Traduire la non-binarité et l’altérité de genre en science-fiction
Authors: Dumoulin Pierre Gabriel , Lescouet Emmanuelle 
Published: December 2024

La fluidité de genre et la non-binarité sont répandues dans les univers de science-fiction. Les auteur·ice·s profitent de la diversité offerte par le genre pour expérimenter avec les graphies, les accords et les pronoms. Cette diversité est adressée de plusieurs façons : la neutralité des protagonistes non-binaires, les êtres sentients robotiques, ou encore les êtres extraterrestres dont les corps et les cultures n’ont aucune conception de la binarité des corps humains. La créativité des auteur·rice·s exige des traducteur·rice·s et des éditeur·rice·s de se positionner sur comment rendre l’étrangéité du texte de départ (des néologismes aux structures socioculturelles et politiques) dans le texte d’arrivée, en ce qu’elle mène à des propositions non standardisée. Dans cet article, nous explorerons la diversité des propositions pour représenter la non-binarité et la neutralité de genre en science-fiction. Pour cela, nous nous concentrerons sur l’analyse comparative des séries Murderbot Diaries de Martha Wells et Monk and Robot de Becky Chambers, accompagnées de leurs traductions en français. Nous contextualiserons cette analyse en explorant les façons dont les auteur·rice·s anglophones et francophones abordent le genre et la non-binarité dans les œuvres.
Du Buzz Blades au « Discozigzag » : traduire en français les armes loufoques de Ratchet & Clank
Authors: Ray Alice 
Published: December 2024

La science-fiction n’est pas un genre qui manque d’humour, et le jeu vidéo s’empare également de cette science-fiction débridée et interférentielle qui aime jouer avec ses propres codes science-fictionnels. En 2002, le premier opus de la série Ratchet & Clank sort sur PS2 (Insomniac Games) et offre un monde science-fictionnel cartoonesque et loufoque qui sera repris dans un remake du même nom en 2016 sur PS4 et qui contient tout autant (sinon plus) de termes science-fictionnels. Le défi est triple pour le traducteur : conserver l’aspect science-fictionnel des termes ainsi que leurs caractéristiques humoristiques, tout en proposant des termes qui soient cohérents avec les effets des objets sur le monde vidéoludique. Cet article propose d’effectuer une analyse contrastive des noms des armes en anglais et en français des deux versions de Ratchet & Clank en reprenant le concept de generic fluency (Korpi, 2017) ainsi que des recherches précédentes sur les créations lexicales en anglais et en français (Angenot, 1979 ; Gindre, 1999, Poix, 2020), afin d’examiner la manière dont les trois aspects (science-fiction, humour et jouabilité) ont été transférés dans la version française de ces deux jeux et éclairer le choix des traducteurs. L’existence d’un remake permettra également de constater s’il y a eu une évolution entre 2002 et 2016, que ce soit au niveau des créations lexicales en version originale ou de leur traduction.

Authors: Abdelwahab Inas , Al Mulla Khalid , Al Jarallah Mohammed , Dashti Raja , Al Balool Joud , Albash Buthina , Rajan Rajesh 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Danon disease (DD) is a rare X-linked disorder secondary to lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP2) deficiency that manifests as hypertrophic or dilated cardiomyopathy. We report an obscure presentation of DD in a 14-year-old female patient diagnosed using cardiac imaging including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. A final diagnosis of DD was made after identification of LAMP2 genetic variant. The diagnosis of DD requires a high index of suspicion, particularly in female patients with atypical phenotypes. This case highlights the necessity of a holistic approach for early detection.

Authors: Baloni Vipin , Upadhyay Prem Shanker 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

BACKGROUND:
Asthma is the most common chronic disease in children, imposing a consistent burden on the healthcare system. In Ayurveda, many formulations are described for managing Shwasa (respiratory disease) and Kasa (cough). Duralabhadi yoga is one of them, which is classically mentioned in Yogaratnakar, Balarogachikitsha, for the treatment of Shwasa (respiratory disease) and Kasa (cough). The present study aimed to identify the phytoactive components of Duralabhadi yoga, as well as the extracts of Vasa and Kantakari, and to learn more about how these phytoactive components affect the human respiratory system, particularly in the cases of childhood asthma.

