Tympanoplasty for Wet and Dry Perforation: A Prospective Comparative Study
Authors: Maiti Amit Bikram , Sinha Rupam 
Published: February 2021

Introduction
Two types of surgical procedures are performed for the treatment of Chronic otitis media (COM) mucosal disease, namely myringoplasty and tympanoplasty. In the present study, an objective, comparative evaluation between the outcomes of tympanoplasty, performed in the ‘wet ear’ and the ‘dry (non- discharging) ear’ has been undertaken.
Materials and Methods
A prospective study was conducted in a peripheral referral institute over a period of 37 months wherein a total of 105 patients with tympanic membrane perforation were selected, amongst which 56 patients had moist ear and 49 patients had dry ear. All of the patients underwent tympanoplasty by underlay technique. Final results were analyzed 12 months post operatively.
Results
In the wet ear group amongst 56 patients, 51 patients had successful graft uptake (91.07%). In dry ear group, among 49 patients, successful graft uptake was seen in 44 cases (89.79%). In the wet ear group 50 out of 56 patients had hearing improvement (89.28%). In dry ear group 44 out of 49 patients had hearing improvement (89.79%). Statistically significant results were obtained postoperatively in each group; however, inter group analyses showed no statistical significance.
Conclusion
Success rate of tympanoplasty does not depend upon the wet or dry state of middle ear at the time of surgery.

Published: February 2021

Introduction
This study aimed to document the effect of Auditory Verbal Therapy (AVT) with proper assessment and management in early intervention of a child with bimodal hearing. Bimodal Hearing is the use of a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the opposite ear. Auditory Verbal Therapy is a highly specialist early intervention programme which equips parents with the skills to maximise their deaf child’s speech and language development.
Case Report
A male child aged 5 years 1 month had bilateral severe to profound hearing loss and speech-language problem. He was using cochlear implant in the right ear and BTE hearing aid in left ear (Bimodal hearing). Speech and language assessment revealed delayed semantic, syntax and pragmatic skills. Assessment of language development test showed poor receptive and expressive language score. The functional auditory performance indicator score indicated poor auditory function. Auditory verbal therapy hierarchy plan was used for treatment. Post 15 sessions after applying AVT the child’s listening and linguistic skills showed a great improvement.
Discussion
The scales used to measure the efficacy of AVT are found to be useful for the assessment and goal setting for intervention. Thus, appropriate quantification of various aspects of communication skills may describe its potential impact in this case under ADIP scheme.
Evaluation and Comparison of the Outcomes of Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy with and without Silicone Stent
Authors: Prasad Bipin Kishore , Ghosh Krishna Kamal 
Published: February 2021

Introduction

Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy aims to establish a patent nasolacrimal fistula. Use of silicone stent is a preferred modification to achieve long term patency of neo-ostium, though it has been blamed for granulations, synechia and punctal erosion. Present study was done to evaluate and compare the outcomes of Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy with and without stent.
Materials and Methods
40 patients of with chronic dacryocystitis and nasolacrimal duct blockage were selected for the study. Nasal endoscopy was done for suitability of surgical access and to detect any nasal pathology. Sac syringing was done to assess the site of blockage and Dacryoscintigraphy to confirm it. 20 patients in Group A underwent Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy without stent and remaining 20 in Group B with silicone stent. Success rates were determined by subjective relief from epiphora and by endoscopic visualization of rhinostomy opening, granulation tissues/ synechiae at rhinostomy site and by result of sac syringing.
Results
In Group A, complete relief was obtained in 75% patients, significant relief in 10% and no relief in 15% patients thus recording overall success rate of 85%; whereas in Group B complete relief of symptom was obtained in 70% patients, significant relief in 10% and no symptom relief in 20% patients thus recording the overall success rate of 80%. Cases in Group B were also found to have persistent epiphora (17.5%), stenosis of ostium (25%), granulation (35%) and synechia (37.5%).
Conclusion
Stenting does not significantly improve the success of Endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy but is associated with more complications.
L’influence de la pensée socio-politique britannique des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles sur les « Lumières » orthodoxes en Russie
Authors: Khruleva Irina 
Published: February 2021

