11.3%) semi-emergency and 8(18.2%) oncology. There were 11(25%) patients tested for COVID-19 preoperatively and were negative. Nine HCWs tested for COVID-19 randomly were negative. Severe postoperative complications developed in 3 patients, with one mortality.
Conclusion: Among GI surgeries, there was no increase in postoperative complications and transmission of COVID-19 to the patients or HCWs following the implementation of standard testing criteria and surgical strategy.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Corona Virus Disease-19, the COVID-19, has become a pandemic of public health concern, more so for developing countries like Nepal with an inadequate and vulnerable health system. Among all the seven provinces of the country, Province-2 seems to be at higher risk due to population density and open porous border with neighboring India. This survey was conducted among the undergraduate medical students of medical colleges in Province-2, Nepal to evaluate their knowledge and perception regarding the prevention and spread of the virus.
Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in September 2020 among final-year undergraduate medical students and interns from Janaki Medical College in Janakpur and National Medical College in Birgunj of Province-2, Nepal. A structured 30-item questionnaire containing demographics (5 items), knowledge (15 items), and perception (10 items) regarding COVID-19 was used for an online survey via email. Ethical approval was taken. Descriptive analysis was performed.
Result: A total of 200 out of 250 respondents (>95%) had an adequate level of knowledge on etiology, symptoms, hand hygiene, severity, vulnerability, precautionary measures, and treatment guidelines of COVID-19. More than 80% were ready to work in the hospital during the pandemic with support from their family and nearly half of them (49%) perceived that the preparedness and supplies were sufficient in their institutions.
Conclusion: The survey revealed that the majority of the final-year medical students and interns in Province-2 Nepal had adequate knowledge and perception regarding COVID-19.
Knee injuries: correlation of MRI with arthroscopic findings
Authors: Gyawali Bidur , Joshi Amit , Kayastha Nirab 
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Knee injuries are common among active adults. Achieving a correct clinical diagnosis is often difficult in acute presentations. Knee arthroscopy is considered the gold standard in diagnosing post-traumatic intra-articular lesions, but it is an invasive procedure requiring a certain degree of expertise. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive, sensitive diagnostic tool for knee injuries. This study aims to correlate the findings of MRI with arthroscopy of the knee.
Method: This Prospective Observational Study was done at Shree Birendra Hospital, Kathmandu, Nepal from 13 Feb 2016 to 13 Jun 2016. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of MRI findings in ligamentous, meniscal, and osteochondral injuries of the knee were analyzed using arthroscopic findings as standard.
Result: Fifty-two patients (35 male and 17 female), mean age 35.4 years were included in the study. The accuracy of MRI for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial meniscus, lateral meniscus, and chondral lesions of the knee were 94%, 100%, 92%,86%, and 86% respectively.
Conclusion: The MRI is accurate (86-94%) in diagnosing Meniscal and Ligamentous injuries of the knee. It has poor sensitivity (22%) for chondral lesions.

Published: January 2021

Introduction: Gestational trophoblastic diseases include a spectrum of pregnancy-related diseases caused by abnormal proliferation of the placenta. The main aim of this study was to correlate ultrasound imaging with histopathological findings.
Method: This is the retrospective chart review of findings of transabdominal ultrasonography in clinically suspected gestational trophoblastic diseases which were confirmed by histopathology after the evacuation of a product of conception during 3 years from 2016 to 2019 at Patan Hospital, Patan Academy of Health Sciences Nepal. The accuracy of sonography was correlated with histopathological findings and analyzed by Fisher’s Exact or Pearson’s Chi-square tests. The study was approved ethically.
Result: Among 155 clinically suspected gestational trophoblastic diseases, ultrasonography was accurate in 141(91.0%) and confirmed by histopathology; 14(9.0%) were non-molar miscarriages. In 141 histologically confirmed trophoblastic disease, 110(71.0 %) were partial mole, 15(9.7%) complete mole, 12(7.7%) invasive mole and 3(1.9 %) persistent mole, and 1(0.6%) choriocarcinoma. Snowstorm appearance and absence of fetus were statistically significant ultrasonography findings.
Conclusion: The ultrasound is a reliable non-invasive first-line imaging modality for the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic diseases and had an accuracy of 91% as confirmed by histopathology in this study.