METHODS:
For each of the content of Duralabhadi yoga samples and Vasa and Kantakari samples, a high resolution—liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis was conducted, and the phytochemical components were identified. Following that, it was determined which constituents impacted asthma and the human respiratory system with the aid of earlier research on these well-known phytochemicals available in databases like PubMed and ChEMBL.

RESULTS:
In Duralabha sample, 15 compounds have various effects on the respiratory system. 11 compounds have pharmacological action on the respiratory system in the sample of Pippali. In the sample of Haritaki 12 compounds have pharmacological action on the respiratory system. Sixteen compounds each have various effects on the respiratory system in Draksha and Vasa sample. Nine compounds have pharmacological action on the respiratory system in the sample of Kantakari.

CONCLUSIONS:
The phytoactive compounds found in Vasa, Kantakari, and the various contents of Duralabhadi yoga formulation have the effects of being bronchodilator, anti-inflammatory, antitussive, and anti-allergic.
Mountainous therapeutic plant Nardostachys jatamansi (D.Don) DC grown in vitro used as a substitute for wild plants
Authors: Pant Hem Chandra , Gaurav Naveen , Pant Harsh Vardhan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

BACKGROUND:

Nardostachys jatamansi is widely used in the Unani, Ayurveda, and Siddha medicine systems. The extensive use of this plant in traditional medicine makes it an endemic plant. N. Jatamansi relieves symptoms of anxiety, epilepsy and weak memory, whereas plant oil (basically known as spikenard oil) is used to maintain hair growth, cardiac problems, and diabetes.

METHODS:
In our study, we tried to validate in vitro-grown plants as a substitute for wild-type plants for therapeutic purposes. We compared the phytochemical and biological (antibacterial) activity of in vitro-grown and wild-type plant root extract. For comparative analysis, we cultivated in vitro plants from the nodal ex-plants of N. Jatamansi. Then, methanol and water extract from in vitro grown and wild-type plant rhizome extract were prepared using the maceration method.

RESULTS:
The results revealed that in comparison to wild-type plants, other than flavonoids and terpenoids. All phytochemicals were reported in the in vitro-grown plant extract. However, both plant extracts showed a significant (P > 0.05) antibacterial activity.

CONCLUSION:
This study found that in vitro generated and wild-type plant extracts showed almost similar phytochemical profiles. Antimicrobial activity was also detected in plants grown in vitro. Our findings are suggestive of exploring utility of in vitro-grown plants as a substitute for wild type plants by investigating their phytochemical and pharmacological profile.
Analyzing the quality of multiple-choice questions in microbiology for second-year MBBS students
Authors: Singh Gurjeet , Singh Raksha , Ananthakrishnan Nilakantan 
Published: December 2024

Abstract

Background and Objective:
According to the 2023 Graduate Medical Education Regulations by the National Medical Commission for competency-based medical education in the MBBS curriculum, 20% of assessment questions are now multiple-choice questions (MCQs) in formative and summative evaluations. This study aims to evaluate the quality of MCQs in microbiology assessment for second-year MBBS students and compare different methods for calculating the difficulty index, discrimination index (DI), and distractor effectiveness (DE) of the items.

Materials and Methods:
This study analyzed 20 MCQs, including 20 correct answers (keys) and 60 distractors, from an internal microbiology assessment of 150 students. The items were evaluated for difficulty index (DIF I), Discrimination Index (DI), and Distractor Effectiveness (DE) using three methods: (1) entire group analysis, (2) grouping by the upper third and lower third of students (50 in each), and (3) selecting the top and bottom 27% of students.

Results:
The difficulty index was calculated using the whole group, upper-third vs. lower-third, and top vs. bottom 27%. Results indicated that the whole group and upper-third/lower-third methods provided similar accuracy, while the top vs. bottom 27% selection method tended to underestimate difficulty levels. The DI, useful for distinguishing between high and low performers, was best calculated using the top and bottom 27% of students, as whole-group analysis was found irrelevant. Two methods were used to measure DE: whole-group and upper-third/lower-third. However, neither approach showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
This study highlights the importance of selecting quality MCQs with moderate difficulty, high discriminative power, and effective distractors to accurately differentiate student performance. Findings suggest that using the top and bottom 27% group is more effective than using the upper-third/lower-third group for analysis of the items.

