Makerspaces, flexible and inclusive learning environments. A scoping review
Authors: Menichetti Laura , Micheletta Silvia 
Published: August 2021

The contribution analyzes the scientific literature from 2000 to 2021 to determine in which training contexts makerspaces are used and for what purposes, for preschool and school age children and youth. The scoping review shows that many experiences are documented in literature, but few experimental studies exist. However, the examples collected, of a constructionist nature, show some privileged areas of intervention: makerspaces are recognized as a valid tool for the development of problem solving and creativity skills, for a more conscious application in the technical-scientific-artistic disciplines, for the creation of inclusive contexts, in situations of social disease or of people more frequently excluded and underrepresented.

Makerspace, ambienti di apprendimento flessibili e inclusivi. Una scoping review
Il contributo analizza la letteratura scientifica dal 2000 al 2021 per determinare in quali contesti formativi siano utilizzati i makerspace e con quali finalità, per bambini e ragazzi di età prescolare e scolare. La scoping review mostra che in letteratura sono documentate molte esperienze, ma esistono pochi studi sperimentali. Gli esempi raccolti, di stampo costruzionista, mostrano però alcune aree privilegiate di intervento: i makerspace sono riconosciuti come valido strumento per lo sviluppo di competenze di problem solving e creatività, per una più consapevole applicazione nelle discipline tecnico-scientifiche-artistiche, per la realizzazione di contesti inclusivi soprattutto in situazioni di disagio sociale o di persone più frequentemente escluse e sottorappresentate.
Antagonostic effectiveness of Macromycetes against Candida albicans strains and Issatchenkia orientalis
Authors: Barshteyn Victor , Krupodorova Tetiana , Pokas Olena 
Published: August 2021

The trend to search novel natural antifungal compounds has recently been increasing. Interspecific interactions between 30 Macromycetes species and fungal pathogens (Issatchenkia orientalis, Candida albicans strains) have been evaluated using dual culture plate assay. Interaction reactions between studied fungi were different: deadlock after mycelia contact or at a distance, overgrowth without initial deadlock, partial or complete replacement after initial deadlock with contact. Domination of replacement (78.7 %) of pathogenic fungi by Macromycetes was established. Complete replacement was almost twice more frequent (30.7 %) than partial replacement (19.3 %). These results clearly indicate effectiveness of Macromycetes against pathogenic fungi via contact antagonism. Strong antagonistic activity with high antagonistic index (AI) was established by xylotrophic species Ganoderma applanatum (AI = 22.5), Lentinula edodes (AI = 21.0), Flammulina velutipes, Irpiciporus litschaueri and Pleurotus ostreatus (AI = 20.5), leaf litter decay fungus Crinipellis schevczenkoi (AI = 21), and soil saprotroph Lyophyllum shimeji (AI = 21).

Abstract
We investigate the dust attenuation in both stellar populations and ionized gas in kiloparsec-scale regions in nearby galaxies using integral field spectroscopy data from MaNGA MPL-9. We identify star-forming (H ii) and diffuse ionized gas (DIG) regions from MaNGA data cubes. From the stacked spectrum of each region, we measure the stellar attenuation,

Sécularisation, théories et empirie en Europe
Authors: Bréchon Pierre 
Published: August 2021

La sécularisation des sociétés a suscité de très nombreux débats au cours du xxe siècle. Une première période, très marquée par des sociologues cherchant à la combattre et à combattre la déchristianisation, a été suivie d’une prise d’autonomie par rapport au champ religieux : la sociologie de la religion s’est construite autour du paradigme dominant d’une sécularisation comme perte de pouvoir progressif des religions instituées. Mais depuis la fin du xxe siècle, les analyses sont plus nuancées. À l’aide des enquêtes European Values Study et International Social Survey Programme, cet article étudie les différentes facettes du religieux (rapport aux religions instituées, pratiques, sentiment religieux, croyances, dimension conséquentielle) qui n’évoluent pas nécessairement dans le même sens : des recompositions complexes s’opèrent, souvent sur le mode du possible et de l’incertitude même si la sécularisation correspond à un système de valeurs particulier, toujours assez distinct de celui des croyants. Cet article cherche à mieux comprendre le mouvement de sécularisation et les résistances des religions.
Is France exceptionally irreligious? A comparative test of the cohort replacement theory
Authors: Stolz Jörg , Biolcati Ferruccio , Molteni Francesco 
Published: August 2021