L’adoption des idées occidentales en Russie fut un processus complexe, dépendant de leur adaptation au contexte social et politique russe. Le rapprochement entre la Russie et la culture britannique commença principalement après la visite en Angleterre, en 1698, de Pierre Ier. Bon connaisseur des auteurs anglais des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, Théophane Prokopovitch, l’un des principaux idéologues du tsar, se contente pourtant d’adopter le côté formel de leurs réflexions. Sa justification du pouvoir étatique absolu n’est pas sans rappeler le Léviathan de Thomas Hobbes. Dans ses réflexions sur l’égalité, une idée chère aux Lumières, le métropolite de Moscou, Platon II, recourt en fait à la théologie et aux principes moraux de l’orthodoxie. Les « Lumières orthodoxes » offrent ainsi une synthèse des cultures laïque et sacrée, de la théologie traditionnelle et des nouvelles pratiques intellectuelles occidentales.
Puritanisme et politique en Angleterre dans la première moitié du XVIIe siècle
Authors: Poussou Jean-Pierre 
Published: February 2021

Le terme de puritain ne désigne pas seulement une attitude, un comportement : il vient d’une situation historique et correspond à la volonté d’une partie importante des protestants anglais de la seconde moitié du XVIe siècle et de la première moitié du XVIIe que l’Église « établie » par Élisabeth Ire devienne réellement calviniste. Les puritains veulent en outre que chacun observe une discipline morale, les « saints » en donnant eux-mêmes l’exemple. Ni la reine ni son successeur Jacques Ier ne partageaient leurs idées ; les relations furent donc difficiles mais elles tournèrent à l’affrontement lorsqu’à partir de 1625 régna Charles Ier, partisan de l’arminianisme, mouvement protestant qui tient à la hiérarchie ecclésiastique et rejette la prédestination. Jusqu’en 1640 le roi et Laud, archevêque de Canterbury, muselèrent les puritains mais les erreurs de leur politique religieuse avec l’Écosse amenèrent un conflit qui en 1640 obligea le roi à appeler deux parlements successifs. Celui qui se réunit le 3 novembre 1640 fut sous domination puritaine. Il priva le roi de ses pouvoirs et procéda à une véritable révolution qui déboucha sur une guerre civile. Le camp parlementaire, dont les puritains constituaient la force principale, surtout sur le plan militaire, l’emporta. Mais, une fois au pouvoir et le roi exécuté (janvier 1649), ils ne purent s’accorder sur de nouvelles structures religieuses ni fonder un nouveau régime. Parallèlement, la disparition en 1640 de la censure et l’effondrement du rôle de l’Église d’Angleterre permirent la multiplication des sectes auxquelles adhérèrent de nombreux puritains. C’est ainsi que de réformateurs de l’Église établie ils devinrent les adhérents de nouvelles églises. La victoire des puritains avait ainsi eu pour conséquence qu’ils étaient devenus des Dissidents.
Risque et existence chez Søren Kierkegaard
Authors: Bord Jérôme 
Published: February 2021

La question du risque transparaît dans toute l’œuvre de Kierkegaard. En plus de lui apporter dynamisme et profondeur, elle permet au penseur danois d’articuler philosophie de l’existence et philosophie de la foi. Précisément, le risque chrétien, en tant que risque « intellectuel » et « existentiel », oriente l’individu vers soi-même, et plus exactement, vers ce paradigme de l’identité qu’est le Christ en tant qu’homme-Dieu. Nous nous proposons donc ici d’analyser cette notion éminemment kierkegaardienne en insistant notamment sur deux modalités du risque : le risque comme catégorie « polémique », vis-à-vis de la chrétienté en tant qu’avatar de la mondanité, et le risque comme catégorie « théologico-existentielle », en ceci qu’il détermine, positivement ou négativement, l’existence de l’individu.
L’éthique en temps de catastrophe
Authors: Gillouard Pierre 
Published: February 2021