Fizinio aktyvumo įtaka smegenų neuroplastiškumui. Literatūros apžvalga
Authors: Laura Gulbinaitė  
Published: December 2024

Tikslas – atlikti mokslinės literatūros apžvalgą apie ląstelinius ir molekulinius mechanizmus, kuriais grindžiamas fizinio aktyvumo poveikis smegenų neuroplastiškumui.Metodai. Literatūros šaltinių apžvalga atlikta duomenų bazėje PubMed. Literatūros paieška atlikta anglų kalba pagal reikšminius žodžius ir jų junginius: neuroplasticity, brain plasticity, physical exercise, physical activity. Duomenų bazėje rastos 3 927 publikacijos anglų kalba. Straipsniai atrinkti pagal tris kriterijus: pavadinimą, santrauką, teksto išsamumą (visateksčiai). Atrinktas ir išsamiai išanalizuotas 31 mokslinis straipsnis, publikuotas 2019–2024 m. Šaltiniams nagrinėti taikyta aprašomoji analizė.Rezultatai. Fizinis aktyvumas teigiamai veikia smegenų funkciją per įvairius mechanizmus. Fizinis aktyvumas didina neurotrofinių veiksnių, būtinų neuronų išlikimui ir regeneracijai, gamybą. Jis didina sinapsinį plastiškumą, mažina oksidacinį stresą ir skatina mitochondrijų aktyvumą, o visa tai prisideda prie kognityvinių funkcijų gerėjimo ir atsparumo su amžiumi susijusiam neurologinių funkcijų blogėjimui bei neurodegeneracinėms ligoms. Fizinis aktyvumas mažina uždegiminių citokinų kiekį, stiprina priešuždegimines reakcijas ir gerina neuronų ryšius.Išvados. Fizinis aktyvumas yra naudinga priemonė, padedanti pagerinti neuroplastiškumą ir kognityvinę būklę nepriklausomai nuo amžiaus. Jis skatina palankius molekulinius ir ląstelinius pokyčius smegenyse, skatina neurogenezę, sinapsinį plastiškumą ir bendrą smegenų sveikatą. Fizinis aktyvumas taip pat skatina teigiamus smegenų struktūrinės morfologijos pokyčius, aktyvina atitinkamas funkcines smegenų sritis ir skatina adaptyvius elgesio pokyčius. Reguliarus fizinis aktyvumas yra labai svarbus norint palaikyti kognityvines funkcijas ir sušvelninti su senėjimu susijusius neurodegeneracinius procesus.Aerobinės, jėgos ir didelio intensyvumo intervalinės treniruotės teigiamai veikia smegenų sveikatą, tačiau jų poveikio mechanizmai ir trukmė yra skirtingi. Nepaisant įtikinamų įrodymų, patvirtinančių neuroprotekcinį fizinio krūvio poveikį, sporto medicinos ir reabilitacijos srityje vis dar diskutuojama apie tai, kaip skirtingi neuroprotekciniai mechanizmai veikia kiekvieno konkretaus fizinių treniruočių tipo ir intensyvumo metu.

Factors Influencing Completion of Non-Governmental Projects in Rwanda. A Case of the Society for Family Health Rwanda's Youth Employment Project
Authors: Uwitonze Stella , Irechukwu Eugenia 
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the factors affecting the completion of NGO projects in Rwanda, with a focus on funding, stakeholder participation, project communication, and effective planning.
Methodology: The study employed a descriptive research design and was grounded in Rational Choice Theory, Resource Dependence Theory, Communications Theory, and Theory of Constraints. Data were collected from 180 employees of the Society for Family Health Rwanda using semi-structured questionnaires. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 25, incorporating descriptive statistics and regression analysis.
Findings: The findings revealed that funding levels had a positive but statistically insignificant effect on project completion (β = 0.080, p > 0.05). Stakeholder participation exhibited a negative but statistically insignificant relationship (β = -0.056, p > 0.05). However, project communication emerged as a significant predictor, showing a negative standardized coefficient (β = -0.421, p < 0.001), indicating that ineffective communication adversely impacts project completion. Effective planning demonstrated the strongest positive association with project success (β = 1.042, p < 0.001).
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: To enhance project completion rates, NGOs in Rwanda should prioritize meticulous planning, as it significantly influences project success. Additionally, improving communication strategies is essential to address the negative impact of ineffective communication on project outcomes. While funding and stakeholder participation showed no significant effects, efforts should still be made to optimize these factors to support project execution.