Si les chercheurs ont souvent souligné le fait que la France est peut-être un pays exceptionnellement irréligieux, cette hypothèse n’a pas encore été testée avec des données longitudinales ; et les chercheurs n’ont pas non plus tenté d’expliquer cette prétendue irréligiosité. Le présent article tente de combler cette lacune de la littérature en comparant la France à d’autres pays catholiques d’Europe occidentale. Pour ce faire, nous utilisons l’ensemble de données européennes qui est, à ce jour, le plus complet sur l’appartenance et la fréquentation des églises dans les pays européens (CARPE), ainsi que les données du Programme international d’enquête sociale (ISSP) qui permettent de mesurer les croyances religieuses rétrospectivement, dès les années 1910. La France affiche une religiosité globale significativement plus faible que les autres pays catholiques d’Europe occidentale, bien que cet écart ait diminué au cours des dernières décennies (et ce faible niveau de religiosité ne peut s’expliquer par des effets de période, spécifiques à la France, opérant au cours des quarante dernières années). La sécularisation en France prend plutôt la forme d’un remplacement de cohortes, ce qui a conduit à la reproduction des différences de religiosité entre les pays d’une génération à l’autre. En d’autres termes, si la France est plus irréligieuse c’est qu’elle a pris la voie de la transition séculière plus tôt que les autres pays, ou en partant d’un niveau plus bas.
La conversion au judaïsme comme relation et comme institution
Authors: Tank-Storper Sébastien 
Published: August 2021

Les vingt dernières années ont vu émerger un véritable champ de recherche francophone consacré à l’étude des conversions religieuses. À de rares exceptions près, ces travaux s’inscrivent dans une sociologie de la sécularisation et de l’identification religieuse ou dans une anthropologie du rapport individuel à Dieu validant le postulat d’un processus croissant d’individualisation, de dérégulation et de désinstitutionnalisation des religiosités contemporaines.Les enquêtes empiriques que j’ai menées sur les processus de conversion au judaïsme m’ont conduit à questionner ce type d’approche. La thèse défendue est double : tout d’abord, les parcours de conversion ne peuvent se comprendre en dehors des entrelacs relationnels à travers lesquels les convertis ne cessent de se construire ; ensuite, le processus formel de conversion reste dans le cas du judaïsme largement normé par les institutions religieuses. La conversion apparaît ainsi comme l’un des lieux possibles de définition, d’énonciation et d’actualisation de la doctrine et des normes religieuses dans un contexte de redéfinition de l’institutionnalité religieuse.
Quand l’étranger fait retour
Authors: Tamet Jean-Yves 
Published: August 2021

Le rêve serait-il l’étranger de la nuit et, à ce titre, ne devrait-il pas être mis de côté par des forces qui l’éloignent de sa mise en mots ? Ainsi pourrait-on comprendre pourquoi dans certaines cures le récit de rêve est si cadenassé. Alors son retour progressif vers la lumière de la langue serait l’équivalent d’une Odyssée, un lent mouvement qui éloigne de l’exigence d’une union avec la mère.
L’étranger du contre-transfert

Le contre-transfert, écrit Pontalis, peut être défini comme « le transfert en soi de l’étranger, de ce qui est le plus étranger au patient ». On essaye de montrer, grâce à une situation clinique, les différents mouvements provoqués par le contre-transfert dans sa dimension de proximité et d’étrangeté, en examinant les effets de la « palpation des surfaces psychiques » sur l’analyste.
Nul n’est étranger en son pays
Authors: Reca Martin 
Published: August 2021

Peut-on évoquer l’existence fonctionnelle d’un « noyau maniaque » chez le migrant volontaire qui, rattachant passionnément le désir d’être et le désir d’objet, lui montrerait son étoile ? Son statut d’étranger aspirerait inconsciemment peu ou prou à lui faire incarner un destin d’idéalité, sinon de grandeur. La clinique en montrerait l’envers et le revers. Le transfert configurerait une résistance toute particulière.
Une coopération complexe entre humanitaires et militaires : le CICR et le Commandement des Nations Unies durant la guerre de Corée
Authors: Turcotte Jean-Michel 
Published: August 2021