L’article entend répondre à la question suivante : en quoi le catastrophisme dans la pensée écologique peut-il inciter à agir afin de préserver au mieux les conditions d’habitabilité de la Terre ? Dans cette perspective, sont analysées les pensées catastrophistes de Hans Jonas, Jean-Pierre Dupuy, Pierre-Henri Castel, et des collapsologues, avec en filigrane celles de Günther Anders et de Simone Weil. Pour répondre, il convient de prêter attention à la temporalité dans laquelle ils (ou elle) pensent la catastrophe (est-elle à venir ou déjà en cours ?) et à l’inscription ontologique de la catastrophe dans cette temporalité (est-elle inéluctable ou évitable ?). La conclusion est la suivante : la perspective de la catastrophe est effectivement mobilisatrice, pour celles et ceux qui se reconnaissent un devoir d’agir, quand la catastrophe est pensée comme inéluctable et déjà en cours, portant en germe une fin inévitable mais dont le contenu demeure incertain : la disparition de la vie ou le dépassement du facteur déterminant de la catastrophe, la Technique.
L’impératif de l’indicatif
Authors: Valinho Gomes Pedro 
Published: February 2021

Cet article propose un itinéraire de réflexion sur les fondements de l’éthique théologique en articulant trois contributions de Karl Barth à ce domaine : la définition de l’éthique comme l’impératif de l’indicatif qu’est la dogmatique, voire l’inséparabilité entre éthique et dogmatique qui place l’éthique à l’écoute de la révélation ; l’articulation d’un nexus christologique entre les catégories d’obéissance et de liberté comme « autodétermination déterminée » ; le débat sur l’Évangile et la Loi, comme révélation de l’histoire de la grâce à partir de laquelle se déploie la grammaire d’une existence chrétienne. Cet itinéraire est entrecoupé par trois passages bibliques qui sont alignés sur les contributions de Barth : la vocation d’Abraham ; l’agonie de Jésus à Gethsémani ; la question posée à Jésus sur le bien qu’il faut faire pour entrer dans la vie éternelle. Nous suggérons que cet itinéraire biblique et barthien souligne qu’une éthique théologiquement construite conflue vers la christologie.

Published: February 2021

Maize is a widely grown cereal crop worldwide, butthe heat stress and delayed sowing of maize are major constraints that result in declining the maize productivity.Therefore, the current study was designed to investigate the growth promoting effect of different growth regulators i.e., salicylic acid, methyl jasmonate, and humic acid at multiple sowing times in spring maize. Experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design having split-plot arrangement with three replications having plot size of 6m × 2.25m.The yield contributing agronomic parameters were recorded and analyzed statistically by using Fisher’s analysis of variance technique and treatment means were contrasted by Least significance difference having 5% probability test. Results revealed that early and delayed sowing of maize tended to decline the maize productivity and grain yield. Maximum yield and yield contributing traits were observed in S1 (recommended sowing, i.e., 20-02-2017). The plant growth regulators significantly influenced the productivity of maize and minimized heat stress. The interaction between sowing dates and plant growth regulators were also significant. Among plant growth regulators, the foliar application of methyl jasmonate resulted to produce maximum biological, grain yield, 1000-grain weight, and harvest index, which were 23.04, 36.12, 14.06 and 7.87%, respectively higher than the control.The study reported that delayed sowing of maize declined the production of maize due to the gradual rise of temperature in March and plant growth regulators had the potential to minimize the heat stress and productivity of maize.