Au cours de la guerre de Corée (1950-1953), le Commandement des Nations Unies (CNU), dirigé par les Américains, a détenu quelque 170 000 prisonniers de guerre nord-coréens et chinois. Le Comité international de la Croix-Rouge (CICR) a été le seul organisme neutre habilité à visiter les camps de prisonniers en Corée du Sud en collaboration avec le CNU. Cette recherche révèle que le CICR et le CNU ont établi une coopération complexe par rapport à la captivité des soldats « ennemis ». Les travaux humanitaires des délégués du CICR ont été directement influencés par la diplomatie quotidienne développée avec les autorités militaires américaines. Cet article examine cette dynamique fondamentale dans notre compréhension de l’action du CICR et du droit international humanitaire en Corée.
« Le blabla sur l’amitié et la paix m’ennuie ». La diplomatie suisse face à la propagande chinoise (1949-1976)
Authors: Cordoba Cyril 
Published: August 2021

Cet article propose d’analyser pourquoi la Confédération helvétique, l’un des premiers pays occidentaux à reconnaître la République populaire de Chine en 1950, a fait preuve, au cours des trois décennies suivantes, d’une grande réserve dans le développement de ses relations avec Pékin. En examinant les incidents diplomatiques, les obstacles politiques puis les antagonismes idéologiques opposant les deux pays, cette contribution permet de mieux comprendre ce qui a poussé la Chine à contourner les canaux de communication officiels pour privilégier des échanges « de peuple à peuple » avec des partenaires qu’elle avait elle-même choisis, répondant aux appels de ce qu’elle appelait la « diplomatie de l’amitié ».

ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COSTS OF GAMBLING ADDICTION IN CROATIA – THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MEDAL ABSTRACT Gambling, as a behavior primarily aimed at entertainment and leisure, is risky due to the potential development of harmful psychosocial consequences, i.e. the development of gambling addiction symptoms. These include the full range of health (physical and mental), social (family, friends, community), and economic (employment, finances, and crime) adverse consequences. The aim of this research is to calculate the economic and social costs of gambling addiction in the Republic of Croatia in order to provide science-based indicators to encourage positive regulatory changes that would ensure a balanced market between profitable and risky elements of the gambling industry. The research starts from the scientific research on the prevalence of gambling addiction in the adult Croatian population and the official data on revenues in the state budget from all gambling activities. Two of the most commonly used methodologies were used to calculate the social and economic costs: National Opinion Research Centre − NORC and Australian Productivity Commission − APC. The research uses original and strict criteria for the prevalence of gambling addiction. Regardless of the methodology used, the results show that the social costs of gambling addiction in Croatia account for between 34% and 77% of the total annual gambling revenue. Ljetopis socijalnog rada 2021., 28 (1), 37-70. 70	članci The results were interpreted in the context of general guidelines for improving the policy of responsible gambling, with the aim of reducing the likelihood of developing harmful psychosocial consequences in society. Key words: gambling; gambling addiction; economic costs; social costs; consequences
Female Dhat syndrome in primary care setting
Authors: Mehra Aseem , Kathirvel Soundappan , Gainder Shalini , Avasthi Ajit , Grover Sandeep 
Published: August 2021

Aim:
The study aimed to evaluate the females presenting with the complaint of nonpathological vaginal discharge to a general gynecology outpatient service in a rural community clinic from the perspective of female Dhat syndrome.

Methodology:
Sixty-nine females considered to have nonpathological vaginal discharge after detailed gynecological evaluation, including required investigations, attending a rural community clinic were assessed for their belief about the vaginal discharge. The study subjects were also evaluated on the proposed criteria of female Dhat syndrome by using a semi-structured interview.

Results:
The mean age of onset of vaginal discharge was 36.1 (standard deviation - 8.5) years. Most of the females considered the loss of vaginal fluid as loss of a vital fluid from the body. Consumption of warm foods and drinks (75.8%) was the most common reason reported for vaginal discharge followed by eating unbalanced food/inappropriate food (73.5%). A majorty of the subjects considered vaginal discharge responsible for bodily weakness (87.0%), backache (71.0%) and stomache (66.7%). About two-third of the participants considered the taking energizing medications like vitamins/tonics/tablets and treatment from a gynecologist the treatment for vaginal discharge.

Conclusions:
Significant proportion of females with non-pathological vaginal discharge have a belief that they are losing a vital fluid of the body. The subject attributes their symptoms to factors such as consumption of warm foods and drinks, and eating unbalanced food/inappropriate food. Accordingly, assessment and management of women with Dhat syndrome require addressing these important issues.

Published: August 2021

Context:
Hyperuricemia and gout has been found to be associated with reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL); however, there is no available Bengali questionnaire assessing the same.

Aims:
We aimed to develop the Bengali version of a questionnaire and examine its cross-cultural adaptability considering linguistic equivalence.

Settings and Design:
A multicentric, mixed methods, cross-sectional study was conducted through consecutive sampling at the outpatients of three homeopathic hospitals in West Bengal.

Subjects and Methods:
The Bengali version of the questionnaire was produced by standardized forward–backward translations. Psychometric analysis was run to examine its factor structure, validity, and reliability.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Reliability was examined using internal consistency (n = 210). Construct validity was examined by exploratory factor analysis (n = 105) using principal component analysis (PCA; varimax rotation). Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; n = 105) was performed to verify the model fit.

Results:
The internal consistency (Cronbach's α =0.880; 95% confidence interval 0.855–0.902), test–retest reliability and concurrent validity of the questionnaire– all were within acceptable limits. The (Kaiser–Meyer–Olkin = 0.832) and Bartlett's test of sphericity (Chi-square: 1644.344 at df = 210, P < 0.001) both suggested adequacy of the sample. In factor analysis using varimax, all the items loaded above the prespecified value of 0.4 and identified 6 components, explaining 77% of the variation. One item revealed a negative variance; hence the whole component of 2 items was removed from further evaluation. The goodness-of-fit of the 5-components model in CFA was also acceptable (Comparative fit index = 0.702, tucker Lewis index = 0.641, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.156, and Standardized Root Mean Square Residual = 0.123).

Conclusions:
The developed Bengali version of the questionnaire consisting of 19 items and framed within 5 components, appeared to be a valid and reliable instrument measuring HRQoL in patients suffering from hyperuricemia.
Test fairness and assessment of differential item functioning of mathematics achievement test for senior secondary students in Cross River state, Nigeria using item response theory
Authors: Effiom Anthony Pius 
Published: August 2021

This study used Item Response Theory approach to assess Differential Item Functioning (DIF) and detect item bias in Mathematics Achievement Test (MAT). The MAT was administered to 1,751 SS2 students in public secondary schools in Cross River State. Instrumentation research design was used to develop and validate a 50-item instrument. Data were analysed using the maximum likelihood estimation technique of BILOG-MG V3 software. The result of the study revealed that 6% of the total items exhibited differential item functioning between the male and female students. Based on the analysis, the study observed that there was sex bias on some of the test items in the MAT. DIF analysis attempt at eliminating irrelevant factors and sources of bias from any kind for a test to yield valid results is among the best methods of recent. As such, test developers and policymakers are recommended to take into serious consideration and exercise care in fair test practice by dedicating effort to more unbiased test development and decision making. Examination bodies should adopt the Item Response Theory in educational testing and test developers should therefore be mindful of the test items that can cause bias in response pattern between male and female students or any sub-group of consideration.

Background: The emergence of multidrug- resistance Enterobacteriaceae especially in E. coli bacteria associated with Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in pregnancy is a serious menace globally posing health challenges and confounding successful empirical treatment as well as increasing pregnancy – related complications.Objectives: The aim of this study is to determine the phenotypic and genotypic characteristics of Extended Spectrum Beta – Lactamases (ESBLs) producing E. coli (ESBLs – EC) isolates in pregnant women attending ante – natal clinics within Ilorin - Kwara State, Nigeria.Materials and methods: A total of 53 non - repeated E. coli isolates from urine samples of pregnant women were presumptively identified using standard bacteriological method and confirmed by commercially available Microgen® Identification Kits. Phenotypic detection of ESBLs was determined using antibiotics susceptibility test and double disc synergy Method for screening and confirmation respectively. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was further used for the genotypic detection of ESBLs genes.Results: A total 88.67% (47/53) of E. coli exhibited resistance to the cephalosporins of which aztreonam was the highest (75.47%) and the least was cefpodoxime (35.84%) while 85.10% were confirmed positive for ESBL production. The genotypic detection showed the most occurring genotype was blaTEM (50%) blaOXA (27.7%), blaGES (22.5%), blaSHV (15%), blaCTXM and blaVEB (7.5%) while sixty – four (64%) of isolates co – harbored two or more gene. BlaTEM and blaOXA were dominant.Conclusion: This study showed high resistance of E. coli to the third generation cephalosporins harboring different ESBL genes which increases UTIs complexity and limit therapeutic options in pregnancy. Therefore, continuous monitoring of resistance in E. coli, effective appraisal of antibiotic control policies and rational use of antibiotics is therefore encouraged.