Published: February 2021

A complete diallel analysis was carried out to determine combining ability of Shandar, NIA-Mehran, NIA-19/A, KS-282 and Shua-92 rice varieties in F1 during 2017. The objective of the study was to identify potential recombinants for future rice breeding program. The research was conducted at Nuclear Institute of Agriculture, Tandojam. Genotypic mean squares were significant (P ?0.01) for all of the traits i.e.; days to heading, days to maturity, plant height, number of tillers plant-1, panicle length, grains panicle-1 and grain yield plant-1 indicating genetic variation. Importance of both additive and non-additive gene action was found with preponderance of additive genetic effects in expression of traits studied. Showing negative GCA effects, NIA-Mehran, NIA-19/A and Shua-92 proved better parent varieties for developing early maturity. While, NIA-Mehran, KS-282 and Shua-92 for developing short stature genotypes. While, Shandar remained the best combiner for yield and yield associated traits with higher positive GCA effects. Cross combination of Shandar × KS-282 was the best with higher negative effects for days to heading and maturity and higher positive effects for grain yield plant-1. NIA-Mehran × Shua-92 gave the highest negative SCA effects indicating best combination for short stature. In case of number of tillers plant-1 and grains panicle-1, the cross NIA-19/A × KS-282 was the better combination with the highest positive SCA effects. Shandar × NIA-Mehran manifested the highest value for panicle length. Findings of reciprocal SCA revealed that the reciprocal cross combination of Shua-92 × Shandar was fruitful illustrating negative effects for days to heading and maturity. While, KS-282 × NIA-Mehran was the best reciprocal combination for yield and yield associated traits. It is concluded that rice varieties Shandar and NIA-Mehran could be used to improve yield contributing traits in rice, while, NIA-Mehran and KS-282 may be used to improve early maturity and short stature in rice crop.

Authors: Purba Elvis F. 
Published: February 2021

This paper describes the economic potential of each industrial origin Humbang Hasundutan regency period 2010-2018. The analysis is based on: (1) location quotient (LQ), (2) sectoral contribution to GDRP, and (3) sectoral contribution to the regency's economic growth rate. Assuming that there is no a drastic change in the sectoral GDRP value in one or several industrial origin, the annual average value from the observation period is used. Furthermore, to determine the economic potential of each industrial origin based on established quantitative criteria. The results of data analysis indicate that only one industrial origin has high economic potential, namely agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Then there are two industrial origin with moderate potential, i.e.: (1) construction and (2) government administration, defense and campulsory social security. The remaining fourteen other industrial origin have low potential.
Over time, it is estimated that there will be changes in the contribution of each industrial origin to GDRP and the rate of regency economic growth. However, agriculture, forestry and fisheries are estimated to still have high potential in the next few decades, especially since Humbang Hasundutan regency has been designated as one of the food estate for Indonesia.
Permąstant partinių sistemų įtaką rinkėjų elgsenos kaitumui: Lietuvos savivaldybių tarybų atvejis
Authors: Jastramskis Mažvydas 
Published: February 2021

Pastaraisiais dešimtmečiais rinkėjų elgsenos kaitumo tyrimai politikos moksluose tapo aktualia tema. Tačiau vieno įtakingiausių šio reiškinio aiškinimų, partinės sistemos, teorinis ir empirinis pagrindimas yra gana komplikuotas dėl dviejų priežasčių: Giovannio Sartorio partinių sistemų klasifikacijos tiesioginio transplantavimo ir nacionalinio lyg­mens imčių naudojimo. Šiame straipsnyje, derinant G. Sartorio ir Peterio Mairo teorijas, pasiūloma inovatyvi partinių sistemų (apibrėžiamų kaip ilgojo laikotarpio koalicinių šablonų) tipologija ir iš jos išvedamas rinkėjų elgsenos kaitumo aiškinimas. Teorija tikrinama remiantis empiriniu tyrimu ir naudojant 1995–2011 m. duomenis iš Lietuvos savivaldybių tarybų. Atrandama, kad kuo mažiau partinėse sistemose, kurias apibrėžia konkretus koalicinio partijų elgesio šablonas, yra paskatų stabiliau balsuoti už tam tikras partijų blokų alternatyvas, tuo didesnė jose aukšto rinkėjų elgsenos kaitumo tikimybė.
